"Harley here! Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Or I won't.

Don't be boring."

what is that
what are you doing

are you trying to flirt

[restingstitchface]

[To scare and flirt, or not to. Tough question.]

You must be joking.

[ Knowing what he does about Harley and jokes? ;* ;* ;* ]

[itistolaugh]

im not
but i cant tell if you are

[restingstitchface]

You can't tell.

"I know you, Scarecrow."

Isn't that what you said?

[itistolaugh]

okay

lets do it

[restingstitchface]

Well, it could be a useful from a scientific perspective...

Good. I'll expect your presence at eight.

[And he sends an address.]

[itistolaugh]

Oh he actually called her bluff.

Oh now she has a date with Crane.

...fuuuuuuuck. ]

[ She thought she was banned from Hell, but here she is again. ]

08.22.2016 -- voicemail.

[slightlyoffchilt]

This is Doctor Chilton. [A beat.] I have a proposition for you.

text;

[itistolaugh]

if this is about a "date" for a "friend" im not interested

[ Why does this keep happening, and doesn't anybody here know about prostitutes? They are not hard to find. ]

text;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Nothing of the sort, actually, I caught word that your psychiatric license has been reinstated. I think a congratulations is in order, Doctor Quinzel -- and what better way to congratulate than offer a job?

voice;

[itistolaugh]

[ Oh? Oh. Well, that deserves a call back. ]

Hello. Go on.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're fond of changing mediums, aren't you?

[A bristling criticism that didn't stick; Chilton wasn't about to dwell on petty things.]

I am planning to open a psychiatric facility in Maurtia Falls -- one that caters specifically to imPorts and the criminally inclined, so not precisely a hospital in the more medical sense. Not like the one in Heropa. Something more... Punitive.

And I understand you have experience in treating psychotic disorders?

[itistolaugh]

[ She considers swapping to video, but this is good for now. Although she makes a mental note to swap mediums as often as possible with him in the future. ]

An asylum? How oldschool.

[ She pauses, considering how much to confess. It's been a long time since she had a job interview and it's hard to remember how much of it is like a police interrogation. Might as well keep it vague, just for the sake of being contrary. ]

Oh, I have loads of experience. I am from Gotham, after all. It's kind of our thing.

I specialized in the criminally insane, when I still practiced.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not -- [Hastily:] We don't really say asylum anymore.

[But it was all semantics, quite honestly, because the right semantics could get you some state funding. His Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane had only incarcerated inpatients, but it was still a state hospital.]

We have that in common. Specialties. [Which was helpful, given that Chilton always had ambitions in that regard.] How hands-on were your methods? I wouldn't want to subject you to anything uncomfortable.

[itistolaugh]

I'm not the press or a donor, so let's call a spade a spade. Or a loony bin a loony bin.

[ She bites the inside of her cheek. Hands-on, good lord. What sort of ship is he planning to run? Or does he not realize how sinister that sounds? Maybe he's one of those guys who's naturally inclined to supervillain talk. She wonders if he cackles, too. ]

I would say, um. Very. Yeah. Extremely hands-on.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Excellent. [Perhaps he's even tenting his fingers, too, as he says that word. Excellent.] I think you would make a superb addition, Doctor Quinzel. I will, of course, inform Ambassador Baelish immediately --

[A beat.]

You and the Ambassador are on good terms, aren't you?

[With Baelish accruing the money to fund this thing, he practically had Chilton by the balls.]

[itistolaugh]

Yay!

[ There's some muted shuffling noise as she does a victory dance. ]

I-- guess? We aren't on, like, any terms. He sent a gift basket as a campaign thing, but that's it. I don't even know the guy.

Oh! Aaaand I want to stay on at the women's shelter, like, at least one day a week. Two? One or two, whatever.

When is this thing opening anyway?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm sure we can accommodate that.

[Chilton had no complaints either which way with her request, a weekday without Harley might allow for his more personal experiments to take root.]

Construction is still underway, but the goal is early October at the latest for the main heart of the building. At least then we can operate, even if the full facility takes longer in construction.

[And it would.]

I will be looking into imPort security detail, as well.

[itistolaugh]

[ Oh Chilly, you naughty naughty boy. ]

Yeah, you'll want it open before Halloween for sure.

[ Not that she knows anything, but come on. A holiday obsessed villain and a horror obsessed villain? It should even need to be said. ]

Are you looking for recommendations or asking if I'm cool with tazing people?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I also had the deadline of Halloween in mind.

[Let's face it: she's not wrong.]

But recommendations. While I do not doubt your prowess with a taser, I'm rather hoping you'll be focusing on other duties.

[itistolaugh]

Hff, I dunno, I don't know a lot of that type. There's, uh. Okay, there's a guy named Adachi. Used to be a cop, looking for a new job. Aaaand, ummm, Daryl Dixon maybe? Volunteers at the shelter sometimes. We mostly keep him around to look intimidating.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'll look into those men. [Meaning that Chilton had nothing personally against them, so they were probably excellent choices. Already Harley was proving her worth! Best employee!] I hope our orderlies wouldn't get their hands too dirty... But just in case. I do like them prepared.
