(( I truly DO love the seeming open invitation to break the fourth wall at will that this scene has presented... mrgreen ))

((Intresting, thoguh Hosk does not understand what the Fourth Wall is, so all this knowledge the Joker possesses makes him a boring hunt.))
Hosk wasn't amused by this human’s apparent knowledge of his own species language, but he technically moved his feet anyway to avoid the shots, not liking how this hunt was turning out. There was no fun in hunting something that didn't fear anything and therefore Hosk wanted to finish this quickly so he could hunt more fearful prey; challenges were good to, but what would be the fun of finishing prey that didn't have fear in its eyes. The cannon was still charging for the next shot, so Hosk activated his wrist blades to the long setting by thrusting out the blade using his wrist panel on the same hand. Hosk wasn't going to take chances and would wait till his cannon were charged before walking forward. If the bullets the Joker fired only his torso, he would be fine, but an attack to his limbs would hinder his performance. Hosk spoke in his own language since apparently this Joker spoke it too.
"I tire of you...Prey is no good if it doesn't fear the hunter."
Hosk started to walk forward while his gun charge, his blades ready to strike and his gun at his side. Hosk planned to take the shots using his armor and then charge in for the kill. With the Joker dead, he could claim the skull and be off to hunt different prey; the only reason this hunt wasn't turning to hit and run tactics was because the Joker understood the rules of the hunt to keep the others out of the fight.

Reaper grinned a bit as he watched the fight unfurl a bit. Seemed like it would at least be entertaining. His thoughts of course went to hopes of a bloodspill, but the creature hadn't shown any real powers yet. He'd have to wait and see if it was worth it.

"Tire of ME? Well, THAT'S a first... Heh heh..." Joker took careful aim with his pistols, and fired the one in his left hand again, firing at the Predator's right leg. He emptied it in a slightly spread pattern, figuring that one of them ought to hit. The other one, he aimed at the creature's head, and fired. A 'BANG!' flag popped out. "Hehehehehehe... looks like I grabbed the wrong gun..." His smile changed from playful to murderous, and he pulled the trigger again, resulting in a thick purple gas emerging from the barrel towards the Predator. He would've refrained from this, as accidental gas drifting towards any of the onlookers would've counted as involving them, but they had scattered enough for it to not reach them; the Yautja would be its only victim. "Meet my greatest creation: Joker Venom! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" If the Predator inhaled even a little, it would only be a matter of time before the Venom made the creature effectively laugh himself to death. Joker wondered what Predators looked like when they smile. Well, if this worked, he'd know soon enough.

 Gossamer smiled a bit as she watched. Joker seemed to know what he was doing. She felt something pull on the back of her outfit and glanced back at Rosie. Scared and trying to hide. Strange, she shouldn't be...was she gun shy? Oh, she'd have to get her over that then.

Hosk was disappointed this Joker didn't fear him, but Hosk liked the challenge he posed. The venom Joker mentioned was a mystery to Hosk, but he wished he had brought his mask instead of leaving it on the crate a few feet beyond him. Hosk used left hand to cover his mouth as he side stepped and aimed his rifle. The some of the bullets grazed his left leg, even though they seemed to be aimed at his right, but Hosk had side stepped to avoid them. The pain was minor compared to what Hosk had been through before, still it hurt like hell. Hosk reframed from reacting to the pain and fired his plasma cannon at the barrel, knowing very well if he managed to hit it, the gas wouldn't be concentrated at him and would spread; if Hosk had to die from it, then so did everyone else in this building. Hosk laid limitations on himself before fighting this Joker and now regretted doing; humans knew little honor and it seemed Joker was exploiting it for a advantage. Hosk had to stop breathing completely; even his hand covering his mouth wouldn't be a sure way to avoid the gas.

Joker ducked the plasma shot, and saw the Joker Venom spreading in the directions of the others, and was a little confused at this. Realizing what had happened, he smiled; another opportunity to anger and frustrate his opponent had arrived."I thought you had honor... The gas isn't potent enough to reach the others on its own, so you try to MAKE it reach the others YOURSELF... COWARD." Joker had a feeling that that would piss the creature off, so he decided to expand on it further, make it worse. "Trying to kill off the innocents in a blatant attempt to take everyone out if you had to die as well... That is truly a coward's way out... Even I don't do that, not even to Batman..." He walked towards the hunter, through the gas. "I don't have to worry, I'm immune to the effects, through years and years of dedicated self-abuse, but you, and everyone else in this room, are not. Do you know what you have tried to inflict upon the uninvolved people here? Massive internal hemorhaging, uncontrollable spasms of the muscles, constant and permanent contraction of the upper cheek muscles, and uncontrollable, hysterical, constant laughter. The internal damage, combined with the spasms, will usually kill a human in about a minute, two at the most. I'd imagine it would work about the same for you, as it's air-communicatble, and needs to be inhaled, and it's pretty obvious that you DO, in fact, breathe." He dropped the empty normal gun, and re-aimed the 'BANG!' pistol at the creature's gun arm, still closing the distance between himself and the Yautja. "Ready for my next trick?" He pulled the trigger again, launching the 'BANG!' flag itself out of the gun, aimed at the Predator's shoulder.

