She had gotten to the event to help setup everything, blending in with the staff as he goons did as well. She had her face paint almost completely done, just enough to be considered a cosplayer and not draw too much attention. As things started getting underway, she setup a booth to help do make-up for women and children that were trying to look and dress like her. She would fix their hair, do their make-up, and make changes where she thought they were needed. During the few makeovers that she did, she swapped out her cane with another woman's, telling the woman that she should definitely join The Joker look-alike competition, explaining that there was a cash prize for the winner. For a little girl, she traded a fake trigger for a real one, telling the girl to promise not to push the button until she told her to, once she brought her on stage, promising the girl free candy if she could hold off till then.<br/><br/>She kept her pistol on her, figuring that she may need it, if things get too out of hand, but ultimately it was just a fail safe. There were so many things that could go wrong and that she wanted to go wrong, she was honestly brimming with excitement. After the make-up booth, she switched it to a magic stand, where she was doing card tricks for passersby and little children. Those who stopped and watched were astounded, paying her for the experience, none the wiser that a sociopath psychopath was entertaining them and their children while thoughts of chaos and carnage swirled around in her mind.<br/><br/>By the time the huge tent event was soon to begin, everything and everyone was in place. The goons had mixed in with the clowns, the cosplay Jokers had been given their devices, the announcer had been knocked unconscious, tied up and placed in an out of order porter-potty. The Joker finished her face paint appropriately before taking the main stage under the tent, welcoming Gotham City to the carnival. The opening ceremony went off without a hitch, The Joker announced the different acts while telling jokes, showing a few failed tricks and a few astounding tricks.  She tried walking the tight rope at one point, playfully acting like it was hard, before eventually falling only to be caught by a trapeze performer and making it to the other side, giving a bow to an applauding audience.<br/><br/>The whole while this was going on, her Clown Posse, was making sure that they handled things on their end. The cages of both the tigers and the bear had their locks rigged to blow off once the young girl pushed the detonator button. The fact that the performances hadn't been ruined by an animal invasion meant that the girl she chose to hold the detonator was a good listener, even though she was still at a young age. Also, they made a few last minute decisions, as hostages and sabotaged rides were definitely needed distractions in case Batman were to show up early and ruin the fun. The Joker had missed out on the opportunity to enjoy her victory the last time, but she fully intended to take advantage this time. There were, of course, a lot of unknowns, but that was honestly the point. Chaos is chaos for a reason, she didn't need to know all the eventualities. She was simply going to enjoy whatever came her way and adapt accordingly.<br/><br/>The next couple of acts were to get the people on the edge of their seats; There was the woman strapped to the spinning wheel, while The Joker threw knives at her blindfolded. From how far she was from the audience, nobody could see the absolute terror in her eyes nor could they hear her crying and screaming in abject horror because she had an apple gagging her. The finale of this was a brilliant display, The Joker twirled two knives through her fingers, spot-light on her, as a dramatic drum-roll played.<br/><br/>"Please, don't wiggle your head so much," she said gleefully, turning her head to the crowd for a moment, "I'd hate for you to bite off more than you can chew," she turned her focus back to the task at hand. She caught the rhythm of the spin, judged the power necessary to hit her target, and with a flashy twirl the first blade was sent hurling at the spinning woman.<br/><br/>*Thwak*<br/>The dagger sliced into the apple, just a little left of the center, and with a wind up and flick of the wrist, the second blade was off.<br/>*Twak*<br/>The dagger pierced the apple to the right side.<br/><br/>Applause rang out and The Joker took her bows, a few goons coming to unlatch the spinning woman, whispering in her ear, then the two ladies took a bow to the audience together before the unwilling target left the spotlight.<br/><br/>"Can I get all of my Joker look-a-likes to come on down! Let's get a quick show of what you got for the people!" They had all been gathered off to the side and made their way into the widening spotlight. "Remeber ladies, points for crowd noise and creativity. Show me some pizzazz!" she located the woman who had her cane and the young girl she gave the remote to, with a grin she went on to start the show.<br/><br/>When she got to the woman, whom she had made up the most to resemble her, she gave the woman the idea to find a Batman among the people, point the cane like a firearm at him and pull the trigger. This would in-fact end-up sending a thin projectile firing at the would-be Batman. For a few moments, the crowd thought it was all a part of the show, which would give The Joker enough time to go over and tell the girl to push the button. By the time the screams started, Chaos had erupted backstage outside the tent. Animals were now loose, machinery was malfunctioning, a fires had broken out all along the carnival. The Joker had instructed her goons to start the fires and induce panic once the animals got loose, and also to thwart Batman, if they should see him. They were also given instructions to give her up immediately, if questioned, no sense in having the min attraction absent or unknowing of her whereabouts.<br/><br/>It was time for the real fun to begin! "Everybody make haste to the exits, try not to trample one another!" She watched the chaos unfold, a smile plastered on her face the whole time
