Ask/Dare Bruce, Jeremiah, Edward, Oswald, 514A, & Jerome - Gotham *OPEN* + MS

Third Question

dyingbeautyqueen5 asks: I like to know what all of the gang, more specifically Jerome, thinks of Ecco. Or if the gang ships Ecco x Jeremiah or Jeremiah x Bruce. 

514A: Who? 

Oswald: Ah, the devil's right hand woman. Yeah, I don't really know much about her so I can't really tell you. 

Ed: *shrugs* Me neither. I mean all I saw was a silent woman covering up her obvious suffering with a mask and makeup. 

Jeremiah: Wait, didn't I answer something similar in a previous ask? 

me: Yeah, you did. 

Jeremiah: Oh. Well then, I'll have to reiterate what I had said previously & keep it brief: Tolerable at first. But slowly became annoying over time. 

Jerome: Oh well, if you were getting sick of her, you shoulda sent her my way. I would would have treated her to a good time. I actually liked how smart she was, how self-aware she was, how feisty she was, & the fact that she was able to defend herself, which I found to be pretty cool. Those were the only qualities about her that I actually found to be charming. If only she could have ended up with someone like ME. *points at himself* Instead of someone like my brother. *points at Jeremiah* I mean, WHO WOULD WANT TO FALL FOR SOMEONE LIKE THAT?! *laughs* 

Jeremiah: *sarcastically* Like, you'd know all about treating women right. Besides, who would want to fall for someone with infected staples on their face? 

*Both burst into a fight and Ed and Oswald rush in to stop it* 

Bruce: I don't really know much about her. But all I can say is that I really feel bad for her. I mean, I actually saw those bruises on her neck. It raised a lot of red flags in my head about her relationship with Jeremiah and what could have been happening behind closed doors. If I could have turned back the clock and go into the past, I would have changed a lot of things. One of those being saving Ecco from Jeremiah. I would have told her to get the Tartarus out of there. She didn't deserve that. She was her own person. I see her as what I could have become if I continued to remain unaware of what was happening to Jeremiah. He wasn't of much help either because he was and still is vague about details in his life.

Later... 

514A: What's a "ship"? I'm pretty sure it's a type of boat, right? *Bruce whispers something into his ear* Oooh, so that's what it is. Yeah, I don't really ship either of them. 

Ed: I don't ship Ecco with Jeremiah either. But I have mixed opinions on Jeremiah x Bruce. Mostly because I know what it's like. What happened between Oswald and I, happened to them as well, only Bruce didn't push him into the water and leave him to nearly die of hypothermia, Jeremiah instead crashed into a vat of chemicals, like an idiot.

Oswald: I don't ship them. I mean, if Jeremiah were to somehow magically turn back into a frightened nerd, then maybe I would. But at the end of the day, I don't know the full extent of either ship. 

Bruce: Eaugh! Oh! Gross! Why would you ship me with that home-wrecking psycho?! I may be bisexual but red heads are not my type and neither are psychopaths. I don't ship Eccomiah either. Going back to what Oswald said, if Jeremiah was a normal person, then maybe I would, but maybe not.

Jerome: Heh, my brother's just stealing my lime light.  But still, it just doesn't make any sense on how Ecco didn't want to end up with someone like me. I mean, back in the circus, ladies were all over me. They all wanted that dose of the Alpha J Valeska and not a slice of the nerd sundae that was Jeremiah. 

Jeremiah: I only see Ecco as the friend/ally that's not really my friend/ally due to the fact that we rarely ever talk, but is only considered my friend because we lived under the same roof together. Bruce, on the other hand, was *strikes a dramatic pose* the dream, *strikes another pose* my dream, what I could have had, if things went differently. *strikes yet another pose* He was the Nick Carraway to my Jay Gatsby. *strikes a pose* I kept hoping, *strikes a dramatic pose* yearning, that one day, he would wake up and realize that what he's been looking for, *gestures to himself* was here the whole time. 

514A: Did you just seriously quote a Taylor Swift song? 

Jeremiah: *ignores him and strikes another pose* I hoped that he would someday open up his eyes and see the world from where I stand- 

514A: *annoyed* Great, another song quote... Keep it up with the overdramatic and unnecessary poetry and poses, Shakespeare. 

Jeremiah: Five, I would hate to ask for you to stop interrupting me. 

514A: Well then, why don't you ask then? 

Jeremiah: I would. But let me finish my tea first. 

514A: Go ahead, I can wait. I'm in no rush. 

Jeremiah: *glares at him briefly* Anyway, since he left Gotham and came back 10 years later, it mattered to me less and more at the same time before he left. In the end, he still picked the cat, the hellscape,... *glares at 514A again before sighing in frustration* ...and the clone, over me, someone who actually cares. 

Ed: *teasingly* Tartarus hath no fury like a man scorned it seems... 

Jeremiah: Shut up! *mumurs to himself silently* Make that 4 bastards that I have to kill now.
