Hunger Games Simulation: Beyond the Possibilities

Lol at Nitori getting into a Gangsta Paradise parody and Iggy killing the Horned King for negatively reviewing Jojo (either the part Iggy specifically comes from or considering how Jojo is listed in the Database/Wiki, the whole series)

And I guess Iggy becomes a PAW Patrol wannabe too

I imagine the whole series for extra Disproportionate Retribution.

Anyway, Inventor joined another game show and called Yesod out for cheating just like Lady Luck!

Renamon destroyed her knife and zapper? I think she's insane.

Going with my previous theory that Dr. Manhattan is the Pizza Man’s new host, it makes sense he gave someone bone hurting juice. Normal Manhattan is too neutral to do that, but Pizza-possessed Manhattan…

...I'm trying to figure out what that dog event even is supposed to be referencing, but I seem to be drawing blanks. (Edit: looked it up, and god I love the idea of Jeff trying to tell the story, but then he goes off on a random tangent about eraser-erasers and the color green.)

And this is twice my tributes have tried killing someone and got blocked in an anticlimax. The simulator's taking its revenge.

   "Well, dear viewers... now is the time! When we last saw the Hunger Games, Yesod left us on a nail-biting cliffhanger, alluding to events that had yet to happen! I'm sure you're all desperate to know what he was talking about, right?"   

:// no

   "You don't count, machine. Now! For the moment of truth! Yesod was gifted with portents of..."   

NIGHT THREE◊

•    "...that's it? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?"   
  • :// the fox is wise: blood is plentiful: chances to survive, few
•    "What's the saying again? "Like taking candy from a weird baby-looking human"?"   
•    "Oh, I'm aware."    Gabriel stares out of the window, clearly lost in thought.    "I am very, very aware..."   
  • :// imagine having a sense of taste
•    "Important question. Are these memories from before or after Yesod was transformed into a machine? And is LEADING ME ON WITH FAKE FUCKING CLIFFHANGERS one of them?"   
•    "Congratulations to the Panem University of Literature on their newest graduate! Shame about his blatant insanity. And about Tornado Man's cold-blooded murder of their faculty. But I'm sure that's business as usual for them!"   
• :// inner demons huh: may i request: you leave some for me
•    "...but he was already a... and the Guardian doesn't have... and then he... I... I give up. This place is resolutely anti-sense."   
•    "Cyborg is sent back to a time period before all his fancy implants existed, and the universe subsequently erases him to prevent a paradox! Another tactic I could make use of myself..."   
•    "What is it with canines and these bold claims? Listen - win the damn season, THEN we can say you were masterminding the whole thing! Or are you all bark and no bite?"   
•    "Ah, yes, my favourite character - Chaos Cave Einstein, from DIC's masterpiece Amid Evil! And Amitie's there, too!"   
•    "This again? Machine, do       you       have opinions on all these zippers and roars?"   
  • :// no
  •    "Inspiringly blunt, as always."   
• :// delilah has sold rin: FIRE: the fire has given rin: DESTRUCTION: for free: my kind of generosity
•    "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? Don't worry, you can say someone other than me. I know you're just trying to make them feel better."   
•    "Arrow to the knee jokes?! This kind of pop culture necromancy is a FAR worse sin than murder!"   
•    "And it's worse than theft, too!"   
• :// mercy: a mistake i am sure never to make
•    "And as night turns to day, Sailor Moon decides to pay her nominator a visit! How nice. Maybe you could convince them not to callously leave you to die."   

