When Used
|
|
| You toss the ball from hand to hand, which isn't juggling, but it's a start, I guess.
|
|
|
| You juggle two balls in one hand, tossing them, catching them, gently squeezing them. You look really cool doing it, until you drop one in a sewer grate.
|
|
|
|
|
| You cup two of the balls, then toss the other into the air, and manage to juggle three balls for several minutes. It's quite the workout, and you're all sweaty when you finally miss one and it rolls away.
|
|
|
|
|
| You set the four balls in motion, tossing them from hand to hand, keeping track of the complex motion and rhythm of each throw and catch. It's quite a brain workout. Finally you get mentally exhausted, lose track of one ball, and it seems to vanish into thin air.
|
|
|
|
|
| You try to juggle all the balls, but you can't keep them all in the air at the same time. You've finally been promoted to your level of juggling incompetence. You lose a ball to a passing hobo as you try to gather them up.

- Trying to use any after already losing 3 balls today:
|
|
| You start to juggle, but then stop. You've already lost three balls today, and you're not keen on losing any more.
|
Notes
- Using any number more than 1 consumes a single ball.
References
- Being promoted to your level of incompetence is a reference to the Peter Principle, which states that employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, because promotion is decided by their performance in their current role, not the one they're promoted to.
