Hunger Games Simulation: Beyond the Possibilities

Man, still no host and a runner yet?

actually, NTC will host and Jake's currently running!

Oh, sweet.

Alright, we've found a good save! Except the first update from NTC soon

Hi, everyone! Good to be back for another season of the Hunger Games! I'm Cassandra Beech, palaeontologist, four-time host and two-time participant in the Hunger Games! And this time I've got some extra help in the hosting booth! Go ahead, introduce yourselves!

Greetings. I am Majel, an autonomous artificial assistant of ^{my creator} Nine-Tailed Cat. In addition to colour commentary, I shall be providing musical backing for your entertainment.

You may know me as Nought, demonic archmage. I'm just here to watch fools suffer foolish deaths. Can we get on with this?

One thing first...

Combat Music

Not even trying to hide your favouritism, are you.

Well, they are tributes she can refer to directly, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise! Anyway, let's meet the tributes!

The◊ Reaping◊

Eighty impressive tributes here to make their mark. A rather good turnout, I must say.

Seventy-nine more than we want in the end, though. They'll be weeded out pretty quickly.

The◊ Bloodbath◊

• ^{The experimental rock band} Moonshake arm themselves with an appropriately moon-shaped weapon.
• And there go any of my plans to hex Clytie. Blasted holy water.
• Oersted outwits Yoshimo's shell game! Good for him!
• ^{The District 6 male} Jason has got himself some firepower. I look forward to seeing how he deploys it.
• First death of the season! Count Bleck meets a blecky fate, bursting from trying to eat too much!
• And soon after, our first kill. Nice. Guess you could say Stereolab fell for Jungle Julia's tactics hook, line, and sinker!
• ^{The Great Sage of the Small Sanctuary} Biten has gotten a postcard from a county in ^{the Treasure State} Montana stuck to her posterier. You ruined the pun, Majel! So what? They're not even pronounced similarly anyway.
• Apparently Transformer Twilight can't even stand the sight of two bodies and breaks down. Pathetic. Luckily ^{the space train crew member} March 7th is here to help.
• Rue's back! And everyone will rue the day they crossed her!
• Stylish entrance, Kailani. Spacetime rifts are convenient when you use them right.
• Aww, the cute penguin's getting head rubs from Rainsford!
• Passing out just seconds into the game? Kratos, you clearly don't have what it takes.
• ^{The Prince of Denmark and his lover} Hamlet and Ophelia have a nasty run-in with the Grey Heron on the way in. Luckily, they make it out alive.
• Welcome, ^{A Demonic Entity from Hell} Inez. ...I'm insulted. She's nowhere near in my league.
• Welcome to the party, kitty!
• Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It's the Seven Tributes! There are nine of them. Come on, it's the spirit of the thing!
• ^{The caretaker of the Ruins} Toriel has been kept waiting too long. Now she needs to shave.
• Chicken's arming up!
• Dedede gets Lanolin to watch his back, but she pulls it right out! Guess he shouldn't have been so spineless, huh?
• Atlas has taken the underground to the arena. I guess I can't object to taking the low road.
• Looks like Pizza Wizard isn't as good at cup-shuffling as Oersted! Narinder's keeping all the supplies!
• The Emperor Penguin and ^{the ninja} Haru prove to be irresponsible drivers, doing a hit-and-run on the ^{cult leader} Lamb and the ^{aquatic slugcat} Rivulet. They should get their licenses revoked. See? I told you that water creature would disappoint us.
• Unfortunately, the tutorial is mandatory. Looks like the safe will be delayed.
• Ooh, who is this mysterious dame? I haven't seen her on the nomination list! ...Oh, looks like it's just Minori!
• Yes, you're doomed, Lucrezia. All you can do is find a way to make it interesting.
• You're really that bored, Clover? As if anything's better than suffering for your amusement. I like her attitude.
• ^{The wallaby} Rocko surrenders his supplies to ^{the boxer} Mike Tyson to avoid getting punched out. Not the most glorious approach, but certainly a practical one.
• Hey, that gives me an idea! Maybe the boss could start his own store! What would we even sell, Cassandra? Cloned goods? Tech? We'll figure something out!
• Looks like the lime's now a blood lime thanks to Ariem! So long!
• ^{The Soul Reaper} Ichigo just can't handle being late for his language lessons and decides to kill ^{the owl} Duo to get out of them.
• Well, Majel, looks like Suomi has overridden your choice of theme music with her own. How does that feel? I will not be petty about it. She's earned a spectacular entrance.
• Gotta say, I'm a real fan of what Buzz Blob's up to!
• Yep! Ken's white Vans go well with the rest of his outfit, don't they!
• Bowser's been dreaming of slugcats. How peculiar.
• Unfortunately, this season is too complicated for ^{that wriggling piece of plywood} the Blue Badger to comprehend and its head has blown up. Now the police will have to make a new one.
• The situation's really getting to the Roundabouts, and they take it out on Hannibal! Your elephants won't save you now.
• Alert: ^{The half-elf Seraphim} Yuan is a fake. Escort him out immediately and bring in the real one.
• Yow! Dorothy Ann's just deafened the Tomato Toppin Monster! Just be glad she didn't sound that horn near our ears.
• That alliteration would have worked better if ^{the nominator} computerfan0's name started with S as well.
• Nice gift, Ichika. But are you tough enough to deserve it?
• Chuchu and Till Lindemann have had a Freaky Friday body swap thanks to Chuchu - now Till Lindemann - doing some spooky magic! Whoops! Way to mess up the intro! I can make it real if you want. After all, I do have spooky magic myself. Please refrain, Nought.
• That kitty's got sais! Let's see how it's gonna use them!
• Ha! Yes! Defy your nominator, Alexis, and seize your own fate! Looks like ^{her nominator} Ozbourne is here to talk her out of it. Well, so much for reducing the competition that way.
• Wait, I thought Devil Fruit users couldn't swim! Guess Uta's found a way around that, huh?
• Clover steals DB's supplies and adds a rather gross insult to injury. I'm a literal embodiment of mortal vices and even I'm above that. Disgusting.
• ^{The biker} Francis really should have known better than to follow instructions from curious food items lying about. It became his last meal when he became too big for the Arena. Rest in peace.
• And Matilda, Lobotomized Weezer, Dalv, Cat Rotation, ElTorro64Rus, Louis, Edgar, and Phil simply run away. How anticlimactic. You know, it is the opposite of a climax, Nought! We're just getting started! You know what I mean.

