History Roleplay / AirlockedRoundTwo

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Choromatsu sheepishly admits that he was doing this during the power-swap motive when he received Nari's ElementalPowers and accidentally set a pillow on fire. Later, [[spoiler:Jack, possessing Rhys, tells the whole courtroom that Rhys used to do this to posters of him.]] Everyone is disgusted to hear this information.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Queenie, [[BewareTheNiceOnes of all people]], does this in response to Lee's betrayal.]]

* DifficultySpike: Done intentionally for the third case, as the first two were solved in two hours each, a huge contrast with Round 1's going in circles with theories.

* MinimalistCast: Jane is the only player character who meets Yl'lb at the ''Temerity''. This happened because most of the Champions who stayed behind did so because [[RealLifeWritesThePlot their players]] [[AbsenteeActor were busy]].

* StandardStatusEffects: One sabotage consists of these, including Slow, Cold, and Zombie.

** A KinkMeme story talked about an in-universe TrollFic where one ShockingSwerve was that C.E.C.E. was human. Not only is an organic character named Cece one of the new [=NPCs=], but [[spoiler:a similar reveal happens at the end of the round with C.E.C.E.'s Round 2 counterpart, P.A.L.]]

** In week two, Cece says that it's only been her, Kip, and PAL until the Champions arrived. [[spoiler:PAL, not P.A.L.. Unbeknownst to both Cece and the players, they're separate entities and the latter is Kip's alter ego, so she's more right than she knows.]]

* HotterAndSexier: While any R18 content has to fade to black or be taken off the community, with the romantic focus of the in-universe game and all the innuendo and teasing thrown around, this round beats out even ''[[Roleplay/Trustfell3TrustFallWithAVengeance Trustfell R3]]'' in "rounds you really might not want to read at work."

* ZettaiRyouiki: Nari lets Junpei know that she has a thing for this when they're discussing Yuuri in a nurse outfit.

-->"Families argue. You can bicker and fight and be so mad you wanna throttle 'em. But you never stop loving them."
-->-Queenie

* AscendedMeme: [[spoiler:Jack, after having taken over Rhys's body,]] calls a number of characters by their {{Fan Nickname}}s.

* ChekhovsGag: [[spoiler:The pregnancy test gag comes back in week one. It doesn't do anything to the plot until week eight, where Nari urges Queenie to use her PIP to clear up her pregnancy scare.]]

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Queenie reflects on her own world at the second TruthTellingSession and stops in the middle of her musing to gasp, "I think [[spoiler:my sister's boss is an imposter!]]"

* {{Foil}}: While Clarith is a NervousWreck and Mai an EmotionlessGirl, they look like {{Palette Swap}}s (with white and black hair, respectively, and the same hair ribbon), they've both had to take care of ill mothers and deal with everyone being against them back home, hesitated to open up to the [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth kind and pure]] souls who started hanging around with them anyway, and have massive issues with hating themselves.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In week two, Cece says that it's only been her, Kip, and PAL until the Champions arrived. [[spoiler:PAL, not P.A.L.. Unbeknownst to both Cece and the players, they're separate entities and the latter is Kip's alter ego, so she's more right than she knows.]]

* WhamEpisode: While it was [[TrollingCreator teased by the mods]] for a while, it's still a shock for Kip to reveal that [[spoiler:they aren't in a virtual reality after all]]. Later, he adds some backstory for Season One: [[spoiler:Bolton killed one of their Overseers]].

* SexyWhateverOutfit: When the living's formalwear is replaced by Halloween costumes, Church gets a "sexy BigBadWolf" costume. Arianna gets to be a sexy deer, Clarith is Snow White with some of the skirt turned see-through, and Cece and Kip show up in matching lion-tamer and sexy-lion costumes. (Kip is the sexy lion.)

* SleepingWithTheBoss: Defied by Cece, who turns down all of Kip's flirting because she reports to him (not that she'd want him anyway). At least four different Champions ''do'' take him up on it, though they see him as an AuthorityInNameOnly.

* EveryoneIsBi: With the clear exception of Clarith, who only likes women, nearly everyone likes multiple genders.
* EverybodyLives: [[spoiler:Week five, where the investigation reveals a [[InterruptedSuicide preventable death]] that is successfully stopped.]]
* ExcitedTitleTwoPartEpisodeName: The one ''Airlocked!'' episode we see named [[spoiler:in Kip's interrupted Spetflix marathon]] implies that the show has these. However, the later IC wiki mostly has Western-style episode titles, with the one named in R2 grandfathered in.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Lee starts out defending [[spoiler:Jack for his ForYourOwnGood justification for keeping Angel isolated and forcing her to kill and betray at his will]], then realizes halfway through that that's what her own handlers did to ''her'' for the sake of their conspiracy. She stops thinking he's so great after that.

* CentralTheme: Sometimes, you can keep on doing the right thing and you keep getting hurt. That doesn't mean not to keep doing it.

* LoveHotels: [[spoiler:Deadland is temporarily moved from Mason's Harbour to a love hotel on a tropical island.]]

** {{Foreshadowing}}: Kip gives Ardyn a kiss on the hand and bows, apparently because of the latter's regal demeanor. [[spoiler: It's actually because he's the tallest Champion in the mansion, designating him leader to an Irken like Kip.]]

* ShoppingMontage: We finally get to see a trip to Mason's Harbour Costco.

* EveryoneLives: [[spoiler:Week five, where the investigation reveals a [[InterruptedSuicide preventable death]] that is successfully stopped.]]

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:Subverted. Queenie has a scare very late in the round and starts imagining raising Nishitani's child now that he's gone, but the PIP's pregnancy test comes up negative.]]

* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: [[spoiler:Kip Larimer and P.A.L. are the same person, an exiled [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Irken]] who became dependent upon affection instead of repulsed by it.]]

* BootstrappedTheme: ''Stand By Me'', which started as a fourth-wall leaning joke undisputably became this [[spoiler:following the final trial, in which the remaining Champions chorused it together in the face of their uncertain fates.]]

* ForegoneConclusion: Since the same player can't have more than one character make the survivor pool in rounds 1-3, there was never any chance of [[spoiler:Finn, Mai, or Takumi]] surviving.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Choromatsu sheepishly admits that he was doing this during the power-swap motive when he received Nari's ElementalPowers and accidentally exploded a pillow. Later, [[spoiler:Jack, possessing Rhys, tells the whole courtroom that Rhys used to do this to posters of him.]] Everyone is disgusted to hear this information.
