[Luckily for the Joker, he arrived in his own apartment, as opposed to the middle of the forest or on top of a mountain. However, the downside to this whole kidnapping business more than made up for that. Upon waking up, it was incredibly obvious that something was wrong. His breathing was a lot more raspy than it had been, and he couldn't stop coughing every few minutes. A quick look at his hands told him everything that he needed to know - he had Titan poisoning again. He couldn't forget what that felt like - prior to his arrival in Luceti, his condition had been deteriorating for the past year. And to make matters worse, it didn't seem to have started from scratch; rather, he felt similar to how he did roughly a week before Batman showed up in Arkham City. That certainly wasn't good - he had no idea if it would continue to advance that quickly, and he didn't know any brilliant scientist whose wife or family he could hold hostage. As much as he hates to admit it, he needs to ask for help - sure, death isn't permanent here, but he'd prefer to avoid it if it's not Batman-inflicted.]

[When he gets to his journal, he only writes three words down, making sure to stay out of the camera's way when doing so. Hiding his face - for now, at least - had become routine, (no point in showing himself if he wasn't bragging about his latest crime) and it was even more important when he was like this. After all, he didn't want anyone to see him as weak. He wrote this down hastily, but in big letters so it would be eye-catching.]

Need a DOCTOR

((OoC: he won't be killed off - the kidnapping effect will wear off right before that, but he'll be increasingly desperate as the week goes on.))
