That's always been rumors about the kenny house, though they were mostly about ghosts never about monsters, that is until the elderly matriarch of the house died on a sunny summer day leaving the estate to her great grandson Jonathan who had recently bloomed into adulthood the day before his grandmother's death
not soon after came the rumors of a monster in The house's basement, the rumor started as one of many explanations for strange occurrences around the land of the house, things like disappearing animals, the sudden Improvement of the houses fields, obscene guttal moaning there could be heard for miles around
no one was quite sure what kind of monster it was in The house's basement, the only one who could be completely sure was Jonathan and he seldom ever left the house, and when he did he spoke to no one
some say it's a demon the man's summoned to end his loneliness and was the reason for the land becoming fertile, some say it's some sort of coniferous plant Beast, some other said it was a fairy of some kind
for a while people were content with just having rumors and not wanting to truly know, that is until people started disappearing, at first they were people that wouldn't be missed, and then an outsider disappeared, and then reappeared not soon after, but he was changed, instead of shy and virginal like he used to be, the thing pretending to be the outsider was quite outspoken and lewd, he also accompanied Jonathan everywhere he went, the people were quite sure that the thing in the basement had taken the blonde Outsiders appearance after most likely killing and eating him
the final straw just was a disappearance of the preacher man of the town, and the not soon after discovery of his head which was impaled upon a metal cross in the fields of the kenny estate
the townspeople broke into the house not a week later but only found the place empty and quite a sight in the basement, wall to wall was plastered Blasphemous symbols of many types, and in the center of the basement a book opened to a page with Illustrated a sexy demon laying sexually in a field of quite impressive looking mushrooms
the people never did find Jonathan or his demonic lover, some say the two returned to the demons hellish home, others say Jonathan let himself be eaten, some others say they left town to feed upon people somewhere else
but no one's quite sure, and honestly they don't even want to know, that thing is gone and the house is empty, and if no one's disappearing anymore then go to riddance
...
The one where Joker gets punched (finally)
Jonathan sits in solitary, reminiscing upon what happened many hours ago, his hand still stings from impacting with a joke's sharp chin, but it's a good sting, a satisfying sting
it started in the common room, he and Jervis were sitting on the couch watching a gardening show with Pamela, and then Waltz is in the Joker
he takes a seat in the middle of the couch and then snatches the remote from Power flicking it to some crude comedy, that's strike one
strike two is when he starts comparing the slapstick of the comedy to the murder of the second Robin, and laughs that stupid laugh of his
strike 3 is when he mentions that horrid rumor involving Jervis, and when Jonathan looks at the mentioned man Jervis looks like he wants to rip out the clowns lying tongue
and he knows what he must do, not only to satisfy his partner's need for violence to be inflicted on the Clown but to temporarily shut up the guy, so he reels back A fist and
there were a lot of reasons that punch was worth it despite the sting, not only because it's pain upon the Clown, but also that look that you just gave him as he was being dragged off, that grateful smile and those eyes crinkled in satisfaction, that's what he lived for
