"The Best Prank of All" by spukl1
On the eve of King Skarl’s Masquerade Ball, the Blumaroo Court Jester prepares for his shining moment. He lays out his jester costume, making sure his bells are all sewn on tight and none of his patches are fraying. Day after day this jester toils away day and night, attempting to make King Skarl laugh. He rarely succeeds, but then who does? However, on the day of King Skarl’s Masquerade Ball he changes tactics from jokes to pranks around Neopia. King Skarl’s Masquerade Ball is his holiday and King Skarl expects him to go above and beyond, topping all of his previous performances. King Skarl’s Masquerade Ball is more work than any other day of the year, but he is rewarded with piles of Neopoints, unlimited bowls of Gruel and most importantly a chorus of laughs from all of Meridell’s finest on this special day. He recalls his first Masquerade Ball working for King Skarl, where his iconic line came to be: “What do you do if fierce Peophins has eaten too much tin of olives?”, the jester’s confidence soared that day since that simple line was all it took that initial year to have King Skarl cackling but since then the jester has needed to step up his game.
