#Main Taskline

[watchtowersbane]

TTC: Jokey Jam

Mata Hairy:

Wow! Look at the muscles on you, {name}!

No, really! I'm not joking... a whole lot.

Either way, thank you for helping us get our gym in order. Toons everywhere will now be able to get in shape to handle tossing all those pies!

Now, onto your next task.

Professor Guffaw has been working tirelessly to teach Toons how to laugh effectively, causing the Cogs to laugh as well.

Cogs simply cannot take a joke!

However, her jokes and lessons have been spiraling downards lately, as her material is running thin.

You will be assigned to this task to see if you have what it takes to get her classes back in order!

Head on over to Professor Guffaw at Laughing Lessons on Silly Street and see what you can do to help.

Good luck, I know you can do it!

<You go to Professor Guffaw at Laughing Lessons on Silly Street.>

Professor Guffaw:

Ah yes, welcome! I presume you're here to learn how to laugh properly, correct? Oh, hush hush, let me jump right into it. I am a professional, after all. It starts from the diaphragm. First, you breathe in deeply. Then, upon hearing the funniest joke, you bellow out in laughter! Let's put it into practice. Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the road was too long to go around! Haha! ... ...Huh? You... you didn't laugh. I guess it really is true, the quality of my jokes has really been dropping lately... But! There IS one way to make them better again! Laughing gas! Yes, we'll supply every Toon with laughing gas so that every joke will be funny! It's foolproof. There's a small issue though. I'm all out of laughing gas! Some Cogs came in and stole it while I was practicing my latest knee-slapper! They didn't even laugh... You don't think they were deaf, do you? You're not surprised, you say? Well, anyway! Could you go and see if you can recover my laughing gas for me? Please?

<You recover Some Laughing Gas from the Cogs and return it to Professor Guffaw.>

Professor Guffaw:

Awesome! You got the tanks of laughing gas back! But... there's hardly any left! How will I ever manage to get this place back in order... Joy buzzers? No... too shocking. One-liners? No, they're even shorter lived... Ah-hah! I've got just the thing in mind. There just might be one Toon out there that could help me fix my problems! Jesse! I need you to run over to Jesse right away! His shop's here on Silly Street as well! It's called Jesse's Joke Repair! Please hurry! I have a class coming in a few hours, and they're all as funny as a pie gone cold!

<You go to Jesse Jester at Jesse's Joke Repair on Silly Street.>

Jesse Jester:

Welcome, young grasshopper. I assume you are here to learn the ancient ways of mending jokes, forgotten by most of toonkind. I do indeed have the tools you seek. Or, at least, had the tools. Now the Cogs have the tools. Regardless, there are tools. And this punchline to this is that the Cogs have taken the tools. What I'm trying to say is that, if you want my assistance in repairing jokes... All you need to do is find these tools and use them to your advantage. The Cogs may have taken them, but you possess the ability to create laughter. Laughter that can overtake those who themselves have taken. May you be strong in your journey, young Toon. I will guide you from this desk that I stand behind, while you do all of the work. Good luck, {name}.

<After recovering Joke Repair Tools from the Cogs, you return to Jesse Jester.>

Jesse Jester:

Exactly as I expected. You have risen above and beyond and found my tools. But here's the punchline. YOU are the tools. It's been within you all along. You have the ability to fix any joke you desire. ...Just kidding! In all honesty, these are actual joke repair tools. Though, I did have them all along. I just wanted you to bring back my toilet plunger and my back scratcher. It just wasn't the same, living without those two. I will now entrust you with these tools. Onwards, grasshopper! Fix the jokes, bring out the laughter, take down the Cogs. I will be here if you ever need more assistance. I bid you well, {name}. Until next time.

<You deliver the Joke Repair Tools to Professor Guffaw at Laughing Lessons on Silly Street.>

Professor Guffaw:

Joke repair tools? Perfect! Why, I can feel them working already! In fact, let's give it another shot. What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds! Isn't that hilarious? This is perfect! Thank you, {name}! I'll let you head back to the Toon Headquarters now. You've helped me out so much, I'll be sure to put in a good word for you with Lowden. Now my students will be able to spread laughter far and wide! I can picture it now, groups of Toons hanging around in the Toontown Central playground... All of them so funny, enjoying each other's presence and jokes! Thanks again, {name}.

<You return to Mata Hairy at the Toon Headquarters, ending this quest and starting Big Bumpin'.>

TTC: A Hairy Introduction

Mata Hairy:

Welcome to the Toon Resistance, {name}! I'm glad to see you start out on your very own journey alongside us.

Alright, let's get started. You'll find that each of us are tackling our own issues at the moment. That's where you come in. As part of the Resistance, youll be aiding in solving these problems.

