WE DID IT!
[That sure is Joker popping up on the screen, a grin nearly splitting his face apart and his face nearly flushed with excitement. There sure is a lot of excitement going on in the screen- a crying Mime Jr. being held by Goldenrod Gym Leader Whitney, a Gallade puffing himself up proudly, a Gardevoir clapping her hands cheerily, and a Charizard flying around at speeds that could make anyone dizzy. Good thing these gyms sure are large, huh?]
[Coughing once into his hand, Joker seems to reign himself in a bit although he's still grinning widely. He takes a step back, making it apparent that someone else is holding up the 'Gear.]
Grand news, everyone! Thanks ta the lovely Whitney over here- [Who's still cooing and cuddling a Mime Jr., for the record. Those are tears of joy on its little clown face, everyone, we promise.] -we're backed! Now, backed for what, ya may be askin'?
A proper circus here in beautiful Goldenrod!
I know some a ya have never experienced the wonders a good circus can do for ya, so look forward to an openin' in April! Date's still a bit foggy but I'll let ya know when things clear up a bit! That said!
I need some talent- or a willingness ta learn if ya don't think ya got any. Acrobats, knife throwers, clowns, the works! If ya know some tricks, tell me 'bout 'em and we might be able ta strike up a deal! I'm willin' ta all sortsa things~. An' if any a ya know some medical or technical, I'd like ta talk ta ya too.
We're also acceptin' donations, if ya would like ta see this get done a wee bit quicker~. Or if yer just feelin' generous with all that P burnin' through yer pocket!
[A whistle, and the chaos seems to subside a bit. Angel the Mime Jr. hops down from Whitney's arms to go off-screen for a second, dragging back with her a little Ralts. The group shifts a bit, until it's Joker in the center of the shot with the Gallade and Gardevoir on either side of him a bit back. Angel and Ralts go in front of him, the Mime Jr. much more excited looking than her companion (who's still smiling just not as much).]
[With a flourish, Joker gives a bow and the rest of his Pokemon follow suit.]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, folks who ain't quite what they seem-
The Eve's Garden Circus will be comin' ta ya soon! We'll be sure ta shock and amaze and make ya laugh. One thing's fer certain, whether you're joinin' in on the fun or plan ta be there in the stands-
Nothin' will be borin' for sure.
[Private to Mayuri and Snake]
[This comes a few minutes later, Joker still grinning wide.]
We should celebrate tonight!

Congratulations on getting backing! I'm not sure of the next time I'll be in town, so I can't promise my personal services to you just yet. However, I can help monetarily as we've discussed. How much are you looking at for a starting budget?
[Video]
I got some ideas on how ta work around that little problem, don't ya worry! Anyway, glad ta hear yer still interested. Don't wanna drain ya for all yer worth especially since yer bein' so kind. How much can ya spare?
[Video]
I can certainly spare a lump sum of fifty-thousand. Would that be enough?
[Video]
That'd be more than! Nearly can't thank ya enough.
[Video]
[He grins brightly.]
No need to thank me. It's so wonderful to think that the next time I'm in Goldenrod I'll have a show to look forward to! Should I transfer the money directly to your or do you have a business account?
[Video]
Oh yeah, just got it all set up not too long ago. It's under the Circus' name.
[Video]
[There's a pause while France fiddles around with the banking application on the 'Gear. Joker should expect to see a deposit for P50,000 once the transfer finishes processing!]
Is there a story behind that name?
[Video]
'Sides, all the cities named after flowers and our situation, seemed appropriate ta name it somethin' like that.
[Video]
[France hums lightly, his eyes flickering as a poem comes to mind.]
"In the Garden of Eden, planted by God,
There were goodly trees in the springing sod,—
Trees of beauty and height and grace,
To stand in splendor before His face."
Or so Canada's Carman would say. He's always been a bit sweeter than me. I have a poet who is known for his discourse of flowers, and he speaks more of Eve than Eden. Which or both do you mean to evoke?
[Video]
Anyway, far as I was concerned, Eden didn't seem like much without Eve pokin' 'round. Suppose that sounds a bit blasphemous, dunnit?
[Video]
[France chuckles.]
Blasphemous or not, it's likely quite true.
