McLean Asylum for Deranged Delinquents - Warden's Room

Chris leaned back in the chair at his desk, watching over at one of the walls, which had many monitors on it. Each of the screens displayed a different room in the asylum, and the bedrooms weren't any exception to this. It seemed that there was no such thing as privacy when it came to life in the asylum. He took a sip from his mug of coffee, letting out a sharp "ah" right after and setting it back down on the coaster. He noticed that most of the contestants were still in their rooms, except for Wallace, who was meddling around with the door to the basement, trying to get it open with a lockpick.

The host sighed to himself, clicking his finger down on a red button and leaning forward to a microphone that was on top of his desk. "Wallace, this is the fourth time I have had to tell you to stay away from that door. You wouldn't want me to kick you out of here so soon, would you?" Chris's voice projected to the hallway that the boy was in, and he quickly snapped up, facing the camera and saluting it. "That's what I thought. Now, run along back to your room before I make Chef dunk you in the slop pot again." And, just like that, Wallace scrambled to get out of the hallway. On the cameras, he could be seen running up flights of stairs before inevitably making it back to the boys room and leaping into his bed, quickly hiding under the blankets and pretending like he never left the room to begin with.

"These people really get on my nerves sometimes, I swear." Chris let out a sigh as he slapped his palm against his face, soon letting it flop back down to his arm rest. "Last time on Total Drama: Nuthouse; the contestants were enjoying themselves a nice serving of slop, courtesy of the one and only Chef Hatchet, when I came to let them know that they should probably head on to their beds a bit early. Hey, I was trying to be nice and let them know that something big was coming, they just didn't wanna listen to me! Arin caught Henry fiddling with something under the table, which he insisted was just his naughty bits, but when she found a mysterious needle underneath the table, she found herself questioning what was really going down. There was anything but peace in the bedrooms, when Richard came to sleep with Honey and Wallace tried to steal from Rex, only to get his arm munched on like a chicken wing. Not to mention Mitsuki perving on George through a little peep hole that was in the wall there. I swear, rewatching that cracks me up everytime. We later came to wake the contestants up in the middle of the night, letting them know that there was a challenge in store for them! This one was a two parter, and the parts were really quite simple. Both teams had to elect a director for a horror film, who would have to make a script for them to work with while the rest of their team searched for props to use in the second part of the challenge, which was recording said horror film! Some of the nutjobs here found some good props and all, while others didn't have as much luck. Richard realized that Honey was just too easy for him, and decided to set his sights back on the fightful Lilac, and a mysterious superhero showed up to try and investigate the needle that Arin found earlier in the day! I wonder who that could've been? When the teams got back together, we introduced them to our interns, Anne, the comedic freak, and Suzie, the phone-obsessed maniac, who would be filming the movies for them. Lilac's film proved to be just as scary as its director, and nearly made Chef piss himself, while Renee's flopped big time. I mean, you don't put ads in the middle of a horror movie! All the atmosphere goes right out the window! In the end, it was Renee who was given the boot by her team for making such a crappy script. Which one of these miserable teams will find themselves at a member disadvantage sooner than the rest? We'll find out, right now, on Total Drama: Nuthouse!"

As the intro started, the front gate of the asylum opened up, revealing Chris and Chef by the twin doors to the massive building, each pulling one of the doors open, allowing the camera to fly inside.

"Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine," Rex ran down the hall, hissing like a reptile until he was tripped by George, who snickered while Mitsuki stared at him lovingly.

"You guys are on my mind," around the corner, Arin smiled awkwardly while Desiree talked her ears off, but something in the corner of her eye caught her attention, and she rushed into the bathroom.

"You asked me what I wanted to be, now I think the answer's plain to see," Honey popped up from a hole in the floor, holding a shiny keychain in her hand victoriously.

"I wanna be famous!" until it was snatched from her grasp by Wallace, who immediately had it stolen from him by Wane, this process going back and forth until the latter ate it, much to Wallace's dismay.

"I wanna live close to the sun," outside of the building, in the yard, Carmen was slowly headbanging, picking up the pace while getting ready for the big bass drop in her song.

"Go pack your bags, cause I've already won," when the drop hit, Henry meekly tried to approach her, only for her to accidentally kick him all the way across the field and into an outhouse.

"Everything to prove, nothing in my way; I'll get there one day," more near the gate, Marlin was laying in the dirt, sprawled out as he was waiting for his "people" to take him back home.

"I wanna be famous!" The killer with a hook hand poked the boy with his hockey stick, causing him to leap up from the dirt in fear, aiming a "ray gun" at him to shoot him, but it did nothing, and he was chased away by him.

"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!" Pink Panda stood in front of the asylum, striking a heroic pose while staring up to the rooftop, where Mr. Masktacular grinned down at her before leaping off of the building.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" As the two super-people chased after each other, Renee talked over the whole thing, as if she was filming for an ad, but Marlin ran into her and knocked them both to the ground.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" at the creepy asylum bonfire, right before the front gate, Richard leaned in to kiss Lilac, who growled at him and shoved him off of his chair. The camera panned out to show the rest of the cast sitting around the fire, whistling while Chris and Chef stood off to the side, and Suzie and Anne were locked up in a crate right next to them. As the intro ended, the main gate closed shut, revealing a sign on it that read "Total Drama: Nuthouse."

9:15 AM

McLean Asylum for Deranged Delinquents - Community Washrooms

It was early morning at the Asylum as the teens got ready for the day. Mitsuki was brushing her teeth with a small grin as she looked over to Desiree and Arin, who were doing their own morning routine "One potential rival down, two to go…but that doesn't even include…" Before she could get a chance to finish her sentence, Honey walked into the room, wearing nothing but a baggy pair of black pants and a white bra. Nothing more, nothing less. Mitsuki's jaw dropped as she stared at her. "Nononononononononono," all the color left her face while Honey happily walked over, oblivious to whatever issue she may have caused.

"The girls on my team won't share their toothpaste because I used all of mine to do a paste fight…can one of you guys share with me? Please?" As she spoke, Arin was staring just as much as Mitsuki, however her face had much more of a blush scrawled across it. Desiree was the only one not entranced by her appearance as she held her tube of toothpaste up to her.

"Sure! I'm more than happy to share! I heard Lilac screaming at you when it happened. Oh yeah, I wish I could've been there to watch it all go down! Us girls in here haven't fought once since Renee buggered off. It's kind of a shame, I love the whole atmosphere she brought to the place, really made our team pop!"

Mitsuki continued to stare as Honey bounced up and down in glee. Arin, meanwhile, had the courtesy to turn away from her and not just ogle her the whole time. Mitsuki snatched the toothpaste out of Desiree's hand before she could hand it over. "I'll give you mine as long as you don't stay here any longer than you already have!"

Honey just smiled as always, not realizing the hostility in her voice. "That sounds great to me! Thanks for the offer, little one!" The much taller girl rubbed the top of her head while leaning down, giving Mitsuki a full view of her valley. Mitsuki's eyes bugged out of her head as she just started screeching and trying to scratch at Honey. Arin had to jump into action and hold her back as her screeching became louder and more primal. Honey didn't seem to mind, however, just taking the toothpaste with a wide grin. "Thank you, Mitsu! I'll be more than happy to share whatever you want later, too!" Honey just skipped off soon after, not waiting for any further conversation.

