You and your team are all gathered around in the hotel lobby, preparing for your advancement towards the center of the city. You numbskulls gather around, including a dangerskull with [Instant Kill].

In the hotel lobby, you're greeted by the local clown historian.
"I see you are all heading out today, you do know it's the night of the jesters, you should be careful out there, or even stay inside of the hotel."

"Pssh- A jester never bothered me! How bad could going out be?"

The robot would look down at the clown historian then to his pet, patting his numbskull on the head

"Plus I have my wonderful baby girl with me~"
"Ohh I'm sure we wont have an issue! If its tangible, it can't be thaaaaaat bad!"

"I already got clowned, I don't want to find out what a jester can do."
"But if the captain wants to go out I guess I have to go."
"I'm not a clown, I'm a clown historian. But yes, clowns do squeak." The historian said to the tourist.
"If you insist on going out, I cannot stop you. I just wished to warn you about the jesters. If one of those gets ahold of a person, I fear they may not come back."
"I have been investigating jesters and the ways they make others....disappear."
"But I have located no useful info so far."
"Disappear? Well I certainly don't want my crew to disappear… Who'll protect me without them!"
"But I also trust that my team is smart enough not to fall for any jests!"
"Don't worry, Mr Rose!! I'll protect you!!"
"No jesters will come close to us."
"Oh no worries boss, I can totally be trusted on security!"
"And assailant disposal!"
"Then out we go! We've got our wits and our pets, a little danger never bothered me!"
"Don't eat the jesters."
"!!!"
"Even if they don't count as people."
"As long as they don't try to eat us, hee hee!"

"HUH?!?!"
"I shall leave you to it, good luck out there!"
The crew take note of the jester based warnings but continue on their journey. The streets are empty, and the honk levels minimal at best. They do come across a sight in the middle of the street though.

A crab holding a comically small fire extinguisher is attempting to help, but the numbskull just appears to be running away from the duo!
"That he certainly is! Must be very dedicated to the art of fire."

THAT SPIT ROCKED.
IT HITS THE NUMBSKULL DIRECTLY IN THE FACE, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE LESS ON FIRE, JUST ANGRY.

"Awww, there, there, little floating ghost. Do you want something to calm you down?"
"Excuse me! Do you guys forget who leads you?"
"Clearly this numbskull is a lover of flame like myself!"

The numbskull is upset! It attempts to spit on willow!


The numbskull rolls a 20 sided die. A 3 is rolled.

It just coughs up some ash though!

"Wow! that spit sucked!!"
"Hey maybe uhm-" Strawberry sends Zorro to help calm it down.

THE NUMBSKULL TRIES TO SPIT ON TINNY.


The numbskull rolls a 20 sided die. A 5 is rolled.

It sucked...

"I'm so sorry Mr numbskull.... You can spit on me...." She lays on the ground, eyes closed, awaiting her death...

Rose looks at his numbskull and smiles, kneeling to her height and smiling at her before speaking.

"Now my lovely little Marigold! Can you go befriend this numbskull please?~"

The numbskull "ptths" in respond and goes to try and befriend the firey numbskull!
