New clown item: Calliope/Steam Organ
#1
So, I've been re-listening to The Magnus Archives (no spoilers in this thread, don't worry), and I thought it would be neat if there was a calliope that the clown could use. It would be bought from the guy in the clown hole (i forget his name), for somewhere around 1000 credits (might be a bit too pricey), and it would work like the midi piano, just with a different sound. Now, since real calliopes can be heard from up to a mile away, I feel like the one bought from the clown hole guy would be a fake, while a real one could be bought as a traitor item, possibly working like an amplified vuvuzela? I also had an idea for a traitor calliope that is a lot more Magnus Archives-y. When it is interacted with, it would bring up a menu, similar to the one used when you interact with a piece of paper, displaying 2 options. The first one, "Play", allows you to play it like you would a regular calliope, and the second, "Screamer", would bring up a list of songs. Each song would have a different effect when played. So, for example, Entry of the Gladiators would, after a certain amount of time, summon a few ghost clowns that beat up anyone not wearing a clown outfit, and would disappear after a little bit. I think that another one could force everyone in a radius to do the dance emote. I feel like you should be able to hear the songs from across the station, to stay true to how it works irl, and to basically be a giant warning sign that there is an evil clown. Anyways, that's my idea, I hope it isn't too terrible. (also, only traitors would be able to use the traitor calliope, and there should be a cooldown for specific songs)
