 ... And fully appearing within the combined universe is.... Disneyworld! Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida is not just a theme park, but a huge resort complex covering 47 square miles. The resort contains four separate theme parks, two water parks and 99 holes of golf on several different courses. Miles of outdoor recreation are available including hiking, biking, boating and swimming. It has three separate areas containing shopping, dining and entertainment facilities as well as a fourth area with nightclubs. The resort’s state of the art sports complex, ESPN’s Wide World of Sports, hosts a wide variety of sporting events for professional and amateur athletes. Finally, there are about 18 Disney owned and operated hotels and several non-Disney hotels in the resort. All this combined with many other attractions in the Orlando and central Florida area can be quite overwhelming to travelers. Magic Kingdom, the first theme park built at the resort, has rides, shows and attractions divided among seven fantasy areas. This is the place to find all your favorite Disney characters and attractions. It’s where you’ll find the famous Cinderella’s Castle, which many consider to be the best place for viewing the spectacular fireworks display that takes place nightly. Epcot, the second theme park built at the resort, is divided into two areas: Future World and World Showcase. The attractions in Future World are based on modern and futuristic advances in communication, transportation, energy, agriculture and much more. World Showcase allows you to explore culture, cuisine, shopping and entertainment from many countries including Canada, UK, France, Japan, Morocco, US, Italy, Germany, China, Norway and Mexico. At Epcot you can travel around the world without leaving the resort. The Disney-MGM Studios offers behind-the-scenes looks at the making of movies and popular TV shows and provides live original shows. There are also a number of thrilling rides and attractions based on blockbuster movies, which provide exciting stunts and amazing special effects. Animal Kingdom is the newest and largest theme park to open in the Disney World resort. This 500-acre park is divided into three areas: The Real, The Mythical and The Extinct. The Real area features live animals in exotic landscapes and provides a safari-like experience. In The Mythical area, guests come face-to-face with magical and make believe creatures. In the Extinct Area, dinosaurs come to life. The four theme parks are the heart of Disney World, but there are many other attractions including two full-sized water parks. Typhoon Lagoon is a tropically landscaped 56-acre water park based around a huge wave pool that covers 2.5 acres and holds 2.75 million gallons of water. At certain times the pool is even used for surfing. Blizzard Beach is Disney's largest water park and the most interesting. It is made to look like a snow-covered ski-resort and offers the most slides and the most thrilling attractions. Spending a day at one of the Disney World water parks can be a pleasant break from the theme parks as well as a great way to cool off from the hot Florida sun. Disney World offers lots of outdoor recreation. It has five challenging 18-hole golf courses as well as a 9-hole course for beginners and a 36-hole miniature golf course for family fun. If you prefer tennis there are many courts throughout the resort including Disney's Contemporary Resort Racquet Club. Water sports are plentiful including water-skiing, parasailing, fishing and many types of boat rental. For the extremely adventurous, there is the Richard Petty driving experience where you can drive an actual NASCAR racing car. The car has about 600 hp and can attain speeds of up to 160 mph. .... And the only question is whether or not this Empire of Joy can survive......

Walking through the park with a massive grin under his bike helmet, Honey Badger couldn't wait to find his current target: a drug smuggler who'd been sneaking illegal substances inside Disney merchandise. Sure, it was small time, but as the Marvel executives knew, the Mouse paid well, despite a good amount of corruption. Inside his own head, Haiyou sighed. "Badger, I get that we're here on contract, but why'd you glue Mickey ears to our helmet?" He asked his idiotic other half.
"We gotta blend in somehow! If anyone asks, let's just say Disney bought the rights to Daft Punk." Badger replied out loud. The split personality killer continued his trek through the park, getting a few odd looks from the patrons...and some of the employees. "I think Goofy just gave me the stink eye. I'mma torch him." Honey Badger mumbled. "No. We have to keep a low profile. Just find the target. Besides, there's kids here. You'll scar them for life." Haiyou told his other self. "We got scarred for life, and I'd like to think we turned out okay." Badger joked, earning an internal groan from Haiyou.

