Once the door was open, Oswald turned everything on as he walked through the room and then sat on the gross, old leather chair in the centre of it. He had the video feed up and started to hastily flick through channels. And then he found where Jonathan clearly had been.

Well. Fuck.

"... Those guards are missing their heads." Wasn't that just a PR nightmare. Chaos in Arkham. Again!

He skipped ahead to the nearest hallway and there was Scarecrow, in full costume and... "Is that a scythe?!"
beaky: (er why???)

"Find some back up, Victor. Edward has ... limited uses. His brain is an asset, yes but his fighting is subpar in a situation like this." He wasn't judging, he had a tiny bird body - he would also be useless in this fight too. "Edward, who is in right now? We need a sharp shooter or a good physical-- Dent?"

Was he in or out? He hadn't been keeping up with that.

"Dent or maybe Pamela. Definitely not the Joker. Don't let him out of his cell."

He was probably going to find a way out of it anyway.

"Pamela, Harvey, pick one and get moving."

Oswald huffed as he watched the monitor, watching Jonathan stumble almost drunkenly through the halls, probably high off his head on his own toxin. Fucking druggy. He never understood this one's appeal but Edward told him to have faith and be patient.

"Oh and Edward, don't let Jonathan kill Bolton. If you can. It would make my life much easier but... I'm aware I'm asking a lot right now." He just had to ask it. He looked at Victor and nodded his head. "Keep Ed safe."

Harvey had been quiet lately, he hadn't been involved and he had been trying to stay out of the way. Why? Very simple. Because they took his coin. And replaced it with dice. Six sides. Then eight. Now it was twelve. Now, instead of two options, he had twelve and it was taking forever to decide anything. And if he didn't decide fast enough, Bolton took the dice and -- yeah, Harvey was having a time of things.

So when Edward burst in with something that was clearly going to be another fucking option to choose between, Harvey cursed.

"Fuck! No, come on, I just worked out when to sleep..." Harvey almost whined as he looked up at Edward from the door, looking at his dice, his eyes wide with fury and desperation cause fuck, this was bad. "Okay, don't ask me shit! Don't! Tell me."

He needed a direction comment with no options or he'd lose his mind.

Harvey shot upright and took the coin eagerly, flipping it in the air and catching it in his hand. Oh, it was like a drug hit. It rushed through his veins and all the ugly, horrible feelings inside stopped. The anxiety went away, the stress did too. He opened his palm and then smiled. "Yes." He held up the coin so Edward could see his result. "Yes, we have a deal. Fuck."

Exhaling, Harvey looked elated as he clutched the coin tight and kicked the stupid dice aside.

"We're in lockdown. What happened? I was rolling for taking a piss and missed whatever this was." Time to play some catch up, now he was free. He assumed they were going to fix this shit or whatever. He looked at Victor and then frowned. "You don't go here..."

Zsasz always went to Blackgate. If he went. Which was super rare.

"On any other day, I'd say we shoot him but... I know you like him for some fucking reason and we owe you a solid so fine, I'm in. Let's take the strawman down." He wasn't sure how they could best do it if the fucker had a scythe but there were pretty good long range weapons. He looked at Victor's gun and then licked his lips. "That's a beautiful gun by the way."

Game respected game. He loved a man who invested in his gun. And damask print too? Nice.

"Have you thought of shoot him in the leg from afar? Might stop him. Slow him down. Otherwise, I dunno. Maybe we could find a way to get the tranq gun." He wasn't sure if Ed had a plan or not but he wanted to try and be useful at least.

"Always gospel. Someone has religion issues, man." Harvey huffed as he kept himself in front of Edward, wanting to keep him safe. He was more delicate, all fancy and shit, he had to keep his ass safe. As they got further into the hallway, he vaguely heard voices and halted, frowning. There was noise from the guards, far off to the left side, away from where Pamela was being kept. And, naturally, the sound of Jon followed that.

They had a distraction. They could reach Pamela.

"Let's go quickly before the farm boy comes to harvest us." Harvey was not super excited to see Pamela but-- well, she was probably their strongest backup option if they didn't want to use the Joker.
alphapollo: (from pieces)

"Not cards. It was a dice, actually. The cards are next..." And Harvey was living in fear of that but hey, he had to protect his manhood from Pamela cause she was... an experience. He liked her, in a way, and hated her at the same time. And at one point, a weird dating rumour about them spread like wildfire and that was still kind of a funny memory. Oh, boring long summers in Arkham. "Keep trashing on me and I'll overwater the plants in the lobby when it's my chore day."

