I HAVE BROKEN MY ONE CARD RULE WITH A JOKER

THIS IS A LONG INTRO
/cuts

Hellooooo!! This is Tsunayoshi Sasaki, more commonly known as Shishi because his laughter sounds like shishishishishi and it also means death, twice, which then becomes lucky instead of unlucky. Depending on how well you know him you might have five million other nicknames for him. Tsu, Tsuna, Yoshi, Saki, etc. He's been a Joker since he was 25 and is now 32 turning 33 on Feb 9th. How he suddenly got that status no one is really quite sure as he always tells a different story when asked. Some cards might not even know that Tsuna and Shishi are the same because wow does he look different when he's not dressed up (and it's very rare to even see that) , he doesn't like showing his skin which is weird because he's got a lot of ink. He's commonly referred to as the dark joker.

QUICK FACTS
1. He teaches various arts on the second floor of his home in town; its not part of the Deck's schooling but if you're an artist and you've taken classes with him people will either hire you immediately or set you on fire. Yeah, he's got one of those reputations.

2. He is a creative powerhouse. If you're an artist at all man you probably have run in to this cat. He likes to inspire art of any kind, being more attracted to the darker taste of art himself. Parades, Masquarades, Carnivals, probably had him as a driving force behind it. Often paintings will show up around town on garbage cans, trees, street lamps, etc. Thaaaaat would be him and/or his students. He designs costumes and has a talent in mask making and make-up art as well as a variety of other things.

3. He is not affiliated with any suit; he will entertain any court and take work from any suit member requesting. Technically he was born in to the Spades but he didn't grow up in the castle. His mother was a Spade and his father was a Diamond. There have been clubs and hearts in his family as well. Currently he does not get along very well with his parents or at all. As for entertainment skills, he's very gymnastic and flexible. Due to his incredibly tiny size (4'8" man, he is tiny), he's quick and very light on his feet. He has many tricks both old and new, card tricks, illusionary tricks, theatrics, he can juggle almost anything including very dangerous items such as torches and knives, and he plays a mean hand at poker.

HOWEVER. He is was definitely still is best friends with Athena and loved her something fiercly in that 'I've known you forever' sort of way. Very unpleasent things will happen to you if you say bad things about her. With this, he was commonly entertaining in castle Spade. Now that Athena is gone he has distanced a little from the Spades if only because he's not sure how much other Spadeslike him without Athena, esp those others who were close to her such as Julien and David and he's not so far out of his mind to go get himself killed.

4. He can be extremely loving and fun but there's always a darkness there that has can get ugly really fast if you push the right buttons. Some of his art is extremely disturbing and macabre so who's surprised that he can be equally as disturbing? He sometimes lacks a filter between his brain and mouth, also.

FINALLY, 5. He HATES DOGS. He will kick them. He's a cat person. Has a ridiculous amount of them.


CR ERRYBADY??

OH DUDE I LIKE HIM.

Well, Säde's about the same age, maybe she knew him before he became a Joker. In fact *checks quickly* he became Joker around the same time she became Ace. Considering their personalities though, I think they might not have gotten on when Säde was in her early twenties because woah major ice queen building time.

Annie of course is a Spade he might have known before she left, which was when he was 20. Does his mind go cats>snakes>dogs? :o

Aaaand Idk about Leigh. BUT. She will not be afraid of him unless he starts juggling knives in front of her 8D

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

He deals with Ice Queens. They might have known eachother before yes indeed, and maybe they still get on here and there? Depends on if she's ever wanted/needed custom clothing, ball dresses, anything like that for any ocassion, make-up etc. He's well equipped for this.

He likes snakes so they're groovy, him and Annie. He holds grudges very rarely soooo if she's cool then so is he!

Annnd, Shishi teaches young tots so he isn't always so macabre :)

[oneirophiliac.livejournal.com]

Occasionally getting on works! Funny how she gets on with one joker and the other... not so much. because she used to take care of Piper before her brother died and she had a meltdown. So I'm not sure if that might affect Shishi and Säde's friendship.

Then Annie's cool with him as well! She was probably very surprised to come back and find him a joker.

Säde probably sends Leigh over for art lessons, then~

... You are the master of the long-ass intros. /bows

All the bff times. ALL OF THEM. :| <3

Iota knows him, but is probably just a tiny bit scared of him. Vince knows him because he's a Spade and yes, he probably saw him performing quite a number of times. So... yeah.

All the somewhat incoherent and rambly love.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

I totally tried to cut it down, too. Wtf.

All of the bffs darnit. Lots of wine and cake and pretty things. Horay for pretty things.

Wry be scared, he can make daisies pop out of your ear. And good stuff with Vince. So yeah! Homie G unit.

HOW DOES HE FEEL ABOUT BIRDS? ESPECIALLY SINGING BIRDS?

*Clears throat, shifty eyes*

Anywaaays -- Andrea is 29, meaning he would have been... 21 - 22 when she was 17 and started her interactions with other people. He could have known her through some friendly talk or bump ins if those are possible and the fact she trolled her parents' attempts to make her do music and art by pretending to be horrible at all of it or, you know, the whole LEAVING FOREVER stunt she had done.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

He thinks they're food! Oh wait no, that's the cats. ... Ahem.

By the time he was 21 he was fairly sucessfully running that in home shop. He started showing jokery habits in his early twenties until he assumed the position. Depending on what kind of art, Andrea might have known him from her parents displeasure or approval. Shishi tends to bother the shit out of the stiff upper lip art snoots as he is a little bit more liberal and free.

