Wandering in Murderland

It had been several hours since Gwen & Barbara had woken up in Murderland. Since then, they'd successfully dismantled a number of deathtraps, and thrashed a number of murderdroids -- it was nothing they couldn't handle. Fending off the advances of the Mad Hatter's bunnies, though, was far more difficult; they were all exceptionally attractive women. It was likely that they were poor and agreed to the Hatter's terms, or perhaps kidnapped prostitutes -- whatever the case, they were women that Tetch and the Gotham underworld assumed no one would ever miss. Gwen and Barbara agreed that they had to help free these women from their mind-controlled prison in addition to escaping Murderworld; furthermore, they agreed that Tetch was due a major beating for what he'd done to them.

The pair's priority at the moment, though, was to get rid of the collars around their necks. Unbeknownst to him, though, Jervis Tetch had chosen his targets poorly; Barbara and Gwen were very intelligent and well-versed in technology, and were using the tech in their suits to quietly and covertly analyze the collars for weaknesses. It would take a while, though, so Gwen & Barbara had to play along with Tetch's game for now. Deciding to search for other possible captives, they walked into an area filled with decorative, overgrown mushrooms.

"Ever wonder why Tetch is so obsessed with Alice in Wonderland?" Gwen asked. "Seems like kind of a weird theme for a supervillain."

"Supervillainy really brings out the nutjobs," answered Barbara. "Ever fight a guy who calls himself Onomatopoeia? His thing is making noises describing the thing he's doing. For example, if he's driving, he'll constantly be saying 'vrrrrroooooom"."

"HAHAHA! Yeah, I've dealt with guys like that. I once caught Kite-Man robbing a bank. He unfolds his little back kite and yells, 'you'll never catch me, Batgirl!'. And then a gust of wind knocks him into some power lines. So there he is, begging me to help untangle him and get him down. Lucky for him, he was smart enough to at least make his suit shock resistant."

"I think Condiment King has them all beat," Barbara laughed. "Apparently he thought my web shooters would be no match for ketchup and mustard."

"HA! Condiment King? Are bad guys really that **** to have a thing?"

"Yeah, I guess compared to him Tetch is freaking Thanoseid..."

Suddenly, Tetch's voice came booming over the Murderland PA system.

"You seem lost, ladies. Well, being the charitable soul that I am, I've decided to give you a hint -- I've built a number of rides and attractions here in the park -- ten of them, to be exact. If you can make it through every one of them, I'll be happy to deactivate your collars for you! You'll still probably die in here, but it'll be one less thing for you to worry about."

Both women rolled their eyes -- booby-trapped funhouse rides were nothing they hadn't dealt with before. The Goblin Clown had built them all over both Gotham and NYC. What could Tetch offer that hadn't been done before?

"Of course, there is a catch -- my bunnies are part of the attractions, and they're all feeling quite frisky -- if you're not careful, they'll be all over you! Good luck, ladies!"

OK, that was a new twist. Barbara and Gwen might not have needed Tetch to deactivate the collar for them -- once they had successfully analyzed them, they'd be able to do that on their own -- but they both knew they had to somehow rescue these women. Who knows what Tetch might do to them if they didn't play along? With that in mind, Gwen & Barbara headed towards the first attraction.
