Hey guys! A quick update!
I was able to work on this chapter over spring break, so enjoy the quick update! Ah, hopefully I have more of these more often x.x
What are the results of the menacing boat challenge? And where do the players go afterwards? Enjoy!
Episode 6 (Part 3)
There was a maniacal laugh. Louder than ever before. The ripples in the sea started to become apparent, as Eclair and Snifit were suddenly overcome by the echoing laugh of their ship's leader. Dashell was chuckling, but it wasn't a quiet laugh of contentment. It was a loud one, turned to wickedness.
"You...what are you going to do?" Snifit choked, silently backing away.
"Whatever I'm suppose to do for this exemption!" was the yell from the other player. Dashell was enraged, and his eyes seemed to glow.
Dashell: Then I wanted them to see my true form.
Suddenly, his body flashed, and all of a sudden, the players on the ship saw him again. But this time, he was different: he had turned into a figure of black hair, wearing a coat as dark as a night-turned sky of malevolence. Eclair and Snifit, and even McHallyboo, could barely believe what had happened.
"You're...you are different," Eclair gasped, stepping away. "What happened?"
"I just wanted to show you all the truth," Dashell said, a sickening smile slowly appearing. "Of who I really am. I'm not really an innocent-looking human. That wasn't me. That was never me." The players could barely believe his words. Wearing a cape as well, Dashell spread his arms, as the sky suddenly began to get darker.
"This is...who I truly am as person. As a human." His smile of wickedness was at maximum.
"No! You traitor!" Snifit began his running lunge at Dashell, who only sighed with a bit of disappointment. With his left hand, he withdrew a sword, much to everyone's shock.
"One move...and off you go in this world," Dashell whispered. As Eclair held her ground, Snifit was determined.
"II won't let you get away with this!" Snifit bellowed, his voice deep as he continued to run towards Dashell. Dashell stepped forwards as well, ready to fight.
"No!" Suddenly, with a sickening slice, the sword had made its mark.
"Oomph..." Snifit fell to the ground, his body limp, and it wasn't until Dashell withdrew his sword from Snifit's body that they noticed the blood. Eclair's eyes were full of terror. Even McHallyboo seemed at a loss of words, eyes shocked as well. He could only stutter.
"That...wasn't...virt..." The host, looking at what had happened in front of him, couldn't speak anymore.
"What?!" Eclair asked, turning to her side. McHallyboo swallowed, then tried once more.
"That...wasn't a virtual...action." The words struck the air, almost silencing everything. Even Dashell seemed to realize the mistake he had made.
"Did you really...kill..." Eclair was on the ground, tears in her eyes. It was true. The princess, now enraged and face full of tears, faced her lover.
"No...of course this is virtual...it's..." But McHallyboo's words rung truth, and they were right. Eclair stood up.
"You...you monster!" she screamed, facing Dashell with a look of devastation and rage. "Look at what you did for an exemption! Did you really have to do this? Is this what this game is making you all do?!" Dashell looked down at the sword in his hand, then back at Eclair. This time, it was him that didn't know what to say.
"I...just wanted to...win," Dashell said, his voice in a whisper. "I just..wanted to..." His eyes finally showed sadness, as he fell to his knees. It was only seconds until his appearance had changed. He was now sobbing.
"This is what this game does to me! I don't know why! I don't know why I did that to Snifit!" His wails got louder, as Eclair could only have tears in her eyes as well. Then, his eyes sharpened suddenly, as he turned to the sword next to him.
Eclair: And then I saw what he was doing in this world...and I didn't know what to think anymore.
"No, Dashell! Don't!" Eclair screamed, but it was too late. The sword, driven by his own hands, plunged right into Dashell's center as he let out a loud groan of agony. Eclair screamed, covering her eyes, as Dashell lied on the ground, in shock himself. But after a few seconds, his face of sadness turned into a small beam. He was facing up, smiling.
"Eclair..." he whispered, as the princess turned with surprise and a teared face. "I had always...loved..."
And then there was silence.
"No..." Eclair could not take in everything that had happened around her. "Is this...the truth? Is this virtual, or reality?" McHallyboo, coming from behind her, only shook his head and put his hand on her shoulder. He sighed, one of long thought.
"It's hard to tell..." McHallyboo began. "But let me tell you, that the things that happened on this voyage were either of truth, or the construction of this world. You have to decide for yourself...what was real or not tonight." Eclair, thinking herself, sighed with grief.
"Well," McHallyboo began, standing up. "The game...is over. Goodbye." He began walking to the back of the boat, and thinking that there wasn't much left anyway, jumped off its rear. Like the others before him, he had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
But on his way down he passed a Blooper, who looked very much like the one he had hosted and supervised two season again. The Blooper just looked at him, shook his head slightly disapproval, and swam off.
"Sometimes I see the past..." McHallyboo said underwater, as he sunk to the bottom of the sea, a smile on his face matching that of a sadistic and happy host.
And Eclair, left alone, sobbed.
This is actually just filler to think that there was more to the chapter, but there isn't. Just filler words. Don't mind these. Just scroll all the way to the bottom. I swear.
Yep, just filler. Just keep going down. Trust me, I swear. It's all there.
"But I don't trust you!" the reader says. "There must be something hidden here! A clue to the Mole?"
"Nope," replied krisetchers. "Just. Filler. Just lackluster, deceiving filler."
