It would be VERY funny, sir

My landlord jacked up rent. Can you scare him for me please? Just a little scare? I don't want the nice lady from across the hall to get evicted...

Fear… is not my forte. You’d be better off asking my burlap compatriot @askd0ctorjcrane

[sunkissedlake]

A vague riddle that'll drive him nuts? He's jacking it because I don't work for jervis anymore, but the block is taken over by a new rogue almost every week. It's got a good bakery a few places down and it was rent controlled when i started living there

Im SORRY I want to fit the motif

I raided my closet and all the nearby thrift stores and couldn't find any gold to wear with my green. I found some purple, though. Sorry, sir

…again I said I’m not strict on the dress code

[sunkissedlake]

Oh! Okay. Sure. Thanks. Jervis would get annoyed at me when I talked about something other than Alice in Wonderland. Then he'd do that thing with his cards and my brain and, well. Uh.

Anyway, you were right to pick apart the text structure though, because that can tell us a lot about our author. In books like these- and up until very recently in the classics- a lot of books are written in the perspective of one of the characters recounting what was happening. Like in Dracula, The Outsiders, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Sherlock Holmes. There was a shift around the ninties to more character focused things and coming-of-age stories.

So, what I really mean to say, you were doing a character analysis without really meaning to. And it's insightful, even if you only wrote Idiot and Sloppy in the margins of some pages.

And. Um. Anyway, yeah. It's good. That's- thank you for letting me borrow it. I can start looking for bookshelves so we can store all the books that are stacked on the ground.

Sir I was a firm believer that you can never have too many books but you have TOO MANY BOOKS and no shelf space. You have three of the same exact copies Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. They're all annotated exactly the same. Sir where ar eyou going to put all these?

Well they’re all backups. Jekyll and Hyde is an absolutely scintillating read and should be venerated as such. No more, no less. You’re free to borrow a copy if you wish.

[sunkissedlake]

Alright. So I stayed up later than I normally do to finish. It's good analysis- but it's more over the text structure. There's more than a few references to another rogue in here, but when I taught all of my kids would do that, and I would too, nothing against that. This could make for a good essay, but I would have liked more emotional recall to the characters because human nature is one of the core points of the-.... and I'm going to stop lecturing now. Sorry. I brought you coffee, sir. It's a pistachio latte. And a chocolate croissant for Squid

That is a better name. I was just thinking about calling him Rat. Larry is better. Larry the rat. I haven't even caught him yet and he sounds amazing

I aspire to be like you someday...

Just be polite and respectful to anyone... unless they've done something terrible and Mr. Riddler doesn't like them!

[sunkissedlake]

They are silly, with their buggy little eyes and their silly little noses... I'm going to catch one and name him- uh, what should I name him?

I must've been hearing the rats running around, with their silly little feet. I think they're cute. All you need to get me is, uh, keeping up that positive attitude. Please.

Don't get me anything. You're a child, child. Or I'll tell Mr. Nygma that you ate all those M&Ms I gave you in five minutes flat. It was impressive, but still

[sunkissedlake]

Sure, Squid. I don't see why not. Hey, I've got a coupon for a bakery I don't go to anymore. You want it? Its half off any item. I really need to clena our these pockets more often...

You can just call me Lake. Or Sunny. Or any other variation you can think of. I dont care, I'm flexible, but you're technically above me in the chain of command. So I should be calling YOU sir/ma'am

Thank you for your advice. Here is a movie theater box of M&Ms as a thank you

... I'm going to lose my mind working here, aren't I... whatever. You pay more than Jervis and I'm not dressed like a traffic cone

I finished signing the dozens of NDA forms you handed me, sir! Can I do something other than writing my name now please?

Uhhh….*hands you 10 more packets.* no

[sunkissedlake]

The teacher in me wants to annotate your annotations... I'll do it on sticky notes.

What???? Oh my god Jervis had me working for $9 an hour.... im going to be able to afford top surgery... this is the best day ever

Hello. This is my formal application because I can no loger stand Jervis. I:

- have a degree (masters in lit, useless in Gotham but pretty cool)

- am real bad at riddles

- am trans (DEI)

Thank you for your time

Hmmm. I shall consider such an offer. Thank you

[sunkissedlake]

Green is my favorite color. Jervis currently has me wearing BRIGHT ORANGE. I feel like a traffic cone. I go out in public like this. Please, I will literally pay you to let me wear green.