Lady Deathstrike  Driving south on I-4 on a beautiful sunny day in Florida. Passing the bulk of the city of Orlando, Yuriko Oyama glanced at some of the homes and many small lakes passing by in the landscape. The warm air was a welcome change from the dismal weather that always seemed to plague Gotham City. With the top down on the bold red 2014 Jaguar F convertible, Yuriko felt the wind in her hair. The Japanese noblewoman shielded her eyes with Ray-Ban sunglasses, and held a smirk on her visage. After passing the grand archway over the interstate declaring her goal, Yuriko glanced over at her fellow vacationer, "Harleysama, we're almost to Epcot. We'll be pulling in to the hotel within ten minutes."

Still having no sign of his target, Honey Badger groaned loudly under the motorcycle helmet he wore. "Dammit all, this is getting annoying! Where is this guy!? And where are we, for that matter?" He asked Haiyou, having gotten himself hopelessly lost one one of the many Disney parks. "See? This is why I told you not to eat the map...aside from obvious common sense." Haiyou chastised within his own head. "Hey, It's better than blowing up our wallet on amusement park food! They're basically ripping money out of your a**!" Badger replied, unaware of the stares he got for talking to himself.
Spotting a nearby directory, Haiyou nodded, taking control of his body for now. "Looks like we're in Epcot, Future World." He said. "Apparently, price-gouging is still a thing in the world of tomorrow. Eight bucks for a ********' pretzel! With cheese! If we weren't getting paid for this, I'd be punching someone in the d**k!" Honey Badger griped. Haiyou sighed. "Calm down. We'll find him." He said, pulling off his helmet to get some air. Honestly, taking it off helped him blend in much more with the crowd.

// Alright, so since CBJ has been mia for over a year now, and I know what he had planned to do with Joker, I'm just going to pretend all of that drama happened and pick up with a depressed Harley. // The blonde woman sitting in the passenger seat stared absently out the side of the car. Her gaze not really fixed on anything, her head resting on her arm as she was leaning on the door frame, and an uncharacteristically heavy frown curved around her lips. She didn't acknowledge Yuriko, and given the way she had been acting over the last few weeks... she likely hadn't even realized Yuriko had spoken. The usually bubbly clown girl had been depressed for quite some time now. Ever since she had returned home the night that magic shop had blown up. Harley hadn't spoken a word for a full two days after that night, and could only seem to sit in bed and cry. When she did finally speak, she wouldn't talk about why she was upset. She had tried to get back into her old mood and cheerful personality, but it was clear she just wasn't feeling that way.

Lady Deathstrike Yuriko glanced in her blonde companion's direction, and could practically feel her depression. The cyborg was worried about her Harley, and gently stroked her back affectionately, "I will always be here for you Harleysama. I have an idea what you are going through, but I will stand by you ... ever and always. I just want you to be happy again. I know that won't make any sense now, but it shall."Looking for her exit, Yuriko slows the Jaguar down and leaves the interstate. Within five minutes, the powerful British automobile parked in front of the luxurious hotel that Yuriko had chosen, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas! https://secure.parksandresorts.wdpromedia.com/resize/mwImage/1/900/360/90/wdpromedia.disney.go.com/media/wdpro-assets/places-to-stay/kidani-animal-kingdom/animal-kingdom-villas-kidani-00-full.jpg?17122012112019 Elmira of Elkwood Poor Harley sad She needs therapeutic rest and relaxation.

Harley looked over at her dark-haired companion and gave her a small smile. "Thanks 'Ri. A little vacation might just do me some good. Feels good to get out of Gotham at least." she said. Her voice still sounding exhausted. After all... she'd been on her own for a while now. Was determined to make a name for herself without the Joker. Determined to move on. Just when she was good and ready for that, he somehow managed to draw her back in. Just before he...

