You and your teammates are seeking a temp job. After being on this planet for so long, you're all getting tired of nutrient-rich cotton candy. You need REAL FOOD.

Checking the papers, you find two jobs to apply to.

The first is being a guard at a museum. Someone keeps putting up "ADOPT THIS DOG" signs, which are NOT historical clown art pieces.

The second is helping with a spot of gardening after something ruined the plants in an area.

"I'd offer to take us out for lunch, but apparently all my money is frozen because I 'can't confirm my identity', it's like they've never seen a transpecies person before. S.M.H. Anyway, I say we take the museum job, I like art. ;P"
Tha Champ
"Aaaanyway... these job offers. I'm not a nature person. I agree that guarding some clownly museum from a dogfriend is probably the best option"
You all agree to go to the museum job. The Clown Museum isn't a large place, but it has a surprising amount of lore despite being about just a random town!

Horseface-12
Horseface stares at the snake enclosure for a long, long, long moment, before tearing himself away and prodding about the museum, taking lots of IRL screenshots of these IRL NFTs.

Everyone ignores the snakes (because, after all, they're behind a glass and their emotional control is being contained.) Which is awesome.
