Pen wakes up at about four in the afternoon. It takes her a few seconds to remember why she's here, but then she remembers and starts looking for Cindy.

"Then I guess we'll just have to live with a little rain."

After weather comes news!

"...Wayne Enterprises was publicly embarrassed yesterday when unknown vandals disguised as window cleaners spray-painted a crooked smiley face on the front of Wayne Tower."

The Joker giggles.

"Paint sprays?" asks Pen.

[manofmyword]

"Spray paint does. It's fun," he says happily.

"...associated with the tragic events of June 2008, but there is no indication that the Joker is making a public return."

[campanas]

"That you!"

[manofmyword]

"Yep," he says. "That's part of what I was up to when I went out yesterday."

[campanas]

"You paint a wall. I draw a wall!" she adds conspiratorially.

[manofmyword]

"I saw!" he says. "Do you want some more things to draw with?"

[campanas]

"Yes."

[manofmyword]

"I'll get you some later," he promises.

[campanas]

"Yay! I draw wall because of bored," she adds. "You bored, paint wall?"

[manofmyword]

"Mm, not exactly. Remember I told you I might be making a friend?"

[campanas]

"Yeah?"

[manofmyword]

"Well, we haven't been sending each other letters exactly. We both know a lot of people, and we're kind of playing a game where we each try to figure out who around here knows the other one. All very secret 'n stuff. He got some people I know arrested last week, so this week I found somebody he knows who works in Wayne Tower and I had some guys paint the outside of the building like my makeup, with a little extra bit of smile right where that person's office is. So now my maybe-friend knows I've found that one, and it's his turn to do something."

[campanas]

"Ooh. What if he finds me? You know me!"

[manofmyword]

"I bet he won't," he says, "'cause you're particularly hidden. As hidden as I am, and it's been four years and nobody's found me yet."

[campanas]

"So if he do he get so many points."

[manofmyword]

"He sure would."

[campanas]

"How you win game?"

[manofmyword]

"Don't know yet. We're making it up as we go along. That's part of the fun."

[campanas]

Pen giggles. "Iiiif he win you make him waffle?" she suggests.

[manofmyword]

"I might!"

[campanas]

"If you win he make you waffle," Pen continues.

[manofmyword]

"I don't know if he's any good at waffles. He could probably find somebody to make me one, though."

[campanas]

"Cheating," giggles Pen.

[manofmyword]

"We-ell, I'd let him. Good waffles with cheating are better than bad waffles played straight."
