I'm going to really carefully say welcome back from your hiatus, hunnymun! Arkham, you can go jump into lava.

//Aw, I wouldn't say I'm fully back dear, but I appreciate the feeling so thanks for having me here. I'll try and see if I can do anything with this jerk.

If we eventually throw him into lava you KNOW he's coming back, gosh dang it

[askmeforariddle]

Well I should find you a nice nickname. Like I don't know… Sugar? Honey? Babe? Dear? Darling? Oh no, wait I have better. Pumpkin pie. Yes, I love this. -Yellowscarecrow

‘Pumpkin pie’? Crane my dear, I understand that I might be irresistible for you, but please understand that I am not interested in your advances.

I mean really… Pumpkin pie? I’m sorry, but you are making it too obvious.

[yellowscarecrow]

Yellow saw his cigarette fly away. He didn’t like that. Arkham was still annoying as the usual. Him and his little riddles. Him and his fears. Delusions? Yellow got his yellow eyes.

“Whoua, I’m impressed.” His voice was purring. “Tell me, you’re quite good at nicknames. You know that it was my last one. Maybe it’s going to be your last time too. Like this. I will just make sure that you feel the pain, in each muscle of your body, each neuron of your precious brain. Your brain. The only thing you’re proud of. One day, I will cut your head to see your brain, keep it in a jar and study it. A beautiful brain in a jar. And I will do it once.”

[askmeforariddle]

Edward kept the unimpressed smile in his lips, looking down on the other man while still playing with his cane. "Isn't that cute? Big bad Crane thinks he can scare a man who's been beyond every single fear a human can experience. I'm sorry, but I still don't think you understand who you're talking to dear."

He turned his back to the Scarecrow, smiling over his shoulder at the other man. "Keep up with your little threats and boring games if it makes you feel good, dear. But know that you will not be the first to try to kill me and if you ever succeed, it won't be the first time I've ever came back from the dead to haunt someone... You still have plenty reasons to be careful."

Old man watched the other with a flat look, seeming unimpressed by Arkham. Inside he felt a small flash of anger of all things.

“I thought you wouldn’t be interested in that news Broadcast, but just make sure your camera’s are rolling, come the month of May…” Old man -not having his cane- put his hands behind his back. “I’m sure even you will do a double take…” He shrugged like that.

“Might as well, I’m not dying anytime soon.” He hoped anyways…

[askmeforariddle]

The man's smile got wider and a low, mocking laugh escaped his lips. "You're quite the amateur aren't you, dear? Spilling the beans so soon won't make me anymore interested. If anything, it will only show how desperate you are for my approval."

Arkham shakes his head, almost like a disappointed father would. "To think I almost respected you. Seems like I shouldn't have any expectations at all when it comes to the new flesh. Oh well- you can play with your toys as much as you want to, I'll keep an eye on you like I keep an eye on everyone else."

[askmeforariddle]

//why would you reblog other people's ongoing roleplays don't do that.

[yellowscarecrow]

“Yeah, it’s quite true.” Yellow smiled cruelly. he took a cigarette and lit it. “I just like giving nicknames. Some jokes can good around sometimes. Did you forget how to smile or to laugh, Arkham? Well, why not. Impress me. I’m sure you can be good at this, dear.”

[askmeforariddle]

"Oh but I am loving this just like you are, dear!" He kept the smile, swinging his cane to the rhythm of his words. "You're a joyful one Crane, living at the top of the world and believing your adorable delusions. Yes I do have the perfect nickname for you!"

The cane moved fast, swinging up just a few inches away from the other man's face, close enough to throw the cigarette away with the raw unexpected movement.

"Scum."

[oldmanriddler-archive-deactivat]

“I meant here. " He sighed through his nose. "oh how I hoped you would have stayed simply watching…"

[askmeforariddle]

"This is your lucking day then!" The man gestured towards the other with a wide grin. "You're not exactly relevant, old man. There's no reason to waste my time with you, so I'll just keep watching until you make anything worth of it or simply die already. The clock is ticking, you know."

[oldmanriddler-archive-deactivat]

Arkham’s back.

[askmeforariddle]

How odd... It's almost like you didn't know that I was always here.

Watching quietly.

For a moment there, I thought you were simply being ignorant, how silly of me!

[askmeforariddle]

[yellowscarecrow]

“It’s a joke Ed. Seriously, you think I’m going to call you Pumpkin pie. Please, Arkham, it’s good. Don’t be like this. You sound like Cutie Pie. You are the same both of you.” Yellow laughed.

[askmeforariddle]

"Is that so?" He smiles back, a hand over his chin as he watched the other criminal. "Every little joke has some truth in it they say, so you better be more careful with your words dear. But if you're allowed to play pranks and have some humor I'm sure you wouldn't mind a nickname for yourself either."

[horsemenhdfj]

Arkhamy and Yellow uwu.

[yellowscarecrow]

You did it again.

[Yep. You’re the best partner for him.]

Absolutely not.

[askmeforariddle]

I am sensing someone might be afraid of the fangirl's agenda-

And somebody else might not be too comfortable with this nicely done joke.

[horsemenhdfj]

I ship Yellow with Arkham! Ta da [Run away]

[askmeforariddle]

"Oh, you kids have such an amazing power of imagination..."

[horsemenhdfj]

Arkhamy in his new shirt…. Inspired by Eddie in Arkham Knight.

Did I make him sexy or something??

[askmeforariddle]

//This blog is officially an AU verse Riddler with the announcement of the new game, and it makes me very VERY glad. You guys have no idea how long I've been waiting for a new Rocksteady Arkham game. It is time.

//Now back to that Hiatus

[askmeforariddle]

I'm less and less convinced that I have anything to do in this account really. I love Eddie to bits, but it doesn't feel like I can do much more with the character at the moment. The people I'm used and comfortable roleplaying with are rarely around and I respect their decisions of course, but I don't find myself able to make interactions with others. I've received few asks and even so, I don't believe I can reply to them with drawings.

What I'm saying is that I might make a hiatus for indeterminate time here. Until then, I'll stay in my new accounts and blogs where things are working out better. I hope you guys keep having fun as you should. I might show up once in a while, but until I feel like I can keep this running, it won't be regular at all.

Take good care and keep being great.

[askmeforariddle]

How did you meet Puzzles? Didn't you call him doe-eyed or something?

"You’re confusing me with another completely different 'Ark' ham."

[apuzzlingnygma-deactivated20170]

I know, I’m a reprehensible man. The newspapers have said so several times. [Crawls up Arkham’s legs after it.] I’ll be sure to youtube it later and install a recording in it for you, but right now… [He shuffles up to give Arkham a chaste kiss.]

[askmeforariddle]

And haven't I told you that too? I'm sure I did at some point. [He holds the other man with his free hand] It was still a surprise, if that serves as some kind of consolation. [Arkham is quiet during the kiss, smiling against the other's lips and letting it last for a moment]

... I missed you as well.
