He became a traveling comedian in New York City and later with met Chocolove McDonell. Orona first messed with Chocolove, with a blood bag as a gag. Chocolove, who had joined a gang after his parents were killed on Christmas, tried to kill him with a gun, but he missed. Orona tries to reason with Chocolove but is forced to use Mic to attack him. Orona said that it would take a long time before he can save the world with laughter. Chocolove thought that it was the funniest thing he ever heard, and Chocolove asked him how he did it and what kind of animal Mic was. Orona was surprised that he could see Mic and recognized him as a shaman.

Orona trained Chocolove to become a shaman for six months on the riverbanks close to the Brooklyn Bridge.
