Week 5, Saturday

[foundationmods]

[Saturday arrives, and the contestants are welcomed back to the Studio officially at noon. When they arrive, they ill find that the entire place has been rebuilt, and that both the power and the cameras are back on. It took a week, but those prinnies have been working hard.

The studio is ready for them, with the stage having a raised circular platform on it. On that platform are twelve smaller circular platforms, arranged in a semi-circle so that everyone can see everyone and also be seen by the cameras once they are in place. There appear to be no assigned spots, but only one person is able to enter each spot.

Dazai stands there as well, smiling and ushering everyone in.]

Come on in! Pick a platform, and we'll get started.

RULES (segment 1)

[foundationmods]

[Once everyone has picked a spot, Dazai will begin explaining the rules.]

This game is broken up into three segments, with a short break between each segment.

The first segment is called 'trivia'. During this time, I will be asking you all some rapid-fire questions. Anyone can answer, but speed is important: the faster you are, the more points you earn for that question. You can earn up to ten points per question, based on how quickly it is answered.

For each correct answer in a row, you will get to multiply those points by that number. So for example, if you answered three questions correctly and earned 10 points on each, that is 30 points. But since you had three questions right in a row, you multiply that by 3, netting you 90 points.

At the start of each question, someone can call out 'BANK', and the points that you have accumulated will be added to the point bank. Points in the bank cannot be lost, they are yours to keep and spend at the point-spending stages. However, banking your points resets your multiplier, and only points gathered since the last 'bank' or 'failed question' can accumulate up to be multiplied by the next multiplier.

If at any time someone incorrectly answers a question, non-banked points will be lost and your multiplier will be reset. You goal for this segment is to get as many points as possible, because the more points you have, the easier the next two segments will become.

Are there any questions?

[ opens mouth


closes mouth

looks at the camera like she's in The Office, she has a good idea of what's going to happen here ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen has a question!]

Does any part of this game result in death?

[guileturncoat]

That comes in segment 3. You have to get through the first two parts first.

[darkremnants]

[ Oh fun. ]

This sounds like it's a great team building game. A lot like Monopoly.

[dereban]

It's The Weakest Link, most likely. . .

Even worse than Monopoly in some ways.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Oh.

Saki makes a face at those words.]

[dereban]

[ she sees that expression and there's something worrying as she glances over ]

. . . Saki?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...Karen can't reach her but know that she's holding her hand in spirit.]

[darkremnants]

Oh goody. I can't wait.

[dereban]

Yeah.

But he said there's three segments, so it's possible that things might be a little different.

[ fingers crossed but she has no hope ]

[odasaku]

Oh.

[ he frowns. ]

This might be bad.

[dereban]

Yep.

[. . .]

Honestly, maybe we should make Nora yell out 'bank' every time it's his turn.

[ SHE HAS NO FAITH HE CAN ANSWER TRIVIA ]

[iblistriggered]

Or Mario Party. We should just play Mario Party.

[darkremnants]

Have all three rounds set on rainbow road.

[ That might result in more blood actually... ]

[iblistriggered]

That’s Mario Kart, Vanitas.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't think I want to know what his version of Mario Party would be.

[It's just Sonic Shuffle.]

[houndumb]

Ugh, do we HAVE to share points... I hate trivia.......

[Nora you're probably the worst one here at this leave the points alone.]

[darkremnants]

[ Stand next to him, doggo. ]

I'm sure there's enough of us decent at it.

[ It'll be fine ]

[failsaw]

What, you want to collect all your own points for yourself? I didn't know you were trying to die.

[failsaw]

Are you gonna kill off people now, or are you waiting for the next two segments? [Obviously there's death, but when?]

[guileturncoat]

You got it! Death isn't until segment 3.

[iblistriggered]

[ Silver has cut his red t-shirt into a bandana, which he has around his neck ]

So we lose our accumulated points if we get a question wrong, unless they’re in the bank?

[ Also he’s just going to feel out to see if his powers are being blocked or not...]

[guileturncoat]

Yep, that's exactly how it goes. Banking often can make sure you get some points, but it's hard to get a lot without the multipliers. It's very risk vs reward.

[Powers are currently being blocked yes. But only currently.]

[iblistriggered]

[Nods] Got it.
