Prompt response;

Tupai grinned. "Oh, I love jokes! What do you do if you see a blue banana?" She paused just half a second before bursting out "You try to cheer it up!"

"Hehehe" one of the bonkers heads chuckled "Banana jokes, huh? How about one that's a little more on the nose? What kind of key do you use to open a banana?"

The other head glanced at Tupai, and then at their companion. "A MONkey! Bahahaha! I LOVE that one."

Tupai smiled. "Okay okay, one more. What do you get when you give one banana to two monkeys?"

The duo looked at each other and then thought for a second. They then perked up and answered at the same time, "A banana split!"

Prompt response;

"You're asking an old man to tell a joke to entertain two young ones like yourselves?" I question, holding back a snort.

Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have agreed so readily to do this. It had been years since I had been anywhere near the town. I suppose it was my own fault.

Something tells me if I hadn't told the young Petra I would be willing to help with anything, I probably wouldn't be in the town, babysitting after this-er-these troublemakers. I had meant what I said, however. Even though it wasn't my young visitor that had asked me to help, she had given me such puppy dog eyes when we had woken up this morning by another visitor asking for help that I simply couldn't tell her no.

It wasn't a bad idea to get off of the Northern mountains a while anyway.

"Uh, old man? You gonna.... come up with that joke?" the left head questions. Or... was it the right head? Ah, I think My right, their left.

"Just give me a moment. I haven't thought of a good one just yet."

I hadn't thought of one at all yet, so wrapped up in considering why I was in this situation I forgot to focus on the task at hand. I was becoming a tad spacy in my golden years.

"Well, just hurry up old man. We're getting bored." the other (their right?) head spoke impatiently.

"Yeah" the other head added, "If you don't tell us a good joke quick, we'll just get back to it."

Well, that certainly wouldn't do. As it were, it would already take hours to clean up the mess they had made. If they continued on with their wanton destruction, Gloom Day celebrations would be ruined for everyone.

"Ah, I think I have one. Just let me get my thoughts in order."

I had a secret weapon. I might have been a poet once upon a time, but my father was a master of jokes. I just had to make sure I delivered the punch line just right. But first... I needed to have a little fun...

"Knock, knock!"

"No!" they both yell in unison "Not the banana joke again! We couldn't possibly take it one more time. Please, try anything else."

I chuckle a little and clear my throat.

"What did Odysseus say when the cyclops asked him who was perfect?"

I wait a moment before completing the joke myself.

"Nobody!"

A joke?..REALLY?! Now I'm not the greatest at jokes, most of the ones I know are either really cheesy, really simple or kinda dark..Well at least I'm not trying to fight a guy with two heads, though it would be a first.
"Alright..but fair warning these may be kinda cringe.." I warned them sitting down in front of them. "Oh that's fine, those are just as funny too!" the first head said happily though the second head seemed less please with that idea but agreed anyway.
"Go for it.." the second one said.
"Ok.. what movie did the two meatballs see at the theater?" I pause for a minute before replying " Mission InPASTAble."
The first head burst into laughter while the second one seemed less impress. "That all you got?" the second one asked,
slightly annoyed at the first head. I sigh, seems the second one is going to me more challenging then the first one but I do
love a challenge. "Ok.. a Station master asks the head conductor to his office and says 'you're the worst train driver ever. How many have you derailed this year?' and the conductor replied ' I don't know sir it's hard to keep track.'.." the first head was still laughing at the first joke but then he stopped and looked at his twin in surprise. I look too and at first I was confused but then I heard something, a little chuckle. This chuckle grew louder, and louder, and louder. Till finally he was tearing up laughing so hard they fell over. "Wow..I didn't expect that.." I say looking at the kjaku on the ground.

Kjaku participating; Gilroy
Prompt response; Gilroy sat down, his fluffy tail poking out from behind him as he made a somewhat comical thinking face, scrunched up and his eyes almost somewhat squinting out of existence. His wings were flipping through being at full alert, slightly drooping, and being completely folded up. A good joke, huh? Gilroy was never the comedian of the family, but he certainly had started to learn to perform from Iago, and perhaps that would help. What could he do? For a moment he wondered, only for him to remember something. Iago having barged into his lair simply to tell a joke, one that had stayed with Gilroy for at least a week now. Perhaps...he could tell that one.

He hopped up from his sitting, being on two legs for a second before falling over on his face in front of the giggling duo. “Aha...that's...not the joke, give me a second.” The male nervously giggled, cracking his back before getting back up on all fours. He looked behind himself, noticing that he could use the area around him as a sort of...stand up comedian stage. It wasn't really a stage, but he certainly could stand up on an elevated space to tell his joke. The red Kjaku noticed how high the space really was, and swallowed down his nerves. Could he really jump up that high? His legs tensed up, and the little lad was ready to jump for a second, but he clearly misjudged the distance, suddenly going to desperately try to kick himself up on top of the platform. His first two legs were up all nice and dandy, but the rest of the body was clearly trying to catch up.

