The wizards watch Chibi do... whatever she's doing.

". . . Huh. Reminds me of the time someone got hit with a spider polymorph spell. A man sized spider in a robe never looked so hilarious and terrifying at the same time. In some ways, the caster DID get the transformation right. Just not the retaining the mind part."

"That guy never lived it down. He's still known as the spider wizard. And he claimed to be really good at polymorph spells... hahaha no! Not even close."

"Say, Bree knows magic...I wonder where she is.."

The skies of the Fordanet....

Out in the sky, a figure can be seen, her hair is so long..Thats Bree! She's been using up all her magic at the moment to keep herself in the air, but it feels like she cant take it anymore and is about to craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

(After everyone in the Troper group gets into the bus, the doors close and the Chey Bus drives off. The bus passes by some beautiful lavender fields followed by a sign that says "WELCOME TO DIXON, CAPITAL CITY OF PREFECT". Also on the sign was the planet flag, which consists of the colors from the pattern on Ford's jacket, and the motto which says "United we stand".)
"Ohhhh, Zarquon, Chey?"
"Yeah, Fordie?"
"Is this that planet where you dumped off all of those clones of me that one time years ago?"
"Yes. I chose it because of the space lavender growing in the fields."
(They pass by some gas stations, a few houses, and a small windmill farm before heading into downtown Dixon. It was a big, bustling, and thriving place full of big buildings, plenty of places to shop and eat, vertical farms, a couple hospitals in different parts, apartment complex buildings, and most importantly, happy people walking on by, all having some resemblance to Ford.)
"Those clones have done one hell of a job building up a civilization here, hasn't they?"
"Smeg yeah!"
(Delilah smiles as she points at some of the sleek, modern buildings.)

Meanwhile over at the Sunflora Apartments building...

(Garfunkel, Cilla, and Kringle were outside.)
"What's in that case?"
"These are what Chey refers to as Hoi Poi capsules! They contain a different mode of transportation in each one. You just take one and throw it on the ground..."
(Garfunkel takes a capsule and throws it on the ground. A 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan then appears.)
"And volia! We now have a van!"
"Well, let's get a move on."
(And so, the trio put their belongings in the back and set off in the van.)

Downtown Dixon

"Alright, now where's the government building? I'd like to meet the ones running this place and tell them that we're their competitors for the planet tournament thing."

"Oh great! Now we can kill a planet made out of our friend! Anyways, no im serious where's Bree-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Bree falls into the bus, causing a rip in the ceiling.

"Huh... Seems these Fords have built some sorta utopia for themselves... Society if we were all Ford Prefect, I guess."

"more like ford perfect amirite lmao"

"And we're gonna have to destroy it.." Bree looks horrified.

"WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WHAT?!"

"We don't have to destroy it, dumbasses. It only gets destroyed if we win."

"And we have to win?"

"WHAT???"

"Ooh, but what if instead we team up with them to destroy the gamerunners?

"We're like five episodes into this arc, Robin, it's not gonna happen.

"Yeah well this time I wanted to suggest it early in the episode instead of during the countdown!"

"I mean if we can tell them the truth about what happens if they lose, we could actually save another planet."

"If they will believe us that is!"

"Or, we make sure they win by not trying. Let's grab some lunch instead"

"Yeah! Lets go to Mcdonalds!" "..." Bree looks confused.

"We're not the only team, you know." The seals are here, I guess. "If we want to make sure the Fords win, not trying isn't enough."

"We also have to sabotage all the other teams."

"It's like — you know when you were young, and people would tell you, 'try your best, but don't cheat?' We do the opposite of that."

"Cheat and try our worst."

"???" Somehow the confusion was audible. "Oh, so this was how it felt.."

"Anyways, i have a plan, half of us (ME INCLUDED) do jack shit and go to like...b!rg#r k!ng..And the other half sabotages the other contestants, including ourselves...Wait why was that redacted."

Edited by Chibi-Robo on Jan 24th 2022 at 2:22:49 AM

Both wizards stop and... wait. They seem to be doing nothing?

"Do our worse while sabotaging other teams..."

"I mean... I could do that. But er... how do we not get caught?"

Briya makes a thinking gesture to tell the other Tropers that she's thinking. There are more subtle ways of communication that only wizards can pick up.

"I mean... we are unpredictable as a whole."

Whatever subtle change Briya did, Lola reacted to it...

"Well. I mean... the Tropers ARE diverse. Why not weaponize that? And then- Wait lets NOT do that part!"

Edited by sci300768 on Jan 24th 2022 at 2:43:40 AM

"What part?" She goes uncomfortably close to Lola.

"The short version is something explodes and that's the BEST outcome. The worst is... well... there won't be a city left standing when the plan is done."'

"We did that plan once. End result was a destroyed city. We have never used that plan again."

"Oh. Let's do that on New Trope City!"

. . .

"Shotgun?"

"NO! Too noisy! Sword?"

"NOPE! Too much blood to clean up afterwards!"

"Knife?"

"I really am trying to NOT maim any Tropers before the actual challenge. And we were talking about murder methods. And we are not going to do those!"

She's telling the truth.

"I dunno, there's some people here that deserve maiming."

“We could get a suppressor?”
