Ask The Alethiometer!

[Kappa]

Mmmm, not quite.

[Bluelantern]

Ok... cauldron is brewing... so the Jokers are always redefining themselves?

[Kappa]

Huh! That's an interesting one.

It's possible that I'm going to steal some of the better missed guesses as layered alternate interpretations for this phrase XD

But nope, still not it.

[Alphabeta]

process, achieved wisdom

Being a Joker is a process by which the template member gets wisdom? Though I'm not sure how that would differ from everyone else.

The Authority, change

They did make most of the magic involved in Amariah's takeover...

[Kappa]

XDDDDDDDDDDDD

No.

[Alphabeta]

Symbolism, change

They're a symbol of chaos?

Control, impossibility

They cannot be controlled.

[Kappa]

Heh. Also a candidate* for theft, but no :D

*two candiates, you sneaky post-editor you

[Alphabeta]

The Authority, Impossibility

They are evidence that the Authority's ego trip mission statement is impossible?

[Kappa]

Nope.

If you were going to give a concise and accurate description of Jokers, would you reference the Authority in any way? :P

[Alphabeta]

No, but I don't live in a worldsheaf where he's been running around like a jackass trying to mind control everyone ever. :P

Language, impossibility

...really? And I thought you were better at this than that.
