[Joker is grinning dryly into the camera as he turns it on.]

Take a gander at this.

[With that, he turns the camera around to focus it on what some people might as Rogue the Furret. The Circus' resident Psychic types lift him up into the air.... and begin to shake him.]

[From his fur? Things just start cascading. Loose change, mints, someone's spare keys, cards for various businesses... Eventually, Rogue is put down, whereupon his first act is to shove a mint into his mouth. After a second, he spits out the plastic, perfectly untorn.]

[Turning the camera back onto him, Joker raises his eyebrows.]

This is the fourth time we've done this ta him. I gotta say, them Rockets need ta clean their place up a little more.

Anyway! I'm not making this ta just point out what a mess Rogue's fur still is after prom. The Eve's Garden Circus here in Goldenrod is approachin' its fourth anniversary. There'll be a special event goin' on all throughout the month for anyone who participates, and you can win some interestin' little prizes~. We'll be havin' performances all throughout the month, too, so drop on by!

Not ta mention, if yer interested in a job, from performance ta maintenance ta anythin' else, let me know!

[Private to Jimmy Darling, Envy, Lust, Wrath, Jane Crocker, Draculaura, Jack Skellington, Heather Mason, Ralph]

...And yer all invited for a special anniversary dinner, if ya care for it.

[ooc: A mingle log for everyone will be put up this Friday, and can go throughout the entire month! There will be top levels for food stalls, games, and the Anniversary Event, along with a dinner top level for any characters who take him up on his invitation.]

... Holy shit, I've never actually tried that with Arty. ... I kind of wonder what would fall out if I did.

_{[PROBABLY NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS FROM ROGUE BECAUSE ARTY DOESN'T HAVE THE 'PICKUP' ABILITY, BUT STILL.]}

--and awesome, me and Envy'll be there.

Sorry we keep running off on you, heh.

Just gotta get those Kanto badges, you know?

[pipers_son]

Well, if ya ever find yerself in that movin' platform area for the Rockets, just let him roll around in all their junk, and stuff will probably end up in his fur. [In fact- he turns to call over his shoulder.] STOP EATIN' ALL THOSE MINTS, YOU'LL MAKE YOURSELF SICK!

[This Furret is 100% getting sick, goddammit Rogue.]

And no worries~. Those handy teleportin' pads make this sorta thing fine, don't they?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She snorts.]}

'Her', actually-- and usually when I yell at her to drop something, she just starts eating it faster.

And yeah-- honestly, it is a real relief not to have to spend multiple days flying everywhere any time you wanna go somewhere.

[pipers_son]

[A long suffering sigh that is only maybe a little exaggerated.]

Sometimes I think toddlers listen better than Furrets with a love for mints, huh?

And still, I like the flyin' a bit. I mean, mostly in the summer, I guess, but the point stands!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I love flying, but having to do it every time I want to go anywhere can get a bit... old.

Sometimes I just wanna pop over to Ecruteak for one of those awesome fresh handmade mochis that you can't get anywhere else, you know?

[pipers_son]

Kids these days! No respect for good ol’ fashioned travel!

[Joker shut up you’re not that old even for a joke]

[foolishwren]

--how old even are you?

_{[HE CAN'T BE THAT MUCH OLDER THAN HER. And certainly not older than Envy.]}

[pipers_son]

Over 100, definitely.

[They're including time eras, right?]

[foolishwren]

_{[THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE NOT.]}

Dude, there is no way you're over a hundred.

... Unless you're not human.

_{[A pause.]}

... Are you not human? You never know, in this place.

[pipers_son]

Nah, pretty human.

But! I am from the late 1800s, so I think it counts.

[He's also full of shit, obviously]

[foolishwren]

... That doesn't count, smartass.

_{[C'MON she's met people who were OLD MEN from the FUTURE, does that make them younger than she is? Hell no.]}

[pipers_son]

That's no way ta speak ta yer elders, young lady!

[Except now he's giggling, which ruins the effect maybe a little]

[foolishwren]

Hey, you don't know me!

I might be from ancient Rome or some shit.

I might be older than everybody.

[pipers_son]

Oh yeah? Prove it! Speak some, uh, Latin, that's it!

[...Is Latin what they spoke in ancient Rome? He can't bleedin' remember, fuck it]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather clears her throat, very professionally.]}

Tu fui, ego eris.

1/2

[pipers_son]

[Joker makes some vague understanding noises, hand curled under his chin as he nods along, before he leans closer to the camera.]

I'm gonna let ya in on a lil' secret, Heather.

[And he clears his throat, closing his eyes as he gathers his composure...]

[pipers_son]

I don't know shite about Latin.

[And he bursts into cackles.]

[foolishwren]

Well, see, there you go.

You can't prove I'm not from ancient Rome.

So who's got seniority here?

[pipers_son]

Then that means, if anythin', ya should be on my side!

[foolishwren]

Sorry, I don't mingle with young whippersnappers such as yourself.

[pipers_son]

Now ain't that just the rudest thing!

[foolishwren]

_{[Time to break out the grandma voice.]}

Shhhhhh.

Children should be seen, not heard.

[pipers_son]

[Okay- the grandma voice is doing him in. The Pokegear spins out of his hands as he doubles over cackling, and it's only the quick thinking of one of the many psychic Pokemon that saves it.]

[Envy's taste in girlfriends is truly flawless.]
