Jack and Jake's backstory

- John and Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt--

- Just call us Jack and Jake.

'''- Sigh. Jack and Jake, at your service. As long as it's not boring, it doesn't cost us too much, and it's not obviously illegal. '''

''- Slightly illegal is fine. Even very illegal, if you have the right cover story to get us out of trouble, or you can grease a few palms...''

'''- After all, we live in a caravan cart. City authorities don't have jurisdiction over people who aren't in the city.'''

''- We move around a lot. Can't be a traveling handyman if you don't travel!''

'''- Twice the work for half the cost. That's our motto!'''

''- Except it's more like one and a half times the work. For maybe nine-tenths of the cost.''

- Either way, it's still more work for less cash.

''- And we make up the extra in other ways. For example, we happen to be remarkably talented musicians.''

'''- We also compete in dragonchess tournaments. There's no strategist alive who can match our ferocious wits!'''

''- It's just like the old saying goes... Jake of all trades--''

- Excuse me?

- Oh, hurt your feelings, did I? I do just as much of the work as you, I think I should share the spotlight.

'''- Shut up. Anyway, you can find us... honestly, anywhere. We tend to frequent the cheapest taverns in town, but we'll perform on street corners and wander about seeing the sights as well. Just ask. We'll be around.'''
