Crisper:… uh, h-hey, everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Random Roulette! I'll be taking over this AN, because… Gamer had an experience. a certainly frightening one.
Me: ThinkaboutbunniesandAidenthinkaboutbunniesandAidenthinkaboutbunniesandAiden-
Crisper:… okay. Um, well, PikaLoverNYA says:
Ooo... I wanna see this would happen~ Let's see...
9, 37, 30, and 15 are watching a normal video online until 9 curiously clicked a video called "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared" that caused reactions to others
Crisper: Now, you can probably see why Gamer is… having an unpleasant night… but, anyways, I'll go ahead and convert it!
(pip-ding!)
Ivor, Hadrian, Cassie, and Ellegaard are watching a normal video online until Ivor curiously clicked a video called "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared" that caused reactions to others.
Crisper: (raises hand to button) Uh, Gamer?
Gamer: BunniesandAidenbunniesandAidenbunniesandAiden—OH GOODNESS IT'S NOT WORKING!
Crisper: 0.0 I'll, um… take that as a 'hit it, Crisper'… (hits it).
It is a normal Thursday night in the mansion's game-room. Ivor, Ellegaard, Hadrian and Cassie are gathered around the computer in the game-room watching videos while some of the others do their own thing.
"And that," A man says on the screen, "Is the end of this very normal video. Please subscribe." The video ends and Cassie gives a bored sigh.
"All this stupid normalcy's getting to my head. Why can't… abnormal be the new normal? Why can't dogs walk people instead? Why don't babies give birth to women instead? Why is it still illegal for me to be an axe-wielding manhunter?" She whines, getting shocked looks from the other three. "What?"
"… nothing, Cassie." The three of them say in unison.
"This," Hadrian says to you as he delicately breaks the fourth wall, "Is exactly why Cassie got kicked off the team."
"What?" Cassie snaps. "Who're you talking to, anyways?"
"Nothing, Cassie." Hadrian says quickly, but not before Cassie grabs him by the purple tuxedo and slams him to the floor.
"What'd you SAY old man?!" She demands, screaming right into his face with ferocity.
"Whoa! Calm down before you conk his brain!" Ellegaard shouts, standing up to pull the crazy killer off the fazed builder.
"YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT WHY! YOU KNOW IT! ADMIT IT, OLD MAN! I WAS ALWAYS BETTER THAN YOU AND YOUR PURPLE SLACKS!" She screams, putting up a hissy fit while Ellegaard tries to hold her down.
"Cassie! Look! Um…." Ivor quickly scans through the YouCube feed to find a video to calm down the murderer. He sees a video with a bug-eyed yellow puppet sitting alongside a puppet notebook, something happy and slightly creepy. "Puppets!" He shouts, taking a horrible risk by clicking the link.
As soon as the video plays, Cassie is immediately entranced by the four puppets, including an orange, stringy puppet that looks like one of Jim Henson's Muppets. In the video, the notepad is teaching them about….
Being creative.
"This is lame." Cassie says as she stares at the screen with bored eyes. The cute song continues to play as the four puppets learn how to be creative. Ellegaard, although slightly weirded out by the proportions of the puppets and their eyes, finds the video somewhat adorable and very childish.
"Ocelott, Gill! Come look at this!" She says. From across the room, the two walk over to the screen to watch the happy fun!
"What is this?" Gill asks, slightly creeped out by the yellow puppet's bulging eyes with tiny pupils. Ocelott smiles wildly as the song fills her ears.
"I dunno, really." Ellegaard answers, studying the show further. "Some weird kid's show, I guess."
"Creative!" Ocelott shouts. Hadrian glares at the screen with unease, glancing back and forth between it and Cassie Rose who sits and watches attentively.
"Something's not right about—"
"Shh! I wanna watch the creative!" Ocelott whispers enthusiastically as she watched the crow painting a picture of a clown.
"I'll be creative by painting this clown!" He sings, er, says in a weird sounding voice.
