This is just for people who have made it into Joker's personal complex in the Halloween Park RP. ONLY post here if you've made it INSIDE the building.
Yes, the security for it's nigh impenetrable, but rest assured, EVERYONE will get in soon enough...

Sapphire appeared inside, and was flung backwards as though she had still been sucked into the building. She stumbled backwards and tumbled to the ground. She hissed under her breath and quickly sat up to look around.
"What was THAT?"
"Not me....he has someone else that can use magic."
......wonderful. Can you get us out?
.....no. Its....strong magic. Nothing's getting in or out.

Joker laughed at the predicament that Sapphire was now in. "Zira, if you could please separate those two? I'd REALLY hate to have to come back from a slit throat; getting stabbed in the chest was bad enough..."
"If I kill you, you won't get the chance to come back," Savage corrected, annoyance in his voice.
"Says the guy that defies biological science on a daily basis..." Joker quipped back.

"Oh, I might think about it...." Zira replied, absently fiddling with Rosie's hair. "It's really not that entertaining if they're seperated so soon..."

Joker looked at Savage and shrugged. "Sorry. It's not like I can tell a GODDESS how to do things. It be like a preschooler telling YOU how Henry VIII ran England."Vandal Savage rolled his eyes. He was getting more and more agitated by this, but he could see the clown's point. Joker grabbed a new microphone, and said, "Sapphire Spider! Gossamer! WELOME! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here in Hell. You'll get to see me soon enough, but until then, we've got oh-so-many games waiting for you! If you do well, you might get a prize..."
The clown put down the microphone, and grabbed up the reciever for the radio again. After fiddling with the frequency, he said, "Have fun, doctor...""Any particular suggestions?""No, just your usual work will do.""Very well."Savage spun the clown around and grabbed the clown up off the ground by his lapels. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO KILL HER!" Joker put his hands up in a 'hold on' gesture. "Alright, first of all, he's not going to kill her. Just mess with her head. And second, hands off the jacket. You're probably the fifth person I've had to tell this to. It's a real pain the the rear to fix up velvet if it actually gets messed up."Savage, clearly not completely believing the clown, more tossed Joker backwards than just let him go. Joker went backwards a few steps before regaining his balance. Straightening his jacket back out, he returned to the monitors, keeping more attention on what was going on in the park, instead of in the building; he knew Savage was watching THOSE monitors.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very slowly, very quietly, gas began to be pumped into the atrium, which was where Sapph was.

Sapphire jumped a bit as the voice came back. Addressing both her and Gossamer. She grimmaced and looked around the large, open room. Needed a door...or window....or just a place to hide. From what Gossamer was saying, there was no way out. And if she couldn't get them out of there....then trying to bust out herself wasn't going to help either. There were no doors open to suggest they needed to go anywhere, and there seemed to be no place to hide.
...just stand here in the open and wait for...whatever was going to happen.
.....
.....wait...something was happening. It was getting....darker. First the ceiling, ten the walls around her. Dark enough that everything around her just looked...black.
Not good. She couldn't see what was going to happen. And Gossamer couldn't seem to see anything either.

Rosie stared wide eyed at Savage as he grabbed up Joker and shoved him back. She shifted in her seat and hugged her doll closer to her as she turned her attention back to the monitors.
She didn't like this guy....had a bad temper....
Zira just grinned and gave the child a reassuring little pat on the head.
She could have done what Joker asked the first time. It was just....her powers didn't quite work like that. She could've tried to seperate the two women, and ended up simply giving her miss-matched socks or something. Her powers were just...random like that. She didn't think they would have done what he wanted right then and there.
....not that she was going to say that out loud or anything.