He could feel the eyes upon him, and the giggling from the monkey-souled Kjaku. His back legs almost seemed to be acting like a cartoon character’s as Gilroy finally lifted himself up on the platform. The Kjaku looked over at the others, his heart racing at a million miles a minute. He coughed a bit before rubbing his own chest to calm himself down. For a second, this seemed like a bad idea, but Gilroy swore he could hear Iago’s british laughter in the back of his mind when he thought of the joke...and he hoped the joke would make these two laugh as well. If not for himself, Gilroy had to gather the courage so that he didn't leave the others at the rambunctious will of the two headed duo.

Gilroy puffed his chest out. Here it was. The joke of the moment. Do or die. His voice at first left him like a dying squeak, but then it lead into a more confident blabbering sound. “A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a monkey in the front seat.” Gilroy thought about making up a voice for the policeman in the joke, ending up with a somewhat gruff dutch accented voice. “”What are you doing with that monkey?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."”


There was no going back now. The joke was already full speed ahead. “ The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the monkey again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. The dutch accent returned as quickly as he could manage it. "I thought you were going to take that monkey to the zoo!” He felt himself grin, and almost giggle at his own joke. He choked out a small bit before the final punchline. “ And man replied...“

The voice that left him at the punchline was an obviously fake british accent. His voice dripping with humored intentions, and confidence in the joke doing well. He really did hope that these two laughed. He didn't even know if they'd giggle. But he truly hoped so. "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"

Prompt response;

Man, did he hate waking up early.

Honestly, it wouldn't have been so bad had it not been for the frantic urgency in the voice of the kjaku who roused him. There's a big hullabaloo down by the square, they'd said anxiously. We've all tried to calm them down, please come try, they're not listening to anybody!

So much for sleeping in after his late night with that bartender fiasco.

When he first steps into the town square, he's almost impressed by the sheer amount of chaotic destruction littering the grounds. A moment later the irritation and indignance sets in, and he's marching steadily for the two-headed (two-headed??) kjaku that's still tearing up what used to be some sort of market stand. No way, josé is he going to be losing out on sleep for this, not in the slightest. He'll pass out in the middle of the square if he has to.

Despite his righteous fury, he can't help the unsettled prickling that travels up his spine when one head snaps upward, right blue eyes fixing on his, followed shortly by the second. Their movements cease, the grins present on their twin faces widen, and immediately the kjaku begins to bound towards him gaily.

Uh oh.

Both heads begin to giggle, quite literally sliding to a stop in front of him as they begin to chatter amongst themselves. Despite their playful tone, the way the much larger kjaku circles him is almost threatening.

Through the noise, he manages to catch that they want a joke, and if it's good enough, they'll leave.

"A joke," Lansing reiterates slowly, his ears forward and his eyebrows raised as he watches them nod furiously. If that's all anybody had to do and I was the one they woke up, I swear...

A good joke. It has to be a good joke. Well...crap. His repertoire is full of specifically terrible jokes. Somehow, he doesn't think these two will appreciate bad puns.

And yet...what if his joke is so long, and winding, and anticlimactic, and downright boring that it has the same effect? He's not good at jokes, in the traditional sense, but by the stars is he good at bad jokes.

"Okay..."

Both heads continue to watch him, their grins mischievous and cheeky.

"You want a good joke?" Lansing's tone is relaxed and even, despite the small smile betraying his glee as he dons his story-telling voice. "I have an excellent joke for you. So, there was a tramp walking down a country road one cold winter morning, minding his own business. Suddenly, heard a cry for help from a nearby lake..."



Nearly ten minutes have passed by the time he nears the punchline. His regal voice hasn't faltered or slipped, and he's thoroughly enjoying himself as he watches the kjaku's heads droop. The larger brown creature has long since taken a seat, and one of their paws is supporting the chin of the first head. Both sets of eyes are fluttering. So far, it's working.

"...The captain exclaimed, 'Most amazing of all was how you managed to survive smashing through this boat! Tell me--how did you do it?' And the tramp looked out over the crowd before modestly answering the captain, 'Well, you see, I am but a poor tramp, so you must understand...I've been through a lot of hard ships in my life.'"

And as he watches the kjaku slowly begin to come back to alertness, he hopes and prays that they take it well.

Kjaku participating; francis
Prompt response; the kjaku was already irritated by the call for help, and it hadn't even been the first, with all the problem creatures working their way into the spotlight. while they were glad that they had a decent reputation because of it, despite their often unpleasant demeanor, it was becoming too much of a nuisance. with wearing patience, they made their way into the center of town, stopping short at the sight of the two-headed ruckus. what fun. francis slowly approached, opening their muzzle to snap out some command, but they couldn't help but fall short when the first of the two took notice of them. slowly, they made their way closer, doing their best to keep their features stoic. a joke? this entire situation was a joke. their gave swept area as they pondered the deal, taking in the mess that had become of this place. the duo didn't seem like ones to so easily leave. they clearly didn't have an average sense of humor, and francis knew of no jokes. with narrowed eyes, they looked back to the blue-faced twins, taking a bold step even closer. "the only joke," they spoke, emphasizing the word, "is you two."
