So what? I'm still a rockstar.

[revvinguptheharley]

Who: Harley Quinn and anyone who dares show up.
What: Harley throws her own victory party and YOU'RE INVITED!
When: During the family visits.
Where: Caritas Karaoke bar


The Caritas Karaoke Bar was not one of the most popular places in Capitol City. In part because of it's bad location on the far side of town.

Also in part to the fact that it was a poorly lit little hole in the wall where the high society would not so easily be seen by cameras. This dim little business however was not dirty nor was it quiet. In fact there was music playing twenty four hours a day by order of the owner who claimed that without music in his life he would have no reason to live.

And thus the bar became a karaoke bar. A place free of judgment for even the most ridiculous and horrible singers to step up on stage, get cheered on while the belt out a tune and perform awkward and off rhythm dance moves.

It didn't hurt that the alcohol was cheap.

Harley swaggered up onto the stage in a outfit she had been saving just for the occasion.

Tapping the microphone she cleared her voice.

"Testing, testing, there will be a pop quiz later~"

There was some light chuckles in the crowd and Harley tapped a button on the Karaoke machine to set it playing.

The song she chose had a bouncy beat she loved. It had to be dug up from the backlog of music the club kept on hand but it fit her mood and she screeched it out half off key and half just shouting the lyrics while punching her fist in the air. It was a cringeworthy display but she was having so much fun swinging around the microphone stand and jumping onto the nearest tables that one couldn't help but laugh either with her or at her.

As the song ended and the cheers died down she waved to crowd and blew kisses before taking up the mic again.

"Thank you, thank you! That one was dedicated to my EX-Boyfriend." She made sure to put emphasis on the first part of that title as a picture of a rather distressed looking clown appears on the screen behind her.

"Yeah that's the bum!" She barked and seized upon a bowl of popcorn from one of the tables closest to the stage to throw the puffed snacks at the screen in dismissal.

"I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him...he gave me my start after all. But you know who made me who I am today?"

The picture fades and is replaced by images of some of the more well known tributes and mentors, Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Barbara Wilson, Cecil Palmer, Cinderella, Damian Wayne, Diana Prince, Donatello, Dr. Holiday, Edward Nygma, Elsa, Eva Salazar, Hans, Homura Akemi, Kurt Hummel, Maximus, Mindy Macready, Tim Wayne. And finally Susannah and Detta, two pictures of the same woman with sharply different expressions on her face.

"She'll kill me when she sees this." Harley added jerking her thumb at the picture of Susannah, "And to be fair...I probably deserve it. But that's a headcase for another day!" She chuckles.

"The point is...no woman is an island. Or man for that matter. Not even the ones as big as Mentor Maxi there. Even if we're in different districts we're all still warriors right? We're all still wallflowers attending the same party and waiting for the right moment to dance!"

At the word dance the screen shifts again to one of her more popular videos where she and Donatello were engaged in brutal combat ontop of stampeding buffalo. The video appears to have been doctored however so instead of blood splatter sparkles burst from each wound like she's full of glitter.

"I gotta say, Green Genes there is one of the best dance partners a girl could ask for. I hope he wins next...no offense to those of ya who won't win." she added with a stage wink.

"Anyway, I wasn't the only winner in the last arena...but I'm the only one of the four I give a crap about so lets do what we came here to do!"

She held the Mic tight and bellowed so loud she didn't even need it's support.

"Scream and drink till we forget how insane everything is! LETS GET CRAZY"

She kicked off the next song and called out over the music "I wanna see you all dance for this one! Especially you District nine! Your mentor commands it!