Once Honey was fully out of view, Mitsuki slowly started to relax, just slouching in Arin's grip like a tired cat. "Well, I guess that was pretty fun," she smiled down at the calmed down girl, "I've never once seen a girl react that way to just sharing with someone. Do you have a thing against sharing, Mitsuki? Or is it just a sign against supporting communism? You see both of those pretty often yea I-"

Confessional

Mitsuki was covering her mouth and nose with her shirt as she breathed in slowly. "Okay…okay. Honey can't hurt me here…" She breathed in before lowering her shirt from her face. "Honey, that damn bimbo, came walking around our part of the building, and you know what the actual reason is!? She's trying to make me look bad in front of my George! She thinks just because she has nice tits, a fun personality, a round ass, juicy lips…" Mitsuki slowly stopped talking as she looked down to her hands before quickly shooting back up. "Everything a guy could want, not any girls, and she thinks that'll work on my George!? No way! Consider this war, Honey! War!"

Confessional End

After the teams got themselves cleaned up, Carmen was smirking to herself as she rocked out to some rock music, banging her head like there was no tomorrow. As she did this, George was just walking around on his own, enjoying some personal time away from his annoying team. However, that peace was eventually cut off by the sudden appearance of Carmen. "Hey, watch where you're going punk!" George was actually shocked to hear those words come out of her mouth before his.

"Tell me to watch out!?" George quickly glared at her, "You're the one who bumped into me! So, if I were you I would fully consider watching what you say before you regret it."

Carmen scoffed at him before spitting on his shoes. "Don't go tryin' to start fights, shrimpy boy. I've seen the way you talk to some of the others around here, and I could guarantee you that no one would miss you if you took a hit and got sent packing." She turned away from him, starting to walk in the opposite direction from where she was trying to go, only to turn right back around and walk the other way again. "Don't say it."

George snickered, waiting for her to get a little further ways down the hall before speaking up a bit. "I wonder how a dumbass like you would manage to do anything to me, considering you can't even remember where you're supposed to be going!" Carmen turned right back around, flaring up with anger as she charged back towards George, who started running away. "Aw, fuck!"

Confessional

George was rubbing a bruise on his head, "Something is up with that girl, no doubt about it. I mean, the last two challenges she just sat around listening to music. I never expected her to be the violent type suddenly!"

Carmen was sitting in the confessional, now listening to a ballad about a man who lost his mother. Tears were streaming down her face faster than she could wipe them away. "I-I-I feel so miserable...w-what if I lost my mom out of nowhere like that?" She started to bawl loudly, slamming her fists on the confessional door.

Confessional End

Wallace was wandering the halls, after recovering from the scolding Chris gave him over the loudspeaker earlier. He had a shiny pair of gold-framed glasses in one hand, which he was dusting off with a silky handkerchief. He turned a corner suddenly, noticing that Rex was standing at the end of the next hallway. The sight of the boy alone made Wallace shudder, remembering how he had bitten him just a few days ago. He turned around to go back the way he was coming from, only to hear a door creak open. Out of curiosity, he turned back around, noticing that Rex had opened the door to the basement, and was already entering it.

"Gah! How did he do that so easily?" Wallace's thoughts seemed almost loud enough to project out into the world. "I've been trying to get down there since we first arrived, but this creature man just showed up out of nowhere and opened the door in five seconds! I need to observe this closer, and learn how to harness this power of his!" The greedy boy slithered down the hall, peeking into the open door and noticing that Rex was staring right back at him, just at the top of the stairs. "Gah!" He fell over onto his rear, gasping while placing a hand over his chest.

"Why are you following me, weirdo?" Rex leaned forward to taunt Wallace, who was honestly at a loss for words. "I get it, I'm a being of pure awesomeness, but that doesn't give you the right to just creep around and perv on me everyday."

"H-haha! Everyday you say? Lies!" Wallace stood from the ground, crossing his arms while staring down at the boy with a grin. "I only follow you around every other day! And besides, I'm not perving on you, why would I do that?"

"I swear, this always happens after I take my helmet off for the first time. All the other gay guys start following me around like clockwork, it really is weird. I dunno what it is with you folks, but if I was interested I would've come right to you."

"W-what!? I'm not gay!" Wallace backed up a bit, seeming almost offended by the very insinuation that he would be attracted to other men. "I-I-I'll have you know that I love big boobies more than any other guy in the whole wide world! E-especially marble ones on carved statues...or the ones in paintings…" He seemed to tilt his head back, his tongue sticking out of his mouth while he drooled, just thinking about some of history's greatest sculptures and paintings of the nude form. Rex raised an eyebrow at him before shutting and locking the basement door behind him. Wallace suddenly snapped out of his trance, looking back over at the door and trying to pull it open. "Hey, I need to get down there!"

"So?" Rex shrugged as he kept on walking away from him. "That sounds like a you problem, just open the door yourself or something. Meanwhile, I've gotta get back to the cafeteria so I can get some of the good slop before it's all gone. I noticed that your tubby friend loves to inhale the stuff like oxygen." And like that, Rex turned the corner, and was completely out of sight. Wallace clenched his fist tightly, furrowing his brow.

Confessional

"I swear, by the end of the day, I will harness that dinosaur boy's secret power! I swear it!" Wallace took a stoic pose before soon slumping down and sighing. "Oh, how am I supposed to be a good treasure hunter if I can't open one measly door? Wallace, you can do so much better than this, come on!" He slapped his own forehead, forgetting that he was holding the glasses, and accidentally smashing them against his face.

"Not gonna lie, I did actually think Wallace was into me or something. I mean, I like the scrawny guys and all, but he's got a nose bigger than a toucan's beak. Not to mention that annoying need to take things from other people." Rex shuddered at the thought of it, "I just know our dinosaur ancestors would totally hate this dude."

Confessional End

Wane's stomach was growling something fierce as he walked around in the cafeteria, seeming to be quite upset about something. Henry was also in the room, although he merely sat down at one of the tables, choosing to avoid direct eye contact with the chaotic gullet monster. Soon enough, Wane tumbled on over to the table, slamming his fists down right in front of Henry and causing him to jump up in fright. "We need more food! F O O D! I'm going to starve to death if Chef doesn't get back in here and make me something!" He stomped his feet loudly, Henry shaking each time as the floor tremored.

"I-I-I mean you could probably just go into the kitchen and m-m-make something for yourself if you're really that desperate for food." Henry gestured back to the kitchen, directing Wane's attention to it. The larger boy let out an obnoxiously loud groan, followed by a foul smelling belch, right in Henry's face. He tried to wave off the stench, his brow furrowing a bit. It was unlike him to show any signs of being annoyed or angry. "Well, if you don't want to do that, I suppose you could just eat raw ingredients…" Suddenly, his voice got very, very quiet. "It's not like your heathenous gullet will be able to tell what you put in it, anyways."

"Eh? What did you just say?" Wane leaned forward over the table, and Henry stood from it, pushing his chair in. He tucked his hands into his pockets before starting to walk away from the enemy team member, almost seeming to be trying to grab something from said pockets. Of course, Wane noticed this, and immediately rushed over and started grabbing at his arm. "Hey, you're hiding food in your pockets, aren't you? Give me the goods! I wanna eat whatever you got."

"Stop touching me…" Henry's voice got really quiet again, to the point that it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying to him. "You foul mongrel." The two struggled back and forth for a brief moment, until, ultimately, feedback from the speakers in the corners of the room could be heard.

