Enjoying the Feeling of Freedom

[sweetcandygirl]

For the past couple of weeks or so, Harley Quinn has been exploring the vastness of the Nexus. She has not really returned to her door (and might have forgotten where she had left it). Instead, she has been enjoying the freedom of being able to go anywhere, and just living her life to the fullest. It is a nice break from reality... and perhaps the main reason why she has not tried to go back home.

And she has been surviving on her pure wits. It is nice to fend for herself.

Right now, she is leaned on a bench, watching people come and go. Inspiration hits and she gets an idea for a question. "Okay! You are stuck in the Nexus, and can only have three objects with you. What would you want to have?"

Does the question have to do the fact that she only has three objects on her person right now (besides her clothing)? Possibly...

"Do people count or does it have to just be things?"

A young man in his very early twenties looks up from this smartphone at the question being asked from where he had been standing underneath a large tree for shade so as to see the screen properly. And to get out of the sun. Summer is definitely not his preferred season.

Joshua isn't sure he's ever seen this woman around the Nexus, but there's something about her that feels vaguely familiar.

The young woman sitting at a Nexus terminal might as well be Harley's opposite. Her hair is brown, her clothes are plain and leaning on the conservative side. Still, she's drawn to the question, or perhaps the woman answering it. A tiny part of Adia wishes she were that brave to dress so provocatively.

"My PINpoint, for sure. It wouldn't get me out of the Nexus, but I could still send messages to my friends." She frowns thoughtfully. "A sleeping bag, so I'd have somewhere comfortable to rest... and a photo album from home."

Freddy knows Suicide Squad from John Ostrander, but that was before Harley’s time. And while he likes his Saturday Morning Cartoons, he never got to see her premier in Batman: The Animated Series, having died that same year, just a few months before Joker’s Favor first airs. It makes her entirely unknown to him.

He’s a fast-talker, and his hands move animatedly as he speaks: “A house, but if I can’t have a house, I’ll take a car since I don't really mind sleeping in a car, but I do mind sleeping on a bench somewhere. Second thing I'm tempted to say is cigarettes ‘cause addiction’s a bitch, but that’s dumb, so instead I’ll say a satchel filled with something shiny. That way I can buy cigarettes. And third thing’s”--comic books, definitely comic books--“going to probably have to be something similar to like what you’re packing there.”

He points toward the side of her hip, and the gun she’s got holstered. Freddy likes guns too, but less so after actually getting shot. Fuck the second amendment.
