[LOCKED to WARDEN FILTER]

[He's thumbing through papers, frowning a little.]

Who's the best fighter on board?


[LOCKED to HARVEY DENT]

Hey. Guess we're hitched to the same wagon now.

[THIS IS WHY SHE LOVES MAKING PEOPLE THINGS. THIS IS ALSO WHY SHE LOVES MOTORCYCLE BOY.]

I'll ask but I've got a feeling he's not staying a lot longer. If I'm lucky he'll come back to have a go at wardening. I've learned a lot from him.

[velocette]

If he does, I'll tell him I need some help. ...I should tell this to let a few people know if something goes wrong, huh. Since people come and go so much.

[Kon is a given, with how powerful he is. He likes Cass but she may or may not be staying--he can't tell. Iris, naturally. Dean.]

Do I have to tell the people I pick?

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

Best if you do. They'll show up quicker if they know what's what, won't they?

We can't any of us do a good job without our backups, I've found.

[warden filter/text]

[velocette]

Yeah. Guess they're in for a surprise...I don't think I know any of them.

[If he does he's forgotten.]

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

No one lasts here for long without learning to cope with the odd surprise, eh? Anyway, we're all on the same team.

[warden filter/text]

[velocette]

Are we really? Seems there's a lot of divided goals out there.

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

That's just people being people. They've got a habit of getting in their own way. Bottom line, we're all here to get people to free themselves.

[warden filter/text]

[velocette]

How'd you get yours to?

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

Loved him.

...Not sure that'll work with yours.

[warden filter/text]

[velocette]

Yeah it's kind of out of the question. We talked before we were paired though, he's interesting. Maybe he'll have fun.

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

He's not very lovable, that's for sure. You'll have fun at least; I can't say I much care if he does.

[velocette]

Half of him isn't so bad. The other half's a riot, reminds me of this kid I knew... [The Boy's key to handling Two-Face: finding him hilarious.]

I didn't know you knew him?

[warden filter/text]

[routemistress]

Noooot really know him, but I'm close with people from his world. One he's attacked for the hell of it, one he was really unforgivably rude to. It's made me a bit unimpressed with him.

[warden filter/text]

[velocette]

What'd he say to your friend?

[Because attacking, yeah, he's seen that. He expects it'll happen again and he'll deal with it. But rudeness seems sort of mild for them, and he wonders if it was Harvey, and not Two-Face.]

Father's Day. Making vicious little digs about her dad that she loves - like "he's not your real dad" because she's adopted.

The fighting, I didn't have a problem with that: that was a level playing field. But I wanted to drop him over the side for what he said to Babs.

[velocette]

Did he flip a coin?

[private/text]

[routemistress]

I'll flip his coin where the

...I don't remember noticing, I'm sorry. I was really extremely annoyed.

[private/text]

[velocette]

I can't say he won't do it again. But he gets what consequences are, so feel free to dish 'em out.

[private/text]

[routemistress]

I'll pass, I think. Not sure I trust myself not to get disproportionate.

[private/text]

[velocette]

[Trust Iris to be fair. It's sort of a nice feeling, he decides.]

Let me know if he does it again, then. Don't know if I'll step in but I want to figure out what Harvey does and what Two-Face does.

[private/text]

[routemistress]

I certainly shall. Thank you, darling.