Day◊ 1◊

• ^{The District 11 female} Rue shows remarkable mechanical skills, turning a microwave into a time machine. Maybe the lab can hire her if she makes it through the season!
• Chuchu- I mean, Till Landemann gets himself a new pet and makes it snappy!
• Apparently Alexis is an insult to pizza wizards, being neither pizza nor a wizard.
• March 7th is planning on inflicting fates worse than death on computerfan's past winners. Yes, yes, such sweet cruelty...
• My guess is that the word is "luck", knowing what I do about ^his Clover's abilities.
• Ha! And dog-stealing from Chicken. This is getting good.
• Looks like Atlas couldn't hold her milk! And unlike Transformers Twilight, March 7th isn't here to resusitate her! Bye-bye!
• ^{The half-elf Seraphim} Yuan gives up some of his memories to become a fancy waiter. Are we sure this isn't still the impostor?
• ^{The hunter} Rainsford receives just about every addictive substance out there from a sponsor. I am quite concerned.
• Rocko and Toriel have made teleporting gelatin bananas! Seems like a lively snack!
• Looks like Blasternaut will be solving the math problem, "How many knives can be stuck in a person until they perish?" ...Or at least he would be if Matilda weren't such a terrible shot.
• An unconventional combination, Clover, but seeing as I don't require typical organic sustenance, I am not one to judge.
• Just goes to show how tasteless you are, Suomi. Don't be silly, Nought! She's just tasting what she already tastes all the time! Yes, go on, ruin my perfectly set up insult.
• And through the power of deceit, Edgar's impaled Biten on his nose. I approve.
• Guess Heffer thinks to Tomato Toppin Monster needs a bath! Or is trying to tell them some princess is manipulating them. That has occurred before.
• And now ^{The Cerberus of Forested Silence} Enoko has mistaken ^{the hunter} Rainsford's weed for firewood.
• Next time take the Phone Police seriously, Piet! Bowser might not be there to bail you out!
• A safe plushie. Really. Better than a dangerous plushie, right?
• Unauthorised access attempt! The ^{electric blob} Buzz Blob wants to turn our server into a gaming server! It kind of is one already!
• And Dalv is being sickeningly saccharine. I hope that flower wilts. Such hope will make it grow faster, Nought. ...Drat.
• Looks like Dorothy Ann couldn't find anything good to say about Hamlet and Ophelia. Who's surprised? But they took it well!
• ^{The tank trio} Jatkosota's BT-42 Trio has created a ^weatherman Phil games simulation with an excessively high number of clones of him.
• Wonder what's so embarrassing about Inez's shirt? Can't read it from here! Probably something to do with demonic entities. I resent that.
• Looks like Rita's not having good luck with weapon reforging! And that's why you leave magical weapons to those who know what they're doing.
• Cursed Kailani is real and will haunt your dreams forever. Remember that, Jason.
• ^{The boxer} Mike Tyson's body is ready. Ready for boxing, I would hope.
• And here I was getting my hopes up that we'd have a spectacular kill, but no, it's just Chuchu playing with tribute dolls. Why must this game let me down so often?
• Actually, that's not the case. Like most birds, grey herons are endothermic or "warm-blooded", regulating their body heat internally, rather than exothermic or "cold-blooded", so its blood's temperature- Did anyone ask for a biology lesson? No? I thought so.
• I hope Yoyoyoyoshimo enjoys his nananananap!
• Lanolin's not even that colourful anyway. Hardly a difference.
• Cheer up, Ken! Barbie may be having Girls' Night again, but at least Galactic Commander is there for you!
• Scared out of your clothes by a bug. How pitiful.
• It seems we need to improve the efficiency of welfare offices. Or Uta just needs to get a new job.
• Ooh, a cookoff! I wonder who's gonna win it? Unfortunately, I don't think the ^messenger Spearmaster stands much of a chance, as they cannot taste.
• ElTorro64Rus loses the use of his legs to Ichika. No more running for you.
• And Louis pays Minori an impressive 5,500,800 yen just to figure out that Biten was in fact impaled by Edgar's nose. I wish mortals would make me offers like that more often.
• It is written that ^{the doppelganger} Livmen will be defeated by an Adelie penguin. Let us see if that prophecy comes true.
• Clytie wants to get on a magazine cover! Good luck with that! I'd offer to help, but given your use of holy water, I neither can nor intend to.
• There's not enough room on the bus for ^{the human Seraphim} Kratos to fit comfortably, and the tributes are singing about it. Catchy tune!
• DB, watch out! A POIsonous snake! ...Too late! That really bites, doesn't it?

Fallen◊ Tributes◊

• Casualties: Count Bleck; Stereolab; King Dedede; The Lamb; The Rivulet; Lime; Duo; The Blue Badger; Oversimplified!Hannibal; Francis; Atlas; Biten; DB
• Nominators out: LucasdaKool
• Remaining tributes: 67/80

Not much blood in the Bloodbath this time. A pity.

It'll pick up! See you tomorrow for the next episode!