"Gooooood morning, psychotic patients!" It was Chris, of course, the bearer of all bad news. Wane and Henry stopped struggling with each other to stare up at the speaker. "I hope you've all had a chance to eat your breakfast, because we've got a challenge coming right up for you! That's right, meet me in the lobby in half an hour for further direction!"

Wane let out a grumbly sigh as he heard the news of the challenge. "I definitely did not eat enough for this, how am I supposed to-" He cut himself off as he turned to face Henry, only noticing then that the boy who was right next to him had already left the room. "Unbelievable! Leaving in the middle of a conversation like that, doesn't he know anything about manners?" he continued to grumble to himself, letting out some loud flatulence before he left the cafeteria.

Confessional

"They really let some sick weirdos come to this show." Wane scoffed before opening his maw wide and eating a picture of Henry's face. He chowed down on it slowly, seeming to savor the flavor before swallowing it down and opening his mouth to reveal there was nothing left in there. "Ah, it tastes like ink!"

Henry sat with his back turned to the camera, but something was quite off about him. He seemed to snapping his fingers to some weird sort of rhythm, as well as humming an ominous tune. "Gonna put on a big show tonight~!" He sang his words in an almost cocky sounding tone. "Gotta give 'em something to talk about, something to see~! Something incredible, something that's charming, something like me~!" He flicked a needle towards the camera, shutting it off quickly.

Confessional End

McLean Asylum for Deranged Delinquents - Foyer

After everyone made their way to the meeting area, Chris smiled down at the group. "Everyone got here so fast for once! And for that, today, and today only, I'll jump straight to the point!" Chris threw red colored vests to Arin, Wallace, and Mitsuki, while Wane, Desiree, and George got pink.

"Uh, is there any chance I can trade mine? Pink's not really a masculine color" Mitsuki immediately raised her vest to try and share with George, only for Chris to bonk her on the head with a rolled up newspaper. She started to rub her head, letting out a cat-like hiss soon after.

"Not happening! Now, let me pass out the rest of the vests!" Chris snapped before Chef threw a dark blue vest to Lilac, Richard, and Carmen, while Henry, Honey, and Rex got baby blue. "And so for this challenge, it's a rather simple one. Those of you with darker colors have to hunt those with lighter colors. Easy to get?" he smiled, getting some simple nods in response.

Mituski was just licking her lips with a wide grin as she looked over to Honey. Honey, of course, was just hanging out, not paying attention to anything as she was struggling to put on her light blue vest, only for it to be too tight and just squeeze against her chest. "Uhf, so tight…Chris, don't you have any bigger ones?" The host shook his head at her, and she let out a slight sigh. George silently smirked to himself as he noticed her predicament, just angering Mitsuki further.

"When do we start?" Mitsuki murmured angrily, her fists clenching up as if she was ready to start throwing hands.

"I 'm not finished quite yet, hold your horses." Chris just smirked back at her, "What host would I be if I neglected to mention the special immunity medallions that we've hidden somewhere in the asylum?"

"M-medallions!?" Wane and Wallace's mouths started watering at the thought of them.

"Yes, boys, medallions! There is a Chris medallion, and a Chef medallion, both of them hidden somewhere around here! You can use either medallion to negate all of the votes that you landed, saving yourself from elimination, of course! Whoever gets the second most votes will end up getting the boot in that ceremony, just something to keep your eyes peeled for, okie dokie?" Chris smirked as some of the contestants shared competitive glances with each other. "Now, back to the challenge at hand, you hunters gotta turn away and count to 100 slooooooowwwwwlllllyyyyyy before chasing after them. So, those of you with lighter colors, have yourself a ball!" He raised his hands and lowered them, giving them the cue as they started running off in different directions. "Darkies, you guys go stand by the wall and get to counting!"

The group turned to the wall, with Mitsuki at the end of the group and slowly glancing away with one of her eyes to see Honey running like a model in a photoshoot as she quietly growled.

While Mitsuki distracted herself with her blinding anger, Lilac and Richard just counted, getting through theirs pretty easily. Soon being followed up by Wallace, Carmen, and Arin. By the time Mitsuki turned back to the wall, she had realized they were all already going. "S-shoot! One of them will beat me to her at this rate!" She internally screamed at herself before closing her eyes and counting as fast as she could and breaking for the direction that Honey had gone.

Confessional

Richard had a confident smile on his face. "You know, I feel like I'm getting pretty close with Lilac, I mean…she didn't even get annoyed when I followed her for the hunt. I wouldn't be surprised if, after this challenge, Lilac wanted a one way train to smooch town."

Lilac had her own smirk. "You know, when Richard isn't a creep or anything, the guy can be kinda cute. Doesn't mean I'm letting that guy anywhere near my pants though. He's cute but he's got some more challenges to win if he even wants a hug."

Confessional End

Mitsuki was slowly walking through the wide open halls of the asylum, gritting her teeth as she looked around. "She's g-gotta be somewhere around here…" She grumbled, quietly looking around until she suddenly saw Honey bent over and stuck in the wall. Basically, she was wiggling her hips to try and get herself free. "W-what the hell are you doing!?" Mitsuki nearly screamed in shock.

Honey, on the other side of the wall, turned her head. "Is that Mitsu? Can you help me? I tripped while trying to hide and the wall was a lot thinner than I expected!"

Mitsuki just stared for a moment. Not sure what to do about this as she slowly reached a hand forward. "If I can catch her. Our team will have an advantage! George will even be impressed that I got someone so easily…!" However, the closer Mitsuki got to her round, shapely, well developed…Mitsuki was basically distracting herself as she started to sweat before pulling her hand back. "No! No, I can't touch that!" She screeched before running away, still screaming about temptresses.

"M-Mitsu?" Honey looked around, wondering where she was.

Confessional

Mitsuki was just shakily holding up her hand as she looked down at it, she was practically sweating bullets, "G-gah, that was close!" She still looked scared as she slowly did a grabbing motion with her hands before her eyes widened and she slammed her hand into the wall. "Don't do that!"

Confessional End

Wallace was currently on the prowl, holding a flashlight close to his chest while shining its beam throughout the darkened silver screen room. He looked through the rows of seats, trying his best to find out if anyone was in the room, only to hear a thud coming from the main entrance. He quickly turned around, shining the beam over at the door, only to find nobody there. He let out a quick sigh, followed by a chuckle. "Heheh, for a second there, I thought that...huh?" He lowered the light to the floor in front of the door, noticing that there was a knocked over dinosaur figurine.

"Alright, you reptile wannabe, I'm not playing around with you! Stop hiding around and face me like a man, coward!" He continued to turn often, shining the beam over at corners, chairs, the silver screen itself, anything. Eventually, when spinning around, his beam seemed to pass over Rex's face, but when he went to refocus it on him, he had vanished. Wallace gulped nervously, taking a few steps back from where he was. "I bet you think this is really funny, don't you? W-well, I'm not laughing!"

Suddenly, he heard a click echo throughout the room. He glanced back over at the doors, noticing that they were not only locked, but also barred shut. "...Clever boy." He wiped the ever growing amount of sweat from his brow, not noticing an ominous set of orange eyes glowing in the darkness behind him.

Desiree and Wane, not being the smartest of the hiders, ended up just hiding together behind a box. They were rather close, and most people would feel uncomfortable at the proximity but neither of them seemed to mind or care. Wane was scratching his ass as he leaned on his side, "How long do you think we have to hide for?" He slowly started sniffing his fingers that he scratched himself with.

