Johnny and Mary are probably standing around holding something that they planned to use to help and thinking "Well that was quick".
Usually they have to come up with a plan or invention to defeat a enemy but now they are working with people who can handle the various strange trouble that appear.
I just realized if Dukey saw Johnny hanging out with Scrappy he will probably have a little freak-out and think he was replaced.

Exactly my thought! I am a little sad that we didn't get to see what Johhny and Mary planned, it would have been either awesome or hilarious. Also random though, should we give Kimiko the Mantis coin like a sign of goodwill?
Though I like the thought of doing actions that could generate some goodwill between Jack and Kimiko we do not have enough Wu to give any away.
Though if we reveal that we have saved Dojo it may make it easier to convince her to join up, though she may be a little upset that she was not told earlier the fact that Jack saved his life could generate a little goodwill and keep her from being too angry.

Kevin E Levin Breach, Yoko and Gendo were made by @LordEdric
As everyone else slowly begins to leave the tent, probably wanting to leave, you slide up to Scaramouche. "Hey, can I have that magic whip?"
"Heh, you're the boss, babe." The android chuckles as he tosses you the whips.
Alright, so... how should you test this thing out? Phantasmo summoned that ghost guy, so many you can summon someone too? You're not entirely sure who you want to try and summon, though. You could try one of the other monks if they're not really dead... but you don't want Kimiko to punch you if you end up summoning their corpses or ghosts. So, who -
You stop as you remember those two plushies you won. You're still not sure who Summer and Ruby really are, but they may be good choices. With a smirk, you flick your the whip and -
96+69=165
- two women, literally, pop into the air and quickly fall down to the ground with two small oofs.
Getting a chance to actually see the two in flesh, you come to a realization. They're not sisters, like you though, as one of them is obviously much older than the other one. Huh. Well, you blame that on how similar the pushies looked.
The young of the two, Ruby based on her red cloak, slowly turns towards Summer and... squees and chokes at the same time. "M-Mom!?"
"W-Wait..." Summer mutters as she -
71+46=117
- and her daughter are covered in cotton candy as Johnny bursts into the tent, a strange-looking weapon in his hand. "Alright, evil demon ringmaster man, it's time for you to, wait, is the fight already over! Aw, man!"
"Wait it is?" Jaune asks as he rushes in behind Johnny. "Huh."
"Jaune!" Ruby shouts, her head whipping towards the blonde swordsman. "What's going on?"
"... Uh, hi? Do I know you?" Jaune asks, looking... a bit flustered. "Because, if I do -"
"Ruby!" Summer suddenly speaks up, hugging her daughter.
"Okay, now I regret charging in here. It's really confusing." Johnny mutters. "Hey, monkey guy, do you mind if I just leave."
"Go right ahead." You answer, too focused on trying to understand what's going on.
(Reward: Summoned Summer and Ruby Rose. While they are not hero units yet, they will be staying in your temple and will help defend it in case anyone attacks it. While you, IC, have not realized it yet, thanks to your high Occult roll you, OOC, now know that failing a "Whip Roll" will produce a random effect that can be helpful or troublesome. Mary Test has created the "Cotton Candy Blinder/Restrainer", which gives +5 Martial to whoever has it equipped and a -5 to all enemy rolls if an enemy is hit by it. Currently equipped to the Test Family.)
. . . . . . . . . .
As you finally leave the tent, your two new "friends", Summer and Ruby, start bombarding you and Jaune with a hundred different questions. So, to get away with that, you quickly turn a corner and -
"Stop eating me you stupid dog!" Screams... a moving glov of cotton candy. "I don't want to be eaten!"
... Okay, maybe this circus was weird before Phantasmo got his claws into it. Because, even though you've seen a lot of crazy things, living cotton candy is a new thing.
"You!" The thing shouts, pointing at you. "Can you please get rid of this stupid dog? It won't stop eating me from the inside out!"
... While you've just beaten an evil demon, well Scaramouche and Le Mime did, you're not willing to argue with a random candy monster. Especially since he quickly pulls out a dog-shaped glob of cotton candy and tosses it at you. Then, a giant tongue emerges from the sugar-covered dog, licking off all of the cotton candy off it's face -
"Uncle Scooby Dum!" Scrappy yelps. "What are you doing here!"
"Looking for cluuuuueeeeeesssss!" The grey dog declares as he gets up on his hind legs, pulls out a magnifying glass, and begins examining your Monkey Staff. "Oooooooo! A cluuueeeee!"
"Hey, stop that!" You growl as you pull the staff away, right as Dum was about to grab.
"So, this is your other uncle, Scrappy?" Googie asks skeptically.
"Dum Dum Dum Dum." Scooby Dum exclaims, as if that explains everything.
(Reward: Thanks to your final choice in this mini-turn, Scooby Dum will join you as a... less than competent hero. Discovered the Cotton Candy Glob.
. . . . . . . . . . .
"Huh, I was actually planning on going to Beacon." Jaune mutters, a small flash of worry appearing on his face. "So... I guess you might be from the future?"
Ruby simply facepalms as she notices something. "I just realized this. Jaune, where's your Aura?"
Jaune, thankfully, asks the same question you do. "What's an aura?"
Ruby sighs, with her mother giving Jaune a concerned look, before she goes on to explains the basic mechanics of Aura. You don't really understand what seem means by "the Grimm", but you think you get what's she's trying to say. At least, you hope so.
"So, do you understand what Aura is now?"
"... I guess." Jaune shrugs. "So, how do you unlock your Aura anyway?"
Ruby groans, puts a hand on Jaune's shoulder and begins to mutter something. Soon enough, a slight glow begins to envelop Jaune. "There."
... Huh. Maybe you should ask her to unlock your "Aura" next.
(Reward: Learned more about Jaune. Jaune has his "Aura" unlocked. Jaune may also have a crush on Ruby Rose?)

