Harley Quinn has posed:
> ... you are my only hope.

That had been the last of a torrent of messages sent by Harley in the last hour or so. Something about bombs in the head? A squad of suiciders? Didi knowing her secrets? So much stuff! And all delivered in the chaotic manner that only a mind like Harley could express.

Eventually though there's a knock on the door. Followed by the said door opening up and there's a Harley by the door. And looking o-so-miserable. Even those pigtails look depressed in that angled-down manner of theirs. "Jinx! Oooh, you got to help me!" she strides into the room.

"She found out! And I really wish she hadn't, what am I gonna do now? I could always run to ...." she pauses to look at Jinx.

"Tell me a good non-extraditable country to go through wheah I can live cheap!"

Jinx has posed:
Ding.. ding.. ding.. so many messages coming in. It's all gibberish. Jinx is trying to deal with her own shit right now. She's trying to pull the weeds out of this new part of the field in so she can plant crops in Stardew Valley. This is important shit!

The phone is tucked under the pillow so it's quiet but buzzy. That's the best way. But then the buzzies stop. Peace. Of course - that only lasts until Harley is actually at her door. Wearing a shirt and underpants only she quickly yanks a blanket around her lower half. Eyes wide. She sets the steam deck to the side.

"Uh.. hey.. uh.." She opens her arms for a hug because that's what you do when people are not making sense and are liable to cry everywhere.

"What are you talking about Harls?" She gently pets her back. This is certainly a new level to their friendship.

Harley Quinn has posed:
The offer for a hug makes her pause. That's emotional advancement right there from the former international criminal known as Jinx! So of course that she goes for the huggies, getting all up close and personal with her friend. Because she thinks she cares! Instead of being worried with her stardew valley plantations! Some friends...

"Awww, so sweet!", She announces, "I will put this as a favorable review on your psych report..." Wait, Harley is doing a psych report on Jinx?! Not that she explains it further because then it's back to her OWN PROBLEMS.

"I am talking about my life bein ovah!" She is being a bit too melodramatic perhaps. "... and it's all Deadpool's fault.." wait, what does Deadpool have to do with anything? She lets out a sigh. ".. I am bein unfair. I am talking about Didi having found out my deepest secret. Well one of them! That I am part of a secretive government organization that uses ex-criminals to do missions around the globe..."

Harley is a secret agent?

Jinx has posed:
Jinx shoves Harley away on to her bed at that and scowls at her just a little. "You're not at all reformed. Also your therapy sucks!" She hmphs and glances over at her game set on pause, then back to Harley. May be if she gets through this interaction quickly she can get back to her game.

"Deadpool? the guy who won't ever shut up?" She doesn't actually know him - only by reputation. And when you've got -that- kinda reputation it isn't entirely a good thing.

An eyebrow quirks up as she watches Harley divulge one of her deepest secrets. "A what now.. a secretive government organization that uses ex-criminals to do missions around the globe. So. Uh. What is that like work release or something? why would Didi, whoever that is, give a crap?"

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Ooooh, don't you be angry with me too..." Being pushed back to the bed means she falls back on it, dramatically placing the back of her hand over her forehead. "I can't take another bestie being upset at me.." how many besties does Harley have?!

Harley is quick to sit up though, legs wrapped under her in a lotus position, nodding affirmatively about Deadpool's rep. "That's the one..." then she gesticulates with her arms, "Didi as in Diana Prince. The Wonder Woman!" her tone as if Jinx should know exactly who she means by calling her Didi. "Didi for her friends." then pointing a finger at Jinx. "Like you are Dixy D!" because of course Jinx is.

"And well, they sorta use less than honorable ways to get criminals to comply..." she lowers her tone, "Some I think get little bombs in their heads .., and if they try to run or mess shit up.." she makes an explosive gesture with her hands. "Diana didn't like it .., oh, I could see the disappointment in her eyes that I was involved in that. And now I dunno what to do!"

Jinx has posed:
Jinx deadpans. "The only Amazon I'm friends with is..." Her eyelashes flutter. Is she really finishing this sentence? how bizarre. "Donna." Yeah. Somehow that rings true to her. Weird. Things have gotten weird. Mortal enemies are friends now.. team mates are now mortal enemies. Everything upside down.