The room just seemed to grow darker and darker. In reality, the room was as well lit as it had been when Sapphire arrived. But...as far as either Misty or Gossamer were conserned....the world around them was pitch black.
Sapphire just stood there, her posture fallen into a defensive stance, and cautiously looking around the room. Everything was unnervingly still. Quiet.
She felt her heartbeat begin to hammer away in her chest, but tried to keep herself calm. It was too quiet in the room. And it was dark enough that she couldn't see anything. Anything could happen right now, and she'd have to deal with it on her own. She was trapped in here. No one was coming to save her.
Not that we would anyway.... Alex's voice whispered in the darkness.
Sapphire's eyes widened behind her blue tinted lenses and spun around. There was one there though.
You're always getting yourself captured. another voice whispered.
Did you really think we'd come to your rescue every time? said another voice.
All voices Sapphire knew all too well. She'd spent most of time with them both in and out of costume.
"Scarlet?" she whispered quietly. No....that isn't right. Scarlet wasn't here. She never even made it to this world.
You're on your own with this one. said another voice.
If you're lucky, maybe Blackstone will come and bail you out. hissed another.
"No!" she called out. She didn't want Blackstone to come, she wanted her friends to-
Oh yes. You chose him after all, didn't you?
You sold out.
You almost sold the rest of us out too.
You're on your own.
No. No, nonononono. This...whatever this was, it wasn't real. Wasn't really happening. NONE of the people the voices belonged to were anywhere around here. This was....a trick. Something.
No one's coming to save you.
No one!
Why don't you just save everyone the trouble and just die.
"No. No, no. Not happening." she mumbled to herself, trying to shake her head clear.
Then another voice ran in the darkness. This one much more lighthearted and happy. A little girl's laughter. And this time something inside Sapphire tensed up immensely. Small feet thumped against the ground behind her, and Gossamer forced Sapphire's body to spin around. Caught off guard by having her body suddenly move like that, Sapphire's heartbeat sped up.
And then....it practically stopped in her chest.
What she found standing behind her was not a child, but a full grown man in a tailored suit. Blackstone was standing there, just staring at her. Normally, she wouldn't have such a strong reaction. But his eyes......the telling sign that he was in a murderous rage. All black with dark red puples staring back at her.
Staring right. At. Her.

Joker looked back at the atrium monitor, noting how Sapphire was beginning to act. "Ah, Johnny gone to work. This'll be interesting, to see how two people in one body react to his Fear Gas."

Sapphire stood very still and just stared at the man she thought was in front of her. And for a few very long, silent moments, he did the same. Somewhere in the room, she thought she heard the little girl laughing again. But her focus was utterly on Blackstone's murderous gaze towards her. She tried asking Gossamer for a little help, but she seemed to be utterly distracted as well. There also seemed to be movement elsewhere in the room. Lots of it.
"Do you know why I'm here?" Blackstone finally asked. His tone...unnervingly calm.
"....No....no, this...this can't be real." she replied quietly. She tried to take a step backwards, but her body wouldn't move. She wasn't sure if it was because someone was holding her in place, or if she was just that scared right now.
"I assure you..." he said as he began walking towards her. "This is very real."
Sapphire didn't say anything. Just watched as he walked up and stopped a few inches in front of her. She heard the laughter again, and her head whipped around to see where it was coming from. Thought she seen a little girl with strawberry-blonde hair skip into the darkness...but she didn't recognise the child. And her head was snapped back towards Blackstone wen his hand latched onto her jaw and jerked it back.
"I know what you did." he growled, keeping his fingers tight on her jaw.
"What...what did..."
"I gave you luxuries. I made your life easy when you finally chose to accept your new lifestyle. Even though I still KNEW that you just sat there and LET my last wife die. Even though I could have made things much simpler by just breaking you down completely and turn you into my personal assassin for the rest of your life. I gave you an easier life when you accepted that you were mine. I gave you anything you wanted." Blackstone replied, his voice becoming overly calm again. "When you were finally rescued, and went back to the "friends" that so quickly thought the worst of you....you made it quite clear that you wanted nothing more to do with me. I accepted that." he said. His hand released her jaw and slid gently across her cheek.
She wasn't sure, but she thought that his hand was a little...red. At least from what she could see of it. She looked down at his other hand and noticed the dried blood all over it.
His hand slid down her cheek, and his fingers rested on her neck. "I can even accept that you have children with someoen else."
Sapphire's eyes widened, realizing what he was getting at.
His finges slid across her neck. "What....I have trouble accepting...." he continued, his voice begining to loose control of the calm tone. "...is how similar he is to me."
His hand suddenly latched onto her neck VERY tightly.
The little girls laughter suddenly turned into screaming. Gossamer started panicing. Sapphire choked, trying to get air to her lungs More footsteps. Men in prision suits began walking out of the darkness. A LOT of them. She really didn't like the way they were looking at her. The little gir started screaming out for someone named Janet.
"...p-please....don't....don't kill...."
"After you made it clear you wanted nothing to do with me..." he hissed as his grip tightened around her neck.

