Donna just wanted a few hours of feeling normal, all the bad things that had been happening in her life, she just wanted a break. A few of her friends, if that’s what you can call them, convinced her a club was the best place. On arrival it seemed like it was going to be a fine night. However, Donna didn’t know who owned the club, or who was planning on showing up.
After an hour or so a man, a clown like man, entered. As he was walking through the crowd Donna stared, knowing exactly who the man was.
“Holy shit.” She whispered it, the silence of the room as they waited for him to take his place was deafening until he words broke it. Apparently, she was the only one in the place who didn’t know anything about the club.
♦ “Ahhh. Home again, home again, jiggity jig. Drinks on me, boys! We have a celebration that needs to get under way! Ehh ha ha ha!”
Or rather, it was that the pale man had said something along those lines to the brawny men around him. It was hard to tell what conversations could be carried on. The music within the dance hall was deafening, a form of gospel and swing-infused electronica filled the air. Bass drops and the serenade of grouped horns throughout the verses; ah, the rapture of it all. “The Fun House”, as it was lovingly called by its handler was awash in ecstasy and alcohol-fueled dancing and rabble-rousing. That VIP was eponymously known as The Joker, no alias or identity had been confirmed past that. He was The Clown Prince of Crime; and anyone who knew Gotham City knew that this club was deep within his territory. It appeared that Donna Troy was unfamiliar with Gotham, after all.