Desiree shrugged a little, "We just have to hide better than the other team! But, that gives us plenty of time to talk too!" She grinned excitedly at him, "I think that Mitsuki girl on our team, remember her? Well, I think she might be into that hot girl on the other team! I mean, this morning she was practically staring at her chest as intensely as she does at George. I mean, it would make sense why she's always murmuring about 'whores' and 'sluts' being near her. She's just trying to avoid coming out of the closet. I had a friend back at school who told me she was scared to come out to her parents. But a few weeks later they found out. I really have no idea how they found out so fast. I think I actually saw Mitsuki going through Arin's bras, yea it's wei-" Desiree just kept rambling on from there, causing even Wane's head to spin.

Wane grumbled to himself as he started taking bites out of an onion, "Hey, how about you shut the hell up!?" He glared at her, "No one cares about your stupid rumors! If that small brat likes just boys or girls too I don't give a flying fuck!" Wane stuck the whole onion in his mouth and started chewing loudly.

Desiree looked like she was heartbroken and on the verge of tears as she just stared at him. "M-my gossip is fun though! Why wouldn't you enjoy it?"

Wave scowled at her before burping in her face "Maybe shut up. If you keep talking so loud and annoyingly the other team's gonna-" He was cut off by Desiree pushing him with a small frown. He groaned, rolling into the open with a small grunt. "Oh you stupid biiii…" Wane looked to the side to see Richard and Lilac just staring at him.

Lilac smirked before just throwing Richard at him, easily catching Wane off guard. "And our first contestant has been caught! Just two little Frogs left to snatch up!" Richard smirked back to Lilac, who just walked up to Desiree and grabbed her by the top of her head. "And that just leaves us down to George! You Frog hunters better pick up your pace, we make you look like chumps!"

Richard smiled over at Lilac as he got up, "Think I can get a kiss for a job well done?" Lilac rolled her eyes at him and shoved him a bit.

"Hey, don't get too cocky now. You're lucky I'm even looking at your shrimpy butt in the first place."

"You're looking at my butt?" Richard grinned at her, being shocked as he noticed that there was a similar grin on her face.

"Hey, if you're gonna have as much cake as a bakery, I have the right to window shop." She nudged him with her elbow, laughing outrageously while she noticed that he was blushing. He started laughing with her, she wasn't much like the other girls he had met. "So, now that we've gone and nabbed our Frogs already, what should we do? It'll be boring just waiting for Carmen to finish it up for us."

Richard shrugged back at her, whistling nonchalantly before his gaze wandered down to her chest. She noticed this, of course, and leaned down a bit to make herself look a bit more provocative. "Ah! You're damn near gonna give me a heart attack, doing stuff like that!"

"Oh, well excuse me!" She leaned back up with a smirk on her face before putting one arm behind her back while waggling her finger in an obnoxious manner. "Mayhaps I should be all prim and proper! No skin showing, and definitely no premarital hand-holding!" She glanced over at his face with her confident grin.

Richard couldn't help but burst into laughter, placing his hand on his shoulder while leaning over a bit in his howling fit. Of course, she started to laugh just like him, and soon enough, the two were rolling around on the floor, laughing til they started to tear up.

Confessional

"Man, teasing this dude is just too much fun. And he ain't a big baby over it, either." Lilac grinned as she tossed a rock from hand to hand. "All the dudes back around my hometown in India were total wussies all the time. 'You're too mean! Why can't you be more sweet like the other girls!' Sod off, boys. I ain't a family friendly tv show."

Richard was practically panting at the thought of Lilac being perverted like him. He put his fingers to his lips, whistling loudly. "Man, she's not only the sexiest girl in this whole whackhouse, but she's fun to be around, too! You don't find many of those kinds of girls around."

Confessional End

Mitsuki eventually stopped freaking out as she slowly relaxed and sat down on a box, just trying to catch her breath when she heard a "psst." She quickly looked around, wondering where it came from before she saw George's frizzy black hair peeking up from behind a box "Georgey!" She yelled in excitement as she ran over and hugged him tight.

George rolled his eyes and pushed her back. "Yea yea. Listen. Carmen's gonna catch me sooner or later with how she's been acting recently. So, I need you to drop your hunt for Honey and stop her. Got it?"

Mitsuki gave a little salute, "I'll distract her until you want her to stop paying attention to me!" George just rolled his eyes and shooed her away from him. She rushed on up to Carmen, standing right in front of her. She was much shorter than her, and the height disparity didn't help her look like any more of a threat than she actually was.

"Eh?" Carmen looked down at her, pulling one of her ear buds out. "Is there some reason you're here, or are you just trying to bug me?" Mitsuki twiddled her fingers a bit, having a hard time actually saying anything to her. Carmen let out an annoyed sigh, shaking her head at her. "Whatever, I don't have time for this. I got a Frog to find!" She started to walk past Mitsuki, who noticed that George was glaring at her. She gasped to herself before grabbing onto Carmen's ponytail and yanking it. "Ow, what the hell? Perra, ¿qué diablos te pasa?"

"Eh?" Mitsuki clearly had no idea what Carmen was saying to her. "I d-d-d-d-don't speak weird ponytail lady, s-s-sorry…"

"Weird ponytail lady!? It's just Spanish, you imbecile! Why did you yank my hair!?" Carmen crossed her arms as she glared down at Mitsuki, who was hardly paying attention to her. As she was getting yelled at, she noticed George creeping up behind the yeller, and pulling her phone from her pocket. He fiddled around with it a bit before slipping it back into her pocket and hiding himself again. Oddly enough, Carmen stopped her yelling entirely, and her eyes started to droop a little bit. "Huh…? Why am I even bothering with this...I've got a…" She let out a loud yawn, stretching her arms up. "Ah...whatever…" And like that, she trudged off, although a lot slower than she was moving before.

Confessional

Carmen was slouching onto the wall, sighing softly. "What a slow day…" She grumbled as she rubbed her eyes slowly. "But that's fine…I'll just have to find George and I can take a nap…"

George smirked, rubbing his hands together evilly. "What kind of idiot just has lullabies on their playlist? What an easy win! But, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry." He snickered, soon patting himself on the back. "I guess Chris never said where we had to hide…"

Confessional End

Mitsuki quietly went back to her hunt after helping him, slinking close to the ground. "She won't trick me this time… I'm going to nab her and George will have no reason but to reward me!" She could hear loud slamming and smashing noises as she grinned to herself. "That idiot's barely able to walk. Not like I'm surprised."

Mitsuki slowly snuck up behind a box, only to see Honey lying on her back with her legs spread open. The downed girl let out a weak groan. "I can't believe I just fell over that…" Honey was currently trying to pull a pot of honey, ironically, off her head. Mitsuki just stared down at her for a moment before suddenly slamming her head hard onto the box she was on, causing her forehead to bleed. Honey popped her head out of the pot, "Mitsu?" She quickly got up and rushed over to Mitsuki, lifting her up a bit to see that her head was bleeding. "Oh no!"

Mitsuki groaned, she had her eyes shut for a few moments before eventually opening them up to see Honey's chest floating right above her. Her eyes bulged out as she realized Honey was using her lap as a pillow for her. "REEEEEEEE!" She let out a primal screech before scratching at her and jumping right out of her grasp.