And then the reader and krisetchers laughed about it and went on with their lives, meeting once a week to make bond and amends.

Really? You're STILL looking? You are the best clue hunter ever! But lol, there really isn't anything here. You can believe it or not. I'm just telling you, this is literally filler. So when you reading in the beginning, you thought there was more to it, lol. Enjoy : D

Haha, sorry guys, couldn't help it. APRIL FOOLS! This was all fake! Don't worry! Everyone's still alive...for now.
When is the perfect opportunity to put in joke? xD But most of you probably figured out it was fake halfway through though. I've been lazy for the past April Fools in my lives, so I wanted to put this in for all my readers : )
Just imagine if this was all real...hmm, this game definitely took a turn D:
Anyways, there isn't much than that. But I did get my chapter reviews in time for you all : ) So yeshu! Replies you guys can fully focus on and understand since there wasn't a real chapter, hehe.
FredtheMontyMole: The funny thing is, this chapter was going back to my murder mystery roots of long past! Hmm...after all these years since my last one, I wonder how much better of a job I'd do in writing style! (and how much development agony and suffering I would put onto my characters...okay, maybe it's good that I don't write one at the moment D: haha) And Dashell's image at the end just standing there, oh YES! Someone needs to draw a picture of that. It's disturbing as heck, now that you mention it. And haha, oh Canada...
Moley Koopa: Hehe yeah, I feel like each character had their moments in this chapter! (even Tiny and Piantissimo, even before their untimely demises) Dashell enters a more cynical side in this chapter however, so despite that, I'm happy he's still your fave! Wait...didn't you say Tiny Kong was your favorite?! Are you cheating on the characters and being unfaithful to them?! Haha. Also, Mimi is amazing and despite her curtailed stay, glad you related to her! I won't lie, Mimi in my story is sort of based of a friend I have in real life, who is that mix of infuriating sassiness-snobbiest but at the same time unbelievable politeness. Well, I guess that's what makes a Mimi! hehe.
Guest: Ah, yes! I will write a Creepy Pasta article about this mission: the S.S. Reward Massacre Voyage. Where one is killing the crew and nobody knows who it is, even when the characters and the readers themselves initially thought they had solved in the end. The Sea Carnage of a Pixl? Haha, all the names that could be formulated. Hehe, and derp faces! I picture them well.
Phantom: Thank you! Hur, I'm happy for that excitement ; )
TheJoker21: I tend to have that thing for plot twists. I couldn't help it xD. A mission like this was the perfect opportunity, and truth be told, I did not think about the murder-mystery aspect of this game until the last second. Glad you liked it!
PuzzlingGamer: I have an unhealthy obsession with such cliffhangers so I both apologize and I'm happy for subjecting you guys to them! xD And yay, I updated! But perhaps not in the way you wished, hehe! Don't worry, I plan the real update to come in the near future for y'all! : )
Princess Toady: Oh MY goodness, your description of Tiny falling into the water gave me chills! And laughing?! How could write like that? Have you gotten some of my sadistic personality?! Ahaha. Maybe some of it rubbed off from me to you during Spy Among Author's ; ) anyways, hehe I MAY or I may not get the clue you seem to be referring to. It's a tough call on that, I'll say, hehe! I'll leave it at that. Why you talk in riddles?! Now I'm sure that some of me definitely rubbed off onto you...
NintendoMLP: Reading your review...was like...SEEING YOUR MIND. It was awesome. Like it was the perspective of a reader reading this certain chapter. Beginning with thinking Snifit was evil, following him, seeing all the steps and people dying, rooting for the final couple, and then NO, it's Dashell! Hehe. I absolutely loved it. Anyways, I'm happy you thought my reply was nice and that makes me happy too! : ) Yes, like I said before, if you ever do the Pixl story I'd be such a reader for that. Amazing stuff. Thanks for your fun review of a read, this one was pretty epic and absolute thrill hehe!
Luigenius: No hehe, actually! I picture you solvingthe mystery right at the last second, and dodging Dashell's attempt at pushing you off the boat in the nick of time! I'm just saying this cause I get the gist that you're fast on your feet, since you're so good at finding this knick-knacks and clues : p Anyways, did I trick you on this April Fools chapter? Lol! If not, then I guess you have me beat on my end this time. Also, there's something suspicious about "ransom-like" notes are they? Eclair's puzzle almost looks like one, lol. I can almost see the wooden letters being letter clippings from magazines...
Admiral Bobbery: Random Blooper reference! That was actually going to be a cameo of Yoshi scuba diving, but then I figured that having a Blooper in the ocean made a lot more sense. Anyways, ANALYSIS AWESOMNESS! You had a pretty great set of key points in predicting your Moles and winners. About your winner speal, it's awesome that you get my patterns of characters ; ) Honestly though, these "patterns" are always subconscious and I don't notice some of them until after the story's well past done! Also, great Mole analyzing. You have something going there, that ironically, "fits in" to logic hehe. And you made great justifiable points with the execution order of players that it's amazing thinking! Like, what happens if Option A happens on the boat? If Option B happens? You pretty much got things spot on, and how correct that result plays out, I guess you'll find out in the end of this and next chapter : )
Also don't worry about leaving a review on this chapter. I'll keep it for the history records.
Anyways, hope to get you guys back with the real chapter soon! ; )