"You might wanna slow down, there!" The notepad says before a slimy, thick, black liquid spills all over the painting. The consistency and randomness of the addition makes Ivor's stomach squirm, but Ocelott has other thoughts.
"Chocolate!" She shouts gleefully while Ellegaard eyes the screen with a growing fear.
"Yeah… chocolate…." She mutters as the song continues.
About halfway into the song, though, things start going down to the Nether. Though, this is done with quite some creative flair.
The screen suddenly glitches before the viewers are presented the sight of costume-versions of the orange stringamathingy [seriously, idk], the crow and the puppet, all participating in lovely crafts! The crow, staring blankly ahead with tiny, creepy eyes slams the letter D onto a sheet of orange paper.
The camera switches to the orange guy, who dashes his yellow paper with a streak of pink, shiny glitter! Next, the puppet-dude starts baking a cake. But as the video's time hits the three-minute mark, things start to get worse. The music escalates to un-harmonic violin-screaming. The camera begins to flip out, switching back and forth between the once-innocent crafts that have somehow become… creatively catastrophic.
Ellegaard screams in shock and fear when the camera snaps back to a heart of gold glitter being playfully held by the orange guy. She is filled with disgust at the sight of the puppet's "Delicious" meatshake cake that makes Ocelott grin wildly.
"Strawberry!" She shouts, completely unaware of the horrified faces around her… well, except for Cassie Rose who is sitting pleasantly with a bag of popcorn.
"This is my kind of video!" She laughs as the screen flashes to the crow's craft, a poster with the smeared, horrific word of 'death'. Ivor slams the pause button, screaming on the inside as he clutches his head with eyes clamped shut. Ocelott stares around with wide, confused eyes.
"Gill, why's he crying?" She asks, looking at Gill who just stares ahead with a terribly blank expression on his face. After waiting a few seconds for his answer, she decides he's not coming through. She reaches forward and hits play, conjuring a loud shout of 'NO!' from the onlookers. The video continues on its glorious path to hell before the screen glitches again from meatshakes and black blood to the puppets sitting stock still at the table, back to their original forms of dead, bulging-eyed strips of fabric on someone's hand.
The video fades to pitch black, making Ellegaard shiver to the keyboard to quickly skip past the ominous emptiness, thanking Notch that she skipped the scene before something unexpected occurred. The credits roll, and so does the black, thick blood going out the mouse-hole onto the checkered floor. The adults watch in terror as the video draws to its end.
"… I swear to Notch." Hadrian mutters under his breath, nervously clenching his fists. He glances down to see Ellegaard pouring eyedrops into her eyes at a frantic pace. "What's that?" He asks.
"Holy Water." She says before giving a loud, hysteric laugh. "It's a good thing Craftazon has freaky-fast delivery! I ordered this within a minute of that video!" She says as Holy Water—or terrified tears—rolls down her eyes.
Ivor runs his hands down his face, writhing in terror. "No, no, no, no!" He moans to himself, his voice muffled by his calloused hands. Cassie eyes him confusedly.
"I seriously don't get what's wrong with you guys. For building without petitions!—" Reginald angrily peeks from around a corner, "—It's just a bit of blood and some freak as heck puppets! Nothing scary about that!"
"I want to get creative." Ocelott says, starting to pay close attention to the voices in her head.
"Please, do NOT!" Ivor shouts, glaring at her and poking her nose while Ocelott stares back with glee.
"Wow." She says before a sledgehammer smashes down on the computer with a loud crash and a zap of electricity!
"No more computer!" Ellegaard, who was wielding said hammer, screams before lifting it off the destroyed PC. Using all her newfound might, she swings the heavy weapon around before letting it fly across the room and into the television set where Petra, Jesse and Lukas are watching a rom-com. The hammer barely misses Lukas's blonde hair before exploding into the set. "No more TV! From now on, we're reading books! You understand?" She whips out a few children's tales and hands them to the stunned friends who have no idea what to say, do or think.
"Books?" Aiden asks, walking into the room with an orange that makes Hadrian flinch out of his socks! "I like books. I just finished writing mine. It's called 'A Jestra Story'." He says, gaining stunned glares from everyone in the room.