"Mitsuki, you need to lie down! Mom told me a scratch like that isn't good for you." Honey got up and slowly walked towards her. But, like a caged animal, Mitsuki lashed out further and just started running away as fast as she could. "Mitsu?" Honey frowned softly as she chased after her, however, not nearly as fast. Mitsuki was panting, seeing as she was a completely unathletic NEET. She looked around once she reached a dead end, only to see Honey's chest bouncing, bouncing, bouncing and yes, bouncing up and down as she got closer. "Mitsu, are you ok?"

Honey slowed down once she finally caught up to her. Mitsuki turned back to her, seeing that she was practically in her personal space. She frantically looked for a way out. After she couldn't find a single one, the short girl just started trying to crawl up the wall. She climbed as well as she could for a non-superhuman girl, making it a ways up before Honey grabbed her and pulled her down to a hug. "Mitsu, are you feeling ok?" She put her head against hers, feeling Mitsuki's face become hot from a blush. She frowned before pulling her down to her chest to hug her even tighter. "Let's go get you some medicine. You feel really hot right now...and you don't look so good either."

Mitsuki's eyes softened while being held in Honey's bosom. She took a breath in through her nose, and a small pervy smile appeared on her face as she moved a hand around her and started hugging her weakly. "Well, it looks like Honey and Mitsuki are snuggling it up! That's definitely gonna be good for our ratings. And lucky for the Frogs, I'll count that as Honey being caught. Just two more Seagulls are needed to bring the win to the Frogs, but the Seagulls themselves have a one point lead on them!" Mitsuki's eyes immediately widened hearing Chris announce that, blushing hard as she tried pulling away from Honey while she started walking off.

Confessional

Honey was sitting in the confessional while basically cradling Mitsuki like a baby. "Well, it stinks I got out first, but now me and Mitsu Mitsu will get to hang out!" She smiled excitedly, while Mitsuki was just trying to shrink away and stop existing.

Confessional End

Arin looked up at the speaker as she heard the announcement and smiled. "Well done, Mitsuki! Honey is out, and Wallace is already after Rex, that just leaves me to go after Henry." She tapped her chin as she glanced from door to door in the hallway she was in. "Now, if I were a socially awkward guy, where would I hide so that no one could find me? Aha! It has to be there!" She started to storm off to head to one of the upper levels, stopping right in front of the door to the boys room. "No one would ever check his bed!"

Arin twisted the doorknob open, and thus, opened the door. She glanced around the room, noticing that Henry's bed was completely empty. She let out a sigh as she walked over to it, trying to see if there was any sort of clue as to where he could've gone, only to notice that the window was open, and a cool breeze was rolling in."Huh? That's odd, why would someone leave the window open if they weren't in here? They're sure to drive the heating bill through the roof!" She started walking over to the window, lifting her hands to pull it down, only for something to strike the center of the glass, hitting it so quickly and precisely that it didn't have any shatter pattern around the small hole it had made.

"W-what is this?" Arin reached forward, grabbing the small object and pulling it out of the window, causing said window to shatter to pieces, which fell to the floor. It was a needle, one with the initials "MM" on it. She gulped in fear, turning to see a man standing in the doorway. He had black leather boots on, those which went up to just under his knees. There was a fine pair of white slacks which were tucked into them, while being held up by a black, leather belt. He had a button-down, white dress shirt that was tucked into his pants, with the sleeves going all the way down to his wrists, where the cuffs were rolled. There was a black vest buttoned over the shirt, with the letters "MM" embroidered in gold lettering on the left side of his chest. His hair was blonde, and quite a mess, in contrast to how neat the rest of him was. He had a gorgeous pair of blue eyes, yet, around them, there was a black, masquerade type mask, with gold stitching on it. He had the widest grin one could possibly imagine on his face, and between his fingers, he held numerous amounts of needles. "W-who are you!?"

The man shook his head at her, soon shrugging his shoulders while keeping that murky grin of his. "Come now, come now!" His tone was twisted, and certainly that of someone who was enjoying what they were doing a great deal. "You come looking for me, and now here I am, in the flesh, and you're acting all scared!" He stomped his feet on the ground, "Boo, boo, boo!"

Arin glanced over at the vest, noticing the lettering on it, and froze up a bit. "MM...you've been the one responsible for the needles I've been finding. They've got those same letters on them."

"They do stand for something, you know." He leaned forward, putting his hand to his ear as if he was waiting for her to say something, but she never did. He leaned back again, letting out quite the irritated groan. "Come on, now, you're not even going to try to guess? Very well, then! I shall inform you!" He leapt back, landing on a suddenly appearing stage while several women in sparkling black dresses danced around him. "I'm mystical!" After he spoke those words, the women quickly echoed the word "mystical'." "I'm marvelous!" Again, the women surrounding him echoed the word "marvelous." "And my ego is quite massive!" Yet a third time, the women echoed his word, this time being "massive." "I'm the gorgeous anti-hero that all swoon for, Mister Masktacular!"

Arin glanced around awkwardly at the display, and the man soon slid on over to her, aiming to wrap his arm around her shoulders, only to notice the height advantage she had on him. He scratched his chin for a moment before raising his finger in thought. Then, he pulled a small box on over to the two of them, standing on top of it to match up with her height. He then finally wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close so that they were cheek to cheek. "So, here's what I'm thinking, right? You've been kinda getting all up in my business, and that's sooooooooo annoying! So, I'll give you a five second head start to run away before I turn you into a pincushion. Does that sound good to you?" She opened her mouth to say something, only for him to place his finger over it. "Ah, no need to say it, you think that's a splendid idea! The eyes say it all!"

The anti-hero did a backflip off of the box, standing behind Arin and crossing his arms. She immediately started to run away from him, and his grin shifted right to a frown. "Hey, that's cheating! I haven't even started counting yet!" As soon as he had lost the grin, it pulled itself right back onto his face. "Oh well! If you're cheating, I guess that means that I can cheat, too!" He skipped his count of five, immediately rushing after her with a maniacal cackle. She ran down the halls as fast as she could, dodging needles that were flying past her left and right. "Keep running, keep running! You can't hide how scared you are of me and my gorgeous appearance! Listen to your heart, and let me hit you with my needles!"

As the man continued to cackle, Arin quickly jumped into the nearest bathroom that she could find. Not even five seconds later, the door burst open, and the Pink Panda leapt into a fighting position, causing Mister Masktacular to stop giving chase as he scratched his chin. "Alright, Mister Crazy Mask, your villainy ends right here!"

"Oh dear!" He started to shiver, though she knew it was all a farce. "I'm quaking in my boots! Will my undoing be caused by a girl in a fuzzy panda suit?" He shook his head at her, no longer shivering. "I think not! However…" He giggled to himself, just like a schoolgirl, causing some confusion among the superheroine that stood across from him. "Oh me, oh my! This is just too good!"

"What are you going on about now?" She scanned him over from head to toe, trying to see if she could pick out something that he was hiding, but her search came up empty. "You aren't trying to pull off a sneak attack or anything, I don't understand what's so funny to you, villain!"

"Ouch, oh, oof! That word wounds me so!" He clutched his chest and fell over onto his back, soon rolling around on the floor as she watched him. He could tell that she wasn't amused, but he was loving it all too much. "I'm not a villain, my dear Panda!" He shot back up to his feet, leaning forward with a perverse smile on his face. "Anti-hero! I simply do what's in my own best interest, can't you see that?"

"You guys are all the same villainous scum!"

Mister Masktacular glanced over at the camera, gesturing to the Pink Panda while leaning in to whisper to it. "These superhero schmucks never learn, do they?" He let out a sigh, not noticing that she was rushing towards him.

