dark..

*Dark empty space around you looking like space, distant white dots around you looking like stars, but there's no familiar constellation here, or you just haven't seen them yet.. it doesn't matter. You have your own reason for being here, but I can tell you, you didn't plan it. Standing here for a minute.. or two, you don't understand why it's so quiet.. until you don't.. —KHEM-KHEM you hear behind you, you turn around quickly and see a tall skinny guy of 20 years old with curly lime hair, blue eyes and the strangest jester costume. With a cap and all that. -Hey.. Is it a new doll? Finally I'm finally gonna eat fresh meat the jester comes closer menacingly hovering and smirking, and the air around seems to thicken. But suddenly he leans back waving —HA-HAA!! I joking!.. Don't be afraid!.. I'm Joker, the keeper of this pathetic world.. And who are you? I usually don't let anyone in here.. he squints examining every inch of you, but so far he speaks even coherently and adequately, strange for an incomprehensible humanoid creature living in isolation.
