Jabbar started to run... I will make it! I will make it!
He jumped 🦘 on the flying carpet, whizzed into the air, and landed in front of Doc's house.
- Doc! Shall Om I mean JiHigh! I mean SalAm! I want to sign in! What is the fee?
- Good Morning Jabbar! How's your Sun? Why you come to my house? The Clown School is 10 min walk. Plus you signed in already. And there is no fee at all, just rewards!
- Aistaghfar Allah Kama la Yafeal Alnaas! Did I!? Goodie! Sometimes I don't remember things!
- But you didn't forget your Shishah, ...laughed Doc
- No! It's glued to the left hand. It's a Hashashins ritual! Doc! My Friend!
- Jabbar Matey! What you're up to?
- Up to the Sky Doc! Jump on 🦘🦘 Let's go to the Clown School! 🏫
Wooooshh! ^
- Landed! I am so happy we are laughing! Doc! Please, keep this magic carpet, it's self-cleaning!
- How will you go back, Jabbar?
- I am not going back! I signed in! : D Show on!

Under the sounds of the best techno beats, arriving from the never sleeping island of Mykonoooooos after a wild Saturday party, DJ GustaMojito enters the clown school. Carrying a dj deck that says "MADE IN JAPAN" on his back, and swinging his double weapon which consists of a shiny golden handle that has two discs made of adamantium on its sides. It looks like this O--------O and has a 10% chance of decapitating with each hit (no save). He looks at everybody and says "Let me entertain you" while he casts Channeled Sound Blast filling people with pure sonic energy and making the walls jump around. The fiesta has just started.

Here comes Sawyer, the former lawyer.

He was a lawyer with little enjoyment in his life, reading only statute books and codes of law.
But one day he found a book filled with jokes and funny stories on the floor.
Reading it had make him laugh and he forget his strife. This way he has found a new meaning for his life.
Now he try to learn how to bring a laugh to everyone. And he won't stop until this is done.
Before this his spoken language was sublime. But now he think its funny to only talks in rhymes.

The eclectic group of would-be clowns find themselves magically transported to the colourful surface of the planet XJ-71.
In front of them is a grinning circus tent with a cloaked, shadowy figure stood in front of its entrance.

"Welcome to your new home for the coming months" the words seem to fill the air around them rather than be spoken.
"I trust that you will keep me amused as I do so hate to be disappointed. I am also looking forward to my new garden sheds, with lots of shelving inside and maybe room to setup a model railway."

The tent giggles behind him and the shadowy figure sighs.
"As I am sure you have noticed, the Big Top behind me is no ordinary tent. All constructs on this planet are sentient beings capable of adapting their physique to accommodate any life-form. They feed on nutrients in the air and lack any malevolence so there is nothing to fear from them, unlike myself. This tent goes by the name of Snuggles, be sure to greet him as you enter through his mouth."
"Now get moving, you will be paired up with your partners shortly."

How this will work is as follows - you will be paired off with another clown. I will roll two dice for each of you and this will determine how you perform in your task. You will not see the dice score though, only I will see that.
What this means is that even if you have created the most perfect, gifted clown in the universe, if you roll a two then you are likely to stand facing a wall dribbling while the crowd boos.

I won't score you on your performance, instead two other clowns will be picked randomly to do it based solely on what they think of your showing. Because these clowns are being picked with random.org it will result in some getting picked to give a score more often than others do.
This is not favourtism on my part, it is completely random.

Everyone's score will be noted next to their name on page 1 and at the end of the 5 tasks those scores will be tallied up. This will determine the order in which people get to choose a prize.
Don't be sad if your clown scores low or doesn't act entirely as you had hoped, I have to use my imagination to make it work for a diverse bunch of creations to perform in each task.
Remember that at the end of the day this is done for a bit of fun and in my eyes everyone who participates is a winner.

I will keep it open for late comers to join until the end of round one.

"Deja vu!" exlaims Abdullah Oblongata. "I'm either getting too old for this, or getting abducted every once in a while is so passé," he matters under his breath.

He looks around, carefully taking in Snuggles' enveloping presence. "Well, at least, this is 'different':"

I admit I haven't fully understood what is asked of the three others to do, but I think we shall see.

All clown pairings are in post 5 of page 1.
Let me know if I have missed anyone out.

Patting his trouser pocket with his left hand, he waddles towards Snuggles and lifts his hat in greeting with a deep bow. When you sit up, you can hear the old bones cracking, but the sad smile doesn't diminish this. He simply cannot shake the feeling of being digested as he passes through his mouth - but Bosco trusts in his robust constitution and waddles towards chance.

You just need to witness/read the five competitions which the clown participants that you're assigned to score are participating in, then score them based on how they performed. Please anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

As I have explained to CarChris in chat just now, I will post here -

If you are picked, you give a score of 1 - 5 on how you think the clown performed in his task.
He may have messed up his task but in a very entertaining way so you might think it deserves a high score anyway.

I don't believe I would be that anxious as I am now! It's better not to watch!!

Interestingly number 47 will compete against number 74. What cosmic horrors will this pairing bring upon us?

So, everyone can be randomly selected to give of score to the other clowns ? Depending of the priorities in Real Life, it may takes a while for some people to vote, no (not online every day) ?

That's not a problem, I can carry on posting while waiting for scores to come in and if it is taking too long for someone to get back to me, I can just select someone else to to score the clown instead.

Uhh. If Snuggles feeds on nutrients in the air, what does it need a tongue for...?
(The fact that you are paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an eldritch monstrosity who wants to devour you)

And what else aren't we told? ;)
