Wellll we fought and then he went to prison which was great but now he's out and

tapping on my window?

[Jaime sends over an image of his window, which has a dandy little blue heart drawn on it in makeup.]

like RIGHT NOW?

do you want me to come punch the guy? I can be there in 90 seconds

No like a few minutes ago. He was gone by the time I got there. If he needed face punching I'd have that under control I just felt like

I should tell someone? I guess? I don't think he wants to kill me and even if he did I don't think he could actually pull it off it's just

[IT'S SO CREEPY, SOMEONE TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.]

okay this is not my area of expertise just fyi

I mean I GUESS it's not illegal to be creepy

wait, is it?

Is it anyone's area of expertise?

It's not illegal to be creepy or else he'd have a life sentence. Seriously. But this is also the place where you can kill a bunch of guys and haha four months later you're back out again like that's safe

maybe Batman's? isn't everyone in Gotham maxed out on creepy?

four MONTHS? you're kidding me. people do more than that for tax fraud!

so what's his problem with YOU?

Yep. Apparently when people complain about imports being treated better they're really not joking

I'm not sure if I'd say he has a problem with me.

[A HEART, BOOSTER.]

He likes strong people. Which kind of coincides with him kind of being a pedophile? It's this whole thing with these kids from his world

[IT JUST GETS BETTER]

wait what

back up

now kids are involved? how bad does this get? because this isn't the kind of thing a guy can just KNOW about

You think that if he could be charged with something I'd be telling you about it instead of the cops? I've kept an eye on things. Nothing's happened. I just know

okay okay okay fine

so tell me about this creep

Killer clown. Kills people for fun, but likes to hold off on stronger people for later I guess. He got put away for a few months for it so he's going to be more careful now

Super strong and fast and he's got some sort of stretchy powers going on. I've already told KF to warn the kids on his team to stay away from him

[EXCEPT JAIME'S CLEARLY NOT]

I'll have Scarab send over an image

[Enjoy.]

WHAT IS IT WITH CLOWNS???

That's your take away from this?

I mean yes there's a disproportionate amount of evil clowns but

seriously?

not my ONLY takeaway

I'm just saying I don't think I've ever met a clown that wasn't off the charts creepy

so okay superpowered clown with a thing about kids. kids and murder. kids and murder and drawing hearts on your window.

I might start camping on your roof with a shotgun

I was serious about not thinking he's going to try anything just yet you know. It's just creepy

Not that I don't appreciate the shotgun backup

yeah see it's the "yet" that worries me

I'll always be your shotgun backup even if the shotgun is metaphorical

No it's

He has this thing about wanting people to get stronger before wanting to mess them up. He's not going to want to come and kill me in my sleep. He's going to want to fight me and I guess he wants me to know that he knows where I live??

it's not like I can't just find out where HE lives too and leave him big creepy notes. Ugh this is why keeping literal murderers in jail for four months is ridiculous

oh okay so it's one of those THINGS
those creepy murder-y fanboy things
gotcha. and may I add: gross.

[ Booster's never been popular enough to have his own Joker or whoever, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the game. ]

I want to fistfight his lawyer

ARE you gonna leave him creepy notes? all "I've got my eye on you, buddy"? go breathe on his window?

Super gross. When we fought he tried to hold my hand

[And he's not even nearly as into Jaime as he is into Gon.]

Is it weird that it's kinda tempting? That's probably weird. I never used to have these problems

that settles it
I'm gonna punch me a clown

and no that's not weird. or if it is weird I'm backing you up anyway.
wait
unless he's into that?
ugh I don't know

I'm just gonna say it now: please don't engage the clown. Seriously he'll just start getting creepy at you too and nothing will actually get done. He's not so much fanboy as much as he is all into potential and crap.

Unless he's killing someone again. Then please punch the clown and call me so I can punch him too

I don't know? I feel like engaging him is a bad idea and maybe it's better if he doesn't know that I know where he is but I also want to show him up? like HAH you're not the only one who can detect your way to people's houses

[Jaime you don't detect shit all. You just ask Scarab to do it for you.]

I'm a big boy and I can handle creepy
but fine
I GUESS I won't do anything to set him off

[ Also, does he actually have potential? Don't answer that. ]

do you think he'd get weird about it? MORE weird?
like take it as a compliment or something?
I don't know how this crap works, I'm not a clown whisperer

He's also genuinely really strong. Not that you can't handle really strong but it wouldn't be a fun time

[...like it is for Jaime, apparently. Whatever, he's ridiculously overpowered, and they both know that.]

Dude I don't know. This is kinda new to me. I think I've only held onto his attention this long because he already knows I'm keeping an eye on him because... kids

Have you ever dealt with stuff like this?

not quite. the stuff I get called in for is usually a little more
I dunno
straightforward?

[ There was Max, if they're discussing unpleasant superpowered standoffs, but that's a horse of an entirely different color. ]

I don't have the delicate touch

That's never exactly been my specialty either

[Okay, so he's dealt in trickery before, but who gives a shit about accuracy he just wants to whine about it.]
