delicious bubbly

Elspeth is glad that Milliways likes her, because she likes it. Jacob at her side and a glass of this nice golden stuff in her hand (she's tried the other synthetics; they're nice for an occasional change, but only humans care about dietary variety that much and this one is her favorite) and hubbub from a hundred worlds around her: lovely. A lovely break from work that keeps no one waiting, that doesn't even throw off her sleep cycle because her sleep cycle cares about the sun. (It throws off Jake's, a little, but his is more flexible than hers.)

A human appears out of nowhere, sitting at an empty table for two, very close by. He blinks, then perks up, straightening in his chair with a broad grin further extended by the nasty scars at the corners of his mouth.

He's wearing a pale green shirt, the fabric patterned with thin lines whose shape suggests ocean waves, and nondescript black dress pants over green-and-purple argyle socks. No shoes. His hair is long and curly and greenish; his face is, perhaps, a little familiar.

After a few seconds of cheerfully looking around, he spots Elspeth and Jacob and wiggles his fingers in a cheerful little wave that includes them both.

"Dreamed my way here," he says serenely. "I'm the only person I know who does it."
manofmyword: Grinning. (⑵ simply makes you stranger)

He grins.

"I think it's to keep me out of trouble."
manofmyword: Smirking. (⑷ coral is far more red)

"Sure it does."
manofmyword: Smirking, pushing hair out of face. (⑸ well hello beautifulll~)

"Whatever I feel like," he shrugs. "How 'bout you?"
manofmyword: Quasi-innocent? (⑽ i wanna drive)

"Ooh, how'd I guess," he says. "Nice to meetcha. Mm, let me see, let me see..."

He digs in his pockets and produces a playing card, which he holds up and then leans over to hand to her.

"Does it say why?" he inquires lightly, glancing away.
manofmyword: Conspiratorial or condescending. (⒁ they'rrre cheap)

He taps his fingers together in his lap.

"And what do you think of that?"
manofmyword: From the side, serious. (⑿ is it the scars?)

The Joker snorts.

"Oh, is that all," he says; the words are scornful but the tone is soft.
manofmyword: From behind, in the suit, holding a knife. (⑻ nothing in his pockets)

"She put me on the asteroid because I'm a mass murderer," he says casually. "That's not a big mystery. The mystery's why she leaves little warnings telling people not to talk to me. Not that I don't have a theory or two."

"Could be she's mad 'cause I fucked her boyfriend," he says. "But I don't think that's it. She is, but she's not usually that petty."
manofmyword: Grinning, eyes nearly closed. (⑶ now i see the funny side)

"Oh, she's not mad that I fucked him. She's mad about how."
