[network] @gravedigger; video; Morning 197 [open]

[The Joker is sitting against a wall, holding out a gloved palm in which there is chewed up bits of rubber and powder.]

In case you're all wondering how badly the spiders want us to stay outta those dang vents the answer is "at least a lot".

[He coughs raggedly and some blood burbles past his lips which he wipes away with his sleeve.]

Buggers chewed through a hose filled with rubble. The rubble is metal for those of you playing at home.

There's something under us. I'm gonna guess it's the server room. Didja know there are still trap doors around here nobody's bothered opening? I can't do everything myself.

[He grimaces.]

Well, no, actually, I can but people don't seem to like it when I do. Someone ends up dying and it's serial killer this and psychopath that....

Not that I'm not those things.

I am those things.

Look, the point is I'm being nice, I'm trying to play this little game. Get underground. Dig deep and all that.

[He pokes a finger towards the camera.]

Also don't listen to that Watson fella if you see him around. He tries to hack off mass-murderers on purpose.

It was never funny, mate. Just because you lost the object of your obsession and are sulking doesn't mean it ever was to begin with.

You happen to be a psychotic killer clown.

What you are is lost and scared. This isn't a game for you, anymore. It's not funny or fun. So, you wanna help now? All right. Turn yourself over to custody, and we might consider letting you. Right now you're just a rabid dog off his chain who's dug up something that doesn't tell us much more than we learned when Mr. Cat took his walk into the vents.

I'm really not sure where in 'turn yourself over' you got 'go and kill people.'
jumpthegun: (angry | hands up)

You've murdered Fiona, Clayton, House, and who the hell knows how many other people back where you're from. You knocked me out and threw me in a snowbank and left me for dead. You ran out of good graces a long time ago, you insufferable prick!

[John all but growls at the tablet. Okay. Okay. Calm down. He knows he needs to calm down.]

I just said I want you to give yourself over to custody. I dunno what you were seeing in the maze, but I'm not the insane one between the two of us.

[Bucky can know. Alfie and Royce can know. Sherlock can know. It's not about guilt. There wouldn't be any guilt here. But the Joker? The Joker isn't getting that admission out of John. So, he'll lie. By omission. He hasn't actually outright disagreed with the Joker, after all.]

I'm a doctor. My partner is the consulting detective.

[Whom John helps. He also really doesn't like how on-point that description is.]

And you might be surprised how much legwork Sherlock does, himself, when it comes to chasing. He could lay you out flat if he wanted to.

[ He catches this conversation right about here, and he doesn't know whether to laugh or yell at the screen. ]

Oh my God, John. Stop.

Stop what?

[He's seeing red, and Sylar isn't anyone he wants to talk to.]

Remember when Sherlock set me off and we had that talk about me needing to know when to step away?

You need to step away. What you're doing right now is painting a target on Sherlock's back and setting up flashing lights all around him.

[That takes the wind out of John's sails. He just did this with Pierce and now he's doing it with the Joker. Bloody hell.]

Fine. Whatever. I told you to call me Dr. Watson.

[ Wow. Is he listening? He's listening. That wasn't what Sylar expected at all. Of course, now this means that Sylar probably shouldn't commiserate with the Joker on how impossible John is. He'll have to think about it. For now, he can give the good doctor this one concession. ]

All right, Dr. Watson.

[There's no response. John just disconnects. Sorry, Sylar.]
jumpthegun: (angry | this close)

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-01-11 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You aren't worth his time. You'd rank a four on a good day, maybe. You're not the least bit clever or subtle.
jumpthegun: (angry | killer)

[John closes the conversation. He closes it and he throws his tablet across the room. And then he goes and kicks the wall for good measure while taking advantage of the color vocabulary he learned in the Army, but so rarely uses. When he's worked that out of his system, the doctor comes back to his tablet, grateful that he'd been alone for that particular tantrum. It's at least ten minutes later that the Joker gets his response.]

I'm pretty sure Ms. Quinn's the only one who could ever love you, Mr. Joker.

You've said hi to him. And I'm with him at the moment.

[Well... will be with him soon.]

As I said, if you'd like to turn yourself over to custody, you're welcome to.
