[For once, Joker doesn't take as long as he usually does. Usually he's all flash and attention, wanting to get the Circus' name out at all times, but this time it's rather plain. There's the makeup, because there always is, but everything else is rather simple. A simple white button up and some slacks look almost strange for Joker going out on any sort of business.]
[The rest of his usual troupe is trailing behind him as well, of course, with Angel on Lightning's back since she's still not up for walking.]
[Jimmy's got a bit more of a spring in his step now than he did when he first arrived, a bit less worried about things now that he knows that he and Joker are on the same page. And after all, he did really like helping Jack run his haunted house during Halloween. How could watching after it year round be that much different?]
[Good thing that both their strides are ridiculously long, eh? Still, it's a bit of a trip, and Joker glances down to Jimmy as they make their way to Jack's place.]
So, got any idea of how ta handle the place yet, or do ya think yer gonna need a while?
[He hums a little in thought as he thinks that over, looking down at his sneakers as they walk.]
Well, in the letter, Jack left me a guide and floor plans for the mansion. Oh, and his Murkrow too.
[He looks back over at Edgar as he says that, who still appears very nonplussed, but more sad than anything else as she sits on his shoulder.]
I'm not really sure exactly what I'm gonna do yet though. I just know that I want to have it open on Halloween, no matter what. That's what Jack wanted, and all. And I'll prolly let the Pokemon I don't have traveling with me stay there with the other ghosts sometimes if they want...just so the others don't get lonely, yaknow?
Maybe when I have a bit a spare time, I'll see if I can find any folks who wouldn't mind workin' at it durin' the season... So long as they're still 'round, at any rate.
[He nods, looking over as he feels Leader brush up against his side. There was no need to worry about people leaving. It wasn't something he could control...he just had to keep reminding himself of that.]
That sounds like a good idea. I can help you! It'll be easier to spread the word if we're both doing it.
[His excitement is contagious, and Joker finds himself laughing even as the mansion starts to come into view.]
Then it's settled! Even when yer off travelin', I can send ya pictures a the paperwork we do and how we get it all organized and the like. Sound good? And when yer around, I can show it ta ya personal.
Sure is...it's spooky even when it's not Halloween...
[Jimmy muses as he slowly steps inside, just in time to see Edgar land on a banister nearby. Jimmy can almost feel eyes watching him- the ghost Pokemon that Jack left behind, no doubt.]
[The man sure knows how to make an atmosphere. Joker steps in as well, glancing about the place before he clears his throat and takes in a deep breath.]
HULLO! WE'RE GONNA BE THE FOLKS TAKIN' CARE A THINGS FROM HERE ON OUT!
[There's an audible rustling sound that follows Joker's call as the Pokemon shift in surprise. But as his voice echoes they seem to get a bit braver...not that they're coming out entirely in broad daylight. It's hard to miss some Noibat hanging from the rafters though, likely leftovers from the great swarm of August 2k14.]
Wooow...I wonder how many Pokemon are actually in here?

I'd love that, Joker!

Good news is, judging by some a the last conversations me and ol' Jack had, at least not twenty Noibat. So there's that.
