Jinx has posed:
"Well that's the thing. All the movies were based on some actual guy called Ash who actually fought demons." He motions a gun to his head and fires and uses his other hand to imitate brain matter exploding out the other side. He being Bruce Campbell. "And sure, we took some creative license. But that's what the fans want. So that's what the fans get."

Jinx was in the back of the car now. It was once a comfortable part of the car before Jinx and Harley upgraded it with weapons. The sheriff's office made them unload all the weapons so they're mere decoration now. But that means the back seat is undesirable.

The dodge charger has seen better days. Specifically all the days before the duo took ownership of it. But Bruce Campbell is in the front passengers seat. Somehow he's cocked a foot up on the dash and has angled himself to his adoring audience of two.

"And hey, thanks again for the ride. My old beast just didn't have it where it counted and this guy," he points thumbs to himself, "wasn't going to wait a week for the repairs. Vegas waits for no man, not even the King."

Jinx may not like sitting in the back but she does like Bruce Campbell. It's hard not to given his campy low budget cult classic movies. But also - damn - his jacket is so damn nice. There's an aura of cool around Bruce and it's not just his movie star cred. It's the jacket. The jacket wants to be worn - by her. She wants to wear the cool jacket.

"Hey Bruce..." Jinx has decided she's now on a first name basis with him, "Where'd you get that jacket?"

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Uh-Uh. Uh-Uh. Uh-Uh."

Harley has been the most diligent of listeners to Bruce's tales of conquest. I mean, he's so.FREAKING.COOL. Jinx can even notice it most likely, how those baby blue eyes seem almost heart-shaped at seeing one of her heroes in the flesh. Of course that means her attention to the road isn't, well ..., the best. Already a few scares on the way to LAS VEGAS, BABY.

"So ya nevah got to saw off youh hand and get an actual metal one? Because that would had been metal!" She exclaims, fully convinced that Bruce had actually lost his hand during the film. Because it's all fun and games until someone loses a hand!

Bruce goes to answer just before they hit some bump on the road. Or rather, they go OVER it, making the car veer uncontrollably for a second before Harley controls it, "Oh my God! Did anyone see what it was!" the look on the rearview mirror telling her anything so she just shrugs, "People just littering everywhere!"

Bruce just grins and leans back on his chair after the car is back under control, "Woah, babe. Already rockin' the car and we ain't even started yet." a click of a wink and then his attention goes to Jinx and at her question about the jacket. His gaze sharpens and his jaw looks all the more square, "Well, are you ready for a story...?" clearly it was time for the flashback story that every movie has.

Jinx has posed:
Bruce wiggles his fingers at Harley, "These puppies are all part of the complete Bruce Campbell package. It's not just my winning smile that's the money maker."

Jinx is contemplating as the car veers about wildly. Was that a person or an animal? either way - not great. "Harls get your mind out of your panties or we're gunna end up wearing another car." She smirks embarrassing her fellow Bounty Babe in front of one of her heroes.

"I don't mind where your mind is going," Bruce says with another wink. "So there I was just minding my business on set when this guy walks in with the coffee order. I say, nice jacket, and he gave me a double thumbs up. Coffee went everywhere. The executive producers were losing their minds."

"But this guy. He didn't care. He was all 'Whatever, I don't even need this job'. And I thought. Wow. That's some moxy. I could use a guy like this. I said hey my man, you're hired." Bruce oozing cool as he tells the story. "... if you let me wear the jacket."

There's probably more to the story but he stops there and suggests, "So - how about a little menage a trois when we get to Vegas. My treat, since I am the whole dessert."

Jinx snaps out of it and blushes, "What the fuck!" Sure, Harley is the one driving the car but Harley also recently learnt just how capable Jinx has become of late. Ever since she got back from Themyscira. The car suddenly rolls to a stop. "Out!"

Apparently even being Bruce Campbell doesn't get you a free ticket in to a threesome with the bounty babes. Out of the car he pleads to them, "Oh come on I was just messing around. Unless you're in to that. We could enjoy some messing around. How about just you and me Quinn."

Jinx restarts the car. She expects an earful from Harley for leaving Bruce Cambpell by the side of the highway. And it only takes a few moments for her to suggest, "Oh fuck it. We should go back. I want his jacket."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Heeeeey..." Harley looks over her shoulder to the backseat where Jinx is sitting, giving her a *face* and a *look*. Neatly wrapped in a pouty little expression. Maybe she's trying to score poor Bruce! But a grumble or three later and she is looking ahead to the road again, muttering about how it's now her fault that people litter the roads.

The story is going fine, even if there's really .., not a lot to it yet. What was Harley expecting though? But then she is stopped from asking her very valid questions when Bruce just suggests some menage-a-trois and Jinx goes all ballistic kicking the guy out of the car!

"Wait, what you doin'!" she complains to Jinx when the other half of the Bounty Babes kicks the guy out, "Thought you'd be all wantin' some rest and relaxation after her desert adventure. And what bettah to do it with Brucey boy, eh?" another look over her shoulder to wink at Jinx. But then again she isn't too pissy that they left the guy behind. At least until Jinx suggests they go back.

"Mmmm, ya noticed how focused you awhe with his jacket evah since we met him?" Sharp eyes on the Harley! But she stops the car, turns it around and drives it back to where Bruce is.

"I knew you gals would miss the Bruce." A couple of thumbs pointed towards him and he walks back to enter the car.

Jinx has posed:
Jinx frowns, "Hey we went through a whole thing in the desert. I'm trying to find myself - figure out what kind of person I'm going to be now that I'm not a villain. The last thing I need is a egomaniac actor from some B grade movies in my bed."

She points a finger back and forth between the two of them, "And us. Wow. That'd be a disaster. You do every stupid thing that comes in to my head and I get a lot of stupid ideas Harley." She folds her arms and pouts quietly as they head back to Bruce.

That is until Bruce opens his big trap again. Jinx gets out of the car. "Sorry Bruce. I just came back for the jacket."

"Ooooh no." He tugs on the lapels of his very cool jacket. "This baby stays with the King."

Jinx narrows her eyes, "I'm not asking ya tosser."

Bruce looks slightly concerned, then turns and begins to run. Jinx gives chase and with a flick of her magic trips him up. She jumps on top of him and there's a few tussled rolls in the dusty side of the highway until Jinx rises back up triumphantly with the Jacket.

She puts it on and tugs the lapels feeling very cool all of a sudden. Bruce begs, "You can't jump a man and takes his jacket, that just ain't right."

Jinx sighs and then offers him a hand back up. As he reaches for it she pulls the hand back and slides it through her hair, "Too slow daddio." She finger guns him and gets back in to the car. "Let's roll Bounty Babe."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Well, maaaaybe you should do some stupid thing that comes to my head from time to time too.." A wink back at Jinx before she laughs and parks the car next to the King himself. She snickers at what he says, "He's so cute, referring to himself in the third person.." I mean, only a few select people can pull it off!

"You may wanna do what she tells you to!" She screams out the window and Bruce is running off already in the distance, "Wait, you sayin' you ain't a villain and you stealing Bruce's coolness?!" she looks aghast at Jinx.

And then she just pulls a cool move on BRUCE CAMPBELL?!

"Oh no, what have we done..."

Dun duuun duuuuuuuuuun!
