Harley.

HARLEY.

3/???????

[riddleman]

I said brb.

Why did I say brb? I actually spelled it out. Why?

4/???????

[riddleman]

I ASKED WHY! WHY WOULD I ASK WHY? HOW DUMB AM I?

5/???????

[riddleman]

Although it is a fair question. Given this, for example.

6/???????

[riddleman]

How's the volcano dating going, by the way? Sorry, forgot to ask.

On behalf of my mental and potentially emotional breakdown.

7/???????

[riddleman]

OSWALD IS IN LOVE WITH ME!!!

I am not equipped to handle that. Evidently.

I literally ran off.

AFTER SAYING BRB. Like a dumbass!

8/???????

[riddleman]

What do I do now?

Given the way this has gone so far, texting him a crisp 'c u l8er' comes to mind.

DONE

[riddleman]

Open to feedback now.

Also, how far away is your volcano and do you have a free couch?

[itistolaugh]

you're stupid

[riddleman]

That's been established. Emotions are not my strength, I've told you that.

[itistolaugh]

like super dumb
the dumbest
you idiot

[riddleman]

Please. There are plenty of other idiots around.

I didn't want to say the wrong thing!

[itistolaugh]

you mean like
for example
"brb" and then running away to text me?
which he is also doing btw

[riddleman]

I doubt he ran away, he's not much of a runner. Also, I am on the stoop of our building, I'd see him come out.

Harley. Isn't it better to say nothing when you have nothing good to say?

[itistolaugh]

FIRST OF ALL
i can't believe you didn't see this coming. literally everyone else saw this coming.
turn in your genius card asap
shame on you

SECOND now that you've had time to process, how do you feel about it?

[riddleman]

As I've told you, emotions are not my area. Especially as they pertain to me. Besides, Oswald and I agreed early on that to men like him and me, love is a burden, not a strength.

It's hard to say. I have only ever been in love once and that did not end well. Either way, this would isn't anything like I'd have imagined.

[itistolaugh]

BURDEN well i never. ok thats a bullshit idea throw that right in the garbage

what if i told you i love you? do you think that you would feel different than hearing it from oz?

[riddleman]

Well. The word choice of 'I love you' versus 'I'm in love with you' is worth noting.

Besides, I'd be more inclined that you are taking the milk. Oswald truly made himself vulnerable. I don't wish to ever hurt him.

[itistolaugh]

ok fine if i said i'm IN love with you.

what does taking the milk even MEAN
thats not a thing
people dont say that

anyway do you get it now???

[riddleman]

It's the Gotham version of taking the mick. A lot of our sayings are dairy based. It's fascinating, actually, etymologically.

When I was in love with Miss Kringle, I admired her for a long time. I wanted her to be happy. It took me a long time to start wooing her and longer to find the courage to ask her out. Soon after, I killed her.

I'm not an expert on the subject of love. I don't know if I'm even actually capable of feeling it. I'm equally uncertain whether Oswald is. What I know is that I don't want to hurt him. But inaction won't avoid that either.

1/2

[itistolaugh]

that is not a gotham version we do not have DAIRY SLANG what the HELL

[itistolaugh]

ok back on point

btw if someone tells you they feel a way dont wonder if they are capable of actually feeling it. thats terrible.

so you know that ozzie is important to you but now you dont know how to adjust for a new context. consider- does it bother you more that he is in love with you, or that you think being in love (with you especially)
puts him at risk?

[riddleman]

I tend to question everything. There is a selfless element to love that... Whatever. I suppose you are right.

I am certain that being in love makes him vulnerable. Being in love with me probably more so. I care about Oswald's well-being. I'd do anything for him.

[itistolaugh]

would you suck his dick
