Souls aren't toys, they're currency.
A woman in an odd outfit walked to the center of the park. She looked around dramatically.
"Such a bland world.... All these children... Why must they live in such a bland place...."
"They are happier now... I can guarantee them and their parents that... Oh how the color red makes everything better..."
"Such innocence...."
"Children these days know nothing about cruelty... and hatred.... and unhappiness... Such a shame..." the lady said to herself, clutching her umbrella. Her heels clicked on the ground as she walked past the happy family.
Another woman looked at her, probably the toddler's mother.
The original woman held her umbrella, a tear shining from her eye. "Don't worry little one... Happiness will soon come... The beautiful color red will shine brightly against the moon's ominous light...."
"Tophet! Where have you been all day?" asked a man, in really odd shoes.
"Oh my... There you are Joker... I was wondering when we would meet again..." answered the woman, named Tophet.
"Yes...Well... I unfortunately could have used you earlier. " replied the man, Joker.
"For what?.... Did something happen, Joker?"
"Ugh.... Look at the moon. Such a waste of light and energy... Nothing is truly magnificent about it...."
"I just wanna punch it in it's stupid face!"
"Calm down my love... True beauty lies in the color red... You should know that..."
"Whatever....What news do you have on the children?..."
"Why ask a question if you know the answer already?.... my love..."
"Oh miss Tophet Tightrope..."
"You annoy the crap outta me with your drama, I mean seriously. Why are you so dramatic, take a chill pill.... or a whole bottle for all I care..."
"Joker my love, you know you don't mean that...."
"Yes... Yes... I know... The moon annoys me to no end... That's all... I apologize..."
"It's alright, my love, The children have been taken care of... The new ones shall be chosen tomorrow..."
"Excellent... But we might have hit a snag...." Joker holds his head sadly.
"My love... The color blue is not for you... What has you troubled?..."
"I've been observing a new reporter for the local news... Her name is Leefah... She seems to be investigating the children..."
"..................................."
"LET ME GUESS?! YOU LOVE HER?! ALL MEN ARE THE SAME I SWEAR!"
"Now now, calm down. That was incorrect..."
"I want you to watch over her, analyze her movements.... She may be a threat to us..."
"Oh... So you want me to watch the skank for you?.... What if I decided to paint her the truly most beautiful color ever.... Red.... As red as the ripest apple of the most beautiful of trees...." She leans in and whispers into Joker's ear.
"This woman will not be a threat to you... My love... I will take care of her... I will follow the orders of you my love... She will not stop you..."
"Excellent...." Joker whispered, and let out an evil laugh.
"Oh my love... your laugh is truly beautiful...."
Atlas looked at his nails and became surprised, looking towards the top of the hill, the center of Monte Vista.
"So.... This is where it'll get interesting...."
Main Events:
- Joker and Tophet Tightrope debut
- Tophet and Joker have something to do with the kidnappings
Trivia:
- Joker's personality and tone change every few diologues, more than likely due to his insane trait.
- Tophet speaks very formally, throughout the episode, and constantly comments everything having to due with the color red.
- This is the first, and so far only, chapter to not have Leefah physically, though she is talked about by Tophet
