[This is an incredibly embarrassing post to have to make, especially after the one he'd put out a few days earlier. Reading through those replies makes him want to curl up and hide from the world for people seeing what he'd been like straight out of the Army. The messages to his friends are a particular humiliation. But it is what it is and he has to deal with this now. Man up, Watson.]

I'd like to apologize to everyone for my attitude and behavior the last several days. My death price has ended and my memories have returned. I can't take back the things I said to any of you, but I'm really very sorry. I was in a bit of a bad place where I was set at.

For anyone who was asking me, I'm in the Entrance area with America, England, and Ginger.

I'm also sorry to report that the cause for Clint Barton's death was the Joker. He mortally wounded Clint, but I'm pretty sure Clint was able to escape the situation along with Harley Quinn. Clint was able to mortally wound the Joker, as well. I'm not sure where the Joker is right now, but please be on your absolute guard. He is well-armed and he'll have been healed up after his revival, even if he might still have severe MN Poisoning.


Action for Team Blonde
[Prior to sending out the message, John is rummaging around the new building they'd made it to for the night. He thinks he's getting the hang of this and he's relaxed a little more around his companions since they've not attacked him suddenly or stolen from him for several consecutive days.

He opens a cabinet in the kitchen and discovers a bottle of white wine, which is surprising, but not unwelcome when everything returns to him in a flash. It's like someone turning on the lights, full power when he's been completely in dark. It hurts.

John squeezes his eyes shut as the swirl of memories pours in, mixing, jumbling, resorting into the proper order and finally stopping when everything is settled. He's clutching his head, breathing hard. One memory in particular sticks out, though, the last one he'd had before dying...]

Fuck!

[Hope the rest of the house doesn't mind swearing.]

How's the MN Poisoning?

[harlequinofhate]

Super, thanks for asking!

[jumpthegun]

Mmhmm... Let me know if any new symptoms develop, of course. As one of the resident physicians, it's my job to keep track of these things.

[harlequinofhate]

As a resident physician you're a pill dispenser, that's all you lot are good for.

[jumpthegun]

Maybe where you're concerned. And even then, I don't reckon you'll have much luck. Don't think even Dr. Stein was likely to prescribe to you. What were you good for again, though? I'm pretty sure the answer's 'not much.' Not even entertainment or a laugh.

[harlequinofhate]

Oh medicine never worked on yours truly anyway. And I do science. I've been helping folks study the nanomachines. You're welcome, you freaking ingrate.

[jumpthegun]

Oh, right. Wanna point to anything you've actually accomplished with your study that's concrete and has helped anything?

[harlequinofhate]

Honey, I coulda saved this burg twice in plane sight and you would scoff.

[jumpthegun]

That's not really an answer to the question. Well, I s'pose it is, actually.

There comes a point, Brian, when all the intelligence and usefulness in the world isn't going to help when you're causing as much mayhem and suffering as anything else.

*Also stop making a big deal about a couple murders. Its been a long time since Joker's made any large-scale issues.*

[jumpthegun]

This coming from the bloke who attacked Clayton and kidnapped him. I think I'll decide who I'm willing to work with on my own.

Kill, cut, and destroy what?

[This isn't going anywhere and it's a moot point.]

You can work with the Joker. I won't be.
