we've got heads on sticks, you've got ventriloquists

[Look, dressing room, it's the Joker again. He's standing in his very purple coat, looking mildly irked, shuffling a deck of cards idly to keep his hands busy. If one were to look closely, they might notice that the entire deck was composed of jokers.]

Where oh where are my cards?

(ooc: anyone else is free to pester as well)

[He found them, and Joker's looking to end some lives... Dare you challenge that?]

Comments

[where there is a wielder looking for them, the cards will appear. all of them at once, because they move as a pack 90% of the time.

Queen waves and gives a little smirk.] You called?

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Mm, Queen, right? [He gives her a little grin, then looks over the rest of them, his smile fading a little. He is not displeased with them, though, no.]

I need to talk to you all about a few things...

[upthesleeves.livejournal.com]

You're catching on already. [another smirk, then a raised eyebrow as his expression changes. all of them kind of glance at each other uncertainly before fixing their attention back on him.]

Alright, shoot.

[You know what? Have a few more weapons to talk to. Right now Jamie, the elected leader of the eight knife sisters, is carrying her sisters and walking by. And she's gonna have to stop and stare at you. Raising an eyebrow.]

[He's run into a few different Larxenes since his arrival and gotten a variety of reactions from them, so have that stare returned.]

Can I help you?

[newblades.livejournal.com]

[he takes note of Axel as he wanders past, although really the ice cream he's nursing is more interesting.]

Nice hair.

[an off-handed comment, and he fixes his gaze on the stick in his mouth.]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Nice--... Thanksss. [pauses in the card-shuffling]

Wanna see a trick?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[staring at you with a bag of candy in his other hand.]

Cards?

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Yes, cards... [leans down to eye level with this one.] What's your name?

[snowy-end.livejournal.com]

Well hey there~! What'cha up to?

[will just be popping up in front of him.]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Hey! What did I tell you about startling me? [tsk tsk, finger wag.]

[schemingmirror.livejournal.com]

...Another odd Axel.

Why am I not surprised.

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

[Frustrated sigh]

How many times do I have to tell you people?! I am the JOKER. [Here, have his card. Sure, it's just a playing card, but it's got his name on it. Nevermind those knives in his hands, he's just planning to go on a killing spree.]

[redchesspiece.livejournal.com]

[watching curiously and wobbling on those jointed legs]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Doll-face! [He remembers her!]

[awakingalone.livejournal.com]

[this one is strange. So he's going to stare. Bad staring problem is bad]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

[He's staring back. You must have a deathwish.]

[cellblocked.livejournal.com]

[...oh lord, why did he come down this hallway? About face as quietly as he can]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you don't. Joker saw you, and he's headed right for you.]

Hello there...

late post is late.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

...What are you supposed to be, some kind of clown?

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Clown? No, I'm the Joker! My card, [He slides over to her, holding out a regular playing card--the joker.]

What are you supposed to be?

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

[the only reason he even pauses upon sighting the Joker is because the colour scheme seems awfully familiar, though for the life of him he can't remember why.]

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

... [Joker doesn't mind being stared at, but he's gonna stare right back.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, there's a familiar brunet trailing over from the sight of green hair. Flipping the card he was given earlier with a smile on his face as he walked over to greet the other.]

How have you been holding up in this place?

Hmm.. To scar for life (emotionally?) or keep up this pleasant farce...

[jokeraxel.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey there Sora! [He'll just be slyly tucking those knives away for the moment, then.]

I'm all right, I suppose. Bored. How are you doing?
