i ain't here to commiserate or shit like that
you wanna feel like shit, feel like shit
no one's gonna baby you

but i've had a little to drink, the stars all look the same so i'm curious
tell me your biggest sin
come on, i was the fuckin' preacher back in that shitty town
i listened to all kinds of shit from those people
none of you shits came to visit so

cleanse yourself
get it off your chest
or make something up to entertain me.

( he doesn't expect anyone to actually go confessing their sins but hey, maybe they'll get creative and he'll have his fun for the night. )

come on, i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
if you don't wanna share, tell me, you think the end justifies the means?
would you be willing to do some nasty shit to get the best result in the end?

what kind of sins are we talking here?
failed to attend a court date or broke a guy's legs because he had a bad mouth?

are they sins from here or sins from home?
is it take a sin leave a sin or is there a quid pro quo?

never did like preachers.
too preachy for me but whatever floats your boat.

[cheapbastard]

not a real fuckin' preacher, darlin
i had to play a part and i played it amazingly
looked great in the collar

as for your questions, whatever you want
i don't care what you share
just share
it's sharing time

[krazed]

Oh, he acts! What a shit role to get and I say that emphatically as someone that grew up around nuns and going to parochial school. In a badass western you got to be on the god squad.

Right, right, but for us and not you.
Okay, well, here's what I'm willing to share for now.

Broke my ex-boyfriend out of an insane asylum because I'm credentialed.
led Gotham's best, brightest, and battiest superhero on a cat and mouse chase that lasted months half out of boredom and half out of habit.

killed the last guy I was engaged to because he was a genocidal maniac.

double-parked in front of my usual sandwich shop.
fed the guy I bought a hyena from to the hyena.
Petty-theft, violence, defacement of public property, defacement of someone's face, jail break, jail break II: electric boogaloo, assault, breaking and entering, unlawful use of a firearm, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, arson, assault of an officer...
I could go on, but then we'd be here all day.

[cheapbastard]

who the fuck are you?

( because he approves of all this shit. he's also really fucking impressed by some of this list. )

now, you're really gonna impress me if you tell me this shit is true and not something you made up. it's true, right?

a fuckin' hyena, really?

[krazed]

Harley Quinn! Nice to meetcha.

It's not like I've got any evidence to prove it, but I'd pass the polygraph. I'm the real deal, they're not just hiring saints over here on orb-patrol, and I bartered my way here the same as anyone else.

Yeah, his name is Bruce. He didn't make the trip, but I'm sure he's fine - him and Cass are an unstoppable delinquent tag team. And hyena's y'know they work on a matriarchy so it's good he has her and some of the others considering I'm up here playing HALO.

[cheapbastard]

i've got a dog but he's a lazy ass. no hyena even if he wants to think he's tough shit.

( he misses terror. a lot. fuckin' little lazy ass dog. )

i'd say i want to trade him in for a hyena but i kind of love the little shit.
even if he stinks
and does nothing.

anyway, i thought i'd done some shit
you might have me beat.

[krazed]

The lazy ones are so cute! I bet he misses you too, y'know, like when he writes in his dog journal about his day it's all about you and the good times and maybe also about snacks and that poodle across the street.

I've met plenty of guys who stink and do nothing and they don't have the added bonus of wet little noses and four little paws.

Don't take it too hard. It's not easy to trade away stability, I'm fortunate in so far as that I never had it.
And it's great! I mean, it's all fun and games until you're on everyone's shit list.

[cheapbastard]

well, that i am very familiar with
but i think i also might seek it out
want to get on everyone's shit list
kind of a badge of honor

[krazed]

I had half the city gunning for me once I ditched my ex.
Lose some of the ammunition and suddenly everyone's chomping at the bit, am I right?

And I thought I held a grudge.

That's the worst merit badge I've ever heard of.
Say what you want about those little bitches but at least the Girl Scouts have good cookies.

If you like causing that kind of trouble I'm sure me and you'll get along just fine.

[cheapbastard]

i do like a spot of trouble.
or maybe more than a spot

i've had a bunch of fuckin superheroes coming after me
and with all their powers
still couldn't take me out
think that says more about me and less about them

[krazed]

In my professional experience the dangerous is always more interesting than the mundane.

What a coincidence! Me too.
Batman's not exactly super, but he is a hero with all the tricks and tools of the trade. Basically, superpowers aren't a hard sell where I'm from. I know one chick, she could clear a neighborhood block with her vocal cords.

I don't think it does. I know it does.
Tell me more about all the heroes you pissed off and all the time they wasted trying to zero one dude. It sounds to me like they deserved it.

[cheapbastard]

that could take a fucking while.
i pissed off a lot of them
leader's called homelander
fucking worst of them all

powerful as all get out and if he used his powers like he should, he could really protect the world
but he wants power and fame and shit like that
doesn't take who he hurts

it's all about him

[krazed]

Homelander sounds like your typical narcissistic sociopath.
I know a few of those.

At least the heroes where I'm from, they TRY and I use the term loosely to be heroic and do heroic type things.
I mean, the act is tired and overplayed but y'know they're still saving folks.

Sounds like your place of existence missed the memo on the superhero code of conduct.
