My first HTF fanfiction.
Enjoy and don't forget to review.

Note: When there's the 'BZZZZ' (meaning the TV buzzing) then it means the recording is shifting from a person to another, they aren't together, these are individual recordings.

Carnage Paradox.

PROLOGUE.

In the midst of a dark room lied a buzzing TV which was about to play some sort of recording. The light kept flickering uncontrollably as the recording started playing;

Bzzzz

Unknown: "So... I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that alright?"

Red-Haired girl: "I... Sure..."

Bzzzz

Blue-Haired boy: "Go right ahead!"

Bzzzz

Pinkette: "Why not?"

Bzzzz

Unknown: "How did you find out about 'Happy Tree Friends'?"

Green-haired boy: "Ads."

Bzzzz

Blonde Boy: "Internet!"

Bzzzz

Pinkette: "Friends."

Bzzzz

Red-haired girl: " um, my cousin."

Unknown: "How old are you?"

Red-haired girl: "N...Nineteen."

Bzzzz

Green-Haired boy: "Twenty five."

Bzzzz

Pinkette: "Sixteen."

Bzzzz

Blue-haired boy: "Twenty!"

Bzzzz

Unknown: "Do you have a particular reason for joining the Happy Tree Friends?"

Red-haired girl: "I thought that perhaps... I'd meet new people and make myself some friends."

Bzzzz

Green-haired boy: "Enjoy the friendly environment."

Bzzzz

Blonde boy: "Spending some time with my girlfriend."

Bzzzz

Pinkette: "Ehehe! Have fun with my darling of course."

Bzzzz

Blue-haired boy: "Save people!"

Bzzzz

Lime green-haired boy: "Get diabetes."

Bzzzz

Purple-haired girl: "Discover my hidden personality."

Bzzzz

Unknown: "Are you notably good at something?"

Green-haired boy: "Uh..." he scratched the back of his head nervously, "I'm a war vet so I'm not really good at anything besides hand-to-hand combat, survival and shooting sports; I'd like to change that though."

Bzzzz

The red-haired girl started twirling her thumbs, "I don't really know, actually. I guess I'm only good at drawing and cooking, t-that's pretty much it."

Bzzzz

The pinkette giggled, "Well, I'm good at singing, dancing and modeling. Oh, and I'm a good actress when I want to!"

Bzzzz

Blue-haired boy: "I'm good at saving people, of course!"

Bzzzz

while licking his lollipop, the lime-haired boy smiled mischievously, "Isn't this kind of obvious?"

Bzzzz

Purple-haired girl: "Does knitting count?"

Bzzzz

Unknown: After knowing about Happy Tree Friends, you are aware that you're not allowed to keep your real name, right?

Blue-haired boy: "Yeah, but quite frankly; I don't care."

Bzzzz

Green-haired boy: "It's actually quite beneficial for me," he smiled.

Bzzzz

Red-haired girl: "Yes, well—I don't mind."

Bzzzz

Lime-haired boy: "As long as you don't name me after anything ridiculous."

Bzzzz

Unknown: "Very well now, your name will be given after the information we collected about you, here; there it is."

Red-haired girl: "F-Flaky? Wh-why call me that?"

The mysterious man pointed at the girl's hair, "It seems you have some dandruffs, I figured this name would fit you."

"A-Ah..."

Bzzzz

Flippy: "So from now on, I'm Flippy right?" he chuckled, "Nice name, I guess."

Bzzzz

Giggles: "Eh? Is this supposed to be ironic?"

Unknown: "You giggle a lot, this suits you."

The little pinkette giggled, "You're so silly!"

Bzzzz

The blue-haired hero grinned ridiculously, "Calling me 'Splendid' when I'm already splendid as I am, don't you think that's quite unnecessary?"

He shook his head, "No, I find it quite funny actually."

"Eh?"

Bzzzz

"Nutty? What the heck?" he mumbled angrily, "Don't tell me this has to do with my eye,"

He shrugged, "Sorry, seems like it."

