The Kidder/¿Query? Sessions, Vol. 1
*stands outside eddie's cell, cautiously lookin
round....sees no one, so she opens the door*
Eddie! my luv! hey, ya awake, tiger? *sniggers and thinks
ta herself 'only one way ta find out!'*
*with a growl and a leap, she jumps onta his bed......*
...then again, Pam really never will like me... and i've
been rather cooling on her as late, m'sef... there's
always Harl, of course... but she luvs Joker... and he
luvs her... shu. right. y'know what, he may luv her in
his own way, but he never treats her right... hmmm...
*sigh* still, no real chance there. well, maybe i should
see bout inventin that dimensional gateway deal...
explore some other realities...
*glances at watch* what month is this, anyway?
*finds the bed is empty*
heeeeeeeeeeey! where is he?!
*looks round and sees his towel and robe are
gone.....gets a really evil grin on her face and runs
outta the cell in search of eddie*
*flops down on his bed in his cell and sighs* well,
nobuddy ever sed ya gotta fall in luv in life... i've
been happy enuff i guess... still... might be nice...
just to have somebuddy to talk to, to share things with
i'd never share with anyone else... someone just to be
with, doin nuthin in particular... someone to hold, to
kiss... *sigh*
ah well. God, what's with my head? i should break outta
here... i think Bart must be tryin some new psycho thing
with me... maybe i should just go kill somebuddy on the
outside, clear my head...
*runs passed kidd's cell and sees him layin on the
bed......pokes her head in*
"hey, ya seen eddie go by this way?!" she asks, rather
breathless frum runnin.
*tan skids to a stop next ta her.....she pets tan as she
waits fer kidd ta answer her. he seems lost in his own
lil world*
um... hmmm... lemme think... um... what time is it? what
day is it? um... i dunno... i ferget how to count
anyway... sorry...
*sighs and sits next ta him....tan comes in as well and
lays at Q's feet*
wot's up, kidd?
a touch of melancholy, Q... nuthin important. i should
just break out the st. john's wort, eh? *g* er maybe
sumpin a little stronger... perhaps stage a raid on the
prescription locker... just basically lookin at my life,
tryin ta see if there's anything missing. y'know me,
normally i'm happier than anyone in this joint... can't
keep it up all the time tho.
*tan takes up his usual guard position as Q speaks*
aw, kidd. well, breakin out would be a good thing ta do.
tho, i kinda think the prescript thing may be a lil
funner. *sighs* ah well.....wotever ya wanna do. just ta
cheer yerself up, ya know?
yeah... *sigh* it's tough bein stuck halfway between sane
and insane. seriously. it can be better than fully either
way, but it can also be far worse than fully either way.
you folks who're closer to full insanity than me, you
can't really understand i think. you wanna like kill
somebuddy on a whim, just do it. me, i gotta think bout
it, struggle, and usually decide not to do. it really
hurts. and there ain't much way of relievin such
tensions.
hey, i only kill if i hafta. i can THINK a killin on a
whim, but i rarely do it, ya know. sheesh! hmph! thot i
knew ya. thot ya knew me! boy wuz i ever wrong!
*tan's tail starts ta twitch in aggrivation as Q's tone
of voice changes*
well, i dunno. i don't necessarily mean you specifically.
i just mean... well, mosta the ppl around here... y'know?
oh.......well.........that's ok then.
*tan's tail stops twitching....he stretches and unsheaths
his claws, cleanin each one carefully*
*glances at Tan* y'know, i been thinkin a gettin m'sef a
pet... i dunno what. sumpin nice and loyal, intelligent,
playful... probly not a tiger, course... *g* wouldn't
wanna infringe on yer trademark...
ah well.....tan's a great cat. he's not a pet tho. he's
my bestest friend. *looks at tan curiously* that's
funny.....he only does that when eddie and i are tagether
and he knows.......*gulp*
*looks at Tan curiously, wonderin what she means*
well... anyway, yeah, i was gonna say, a friend, too...
and then my mind wandered to something else i've been
thinking of, of late... and i just sort of... y'know...
trailed off...
*keeps an eye on tan as she's half listenin ta kidd....*
uh huh....that's terrific....Tan, luv, c'mere. *pats her
leg....tan comes over......and ta her shock, after rubbin
up against her hands, rubs up against kidd*
*cautiously pats Tan's head* uh... hi there, Tan,
buddy...
*looks at Q* hey, this is odd... i've tried to make
friends with him b'fore y'know... i was startin ta think
the best i'd ever get outta him was... well, a sort of
cold tolerance, wherein he doesn't consider me a threat
or whatever, and doesn't wanna hurt me...
yeah,i wuzn't thinkin he'd take such a likin ta ya. i
mean, he likes eddie and all, but still....eddie pisses
me off and he's got tan ta deal with.
*scratches tan behind the ears.....tan nuzzles
her......then butts her against kidd...she blushes*
oooh....ah......sorry bout that. you ok?
um... yeah... *narrows his eyes at Tan and scrutinizes
him, thinking, wondering...*
yeah, um, well, *he sez, snapping bak to reality,* um, i
do think i'll actually get outta Arkham fer a bit. um...
*g* i think i left a burner on over at my base of
operations... i should go check on that... and there's a
project i've been meanin ta get to, so i'll see ya round,
Q...
and he gets up off his bed and leaves his cell...
um......bye kidd.......
*sighs* c'mon tan. let's go find eddie.
*strolls off down the hall bak ta his cell ta see if he
mighta returned.....*
