And a good mornin' ta everyone~.

[There's Joker, smiling like usual and with his hair still dark. He's a bit more done up than he was the last time he turned on his Pokegear.]

So! First off, a bit a business for anyone lookin' for work. As always, the circus is always open ta folks who'd like ta run stalls or participate in any a the acts. We could always use folks who know their way around all this fancy tech or who can patch folks up just in case. However! This is for the future.

Ta be exact, October. Our good friend Jack has left the haunted house in the care of Jims and me, but two folks does not a haunted house make! So if yer interested in that sorta work, let me know, and we can see how things are come October!

Secondly, bit more personal, but beyond breedin', any recommondations for where ta fish for good water types and the like?

Think that's- [He breaks off as a Zoroark paw reaches from off screen and taps his shoulder.] Ah, before I forget. My Invidia has a problem he'd like some outside opinions on. Don't know what it is, he ain't keen on tellin' me just yet. Let me know if ya would like ta have a chat with 'im.

Y'know, back home, I was a pretty scary guy. Could give your spook house a shot.

_{[Being a bad guy and all.]}

[video]

[pipers_son]

Sure ya could handle the extra work load? Wouldn't want ta tire ya out after all.

[video]

[rocketralph]

How hard could it be? Hide around a corner, pop out 'n yell boo at folks.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

He left me a note too, saying to keep an eye out for anyone scary, and to do the costumes and makeup again. Haven't met anyone yet who I didn't know already, but I'll keep looking.

[He'd suggest Wrath, honestly, but they're still not getting along. Maybe he'll ask Greed or Heather if they'd be interested...]

I could talk to Invidia too, about whatever it is.

[pipers_son]

Thank ya kindly! We'll keep an eye for folks as well. Can't wait ta see some a yer designs again~.

Anyway! Here's Invidia.

[With that settled, he hands over the 'Gear to the Zoroark and makes his way out of his personal tent. He understands privacy when it's needed.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

[And there's Invidia! There's a pause before a shimmer of light goes over him, and he's in his usual preferred human disguise.]

Hello, Envy.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy grins and gives Joker a casual mock-salute as he leaves, and then nods at Invidia.]

Hey, Invidia. So, what's going on?

[He likes giving advice to his fox buddy, so he'll try to be helpful about whatever it is.]

[Note: 'try'.]

[fairy_tale_trainer]

What kind of work? Is there a real haunted house?

[pipers_son]

Oh, Miss! Absolutely~. Filled with all sortsa ghouls and ghosts!

[He gives a teasing wink.]

We need someone ta help spook folks with 'em!

[silentscales]

My pokèmon can talk with him.

[pipers_son]

And not yerself?

[But it's just a tease, and Joker gives a grateful nod.]

We'll get 'im on the line then. Thanks for helpin', everyone.

[While Chihiro would love to help...that sort of thing just really isn't his cup of tea, unfortunately. Though he can answer the other portions of this video, at least.]

You might consider visiting Olivine City, if you haven't before. It's a very nice place, and it's near the beach...I'm sure you would be able to encounter a lot of water types there.

Also, um...I know a lot of people are already offering to help, but I'll listen to whatever Invidia has to say, too, if he would like.

[video]

[pipers_son]

I've been ta Olivine before, with Jims. It's where we picked up Robbie and Eliza. Couldn't hurt ta check it out again!

[Especially with how it's getting warm. A little beach fun could be nice. Maybe he'll make it a circus affair when the weather is clear.]

Oh, I'm sure he'd love that. Yer one a his favorite people, after all! If there's anyone who could help 'im out, it's you. Hopefully you can figure it out where I can't. Hold on a tic...

As the Super High School Level Animal Breeder, I would be more than happy to have one of my Pokemon divine the true nature of your illusionist's dilemma. That is, if you dare to enlist my services.

[Because Gundam Tanaka, spooky babbling, and so on.]

[video] - [text]

[pipers_son]

Well, by all means~. I'll leave 'im in yer expert hands then!

[Chuckling, Joker hands over the 'Gear to the Zoroark in question. He gives a wave to the camera before abruptly changing over to text.]

Hello again, Mister Gundam. You were here once before and then not. Has anyone told you that?

[diehardreaper]

joker trainer!
This is Grim.
Is Invidia ok

[ Ron really has to stop leaving his gear places his pokemon can get to. ]

[pipers_son]

hes fine!! just having a personal problem i think

[Video]

[wing_attack]

I might be able to help with the technology a little bit... no promises, though.

[... October, huh. He frowns a bit.]

I can't really help with the haunted house. I don't know much about them. But Olivine's right near the sea, so I guess there'd be a lot of water types there?

[He does not like the ocean, sorry Joker.]

And... I'm better with flying-types, but I might be able to help Invidia?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

A little bit is better than none at all! Been here a year now, and still don't get half a it. What do ya know how ta do?

And yeah, yer the second who's recommended Olivine. Seems like I'll be payin' it another visit.

[He'll put Invidia on after he gets some of this a bit more cleared up.]

[On the one hand, Banjou is the biggest weenie in the world. On the other, working in a haunted house would seem to be a better use of his time than pretending like he can battle.]

What kind of work would I need to do?

video;

[pipers_son]

Well, we could have ya sellin' the tickets, or welcome people in at the door, y'know, get the groups all organized and whatnot. Could be one a the spooks, too!

Last year, me and Jack got a carriage takin' people between the circus and the haunted house, so maybe we could have someone drive that too...

(Sansa is as prim and proper as ever. Cirrus, her Swablu, is resting on her shoulder, keeping an eye on her conversation.)

What sort of entertainment does your circus provide? (She doesn't like the sound of a haunted house, but if there are funny acts, everyone can use a laugh now and then.)

(Video)

[pipers_son]

Why, all sorts!

[In contrast, Joker is almost aggressively cheerful and friendly. His black hair in contrast to his more natural red almost seems like it's been spurring him to be even more of a vibrant personality than usual to make up for the lack of color.]

We're a world class establishment! We have stall after stall with games ya can try yer hand at for delightful prizes and all in good fun, along with all sortsa other little events littered here and there!

A course, it's our main show that's the real star a the evenin'~. Our talent can't be found anywhere else in Johto!

Our snake dancer is enthrallin', and our strong man could give most Pokemon a run for their money! Got a singer like a siren, a pair a trapeze artists that defy death with every go, and a clownish lad that could make any soul laugh.

The fishermen in Olivine keep saying they catch all these huge Pokemon off the coast here by the beach! They must all go really deep in Route 40, but I haven't found anything all that big surfing around there on Windwave. The biggest thing I saw was probably a Tentacruel or a Wailmer once or twice, but there's nothing as big as my Gyarados! If there's a place where you can find those I'd head there, but I haven't seen one yet! I'll keep you posted, though!

A haunted house sounds pretty cool, though! You're gonna need to make sure it's super scary!

[pipers_son]

Olivine, Olivine, Olivine! Seems like quite the place ta be. Guess I know where I'm off ta, then.

And oh Miss, ya won't have ta worry about that. [He winks.] Me and Jims have learned from the best on how ta make a good scare!
