## Story ToonTask 1

**Starting Gag Training for Trap or Toon-Up/Sound**

Visit J. S. Bark at the Concert Circle, Minnie's Melodyland Playground

* **J. S. Bark**: Fancy you dropping by Minnie's Melodyland, (player name)! Name's J. S. Bark! I'm one of the three "mayors" running this here playground, believe it or not! Over there is my good pal Parkel Bell - the pig with the trombone and the top hat - and that's Pavel Rotty - the deer with the fancy dress tuxedo! (whispers) Oh, don't mind the dress code. We usually aren't this formal around here, heh heh.
* I've heard of your skills from my old friend Coach Z. We really could use your help around here, the Cogs are getting a little crazier than usual. We're talking really tall Cog Buildings and really scary, high-levelled Cogs walking the street these days. Kinda ruins the musical mood, doesn't it?
* Tell you what, I'm feeling generous. In exchange for helping me and my buddies in town to get rid of the Cogs, how about I get some friends to teach you a new Gag track? Sounds neat?
	+ (**Task**) Let's start you off slow. I'd like your help with taking out some lower-levelled Cogs. How about ... 8 Double Talkers/Tightwads/Name Droppers/Voodoo Programmers in Minnie's Melodyland?
* Knew I could count on you! Job well done, (player name)! Well, I've just got more news that we have a large increase in mid-tier Cogs in the vicinity. Could use your help in thinning them out.
	+ (**Task**) Defeat 5 Ambulance Chasers/Bean Counters/Glad Handers/Keyboard Cowboys around this here playground. They shouldn't be too hard to find; they're everywhere.
* Now that is serious skill. Kudos to ya, kid. One last thing to do.
	+ (**Task**) Let's get rid of the strong ones. That should send them a message for sure. Defeat one, yes, just one Spin Doctor/Money Bags/Two-Face/Software Simian in Minnie's Melodyland.
* Alright, great news, (player name)! The Cogs seem to be retreating for now, and we've got you to thank for that! Great work back there!
* As I've promised, I'll start you out on the usual Gag choices. We've got something real special just for you here:
	+ These are **Trap** gags. It's a pretty neat way to destroy Cogs, and they deal pretty substantial damage. Just place them on the floor, hope the Cog gets in the way, and boom. It's a lot easier to get them to walk over a Trap when you use Lure.
	+ (If player has no Toon-Up Gags) This is **Toon-Up**. If your friend is in need of a Laff Boost, simply use one of these to heal them back up! Great way to support them, and greater way to make friends!
	+ (If player has no Sound Gags) And this is **Sound**. Damages all Cogs in a radius of you at once. Not great on its own, but especially strong if you have other Toons using Sound at the same time!
	+ (**Task**) It's your choice, (player name); just select from either **Trap**, or **Toon-Up/Sound**.
* Fantastic choice! Well then, I'd best ring up an old friend of mine. You're now ready to train for **Trap/ Toon-Up/ Sound** Gags, and I've found you a good trainer just for that.
* Head over and find my old friend Mel Function (Trap) / Dr. Lee Gature (Toon-Up) / Moe Zart (Sound). In the meantime, stick around and enjoy the music, we're always here for ya. Be safe, (player name)!
	+ (**Reward**) 120 Jellybeans

## ToonTool Training 1

Visit Julius Fuselick at Legato Labs in Minnie's Melodyland Playground

* **Julius Fuselick**: Why, if it isn't (player name), the new talk of the town here.
* Who am I? Why, I'm the resident playground's engineer and researcher, and I'm always looking out for the next big musical breakthrough! I mean, imagine - automated marching bands, self-playing trumpets and drum sets, and the list goes on!
* Of course, nowadays my talents tend to be more tailored to coming up with new ways to thwart the Cogs. Not that I mind of course, I do have a few breakthroughs that I thought you'd like.
* Now I know you've used ToonTools before, but I've recently found some new ideas to tinker with. What are they? Well, it's still a work in progress, but I might just let you try them out one day.
* Of course. We'll have to build them first, and you've come just in time. I'm short on helium for the balloons. You can't have a ToonTool without balloons, can you?
	+ (**Task**) Now, you'd think Helium would be easy to find, but it really isn't. The last I saw, they are only available in the Warehouse of the Sellbot Factory. I'll need 3 Helium Canisters from there - and you'll most likely need more than one trip there.
* Heh, I figured you'd be in and out in no time! So that settles the balloons - and yes, they are definitely an important part of my latest invention.
	+ (**Task**) Now onto something else: some Shrinking Tech. I'd do it myself but the Cogs actually do that better than I do - how'd you think the Head Hunters always shrink heads so quickly? Which reminds me, please recover some Shrinking Tech from Head Hunters.
* Excellent! Now there's only one thing left I need for my latest breakthrough. Some bad music. And I mean, really bad music. Luckily, I know just the person to supply that.
	+ (**Task**) Moira Cowbell has a pretty bad reputation for loud, screechy music. J. S. Bark wouldn't let her anywhere near the Concert Hall, but I think we can put her vocal talents- well, the lack of it anyway, to good use. Moira's store is called Saturday Mic Live on Soprano Street in Minnie's Melodyland. Pay her a visit, would you?

