Just so everyone knows this story takes place in 2010 because ghoul stole one of Chronos' belts
Ghoul got home late, he was out getting money from unsuspecting citizens. He needed cash all he had were the creds he had stashed from the jokerz before he left, figuring they would work in the past, he was wrong. He loved the past, he loved everything about it, except the lame tech, not having his computer or cubes was driving him just a little crazy, he had tried to figure out how to transfer the Data from the cubes to CD's but he was having trouble. But tonight something was different, he could feel it, he didn't want to get on the computer –which is very strange for him-, but not only that, his normal craving for caffeine was gone, he had practicly lived on it for the last 17 years and all of a sudden it was gone….something had to be wrong, and he knew just what it was the moment he walked into his apartment. There was a sent in the air he knew it well but the only people he knew who wore it were the deeds.
He was cautious not believing it was possible for the girls to be in 2010. "Dee?" he called slowly searching through the rooms "you—" he almost fell straight back when Delia, the older and more annoying of the twins, popped out of his room. She was quickly joined by Deidre. They both grinned
"Heya ghoulie" they said in unison. They latched arms with ghoul. Deidre on his left and Delia on his right
"Erm….hey? how did you get here" he pulled his arms away from the twins and slid is hands into the pockets of his blood splattered pants. They glanced at each other and shrugged "we were trying to save your stuff from Chucko" Deidre replied
"and we found a Chronos time belt thingy" Delia added. It always annoyed ghoul that they finished each other's sentences, but he put up with it. They were the only family he had and he didn't want to lose them. He did a quick face palm and looked over as the girls jumped over the back of the couch landing and then sitting their heads turned to look at ghoul. "I knew I should of hid that…what do you guys want?" he acted upset but was truthfully happy to see them, like I said they were family and he had been 40 years away for a while now
"we wanted to find our granddad" they said in unison with grin plastered on their face. Ghoul rolled his eye, he couldn't believe at they thought joker was their grandfather. Ghoul knew his history and knew the timeline it was impossible. "I cant believe you guys still worship him" ghoul walked over and sat in an arm chair next to the couch the girls where sprawled out on.
"how could you not?" Delia said as she sat up half glaring at ghoul. Ghoul cocked a eyebrow –or what would have been a eyebrow if he didn't save them off—"he is an ass"
"he was the greatest mind of all time!" the girls looked hurt and angry so ghoul backed off. "whatever" he leaned back lazily "you said something about saving my stuff?" they girls nod rapidly.
"Chucko found that you took the creds"
"to say the least he was not very happy…" ghoul glared off into space
"he would have the creds without me, ugh I hate the damn dreg" he got up and walked into his room and came back out a few moments later he came back out throwing the bag of small plastic cards onto the coffee table. "take em' they don't work here anyways" his mind jumped to that was the only reason they were here, not to see him but to get their cash cards back.
"we don't want them…" they said "we got fed up with Chucko breaking into our room so we came to pick on you, and get in touch with J of course" ghoul stood silent for a moment….."joy…." he rolled his eyes again, and sat back down, this time next to Deidre "you realize this is nothing like 2039 right?" they think about it for a minute and shrug "oh well, so where are we sleeping?" Deidre said looking over at him
"you guys can take the bed…not like I'm using it" the girls nodded and yawned "its almost morning" Deidre said "we are going to bed" ghoul nodded and got up waving to the girls as they went back to his room. He sat at his computer, not typing not truly doing anything except think about the girls, Mainly Deidre, he has had a crush on her for years, never said anything about it but the whole time they were talking he could hear his heart bouncing out of his chest