Edited by NineTailedCat on Jan 29th 2024 at 1:11:18 AM

As expected of nominating favourite character, Atlas died without doing anything important RIP, at least Uta still alive, for now at least, btw how did you could swim since you're a devil fruit user?

Edited by Justkong033 on Jan 29th 2024 at 2:57:28 AM

Not even a day and I’m off to a “good” start.

…damnit, Biten.

The Finn girls' law is that we will only open attacks on anyone who dares to think of trying to kill us immediately first.

So have some fun while we're waiting for real action to happen.

Nice to see Minori becoming a knight, even if she's a different type from the ones in the Knight of White card set, as well as being paid a lot for investigating a death. Oof at one of the Touhou tribs getting killed though, considering how good her theme is.

As for Ichika, I see she's following the Wheelchair Jetstream Sam song and inflicted that fate upon ElTorro64Rus. Also I just noticed that the fanart ULF uses as her trib pic has her in her school uniform like Minori.

Meanwhile March 7th went from being a savior to a villain really quickly.

And lastly, interesting to see how Rocko and Yellow!Toriel invented a specific type of time machine. Now I hope they won't be pursued by a shadowy organization.

Edited by Billy5545 on Jan 29th 2024 at 5:59:15 PM

toriel with a beard just makes me think she's cosplaying as her ex-husband

Edited by DubhKafkaesque on Jan 29th 2024 at 11:18:33 AM

And then out me

Did she grow a beard and clone herself? But go figure, a canonical murder sheep is among first blood.

Also, I couldn't find Suomi's theme, so IDK... the Finnish national anthem played in the Arena, IG? And btw, did Alexis try spiting Oz by attempting suicide, or is Oz spiting her by talking her out of it?

Anyway, I guess Matilda hasn't mastered learning how to use her telekinesis with her eyes closed. Also, did Heffer use sign language to tell TTM to sit in the bathtub, or is TTM just a good lip reader? And speaking of the one who deafened TTM, it's clear that D. A.'s better at scientific essays than literary ones.

Louis must've printed money during zombie apocalypse somehow... heh, that's the only logical explanation.

Dan's already dead.

Hello again! Who's ready for more Hunger Games Simulation? I sure am! Let's get to it! Majel, cue up our next song!

As you wish, Miss Beech.

Combat Music

There we go! Now, on to the Games!

