Hi guys, as always, THANK YOU for the feedback.
*waves to Alyce & Query*


Alyce, I know I haven't said much about if/how/when Jervis will make a larger appearance. It's not that I didn't see your comment. Truth is, I'm not sure yet what the future holds for most of the rogues.


Selina, I'm especially glad you're enjoying Az. I'd be remiss if I didn't credit Ken, our own resident choir boy, who totally opened the character up for me.
It's amazing how much less psychotic the Az-side is when you take him out of the rooftop fatherfigure hallucination business and stick him between Jean Paul's ears where he belongs.


Orion, yet again your response has my wheels turning in a dozen directions, and I can't wait to see where they lead.

1) JP & Selina - garsh, I think I have to fall back on Alfred's reflections in re Anatole & the French. The "new" relationship is probably going to play out pretty much like the old one. Only time will tell tho.

2) just what does Ivy want from Eddie, especially the morning after the night before?

I'm asking, you're asking, when his head clears Eddie will be asking - but the scary thing is, I don't think Pammy knows herself.

As for Clurissa, there's a real groupie-ish phenomenon (and a stalker version too, unfortunately) along the lines of: Joey Fatone belongs to the world, but Les Claypool is mine.
--and if that statement EVER works its way back to Les Claypool, I didn't mean that the way it sounded.

3) Bruce. Yep, he really has grown, and yet he still falls back on old habits, don't we all.
The way he lucked out with Selina, in my view, is that she had forgotten the Harvey upset after Jean Paul's visit - the reminder of AzBat had her in a particularly pro-Bruce frame of mind.
Now the bad news - I don't believe he does know how lucky he is, either on that timing or with Selina in general - because Bruce doesn't think in terms of "luck." He's more self-destiny guy. Certainly he'd never blame "bad luck" or "bad timing" when he could blame himself instead.
Good luck - hmm - it's an interesting nugget we've stumbled upon. Might warrant looking into.

>>methinks the lady is protesting just a little too much as regards the "I have not changed sides" bit...

I'm not saying you're wrong, we all remember her insisting she and Batman were just enemies that enjoyed sexually charged banter instead of spitting venom like some... but historically only MirrorBitch can get away with telling her something like that without turning into a scratching post, so let's move along to...

Dr Bartholomew.
I guess only time will tell how he deals with his disappointment about Leslie and the stresses of his, er, chosen profession.
You're right that the world certainly doesn't need another Arkham staffer with a few screws loose. But cut the guy a break, he spends his days listening to rogues rant and rave, and not even Poison Ivy appreciates his garden view office. It takes a toll.
Good news: Even in Gotham not EVERYBODY copes by donning spandex and setting the city on fire. Just what Dr.Bart will do, only time will tell.

:) I'm really glad you're all enjoying.

Now an announcement:

Regretably the next installment of Cat-Tails may be delayed while some of us try and coax Ivy out of her trailer.
She gave a grim "gotta go along to get along" smile at 'Green-on-Green' and 'Greenhouse effect' but it seems talk of 'the rash' and other responses to her appearance in Torches has her quite depressed.

I'll get a new chapter out as soon as I can, but the fact is, I may be spending the weekend looking at baby pictures of Ivan 2.
