Surlee?
That's strange, Professor Prepostera said he was in here.

Flippy, I'm not sure we should go in. How about we'll just stop by tomorrow? I need to go get the news ready, anyway.
Tomorrow, Slappy will be another Laff point higher than myself. I can't have that happen, Max. It's beginning to hurt my campaign. Now help me find where he keeps his notes about Laff in this pile of papers.
He only has 42 Laff points, Flip. That's five higher than you are. Really, it's not a big deal.

lockmgr:(info) Filing Cabinet D :: Manually Opened

Not a big deal? The President of the Toon Council is supposed to be the silliest toon around, and somehow someway he is sillier than I. Surlee knows how Laff works, and he is a good friend of mine. I'm sure he won't mind me learning on how to increase my Laff. Now, please help me find these notes.

I don't know about this, Flippy. This place gives me the creeps. Look at this eye thing. I swear to you that it is staring at me.
Don't mind it, it's just some cameras he has been working on. Alec is using them in the election from what I've heard.

:lockmgr:(warning) Filing Cabinet C (locked) :: Attempted Open
:lockmgr:(info) Filing Cabinet E :: Manually Opened

Wohohoo! Blueprints! Max, help me look through them. One of them must have his notes on Laff.
What... What are all of these? I've never seen anything like this. Or this, either...
The mind of a scientist. You know as well as I do that Surlee is one of the most intelligent toons of Toontown. Leave them be - we need nothing but the Laff.

Is this it?
Yes! Aha, Yes! This should do alright. This should do toontastically. It's got one of those silly ciphers on it, however... I can't make anything of it. Can you?
Of course I can! Let me take a look.

Uh huh. Yep. Yep, I'm seeing it. You see-
Nope, just messing with you. I can't read this at all.
Sometimes I don't know about you, Max... Look, here's a copier. I'll do a quick scan and figure it out later.
I don't know, Flip-
Boop. Too late now!

Just trust me on this, Max. I've never led you wrong before.

Blueprint

Blueprint decryption method:

Vigenere cipher - key is "lafter"

Decryption (Top to bottom, right to left):

  • Laff: Preposterous particles found in Toons and throughout the air, sort of literal "good sense of humor."
  • Pure Shapeonium mold: Adjusts color and shape based on Toon appearance.
  • Laff indicator: Channels and displays Laff in the funny bone of the Toon.
  • Emergency Shrinkaporter: Laffter is necessary to the life of a Toon. Lack of Laff = immediate erasing. Shrinks Toon and teleports to nearest playground upon reaching 0 usable Laff.
  • Left eye: Usable Laff
  • Right eye: Total Laff
  • Laffing mouth: Absorbs Laffter in the air of playgrounds
  • Note to self: True nature of Laff is too silly to be specifically defined -- unknown by Toons. Look into harnessing potenial.
