Apologies for skipping yesterday. I’ll try to get a double-update posted later today.

Week 3

After the eviction of Dean, the Bad Guys have a brief meeting.

Tony, we think ... should be divided.

Oh good lord, don't tell me this is all because of that joke I made yesterday... Not you too, Catsy!

It's more than a joke ... I think after launching Grogger we knew that this alliance was built on malicious rather than more honestly ...

Well f$ck you too! I don't needja!

Tony stomps out. He is slightly remorseful, CATS was his one friend after his outburst. But, Tony still had the Quintet. He was safe, he assured himself.

The HOH

Whether divided or one, neither Bad Guy ends up flourishing in the HOH Competition. The Houseguests are asked to wade in a hot tub as materials are poured into the water. Shownu jumps out at the idea of the competition.

Sylvia leaps out of the tub when someone dumps a loaf of bread into the water.

Tony, Valecor, and CATS squeal and leap out at the sight of expired milk being poured in.

Kylo retches when the wet bread floats over and touches him, so he vaults out.

Ivy, whose hated just being in water, climb out upon seeing oatmeal dumped into the tub.

Nemo, whose forced to swim eye-level with the stuff, excuses himself.

Caddicarus is doing fine, but Kylo's thoughts of pure disgust eventually implant themselves onto Caddy, so he leaps out as well.

Avdol watches as they chuck a day-old pizza into the tub. Disgusted at the idea of wasting a good pizza, Avdol steps out in protest.

The competition comes down to the so-far tolerant Power Stroke, Matt, and Beat. Power Stroke has been quietly meditating and recalling HGS history to take her mind off the disgusting-ness. Matt, stone-faced, immediately steps out when he sees them roll a garbage can out to the Hot Tub. As the dump the garbage in, Beat and Power remain within the tub. It seems they'll remain there for everything.

Production tosses in whatever they can; empty cans, laundry, a cigarette they found on the street. Eventually, the smell attracts flies. Beat, feeling the warm liquid, and seeing the flies, is reminded of their traumatic experience being eaten by a spider. Beat leaves midst-flashback, and Power Stroke gets the HOH. She gets out ASAP.

Power Stroke, after a long shower, remains loyal to both the Quintet by nominating Caddicarus, a member of the Fearsome Five, and her canon self on Convergence by nominating Valecor.

The POV

Power Stroke, Caddicarus, Valecor, and this week's random draws, Sylvia, Ivy, and Beat, are miniaturized and placed inside hollow dice. After being haphazardly rolled, they must turn your die over until the number of choice is on top of your die.

Power Stroke remains delirious from being tossed, and Valecor taunts her, believing he'll have time to win the competition afterward. Ivy didn't entirely understand the competition, so she's unsure what to do. Valecor begins to play when he realizes that there's a winner; Sylvia, Beat, and Caddicarus have all gotten the desired number rather quickly, in a photo finish. After a few replays, the general consensus is that Beat has fairly won the POV.

Beat owes nothing to that cad Caddicarus, or that venomous Valecor, so they leave them nominated.

Events of the House (Because This Got Too Long To Be In The Eviction Part)

Quite a lot happens after the veto.

Valecor is chatting up a room full of a relatively indifferent Avdol, Nemo, and Shownu.

   I tell you, if I had actively wanted such, I would have taken both Head of Household and Power of Veto. But that was far too much power. Being a veteran of the Hunger Games Simulator, I can tell you that people will always go for those in power.   

Avdol pipes up, Wait, isn't it randomized?

   Oh not truly.   

Shownu then speaks, You know, if I got the money, I'd first want to pay for Tony's Rolex... then I think I'd pay to get Monsta X a little more recognition. Of course, I only really want Monsta X to get recognition so that we can really help those in need, you know?

   Brother, I'm the villain of a universe where mass-death is status quo. I'm the last person who'd "know".   

Ivy steps in the room. Hey uh, Valecor? You might wanna see something.

Ivy leads Valecor to the backyard. A plane flies by, flying a banner which reads "VALECOR IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED"

Tony looks up from his cigar to the sign. Yeah no shit.

The mobster had earlier been trying to block out a semi-intense argument between two blue equines which was transpiring in front of him.

