...So. I mighta gotten a bit displaced with our last little fun weekend.

[The people Joker was traveling with probably know what he's talking about. Considering he sort of went missing for a while. Why? Well... He carefully holds up his hand, the wrist of which is bandaged up. There's a small ice pack sort of attached to it.]

When I got transported, all of a sudden like, I mighta lost my balance and... sprained my wrist a bit. [He's still smiling, as usual, but anyone good with expressions can probably pick up the small trace of are you bloody well kidding me annoyance on his face. He only has the one to rely on, after all.] I was a bit in the middle a nowhere ta boot. Guess whatever powers may be don't particularly like me, eh? Good thing Angel's been about ta help.

Joker, Jimms, sorry 'bout that. I'm in Cianwood right now. I'll try and get back ta ya when I can. Won't be ridin' for a while, that's for sure.

...Don't suppose there's a fancy future way ta fix a sprained wrist quicker, is there?

I don't know all that much about ways to make it fix quicker... well, aside from magical ways but we can't really do that here. Still, if you're in Cianwood, that's where I am too, so if you can think of anything you need I could lend you a hand.

[pipers_son]

Really? Well ain't that good luck~. We'll be sure ta keep ya in mind, then.

...Might need some new clothes, actually. Some a mine... got a bit lost.

[Video]

[dressofheaven]

Now that I can help you with. This city isn't Goldenrod but there are still a few places to get you some new clothes. If you meet me outside the Center I can take you to a store and help you grab a few things.

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Sounds good! I'll meet ya there then.

[Considering he's in the Center right now- he had to have a Nurse Joy help him with his wrist- it doesn't take very long for him to just pop outside. Angel is as present as ever, holding his wallet and his 'Gear.]

[Action]

[dressofheaven]

[She shows up in not too long, humming a little tune, and waves cheerfully at him as she comes closer.]

Hi Joker! I didn't expect to see you here... but then it sounds like you didn't expect to be here, huh?

[silentscales]

[Don't mind Snake staring at the screen with concern. He might not be saying anything, but he is willing to try to meet Joker part way.]

[pipers_son]

[Fortunately, he's getting good at reading Snake.]

Hey now, don't make that face! Just a lil' sprain, nothin' a bit a time won't fix. Not like it's been chopped clean off. [Ha ha.] But gettin' back might be a wee bit difficult on my own...

[silentscales]

[More staring.]

[pipers_son]

[Oh jeez, oh jeez.]

I'll manage, don't ya worry! Turns out someone else from the Circus is 'round here too. They're willin' ta help me out.

[silentscales]

[Snake tilts his head a bit, thinking of who he knew that could be there. Unfortunately he hasn't spoken with a lot of the people Joker managed to recruit, so no one comes to mind.]

[crackpotcrocker]

ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?!

[Crocker looks at the screen in concern and frantically goes though a list of Pokemon moves in his mind. Which can be seen as his eyes dart around.]

Yes, I've been told this place does that twice a year. I was wondering when it was going to happen again.

No. No. NO! NO!

Afraid I can't think of one.

You want us to wait for you here?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Hey hey, calm down now. Just a sprain, most it is is a bit a bother. Angel is acting as my hands for now.

[There's a confirmation from behind the 'Gear- that explains who's holding it and all.]

I wouldn't want ta hold ya! I know ya got yer 'second job' and all ta deal with. Snake might come by... and I might challenge the gym leader while I'm here just ta get it outta the way, Angel willing.

[Video]

[crackpotcrocker]

It's not a hold at all - BAH! What's that compared to the well-being of my friends?

[Yet, there's something that is telling Crocker he has to be loyal to the Team too. Blasted Rocket chip! And appears torn in-between on what to do.]

What to do? What to do? WHAT TO DO?!

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Calm down an' take deep breaths?

[Helpful yes?]

[Video]

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel does so and does calm]

Anything I can do for you?

[There's excruciation in his voice and face as well as a raised-brow.]

Aren't friends suppose to help each other?

[video]

[awesmazings]

Oh, no, don't worry about it! Are you alright?

[He wishes he could help, but he's no doctor either.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

Just a sprain! Ain't like it's broke or such so I should be fine in a bit. Been feelin' better since I've gotten inta town.

[video]

[awesmazings]

Oh...ok. If you're sure! Seems like a lot of people have been showin' up in weird places lately, huh?

[Jimmy himself didn't really feel any affects for some reason, though he can't imagine why...]

[video]

[pipers_son]

It's just one a those things that happens every now and then. This ain't the first time it's happened ta me while I've been here.

You'll get used ta it.

[video]

[awesmazings]

Does it happen a lot? Or just, kinda....whenever this place feels like it?

[video]

[soundmind]

By not moving it, putting ice on it like you did there, and elevating it above your heart for the first 48 hours. Since you're traveling, you probably don't have an elastic bandage to keep the swelling down, so you'll have to stick with ice and not moving it for now.

[She...sounds like this is something she's really experienced with.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

That's gonna be a tad hard since it's my only one... But I'll do my best. Thanks, Maka!

[video]

[soundmind]

[A sigh, she still sounds exasperated--like some family member did something stupid (though technically one did but she doesn't acknowledge the circus family thing.)]

Do you...need a ride somewhere? I don't think my housemate will mind if I take a trip.

[video]

[pipers_son]

Awwww, I knew ya cared~! [Joker, don't jinx yourself.] I'll let ya know what happens- there's someone from the troupe here.

Want a souvenir?

[video]

[soundmind]

Don't patronize me, clown. I'm only asking because I'm over in Olivine and you're injured.

[Well that didn't last long.]