Lady Deathstrike Yuriko put the Jaguar in park, and emerges from the luxury car wearing dark slacks and a velvet red top. the Japanese noblewoman approaches the concierge to get help unpacking their luggage and for parking. Even though she was more than capable of doing it herself -- that wasn't the point. She paid for the privilege, and she was going to get her money's worth. A bellhop helped pull out the luggage from the trunk and loaded it on a tall brass push cart -- with the heavier pieces on the bottom and plastic garment bags hanging from a bar. As the Disney employee pushed the brass cart inside, Yuriko carefully guided Harley out of the red convertible and tipped the valet a hundred dollar bill for taking good care of her new Jaguar. Jambo House Main HallImmediately checking in at the front desk upon entering the lobby, Yuriko addresses the woman at the checkin counter -- remembering to use the American order of name instead of the Japanese order, "I have a reservation under Yuriko Oyama. That would be spelled O-Y-A-M-A."After some typing at the terminal, a tan blonde woman with a Disney name-tag 'Lucy' asks, "May I see some ID?""Of course," Yuriko answers, placing her slender purse on the counter and producing her identification -- being ever so thankful that she is able to use her real name. Lady Deathstrike was an a assassin and a mercenary, but Yuriko Oyama was a Japanese noblewoman of high birth. Lucy takes the ID and examines it, and then scans Yuriko's Disney Vacation Club Member Card. After the scan, Lucy examines the display and hands the ID back with keycards with a small folder, "Confirmed. We have you in Jambo House, Club Level one bedroom villa with Savanna view, Room 310. You also have secured key access to the club-level lounge which serves refreshments from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. And of course, you have access to Concierge service at the Kiliminjaro Club, and as per your inquiry the Foreign Currency Exchange is available there. Also as a reminder, you and your guest have an appointment at the Zahanati Massage & Fitness Center at 9:30 tomorrow morning within the Spa. By the way, Sven is fantastic."Yuriko gave Lucy a smirk, as she tucked away her identification, "Thank you, Lucy""Enjoy your stay."With that, Yuriko and Harley followed the bellhop toward the elevator. Once entering with their luggage, Yuriko sees the bellhop push the button for the third floor. Within a few minutes, the bellhop leads the pair of ladies to Room 310 and opens the door pushing in the luggage cart. Then, the girls see the room for the first time: Harley's and Yuriko's roomKing Size BedElmira of Elkwood Did some research online on the villas. ... wow.

All the while, Harley was quiet and docile. Far from being her usual self. She didn't look around much as he followed Yurko through the halls and up to their new room for the rest of their vacation.
// Sorry about that, Hopefully all the crazy that comes with the holidays will let up this month. //

Lady DeathstrikeAfter getting into their room with their luggage, Yuriko tipped the bellhop. After he left, the Japanese lady saw Harley sitting down on the big bed hugging herself. Slowly approaching, Yuriko sits down beside her blonde companion and gently patted her back, "Hey Harleysama. After we unpack, do you want to go to the restaurant or order room service?"

"Lets.... lets just get some room service. Been out on the road all day. I don't really feel much like going out anywhere just yet." the blonde woman replied. She hugged her legs against her a bit tighter and sighed gently into her knees. "If... that's alright with you?" she added.

Lady Deathstrike"Alright Harleysama. We'll order in, I believe that is the phrase, and then retire for the evening. We do want to rest up, so we can make that morning appointment at the spa ... with Sven," Yuriko gives her compatriot a warm smile before reaching for the 'dine in' menu, and handing it to Harley.

The blonde woman looked at the menu, then sighed deeply and took the booklet from her. She just... really wasn't feeling up to anything. She knew Yuriko was trying, and that was sort of making her feel worse because she was being so... well... completely gloomy. She shouldn't be though... right? Honestly, she had been seperated from Joker for so long that... what happened shouldn't bother her as much as it did. But... it did. Joker was gone. But not before he made amends with her and... and... Harley sighed again and flopped over onto her side. Keeping the menu in front of her to read. Or... at least distract herself with.

Lady DeathstrikeWhile it took a while for Harley to order a meal, Yuriko sat beside the blonde laying on her stomach staring at the menu. A tightness clutched at the Japanese noblewoman's heart, whilst she gently stroked Harley's back, "I know you are in pain, my Harleysama. But know this, eventually all will feel right again -- I've been through where you are now. It is not easy, grief... But I..." For a moment, Deathstrike's voice broke, and she had to swallow hard to choke back her own tears -- her tears were not for the Joker, but for Harley's own grief. Yuriko could barely stand to see her Harley in pain. Still stroking the lady clown's back, a weak whisper continued, "I will ... always be here for you... I will be your rock, and I will stand by your side..."

Skuld HJG Sorry for the very short post. I can't think of much else for Harls... Harley sniffled and curled her legs up against her to hug them. "I.... I know, and I appreciate it." she sniffled. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate Yuri trying. She just... If what had happened with joker had happened a few weeks earlier... or if he hadn't actually tried to...
