Interlude – The Call  [America Group] – I am a Level 26 [Knight]. Others with me are [Assassin], [Pyromancer], [Beast Tamer], [Tactician], [Fist Fighter], etc…and one [Clown].
1.00 C  ‘A fat guy appears in a fantasy world and decides to become a [Clown].’
1.00 C  …I’m still working on the punch line. It’s the only joke I’ve got, though. I try to be funny, but really, I’m a [Clown]. I’m not actually sure we’re meant to make people laugh.
1.00 C  Curious about the parenthesis? It means I have a Class. [Clown], to be exact. Yeah. It’s this entire thing which I don’t want to go into.
1.00 C  So it’s no wonder I don’t want to fight. Maybe that’s why I got the [Clown] class. Those first few days when we were all summoned to this world, I was just trying to cope by telling jokes and get people to laugh. I’m good at being the funny guy, normally. But then I became a [Clown] and everything got a lot less funny when we realized we were here to stay.

1.00 C  That would be me. The fat guy. A [Clown]. Funny man without anything funny to say about what’s happening.
1.00 C  A [Clown]. I’m actually Level 19, which might surprise you. But when I got that class I took it as a sign. I mixed some white face paint, added a bit of red for my mouth and learned how to do things like juggle. I ran around, tried to tumble for people, told bad jokes, and generally made a fool of myself.
1.00 C  Okay, not impressive. But good. And it’s a miracle I can juggle at all, you know. It wasn’t a skill I had back home, but I learned it as I leveled up in the [Clown] class.
1.00 C  [Loud Voice]. It does exactly what it sounds like. But it’s odd. It’s not a skill that a [Clown] would really need, right?
1.00 C  “I’m—not a fighter. I’m a [Clown]. I do tricks. See?”
1.00 C  One good thing about dressing like a [Clown] is that you get baggy pockets. Add that to my Skill to pull objects seemingly out of nowhere, and I can do one good trick. And eat food when no one’s watching.
1.00 C  “How do [Clowns] level up? Is it from how long you juggle pins? [Tumblers] level up if they get a large crowd.”
1.00 C  “I think it works the same way with [Clowns]. I don’t know.”
1.00 C  “Don’t they have more [Clowns] where you come from, then?”
1.00 C  “If no one’s laughing at you, that can’t be the way [Clowns] level up.”
1.00 C  “No…[Clowns] are meant to be funny.”
1.00 C  I fish at my pocket, and then remember I’m a [Clown] and pull the fruit bun out of Wilen’s ear instead. He doesn’t look impressed, but he does look hungry. I hold the slightly-squished bun out to him.
1.00 C  People have no idea what I am. They stare at the white paint on my face and ask me what kind of class a [Clown] is. They don’t laugh, and they just watch me until they have something to do. I can’t make them laugh and take away their worries.
1.00 C  “But why a [Clown]? Clowns aren’t…”