Right now, we're making an effort to set up an efficient system to train Toons just like you.

Franz Neckvein is our resident gym coach. Unfortunately, he's run into problems of his own lately, and as such, we need you to assist him.

Help him in getting his gym back in order so we can get new Toon recruits in here, pronto!

You'll find Franz in the Punch Line Gym on Punchline Place. Remember to use your street map right above the Shtickerbook if you need directions. We're counting on you, {name}! Prove us right!

<You go to meet Franz Neckvein in his gym on Punchline Lane, ending this quest and starting Zit's Time to Pump Iron.>

TTC: Time for First Impressions

Lord Lowden Clear:

Hey again {name}! Glad to see you're getting settled in so nicely. With how well you did in training, I'd say you'll be ready for some real tasking in no time. But first, a formal welcome to the team. As you know, I'm Lord Lowden Clear - head of the Toon Resistance. We're the top-of-the-line team that's been established to strategize and fight against the Cogs. Here stands some of the most experienced and trusted Resistance memebers in all of Toontown. Mata Hairy - Head of strategy and banana collection. Bumpy Bumblebehr - Head of stealth tactics and round objects alike. Good ol' Gil Giggles - Head of disguises and ordering our catering. And me, leader of the Toon Resistance itself. When the Cogs first invaded, Toontown needed someone to help organize our retaliation. That's where I came in. Since then, we've had all kinds of Toons come in and rise through the ranks, eventually becoming Resistance Rangers. There's dozens of us in Toontown now, and we're hoping you'll join those numbers someday. We need as many Resistance Rangers as we can get taking down these Cogs and taking back Toontown, once and for all. We'll start you out simple, don't you worry, {name}. First things first, you'll need some Gags. And that means earning some Jellybeans to buy them! There's a few ways to earn some around town, one of them is riding the Trolley and playing some games. Hop on there on your own, or with up to 3 friends! The Trolley takes you to the Gag Shop after each game, so make sure you stock up before heading back. Go on, give it a try!

<You play some Trolley games and buy Gags before returning to Lord Lowden Clear.>

Lord Lowden Clear:

Great job! Now that you're all stocked up, you're ready to take down some Cogs. We've managed to keep the playgrounds safe for now, but you can still find Cogs roaming the streets. You can go through any of the tunnels in the playground to reach the streets. Try not to wander too far, as streets beyond Toontown Central's harbor more dangerous Cogs! Defeat 2 Cogs, then come back and let me know you're finished. Stay safe out there.

<You go and defeat 2 Cogs and return to the HQ.>

Lord Lowden Clear:

Nice work on taking down those Cogs! As you may have noticed, Cogs come in all different shapes, suits and sizes. Each Cog comes from a specific department. From what we know, there are five departments: Sellbot, Cashbot, Lawbot, Bossbot, and Boardbot. You'll learn more about this as you train more and become stronger. You may even want to check out the Cog Gallery page in your Schtickerbook from time to time, if you're curious! Now, let's try defeating Cogs from a specific department. Check your ToonTasks, and follow what it says.

<You defeat 3 Sellbot Cogs and return to Lord Lowden Clear.>

Lord Lowden Clear:

Back already? With turnaround times like that, I think you're ready to take on some real Resistance work. Go ahead and talk to my colleague next to me, Mata Hairy, for some more assignments! And, once again, welcome! At this pace, I'm sure you'll become a Resistance Ranger in no time!

<You go to speak with Mata Hairy, ending this quest and starting A Hairy Introduction.>

TTC: Welcome to Toontown!

Flippy:

Greetings, {name}! I see you made it out of training alright. With all that out of the way, I'd like to formally welcome you to our humble home of Toontown! I'm the town's mayor, Flippy. We're all incredibly glad to have you here, we need all the help we can get! Those Cogs that Lord Lowden Clear mentioned have been on our doorstep for a while now. Invading our streets, taking over our shops, setting up headquarters, and disrupting our Toony ways of life! It's only gotten worse as of late... However, as our numbers grow, so too does our chance at putting an end to this! Toons just like you form all over the world are joining our forces to help us take a stand. Lowden mentioned that you showed exceptional promise, due to picking up on things so quickly. I have no doubts in my mind that you will do incredible things during your time here. Now then, Lowden is ready for you - he's stationed at Toon HQ here in the playground. I hope that, in spite of everything, you enjoy your stay here in Toontown, {name}. I won't keep you any longer. Good luck out there!

<You go to Toontown Central's HQ to meet with Lord Lowden Clear, ending Welcome to Toontown and starting the next quest - Time for First Impressions.>
