Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Victor Kleskow's exclamation mark Alright, kids, I'm back from my court-mandated Intensity Management Training. You seem more relaxed. It's nice to see you focused on just enjoying the music. Yeah. I mean, music is the point, right? Just relax...listen to it being played...enjoy it... *listens to kids playing music badly* Okay, that's not gonna work. If Victor Kleskow is owned: Task: "Make Victor Kleskow Give Music Students Tough Love". The job takes 4 hours. Turns out I can only enjoy music if it's played well, and it's only played well through hard work and discipline — Kleskow Style! I knew a kinder, gentler Kleskow was too good to last. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Victor Kleskow's exclamation mark You kids really fell out of practice while I was away, but I'm gonna whip you back into shape. Aw, man. Now I'll have to get extra inhaler refills. Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but overhear, and you know, I think you're right. You need to whip these kids not just into musical shape but actual shape-shape. I'm listening... Might I suggest some actual marching? Hmm...like a marching band? Everyone hates those losers. Which makes it the perfect way to drill these losers into musical shape! Better double that order of refills, Milhouse. Already on it. If Victor Kleskow is owned: Task: "Make Victor Kleskow Lead a Musical March". The job takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Victor Kleskow's exclamation mark Now they're too out of breath to play well. I should have never listened to unsolicited advice from a three-star general. That's because they're not taking their training seriously. If these were my soldiers — uh, I mean musicians — I'd put them through an obstacle course. I just happen to have one that you're free to use. How will running an obstacle course help them play better? Do you have some ulterior motive? No. OK. Had to ask. And now that you've answered, I can proceed with your ludicrous idea. If Victor Kleskow is owned: Task: "Make Victor Kleskow Bark Orders at Kids". The job takes place at Daws Butler Hall and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Kids Run a Musical Obstacle Course" (x5). The jobs take place at Daws Butler Hall and take 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Victor Kleskow's exclamation mark Now that we've finished the obstacle course, let's play something easy. Chopin? *tries to play* *passes out* Well, the kids are even more tired to work on their music! Oh, well, maybe now you can have them do some rifle drills... Wait a minute! Have I just been training these kids to be soldiers for you? We like to begin indoctrination early now. Oh, heck no! I may be a strict disciplinarian, but I want my kids to make art, not war! If Victor Kleskow is owned: Task: "Make Victor Kleskow Lead an Artistic Revolt". The job takes place at Daws Butler Hall and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Kids Tear Down an Obstacle Course" (x5). The jobs take place at Daws Butler Hall and take 4 hours. Well that was disappointing. I didn't take you for a dirty hippie, Kleskow. Happy to disappoint you, General. I take it you learned a valuable lesson about pushing kids too hard, Mr. Kleskow. I definitely did, Lisa. I need to keep it up so that you all become good enough musicians that you won't be tempted to join the army. *sigh* Quest reward: 200 and 20
