Day 2: Jokers - curse | spirits/hauntings | escape Party favors are splurged after the coronation, now that everyone has returned to the kingdoms in which they work. Two Spade residents cheerfully talk about the splendor of the party, the right-hand man of the ruler of Spades (King, queen, she claims both, and no one cares to question it) Goes on about all the people he met while he pokes at his companion on why he hardly saw him. Offered an explanation that speaks of a vague past, one which roots in clubs but with little memory, only mementos. A lonely past but one that leads to a wonderful present. The past does not sleep quietly. However, the spirit of the land awakens, frightfully so, as a haze of energy overtakes the balcony, the voices of a collective long dead, now speaking up about their choice for the future. These ghosts alarm the new future king. Likewise, the Joker, who could suppress his 'curse' all these years, finds himself activated in the noise of a surprise decree. Wasting no time, the haunt must be disrupted. There is no joy in this revelation. The Spade ruler is beloved. It would break a million hearts if something was to happen to her. With the Joker revealed and the to-be king determined to preserve the peace. They each take on a mission, one will scour history for scenarios and the other will seek any who may have encouraged the spirits of Spade to choose suddenly a King. (I did this during a typhoon, people who make stuff like this are awesome.)
