[Western Crossover] The Joker? No, No, It's Aha!

[Inline comments are open, come join the fun~]

Dick felt that something was off.

He had only done what he always did on an ordinary day: put on his usual uniform, fly around aimlessly at high altitude, drop down in front of a startled lady, and gently ask if she needed help.

That was all.

So why had he suddenly been swept into some inexplicable game? And what did they mean by saying the winner would gain the authority of the Aeon of Joy?

Watching the god cackle away up in the sky, Dick wondered: This god you’re talking about, are they even sane?

The god said nothing, only laughed and laughed.

Dick rubbed the goosebumps raised by the laughter and grimaced. “Never mind, never mind. We don’t date evil gods.”

.

The Phantom Moon Game came to an end, and the little gray-haired girl became its new winner.

Holding the Envoy’s Mask, she looked at Aha and blinked her golden eyes. “Then you can go bring joy to the most miserable world!”

Nobody knew when it began, but the phones of Gotham’s citizens would suddenly flash a pop-up for no reason. Bubbly music turned into notes that circled a mask.

The scarlet mask would stretch its lips into a grin and hum an unfamiliar tune:

[Whose face is grinning wide, with a red mouth beneath their nose? Their lips stretch into a long smile, and they’re always saying, “Aha, aha! Come celebrate with me!”]

People feared it was a new scheme by the Joker’s gang, and lived in constant dread.

So the Aeon began to complain. “The Bat’s a blockhead, the birds are fools, the Joker’s a lunatic. Gotham is full of fear. Aha is losing face.”

[Aha’s reminders ahead]

1ha) The early chapters are mostly plot, and the romance develops slowly.

2ha) The game was on version 4.1 when I started writing, so some details may differ from the game’s plot.

3ha) This novel is sponsored by Aha and the Fictionologist (disclaimer, cough cough, apologies for OOC).

4ha) The pairing is Aha and the eldest brother.

5ha) The story has two arcs and is a slow burn.

6ha) Hope you enjoy reading ^o^
