Introduction
Hello frens! Welcome to Clown's second clowning class! Today we will be taking our knowledge to a new horizon, we leave the cold depths of Europa, and take to the stars, entering the cold void that is space, and arriving to one of the various stations! Our goal today remains the same though, to assist those wishing to join the Mother, and spread Her will throughout the universe!

In today's lesson we will be going over many of the same topics as in our previous guide for Europan clowning, however, while the topics may be similar to that guide, the contents and tips will be different. Please enjoy as we learn how to assist the Mother, and bring joy and enlightenment to all those we come across.
How to Begin
Creating Your Vessel
Well friend, the first thing you must do in order to begin your journey, is to design a vessel for your soul! Now there are a variety of species, hairs, skin colors, eye colors, and other attributes to choose from, and you may use any you like, after all, it is your body! Just be aware that when designing your vessel, that some species will be unable to wear shoes or hardsuits. Certain species come with abilities as well, our personal favorite is the Felinid's ability to hide in side of dufflebags!

Selecting a Job
Now among the stations, you will be assigned a job upon your arrival to the station, and luckily, you are able to put in a request prior to arriving. Obviously you can select the clown occupation for optimal tomfoolery. The clown is a popular job however, so your request may be denied, and the station's clowning supplies are extremely limited. We suggest selecting clown as your primary job, and selecting a few other jobs similar to clowning as your secondary jobs. Some good other options include: Mime, musician, boxer, or any other job you fancy. Just be sure you're willing to do other jobs while you spread the word of our Mother.

What do I do if I don't get the Clown Job?
Well friend, it is very likely your request will be denied, so what course of action should you take should management decide to place you in another job? Well, there are few options and none should be out of your mind as a resourceful clown is a good clown! Firstly you may simply do your assigned job as intended while clowning around and entertaining your crewmates, just be sure to help out your team mates should they request it, every job is vital to the station's survival. Secondly, you could visit the Head of Personal, or H.o.P, to request a transfer over to clown. This doesn't always work and depends on the HoP, but often they are more than happy to oblige, just be aware that clowning supplies are limited and you may have to use another costume!
Clowning and it's Basis
What is Clowning?
Simply put, clowning is the means through which we spread the word of the Mother and carry out Her wishes. Clowning is the art of entertaining, bringing joy, and the pursuit of comedy itself! Clowning is your number one objective as a clown, and the most vital part of your journey in becoming one of the Mother's children.

How do I Clown?
Well fren! There are a multitude of ways to clown, and no two clowns have a single style, so it is mostly up to you to decide how you wish to make your fellow station members giggle and chuckle. Remember though that our goal is to maintain a good image and spread the word of the Honkmother, so please try to keep illegal, harmful, or mean activities to a minimum, you're representing not only yourself, but other clowns, mimes, jesters, and the Mother as a whole, so how you clown reflects upon all of us!

Examples of Clowning
Clowning is a very deep and diverse art, including a multitude of ways to entertain your station members and make them burst with laughter, so there is no need to follow this list to a tee. You may, and should develop your own routine so long as it doesn't bring harm to others! Be creative, think outside the box, and find new and clever ways to prank and surprise those who come across you, the joke isn't as funny the second time!
Examples of Good Clowning:
  • Putting a banana peel in door ways
  • Placing soap underneath someone's feet as they go to leave
  • Pieing someone in the face
  • Dumping space lube in the hallways

Tools of the Trade
There are a variety of tools we clowns use in our day to day expeditions of spreading the word of the Mother, but these tools are most coveted, and are a must if you can get your hands on them! These items for one reason or another stand out make excellent tools for causing a bit of hilarity aboard the station.
  • Omega Soap: Soap that is super slippery, sometimes spawns in normal soap spawns.
  • Space Lube: Can be made by chemists by combining water, silicon, and oxygen.
  • Clown Backpack/Satchel/Dufflebag: Honks when you press the bag symbol. Spawn with it as clown.
  • Bike Horn: Honks. Spawn with it if a clown.
  • Foam Blade: Deals no damage. Can be found in various places in the station, including hidden rooms.
  • Banana Cream Pies: Pies that can be used to pie people! Spawned sometimes in the clown room. Chefs may or may not be able to make more.
Conduct
How Should I Conduct Myself?
As a clown, your actions and conduct reflect, not only upon yourself, but on all Clownkind and the Mother herself! As such, you should try and conduct yourself kindly, and with respect for others, even should they be rude to you. Never start fights, the Mother is trying to repair Her reputation, and being overly aggressive ruins that progress. A good clown always smiles, even in the face of those who are rude, we must be better than those that seek to strike us down.
Epilogue
Hello and thank you once more for stopping by to learn about the Honkmother's ways. We hope this guide was useful to you in your journey! Good luck, and stay awesome, we're proud of you!

-Sincerely,
Clown
