A stupid DPxDC prompt thing but this time it was requested! (#6)
Oh, @daemonlogical. What you suggested definitely had some juice to it. But alas! I do not know that you realize what you asked of me! But here it is! A prompt thing! With Calendar Man and the Danny Phantom Christmas Truce! Tis under the cut because it got surprisingly long and also gets a bit... Dark...
T'was the night before Christmas and in Arkham Asylum,
Julian Day was fussing over an item-
Of "great importance!" is what he would say,
To fulfill his great mission! He had to obey!
For those not in the know, Julian has a compulsion.
To criminally praise each special day, or suffer mental abruption.
To the citizens of Gotham he is known as "Calendar Man."
They think him a joke, but they misunderstand.
He's in Arkham for a reason- few still remember the crimes-
Cults and acts of terror! Involvement with which he would deny.
And as for today... Why, it is Christmas Eve!
He had concocted a plan intended to make everyone grieve.
For ghosts had been appearing all over town!
They made tensions rise! Pandemonium was surely inbound.
All that it needed was someone to pull the trigger.
He had accepted this role with much glee and with vigor.
For Julian had heard some days before,
That the ghosts too celebrated Christmas! A temporary ceasefire to their ongoing wars.
And he heard that on this day of the holiday truce,
The Box Ghost would be hosting! Now this! He could abuse.
So he packed some boxes, wrapped in ribbons with care,
And once taken from Arkham, fitted with anti-ghost weapons meant to kill and impair!
To be left outside, abandoned along city streets,
And when the Box Ghost passes by? What an irresistible treat!
He would take them all back to his festively decorated lair,
And as the truce party would start, they would all be unaware-
That all the ghosts present were in some great danger!
And when the bombs would go off-! Most would be wounded or killed... But then the remainder...
Would not know who to blame, so all would accuse!
That the truce was a mistake- An excuse for the inevitable coup!
The truce would be over! The ghosts all would then slaughter-
One another... But soon... A discovery! Their plans, they would alter.
For the true perpetrator of these deaths... It was clearly the humans!
So they'd all invade Earth... And leave it in ruins.
Julian thought it wonderful- A Christmas Day massacre!
And he had the pleasure to be the one to make it occur.
So with this one last package, all ready to go...
The plan will begin! Will it succeed? That, I do not know...

I just now realized that whoever desinged Arkham in Batman Unburied put Riddler, Mad Hatter and Calendar Man in the same floor.
Between Edward's incapacity of shuting up, Jervis sputing aparent non-sense and book quotes all the time and Julian trying to guess people's death day that must be the most annoying sector ever. Whoever desinged it probably made as revenge against the other Arkham employees, the wards must compete and figth to not be in there. And honestly they deserve the suffering.

Will you ever do a version of Calendar man or Ratcatcher?
I really tried but this mess is all I’ve got
I likely won’t make a full design for him but this was fun to try. I love how campy his original design is and his Long Halloween design is so cunty so I tried to combine that but there’s not a lot to base anything off of since calendars are pretty simple so I got very stuck
On the other hand I will never be designing a rat catcher design because he’s already perfect
LIKE THIS IS SO AWESOME HOW COULD I IMPROVE THIS

Resolutions
Page One
January 1
Happy New Year, diary. I feel melancholy. The old dates hold no magic anymore. My New Year’s resolution is to find new occasions to celebrate.
January 21
I feel reborn. Today I celebrated National Hugging Day for the first time. I went to Elliot Memorial Hospital, covered myself in infected blood, and visited the children’s ward.
February 2
Happy Groundhog Day! My new house guest and I are going to watch the stream from Punxsutawney together. If the rodent predicts an early spring, I’ll let my new friend go. But if the groundhog retreats to his burrow, I’ll bury my guest alive.
Page Two
June 5
World Environment Day, a worthy, important cause. I passed this message onto a class of schoolchildren by forcing them to drink ACE Chemicals runoff. They won’t pollute now.
September 19
Dear Diary, Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Today I cut off a man’s leg and nailed a wooden peg in its place. He couldn’t walk the plank. Very disappointing. Checked on my scurvy victim but she wasn’t ready. Next year.
Page Three
September 21
Happy World Peace Day. I left bombs at the Quraci embassy.
October 29
Halloween tempts me. I promised Batman I would be present at his end, and All Hallow’s Eve is the perfect time to bid farewell to him! I will make this one exception in my year of alternative celebrations.
October 31
Damn Scarecrow.

((Decided to actually sit down and get the storyteller trophy for Arkham city. So annoying to constantly:
load the game
talk to Calander man
exit to date and time menu
change date
repeat
12 times
Still easier than playing for a year to get it. But it is way too annoying!))