"Panda Punch!" She shouted before sending her fist flying into his side, therefore making him fly back a good bit before catching himself and standing up again. He made a pouty face as he rubbed his newly aching sigh.

"For a hero, you sure do like to cheat! I wasn't even looking, and wham! You punch me in my beautiful ribs! Well, if that's how it's going to be-" He tucked the needles in his hands into his pants pockets, soon pulling out a large nail gun from the very same pockets, as if he was in an old timey cartoon. "Let's make things more exciting!" Her panda eyes widened as she saw the nailgun, and she started running down the hall, yet again. Nails started whirring past her at incredible speeds, while the maniacal man behind her just gave chase, firing and cackling as he went.

Confessional

"Bwahahaha!" Mister Masktacular laughed in the very same maniacal tone from before, soon stopping to blow a kiss to the camera. "I may be a little bit of a loon, just a wee bit, but you can't tell me that you don't get adrenaline rushing through your veins when you chase after someone! Huh? Normal people don't chase after other people? Boo! That's boring!"

"T-this villain is quite the crafty one! But, no evil is a match for-" Pink Panda was rattling off her heroic spiel when Mister Masktacular broke through the door with his head, glaring at her.

"Not a villain! You know, you're really starting to hurt my feelings, lady, boohoohoo!" He pretended to sob for a bit, only stopping when she punched him in the face.

Confessional End

Lilac and Richard kept on going down the halls together, the first of which was whistling as she had her eyes closed, and her arms behind her head. Richard couldn't help himself as he looked over at her chest, a small grin forming on his face. He leaned in to look a little closer, only for Lilac to put him in a headlock, soon giving him a noogie with her other hand. "A-ah! Cut it out, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Hm, I dunno," she smirked down at him, "Doesn't sound like you really mean that or anything to me." She kept on giving him a noogie as he tried to scramble free of her grasp. Eventually, she let him squeeze his head out, and she snickered at him. "Now, what did we learn?"

"Objectifying women and staring at their boobies, no matter how tantalizing they may be, is wrong?" Lilac nodded back at Richard as he rattled off. "...Buuuuuut, if that girl is a super cool badass, she'll pull her head in right up next to said boobies, and you get to watch them jiggle while she gives you a noogie."

Her eyes widened a bit before she crossed her arms, causing him to let out a soft "aw." "Don't whine at me, you've had enough fun for one day. Just be glad that I didn't pummel you for all those moves you were trying to pull today. You should be grateful."

"And grateful I am!" Richard smiled proudly, crossing his arms and shutting his eyes. Lilac couldn't help but smirk a little at the boy's pride.

"Yeah, well maybe- huh?" Lilac went to say something, only to notice Carmen at the far end of the hall. She was moving quite slow compared to her normal pace, letting out a yawn every few seconds. She started coming towards them, still dragging her feet as slow as she could. "Yo, Carmen. What's the deal with you, why're you acting like you haven't slept in days."

"Huh?" Carmen yawned again as she kept on trudging along, walking right on past the two of them without even turning to speak to them. "I don't have the time to answer that...gotta find George...gotta find George...gotta find a place to sleep…" And she kept walking, though Lilac's suspicions had been raised.

"I've got a feeling that she's not a hundred percent with it, right now. Maybe we should follow her to make sure she doesn't try to fall asleep in the middle of the challenge, eh?" She glanced over to Richard to hear his thoughts, only to see him staring at her butt. She groaned before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and tugging him along behind her.

Confessional

"Eh?" Carmen's tired eyes stared towards the hole in the confessional wall. She couldn't remember it being there before, but with the way that things went around here, it wasn't unusual for these sudden changes to happen. "Eh, I guess Chris wanted to add in a window for some better atmosphere here...Wait a minute, why would you put a window in an outhouse? This guy makes no sense sometimes, I swear." She let out another yawn, slumping over a little as she struggled to keep herself awake.

Confessional End

George was wandering around and looking for the perfect hiding spot, when he happened upon the front entrance to the building. He grinned as a thought came to mind, and he pulled the door open to let a cold breeze roll in. He whistled deviously as he took a step outside, shutting the door behind him while he walked over to the front gate. "Hmm, would Chris consider this to be cheating? Bah, what do I care?" He laughed a bit as he walked past the gate, heading for the bus that had dropped everybody off at the asylum in the first place.

As he took his first step onto the bus, he heard a loud shattering noise in the distance. He glanced back over at the mansion, noticing that there was glass falling from one of the windows. The boy raised his brow at the sight, stepping back out of the bus to try and find what caused the window to shatter. He couldn't really see anything, but he heard what sounded like a cackle of sorts. "Urk, being stuck in an asylum really gives me the creeps sometimes. If it weren't for the fact that we have so many bozos between the lot of us, I'd be worried about that laughter!" He shook his head at the cackling and went right back onto the bus, sitting in the driver's seat and lounging in it.

"Ah, now this is the perfect hiding spot!" He looked at the console of the bus, noticing the controls for the door and grinning at them. "Oho, George, you devil! Surely you wouldn't shut the door so that no one could get in here to tag you!" He shook his head and chuckled before pulling the lever. "Of course I would, who am I kidding?" The door shut tight, right on cue, and he continued to laugh at his brilliance. "I'd love to see Carmen try and get in here now!"

Suddenly, his laughter was cut short when he noticed someone walking around the perimeter of the building. He narrowed his eyes at the sight, trying to get a better look at them, but it was quite difficult. He could only pick out that the person in question was a bulky man, and that he was wearing a hockey mask. "That's odd, I don't remember any of us being into hockey or anything. Eh, maybe it's just another intern or something, nothing to lose sleep over. And speaking of sleep…" George grinned as he noticed the front door open, revealing a tired Carmen standing there. She was barely holding herself up as she walked, and it was all too amusing for George.

Confessional

"Oh, this is just too good! Carmen isn't even going to be able to try and get the door open with how exhausted she is! Score for George!" George raised his fists in the air triumphantly, then noticing the very same hole in the confessional wall. "Eh? Better hope Mitsuki isn't around anywhere…"

Confessional End

Suzie and Anne were sitting together in a break room of sorts, the former playing a game on her phone while the latter was balancing a pencil on her upper lip as if it were a mustache. The jokester looked over at her coworker, noticing just how into her game she was, and not noticing how funny she was currently being. "Hey, hey! Earth to Suzie!" Anne's words seemed to have no effect on the girl, as she kept on focusing on her phone and nothing else. "You know, you make it really hard to talk to you, always so focused on that phone."

"Huh?" Suzie glanced up from her game for a brief moment, noticing the pencil that Anne was balancing before looking right back down at her game. "Nice mustache, Antonio." Anne let out a sigh, pulling the pencil from her face and setting it back down on the table. Suddenly, a loud racket of noise could be heard from the hallway. Anne peeked out of the doorway to notice the Pink Panda running past her, and Mister Masktacular firing his nails at her, as well as cackling like the maniac he was. Suzie even noticed the two superpeople going by, much to everyone's shock.

They passed by soon enough, and Anne slumped back down into the chair that she was sitting in before, not sure how to even joke about what she just saw. She glanced over at Suzie, only to notice that the most devious grin had creeped its way onto her face. "Please, don't say it," Anne pleaded, though it was all in vain.

"That guy out there seemed pretty sus, right?" Suzie giggled a little at her own comment, only for a pie to fly right into her face and knock her to the floor.

