The Disappearing Joker Policy

So, this is the Joker!

He does not follow rules. He does not respect boundaries. A conversation with him is likely to include at least traumatically horrifying lies and quite possibly also violence.

I endeavour to make him as safe as possible despite this, and here's the trick I'm using to pull that off:

  • The Joker comes to Milliways in his dreams. He appears out of thin air somewhere in the main bar area when he arrives, and when he wakes up, he vanishes the same way.

  • You can ask me to disappear him at any time, for any reason, out of any thread I'm having with you, and I will.

  • By default, I will give an OOC warning before any tag in which he acts in a damaging way towards someone (violence, abusive language, explicit discussion of commonly triggering content), and if you would rather avoid that eventuality, I will have him disappear before he gets to it.
    • If you'd rather not receive these warnings, I can skip them; if you have specific content that you want to make sure I warn about, I am happy to oblige; if you have specific content that you just want him vanished for without me bothering you about it first, I can do that too.

    • I will try to give appropriate pre-warnings for all kinds of damaging behaviour, but I am not always good at judging the verbal stuff. If I screw it up, please let me know! The Disappearing Joker Policy is here to protect you and your pups.
