[ a tap of the table and the joker... lights up? both blackened cards also seem to emanate a certain deep glow, until slowly but surely, the darkness fades from the jack.

[ good to know you think so highly of his ability to remember what happened to the ace some tags ago, condescendingly pointed metatext ... even if it didn't exactly play out the same way, there's. something, in the effects of the blackened cards on others even when trumped or transformed somehow, huh. ]

[ asking for too much, that is.
well. surely the joker can continue to be whatever it needs to be. to that end, there's no possible way to bust with another card, yes? let's scrape that perfectly normal jack against the table again, like this is a perfectly normal game of blackjack.
