The Riddler Speaks - Joker Time 02 (Patreon)

JOKER: Hello, my beloved people of Gotham! Joker here. Unfortunately, Edward's still a little under the weather, so I'm going to be doing the talking, today. Now, ever since I've usurped Eddie's little radio show, we've been getting lots of messages inquiring after Eddie's health - so we're going to play a little game. It's called: "Every Show of Concern for Eddie Gets Him a Whack with the Crowbar". Who wants to play? I know I do!

(Inaudible protestations from EDWARD)

JOKER: Anonymous asks: Please Riddler, if you're still alive, send us a message! We need to know you're alright so that we don't riot the streets of Gotham looking for the Joker! Though I do expect if he could find you, he'd find me before it came to that. Please Riddler, we need you to speak once again. Oh, I think that gets a hit with the crowbar. Huurgh!

(JOKER swings and strikes EDWARD with the crowbar; EDWARD reacts with pain, ongoing in the background)

JOKER: Hmm... Next? Joker, how could you and why? Because I wanted to!

(JOKER swings and hits EDWARD again; EDWARD reacts with pain once again)

JOKER: Anonymous asks: I loathe you, Joker. We all loathe you for hurting Eddie. That looks like concern, to me. Hnngh!

(Third verse, same as the first)

JOKER: Joker, why did you do this? 

(Repeats the same for the fourth time)

JOKER: Riddler, if you're still there, you know how they found you? If so, how did they find you? 

(Repeats the same for the fifth time)

JOKER: Mr. Nygma - oh, obviously this person doesn't know what happened Anonymous: where is Query and Echo when you need them? Seriously, girls, save him! More concern!

(Repeats for the sixth time)

JOKER: What happened to the Riddler? 

(Repeats for the seventh time)

JOKER: And - oh. Out of messages. Well, that was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Eight hits with the crowbar! Keep it up, friends. I'm having too much fun! 

(Inaudible crying by EDWARD as JOKER breaks into maniacal laughter)
