Oh Tom, he was a piper's son~
He learnt to play when he was young~
And the only tune that he could play~
Was Over the Hills and Far Away~

Over the hills and a long way off~
The wind shall blow my top-knot off...

[For those who are still up at midnight and tuning into the network, they'll hear that little bit of poetry. Joker, seated on a bed with a glass of wine in his hand and looking out at the rainy streets, starts to hum the rest. He notices something, however, and turns to face the camera. For once he's not actually wearing any makeup.]

Angel, why'd ya go and turn that on? Don't think too many folks are awake. [He gives an amused shake of his head.] Ah well- it's on, it's on.

Feels a bit strange ta celebrate another birthday! [Especially considering, y'know, he's dead.] But here we are~. Forgot ta mention it any earlier. But don't worry- for all of ya in the Circus, we can celebrate it if ya like after our next show later. Just a day, yeah?

I'd be just fine with well wishes, 'tho.

[He makes a vague gesture with his hand to Angel to have the 'Gear be clicked off.]

[Pick a subject, Gamzee, gosh!]

[Joker looks a bit amused, however, grinning wide and now joined by Angel in his lap when he turns on the 'Gear again.]

[ he can't it's everything he loves and it's too much for his head to pick just one!!! ( if he remembers, he'll get back to it though . . . ) ]

Ahah, whoa— Ringleader? [ haha oh my god he's so amazed right now he's practically admiring joker's name like the most beautiful bottle of faygo your name is joker ]

You don't know how tight you're all up and being right now — Can't top that shit if I tried.

[ he's staring contently at angel with peaceful eyes, and leaning towards miracle that's taking a seat next to him, giving him a few friendly elbow pokes. ]

Check it— Motherfucker looks just like you, bro! [ haha, insane. back to introductions-! ]

Call me Gamzee, friend. It's the sickest of fuckin' intros I'm pleased to be makin' part of. [ honk :o) like literally something just honked ( spoiler, there's a clown horn in his back pocket. ) ]

Fuck— [ the sound makes him jump a little; the sound is easily alarming— but with realization of what it was he just kind of shifts back into position. right he put that there a while ago . . . ]

Now how can a clown be makin' his way there?

[No one else has ever had this reaction to him before, and Joker is now endlessly amused. His grin spreads even wider when he sees the kid has a Mime Jr. of his own- the only other one he's seen here in Johto. Definitely a good start to a friendship, yeah?]

Just gotta follow the routes, my friend! Once ya get ta Violet, one of the paths can gte ya ta Goldenrod fairly quick- quicker if ya got a Pokemon friend that'll let ya ride it.

Got it, yo.

[ he nods, slowly and eyes all the more relaxed. which means he didn't actually get it and / or he'll just forget which route to take when he gets there, alas . . .

he looks down at miracle and stares a good long while— in which miracle just kind of goes uhhh. it wouldn't take anyone that long to connect the dots that mime jr = no riding, but you have to add his usual spacing out in between . . . he then takes the same amount of time glancing blankly out the window.

finally he gets some words out. ]

Whoa, sorry— Uhh . . . [ he holds his arms up and gives a shrug. ]

Don't think any of 'em are big enough motherfuckers.
