Jonathan, scowling to hide a blush: Are you trying to use seduction to trick me into a healthy sleep cycle?

 

Jervis: No! ...Is it working?

 

Jonathan: ...

Jonathan, climbing into bed: No.

Chapter 3: The Perils Of Befriending Jonathan Crane


This entire series has been the weirdest mixture of creative thinking, hard work, laziness, and copy-pasting. It has been a lot of fun. I'm as well NEVER doing it again.

Edit: Hello, two years later and I've done it SO MANY more times XD

Edward: Let's play Truth Or Dare.

 

Jonathan: You hate that game.

 

Jervis, quickly: Let's play anyways! Choose, truth or dare?

 

Jonathan, suspicious: Truth.

 

Edward: How many hours have you slept this week?

 

Jonathan: Dare.

 

Edward: You can't jus-

 

Jonathan, glaring: Dare.

 

Jervis: Go to sleep.

 

Jonathan: No.

Jonathan: -Drops canister of Fear Toxin and runs-

 

Edward: -whimpers- I don't like this game.

Chapter 4: Spoiler Alert!

Stephanie: Just wondering, Uncle Jon, did you get any sleep last night?

 

Jonathan, looking up from where he's trying to make Fear Toxin in the kitchen sink: Did I get any... leap?

 

Stephanie: What..?

Chapter 5: I Don't Do Alcohol (So This Ends Up Fitting Here)

Jonathan: I wasn't that sleep deprived.

 

Edward: You were flirting with Jervis.

 

Jonathan: So what? He's my boyfriend.

 

Edward: You asked him if he was single.

 

Jonathan: Okay, I'll admit that's-

 

Edward: And cried when he said he wasn't.

 

Jonathan: ...

Jonathan: Fine, I'll go to bed.

Chapter 6: Ivy Fixes Everything (Or Does She Just Make It Worse?)

Jonathan, curled up on the couch with a blanket: I'm so tired...

 

Harvey: What time did you wake up today?

 

Jervis, annoyed: He didn't.

 

Harvey: What?

 

Jonathan: It's nothing.

 

Edward, whispering in Twoface's ear: You can't wake up if you never fell asleep.

 

Jonathan: I have insomnia and nightmares. It's not my fault I have a terrible sleep schedule.

 

Ivy: I think I can help. Oh, Joker~

 

Joker, sticking his head into the room: Yeah?

 

Ivy: Spooky needs some help getting a decent sleep schedule.

 

Joker: -nods- Got it! -dashes out of room-

 

Jonathan, definitely 'not' panicked: Wait, what is he doing?

 

Ivy: He has trouble sleeping too. But there's a surefire method we've perfected.

 

Jonathan: Why would you help him..?

 

Edward, figuring it out: Oh no...

 

Harley, stomping into the room, clipboard in hand: -in her psychiatrist voice- Professor Crane! What's this I hear about you staying up all night?

 

Jonathan: It's hardly your concern, Child.

 

Harley: -plops down on chair by the couch, looking at clipboard- Do you know what lack of sleep can do to your mind?

 

Jonathan: Of course I know, I'm a psychology pro-

 

Harley: You're deflecting, Crane. Tonight you will go to bed at 20:00 sharp, or no Fear Toxin experiments tomorrow.

 

Jonathan: Excuse me-?

 

Harley: While we're here, let's talk about your eating habits...

 

Joker: I'd listen ta her if I were ya! -under his breath- Not dat she'll actually give ya a choice.

 

Harley: What was that, J?

 

Joker, panicked: Ya've got such a lovely therapy voice!
