Doors

I spoke to Iris. She was not pleased to see me. She attempted suicide with pills, apparently. She did it at the Bellagio fountain, so I can only assume she wanted to be found. She's physically healthy now, at least. She's on suicide watch, and she won't be released until some time after she's removed from it.

And it's my fault, in case you were curious.

The announcement is made at midnight with the belief that it won't hit the papers well until morning. The Internet has other ideas, and within the first hour, images begin to circulate. The woman is laughing with eyes sparkling like goldmines, but that is nothing compared to the ring. Eight-teen karats and valued at five million, it is not even the real talking part of the story. Nobody saw the engagement coming, nobody even speculated considering the numerous pictures of the soon-to-be groom in the company of other women.. but the ring cements it. Harry Osborn is engaged to Lily Hollister, daughter of a local political candidate.

[As Hatter]

[His handwriting is a little hard to read, letters joined together like fairy lights.]

Interesting interesting. A journal that talks back. It's a shame it can't be punished for saying things it shouldn't. What to do, what to do.

[Sunday afternoon, a dedication ceremony occurs at Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services. A large donation by local Las Vegas resident, Ian Russell, is being celebrated as the Recovery Wing of the facility is renamed to the Ian Russell Recovery Wing with a brass plaque scheduled for installation Monday afternoon. Russell, 51, is stated as saying that he simply has an interest in helping those who need it most, and even though the donation is smaller than he would prefer, he hopes that it will help SNAMHS provide the best care possible to everyone who crosses its threshold.]

[Wren H]

Need an address. [No preamble]

[Over a week after the night at the hotel. Days after Max checks on her. She tries through the journals, even though she's never contacted him that way before.]

[After hearing about this, late Sunday afternoon. Dark, harsh lettering.]

Interest in helping those who need it my ass. Do people actually buy this bullshit?

[From Anon "X". Days after their last conversation. After her brief visit with Louis.]

You mentioned your pack. That night.

[On Sunday, the newly elected Mayor holds a press conference to inform the citizens of Gotham that the new prison, Arkham City, will be opening its doors on August 1st. Existing prisoners, who had been housed in neighboring boroughs for the time being, will be bused back for the grand opening of the prison. Arkham City, which will span from the old Solomon Wayne Courthouse to the old Ace Chemical Building, and which will sit atop abandoned Wonder City, will boast newly trained TYGER officers to keep order in the free-roaming prison.]

[Comm to Batman]
[After this. The batcom hisses and crackles for a second and then it's Eddie's voice. It's a little strained.]

Dark Knight. I'm going to need you to be patient with me. I have an important arrangement for you with an expiration date, but I can't- I'm having issues.

[Text to Stephanie B.]
[During his conversation with Batman.]

Can I come over?

[Locked to Thor.]

['Hello I'm not dead'?]

Surfs up.