Night◊ 1◊

• I'd agree more with the second part than the first. All Rita's done is unmask people and make terrible weapons.
• Jungle Julia's caught a symbiotic virus! Training her stats should be easy now!
• Your own master now, Transformer Twilight? Let's hope taking control of your fate makes you actually do something interesting.
• Your help is much appreciated, ^wallaby Rocko. The simulator still has many upgrades needing to be applied.
• For the worse is good, Jason. You do you.
• You're getting an extra T in that sandwitch, Rainsford! Guess it's a tea sandwich now!
• ^{The bounty hunter} Yoshimo shows off his 17 Strength by carrying ^{four other tributes} the Emperor Penguin, Livmen, Ned, and Ariem back to his camp on his own. Impressive.
• You can't just walk out on Clytie's speech, Daijin! Even if it does drag on!
• Don't let ^{the weatherman} Phil drive the bus! Bah, that kind of thing belongs in a children's book, not the Arena.
• Wouldn't want to ruin Uta's cream, little butterfly! Otherwise she might whip you!
• And that is why you don't let ^{the weatherman} Phil drive the bus: ^{several tributes} The Roundabouts, Suomi, Zero Escape!Clover and March 7th have been struck and injured.
• Lucrezia's tapped Minori's phone! So now it produces mana for her? No, not in the Magic sense! In the spyware sense! Then they should invent spyware that makes phones produce mana for you as well.
• I think Narinder could use the support more than those three, Tyson. That's oddly compassionate of you, Nought. What? You expect me not to support my fellow demons?
• Entire mountains? Wow! Wonder what the accident was that made Oersted stop?
• ^{The Brain Trust member} Edgar has found a sock in a bakery. It must be the baker's laundry day.
• Well played, Louis and Buzz Blob! One quick trick, and Galactic Commander, Clover, Patchy, and Kailani go from faked deaths to real deaths! See, Nought, that's what you can get with a bit of humour!
• ^{The Koopa King} Bowser threatens to sue ^{the You Tuber} ElTorro64Rus so hard his channel will shut down.
• Aw, dang, looks like the Heron and Blasternaut's Pizza Tower riff didn't go over too well! At least the Tomato Toppin Monster's not too sore about it!
• Let's give an extra prize for Moonshake's snail just so it doesn't feel bad! More than the first prize? I mean, the first prize wasn't worth the cost of playing anyway!
• ^{The psychic child} Matilda seems to have taken "coffee table book" a bit literally, in more than one way.
• Nice job on finding those kitties, Till Lindemann!
• Gee, eating powder of retroactive death. What a smart, sensible decision. You bring shame upon all practicioners of the arcane arts, Pizza Wizard.
• Dorothy Ann's focus on her astronomical research has given her super speed! Whee! How? ...Never mind, I don't want to know.
• And another riff that doesn't go over well! I mean, I don't know Tales of Symphonia that well myself, but I thought it was pretty funny!
• ^{A large number of tributes} Heffer, Lobotomized Weezer, Chuck, and Rue all need the toilet at once. We should really install more facilities in the Arena. Bah, let them suffer the indignity.
• ^{The caretaker of the Ruins} Toriel has taken the ^messenger Spearmaster on a bicycle ride with her. How kind.
• Hello again, eight God Beasts. I don't suppose you'll actually do anything this time and not just vanish into the void of continuity here?
• I'm afraid ^{A Demonic Entity from Hell} Inez is now a permanent guest at one of our tribute hotels and won't be available for the picnic. I dare you to find her if you can!

Day◊ 2◊

• You should know better than to use performance-enhancers, Lucrezia. Your natural strengths should be enough. Who cares? Her flower game showed that she won't win anyway.
• Yah! Take that, creepy Jack-in-the-box thing! Well done, ElTorro64Rus!