"Wow. Just… wow." Axel says, turning back to face a videogame.
"Seriously? Everyone ships Jestra, Aiden. EVERYONE!" Olivia yells. "You need to get creative with your writing."
"NOOOO!" Ivor, Ellie, Hadrian and Gill scream while Cassie pouts.
"Why not? Isn't creativity a goo—"
"No! It is most definitely NOT a good thing!" Hadrian, leader of the Old Builders, declares. Jesse gasps.
"But, Hadrian! You're so creative and—"
"Leave me ALONE, Jessica!" He shouts, making Jesse feel confused.
"But I'm Jesse. How do I get mixed up with her over there?" Jesse whines.
"Easy. You both look the same." Jessica and Jesse both exchange glances. "No one should have the right to be creative! And, for your own sake, don't ask me why!" He says, though Jesse makes the random note that Hadrian really reminds him of Kernel Sanders from KFC. Hadrian backs off of Jesse, straightening his tie before declaring with a loud, profound voice, "Otto, please be a gentleman and walk me to my bedroom. Mevia, make sure no one turns off any of the lights." He says. Everyone gives both of them creeped out guffaws before Otto reluctantly stands to walk Hadrian off. But when Otto gets close to Hadrian, Hadrian grabs his arm, almost cowering behind him.
"If anything happens to me, you're FIRED." Hadrian hisses into Otto's ear. Otto makes the random note that Hadrian suddenly sounds a lot like Benson of "The Regular Show".
Mevia and Harper eye them as they leave. "Owkayy… what happened to Hadrian? I haven't seen him this scared since…." She and Harper glance at Cassie who is too absorbed in watching the other DHMIS episodes on her iBlock to notice.
Ellegaard breaks the silence with a nervous laugh.
"So… who wants to have a close-proximity sleepover in my room tonight with all the lights in the house turned on and soft music playing in the background and weapons of all sorts to keep us safe from puppets?" She shudders as she says the word.
"Ellegaard…? I'm not even gonna..." Magnus stands up and leaves the room, running a hand over his shiny, sweaty, bald head. Ellegaard continues glancing around the room in hopes of a volunteer, but to her dismay all she is returned are guffaws of disgust. If only they knew….
"I'd like to come to that sleepover." Ivor finally admits.
"Me, as well!" Hadrian shouts from the bathroom. Jessica, who's gotten the wrong message, screams and throws a pan at Aiden who crumples to the ground, screaming like a girl.
"WHY YOU DO DIS TO ME?!" He shrieks.
"IVOR, HADRIAN, WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STIIIX?!" Jessica screams.
"No! Noo!" Ivor shouts, throwing his hands up in the air. "It's not that kind of a sleepover! You'd only understand if you'd watch… um…." Sweat starts to fall down his face as he starts trembling like a caffeinated Chihuahua! "I'd rather not mention the name."
"It's 'Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'," Cassie says, "And I don't see why you're so afraid of it!" She adds, starting to do a digital dancing. Do a digital dancing. Do a digital dancing. Do a digital dancing. Hey, this is fun! Do a digital dancing. Do a digital dancing. Do a digital dancing. Do a digi—
"STAAAAAAPH!" Ivor, having completely lost his marbles, disappears into his cloak, having gone to his ultimate happy-place. Of course, this is to the confusion and dismay of all others.
"I've never seen him do that before." Gabriel says, getting a nod from Ellie and Soren. Jessica throws another frying pan at Aiden, who was just starting to get his bearings.
"Well, I'm done for the day." She says, walking out of the room and making sure to step on Aiden's hands.
Author's Note:
Crisper: I hope you guys enjoyed that episode! Also, Gamer's doing a lot better since looking at that video.
Me: Yeah. Actually, I watched it again, and it isn't so bad after the first week. So, we're good! Man, that show's messed up. Ocelott basically makes up my own reaction to it at first, thinking the blood was chocolate and the puppets were like the Muppets. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this! Peace out! Close it, Crisper!
Crisper: (closes it)
