[Pomeline would argue that it was the opposite for most people, but she had managed to make a small, tight-knit group of friends back at the Academy, so maybe it wasn't all a lie.]

Joker's not one guy I'd ever like to run into. In that way, I guess it's good that my mom placed me at GA. Sure, we've had Killer Croc and Clayface stop by, and some of our teachers are a little evil - But honestly, isn't that kinda what high school teachers are anyway? - but...you know. I've faced off against supernatural weirdness already, but there's something about the Joker that seems worse. I get the allure of the dark side, I mean, hi, but something about the Joker just hits differently and way more unpleasantly.

[Yeah, she realizes she's talking to someone who left the Joker behind a long time ago, but she's just being honest about him. If there's one thing Pomeline's never believed in, it's beating around the bush. She'd rather just lob a buzzing chainsaw into the middle of one and let everything come running out.]

I kinda feel like the magic stuff is going to force you to work on your impulse control. Otherwise, you know. Boom. Because magic can be unpredictable and wild like that.
