Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Well, everyone knows about it, but how many times has Batman fallen for it? Don't feel bad. 3nodding ))

Joker knelt down, making sure that his knee was square on her throat. "Ah, don't you love the predictability of it all? I prattle on and on, you snap, I hit you from your blindside. Well, I guess it's time to begin that sequel I was talking about! Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..." With that, Joker grabbed her head with the buzzer hand, and allowed the volts to course through her again. After another 4 second passed, he let go. He continued on whimsically. "You know, I could offer you a choice, about helping me in my quest to kill Batsy, but if there's one thing you Bat-lot are known for, it's not giving out names. Even Jason had more dedication than that." The painted maniac grabbed her head again with the same hand, and ran his other hand through his hair. After another couple seconds, he let go again. "And I know that you have more dedication than Jason. Maybe even more than Batsy! Look at you, you haven't made a peep this whole time! And I still see you breathing! You're something else, I'll give you that! Much better than the old one! I don't even miss her anymore!" He grabbed her head again, smiling like a lunatic, and after a few seconds more, let go again. Not taking his eyes off Batgirl, he says. "Deadpool, Spider-lady, what do you think of all this?"

(( Just when you thought a twisted, diabolical, murderous clown with an criminal-insanity streak TWO miles wide couldn't get any worse... -cues dramatic music- twisted That streak grows another half-mile... ))

Joker looked at the hand that was obviously going for her belt and sighed. "Just like a Bat-joke, to reach for that MIRACULOUS utility belt you all possess..." He grabbed the arm with the buzzer hand, simultaneously sending another wave of electricity through her body, and moving it up and away from its target. Once that was done, he let go. "C'mon, Batgirl, say something!" He pressed down on her shoulder with the buzzer hand. "BATGIRL! BAAAAAATGIIIIIIIRL!!! WAKEY-WAAAAAAAKEY!!!" Although she didn't know it, he was beginning to toy with her in much the same fashion he had Jason Todd, but now his instrument was his trusty joy buzzer, instead of a crowbar. He released the grip on her shoulder, only to begin slapping her across the face repeatedly with the buzzer, sending short bursts of voltage through her, and said, emphasising on the slaps, "I'M... going to BE... your BEST... FRIEND!!!" Joker began to laugh insanely again, clamping down on her skull once more. "He he... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Once he calmed down, he removed the grip and looked into her cowled eyes. "You know, something's missing from this..." As he thought, he put the buzzer on her neck. "I know it... AH! I know!" He releases the grip and looks at her again with eyes that read pure malice. " I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!"

(( Should I unmask you? It's tempting, but I won't do it without permission ))

(( Um... he's kneeling on your THROAT... not sure how your leg will mess him up much... Oh, well, I'll roll with it ))

Blocking the kick with his ungimmicked hand, he looked at her again with cold hate radiating off of him. He presses down on her throat for a second with his knee, just to let her know who's in charge. "I guess that's my cue..." He pulled out a small knife that he kept on him for situations like this, and began cutting away at the stitches around the mouth section of her mask. "This is going to hurt you more than it's going to hurt me..." About halfway across the mouthpiece, he intentionally knicks her between her lip and nose with the knife. Noting the little bit of blood, he commented, "Hm... Seems that you Bat-folk bleed the same way as the Robin-folk... I wonder if you DIE the same way as the Robin-folk, too... Heh heh heh heh heh..." To ensure her continued 'cooperation', he slapped her again with the joy buzzer. "THAT... was for being a poor sport and not talking! Yeesh, not even Batsy's as tight-lipped as you..." After that, he went back to dutifully cutting off the fabled cowl of the Batgirl. He cut the last stitch, and pulled back on the hood, revealing her face.

(( I'll leave it to you to decribe her, she IS your character, after all ))

(( It's cool, I look forward to continuing this tomorrow. ))

"And she's a PRETTY one at that! Heh heh heh..." Joker said to her, then a look of recognotion spread across his face. "Wait... Cassandra Cain... I remember you... AND your father a bit... Abusive old b*****d, he was, as I recall... It was the only reason I got along with him... So THIS is how his little silent assassin turned out... He'd be so disappointed in you..." Joker stepped back into thought a little. "Although, that WOULD explain your constant stoicness that rivals that of Batsy himself... No WONDER you were accepted into the Bat-clan... Oh, by the way, on a completely irrelevant topic, we all know how much he enjoy his toys, much like me!" Joker stroked her cheek with the joy buzzer just hard enough to trigger it, but soft enough to make the gesture otherwise look tender-hearted. After a second, he stopped and said, "I mean, he's got the Batmobile, the Batwing, the Batarang, the Batsignal... makes you wonder if he's got a Batpotty in his Batrestroom... Well, can you tell me?" Before she could respond, he pressed the buzzer against her upper lip, holding it there. "What was that? I can't HEAR you! Oh, can't you tell me? Please? I promise I'll never tell a soul! Won't you tell me? You won't? Not at all? All right, then, I'll just have to settle for your life instead... Heh heh heh heh... HAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEEHEEHEEHOHOHOEEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The rambunctious laughter of the Joker rang throughout the city.

"And that," Deadpool said, his voice light, as he stepped smoothly between the helpless girl and the Joker, "Is enough of that. Party pooper though Bat-chick is, I don't want her dead. Why you ask? Well, I already said that I wanted to play, and she can't move anymore. BOOOORIng." He glanced back at her. "No offense, cupcake." He turned back to face the Joker, beaming under his mask. "Anyway, the bat is boring, Spidey clone number 2 billion isn't worth my time, and the Rhino is gone. Much as I hate to say it, that leaves my new best friend ol' buddy ol' pal."

((There. If you ignore him this time, he's going to godmode and... paint you pink or something. I'm not kidding.))

(( -bows- Why, thank you for the compliment, Batgirl. You do a good Cassandra Cain, yourself. ...And pink really isn't my color, either... ))

"Wha..." The quiet laugh from her, although obviously fake, was enough to make him pull his hand off of her. This allowed him to hear Deadpool's comment, which didn't make him happy, not in the slightest. "Hmph... The Bat-brat's NOT boring, just defeated. But still, I'll let you have your way, Deadhead. BUT! Rhino isn't gone, he's in that bar!" He pointed in the direction of the bar Rhino was currently drinking his sorrows away in. "Let's go over there and say hello! Spider-lady... Cassandra Cain... I'll see you later... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHOHOHOOHOOHAHAHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

He lifted his knee off of her throat and stood up. "Come on, Deadpool," Joker said, and began to walk towards it.

Deadpool was a little put-out; he'd actually meant that he wanted to go a few rounds with the clown, but this was probably for the best. Rhino was fun to annoy... plus, if all Joker had up his sleeves were prank-themed weapons, it wouldn't have been much of a fight, anyway. Not that he didn't still want to try, but it was bound to happen on its own, sooner or later. The Joker was unstable, and Deadpool knew that he sure as hell was; confrontation was pretty much inevitable. Glancing over at Sapphire, he shook his head and made a 'tsk' sound. "Such violent behavior!" he said, pretending to be affronted, "How dare you threaten us? There are ladies present!" he added, indicating the Joker's retreating back. Then he winked and walked after the other man.