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

If he was a friend of Athena's since childhood and hung around a certain park in town often, he probably ran into the Clubs Quartet (Edgar, Argine, Andrew & Rachel) a few times. Rachel especially made it a point to hang out in town as often as possible. She's 38, so bit of an age gap, but still maybe?

They'd likely have stopped hanging out if they did hang out somewhere around when she was 16-18ish and he was 11-13ish so idk.

*complete incoherence trololo*

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

Also, I did not respond to your thing about Eli in h/v and I am sorry, always being on mobile le sux.

As for Rachel, yes they probably knew eachother when they were growing up. He would have probably been artsying most of the time when outside in park.

He may have dropped by the Diamond Courts for this and that but probably not a whole lot with the manhating and all. Even though in dress he's usually androgynous! But whatevs. He will be passing by to extend his respects for the King though.

HEY YOU

COME TO THIS GIRL'S ARMS RIGHT NOW

8D

They are besties no matter what ( and it took me a year to type out the word besties. :||| damn you, iTouch autocorrect.) um and as always with being born a Spade or whatever, he can know Adrien? Even though they have an 8 year age difference.

Blythe will be cool with him, Suzane will be alfjfgfkalfgdhfls terrified as is expected. I. Will be more coherent about this in thirty minutes when I've actually fully woken up. :P

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

I totally posted my response to this to Julien at first, lol.

Hello yoooou. Friends it is. They can has paint town together literally? :) :) :)

When Athena was in rule he frequented the Spade castle more than others so yes, they can know eachother.

He and Blythe can be chill together and yeah he might make a point out of scaring Suzanne because.. Joker.

[acethatmatters.livejournal.com]

Julien's beena Spade for like...almost 18 years now, so he likely knows Shishi. He will mostly just look at him bemused like and wish he goes away, I'm sure.

If Shishi kicks Elani's dog, bad things will happen. Fair warning. ;)

Dunno if he'd know Johnny or Diana but they likely know of him, at least.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

I figured Julien might be less than accepting of his presence ever. Lol

Perhaps he has already learned this lesson of dog kicking + Elaini? He might run away from Elaini and said dog in this case which just looks really hilarious in my mind.

He's entertained in the both Heart and Diamond courts before so they might simply know of him :)

[headfollowheart.livejournal.com]

I could have sworn I commented on thiiiis.

I know we've decided he tutored Zoe in art, buuut he is also exactly the same age as Urania. So they probably know each other.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

All is well! Yes, Zoe and he are friendsies. He probably doesn't bug Elisha often but he might for art submissions here and there and I can't remember who else you have.

[schoollikenew.livejournal.com]

OMG HE'S HERE.

Sandy either adores him, hates him, or goes OMG rival; it depends on the mood of the day or what she's doing. But usually he can make her go back respectful and adoring within five minutes. But above all she does admire him and his ability to be so free and flexible. I've doubted they worked together because Sandy is intimidated but she's probably been to his classes despite being a fairly established artist herself. You can always learn! BTW we can retcon Sandy using the big name on him if you don't want her to know Shishi's real name.

Speaking of always learning, Christopher probably doesn't know the dear Joker all that welll beyond seeing him at school with students. Chris is not one of those unfreedom like teachers. He wants the students to enjoy their time with Mr. Shishi and their ability to maintain themselves as a class is reflected on him and shouldn't be Shishi's concern. Christopher is rather big on having students known their options and try to step beyond the boundaries of Suit issues. He likes that the Joker is presenting this so beautifully.

Though 6'4 Kahl standing next to 4'8 Shishi is going to be hideously hilarious.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

This all sounds good to me! Yes, Christopher and Shishi will get along even though their height is ridiculous in difference rofffllll

[heartshy.livejournal.com]

:DDDD

Jinx is probably terrified of him/looooooves him.

David... Well. Since he and Athena are besties, he's free to hate David, actually.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

Idk how David and Shishi get on but I am interested to find out, loool.

[graceandwit.livejournal.com]

He probably knew this one when she was a kidlet and hanging around Spade Castle with her creepy guardian. He probably fascinated her to no end even though she should have probably known better.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

Soounds fun. :) even before being a joker, Tsuna was a bit rebellious and strange. He didn't like the whole tied to one suit thing.

[cutslikeaspade.livejournal.com]

Ethan was born into the Deck and since he's borderline insane anyway, I'm sure they've run across each other before. Morgan and Jake are from the Outside and will probably give him a wide, widdddeeee berth, lol.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

How long was Ethan gone again? Depending on that, Ethan might have only known Tsuna as the quirky artist in town rather than the Joker.

Hahaha, if he knows you're kind of scared of him maaan will he use that almost all the time. Ffff

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Okay, HERE AT LAST.

Isaac has always had a fondness for Jokers, mainly for wordplay potential. I'm sure he'll be okay with Shishi wandering hither and thither in Diamond Castle, providing he doesn't cause too much of a mess random art. It is an Understanding.

Garrett is a musician first and foremost, but does a lot of visual art too. So if they cross paths, I'm sure it will be psychedelic window painting all the way.

Oliver is a very straightforward guy, often confused by the whimsy of the Jokers, though he was born and raised in Spade Castle so they possibly knew each other. And Wren. Has been around for eleven years. And I'd imagine tolerates him when sober, adores him when drunk.

[shiwashiwa.livejournal.com]

Here you are!

Fantastic, him an Isaac can be buds. Since they also seem to like making people all pretty? Shishi is currently making a dress for Avery.

Window painting is an absolute yes.

Oliver, haha. Lol..

Wren, he will like Wren because glamazon. Re: dress.
