Day 4 - VOICE

[exceptfebruary]

Thursday's child has far to go. [ Only Calendar Man could make such a statement sound like a threat. Far to go to forget the past three days. At least he hadn't broken theme, there was that. He moves on quickly, and takes on a softer tone. ]

Today marks the beginning of December. World Aids Day, if you are keeping track of the holidays. There are quite a few in December. Ashura. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Human Rights Day. The Winter Solstice. Saturnalia. Hanukkah. Christmas. Kwanzaa. New Year's Eve. More. I'm sure some of the visitors to this world have brought their own unique celebrations.

It is a time for gift giving, City. Do you plan on celebrating something this month?

Is that so. I didn't think you were friends.

Well, horror brings people close, don't you think? Much like tragedy and trauma.

We had to deal with a little horror of our own.

[exceptfebruary]

Was it his?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

No. It was Catman's.

[ beat ]

2/2

[exceptfebruary]

When?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Monday. We were all fair of face, save for Thomas of course. And Harvey -- all right, so just me, then.

Harvey Dent was quite the hero.

[exceptfebruary]

The 28th.

Not himself. That implies you two were not to blame.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Not to blame, how generous of you!

[exceptfebruary]

Neither of you seem to be fans of his.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

That's so easy to say, really. Who does seem fond of him?

[exceptfebruary]

Are you going to tell me what happened, or will i have to guess?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

I could make it a riddle for you, if that's more palatable?

[exceptfebruary]

You could, if you wanted.

In word, a rise in voltage
Followed by the last of December
And the letter of a question.

[exceptfebruary]

[ There is a significant pause, and just as one would expect the conversation to be over - ]

And who performed the surgery?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Ah, wasn't that fun, Julian? I can still be fun, you know.

Harvey and I finished it. Someone else began it.

[exceptfebruary]

You don't need to prove yourself to me, Riddler.

Did he survive?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Of course he survived, I was there.

[exceptfebruary]

I didn't take you for a veteranarian.

[ WHAT ]

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

What can I say? Thomas' predicament touched my heart in a manner dissimilar to how I've touched his.

[exceptfebruary]

The surgery was a success, then? And what happened to the one to blame?
