Joker's acrobatics
"Joker! There's a treasure chest, let's open it!" Ann said cheerily. The phantom thief leader with her incredibly frizzy, incredibly long hair turned.
Her eyebrow rose in intrigue as she traced to where panther was pointing; above the group sitting on a terrace with a faint golden glow about it.
"How do we go about this though?" Makoto turned to Ann. Gesturing towards their out of reach objective.
"I don't see anyway to get up there." Futaba added.
"Oh wow, that's really high up!" Haru gasped at the sight.
"You'd have to be an Olympic gymnast to make it up there." Ryuji nudged Morgana and yusuke.
A moment of silence came over the phantom thieves of hearts as they all simultaneously turned to look at joker who was still looking for an easy way up.
"Or, you could be joker." Futaba snickered. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Joker blinked a couple times realizing that her team was 100% serious, she looked at them all one by one and pointed to herself in disbelief.
"Indeed." Yusuke nodded.
"Yah huh." Ryuji shot a thumbs up.
"You do flip a lot." Morgana purred.
"Yes you, silly." Ann giggled.
"According to your previous displayed skills in agility, I'm certain you can do this." Makoto smiled.
"Oh do be careful though, joker" Haru cautioned.
"Make it flashy!" Futaba cheered.
Still in disbelief joker did one last look around and sighed walking forward up to the base of the balcony to examine it up close. Small cracks lined both the pillars all the way up from the bottom.
Akira twirled her kukri from her belt and tossed it upwards, the frizzy haired phantom thief jumped as high as she could and kicked off the pillar behind her.
Grabbed her weapon in mid-air and jammed the blade between one of the cracks.
Dangling on the wall joker assessed that she had a little more than halfway to go. She kicked away and up from the pillar she was on and did the same thing for the opposite structure. Eventually finding a rhythm to her method she added flair to it by spinning in air every so often.
Finally reaching the balcony and grabbing the ledge with her free hand, she sheathed her weapon and grabbed the ledge with her other hand.
The rest of the phantom thieves watched in awe as the unscalable wall was conquered with ease.
"Wow, that was amazing." Ryuji said with a his jaw dropped.
"That's our joker!" Morgana cheered. Everyone else was silent in awe still. They watched as joker pulled herself up into a flip and landed atop of the railing in one swift movement.
Ryuji whistled in amazement, Futaba and Morgana cheered wildly, yusuke nodded in content, Ann and makoto clapped and Haru giggled in relief.
The group went quiet as they watched joker spin around looking for something frantically.
"She couldn't have." Fox whispered.
"She didn't." Skull pleaded.
"Oh she might have." Mona sighed.
"I think she has." Panther deadpanned.
"There's no way she did...right?" Queen begged
"I think she did." Oracle said rubbing her temples.
"She did." Haru concluded.
Joker teared up at the sight of her empty pocket, her empty lockpick pocket.
