The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (Part 1)

Hey there! My name is David, but you can just call me Dandy Doo.

I've been homeschooled by my mom for basically all my life.

David: Hey mom, I found a stick!

Mom: Don't touch that! You might poke yourself!

She was pretty protective, but she's a great mom

Mom: You see this note? It reads C.

David: And what are these notes?

Mom: I see you take an interest to music!

I grew up thinking that the world was much more innocent that it was.

The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (part 2)

The reason why I was homeschooled was because there was a problem with the muscles on my left arm.

My mom decided it would be best for me to stay home while the doctors get the problem fixed

So what did I do in the meantime?

I played music and drew in my free time.

Mom: You've got real talent in art!

David: Maybe I'll be an artist or a musician when I grow up!

Mom: Well, you might change your mind when you get older, sweetie.

And when I got older, I did become a musician. Kind of.

The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (Part 3)

Mom: David, sweetie, I can't just keep you inside this house forever.

David: Why not, Mom? I really like spending time with you!

Mom: You see, the real world is much larger than the two of us. I want you to understand that.

David: Then... what should I do?

Mom: Go out and do something adventurous! Use your talents to amaze people.

David: Yeah, I guess. Maybe I'll play music in the public.

So after saying bye to my mom and hugging her a hundred times. I set out for the world.

David: Wow. There are a lot of people.

Person: Hey! Someone! I need help!

The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (Part 4)

David: *walks up to person* What is it, kind sir?

Person: *thinking* Good. He seems like he'll make a great Moxie user.

Person: I'm really low on cash!

David: Oh, I could just give you some-

Person: No, no. It has to be specific cash.

Person: *points to cq and nugget sitting on a bench* I want you to steal some meat from those girls over there.

David: *Steal?* Why not just ask her?

Person: Then that would defeat the purpose!

The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (Part 5)

David: I- I guess I'll try, then...

shot of cq and nugget talking

David: *attempts to blend in with the crowd*

cq: *notices that he's standing suspiciously close*

cq: Hey, buddy, what are you doing?

David: *bows down* I'm so sorry! I was told to steal money from one of you!

Nugget: Steal? Why not just ask us!

David: Because that would defeat the purpose!

cq: Huh. It's not that common that someone would try to steal money and apologize when discovered.

Nugget: We could... teach... you to steal from us?

David: Huh?

The Kingdom of Loathing: Dandy Doo (Part 6)

cq: Yeah, you wanna steal our meat, right? Then we'll teach you!

Nugget: Even though we're in the Mysticality class...

David: Hm? What's this about Mysticality?

cq: You mean you don't know yet? That's one of the classes for adventuring!

David: *remembers his mom's words* Go out and do something adventurous!

David: How do I do adventuring, then?

Nugget: Oh, you just talk to the Toot Oriole and he'll give you the basics.

Person: *listening in* This is going much more differently than I expected.

cq: We'll lead you there if you're interested.

Toot Oriole: Oh, so you like music? Well, you can steal things while playing music!

And that's how I became an Accordion Theif.

Pretty soon, I became a part of the small group with the two girls that I was supposed to steal from

I think I've made Mom happy. I just wish I could see her sometime.
