[ACTION; library]

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

[Enjoying a peaceful day at the library? Sorry, fellas, it's just been disrupted by some crazy woman in a strange, homemade book-themed costume.]

"BOW DOWN TO ME, THE BOOKWORM! SURRENDER ALL YOUR BOOKS TO ME, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!"

[Oh, no! Who will rescue them from this lunatic? Where is the brave hero--

Oh, there's Barnaby. Hard to tell behind the armor, but he seems rather displeased about all this. This is the second time he's had to deal with crazy nutcases.]

...the Bookworm? Really. Can't you get a better name?

"HAHAHA!! LAUGH WHILE YOU CAN, YOU...YOU...RABBIT! I AM THE BOOKWORM, AND YOU SHALL PAY!"

And better threats, at that. At least try to be original.

[And that's when she, yes, throws a book at him, which he dodges quickly before running straight at her. The fight, it seems, is on.]

[VIDEO, later]

[Oh, hey, look. It's Barnaby, and he's managed to subdue the Bookworm, who is currently handcuffed and snoring away on a table. He doesn't look too impressed, though at least she doesn't have a concussion.]

That's the second one I've fought this week. Does anyone know what's causing all this?

Yeah, we think we got an idea, but we don't have any proof. It don't mean any good even if we DID.

[rookierabbit]

I'm willing to listen.

You know that Joker guy? Weird creepy bastard we were talking about when we were talking Booster back into the league? We're thinking he's got a hand in this crap. It started not long after his little introduction after all.

[rookierabbit]

Anything more on this Joker? I only managed to learn that he was, apparently, a freakshow clown mass murderer.

There's a working theory. Depending on your definition of working.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Haven't got a hell of a lot more than you, gotta say. There's only two guys I know who know anything about the guy, and we're probably going off limited knowledge at best anyway.

[rookierabbit]

Let me guess: the Joker.

[rookierabbit]

[Thinking hard...]

I'll check and see if there's anything I can find on him. Try not to get hit by any more grandmothers in the meantime.

[Granted, he probably won't turn up anything, but he should at least try to make the effort.]

[canthandleacape]

Got it in one, Bunny. The tricky part is figuring out how he's doing it.

[rookierabbit]

Not you too.

I'll see if I can find anything on the matter. In the meantime, [gesturing towards the Bookworm] should I bring her to headquarters, or drop her off in jail?

[canthandleacape]

Hey, it suits you.

Go ahead and take her to jail, we can't do anything with her here.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Hey, I'll let you know that granny had a mean backhand!