DAY FOUR◊

•    "HEY! I'M the host, telling terrible puns is MY job! Cute dog, though. Lovely coat."   
•    "...ew."   
  • :// the purpose of flesh: sustenance: this i have known since i was activated
•    "Calamitas makes incredible new breakthroughs in the science of laziness! Yeah, indeed... bitch! Sloth is a sin. I hope you all remember that at home."   
•    "Bye, MAGES! Hi, MAGES! Here to teach Guardian a lesson on the pitfalls of arrogance, are you? Excellent!"   
• 🚫
•    "After all of his drug abuse and useless bumbling, Tornado Man confesses what I could have guessed all along - he never wanted victory to begin with! But neither does Jeff, apparently. Never has mutual survival looked so awkward!"   
• The camera pans down to V1, who is busy finger-painting along to a Bob Ross tutorial themself. With blood. Don't ask whose.
•    "In case the viewers are wondering, I, personally, keep my armour spotlessly clean with THE HOLY MIGHT OF THE FATHER, STRONGER THAN ANY MERE GRIME! And bleach."   
•    "Spoilers! Einstein dies in 1955!"   
•    "NO! NO NO NO NO NO! THE APOCALYPSE IS       MY       JOB! I WON'T FUCKING SAY IT AGAIN!!!"   
•    "Ah, poor Samara, unaware of the Inventor's tragic death by stale meme."   
•    "And while we're on the subject of embarrassing deaths, Uni appears to forget that gravity exists! My, isn't that just the most colourful stain on the ground you've ever seen?"   
• :// arthropods: overrated: too small to bleed
  • V1 says this while still crouched like a child over their bloody finger painting. It's adorable, in its own weird way.
•    "Speak for yourself, Scheiße."   
•    "If the machine bought an automobile, something tells me it'd go something like this."   
• :// borgir
  •    "Why exactly did they decide you'd make a good co-host again?"   
•    "It's a dog eat dog world in the Arena! Literally! Congratulations, Iggy, you're one step closer to being a big bad boss!"   
•    "Picksore Animation Studios presents the heartwarming tale of Jack Spicer and his five emotions - Smugness, Anger, Total Detachment, Flavin, and Mister Bean!"   
• V1 pulls out a straw of their own and a glass of suspiciously red liquid.
•    "As the young mortals of this age say, big mood, R.O.B."   
•    "Oh, no, you're in the right place! Cooking with dragonfire saves a fortune on electricity!"   
•    "YES! SLAY THE FALSE GOD! CONDEMN HIS PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A SOUL TO - ahem. Sorry, it's not becoming of a host to be so clearly biased."   
•    "As the update began with Tails being disappointing, so it ends with Tails being disappointing. Fox feces indeed."   

FALLEN TRIBUTES◊: Cyborg, The Inventor, Uni, Renamon, Zeus

   "Awwww, that's a nice painting, machine. What's it of?"   

:// the tormented souls of countless fleshforms doomed to end their existence soaked in their own blood

   "Never mind."   

How delightfully evil, Pythor.

And I'm out. Sorry about that, Samara, but I wonder why you were looking for Inventor when you two never directly met.

Having arguments over file formats as a running gag seems weirdly in-character for Jeff. Of course he would be nerdy enough to know their intricacies.

Also, how is it Jeff has gotten an opportunity to kill someone, but hasn't... twice, now?

Boba, plz.

Dr. Manhattan’s taste for bitter chocolates is more proof he’s possessed by the Pizza Man, since Alex does know how bitter life can be.

I'm out.

Usagi's a nice girl, so she'll forgive me for nominating her in a death game. Hopefully. I think.

By the way, what do you think of her being inadverdently cloned earlier?

Also, I guess Iggy is secretly the strongest member of the Stardust Crusaders. No wonder he got taken out before fighting DIO in his source material.

It's not even the only time it's happened recently, funnily enough.

Which one, the cloning or the deal with Iggy?

Cloning. Season 288 had two Reis.

Wait what?! Was this because the other Rei was in a group trib?

She was nominated once standalone by troper101 and once as part of a group tribute by myself. Not that anyone remembers the second one.

Is it mean for me to say I'm slightly pleased that she outlived her clone? I've probably jinxed it, but oh well.

If I had a nickel for every time 101 accidentally cloned a Sailor Moon tribute who's part of a small/medium-sized GT, and said clone outlived the GT counterpart, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

Let's take a look at the sky, shall we?

Hmm. Nice purples... some lovely magentas... ooh, that's a nice spot of indigo over there...

Alright, skywatching time is over. Time to return to the season, featuring your hosts, Violent and Violenter.

   "I HEARD THAT!"   