Visit Moira Cowbell at Saturday Mic Live on Soprano Street in Minnie's Melodyland.

* Woah, am I hearing you right? Someone wants to *buy* my recordings?
* Well, fancy that. And after the last time I was shooed off the stage for performing my heavy metal rendition of "Danny Boy", too!
* I'm happy to oblige, but I haven't had the time to record lately. See, these nasty Cogs keep rolling up around my store and interrupting the recordings.
	+ (**Task**) Though, if you can take care of them for me, I can probably get a few tracks out in time. Let's say - if you could defeat 10 Yesmen / Double Talkers / Voodoo Programmers right here in Minnie's Melodyland?
* Well, as promised, here's my latest hit! I wouldn't recommend playing it anywhere quiet though - me and my loud voice went all out on this one.
* I still can't figure out why Julius would want to hear my singing, but do send him my regards!

Return to Julius Fuselick at Legato Labs in Minnie's Melodyland Playground

* You're back real fast. And no, I absolutely don't want to hear Moira's singing. But I'm pretty sure the Cogs wouldn't mind some awful screeching sometime.
* Well then, that's all I need, really! You've been helpful as always, so maybe grab yourself a cup of tea while I get to work.
* Actually, what the hay. I have some spare ToonTools lying around so do help yourself to them. And, here's a little payment for your trouble!
	+ (**Reward**) Free refill on all ToonTools, 100 Jellybeans

## ToonTool Training 2

Visit Julius Fuselick at Legato Labs in Minnie's Melodyland Playground

* **Julius Fuselick**: Eureka! Or rather - argh. I reek. When was the last time I had a shower?
* Oh, didn't see you there, (player name)! I was just making the finishing touches to these new-fangled ToonTools here. And of course, I'd like you to try them out on the field!
* So let's start with this one - yes, it's a balloon, but it's filled with enough Helium to lift even the chunkiest of Toons off the ground with ease. Why, it'd help you fly over the battlefield, over Obstacles and even Cogs. I don't have an inventive name for it yet, so I'm just going to call it the **Floaty Balloon**.
	+ (**Task**) I'll need your help to test out these 3 Floaty Balloons in battle. Try to stomp on 3 Cogs with this Balloon. And if you need more, feel free to come find me.
* Well, it worked as expected! Fantastic! I'll add that to my list of ToonTools to recommend to Toon HQ!
* The next one is a little bit tricky to use, but I think it'll be a fantastic addition to any Toon's arsenal. By combining Shrinking Tech with an ordinary jack-in-the-box, I think I can store a Gag inside for later use. Then, you can throw the box out to somewhere out of harm's way, and use that Gag on an unsuspecting Cog! They'll know none the wiser.
	+ (**Task**) Let's have you test out the Gag In A Box next. Fill it up with any Gag of your choice, and use it remotely on 3 Cogs. Again, do come back if you need more of these.
* Outstanding results! Although, I kind of expected that one to work.
* This one, I'm not too sure. Remember Moira Cowbell's music? Well, sadly, I couldn't figure out how to rework this into a Sound Gag, but I did find a surprising use for this. It turns out Cogs absolutely hate this sound, and will stay away from battles if you drop one of these down.
	+ (**Task**) Of course, I can't confirm this with a sample size of that one Cog I passed by. Try this out - see if you can repel 3 Cogs from joining an ongoing Cog Battle by putting one of these on the field. It should last you about 3 turns each time you do.
* Well, well. That was unexpected. Still, I'm happy that my replacement ToonTool worked after all.
* You've been a huge help to me so far, (player name), so as a little treat I've also taken the liberty to customise your ToonTool pouch. You should be able to use two different types of ToonTools in a single battle now. Maybe it'll give you some time to try out my new experiments too!
	+ (**Reward**) Free refill on all ToonTools, Carry 2 ToonTools in Battle
