The Jester//First Puppet Show//Video
[Oh, now here's a strangely familiar face. This concerned looking gentleman is sitting in the biodome alone, looking a bit awkward as he speaks to the camera, trying to speak without moving his lips too much.

How can you even sm-
I'm not weak! I'm just... well, maybe I'm not the most confident guy, but I'm doing my best.

Ah.
I'm sorry, it's on the tip of my tongue. I know we've met before...

Joker's puppet has orders straight from the top. No breaking of character whatsoever on pain of...

You're an experiment? I'm sorry, I don't think we've met. Mohinder Suresh. Did you wake with that?

Had a bit of a...hard time a while back. [The scars twist his face strangely as he smiles] Therapy helped, but a lot of it was pack up, start over. All I can remember of who I was is general details, and my stage name from when I was a comedian.
I don't think we have met. I know this place, I know...some of the people... But I woke up with this. I don't know.

A comedian? Ah, interesting. Perhaps we could use a bit of laughter in this place. It's good to meet you, Jack.
[He's curious about those scars, but he'd never ask.]

Maybe. Mostly I'm worried about the folks stuck here... the ones without any abilities to protect them. The people they've driven mad, whatever they've done... they're already hurting people.
And yet the superheroes and.. and knights in shining magic armor aren't doing a thing about it. They're hiding, like they always do.
[He sighs]
Don't you ever just wish you could do...something? Something special, like them, just for once.

Look. I got orders for this one. Make it seem like a new one of her little guests, see if we can get him in with one of the "hero" types, see how they react to their worst asshole totally oblivious and thrown at their mercy.
You think I'm tossing out orders straight from Her just to have a little bit of fun? You're crazy.
Besides, there's no way to fuck with this one anyway. He's here to fuck with everyone else.

Believable, human, confused... there's a whole damn backstory here for the nut, I don't even know if it's true. God, this is stressful.
And this part, right here? Where she says she'd "gratefully appreciate it if I stuck to the guidelines carefully?"
From her?
That's a death threat. Bet you a billion that's a death threat.

You look better with out all the makeup.

Hit my head? Not sure, but I can promise you the makeup covers up a lot. [He gives a little smile, the obscured scars stretching his face a little strangely.]
I had a bad time a while back. I just...try to put that behind me. It helps if it's not looking me in the mirror every day.

...Are you sure, because you're acting...weird. [Or normal. Since when was normal weird?]
...I think people would like you more without it. And if they don't, fuck them.

Oh god, what's in my room...
[He glances behind him]
No, no nononono, I...I went to therapy, I'm not sick anymore, they told me that was all done.
That's.. no.
No, I'm not, the scars, they're not, they're not me. [He's stuttering a bit, clearly on the verge of panic]