NIGHT FOUR◊

• Excerpt from The Awesome History of the World, by Chaos Sonic:
  • "[...]which brings us to the V Incident. Such a horrible fate I would not wish on my worst enemy, let alone on an innocent boy band member. (Speaking of bands, check out Chaos Sonic and His Chaotic Crew's debut album, out now on Robotnik Records! It's awesome!) Fortunately, there was absolutely no need to combine the powers of a bunch of inferior nobodies to rescue dear V, for Chaos Sonic had such awesome power that he could single-handedly pull it off[...]"
•    "Such awesome power literally at your fingertips... and THIS is what you use it for? It stinks, indeed!"   
•    "Py-who? Oh - the snake! Can't say I blame you, he's been doing a whole lot of NOTHING!"   
  • :// i forget no name: i forget no face: none can run from me forever
•    "That tornado just helped Robotnik more than any of his, and I quote, "nincombots" ever have. Nincombot... that's a good one. I'm using that next time the machine wants a go."   
•    "Professor Frink absolutely roasts Sailor Moon, and it doesn't look like she has a comeback! That's zero out of two Sailor Moons still alive!"   
•    "Chocolate rain! Some stay dry, while others quote memes so old I doubt half our audience was around for them! And it looks to be purple rain, as well... can't be helped, I'm afraid."   
• V1 is now wearing a short green wig. :// assessment: hair is overrated
•    "Peeta may be a       baka   ,    but you, my friend, are an       otaku      ! And I think we can all agree which is worse!"   
•    "Iggy wonders if you can eat the concept of being a mastermind. To which the answer is, become one and you'll find out! GO ON! STOP POSTURING AND DO IT!"   
• :// i am fond of zombies: they make funny little groans when you shoot them
•    "Considering this challenge was designed for beings who aren't, oh, I dunno, NIGH OMNIPOTENT, I hardly think this is fair!"   
•    "A curse on... reality? On the Stone Age? Are you going to ask for spoilers about the life of Albert Einstein next?"   
•    "Well, will you look at that! A lovely plate of cookies! I almost want to try one noOOOOOOOOAAAAAGHHHH RIN WHAT THE FUCK"   
  • :// CONSUME THE FLESH: CONSUME: CONSUME: C O N S U M E
•    "...someone just committed MASS CANNIBALISM, and the fox is the one who disgusts yet impresses you?!"   
• And so, throughout night four, the tributes were serenaded by the sound of mournful mariachi. And "She Blinded Me With Science".
•    "Flammable disinfectant! An ingenious invention, but it does beg the question... why tho???"   
• :// ERROR: REFUSING TO PROCESS EVENT
•    "Rest in peace, Nitori. Your memory lives on in the sight of Muu bopping along to your theme, which is good, but still no "The Death of God's Will". I mean, what in this sullied mortal world could top that?"   

DAY FIVE◊

•    "Disgusted yet impressed again, I take it? i keep saying judging souls is my fucking job can't these asshole tributes stay in their lane grumble gripe"   
• this but with poo in place of rorschach◊
•    "...I...       what?!       I-I mean... Sage and tomatoes, I suppose they're both red?"   
  • :// also red: blood
  •    "CAN YOU SAY A SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING THING THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE BLOOD?!?"   
  • :// yes: i have much knowledge of firearms
•    -deep breath- "...naturally, the greatest genius in human history knows all about road safety. HA! No blood for you, machine!"   
  • :// it is only a matter of time: thirty deaths remain
•    "If we've learned one thing from this update, it's that cookies could be a harbinger of FAR worse things than a terrible taste on your tongue. Appreciate your good fortune, Lewyn."   
• // explosion averted: entering mode "disappointed"
•    "Oh. thank the Father! I don't think I could handle more cannibalism..."    Gabriel shudders enough for it to be visible through his armour.
• :// BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD
  •    "Oh, come the FUCK on, machine. Are you really that desperate? Look, you've got your nice little sippy-cup right there!"   
•    "...speak for yourself."   
•    "Dr. Robotnik: master of robotics, yet cannot overcome a simple button! This is the kind of beautiful irony only the Father's hand could create!"   
•    "And they say Tetris isn't a violent video game. Look, Mommy, those blocks just turned red!"   
•    "After countless failures to use his head, Tornado Man, surprisingly, can't survive without it. Rest in weed smoke, you mechanical moron!"   
•    "Hey, I like bread too! AND complaining! Especially if it's about machines!"   
•    "rin pls"   
•    "Ah, nothing like a nice cup of coffee to take your mind off the sight of a human devolving into a cannibalistic monster. I wonder if all those souls cohabiting her body are wearing on Rin's sanity..."   

FALLEN TRIBUTES◊: Sailor Moon, Yeah Science, Bitch!, Barty Crouch Jr., Supreme Calamitas, Leaf, Nitori, Poo, Muu, Tornado Man, Magic. (snort snort)

   "Join us next time for another MARVELOUS update! This time hopefully with 100% less cannibalism!"   

:// what do you mean: hopefully

   "machine I swear to dad"   

How has Pythor not gotten a kill yet, being as evil as he is?

What’s weirder is that Keith did and he’s a nice guy.

And so Rin takes the lead for Mass Murderer by developing a disturbing taste for her fellow tributes' flesh. Yikes.

Looks like I did jinx it. Sorry, Usagi!
