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.

[ HELLO SHE IS BACK IN TIME TO HEAR THIS AND

she wants to say something but there's nothing she CAN say

so she's just going to focus on defrogging everyone. congratulations y'all have human hands again. ]

[snzzzz]

[iblistriggered]

[sits with!!]

[houndumb]

[I mean, he's human and he's still flipping the guy the double bird. It changes to a single while he goes to retrieve his spear BUT THE THOUGHT IS THERE.]

[odasaku]

[ great amazing, just in time to pull out both his guns and stand in front of saki, just in case. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Well, Saki's here, and she's still between the newcomer and Dazai, so.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen's standing in front of Saki too... probably behind Oda though. He's the one with the guns.]

[foundationmods]

[Interestingly, MC seems entirely unbothered by the presence of weapons. Be as threatening as you like, Oda, he doesn't seem to care.]

[duskhound]

[Yep, being unfrogged doesn't make her any less fighty this time, it seems.]

[dereban]

[ okay defrogging is happening which is a definite relief but even though she's aware of the games being rigged, not to mention that she's been saved by him instead of panicking, she instead decides to speak aloud.

cold, cool.

indifferent. ]

Where's your physical proof, then? If you're so sure, you should be able to prove just that, right? Otherwise, it's all just stupid conjecture.

[foundationmods]

[SHRUG]

I don't need proof. I'm not here to punish him for anything. I just saw all the frogs and wanted to see what was going on.

But maybe you should be a bit more careful with someone playing favorites so blatantly. And maybe you should ask him who he intended to have die today.

[And then he presses a button, and the floor of one of the platforms drops out.

The one that Dazai had accidentally backed up onto, and had been standing on until it decided to fall out from under him.

Bye Felicia.]

[duskhound]

[Yep, she's dashing over to that platform and preparing to jump down. What's down there, anyways?]

[darkremnants]

[ Just going to grab the fabric of her outfit. Avoiding actual contact while keeping her from jumping in ]

[duskhound]

[Your assistance in preventing her from taking a death is appreciated, Van. As well as your respect for her boundaries.]

[darkremnants]

[ Shit. Fuck playing it cool, he's going to nyoom over to look down to see. Where is he and how bad is it ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

What--

[Karen immediately sprints over there and looks down.]

[guileturncoat]

[Luckily the platform is narrow enough that he was able to throw out his hands and legs and keep himself above the spikes. But his limbs are shaking from the effort of keeping himself up.]

Um.

Anyone got a rope?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen doesn't but she's wrapping both arms around one of his.]

Help me! [, she says vaguely in Vanitas and Ellie's direction.]

[darkremnants]

[ breathing out and just going to summon his keyblade. Lowering it down for him. ]

Here.

[dereban]

. . . I see.

Honestly, I think it's really fucked up, though, if he's picking and choosing favorites like that.

[ you know what?

let's twist it like this. she can work with it. ]

I have a guess as to who you are, exactly, but perhaps a proper introduction should be in order so I can confirm it?

[foundationmods]

Just someone who wanted to see some frogs.

[And since the frogs are gone, he'll toss the remote to the ground and just. Fukken walk off the stage.]

[darkova]

[Ingway wants to run over there too- but he grits his teeth and holds his ground]

[prayerwheel]

Ingway, the chain.

[ whispered

GRAB HIM PLEASE??? ]

[houndumb]

[There’s an involuntary snort over here because Nora has been doing nothing if not trapping Doezai every single time he’s seen him at his office so. There’s a cock of his head as he listens with his dog demon hearing for crunching or screaming or anything, because there’s probably like 6 people at the trap door by now.

This guy is still getting the side eye, though.]

Yeah, yeah, you pop up outta nowhere and go on and on, who the hell are you again?

[foundationmods]

[No crunching, no screaming. Dazai is probably fine.]

Just a passerby, nothing more.
