[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.]

[...Well she didn't expect that. Jane's jaw drops and her eyes widen.]

Wh...really? Me, too? Goodness, not that I'm complaining, but why me?

[Video] [Private]

[pipers_son]

Angel insisted. And I can't argue with her when she makes a decision, ha!

[Video] [Private]

[cyan_maid]

Gosh, well! I'll have to be very sure to extend my thanks to her! Does she have a particular flavor of food that she likes?

[Because the proper thing to do when invited to a party is to bring more food with you and maybe something special for the cutie who got you invited.]

[rambling_runner]

Hey, is that some of Danny's sweets in there?

But oh man, you run the circus? I'm on my way there but I dunno how long it'll take me to get there. Fingers crossed I make it in time for the special event and all!

[ Danny pops up beside him upon hearing mention of his sweets. Wait, IT'S ROGUE. Danny immediately stuck his tongue out at him playfully. ]

[pipers_son]

Ha, might be. We haven't really had a chance ta separate everythin'.

But yeah, it'll be goin' on all through the month! If ya need a ride, we have a flyin' service for folks who can't get ta the portals.

[Rogue immediately scurries over, shoving his face up against the camera and chittering right back. Joker has to shove his furry face right back.]

[rambling_runner]

Nah, I wanna see everything. I was born and raised in London back home, so I never got to go out and see nature and shit. I'm going by Azalea and then through Ilex to get to Goldenrod - it can't take a month to get through there!

[ Danny boofs back at Rogue, pushing on Ash's head so he can get more in frame and ignoring his trainer's surprised noise. ]

"You owe me like, twenty truffles!"
Danny, get off me you bloody-!

[Video]

[notmyrealname]

Seems to me like their place is going to be a lot cleaner now, thanks to your friend there.

[Cissnei looks quite amused by the entire thing, chin propped in her hand as she sits on a bench with Reno in her lap.]

You run a circus?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Maybe I should send 'em a bill for the cleanin' service then.

[Definitely a way to make money- just let everything gather in Rogue's fur.]

And indeed I do! Ringleader, in fact, and been goin' on for a good few years.

[Video]

[notmyrealname]

Sounds like a good business venture to me. [A pause.] Or maybe an ingenuous scam.

[It's one of those.]

I may have to pay your circus a visit sometime then. I'm curious to see what you've put together while you've been here.

[video]

[captainash]

Wow, I wasn't aware that Furrets could come with the Pickup ability. Where did you get one of those?

[His attempt to sound sincere is somewhat undermined by his barely restrained laughter.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

Oh, he was just born with it! Maybe one of those secret little talents some Pokemon have, huh?

[It's fine, laugh, Joker did the first time they did this.]

[video]

[captainash]

Probably, and a particularly useful one, too. Did he pick up anything particularly gossip-worthy? Hidden photos, juicy love letters?

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

Really? It's been four years?

I need to drop by sometime then. It's been so long since I came to one of the shows!

[She's been... ah, preoccupied.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

Yep~. We've been here for a while now, so I suppose me and my lot are lucky for it.

Anyway, we'll be glad ta see ya!

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

That's amazing. Being here for so long... and being able to do something like that! [She's kind of captured by just the idea of it.]

If I remember, I'll have to try and get a ticket, and maybe bring some friends.

[Private]

[veggie_vamp]

Oooh, a special anniversary dinner? I wouldn't miss it for the world!

[Private]

[pipers_son]

Then we'll be glad to see you there! It'll be a great meal~. Got any favorites for us ta prepare?

[Private]

[veggie_vamp]

As long as you've got a really good salad, I'm all set!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... 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?

[Video]

[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.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath has been nothing but bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ever since the Rocket Prom.]

[And because he's SUCH a good Rocket, he doesn't say a single word in response to Joker's lighthearted jabs at how Team Rocket can't declutter worth a damn. He's undercover.]</sub>

I always care for dinner.

[Video]

[pipers_son]

I'm sure ya do. [Another little laugh, 100% fondness.] I remember how ya were the first time I invited ya!

Any special food requests this time around?

[video | private]

[exeggutorhead]

Well, that sounds like a call back to duty if I ever heard one. We'll have to wrap it up here in Vermillion and head back, or Lust is gonna have a hard time on the trapeze alone.

[AS IF ANYONE COULD REPLACE HIM UP THERE. Still, he's grinning widely with excitement.]

And as if I'd ever miss out on a dinner.

[video | private]

[pipers_son]

Well, if she could do a trapeze act on her own, I think I might have ta give her a raise.

[But it's true- not a lot of people could replace Envy.]

Any special requests?