The explanation of a bomb in the head has Jinx's eyes widen. "Say what now?!" Because even as a villain she'd never have done that to someone. "So- bad guys. It's a team of bad guys run by bad guys doing bad guy things. You -are- still a villain!"

"Obviously you have to take down the corrupt organisation from the inside. Like me with H.I.V.E..." She nods her head and smiles. Problem solved, Harley will leave now and she can go back to Stardew Valley. Good friending complete.

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Well, I never actually saw it ..., it's mostly a rumor among the prisoners.." That Jinx actually calls her a villain has Harley looks hurt. DEEPLY hurt. She looks down at the bed and then back up, "I am not a villain no moouh! You of all people should know that and actually respect it!" she points a finger accusingly at Jinx. "I thought we weah friends.."

As Jinx then suggests they should take down the corrupt organization it has Harley mmmm thoughtfully, "Not suwah it's that simple ... though I guess.." she pauses, peering at the screen. "Why are you lookin' at the computer screen so often?" she's getting suspicious.

Jinx has posed:
"No no I mean. Yes, we are friends. You're just... accidentally being a villain by being part of a secret paramilitary government agenda that puts bombs in the heads of prisoners to make them work for them. Hell, I wouldn't put it past H.I.V.E. to do something like that."

Jinx patpats Harley on the sad looking head. "There there. Look it's probably not even real so, you know, just sneak in there and hack their computers and find out. Get all the dirt on their illegal operations and give it to SHIELD or something. Jobs done..."

Oh no. Busted. She pulls a pillow over the screen quickly to hide it, revealing her phone with 17 unread messages from Harley on it. "No reason. Let's just focus on you. Now, you might have to kill the head of the snake. Diana will probably frown at that unless you use a cool sword to do it."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Sort of like challenging the Wall to a duel...?" That has Harley thinking, nose slightly turned to the side as her expression scrunches up in thought, "... that's a little too much 18th century don't you think?" she looking up at Jinx again, "Not suwah about Didi being happy that I would go back to killin' though, no matter how villainous they may be ..."

Then there's a pillow changing places. And while it covers the compromising screen it shows that phone. With 17 unread messages! She reaches for it. "Oooh, what's your phone doin' heah and ...., holy crap you didn't read my messages!" baby blue eyes going wide.

"I am not even that important to you that you skip reading my shit... Woe is me!" melodrama again. "But maybe you are right, I should get dirt on them to take 'em down .., or something.." she isn't that convinced.

Jinx has posed:
"Hey Amazons kill bad guys all the time. Er... Wall... has it coming. Or, like, turn her in to SHIELD instead who cares. Anyone who allegedly puts bombs in peoples heads is certified evil." Jinx's eyes widen too as Harley grabs her phone.

Scrambling forward she tries to snatch it back but.. too late. "Private! That's private. Inadmissible in a court of law." She snatches it back and tucks it down between her thighs safely out of reach. "You're important enough to be able to send me messages at all. That's huge to me."

She twist her lips and shrugs. "For full irony if it's true, then you strap her to the machine and put a bomb in her head and then blow it up. No one would know. Actually that's not what irony means. What would the word be. Vengeance? Justice? Eh. I'm not good enough at English to get this shit right."

"Now pick yourself up bucko and get out there and take down that evil organisation. I believe in you. Deadpool believes in you. Didi believes in you. We ALL believe in you..." She looks to the door. So close. Was that motivational enough?

Harley Quinn has posed:
"I could do that .., and make her confess to all the wrongdoing!" Harley grins a bit mischievously, suddenly sprouting up to her feet. Maybe she is just about to leave Jinx in peace to go do just that! She even takes a step towards the door but then ...

Nope!

She spins around, "Oh, thanks so much for this Jinxie! You are a good friend.." she even goes and gives her a tight hug..

And then just rips the pillow from the computer screen. "Now, time for me to help you with this Stardew valley crap. You are doing this all wrong.." oh, snap. She cracks her knuckles. "Let the stardew valley pro help you out.." a wink..

Clearly she is going nowhere else tonight! Just Jinx's luck.