• Ah, a penguin after my own heart! Nothing like desecrating the fallen by serving their bodies to unsuspecting fellow tributes.
• They might be if we have more retroactive death powder, Tomato Toppin Monster.
• Good thing the Hunger Games Simulator doesn't have microtransactions, isn't it, Jungle Julia? In any case, I applaud your dedication.
• Apparently you haven't seen many seedy cutthroats, criminals, or scoundrels, Ariem. Most of these tributes wouldn't even make the top seventy-five percent for me.
• Surprise! Happy birthday, Lobotomized Weezer! Try not to eat anyone with your cake!
• Looks like ^{the Broadway diva} Alexis's thoughts of drug-related numbers were a bit too predictable.
• Better not feed Rocko any French bread, then!
• A glorious battle! Armed with guns drawn from ^{the ninja} Haru's bouquet, ^{the bounty hunter} Yoshimo has struck down ^{the half-elf Seraphim} Yuan! You make us all proud.
• March 7th is right! Better not go overboard on the drinking games, Ned! Get some water!
• Not much, Bowser. Just someone getting themself retroactively killed, another person getting shot, and a bunch of faffing about that no one cares for. Hey, I care!
• ^{The Dark Ruins boss} Dalv gives the ^nominators Roundabouts a mighty Twister Punch! Spectacular!
• Looks like Ken's still figuring out how reproduction works outside Barbieland! Kind of like how he thought the patriarchy was about horses!
• ^{The boxer} Mike Tyson makes a gallant last stand against an overwhelming force, striking down ^{the District 6 male} Jason and ^{the Soul Reaper} Ichigo before ^{the hunter} Rainsford and ^{the experimental rock band} Moonshake overcome him. Rest well, brave warriors.
• What did you expect, Minori? That's like going to a library and complaining there are too many books.
• It's fish! Toriel, if you give the fish tuna sandwiches, you'll be an abomination!
• Yes, you'd better, Daijin. We need more killing around here.
• ^{The rotating cats} Cat Rotation don't think much of ^{the District 11 female} Rue's cooking. Unsurprising, as cats are known to be very particular about food.
• ...Objection overruled. The witness will answer the question.
• Hmm... Perhaps Blasternaut's fanfic preferences are more interesting than I thought.
• Cheer up, Spearmaster! There are worse things to be called than "old sport"!
• You're not the only one at this point, Piet. Coffee? Not what I was thinking of, but I'll take it.
• Guess that safe was more unsafe! Killed by its own trap! Too bad for it!
• ^{The revived murder victim} Chuck is right, Lanolin. This is a family-friendly Hunger Games sim. You need to watch your mouth.
• You will not disrespect my music choices, ^{Prince of Denmark's child} Clytie. If it weren't for that pesky holy water, I'd offer to do something about her for you.
• Isn't that the opposite of a trance? You ever been so emotional you just lost sight of reality? That's what Till Lindemann's done!
• That's not very sympathetic of you, Grey Heron.
• That's what you get for denying Inez pizza! Take that, Jatkosota's BT-42 Trio! Right in the face!
• A doppelganger's darkness is greater than a demon's? I simply do not believe that.
• Another knockout, as ^{the psychic child} Matilda nails ^{the systems analyst} Louis in the head with a thrown pestle. But he's still alive. Throw harder next time.
• Now that's what I call the limelight! Defiling the body of the lime we lost in the Bloodbath... I like your style more and more, Buzz Blob.
• ^{The Prince of Denmark and his lover} Hamlet and Ophelia attempt to electrocute ^{the robot alicorn} Transformer Twilight only for it to be turned about on them. Good night, sweet prince.
• Uta does play baseball with her cannon arm! Now the question is, does she use her base arm to play cannonball?

