"She wouldn't tell me anything, I swear! Please don't hurt me!"The man whined.
"I wasn't myself. This woman, she said I would be trapped in this mansion forever if I didn't do it...I'm so terribly sorry."The man said.
"I understand."Sora smiled.
The 'Joker' appeared with Sora. "E-chan!"Sora hugged Eden. "I am so sorry for my behavior."The man bowed.
"Hey, I'm curious."Sora smiled.
The man was levitating with Sora, trying to find a place to hide. He kept singing to keep Sora levitating. ♪'This is a new world to you. The forest melting into blue.'♪The man waltzed with Sora in the air. ♪'My need's at a fewer pitch. I hope yours isn't in a kitsch.'♪The man found a place to hide and levitated inside with Sora. Sora was still unconcious so the man set Sora down on the couch. ♪'If I make a choice, I will not be able to take it back because-'♪The man put Sora's heart back into his body. ♪'You have already put your cards into play'♪When the man opened his hand his cards came floating to the floor. He pulled a knife from his sleeve and raised it to strike Sora's heart. "Joker....Joker..."His hand trembled a bit. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath about to strike when Sora started singing, though he was still out of it. ♪'Joker, your light dimming into a glow.'♪The man stopped at Sora singing. ♪'Joker, your sight brimming with a mad flow'♪The man kneeled down, his other hand cupping Soras face. The red and black mask came off. ♪'Joker, your body taught all the wrong things.'♪The man rubbed Sora's face, feeling guilty. ♪'Joker, your shoddy thought's on a strong string.' ♪Sora opened his eyes, waking up.

"Just get me back to my friend, please."Sora said. "Of course, madamoiselle."The man smiled.
The man sighed. "Alright, have it your way."The Man pulled out his cards and Sora and him sat down at the table. The man set his 5 cards in the middle of the table. They were the Queen of Spades, the King of Diamonds, The Jack of Hearts, the Ace of Clovers, and the Joker. They flipped over and were switched around. "Are you single, mam? Just curious." "I have a boyfriend."Sora said. "I see."The man sang a little bit. ♪'Do you understand the rules? True love is only for fools'♪Sora reached for the card in the middle, smirking. ♪'If you want pretty favor'♪The card lifted to reveal the Joker card. ♪'Consequences cannot waver'♪ "I'm sorry, but you lost."The man chuckled, smirking.

"What could be worse?"Sora asked...dot,dot,dot... "Don't answer that."he said.
Nyah!*stabbity stabbity stab stab stab*
"ah! hai!"Sora picked up the pace in following Mage. "Um...get caught by what and/or who, if you don't mind me asking?"Sora asked.
The man just smirked. "Don't worry, I'm sure she'll win. Why don't you wait outside the room for your turn?"He asked, smiling. "I'll be fine."Sora said to Eden in an assuring tone. "Besides, Skyla will contact you if anything goes wrong."he whispered.
As Sora walked through the hallways he could hear a voice singing. ♪'Lets start a new showtime. Invite a woman in her prime. Why don't we play a card game? No need to know the other's name...'♪ Sora opened a door to find a young man with raven black hair with a black top-hat and black costume. He had aqua eyes covered in a black and red mask and his hair was tied in a ponytail with a red ribbon. "ahh, welcome young miss!"The young man smiled. "Here for a fortune I bet." "You could say that."Sora said. "Buit first, shall we play a card game?"The man kissed Soras hand. "The rules are simple. Pick any 4 cards to win a free fortune, but pick the Joker card and you lose."The man smiled. "Who are you? and what'll happen if I lose?"Sora asked. "You need not knopw my name. and don't worry, few people lose at this game since there is a 4 out of 5 chance of winning."The man smiled.
"Shweeet!"Sora grinned.
"I doubt he'll know what he's doing."Sora chuckled, going inside.
"I understand that...Still, this place looks really ama-"Sora paused and looked into the far distance. "I see a ferris wheel."He said, spotting the ferris wheel.
"OOOH, nice."Sora smiled, following Mage.
Sora went to check out the mansion. There was a sign on the door and Sora read it. "Inside lies the amazing fortune teller. May he tell you you're fate with his magical cards?"Sora chuckled.
"Wanna see what they did to this place to call it the 'haunted mansion?'?Sora asked.
Sora continued through the forest and came up to the mansion.
Sora noticed a sign up ahead that said 'Haunted Mansion' that lead to Dizs Mansion. Sora rolled his eyes and went to check it out.
