Stardust flies into scene holding the Joker by the scruff of his neck, dumping him unceremoniously on the ground. He waves his hand and a chair and a small table appear, assembling themselves from the molecules of the air. His almost awkward-looking bulk floats gracefully down and he sits, crossing his legs, ankle over knee. Snaps his fingers and an hourglass appears on the table. He clenches a fist and crushes space and time itself into a tiny singularity, which he rolls over his fingers as he stares at the Joker, who rises and slowly begins to brush the desert dust from his purple pinstripe.
Stardust deliberately leans forward and turns the hourglass over. His face is about as animated as a corpse.
"Well then... Joker."
Stardust, the Super-Wizard, settles back in his chair and steeples his fingers, a side of beef frozen into a look of perpetual mild disgust.
"Make me laugh."
The Joker begins to sweat.
