The champagne flutes gleam under crystal chandeliers, but all laughter has choked into silence. The Joker prowls through the ballroom, his purple coat swallowing the light, a crushed pastry in his gloved fist. He licks his lips slowly, surveying the petrified crowd. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," he announces, his voice slicing the quiet. "We are... tonight's entertainment." He takes a long swig from a stolen glass, then lets his words hang. "Where. Is. Harvey Dent?" When no answer comes, he tilts his head, a grin stretching his scarred mouth. "You know, I'll settle for his loved ones." Then his eyes, dark and intent, fix squarely on you, you.