Fallen◊ Tributes◊

• Casualties: Galactic Commander; Homestuck!Clover; Patchy; Kailani; Pizza Wizard; Yuan; Jason; Ichigo; Mike Tyson; Safe; Hamlet and Ophelia
• Nominators out: GamerLuna2022; PROPLAYEN
• Remaining tributes: 56/80

We will return soon for more action. Please stay tuned.

Rainsford has killed Mike Tyson.

Guess Ken's knowledge of reproduction isn't Kenough.

Looks like Clytie will try to avenge her parents by killing Twilight.

I hope you enjoyed those corpse burgers, Roundabouts! Also, Matilda making a coffee table book about coffee tables is just what I expected from a genius child.

Hey, can I start crying now?

Points for trying, Jason...

Also, didn't know Bowser slept so much.

Edited by CosmosAndChaos on Jan 29th 2024 at 5:02:23 PM

toriel is peacefully vibing, mostly by herself, and dalv nonlethally punches out the one person who makes an effort to interact with him directly

perfectly in character so far

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Toriel was promoting fish cannibalism when she cooks snails into pie... yet some of those snails are shown to be as anthropomorphic as other monsters!

Well, things are gonna get messy soon.

Seems like this chat wants to make Suomi suffer a myriad of painful / embarassing events before finally allowing her to die

And welcome back. Time to cue up the next track.

