All fun and games, until somone loses a limb (Viper's Pit)

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley is coming to term with who she is as a person. And has accepted a lot of herself over the past few years in the Nexus. The biggest challenge was accepting the Joker's Toxin that still remained in her body, and how it could have any ill effect on her at any time. In a way, it was like even though Joker himself was dead... he still had that little bit of control over her.

And so Harley needed to find a way to embrace it, and not think of Joker whenever it got the best of her.

One of those ways was to allow herself to be violent. And that was the nice thing about the Viper's Pit. The fighting areas had many different set-ups, even ones where you didn't have to worry about the anti-violence field.

Harley was waiting by one of those fighting areas, blowing a bubble. A big sign near by... "Fight Harley Freaking Quinn. $10."

And way at the bottom, was the small print "All funds go to the Feed Harley Quinn Foundation"

When Amelia yielded, Harley steps back and lets herself drop to the ground. Because of the adrenaline still in her system, especially after letting herself be violent for no reason, it has a little side effect on her. The Joker Tokin in her body takes control, and she laughs to herself. Hopefully Amelia doesn't think Harley is laughing at her.

It might just be slightly unnerving as the laughter continues for a few moments. Amelia is not the only one who needs a few minutes.

Amelia can't hear the laughter for a few minutes while her ears are ringing. When it finally registers, she forces her eyes open against the headache and looks over at Harley with concern. She knows this is part of what Harley deals with because of the Joker Toxin, but this is quite the intense reaction. It takes her a minute to process what she's seeing, but eventually the rogue pushes herself to sit up and smiles at the other woman.

"That was incredibly fun," she muses with a soft laugh of her own. The movement hurts like hell, but she ignores it to keep her focus on Harley. "Think we can go again after my head's recovered in a few days? I want to try different weapons next time."

[sweetcandygirl]

The laughter only lasts a few moments, before Harley is able to compose herself. And she nods, standing to make sure that Amelia is not too injured. "It was fun."

"Thank you. I need this."

[rogueinladysclothing]

"I think I did too." Perhaps for a very different reason, but getting rid of restless energy in a somewhat productive way certainly helped make it feel all the better.

Touching her head briefly, she throws a curious look at Harley. "I think it was the corset that won the fight. It barely moved at all when my foot landed. I hadn't expected something like that when this all started."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Yah! You like it?" Harley runs her hands over where the corset protects her body. And flatters her curves.

Harley's excitement brings a smile to Amelia's face. "It's amazing. Where did you find something like that? I need one of those in my wardrobe."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Beezlebub made it for me. He has sort of embraced me, in the whole acts as a Guardian Angel type of thing."

[rogueinladysclothing]

"Beelzebub?" The name is familiar, but not enough for Amelia to immediately recognize it. "He's an armorer? Or at least a leatherworker? His work is very sturdy and beautiful."

[sweetcandygirl]

"He is sort of like the Angel of Battles. You met Lucifer right? Well Bee is sort of like a right-hand Angel. He actually has a tannery and forge set up by Lucifer's Villa."

[rogueinladysclothing]

"Ah, I see." That explains the familiarity of the name. Lucifer must have mentioned it at some point when they met. "That's quite an operation to undertake in the Nexus. But I wonder... what would someone like me need do to commission something? Dreams know some of my corsets could use a break from some of the fights I get into."

[sweetcandygirl]

"I can take you to him. And you could ask. I ain't sure what he will or won't commission."

[rogueinladysclothing]

Amelia smiles brightly. "I'm willing to ask and find out." She jumps to her feet, wobbling a few steps until she's able to steady herself. "...maybe not right now, though. For now, I think I could use some rest."

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley moves to support Amelia's weight slightly. "Let me at least take you to my apartment. It might be best to have someone watching over you, while you rest."

[rogueinladysclothing]

"I'd appreciate that, thank you. I'll buy us something delicious for a treat once I'm at least somewhat recovered." She smiles at Harley and then nudges them along. "Let's get going, and you can tell me all about any other fights you've won while you were set up here along the way."
