-sure it's workin'? Ah, there it is!

[A Mime Jr. sounds off triumphantly.]

This is Joker! And Angel, a course. [A chuckle.] If ya need ta chat with me, I'll answer soon as I can.

[pipers_son]

I never stop!

[Hopping to his feet, he grins wider.]

So where do ya want ta start?

[foolishwren]

Well...

_{[She rubs the back of her neck.]}

I've been, y'know, thinking about stuff that I can contribute that wouldn't involve, like... too much training...

There's the parkour thing, and I can also ride.

... Like, you know, horses.

I have a Rapidash-- you've seen her, back in Pewter.

[pipers_son]

Heh, I think I remember a bit about a Rapidash.

[And they totally haven’t pretended to be jousting or anything while on their Rapidashes, no, never.]

[Still, that’s giving him some ideas, and Joker taps his chin thoughtfully.]

What about…. Combinin’ the two? Like, ya could ride though an obstacle course set up in the ring, while at the same time doin’ some tricks while on her back and such. That make sense?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[THAT TOO. Good times.]

[Heather grins, almost bashfully. Which isn't a look she wears too often.]</sub>

I was kind of thinking of something like that.

I haven't delved into stunt riding too much, but... I think I could probably pull it off, with a little practice.

[pipers_son]

Well, there’s no time like the present ta learn!

[THEN IT’S DECIDED. He already looks excited.]

We can have ya come in after the other folks do their practices, what do ya think? And ya won’t have ta worry about fallin’ off and gettin’ too injured- we got some psychic types ta take care of that.

[foolishwren]

--psychic types to break the fall, huh?

Well, that'll be a change up from the norm. Usually when I fall, I just eat dirt.

_{[She says it with humor-- Joker's enthusiasm is kind of contagious.]}

So, when should Carousel and I come in for the first practice?

[pipers_son]

Ya got it~.

[And, he has to say, while he of course has all the normal safety measures in place, especially for things like the trapeze acts… Well, psychic Pokemon like his Angel or “Team Safety Net” are a godsend for a circus.]

We can start up as soon as ya like- even tomorrow. All that depends on is if ya need time ta prepare yerself.

[foolishwren]

_{[And honestly, thank god. Because, given some of the people who work here, it's pretty much a guarantee that without those extra measures, there would be at least a few snapped necks and broken backs. Fuckin' daredevils.]}

I can do tomorrow.

I've got everything I need.

[pipers_son]

[Trust him- he knows all about reckless daredevil jackasses. He’s been in this business for a while.]

Great~! Then show up after everyone else’s practice. Just wear somethin’ sensible, and that should be all ya need. We have the rest here.
