[A Mime Jr. sounds off triumphantly.]

[Jimmy snickers, ducking his head a little when Joker puts his hand on it.]

Heh, you really think I'm capable?

[pipers_son]

'Course ya are. I mean, you've been around long enough and watched me get things set up plenty a times, haven't ya?

But if ya like, I can start teachin' ya more about how ta run the circus. Help get ya prepared for the haunted house.

[awesmazings]

That would be awesmazing!

[HOLY CRAP he hasn't pulled out the catchphrase in some time, that's how you know he's stoked.]

I'd love that, Joker!

[pipers_son]

[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.

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods eagerly, pushing his hands into his pockets.]

Okay! I've never done anything like that before, but I can give it a shot!

[pipers_son]

It's fine. Got any questions, and I'll answer 'em. S'what I'm here for, innit?

[awesmazings]

Yup! Now c'mon, let's go check out that mansion!

[pipers_son]

Well then...

[Coming up to the front door, Joker gives a wry grin.]

It's yers, now. Do the honors.

[awesmazings]

[He nods, pulling out that skeleton key to fit into the lock. The moment the door opens, Edgar jumps from his shoulder and wings her way inside.]

[pipers_son]

[Joker gives a low whistle, sticking his head inside.]

Well, just as grand as I remember it bein' from last year.

[awesmazings]

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.]

[pipers_son]

Just how Jack likes it, 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!

[awesmazings]

[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?

[pipers_son]

Well...

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