A voice echoed around Sapphire, but he knew that there was a very real chance that she wouldn't hear them. "Hm... You seem to be having a stronger reaction than most people. Interesting..."

A part of her DID hear the voice. It would have been enough to draw her senses back. But....Gossamer was currently focused on the sound of Julie screaming in terror. And the newly released prisioners that were walking towards them. Some of the last faces Janet ever seen.
And Sapphire.....she knew what Blackstone was like when his eyes were like this. She knew that his temper that he controlled so well on a normal basis was non-existant when he was like this. He was in a rage, and he killed when he was in a rage. He had beaten her nearly to death quite a few times when he was like this.
....over much smaller issues than....
"...I....I didn't m-" The grip on her throat became tight enought that she couldn't finish her sentence.
"Did you think I wouldn't find out? Did you think I'd just be FINE with it!?" he hissed.
She heard more children screaming. This time ones she knew. And suddenly....she realized why his hands were so bloody.
"...y-you....did....didn't....."
Suddenly he lifted her off the ground and tossed her backwards. She bounced hard off the ground and laid there on her back. She heard the little girl scream agian. Then there was a horrible, horrible snapping sound. And the screaming stopped.
"NO!" she screamed. But this time, it was Gossamer's voice.
She tried to sit up, but felt herself pinned down by hands. She couldn't see anyone, but Gossamer was in an absolute panic. Her chest actually started hurting from the fear building up from both her and Gossamer. She couldn't breathe.
She felt a hand on her neck again and found Blackstone kneeling over her. A knife in his other hand. Pointed at her stomach.
"I went EASY on you! Gave you anything you WANTED! Then you turned your back to me...AND YOU DO THIS?!" he shouted.
She felt a very sharp pain in her stomach and she screamed.
More unseen hands on her. Holding her down and pulling at her costume.
There was a sudden pain running from her mouth to her cheek, like a blade carving it open.
She screamed louder. The scream dual toned.
She opened her eyes and looked back up at Blackstone. But it wasn't him this time. Savage was in his place, with nearly the same enraged expression as Blackstone had.
The knife went deeper into her stomach.
She screamed.
They both screamed.
And suddenly....Sapphires body just exploded in an orange light. Gossamer had had enough. And she was fighting back. Streams of orange energy lashing out in random directions.
The room suddenly became the way it was supposed to, quiet, empty, and dangerless. Save for a few charred marks in the walls. Gossamer had aimed for quite a few attackers that just didn't exist.
Sapphire spun around, got onto her knees, lept backwars, and onto the wall. Instinct just took over and she tried to move to the highest, darkest, out of reach place there was.
Once there she just sat there, breathing hard, looking quickly around the room.

A quiet chuckle emerged from somewhere in the room. "Oh, yes. By far the most interesting reaction I've documented in a long time. And all the voice changes... There's two of you in there, isn't there? That would explain the strength of the reaction..."

Sapphire's head jerked towards the sound of the chuckling, but she didn't see anyone. Her eyes darted around the room as the man spoke. She was aware now that everything she had just seen wasn't real. It had all just been in her head. But her body was just...she couldn't calm down.
Her entire chest hurt from the strain her heart had just gone through, as well as strugling to catch her breath. Her stomach and cheek still hurt, and she couldn't stop trembling.
He....he was going to kill her. They both were. They were going to kill her, and they were going to go after whatever family she had here. They...they were going to....and no one was going to help her. They still hated her. They...they were....she was....
No. No, no. That was all in her head. It wasn't real. It wasn't real. It wasn't real....they weren't real. The voices weren't real. The other men weren't real. The hands weren't real. The children screaming wasn't real. The...
...the child screaming....
....wasn't real.....
.....
"....reaction?" she asked in a low, dangerous tone. The voice belonging to Gossamer.