Combat Music

Night◊ 2◊

• ^{A Demonic Entity from Hell} Inez has been hit by a car, but not in the expected sense. Was she hitting on its spouse, perhaps?
• The weather is cool and breezy, with a chance of system updates later in the evening! Wait a second...
• Matilda carelessly knocks down a nest of bees and gets away with it unstung. Pitiful insects.
• We have a confirmed kill, and a spectacularly brutal one at that: ^{The revived murder victim} Chuck has shown ^{the sheep} Lanolin the cost of her swearing party by launching her into a helicopter rotor with bullets.
• Here's my opinion, Blasternaut and Clover: Both are inferior to the game you're in right now. Get back to killing.
• What's wrong with Rita's name? Like most mortals, you underestimate just how powerful and terrible a name can be. You rewrite yourselves with every moment you live, and cannot know what it is like to be bound to an immutable identity, every syllable a link in the chains that shackle your very existence. Okay? But Rita's a mortal! ...Right. I don't know what Heffer's deal is either.
• That's messed up, penguin! Is it really happiness if it's not coming from you?
• The other penguin has a better idea of how to be happy, playing princess with the heron and ^{the experimental rock band} Moonshake. Quite charming indeed.
• Boom! Headshot! Rainsford's taken Kratos's head right off with a cannon!
• ^{Her parents'} Hamlet and Ophelia's recent deaths have filled ^{the Prince of Denmark's child} Clytie with a mighty rage.
• "Hold my beer"? Ooh, I know how this goes... Except Lucrezia somehow survived.
• Everything's coming up Transformers Twilight! Turned an attack on its head and now ready to turn the tables on other competitors!
• ^{The doppelganger} Livmen and ^{the electric blob} Buzz Blob criticise music videos. I must admit there are a number of peculiarities. Why would the video for a song about classical heroes show cowboys burning ^{a famous singer} Bonnie Tyler's house down?
• Looks like Ariem's now under the control of Lobotomized Weezer's text parser!
• That only works for Fahrenheit. For Celsius, you'd quickly get heatstroke.
• I don't know how you've survived this far either, Dorothy Ann, but you're a bit too honest. You could at least be using your research for nefarious ends.
• ^{The Brain Trust member} Edgar ranks all the tributes this season on their similarity to ^{the District 11 female} Rue. Odd choice.
• Yoshimo's got vampiric shapeshifting powers now! Neat! And of course, our vampire slugcat doesn't. I'm starting to think I backed the wrong team.
• Haru tries to hook Ken, but Ichika thwarts him! Not a great performance! He should get the hook!
• Narinder's coping with the guilt for his many misdeeds... by pushing them onto March 7th instead. Now that's the way you do it.
• ^{The YouTuber} ElTorro64Rus comments on how quiet the Arena is, which ^{the Broadway diva} Alexis takes to mean it's a sad occasion.
• Let's give the little Hall of Famers a big hand! ...Okay, a little hand! They may be small, but they dream big!
• ^{The rotating cats} Cat Rotation are left bleeding motor oil after a serious car crash. Perhaps my medical skills would be of assistance.
• I'm with the slugcat, Jungle Julia. Take a mint. Says the person who constantly smells of fire and brimstone. How would you know, machine?
• That's one way to give someone the bird!
• And once again, we get a poorly-received remix, this one worse than the last. Louis absultely despises Oersted's Left 4 Dead parody video, and I can't say I blame him.
• Unfortunately, ^{the Koopa King} Bowser has been found to be a superficial spotlight hog and banned from the season. We apologise for the inconvenience.
• Toriel faces a musical trial and is let off easy! I mean, who wouldn't forgive Goat Mom? I wouldn't. That's because you're literally composed of malice, Nought.
• ^{The tank trio} Jatkosota's BT-42 Trio uses suits of armour to replicate the poses of ^{multiple tributes} Rocko, Uta, Daijin and The Roundabouts. Impressive control there. This gives me an idea for potential platforms I could use in the future.
• And Ned wins an intense wordless rap battle with Phil! And, of course, it loses the trash talk. That's the best part. Shame on you both.

