what if i don’t know the truth?

       “ do you not know it or are you ignoring it? ”   there are moments harvey has felt the truth in the phrase ignorance is bliss. and yet, he does not believe that crane chooses the route of the unknown. harvey raises his coffee mug to his lips and takes a sip of the steaming liquid, grateful for the plastic lid around the fear monger. the disgraced lawyer won’t tell him how he can find out, to just ask. better jonathan find out on his own.

@cranedre asked: the concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.

social convention dictates, as it always does, a certain laying down of arms: the gala stretches out in front of him, jonathan at his side (a quick glance at dick, who is busy talking to a bottle blonde, no doubt telling her some sort of outrageous story -- but he was otherwise safe, uninjured, & unkidnapped). with a tilt of his head, refusing to let worry spark in his eyes, he stares down jonathan crane. bruce is never one to cause a scene, especially without the safety of his mask: he looks politely interested to anyone who might peer into their strange little conversation.   ‘‘what a way to start talking to someone,’’   bruce says, breezily, ignoring the strain at the corner of his eyes. a plan might be in motion already. this would be a handy distraction -- & a horrific place to strike, with so many people cooped up together, with bruce forced to wear the thin veneer of niceties.

‘‘is that what you think progress is? just a concept? i’m sure this charity would disagree with you...’’   he says, pleasantly enough, before gesturing around the gala.   ‘‘you are aware, aren’t you, of what charity you’ve stumbled into? i’d love to educate you on it, otherwise: it’s a... passion project of mine.’’

that is absolutely out of the question.

" you are absolutely boring -- ”  and she’s doing it anyways,  diving for the fear toxin.  it doesn’t exactly go to plan,  and she ends up sprawled on the ground in front of him,  several feet short of her target.  damnit.  she should know better than to try anything fancy with a sprained ankle.  

“ okay,  let’s be reasonable here.  why can’t i have it?  i promise to use it for evil, and all that shit. i definitely am not going to bring this to mr. j . . . or ivy. ” no promises about the bat,  though.

@cranedre asked: ❛ don’t tell me you’re afraid of the dark. ❜

HALLOWEEN MEME.   closed

          “Do I look --” he cuts himself short at the realization that there’s no way for Crane to see his expression in this darkness. He shakes his head in another automated response that also can’t be seen, thanks to this sudden total blackout.

          “That is, no, I ain’t afraid. I just prefer to be able to see where I’m goin’. But, if you call wanting to avoid gettin’ my ankles snapped in two “afraid”, then, yeah, sure, I’m terrified. So why don’tcha lead the way, doc?” This would be followed by some mild prodding, but there’s no way Two-face is going to touch the Scarecrow.