Bzzzz

The blonde boy smiled, "Cuddles is a cute name," he tilted his head up, locking his gaze on the man before him, "So what are you implying?"

Bzzzz

Unknown: "Now if you just sign this—everything will be done and you'll finally be able to join Happy Tree Friends."

Flaky smiled nervously and took the pen the man offered her, she looked at the sheet of paper and noticed how abnormally small the characters were, "Um, I can't seem to read it clearly..." she murmured, "May I please have another copy, except with larger letters?"

"What is there to read? I think you already know its contents already, since we're talking about a summer camp here."

"Ah, perhaps you're right," she chuckled as she signed the contract with her new name.

Bzzzz

Flippy analyzed the contract carefully then pointed at the last paragraph, "Mind telling me what this is about?"

The man took the contract from his grasp and started reading it; he then glanced at the war vet before him with a reassuring smile, "What about it? Are you worried of something so trivial?"

He shook his head while crossing his arms, "Nothing like that, I just find it a bit uncomfortable."

"Oh? My apologies then," he took the pen and barred the last paragraph, "Since it's you, then I'm willing to remove it, besides; you're the only one with sharp eyes, no wonder you managed to read it despite it being so illegible."

Flippy smiled, "I'm glad we made it clear together,"

and he signed the contract as well.

Bzzzz

Nutty signed the paper quietly.

Bzzzz

"This looks suspicious," Splendid commented, "Why give me this when I can't even read it?"

"I thought you wanted to save people,"

The blue-haired hero pouted, "Shut up," and signed the contract.

Bzzzz

The buzzing TV was turned off by a mysterious man, he placed the remote down and shifted uncomfortably on his chair, next to him was a rather dull-looking young man about twenty three, glancing at the window.

"Is that all of them?" He asked while lighting his cigar, the boy shook his head, "No, there's more of them, a lot more."

"Why didn't you bother record the others?"

He shrugged, "They weren't that interesting, besides; they are just insignificant pieces used for our little 'game', I doubted they'd interest you, sir."

The man chuckled lightly and then exhaled some smoke, "You're the only one who has such keen eyes, Lumpy."

His look was blank, practically emotionless and almost dull as he locked his gaze on him; "When will I be able to retrieve my real name, sir?"

This simple question felt so light-hearted, yet had a deep meaning nobody wished to understand right now, he sounded troubled; yet the look on his face deceived him. He used him too much; he became so dull, so weak; as if he lost all emotions living deep within his heart.

A grin appeared on the man's face.

"What are you talking about?" He tilted his head, "Your name has always been Lumpy."

Lumpy looked at the ground, his pale blue bangs covered his face as he did so, "Sir... I have a request."

"Hm?"

Slowly, he lifted his head to face him, his eyes regaining light; "I'd like to take part in this game."

"What are you saying? Have you gone mad?!" He hissed as he stood up, pointing his cigar at Lumpy's throat, "Even if this is a 'game', it's extremely dangerous! Plus, unlike the others; you have absolutely zero chance to—"

"I don't care," he said, "I'm already trapped here, I already lost my name, and I'm tired of this, it won't change much either; since I won't leave anyway."

Without further argue, he sat down and sighed; "Is this really what you want?"

He stood there quietly and finally nodded, "Yes."

"This won't change anything you know?"

"I know, but..."

"But?"

He clenched his fists, "In the very least, if one of them... one of them makes it out, then can I..."

A single tear was shed from Lumpy's sorrowful eyes, "Can I at least get my name back? My memories?"

Prologue, end.

The prologue is finished, I hope you guys enjoyed it, if possible... review? I need support!

So, to make this clear; this is a gory fanfic and ridiculously yanderemantic! (By yanderemantic I mean Yandere romance, since I'm including FlippyxFlaky.) Even if this chapter was quite dull, I hope it was to your liking.

Review and tell me what you guys think ^^.
