[For those who know him, Joker has been pretty quiet for a month. Considering the ringleader's social habits, it's probably a little strange. However, when he pops onto the network this morning, he's giving the same cheery grin as usual.]

Happy Halloween~. [A boisterous laugh.] Well, I suppose it's a wee bit too early ta say that, innit? Still, it's the month for it, and y'know what that means!

As usual, the Eve's Garden Circus will be hosting our usual Halloween events this month in conjunction with Jack's haunted house! We'll have delectable treats and delightful games that only show up around this time of year, folks, so be sure ta drop down into Goldenrod and give us a visit!

Of course, it'd be a right shame if I didn't mention our amazin' darin' and fantastic acts that we got goin' on in the big top! Our strongman could give a Golurk a run for his money, and our trapeze artists are so fantastically skilled that you might think they're ghosts themselves with how they never touch the ground!

So come one, come all, ta the Eve's Garden Circus for our Halloween celebrations! We got a transportation service for folks who need a lift!

[Almost conspiratorially, he leans in and raises a hand to his mouth.]

And if all this has interested ya a bit more personally than most, you'll be glad ta hear that the Circus is always on the look out for new potential and talent! If yer interested in workin' here, let me know! We accept both people who already have a skill of their own, or folks who don't mind gettin' a bit of on the job trainin'!

I have to admit, I've found myself anticipating the Halloween season this year.

[She can't help but laugh some, at the description of her and Envy as 'nearly ghosts'. It...wasn't entirely inaccurate.]

Of course I'm biased, but there's no greater spectacle in the regions.

[pipers_son]

See, Lust, that’s why yer one of my favorites. Y’know the way ta my heart.

[Playfully, he winks to her through the Pokegear.]

Got any idea for how ya want ta dress up for yer act? I bet Envy has ideas, if nothin’ else.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

That and I fill seats.

[The wink is returned.]

Oh, Envy's the costume mastermind, I leave that up to him.

Video

[pipers_son]

Ha! Well, I can’t argue with that good logic. That reminds me, last year wasn’t much of a chance for it… But do ya think I could borrow Wrath for a bit this Halloween?

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't see why not. I'm sure he'd enjoy it, he adores you and god knows he has more energy than I ever know what to do with.

Video

[pipers_son]

Good~. I figured that’d be the answer, but never hurts ta check. I didn’t get ta take him out trick-or-treatin’ last year, so I thought I’d make it up ta him this go around. I mean, so long as the world doesn’t get another disaster or some such.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, I imagine it will. It always does.

But take him whenever you'd like.

Video

[pipers_son]

Thank ya kindly~. I’ll even help get him presentable so ya don’t have ta drive yerself mad in the attempt yerself.

Re: Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, good luck. I think we're going to have to take him to a Pokemon groomer to get him properly presentable.

I swear, his hair has evolved into some sort of mildly sentient lifeform...

[Aaah! It's Joker! Jane brightly smiles when she sees him. Where have you been, sir?]

I am strongly considering taking you up on that transportation offer, Mister Joker! And I will definitely try to bring my friends along, too. What's this about a haunted house, now?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

[Having a mild crisis and breakdown, u know]

[Still, he grins brightly when he sees who it is.]

We’ll be glad ta have ya aboard, my fair lady! As for the haunted house, why, it’s the finest and scariest in all of Johto! Run by my good friends Jack and Jimmy, and it’s been here even longer than the circus, if ya can believe it. That’s how y’know it’s nothin’ but the finest in spooks and frights. We at the circus even have a delightful carriage ride back and forth between us.

[cyan_maid]

[hahah lol yeah so fun]

Goodness! So the two establishments are on good terms, I'll assume?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Oh, absolutely! Me and Jack are good friends, and I’d never hear anyone say otherwise. Ya should really meet him, Halloween is his passion~! Not ta mention he’s been here for… Lord, years now, probably. Outdoes me and a few other folks by ages, ha.

I bet ya would like him!

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Halloween is his passion, huh? That's definitely a fun passion to have! I would certainly like to make his acquaintance.

[Definitely want to get to know the business folks in Johto, y'all're rad so far. But that name-]

Though, I do need to ask...this Jack doesn't wear a weird kind of face mask with large metal staple-things on it, does he? Because I've heard some conflicting things about that Jack, and I'd like to, erm, be...careful, I guess? Not to be rude, of course - I doubt you'd be good friends with someone if they weren't a good egg, but...

[Is he the weirdo with the split personality body double, she's asking.]

[Video]

[pipers_son]

...Ah. Nah, different Jack. Aha, Jack Skellington, actually, older fella, longer hair.

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Oh, okay! I'll remember that, thank you!

...Is his last name really Skellington, though? It makes it sound like he was born to be involved in spooky business.

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Ha! Good question. It’s what he’s told me and, with the things I’ve seen durin’ certain… strange periods of the year, I got no reason ta believe it ain’t his name.

Video

[veggie_vamp]

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! This is gunna be so fangastic!

Video

[pipers_son]

Now that’s a face I know we’ll get ta see plenty of around here! If ya don’t visit, I think my heart would break from disappointment, ha ha!

Video

[veggie_vamp]

Well, I certainly can't let that happen, not on the best day of the year!

Video

[pipers_son]

So, besides visitin’ little ol’ me, have ya got any other big plans for the season?

Video

[veggie_vamp]

Handsome Jack and I are going to make super special Pokemon cards!

Video

[pipers_son]

Oh, Jack, eh? Me and him had a brief talk, once. What kinda cards are these?

[A playful wink.]

Don’t suppose I could get a sneak peek?

Video

[veggie_vamp]

They're greeting cards and prints! I'm gunna make costumes for Pokemon, and take he'll take a bunch of pictures!

We're going with the Halloween theme, of course!

Video

[pipers_son]

Ooooh! Sounds like you’ve got quite the important job, then! Hope ya get paid well.
