Stygian Lord: Next: Sharpie, I need you to contact your “family”.
Sharpie: ...Top Hat’s already here.
Stygian Lord: I know. I mean the other one.
Stygian Lord: Cacko and the Mad Lord will enter the Slums. Thanks to you lot arranging a Gathering Festival in the east, the west side should be mostly empty. That allows us to control what happens there.
Sharpie, thinking: So makin’ us distract the hobos with cards was part of his plan, too...
Stygian Lord: It is here, in the Slums, where the show begins. And your family fits perfectly as the opening act.

Stygian Lord says:
It’s been a long time, so let me give you a little refresher about hobos and their families.
Usually unrelated by blood, each family consists of just a handful of friends, like-minded individuals, or just random people who bumped into each other on the streets. These few people in the family hang out together and usually share a roof (or at least a common resting place) and do their best to distribute tasks among themselves so they don’t starve.
Sharpie formed such a family for himself in the Slums. But as you have already seen, these are not your average bumbling citizens.