"Leave the corny jokes to me, girl. Your jokes are just a level of cringe that I couldn't even hope to accomplish with mine." Anne got up from her seat and started walking towards the doorway.

"No need to be such a sussy baka, Anne!" Suzie climbed up to her feet, pulling the pie off of her face, only for Anne to whap her on the head with a rubber mallet, knocking her out, right there. She sighed, tossing the mallet away and causing it to make a loud crash sound where it landed.

Confessional

"And people get annoyed with me really easily!" Anne scoffed as she had her arms crossed. "I have to deal with her literally every day! We share the same bedroom, too! Man, I really need to ask Chris for an upgrade to these living situations."

"Heheh, looks like there's an imposter running rampant through the building!" Suzie beamed while she held an ice pack on her head. She noticed the hole in the confessional, grinning yet again. "Someone must've vented, eh?"

Confessional End

Mister Masktacular continued to chase the superhero down the halls, happily firing nail after nail at her whilst he cackled oh so maniacally. Soon enough, she turned a corner, only to find herself stuck in a dead end. "Ah, crap!" She tried to turn back around, only to see him standing right there, his nail gun aimed right at her.

"Don't think you're gonna keep on running now! But, just in case you try…" He started firing his nails back at her, successfully shooting them through the fabric of her outfit and sticking her to the wall. She struggled to pull herself free from being bound to the wall, but it was of no use, she was stuck good. He took a few steps towards her, tucking the nail gun back into his pocket. It still shocked her as to how it even fit in there.

"W-why are you doing this? If you're a so-called anti-hero, then shouldn't you have better things to do than attack me like this?" She gulped nervously as the man scratched his chin. He shrugged his shoulders at her.

"I would have an answer for you if I was actually attacking you. You see, if I wanted to hurt you...heh, you'd already be dead! I mean, look at yourself! You're stuck to a wall, if there was anything you could do to fight back, you'd be doing it."

"So then what are you doing? What's the purpose of cornering me here?"

"I must admit, I was quite irritated with you prying into my business and all. But that has since changed, oh yes!" He chuckled slightly as he leaned up against the wall she was stuck to. He glanced over at her, the same shit eating grin on his face as before. "I have to admit that my outlook has since changed. Us boys will do anything to impress a girl that we like!"

"A girl you like?" She felt a bit queasy as he mentioned that bit, sinking back as close as she could to the wall. "You can't seriously be saying that you attacked me with needles and nails as a display of affection! Only a villain would do something as chaotic and strange as that!"

"Villain, schmillain! I can profess my love to you in any way I want, and I'm quite sure I got my point across. Get it? Nails have points?" The Pink Panda wasn't having it, and she didn't laugh at the joke. He could only wave her off as he sighed. "I guess you'll warm up to the jokes later on, won't you?" With that, he started whistling as he began walking down to turn the corner again.

"Hang on!" She shouted after him, getting him to turn back around for a brief moment. "You can't leave me nailed up to this wall, how am I supposed to get out of this mess?"

Mister Masktacular shrugged once more, clearly not wanting to help her out in the slightest. "You've got a sharp mind, Miss Panda. I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something!" He chuckled again, turning back around and turning the corner. "Until we meet again, you foxy minx, you!" And then, he was gone. Out of earshot, and definitely nowhere to be seen. The superhero tried to struggle her way out some more, but she made no progress. She let out a long sigh, glancing down at the floor and thinking about all that just went down.

Meanwhile, Wallace was going through a different type of hellish trial in the silver screen room. Rex was essentially bouncing from wall to wall, it seemed as if he was some sort of anime character. The treasure hunter was sweating profusely, and letting out a series of exhausted heaves. "You...bastard...dinosaur! Just come here so I can grab you already!" Wallace raised his fist up and shook it, only to fall down to his butt when Rex dashed past him. His scrawniness definitely didn't help against big gusts of wind. "You are taking this challenge way too seriously, just give it up!"

"As if I'd ever let myself get caught by the likes of you!" Rex dashed past Wallace as he was trying to pull himself back up to his feet, successfully knocking him right back down to the floor. "If you wanna catch me, you're gonna have to try harder than that! Seriously, who wants a teammate that doesn't try to win the challenges to the best of their ability?"

"You shut up, you don't know what you're talking about!" Wallace jumped up, glaring off at the boy, who was standing over in one of the corners. "I'm the best damn member of my team, and everyone knows it!"

"Oh please, you have nothing to add to that team! You're built like a twig, you aren't very smart, and all you ever do is try to molest shiny objects! You know damn well that they would be better off without some idiot like you to bring them down!" Wallace clenched his fists, staring down at his feet. Rex started to dash towards him again, even faster than before. "Just face the fact that they're going to get rid of you for being as useless as you are!"

"Useless as you are, useless as you are, useless as you are!" The words played on loop in the treasure hunter's head, reminding him of something he had always wanted to forget. His father showed up in his head, looking down at him with a disappointed gaze. "You failed all your classes in high school and you lost your part time job! You're a disgrace of a son! What did I do to deserve a son as useless as you are?"

Wallace gritted his teeth, looking dead ahead to stare at the oncoming Rex. "I'm...not...useless!" He shouted his words, raising his arm at the same time. As rex barreled towards him, he ran straight into his fist, which landed right on his stomach. The impact caused him to vomit and tumble down to the ground. Wallace kept on heaving, though he now had a grin on his face. "How's that for useless, you stupid dinosaur?"

He started to walk away from the boy, tucking his hands into his pockets when Chris's voice came on the overhead speakers. "And it looks like Wallace has used the power of tragic backstories to take down Rex and score another point for his team! The scores are now neck and neck! Will the Frogs make a comeback and win this challenge, after all?"

Confessional

Wallace still had his fist clenched, and he was staring at it. Despite having a smile on his face, his eyes were tearing up. "I sure showed you, pa! I'm not useless after all!"

Confessional End

Carmen kept on moving outside slowly, noticing that the gate looked as if it had been moved a couple inches or so from where she saw it last. She stretched and yawned before continuing on towards it, inspecting it as she got closer. Then and there, she realized that George was in the driver's seat of the bus, waving at her with a smirk on his face. "George…! You're hiding in that big metal…" She yawned again, "That...bus…" She kept on pressing towards the bus, soon reaching the door.

Lilac and Richard were watching her from the door, still feeling a bit concerned about how exhausted she was. They watched as she lifted her hand to grab the door's handle, but right before she could touch it, she slumped over into the dirt, completely out cold, and snored loudly. "Ah, crap! Carmen, why are you taking a dirt nap right now!?" Lilac started to run out towards the girl, with Richard following her instinctively.

Meanwhile, the Pink Panda was still nailed to the wall, though the threads of her costume were coming quite loose from all the struggling she was doing. "Come on, almost…" She groaned as she struggled just a bit more, causing her to tear her costume in half, leaving her just in her bra and underwear, both of which were pink in color. She blushed a bit, grabbing her torn costume and holding it over herself. "Now, I just need to get back to my room before anybody sees me."

Arin started running, turning the corner to bump into something, which caused her and that something to fall over. She rubbed the back of her head, looking over to see that she had just bumped into Henry, who was staring blankly at her. "You!" She shouted, lunging at him and tackling him. She held his wrists to the ground, glaring at him. "I oughtta-"

Just then, the angered girl was cut off by Chris's voice through the speakers, yet again. "Wow, in a shocking turn of events, Henry just walked right out into the open and let a half-naked Arin nab him! Methinks he was hoping to get a piece of that, but she looks pretty pissed at him! Either way, that was the last contestant that the Frogs needed to catch, so the Freakish Frogs are the winners of the challenge! Psychotic Seagulls, you folks can meet me tonight at the bonfire ceremony for a sweet elimination!"

