[open] ring the bells that still can ring
Who: Joker and you
What: All's fun and games, but the Performers still need to work. Joker occupies himself with that, and maybe a few other things. Like cooking. Or sunbathing.
Where: The Big Tent, the cookhouse, trailers, and eventually the lake
When: Days 145 - 152
Warnings: Potential talk of trauma? But nothing more than that
A - Time to Work
[It's over the Performance Department's channel on the radio that Joker's voice buzzes through.]
While it's all well and good ta take a break, this is a reminder for folks ta get practice in. We won't be doin' real impressive shows for a while, probably, but that just means it's more important ta keep practicin' for when we move on from the Summerlands.
Any problems or questions, come find me in the Big Top. Oh, and we got some new folk in, in case ya haven't seen yet.
[Sure enough, Joker can be found in the ring, bouncing around making sure people are doing fine, practicing some tricks himself... All sorts. He'll come over the second he sees someone enter.]
B - Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle
[In the cookhouse today? Well, you'll find Joker getting to work, apparently mashing up all sorts of fruits, getting their juices.... Of course, with the one arm problem, sometimes this means needing to get inventive.... Are his feet shoeless? Don't worry about it.]
[Later on, Joker is bouncing from trailer to trailer, leaving jars of jelly and jam for everyone. Why? Well, you'll have to stop him to find out.]
C - Lost in Thought
[Joker knows a lot of people in the Summerlands, what, with the carnival already having visited it once before and Joker being... himself. So it's of no surprise that throughout the carnival's stay, he's often gone into the city, chatted with just about everyone, and acted as if he's perfectly fine.]
[On occasion, however....]
[Those who go to the carnival's lake will find him trying to push what looks like a.... blow-up rubber floating thing out onto the lake's surface with his feet, Feathers the Dartix trying to help him along. Joker is notably not wearing any actual swimwear... besides, like, his usual atrocious mash up of 'modern' fashion.]
[Later on, if no one interrupts him on shore, Joker is out in the water proper, but not... really messing around. He's just sprawled along the pool float stomach-first, his wings stretched out completely and partially in the water. Occasionally the water carries him a little closer to shore- perfectly within talking distance.]

[But only halfway, her hands darting out to catch his ankles before she falls completely off the raft. How long she can hang on is another story, but she's still celebrating.]
Ha! Gotcha!!
no subject
But not for long!
[....Probably. Maybe.]
no subject
Nooooo!!
[She's fluent in dramatic lines now.]
no subject
[A small person is hanging onto him! For casual laying flying, the rate of his wings sure isn't enough. Joker flaps harder, just to make sure he can stay aiborn.]
Ya won't take me down, ya determined little fox!
no subject
[She braces her feet on Joker's hips, and propels herself into a flip. She's going to land on this float, it's going to be epic, it's going to be impressive.]
[She hits it stomach-first and bounces into the water.]
no subject
[Being used as a springboard isn't generally something Joker goes through, but it's not as if he can really stop Doll with their positions as they are. His wings flap hastily to regain his balance, and he's just in time to watch as Doll smacks right into the float.]
[A good big brother probably wouldn't burst out laughing as hard as Joker does. To his credit, he does ta least try to pay enough attention to tell if she's going to resurface, even as he's howling with laughter and tears prick at his eyes.]
no subject
[And stays there. All stretched out.]
no subject
So, how'd that work out for ya, huh?
no subject
[Just as planned. No really. Really. That was definitely... why she bounced off it...]
no subject
Ya had it all ta yerself before ya went flyin'.