Hosk had stepped out of the venom and uncovered his mouth to speak. What he does was not of honor, but rather for survival; if the container was exploded, it would be directed at him and therefore be less of a danger. For Hosk, survival was sometimes a first above honor and in truth he wanted to use the gas against his enemy, but the enemy was immune to it, so at least he escaped the fate that waited if he had breathed it in. The flag had hit Hosk's shoulder directly, but there was no sign of pain or discomfort. Hosk pulled out the flag with a grunt and for kicks licked his glowing green blood from the tip. Hosk tossed the flag at his feet and stepped on it’s side.
"How can I be angry at a clown? That's all you are, a clown looking for kicks, so many of your kind and yet you are unique, seemingly one of a kind. I could care less about what a weak human thinks; what I did was for survival, honor is still intact."
This clown was interesting but at the same time maybe to hard of prey to kill easily; Hosk should have stayed hidden like normal, but it was apparent that option had left; he had to fight his foe face to face. Hosk didn't know what other tricks this Joker had up his sleeves, if Hosk could guess, maybe cards that had razor sharp edges or balloons filled with that gas he had. Now Hosk was starting to think like a clown which wasn't a very good sign. Still, it helped having assumptions of what your enemies next weapon would be.

(( Hosk was one for two on his guesses; pretty good for someone who doesn't know Joker at all... LOL ))
"No, it wasn't, because if it had been, you'd have simply backed off, away from it, instead of firing into it to make it spread... Don't joke the Joker." Now only a few feet away for the Predator, he pulled his flower out of his jacket lapel, aimed it at the alien's weapon, and squeezed it, launching highly-corrosive acid at it, thinking it might get its hand as well, hindering it further. The gas began dissipating into nothing, a couple feet away from the closest bystander. "And let's make it clear: I get my kicks from crime, most notably murder, so you fighting me like this is a bit of a thrill!"

((The wrong guess makes it more realistic!)) "No, then it would have just kept going towards me and you said it was potent...Wait, why 'em I arguing with you? You are prey..."
While getting angry at the Joker, Hosk had moved his hand containing the gun, causing the weapon to move and the liquid to hit his leg, making a sizzling sound as it burnt his flesh. The pain was nothing to laugh at, but Hosk had been through worse things like Xenomorph blood. This clown was getting on Hosk's nerves and the glands on his neck were beginning to pumping into him, fueling his anger against him more. Yautja were supposed to keep their anger under control or they would go into frenzy and the pain Hosk was going through caused the glands in his neck to start pumping into him. Hosk dropped his gun and retracted his claw; he would settle this with his hands. With a roar, Hosk started to charge forward, his speed was quite decent for a creature his size.

(( I know, I was just commenting ))
"Oh, goody, fighty-stab-stab time!" Joker crouched down, and made to grab Hosk by one of his legs with both of his hands, and therefore hit him with the joy buzzer for a long, LONG time.
(( close combat, not a lot of time for Joker's banter... yet. ))

Hosk lifted up his foot as Joker crouched and sent the sole of the foot Joker had aimed for right for Joker's face. Hosk wasn't thinking about anything else now with the rage introduced mind. Honor didn't matter, survival didn't matter, just blood lust for the kill. Yautja always tried their best to stay out of this state to keep in control, but sometimes it was unavoidable when enough stress was reached. For instance, Hosk was aiming to crush Joker's skull using his foot which a logical Yautja wouldn't risk damaging his trophy.

Using his agility, Joker leaned a bit to the side, taking the hit as slightly more of a glancing blow than the half-crazed Yautja had intended. He then reached out, and grabbed at the leg again, before it could be retracted, with the joy buzzer hand. He was going to make his flesh singe from the electricity.

Hosk felt a sudden jolt throughout his body as the joy buzzer started to take effect, causing his glands to stimulate more testosterone into his body. In this rage, pain didn't matter, but it would affect Hosk if he ever lived to come out of it. The flesh on his leg was beginning to smoke intensely, so Hosk reached down and grabbed Joker by the neck attempting to pull his off.

"EERKKHH!" The grab was stronger than he had anticipated, but he simply wrapped his free arm around the leg as well. Reaching around the leg, he twisted the flower in his lapel, and pressed it againts himself, releasing more of the Joker Venom. His joy buzzer hand didn't let go; the creature was going to die, if the diabolical clown had anything to say about it.
