A year-long entr'acte is enough, don'tcha think? The crazy crime clown is rested, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Now all I need is an audience. Without an audience around to drive crazy, what's the point in being crazy? I'd just be some old kook screaming at an empty house and that's no fun at all.

On the contrary, I'd rather you were more selfish.

[ace_of_knaves]

Alas, it is in my nature to give. My adoring public is out there somewhere and they need me.

[ryuuzaki]

You sound very convinced of your appeal, for someone who isn't sure of the precise location of his audience.

I'm not sure your act will go over well with the critics.

[strongestcoward]

Madness is not a thing for others! It is a thing for oneself!

[ace_of_knaves]

If you have something in abundance you share it with the townspeople. That's just good manners.

[strongestcoward]

Everyone already contains madness. It needs only wake up!

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Murder on you crazy, crazy clown.

[ace_of_knaves]

Well, I would hate to disappoint my fans....

[soangryicouldtinkle]

And I'm your biggest fan!

Well, biggest fan after Harley because I don't touch myself to the thought of your murders...

...often.

A year is quite the long rest for you. What's wrong? Not enjoying retirement, old man?

[ He can afford to be a little bit cocky. Yes he can. ]

[ace_of_knaves]

Oh, it was fun for a little while. Sleeping in, eating bachelor chow, watching my programs all day....

Then I started to miss the rush of performing. Yanno, going for months with no laughter and no screams just didn't do it for me.

I'm a man of the world, Big Blue. Gotta keep busy.

[kal_el]

You're right. It wouldn't do not to keep active. But aren't you part of a double act? It would be a miserable world that had to put up with nothing but a sad clown.

Has any place in particular caught your eye?

[drivewiththetopoff]

What point in an audience without a story, a fairy tale?

[ace_of_knaves]

Yeah!

...What?

[drivewiththetopoff]

Give them a story they'll never forget, a glimpse of something eternal.

Soon enough they become players in the story of your own making.

[awakenings]

Don't tell me you're having an existential crisis now.

[ace_of_knaves]

Wee bit.

How's it going, poppet? Miss me?

[awakenings]

Like I'd miss a hole in the head.

[questionslinger]

I'm sure you'll find some place to go. You always do.

[ace_of_knaves]

It's true. Finding a spot to settle down for a spell is always so much easier when you don't have to deal with all those cumbersome laws people toss around.

[questionslinger]

Wouldn't you be bored without some opposition?

[chiroptophobic]

Nobody cares for your variety of fun, Joker.

[ace_of_knaves]

Darling. Right on time, I was starting to get worried you wouldn't show up.

[darknessiknow]

And yet such a fate is deserving of those who bask in crime's fruit.

[States the voice resonating from nowhere.]

[ace_of_knaves]

Oh no the voices are back.