Arin sighed, looking back from the speakers to see that Henry had somehow slinked away from her grasp and was nowhere to be seen. She groaned as she got up from the ground, starting back towards the girls' room.

Confessional

"That Mister Masktacular sure did look a lot like Henry...I'm gonna have to ask him some questions later! But for now...I think I'm gonna need a nap. This day has taken quite the toll on me already." Arin leaned back in her seat, letting out an exhausted yawn.

Confessional End

October 2nd

7:45 PM

McLean Asylum for Deranged Delinquents - Outside Bonfire

The disgruntled Seagulls found themselves back outside at the bonfire for yet another elimination ceremony. Carmen was struggling to keep her eyes open as she listened to her music. They slowly started to creak shut, but an angry Lilac snapped right in her face, forcing her to open them up glanced over at the snapper, noticing the glare that was plastered on her face, and sunk down in her seat. Richard was using the opportunity to rub Lilac's shoulders, grinning as she didn't seem to notice a thing. Honey was bouncing up and down in her seat, whistling a happy tune as she did so. Rex had his arms crossed while he sat, still displeased with the fact that he was caught by Wallace. Henry seemed a bit off, compared to the rest of his team. He wasn't much paying attention to what was going on around him, but he was staring directly at one of the windows of the building, a slight grin on his face.

Chris grinned over at the lot of them, revealing that, in hand, he only had five bags of peanuts, not a good sign for the sixth member of the team, whoever that may have been. "Well, well, well, Psychotic Seagulls! You're back here again! You know, I really was starting to miss you after that last elimination ceremony, it truly is great to have the season's first set of losers back."

"Oh, shove it, McLean," Lilac hissed at him, finally noticing that Richard was rubbing her shoulders and sighing. "I'm really not in the mood right now." Richard shrugged and pulled his hands back, earning the two of them a curious look from the host.

"Hohoho, what's going on with you two? You couldn't stand him at first, and now he's moved up to shoulder rubs?" Chris snickered up until she launched her shoe at his head. He rubbed the newly formed bump on his head, hissing in pain as he first touched it. "Alright, alright, I was just kidding, gosh! But, let's get down to business here, shall we? You guys lost, big time! Well, I guess you were only one catch off from the other team, so things could've been worse for you. Either way, you're here now, and you have all voted to get rid of the weak link of your team. I'm gonna start handing out these safety peanuts to those who are still in the game, but for the unfortunate wackadoo that racked up the most votes, it's a trip down to the lame-o-sine for you! First up...Rex!"

"Whatever, it was a stupid challenge anyways," Rex grumbled before he caught the bag of peanuts, pulling his arm back so he could keep them crossed in his anger.

"Ah, I love to see you guys disappoint yourselves over and over again. Truly a sight to see. Up next, we've got Richard and Lilac, you little lovebirds!" Chris snickered before tossing the next two bags of nuts out, only for another shoe to hit him right in the head. "Oh, come on! It's my job to be witty and humorous!"

"Yeah? And It's my job to make sure you don't get too cocky around me," Lilac stuck her pierced tongue out at him, only causing Richard to notice it and bite his lip.

"Y-yeah, what she said!" Richard piped up, though he clearly wasn't paying attention to his surroundings over Lilac, as the bag of peanuts hit him in the back of the head, knocking him down, face first into her lap. She could only shake her head at him before picking him back up and setting him back on his seat, showing that he now had a nosebleed.

Chris groaned as he continued to rub his sore, bruised face. "Alright...and the other contestant that didn't get any votes...Honey." The host tossed out the fourth bag of peanuts to the girl, who caught them with a grin on her face.

"Wowee, even though I got caught first, you guys didn't vote for me?" She smiled over at all of her teammates. "You guys must really like me, huh?"

Only two contestants were left on the chopping block, those being Carmen and Henry. The music lover had her fingers crossed, but she was still having a difficult time staying awake during all of this, while the awkward boy still didn't seem to care. He was really fixated on that window. "Well, that just leaves two extremely psychotic Psychotic Seagulls. Henry, you probably could've lasted long enough to give your team time to catch George, but you totally gave yourself right up to the enemy! What a shocker! And Carmen, you snoozed on the job, and cost your team the win. The last bag of peanuts here goes to…"

"...Henry!" Chris tossed out the last bag, the boy catching it without even glancing back at it. Carmen was still extremely drowsy, but she managed to sadly frown as she slowly pulled herself up from her seat. "Carmen, sorry girl, but you need to learn how to work without your music if you ever wanna have any hope in a game like this one. It's the lmae-o-sine for you, I'm afraid."

"Ah, I should've known this was coming from the start of things." Carmen let out a loud yawn as she started to trudge on over to the lame-o-sine, glancing back over at her team just before she opened the door to get in. "Rex, I need to admit, I thought you were really weird at first, but after seeing you in action for the last two challenges...well, I have hope that you can bring home the win." She flashed the boy a thumbs up, causing him to shake off his anger for a moment to give one back to her. "I believe in you, dino boy!" And with those words, Carmen opened the door to the lame-o-sine, hopping into it and shutting the door behind her, falling asleep inside of it almost immediately.

"Alright, enough sappy moments, you're totally gonna ruin the fun of the elimination ceremony for me." Chris waved the contestants off before tossing the now empty platter aside. "Go on and march your butts back to your rooms or whatever, I dunno. Just buzz off." The contestants, for the most part, grumbled after the host's harsh words, each of them getting up from their seats to start back towards the asylum entrance.

Henry took his walk very slowly, continuing to keep his eye on the same window from before. The small grin on his face raised a certain uneasiness, especially when he started to wave at the window. "Sweet dreams, Pink Panda...sweet dreams." He started to chuckle to himself quietly, shaking his head before entering the building. In the room with the window that he was staring at, Arin was clutching the windowsill tightly. She gulped nervously before closing the blinds and backing away from the window.

Confessional

"Today really was a strange day for me," Arin was staring off at the door, feeling a bit queasy as she recalled what had happened to her during the challenge. "That guy came out of nowhere, throwing those needles everywhere! I really need to get to the bottom of this...villainy can't just run rampant while I'm here!"

Confessional End

Wallace whistled as he was walking the halls, yet again. He was going down his usual path, in search of rare finds, of course. Eventually, he reached that very door that he had been oh so obsessed with for a good while. He stopped to stare at it for a moment, raising his hand to scratch his chin. "Ah, who am I kidding, I'll never be able to get in there with the door locked and all." He let out a chuckle, shaking his head as he approached the door and put his hand on the knob. "I mean, Chris must be hiding something really important down there if he needs to-" He turned the doorknob, hearing a click as it opened, much to his shock. The stairway was incredibly dark, and there was no visible lightswitch around.

He thought to himself for a moment, "That's really odd...I could've sworn that Chris was keeping this door locked. He didn't shout at me to buzz off this time, either. Whatever could that be for?" He continued to scratch his chin, ultimately stopping when he recalled a little tidbit he heard Chris mentioned earlier in the day. A wide grin grew across his face, and he started to laugh uproariously, soon heading down the stairs and slamming the door behind him.
