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.

BREAK

[guileturncoat]

Well then! That ends the 'trivia' section. Any remaining unbanked points will be added to your bank.

[The bank is now up to 380 points.]

Now you all will have a choice: you can spend some of your points now, or save them to spend after segment 2. Here are the things you can buy with your points:

[He indicates to a short list, which appears on a screen.]

Hint - 50
New question - 100
Save - 200
Restart segment - 500
'powers on' for one segment - 1,000

All of these options buy you a token that can be used at any time during a segment. These options will remain the same after the next segment, so if you see anything you want to save up for you definitely can!

Since these are pooled points between all of you, it will take a majority vote to purchase anything. Talk, and figure out if you want anything.

[Segment 2 will begin at 2:15 pm EST.]

[darkova]

What does 'Save' mean?

[guileturncoat]

If you answer a question incorrectly, or otherwise do something that would result in a loss of points, it 'saves' your points.

[dereban]

[ raises hand, she has a question ]

Can you clarify what 'restart segment' entails?

[guileturncoat]

You get to redo the entire segment of the game. So like, if you do horribly in segment 2, you can 'restart' it and try again.

[dereban]

I see. We'll have to use that carefully if we chose that option. It's too bad we can't redo real life, though.

[ emphasis on that because

doezai.

what the fuck. please don't do this. ]

[guileturncoat]

Unfortunately, time travel isn't a power that anyone here has.

[dereban]

Well, doing time travel is stupid, anyway.

[ JUST LIKE HOW YOU'RE!!!! BEING STUPID!!!!! ]

[houndumb]

Time travel is totally the stupidest power.

[Where did he come from and why is he agreeing with this. He doesn't even seem involved in the discussion so this was literally just a driveby.]

[dereban]

Honestly, he probably should know, I bet he's seen Back to the Future.

[prayerwheel]

I'm positive he owns the novelization of Back to the Future.

[ stares at Doezai knowingly ]

[dereban]

He probably owns the comics too, I bet.

[duskhound]

...I... There are comics...?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[??????????]

[prayerwheel]

He owns the novelizations of Austin Powers and Bladerunner. It isn't too much of a jump.

[ this isn't a hint it's literally just azura dunking on his taste in books ]

[houndumb]

Why would anybody watch a movie that old, probably looks like crap.

[Local Demon Doesn't Care About Classics]

[dereban]

It's actually not that bad of a movie. And it's called a 'classic' for a reason.

[darkremnants]

[ Again, they need to get Nora caught up on things. Even classics ]

[darkremnants]

[ He has questions, but none he wants to ask in front of cameras or people.

So he'll just lean on his podium. ]

Is there an option to swap places with the Host? I think asking questions sounds a lot more fun.

[guileturncoat]

Sorry! As fun as it might be, you can't be the host for the day.

[darkremnants]

Can't blame a guy for trying.

[ Because there's something worth trying for. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Even hosts deserve a little mercy now and then.

[houndumb]

If this shit's going to keep being easy as hell then why do we need to buy anything.

[It wasn't easy, it's just that everybody seems to know totally random trivia about a random valley. It's fine. He's just grumping as usual.]

[darkremnants]

[ Good idea ]

I don't know about it being easy, but we should save points for now.

[odasaku]

It’s better to save for emergencies, after all.

[ ESPECIALLY IF THEIR HOST IS GONNA CONTINUE BEING LIKE THIS. ]