Power Stroke, you could've helped make the Fearsome Five and the Quintet a Great Ten! Or Nine! Or Eight I guess... but no! You had to follow Mami's lead, and continue this dumb feud!

Hey, you listen here! We were gonna fight each other eventually, it only makes sense for Mami to get first blood! I'm not just gonna betray one of my friends to delay the inevitable!

RRRRRGH! Alliances are so stupid! Sylvia runs off.

Matt and Beat, who've been sparring with their swords, look at Sylvia stomp off. They both look at each other and shake their heads in disapproval, before continuing the sparring session.

What a day.

The Eviction

After an eventful day, the houseguests pool together for the vote of Caddicarus or Valecor. Page One, Two

Alliances may be alliances, but when it comes down to it, nobody like Valecor. Everyone, other than Matt, who really doesn't like Caddicarus, votes to evict Valecor.

When Valecor receives the news, he is unpleasantly surprised. As he leaves, Nemo, the young fish, beckons him over, and offers him a quick word of advice. As a real veteran of the Hunger Games, I can tell you that people go for people that they don't like. Thirteen remain.

Week Four Coming Soon

Edited by TacoBadger on Oct 27th 2019 at 9:43:34 AM

It was only a matter of time until Valecor got the boot.

So the Bad Guys alliance split already, this is getting interesting...

Also seems no one could stand Valecor for long

Since I had you guys waiting for a few days, here's week four.

Week Four

• The Quintet Headquarters... the house's upstairs bathroom

Can you believe that Sylvia? She'd just come up to me and say whatever? The nerve!

Tony shakes his head. You gotta assert your dominance! You're first name is Power! Act like it!

Quite frankly, that HOH competition was rigged. Water? Come on! Nemo's literally a fish!

At least he didn't win, be grateful for that.

Kylo speaks up. Hey guys, I gotta... go to the bathroom real quick. I’ll be back.

Don't fall in.

Kylo steps out.

• The Fearsome Five Headquarters....... the house's downstairs bathroom

Kylo covertly enters. Sorry for the delay guys... I had to use the bathroom.

Caddicarus, psychically linked to Kylo, shakes his head at the poor excuse.

Well you're here now and that's what's important. Listen guys, if we wanna win this house talent show coming up, we really gotta hammer down this choreography.

Enough choreography! We're locked in a bitter feud with the Quintet, we're already down a member, and I'm pretty sure Kylo's playing both sides. We can't waste time with choreography!

We never have time for choreography...

Nemo knocks on the door. Are you guys gonna be done in there? I gotta take a leak and then after I'm done, Matt and Beat have book club in there.

Shoot! I forgot book club was today... let's postpone this meeting, then.

The HOH

The competition is simple; answer a set of questions the way that you think the majority of the House will answer. However, due to the diversity of the cast, in species, personality, and just about every other factor, most of the houseguests are appallingly terrible at gaging how their fellow houseguests will respond. After three rounds of heavy losses, only three houseguests remain; Mami, Sylvia, and CATS.

Sylvia is cautiously optimistic. If she wins this, she can get her alliance a step ahead. Mami, meanwhile, is confident that she'll win, and be able to take off a few more members of the Not-So-Fearsome Five. Since there is such a fickle definition of "majority" between three houseguests, the challenge changes up slightly; you must answer the question precisely, and guess who the other two will answer.

The question; Coke or Pepsi. Mami, a clear Pepsi girl, supposes her enemy, Sylvia, is a heathen Coke fan. Little does she know Sylvia is similarly a Pespi fan, though she supposed Mami was a Coke fan. Both are shocked to learn they're incorrect, and even more surprised to learn that CATS, who prefers RC, correctly surmised that Mami and Sylvia were Coke ladies, and thus, snatched the HOH for himself. I suppose you could say; Hey Diddle Diddle, CATS played them like a fiddle.

Both alliances pester CATS to go for their side, but CATS isn't about to waste his reign. This week, the base belongs to him. He nominates Kylo, who he sees as a sneak and a double agent, as well as nominating Ivy, but he only decided to nominate her after playing a round of Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Moe during nominations.