He gave Pamela a pointed look that he meant his threat and then pulled away, trying to look down the hallway that Jonathan had gone down.

There was nothing that could be seen but suddenly the most horrific screams rang out. Short, sweet and clearly swift to death. "Well... that's the back up guards down too. I guess we gotta get moving or we'll never reach him before Bolton does."
alphapollo: (for the fallen ones)

"They got gay together." Harvey clarified and, for some reason, he clarified it while turning to face Victor. As if he was telling Victor some fascinating news he needed to hear. Then he got awkward and looked away. "I think, anyway. I dunno. They had like... energy. Queer like. I don't know." He was rambling. Oh shit, wasn't Victor queer too? This fucking community was so damn gay!

"Let's just get to the fucking roof."

Harvey led the way, to try and restore some manhood, leading them down the hallway and -- oh, well, now they hit body central. "Urgh. Nice." He stepped over the beheaded bodies and accidentally kicked a head. Whoops. "How the fuck does Jon wield such a thing? It's bigger than him."
alphapollo: (i made it)

"Can we all focus on the weird smelling blood and not my sexuality, please! Ain't that a bigger deal. The blood stinks." He hadn't noticed but he'd rather just stick to that topic than his own issues with Ed and that weird time they almost kissed.

Harvey halted and held up his hand, hoping to not only cut off whatever slam Pamela had coming but also because he heard movement. Erratic movement. Weird noises to and-- oh Fuck.

"Jervis?!"

"Ah!" Jervis was indeed in the hallway, blood splattered up him, eyes wide with terror. Of course. Ever the coward. Though his eyes focused immediately on Edward, ignoring the other rogues. "Dormouse! March Hare has sliced the Cheshire cat in half! By the rec room! He is no hare, no more, no, no, he is --- he is the Jabberwocky!"

"... What?" Harvey raised an eyebrow and then turned to the group to take a poll. "Should I just knock him down?"
alphapollo: (ain't you ready for the latest?)

[personal profile] alphapollo 2022-11-06 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Delite-- Delite was-- Bolton. Solitary. Jonathan was going to solitary. West wing!" Jervis turned and then cried out in terror the moment he met eyes with Victor. Yeah, no, he still had that little something that caused terror. "Must go, must go! Dormouse, we must go!"

And then Jervis turned and rushed towards where the Joker was.

"I mean, we could just... leave them both to die..." Harvey muttered to Pamela, sensing she was on the same wavelength as him and maybe they could convince Victor to agree. Edward, probably not, but he was weak. They could drag him. "Is it really a big loss if the Joker bites it?"

"DORMOUSE!" Jervis cried out, clearly unable to control his volume - not great, Jonathan would find them if he kept that up. "The innards are outards! Hurry!"

Down the hall, right in front of the rec room, the Joker was slumped against the wall with an arm around his stomach. And blood was just ... oozing out everywhere. Jervis hovered, afraid to touch.
alphapollo: (i'll be praying for the faithless)

[personal profile] alphapollo 2022-11-06 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, shit. He's actually... oh fuck." The Joker was dead? Jonathan killed the Joker? That was unexpected. What the--

"Urghhhh. Not-- Not yet. Sorry, boys and ghouls." The Joker laughed very weakly and then coughed out blood violently down himself. He lifted his head up and looked at Edward. He didn't look scared or really pained. His eyes were lit up with a strange sort of mirth. "I was going to get my sweetheart and Spooky ripped me a new one... Now that's funny."

"Bad! Bad... so bad... frumious Bandersnatch."

Harvey unzipped the top part of his Arkham uniform, tossing it to Edward. Eh, he had his tank top underneath. "Try and stop the bleeding or he'll never make it."

"The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!"

"Where was Jon going. Left or right from here? Did you or the clown see?" Harvey was just trying to get some sense here. Jervis shook his head.

"He's stealin' my boy, Eddie." Joker slurred as he leaned forward suddenly and propped his head against Edward's shoulder.

"Jervis should stay. I mean what is he gonna do - put a hat on Jon?"

"I could very well offer a tool or two that could snare the beast... I just can't reach his head."

"Oooh, are we putting little hats on Jonny?" Joker asked as he pulled away from Edward and giggled. "I'm so into that plan. I wish I could stand just to do it."

"We ain't doing the fucking hat plan." Harvey insisted as he shoved Jervis towards the Joker. "Hold the shirt over his fucking wound and we'll circle back once we stop Jon." Otherwise they'd run out of time and he'd kill Bolton while they stood here. He looked at Edward, wanting to do right by him. "We gotta go, Eddie."
