This looks like a good place to settle my bones. Good air, good space, nice City.

Hello, there! And who makes this fine place their home? Who do I have the pleasure of addressing with a greeting? Come along then, don't be shy!

Gotham's a fine place if you know where to be.

So you're from my world, or a variation of it perhaps.

And you like Gotham.

[Beat. A touch cruel:]

Familiar with Arkham, are you?

My youngest sister's spent time there. It's more her area than mine.

Please tell me her name isn't Jane, Joe.

Why would you think it's Jane?

Jane Doe? She's the scariest one there, that's why. I'm told a few friends of mine would agree.

Nae, but some would say my little sister is the scariest one there, when she's there. I can't say where she is now.

A recent escapee? I'm told Arkham went under some reconstruction, and not many are under supervision. And most of our notable female names tend to, well, suffer death. If only the tradition would grace Poison Ivy. You're certain she still lives?

Aye, that I am, lad. She's not so simple to kill.

Is she not human?

Now you're really asking about me.

Do you not want to share your legacy? And I thought I was the suspicious one here.

I've told you about my sister. Don't you think that's sharing?

My curiosity is not so easily sated, Joe.

I'm an artist, Eddie.

[Beat.]

Are you using that term loosely, or...?

I mean it literally, lad.

Oh.

Have you met Katurian? He also claims to be an artist, I think you two would enjoy each other.

What kind of art?

Short stories, thus far.

I've never written those.
