[brief flickering and the video screen successfully pops up!]

These new machines always do get the best of me.

If someone could direct me to the North Pole then I would most appreciate it.

[note: Santa will know the names of all characters that have Christmas in their world! HE'S SO WATCHING YOU]

[The video clicks on to a close up of Joker's red grin, it shakes as he reaches forwards, placing it on the desk. He's clearly in the library sitting in a chair in the middle of the room. His makeup and dirty purple suit is mostly intact, and he slicks back his greasy hair when it falls in front of his eyes.]

Well hello there.

You know, I thought. I thought I was in Arkham, but this place is very, very different from my cell. [His gaze flickers about the room.] It certainly is much nicer than my cell in that dreadful place. [He grins.]

So tell me, [he licks his lips] where are we? Hm? What is this place? Who's in charge? Who thinks they're in charge? Ahmm. Don't be shy. Tell the Joker all about your rules.

[just.this face. a very familiar yet extremely feminine face.]

[Chrome has been released from her restraints now. But what she was hearing about last night...wasn't exactly settling.

Mukuro's not here. But she still needs to do some things. Of course, checking little things like maps would be logical, and we can't have that. So she's finally stopped at the observation deck.

...A little help would probably be good.]

...Excuse me...Um.

...A prison?

[The girl who's managed to turn on the communicator is tiny, and seems a bit dazed. There are faint smudges on her communicator--it seems like she originally had it on over her eyepatch, which is really a bit silly.]

...Excuse me...is anyone named 'Rokudo Mukuro' here...?

[If it's a prison, it's worth looking, even if she can't sense him, right?]
