CR Studios


Joker is behind curtains, he is getting ready for show of his life. Murray’s talking about his failed performance. If he only would know, what powers is he dealing right now...

“Ok, ok... I think we’ve had enough of waiting. Everypony wants to see our guest. So, please welcome... JOKER!” - orchestra started to play instrumental version of song Smile by Jimmy Durante. Joker came out from behind of the curtains with dance movement. Everypony could see that he was having fun, audience was a little bit confused cause of what happend before, but they soon started to cheer. Joker greeted with Murray, and then walked to old lady that was also on the show, as he got close enough, he kissed her. When he finished he finaly sat down.

“You’re alright doc?” - he only saw her surprised face and Joker was sitting silent and was looking into audience.
“Are you ok?” - Murray asked, and audience laught.
“Yes. This is exactly how i imagined it.” - Joker answered without making an eye contact with Murray.
“Well, that make one of us.” - again audience laugh, this time also with Joker.
“When we’ve been in backstage I didn’t asked about it but I have to know. What’s with the makeup? Are you part of the protest?” - Murray asked.
“No Murray I’m not political. I’m just trying to make ponies smile.” - Joker grined.
“And how’s that going for ya?” - everypony laught again. And also Joker but this time a little bit louder.
“So, I know you’re comedian. Have you’ve been working on new material? You wanna tell us a joke?” - audience started to cheer so Joker could say one. He took journal out of his suit.
“Look he has a book! A book of jokes.” - Murray mocked Joker. When Joker looked into it he noticed a two lines of text, a joke that he wrote:

I just hope that my death
makes more cents than my life.

It hitted him, Zephyr Breeze was dead, so if his death had to mean something somepony should take his place...

“It’s ok, take your time.” - audience laught as Murray rushed Joker.
“Ok, that’s a good one... Knock, knock...”
“And you’ve had to look that up?” - audience laught without Joker.
“I want to make it right... Knock, knock...”
“Who’s there?” - Murray finaly asked.
“It’s police ma’am, your son’ve been hit by a drunk driver, his dead.” - Joker lauhght.
“Nonononono, you can’t Joke about that!” - Doc said.
“Yeah it’s not funny Joker.” - Murray finished.
“Sorry, it’s just... It’ve been a rough time for me, but it’s getting better. Ever since i’ve killed those three wall street guys and blow up building I was living in my life finaly felt complete...” - Joker wasn’t joking but Murray hoped it was some another bad Joke.
“Ok, I’m waiting for the punchline.” - Murray said.
“There’s no punchilne. That’s not a Joke.” - audience started to whisper something.
“Wait, you’re serious? You’re the pony that’ve killed over few hundred ponies?” - Murray started to understand his mistake.
“Yes. And you know what’s more funny? I’ve killed more ponies than you think.” - Joker was serious again.
“What do you mean? Gene call the police. Gene?” - Murray looked behind Joker terrified. Gene was lying down on the floor.
“Do you know what’s funny Murray? Gas...” - Murray looked at him.
“That’s some sort of sick joke? Well, I don’t get it freak!” - Murray tried to hide his terrified face.
“Yes, you don’t get it. Gene and audience got it. I’ve released a gas in this room so Gene and audience would die, but not us... I want to kill you in other way... But first one Last Joke! What do you get when you cross a mentaly ill loner with a society that abendends him and treats him like trash? You get what you fucking deserve... Oh what’s a nice mug you have there.” - Joker quickly took it and smashed it on desk, so he could use sharp parts to stab Murray few times. When he died Joker turned around and walked to camera.
“Good night! And always remember... That’s life.”

After tragedy at Dark Zone Celestia renamed Canterlot to Gotham, a name of Pony that was living in there and was trying to make this city free of weapon and explosives... Breaking news, a lunatic called Joker killed ponies at Murray Franklin Show.
