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?

I seem to remember going to visit you nearly every day. Does that make me exempt from needing to divulge my deepest, darkest secrets?

[cheapbastard]

would you go revealing them anyway if i said no?

[bossily]

I might. Depending on what the incentive to my being honest is.

[cheapbastard]

there's gotta be an incentive?
you don't wanna share just because it's a nice thing to do?

[krazed]

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]

at the time?
not anymore?

[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

[scarcastically]

Not so much.

I mean, if I saw him again, I might consider doing it one more 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.

[bossily]

Would you?

[cheapbastard]

depends on who was asking.

[cheapbastard]

the fuck did you do that for?
just because?
or was there a reason?

i admit, never kicked the queen off a cliff but fuck, i'd want to

[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?

[scarcastically]

I wouldn't stop you.

But basically they murdered my dad and wrote me off.

[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.

[bossily]

I'm asking. So, would you be nice and answer first?

[cheapbastard]

my dad's a pile of shit so that wouldn't have done it for me
but i know not everyone's got that kind of thing

made 'em pay for leaving you to proverbially die?

[scarcastically]

Not just that, but yeah.

Left me in the care of the American foster system. Enough said.

[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.

[cheapbastard]

i don't think you wanna know
might make you look at me differently

so, let's go with watched a supe kill a woman and didn't do shit about it.

I think it depends on the ends and the means, doesn't it? I don't like violence, but I use it when it seems necessary and I don't think people who use it more easily than I do are always wrong.

I'm not going to let someone hurt the people I care about or go after innocent people. I wouldn't like it, but if I had to kill someone to stop them from killing others, I'd do it and I'd have to live with that.

I'd rather find another way, but the world isn't perfect is it? Sometimes there's no option C or there's no time and if you let something bad happen that you could have stopped, you have to live with that, too. I don't know. I want to believe that there's usually another way, but life isn't black and white like that. If it was, it would be a lot easier.

[homeostatic]

I'm glad to see you made it.

[bossily]

So you're saying you enjoy the way I look at you now?

You stopped those bandits from killing me. So you have it in you to care. Why didn't you stop them from harming her?

un: p.derolo

[whitestonelives]

Yes, in most cases. But I'm not a very good person, and if someone more moral than I am has a better plan that doesn't hurt as many people, then I'm not opposed to helping them.
