"Session #129, Patient #21401"

"Can we just get past the small talk, hm?"

"Starting with the snideness early, 214?"

"Oh, of course. Why wouldn't I? I'm in here instead of out there, I'm stuck in some box with a two-bit therapist, meanwhile, you ask silly questions as if you expected anything but snideness."

"You're oddly aggressive today, 214. Something bothering you?"

"Ha! That's a treat. I'm always bothered."

"Moreso today."

"If you must insist... I've been rather retrospective lately."

"Pardon?"

"Inflection. Years have come and go. It's important for a man of power to remember his roots... however I don't miss them. So, yes, retrospective."

"... 214, I want to try something new."

"Oh do you now?"

"I wanted to start from the beginning. Tell me your story."

"...What?"

"You heard me, I know that much You wanted to skip the small talk, didn't you?"

"You are aware that I am a diagnosed pathological liar, correct?"

"I've never expected the truth from you."

"You truly want to delve into this madness."

"If you won't cooperate with traditional methods, then madness is at least some progress."

"Well then, where should I begin?"

"It's your story. I want you to tell me your life. Tell me the life of the Clown Prince of Crime."

A/N: Welcome, welcome one and all to the extravagant, epic, mind-numbing tale of ours! I am your host, Infernokota (thank you, thank you).

This is an idea that has existed on this site for quite a while now (two years). It never really gained traction even as I continuously added new, exciting chapters and I was befuddled. Why, my witty, hilarious, soul-wrenching, emotional writing is failing?! Then I discovered the fact of the matter- The earliest chapters were absolute shit. No, just ask and I will send you one of the first six. They're horrible. Anyways, if you're new here, this probably means nothing to you. But it is a current warning that from chapter 5 to chapter 11, the writing quality leaves a lot to be desired. I'm currently working on rewrites, and it's a project of mine to finish the rewrites and the rest of the story by the end of the summer (two years for twenty chapters is too damn long).

If this fails to get finished by September, then bare with me; updates will be few and far between without large word counts to make up for said absences. I struggle to juggle (ha!) school and writing, so it's a matter of priorities (not to mention when sports begins, woe is me).

With that said, the focus of this story is on one sole main character (an OC). The story peaks and valleys quite often in terms of seriousness vs. comedy. Romance is nonexistent. I only use legitimate canon storylines twice, so prepare for those. This is also going to be a huge mayhaps 60 chapter story, and I have two sequels (not to mention spinoffs/multiverse stories/stories that exist in this same universe) planned, all about the same length. Imma be here for a while.

With that said, enjoy the show- and I'll see you at the other side *fades into 'read on, read on, read on, READ ON, READ ON, READ ON!'*

If you read that to Dream On, I love you with all of my passion.

R&R
