Doors

[Locked to Ivy]
[Once she makes it to the greenhouse.]

I don't smell dogs, Ivy. Let me guess, it has something to do with a certain clown being back in town?

[Stephanie B.]
[Eddie's been veerrry careful around Stephanie since the failed birthday celebration. On Tuesday morning, Eddie's gone bright and early, but he's left her a green health juice in the fridge and a wildflower bouquet on the table with a note:]

Riddle me this: Should I visit Arkham to destroy my deactivated tech and check out new warden? y/n/vy?

[While normalcy has been restored to Gotham, clean-up is still occurring throughout the city. Police coordinating security, repairing damages done during the escapades of sirens, and corralling those that are having the biggest problems transitioning back into the real Gotham. Despite the immediate danger gone, it'll be days until everything is restored to perfection. Among the bats and birds flying through the night, there has been one notable absence: Batgirl, who has always had a hands-on approach during city disasters. But, she's been nowhere for days, and whispers start to fill the city of something bad happening to the blonde bat the citizens have grown to know (and dare they say love?).

There is a new face on the scene though. A woman in slick black kevlar and bulky utility belts everywhere and a purple shroud. Spoiler she goes by, and she's been seen a lot around the city the past week. On the night that the Bat, Red Hood, and Wonder Girl storm the New Arkham proverbial castle, Spoiler is seen downtown with the Riddler, who's gotten a new look of his own. People are starting to gossip about the new vigilante in town, and news outlets are starting to talk about the girl in purple and black. Curious about who was out there protecting Gotham now.]

[Public, minus Snow]

I'm looking for a talking pony.

[Public as The Joker]

Gee golly, no one told me that Arkham is offering crucifix massages now. I'm almost regretting not turning myself in.

[After waking all bruised and aching and nauseous, like the morning after prom and she wasn't sure where her clothes were. It took a few tries, waking, and the cops were waiting there. She could barely see them, eyes all puffy and some doctor saying she was a real lucky girl. The doctors went on about a knife used somewhere else, and she couldn't remember real clear, but she didn't remember a knife. She remembered one thing - Alexander Murphy. And she told them as much, all disjointed and the world keep going black and bright again. But there was the knife, and she wasn't sure how much they listened, though they said they listened real good. Once they were gone:]

[Text to Cal H]
Cal. They're saying a knife.

[Text to Graham R]
Graham?

[Locked to Hatter]
You still doing fine?

Always knew I hated Gotham.

[Diana P]
I'm going to the island.

[Tim D & Kara]
Getting out of town for a few days.

[Normalcy has once returned to Gotham City, or as normal as the city ever gets. In an official statement released by city officials, Jonathan Crane, also known as the Scarecrow, is once again in custody after an apparent attack on the city through a contaminated water supply. City officials assure the public that the problem has been taken care and the water is safe for consumption. Citizens who believe themselves to still be affected by the contaminated water are urged to seek medical assistance at Gotham General. New Arkham Asylum is now under the management of a temporary director, and Crane will remain in custody in an undisclosed location.

Unofficially, after this, Batman, Red Hood, and Wonder Girl intercept Huntress' attack upon Jonathan Crane. Crane was taken into custody by the group and delivered into the hands of the authorities to receive medical attention due to the wounds he received at Huntress' hands. As soon as his condition was stabilized, Crane was taken into custody and held at an undisclosed location. A temporary director has been assigned to oversee New Arkham Asylum, in the wake of Dr. Leland's death.]

[Written in the same color as her name.]

Welcome to you too, Passages.

Some time after this, without needing Lin to go through the door: [Locked to Mouse]

No, sister.

After this: [Locked to Lyra V]

My cousin would like to meet you.

How long have you known something was wrong?

The walls are closing in. I'm going out tonight. Don't burn the place down, I couldn't afford a babysitter.

[locked to adam w.]

Delilah keeps saying we should have a Disney-themed wedding after watching Frozen for the twelfth time.

[text to wren h.]

So. I ran into Adam.

[locked to max m.]

You're right. Not worrying just isn't me.

[locked to jack c.]

Hey. [...] Sorry about [...] everything. How're you feeling?

[locked to matt o.]

Has she gone quiet?

[Right after this. A note, scribbled in black pen on a scrap of (post-consumer, recycled) red paper, with a black print in the corner (smooch!), is stuck to the front door of the greenhouse. The handwriting is bubbly and girlish, all loops and i's dotted with hearts. A cute, lil sticker holds it in place.]

[Not suspicious at all. Nailed it.]

[Daniel is ferried to the hotel in a private vehicle, a black Mercedes that someone probably ordered for him, given his distraught state. He is extremely hungover (practically mandatory since he is not drunk) and wearing yesterday's clothes. He stumbles out of the back seat of the vehicle and heads into the Hotel lobby. He's already yelling.] LIN! LIN?! God dammit, where are you. LIN!

[Private to Harley Q.]

Oh, Harley? Would you mind giving little old me a ring when you get the chance? I know you're here, I read all about your shenanigans in the funny pages. [Number scrawled across in purple ink.]

[Locked to Maddie Kate R]
Hi? I should have checked in sooner after the zoo, but things went a little crazy in Gotham. How are you? How's Delilah? Gus keeps asking after her.

[Locked to Anaïs M]
If you forget what matters most, are you still you?
