Somebody murdered him.

[ENCRYPTED TO BOYD LANGTON]

'I never accept failure nor do the people I employ. We do not undertake contracts we cannot complete. Your clients will have their request carried out.'

Boyd Langton. These are your words, are they not?


[ENCRYPTED TO ONYX AND THE JOKER]

There are certain forms of failure which are unacceptable. However, there are other, rarer forms of failure which are so spectacular as to be entirely new forms of success. I am happy to overlook the absence of a Cyber Key Shard considering the collateral damage that was caused in the process. Your actions were both worthy of praise and entirely in line with certain interests of mine. I really am very pleased. Despite the final outcome, you will be rewarded in full for your fine work.

[ooc: Operation Rache = Success! There's now a lot of media fuss about a thwarted attack in New Jersey involving Global Protection Services employees. There may be a news post shortly about the scandal of Boyd's employees being captured.]

[Joker is sitting against a wall. There are fading bruises on his face, but he is smiling a wide smile.]

And so the curtain rises on a brand new act in my theater of Grand Guignol. On a new stage, even! And that's what makes it so fun.

[He leans forward, the grin widening as he stares into the camera.]

Because he came back to me. And what will he do now? There's an exciting question, eh? Will the Batman and his fledglings be able to stop an ever-expanding criminal element in a world that's not theirs? Can they save the tired, the poor, the huddled masses from terrorists, natural disasters, and a machine with a nasty attitude? Will they adapt? Will they toss themselves into the fray? Or will they perch on the buildings...ever silent, ever watchful...ever powerless?

[He claps his hands and cackles.]

HAHAHEHEHEHE

I can't wait! I'm sure you all can't either! I can feel the audience simply dying to find out what I do next!

[Jessica is at Hudson River Park, sitting on the grass facing the Hudson and New Jersey. Beside her is Laura's still-to-be-named puppy, pouncing on a leaf blowing across the lawn.]

Brrr! It's gotten so cold all of a sudden. I can't believe it's autumn already! Before you know it, it'll be Halloween! And then Thanksgiving!

[She pats the ground and the puppy comes bounding back to her.]

Anyway, who all is going to the charity ball this weekend? I'm planning a shopping trip tomorrow after school if anyone wants to join me!

[This next part is purposely not filtered at all.]

Oh yeah! Hey, Text Guy! Hey!

[A pause.]

Jason. Yoohoo!

[She gives her most charming grin.]

Like, I know you think you're being super stealthy and stuff, but I've seen you creeping around the school. I saw you yesterday and I saw you again today, so don't try to deny it. What's the big idea? Why're you acting like such a weirdo? I know you're trying to be all scary and stuff, but sneaking around in broad daylight is not the way to do it. People are just gonna think you're a crazy stalker or something.

Three! Voice.

[ He sounds hesitant, at first. He doesn't really think this is going to work but he figured he might as well try. ]

Hey, um, do you think the scary voice lady - Lar-- uh, the Porter? Do you think the scary voice Porter would bring someone to the City if I asked her nicely? I've been wishing really hard that he'd come here but it isn't working.

[ There's a pause as he's about to disconnect, but then he remembers something. He sounds much more enthusiastic now. ]

Oh yeah! What sort of parties do you guys like? I like tea parties and taco fiestas, but I kinda wanted to throw something new, like a pie-eating party or a board game party...

What would be fun?

-stand what the hell you are. [Surprise, the comm clicks on in mid recording. There's a small pause. It's obvious that Daniel does not know just how the hell this thing works. He's still in the age of tape recorders and landline phones, this level of technology confuses him to no end.]

So what is this, some kind of recording device? A tiny little cassette? [No, that sounded stupid. Another pause.]

Right, if this is a recording device, then here's for posterity's sake. I have no idea how I got here, how this machine pulled me here from home, and why this wants me to be a hero. You've got the wrong guy. I'm the least heroic person I know. So just send me home, back to Ar-back to someone who's waiting for me and I won't tell anybody about this. I won't sue, I won't write about it, I won't tell the cops, I'll just pretend this never existed, alright?

[There's a pause and some fiddling. Daniel's obviously trying to turn the comm off, muttering to himself as he does so.]

Pretending things never existed. Yeah, I've got some experience in that-

[And it goes off!]
