[Julien barely gets to quietly says those words before there's a return song, almost as if planned.]
Midnight hour is almost over. Time is running out for the magic pair. I know you gave the best you have, but one more chance couldn't be all that hard.
Wait for me, please.
["Magic", but "divine", and it's not only for Julien that he's speaking of. Whatever must be done, Joker knows that it has to be done soon. There's a reason, there must be, that his memory is so foggy, and that their own have been taken in such a cruel mocking way. It's like Cinderella, of that he doesn't doubt: all this magic will wear off sooner or later, and they need to be out by then.]
[Julien might be right in that he can't do anything... at least here, just singing. It was worth the good old college try, but he doesn't have what it takes for this.]
[But outside? If he can just slip away? Joker isn't sure how well it might work, but there's no telling until he tries...]
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating, but you've got a lot to learn if you think I'm not waiting for you.
[Only he's going to do more than wait. Joker's decided on that now. Even if the Ringmaster doesn't want to do anything- and he feels that she has to, it's one of the things that they share in common that theirs are theirs- he sure as hell will. What? Well, he's not sure yet. But they have a lot of interesting folks at the carnival... and he's pretty sure the Prince is far too smug and boring to realize what they can really do.]
[So he'll finish up his song, letting the notes carry, before he goes off in search of quite a few different people... before, eventually in the night.... just vanishing.]