The POV

CATS, Kylo, Ivy, and the randomly drawn Matt, Beat, and... Sylvia (again? My god...) are taken to a nearby landfill to find seven hidden medallions, hidden within the junk. The one who finds the most medallions wins.

Matt has made clear his immobilizing distaste for garbage. Beat, seeing their friend in turmoil, reckons that this veto isn't super important. Beat instead decides to try and help Matt conquer his fear. Kylo, meanwhile, tries to lift garbage out of his way haphazardly to search for more medallions, but little does he know, he's tossing medallions away as he does this. Ivy, seeing one of these, grabs onto one and stores it in a pocket of her's.

CATS and Sylvia, both with two medallions each from Kylo, look into a massive cavern of garbage, and see two medallions littering the bottom. The duo step in carefully, trying not to upset the cavern. However, one of Kylo's junk-tosses hits the side of the cavern, and it begins to collapse. CATS rushes out, but Sylvia has an alliance to fight for. She can't just run away. She rushes further, and grabs the two medallions. But as she peaks behind, the light closes out, and the massive cavern collapses on her.

As the competition ends, the group collects together. With two of the seven medallions, CATS seems set to win, but production realizes quickly that Sylvia is missing. Employing Kylo to sift through the trash, they eventually find the unconscious Sylvia with four medallions. They gift the win to her, and quickly take her away to get resuscitated at the ER.

After returning, a little worse for wear, she saves Kylo from nomination. However, she is somewhat disappointed that CATS replaces Kylo with the kinder Shownu.

The Eviction

Ahead of the eviction, the Fearsome Five are further disheartened. They had their hearts set in winning the House Talent Show. But, with Shownu stressed out from being nominated, Sylvia still injured from the cavern collapse, Kylo too busy attending a Quintet meeting, Caddicarus never quite getting the tap routine down, and Dean evicted, the Fearsome Five's dance routine underperforms, and Beat wins the talent show with a riveting rendition of Piano Man.

The house collects for the vote; it's Shownu or Ivy. Kylo Ren's loyalties are now up in the air. Will he side with the Quintet or the Fearsome Five? Evictions, Page One, Two

Beat, Caddicarus, Matt, Avdol, Nemo, Sylvia, and... Tony are voting to evict Ivy

Kylo Ren, Power Stroke, and Mami vote to evict Shownu

Ivy is shocked. The Quintet swore they were in power. Power and Mami realize that 3 votes isn't even as many as the people in their alliance. They shift their eyes to Kylo, sure that he's betrayed them in favor of the Five. But Tony knew what he was doing. He couldn't stand Kylo playing both sides; and framing the punk was just the trick. The Quintet will have to sort their differences in the face of losing a member.

But, as Ivy leaves, she reflects on the true flaw; the Quintet were never in power. CATS, Matt, Beat, Avdol, Nemo... they never subscribed their loyalty; Quintet or otherwise. It was their votes that were in the air. And when it came down to it, the mob liked Shownu more. Twelve remain.

Edited by TacoBadger on Oct 29th 2019 at 12:18:06 PM

I've said it once and I'll say it again: the plot thickens.

and Shownu's probably caught in the middle of it all

Congrats to CATS on his first HoH!

And the plot does indeed thicken...

Totally. So far, things have been going so good.

That's actually in-character for Power to win Episode 3's HoH. She's better at swimming than in any other sport.

Oh, man, that argument between Power Stroke and Sylvia though...

Also, Nemo pulling the Ironic Echo card on Valecor lol

Caught up with it and I gotta say, the plot is very complex.

Now I know what ya must be thinkin': how dare you betray your teammate, right? That stupid cat did that first!

knock knock, it's the united states

Week Five

Sylvia leads a meeting with the Fearsome Five. Listen, when I spent all that time in the trash last week, I began to think about my life... and more importantly, my life in this game. And well, looking back, I think that every wrong turn my game has taken was all because of this dreadful little group we've got here.

What are you saying?

Look, you all are great, but let's face it; Kylo's working with the other team, and Caddicarus and Shownu, you guys haven't been pulling your weight. The way I see it, this alliance has been nothing but a burden on me, and sticking with it will just take years off my life. I'm sorry.

Sylvia walks from the group. The others remain silently disappointed.