"And this is Marius Brancusi." Doubleday introduces the younger man. "He inherited this place from his old man."
"Thanks, Whitney." Marius mutters as tries to stay awake. "So, I'm still not sure what happened. Uh, why are we in China?"
After explaining what Phantasom really was to yet another person, Marius seems to partially believe what you say. "I don't really believe in spooky stuff like that, but I don't really have a better explanation. Though, that does make me wonder, whatever happened to those werewolves?"
"Oh, I'm sure they were just more of his minions." Doubleday quickly says before anyone else can speak up anything.
"Hmm, that also makes sense. But now I'm wondering where all of those precious jewels they stole are."
"Archambault," A new, deep voice adds. A man that's taller than even your largest Jack Bot stands before you, with bulging muscles that make it clear that he could knock you out in one punch if give the chance, "is a bit sad he does not get to punch scary demon ringmaster. Archambault would have shown him why he should not mess with strongman!"
"Heh, now that would have been fun to see." Scaramouche snickers.
"Anyway, uh, Mr. Spider -" Marius starts, before you correct him.
"Spicer."
"- Spicer, since we're in China, we can't exactly finish our route. In fact, I think it's pretty much too late to go to one of the cities we were planning on visiting. Do you know if there's anyone who could help us get back to the U.S.?"
[] Tell him you can use the magic whip to send him and his circus back to the US. After you let everyone have some actual fun, of course. (Occult DC: 80)
(Reward: Met Marius Brancusi and Archambault that strongman.)

"Hey kiddos," Vick Van Dyke greets you as he picks up a suitcase. "nice to see you again.*
"Planning on leaving?"
"Eh, not exactly." The older man chuckles. "I'm still not going back to the states until things settle down and go back to normal. Or, well, as normal as they can be. So, until then, I'm going to try and convince the rest of my family to move to that cozy little town nearby."
Well, at least he'll be close by in case you want to chat with. And, who knows, it might be useful, having a famous celebrity living so close to you. It certainly would make it easier to sneak into Hollywood.
(Reward: Vick Van Dyke will be staying in your town until someone the US fixes itself. He will attempt to move his family members to the town over the next few weeks.)

"Hmm," You mull over how to best phrase your question, "hey, do you guys want to stay at my temple? We've got room for some more people."
"... Um, okay?" Googie shrugs. "I wasn't exactly planning on heading back to Coolsville just yet anyway. I need to find Shaggy and Scooby first, and I think Scrappy wants to do the same."
"I also need to find Daphne and Flim-Flam." The tiny pup adds. "And I need to get in contact with Mr. Van Ghoul to see if he's alright."
"Can I look for cllluuuuuuueeeeessssss?" Dum suddenly, and inexplicably, appears right above you. I-Is he standing on your head?
"... I-I guess?" You sputter, trying to figure out how he managed to do this.
"Ooooo!" He smiles, before jumping off of your head to wander around the circus.
"... I like Uncle Dum, but, sometimes, I wonder just what's going on inside his head." Scrappy mutters under his breath.
(Reward: Scrappy, Googie and Scooby Dum will now be staying in your temple. While they will be too busy to perform personal actions, you can still ask them to help you out In CK weeks. For now, Scrappy and Scooby Dum will count as a hero ball, but this may change in the future?)

With everything you need to do finished, your group breaks off to do whatever they want. Well, everyone but you and Kimiko. You two are left alone as you don't really know what else to.
"... So, hi?" You mumble nervously.
"Hey." Kimiko shrugs, not wanting to continue whatever awkward attempt to come up with small talk you planning.
As you sit in silence for a few more moments, you come to an epiphany. Kimiko did help you quite a bit, and she did try her best to fight off that ghost guy. While you doubt she'll be willing to follow your orders, you could invite her to the temple. Of course, you won't know if she'll be angered that you took over the Xiaolin temple or happy that you rebuilt it.
why not let her stay she know the temple better than us also have a warrior of fire is nice we need more firepower (eh eh see what I did there) also she will be really good with any future diplomacy with any other good guys from the show
Also want to know is the cotton candy glob going to join us to or is it staying with the circus
[x] Tell him you can use the magic whip to send him and his circus back to the US. After you let everyone have some actual fun, of course. (Occult DC: 80)
[X] Let Kimiko come live at the temple. (???)
Very good update!!! Seems the temple is quickly filling again, wonder how many people can we house in it.