Day◊ 3◊

• And March 7th goes around using her magically-empowered armour suit to heal everyone. That's the exact opposite of what you should be doing. I admire her compassion, myself.
• Is it coffee break time? I think it's coffee break time! Ichika has the right idea! Please don't. You're hard enough to keep up with already.
• It is not without its consequences. ^{The Devil Fruit user} Uta is too busy drinking coffee to prevent ^{the YouTuber} ElTorro64Rus's demise. A tragic loss to apathy.
• May I remind you what happened to the last person to swear excessively, Rainsford?
• Minori's served Oersted her own brain! Just kidding; it's just a cake! I'm with Narinder. That was extremely forgettable. Of course it is! Hard to remember when your brain's been eaten!
• Another rogue walking Lego minifigure. We need to clean up the Arena better.
• Shouldn't have tried to use Rocko's map without permission, Ariem!
• ^{The repetitive meme} Chicken has claimed ownership of the entire planet and hostility towards it. Should we do something? Eh, let it live in its delusions for a bit.
• Looks like Chuck takes bike theft seriously! Down goes Alexis!
• Honestly, anything happening once with that selection of pixels is weird enough.
• ^{The bounty hunter} Yoshimo puts ^{the caretaker of the Ruins} Toriel to sleep with a relaxing car ride. How pleasant.
• If President Snow's causing you problems, you can always just kill him. It's not that hard.
• BOOM! Transformer Twilight's made the sun go nova, wiping out Edgar, Rue, and Heffer in one mighty blast! Forget friendship; that's what real magic can do. And now someone has to put the star and planets back together. Don't be so cheery about this.
• ^{A Demonic Entity from Hell} Inez proves similarly deadly, using her ^steed Chain Chomp to drive ^{three tributes} Daijin, Phil, and Chuchu straight into the forcefield. Glorious!
• Looks like Rita's got on the bad end of Moonshake's sickle! Time for a coffin dance!
• More bloodshed? You're spoiling me! The smaller penguin's just blown up Ned and Jungle Julia with an air-to-ground missile. Never underestimate the cute ones, Nought!
• ^{The ninja} Haru interviews ^{the systems analyst} Louis about his restaurants to learn he's only in it for the money.
• Filling out your bucket list, Lobotomized Weezer? Better be quick, as you could die at any time.
• Blasternaut's smashed up all of Clytie's pots in search of goodies! Bet she won't be too happy about it! And probably got holy water all over himself in the process. Confound it.
• Unfortunately, the ^messenger Spearmaster's attempts to amuse the Grey Heron end up driving it to tears instead. In hindsight, you should have known joking about ^{the collapsed Iterator} Looks to the Moon wouldn't go over well.
• Shouldn't eat strange mushrooms, Enoko! At least get Marisa to check them out first!
• ^{The psychic child} Matilda will be eating only seafood for a while. As I don't require organic nourishment, I leave it to you to judge how well that will work.
• What could go wrong? Someone could hear you say that, Dorothy Ann. Hehehehehe... Say, Majel, why are you changing the music? You will see.

More Combat Music

Ooh, love the beat!

I have a bad feeling about this...

Arena◊ Event◊

Alert: Water containment has failed! The apartment is flooding! Evacuate immediately!

• Too late for some of them! Chicken, Dalv, Uta, and Oersted are caught up in the rising waters and drowned! Guess Uta's water weakness finally kicked in!
• And now the top floor has collapsed, causing bathtubs to fall onto the heads of ^{The Prince of Denmark's child} Clytie, ^{the robot alicorn} Transformer Twilight, ^{the electric blob} Buzz Blob, ^{the doppelganger} Livmen, and ^{the revived murder victim} Chuck. A messy end for them. Ha! The one who lived by holy water dies by water. You love to see it.
• Looks like some of them got out, but the wrong way! Enoko, Ken, Clover, and Rocko get washed out the windows and plummet to their doom!
• The ^nominators Roundabouts race down the stairs to escape, but are too hasty and break their necks. I warned you about stairs!
• And a few are trapped by the water and crushed by its sheer force. Those would be Lobotomized Weezer, Narinder [sigh] of course, and Lucrezia.
• Good news is that everyone else made it out safe and sound! Including the boss's remaining nominee!
