Angel- y'bloody nuisance ta society, I told ya ta wait until after-

[There's an exasperated sigh followed by a fond chuckle as the video shakes before it's adjusted appropriately. The view is Joker's room and the ringleader in question is actually dressed rather casually for once. A t-shirt and jeans for once, none of his usual makeup... And is his hair actually slick with dark hair dye that a Gardevoir seems to be fussing over?]

[Well. At least Joker seems amused as he shakes his head and Angel the Mime Jr. bounces into frame besides him.]

Cheeky lil' thing. Anyway! Ladies, gentleman, and every other manner a folk that have found themselves in this delightful place...

The Eve's Garden Circus is comin' upon its one year anniversary! That means this month's shows will be even bigger and grander than ever before~. I even have plans ta have fireworks go off during the night, plus a little somethin' extra. Call it... a game a hide and seek, if ya like.

I'll be attachin' some things ta my Litleo and let 'em loose throughout the circus grounds. If ya can catch one, or at least get the prize off their collar, then you'll get a prize! With a few grand prizes, too, if yer lucky. [He gives a wink.] For anyone who works for me, ya can give it a shot too. Wouldn't want ya ta miss out on the fun.

[Stretching his arms over his head, Joker laughs.]

I wanted ta make this a more official sorta announcement, instead a y'all seein' me like this- [He gestures vaguely to his hair situation, the Gardevoir batting away his fingers before they can touch the dye.] -but Angel didn't 'ave the patience ta wait.

Anyway, I'm bein' bullied ta take care a this, so I'll let Invidia handle one last piece a business.

[And the Gardevoir gently pushes her trainer along out of the frame. Sure enough, there's another person taking Joker's place- anyone familiar with his Zoroark can tell it's Invidia using his preferred human illusion.]

Ah... Ahem. For the following, you're cordially invited to an after-show dinner on Eve's Garden's anniversary: Jimmy Two-Shoes, Wrath, Chihiro Fujisaki, Ronald Knox, William T. Spears, Snake, Tensai, Maka Albarn, Denzel Crocker, Jack Skellington, Riku, Ilyasviel von Einzbern, Tobias, Jimmy Darling, France, the Okumura brothers, Miss Meridiana Everett, Yasuhiro Hagakure, Veronica Madaraki, Envy, Lust, Molly Walker, and Killua Zoldyk.

Snake looks thoughtful, as if considering. His hair is white after all. Zola makes a squeaking sound and wraps herself around Snake's head.

[Joker chuckles.]

Gettin' ideas?

[Zola shouts in protest, but Snake shrugs. He might be getting some ideas. He wonders if he could look more normal with darker hair.]

Well, if ya ever want ta give it a try, we can always go ta the store together. Didn't know half a what ta do with it, but fortunately I got good help.

[Thank god for Myra the Gardevoir.]

What about makeup? asks Letilita says Zola.

For you or me?

Me, says Letitia, says Zola. [Meaning the pokèmon wants the make-up, but of course that doesn't make it clear at all.]

[Well, that's... a bit of a twister, but Joker puzzles it out after a moment.]

Well, we can sure give it a shot, now, can't we?

[Snake pets the fish's head with a hint of a smile,] Letitia likes being as beautiful as she can, says Zola.

Well, nothin' wrong with that~! When we have a bit a spare time, we can all go together, how about that?

[Letitia jumps and spins in excitement.] Ah, it has to be waterproof, says Quincey.

Ah, that's right, they make that sorta thing, don't they? Done, then. We'll find some that are waterproof, just for you.

Thank you, Joker! says Letitia says Zola.

No problem~. After all, we're family, ain't we?

[Letitia hides behind Zola in her shyness.] Y-yes, says Letitia says Zola.