The HOH

The houseguests find in their backyard a large lake, which has been frozen over. At one end of the lake, eleven kegs of ale, and on the opposing end, eleven empty snowman heads. The houseguests must skate from one side to the other with miniature cups, hoping to fill the snowman head with ale. First houseguest to do so is the Head of Household.

Caddicarus, insulted at the idea that he hasn't "pulled his weight", decides to skate extra hard, and win the competition. However, he skates onto a patch of thin ice, and cracks it, falling into the lake. Matt soon skates in behind hik. Sylvia, just when she thinks her alliance won't keep letting her down, soon falls into the very same hole.

Shownu avoids the hole, but due to his limited skating ability, he goes slowly for most of the competition.

Kylo, meanwhile, receives far too many of Caddicarus' psychic projections, and as thus, is made to feel colder than he truly is. He tries to float cups from one side to the other, but he is far too distracted by the mental hypothermia.

Avdol and Beat are able to keep at it pretty steadily, so Nemo, in an attempt to throw them off, runs into Beat, who is pushed into Avdol. The duo are thrown off balance into their snowman heads, breaking them, and unleashing the ale onto the ground. Nemo, though successful in his thwarting, is unable to stop skating in one direction, and, as such, skates steadily away from the house for the rest of the competition.

The competition comes down to Power Stroke, Tony, and Mami. Power Stroke, in spite of her best effort, has real trouble skating on all-fours, leaving it up to Tony and Mami. And, as we've learned before, the youthful and magical Mami beats the older, unhealthy Tony. Mami snatches the HOH up in no time.

Well, this is my second time being HOH. I nominated them last time, and I see don't see why I shouldn't do it again! Shownu and Matt are nominated, just like Mami's last HOH.

The POV

Mami, Shownu, Matt, and the random draws, Tony, Kylo, and, once again, Sylvia all enter the backyard before several unidentified vans pull up, armed guards step out, handcuff the six, place bags on their head, and throw them into the vans.

The six awaken in six cells within a dank prison. Outside of their cells, is a set of keys. First one to get out wins.

Kylo goes over, and uses the force to gravitate the keys to his cell. He wins the POV. The others argue angrily, saying that Kylo received an unfair advantage.

Kylo does a favor for his ally and pulls Shownu off the block. Beat is nominated next to Matt, and the friends are now pitted against each other.

Prior to the Eviction

Sylvia, realizing that no one from the big alliances is nominated, decides this would be a good time to talk things out. After all, her argument with Power Stroke left her in bad taste with the Quintet, and her resignation earlier left her in bad taste with the Fearsome Five. She calls the house together, and admits that she's been under a lot of stress lately; but she shouldn't have been so rash about how she treated others. The houseguests appreciate Sylvia's honesty.

The houseguests are lounging in the back, before they notice a plane flying up above, reading "CADDICARUS IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED". Kylo begins having a psychic argument with Caddicarus, asking precisely what's not to be trusted. Everyone else meanwhile just points out that "CADDICARUS" was cheaply painted over "VALECOR".

Beat looks on glumly in the corner. CATS, seeing this glumness, pats them on the shoulder. Beat appreciates this.

The houseguests move on from these events to go to the eviction.

The Eviction

Beat and Matt await eviction. Before the vote starts, the duo stands up and admits that they've had a wonderful time together, and hope to pursue a friendship once the game is over. The rest of the houseguests are touched by their sincerity, before carrying on to their vote. Evictions, Page One, Two

Caddicarus, CATS, Avdol, Power Stroke, and Tony vote to evict Matt.

Meanwhile, Kylo, Nemo, Shownu, and Sylvia vote to evict Beat.

By a mere vote of 5-4, Matt leaves the house, but not before wishing luck to his good friend Beat. He heads out, reflecting that Wii Sports have been, and always will be, his forte; not Big Brother. Eleven remain.

Ah, nice to see a little focus on Kylo and Caddicarus' alliance.

Again, Power's better at swimming than in any other sport. And being from a tropical country, she's not good at ice skating or any winter sport at all.

The Fearsome Five just keeps failing.

Bottom post, and Happy Post 100! The first proper milestone in what hopefully is many!
