...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?

[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.

[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.]

[pipers_son]

[That's fine- Joker really only ever expects himself to know every face they work with.]

Name's Ilya- she's our singer, got the big stone reptile bird.

[silentscales]

[Snake nods. One of his pokèmon begins chattering. Apparently the Ekans remembered something about her, since Snake nods again.] I should thank her, says Elizabeth.

[pipers_son]

I think ya would like her. No harm in a chat at some point, right?

[silentscales]

[Snake blushes a bit. Talking? To a girl.

[Gaskell makes a teasing sound while bumping his head against Snake's shoulder.]

It could be nice, says Gaskell.

[pipers_son]

I know it would. [Joker chuckles.] Maybe after one of our next shows, I'll introduce ya. Think that would make it easier?

[silentscales]

[Snake nods. If they are a member of the circus, then they were family. It might be odd meeting her at first, but she can't be too scary if Joker let her into the circus.]

[pipers_son]

Next time, then. I'm sure they'll love ta get ta know ya.

[silentscales]

[Snake is quiet and blushes, turning the scales on his cheeks slightly pink with white where the scales meet each other.] Thank you, Joker.

[pipers_son]

[His smile softens a little.] We're family, aren't we? I'll look after ya.

[silentscales]

[Snake nods again, not having anything else to say.]

[pipers_son]

Don't be afraid ta give me a call anytime now, got it?

[silentscales]

[He nods again and ends the feed with a bit of a smile in his eyes.]
