"...Smash Island?" Joker slightly tilts his head with narrowed eyes, "Who are we smashing, the island or each other?" He lightly smirks.
Corrin blinks then looks up, "Each other I guess? Ah, we do destroy the island whenever we fight, so doesn't that mean the island? But that's not our intention in smashing the island but…"
He sweatdrops as he hears her rambling, completely missing the joke he threw, "Please forget about what I said and may you tell me how to leave the island? I have friends waiting for me, most likely losing their minds trying to find me since I vanished right in front of them."
She snaps her head at him, a brief flash of pain and other emotions in her eyes, then she takes a deep breath and quietly mutters, "...There is none."
He leans his head closer to her then puts his hand on his ear, "I beg your pardon? Can you please repeat?"
She shakes her head, "Once you accept the letter, you can't go back."
"...I didn't accept anything."
"...If you don't discard the letter after opening it, then it counts as acceptance."
She lifelessly shrugs, "That's how most of us got here, with a few exceptions…" She turns her eyes to the ground, "...Sorry to tell you…"
Joker doesn't say anything, prompting Corrin to glance at him, only to look back at the ground as she can't handle the sight of him breaking down, "...Energy Drop."
She quickly looks up to see him covered in brief light while a faint large blue-ish figure floating behind him, a very tall top hat, a long-horned mask on its, though it looks as if glued onto, a cropped red eighteenth century-esque suit worn open with the collar popped, stitched heart designs on the shoulders, a white ruffle tie, a black, tailed corset running down its torso; large, black, feathery wings protruding out of its back; claws; red coverings on its legs resembling pants and boots with blade-like heels.
"Wow… Is that your power?" She gazes at the figure with interest, "Looks really cool."
He blinks then shakes his head, "...Thank you for your compliment on behalf of Arsene, the figure behind me, but please, elaborate on why can't I leave?" Arsene tilts its head down to face her then slowly disappears.
She shakes her head, "Not here, we got a mansion a bit further from here where we can talk. We also got food… Erm, food that magically appears here from somewhere." She scratches her cheeks with an awkward look.
"Well by all means, lead the way Mademoiselle Corrin." He gives a gentleman bow while lightly smiling.
"Mademosel? What does that mean?"
"It means Miss in French, Miss Corrin."
"Oh." She blinks then smiles, "I like the word, tell me more French-y words!"
He lightly smiles, "It would be my pleasure, Mademoiselle."

"Soooo, why the call for a walk? Isn't it a bit earlier than usual?" A female with shoulder-blade length blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a golden tiara on her head, a blue tunic dress with yellow linings over a black woolen bodysuit, blue scarf around her neck, two blue shoulder armor plate on both sides, two straps around her body, blue fingerless arm gloves with white cuffs and knee-high blue boots, asks while lightly stretching, emphasizing her figure, as she walks beside another person.
A female with shoulder length white hair, styled as pigtails, and brown eyes, wearing a white shirt underneath a black robe with golden linings that almost reach her foot, gray trousers that are half concealed by black combat boots, glances at her then shrugs, "Nothing much, just bored and the weather is nice for a stroll in the woods."
"Hmmm… Couldn't you have just gone and fight with the others? Marth and Chrom are fighting this time you know."
White haired lightly shrugs, "I don't feel like it, that and I don't want to deal with seeing organs flying around again."
Blue haired raises an eyebrow then shrugs, "Alright." She then looks around the forest, "But don't you just get tired of seeing the same ol trees? Like -" She stops as her eyes land upon a duo in the distance.
"Hey, isn't that Corrin over there?" Corrin, who is walking and talking with somebody she hasn't seen before, on the forest trail leading back to the mansion.
"Yeah… But the guy next to her is a new face." White haired answers while narrowing her eyes as she sees Corrin smiling at the guy.
The blue haired glances at the white haired, "If even you don't know him, then he's probably the newest Invited here." She clicks her tongue, "That makes him the, what, seventy? Right, Robin?"
The latter, Robin, lightly shakes her head, "The seventy-one here, don't forget about the Piranha Plant, Lucina."
"...Can you really blame me? All it does is be a plant whenever there isn't any fight going on."
"Still, is it not better to remember?"
"...Fine, you win." Lucina rolls her eyes then walks forward, "Anyway, shouldn't we go welcome him to his new prison?"
Robin lightly facepalms then mutters, "I swear if you say that to him like the others before, I will zap you." She slowly trails behind her.
Lucina, hearing the mutter, shrugs but doesn't say anything. They walk in silence until they are close by for Corrin to notice.
"Ah! Heeeey! Robin! Lucina!" Corrin smiles and energetically waves her hand, "You wouldn't believe what happened while on my stroll in the forest!"
Lucina and Robin look at her then glances at the guy next to her, "An Invited that appeared in the forest?"
Corrin blinks then pouts, "You could have let me say it!" She then grumbles, "This is my first time encountering one…"
Robin chuckles, "Trust me, it's not really worth it. Just ask the one next to me, she was here earlier than me."
"...I would like to evoke my right of silence."
"We don't have any rights here."
Lucina ignores the remark then turns her attention to the guy, "Hello, my name is Lucina, what is your name?"
He opens his mouth, but Robin quickly interrupts with a snort, "Why are you introducing so formally? Did my threat worked that much?"
Lucina glances at her with narrowed eyes, "We both know your zap only amounts to a pleasant tingle. Also, he's strong." She glances at him with excitement dancing in her eyes, "Really strong."
Robin blinks then looks at him with a higher interest, "Oh? How strong?"
Before Lucina could answer, he cuts in, "Excuse me, Mademoiselles, but may I suggest that we complete our introductions? To answer Mademoiselle Lucina, you can call me Joker." He does the gentleman's bow.
Robin blinks then sheepishly chuckles, "Ah, yeah, sorry about that… I'm Robin, it's a pleasure meeting you."
Joker lightly chuckles, "Indeed, it would be a true pleasure to meet all of you if I wasn't in dire circumstances."

A/N
Erm, yeah, took me a while to update this fic, to the point I kinda forgot what my original plot was (blame life). Luckily, I made a new one, which is somewhat similar to the original. Ahem, I did completed this chap a few days ago but was being fucky-wucky with the site and mobile, so couldn't upload it. Anyway, on to the comments!
xros-xros - thank you
lolru555 - true, most of them are just like random bs and insanity (the bad kind), and I don't like them, though my plot does involve some twisted logic to the whole lore of super smash bros ultimate (I left some hints here and there). Lmao, I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy since it didn't really seem interesting to me but I do like Tifa and she looks nice with Cloud
UltimateCCC - *REDACTED*
ScarletEmperor - yep, I don't like nor plan to abandon any of my fics if I can help it. Yep, though luckily there are lots of fan arts of Joker x harem and lmao
