Disclaimer. I hope you are all looking at my clues. I don't want to have put them there for nothing. And, on an off note, I really don't like this new font... Also, because I didn't put anything like this in the former chapters, I want to put something in here, so you can pick out possible sabotage! I put the bold, italic, and underlined part in here so you can base the foods off of it, like, if you think they are making stuff up. I can't have nothing! It's sort of like the robbery game. I didn't have anything, so in the next chapter, I summed up the robberies. :D Oh, and if no one realized, the players went back to Yoshi's island for this episode. They only left for the Kart challenge, and then, the next episode, they came back. Hey! I just realized! I spell some tings the British way, but I'm American! Huh! This might be one of my longer chapters, because I'm definitely going to finish this challenge, and introduce the next one.
Pandamonium: ... IMPOSTER! *shoots everywhere* *is shot* Well, anyway, if you remember, Toadette and Kooper ARE in a coalition, and he didn't reveal the EXACT clue he thinks he misinterpreted so... KITTY! As for the challenge, yes it is confusing, but it's most like a challenge in the Aus. season 1, episode three. A challenge called The Imposters is just like it. I had writers block, and couldn't think of challenges, so I used that instead. I just changed the taste tests. *meows* Mew.
Toady: *shot* I meant to put Starlow in the Juicy Fresh Juicers... I accidently put Shilo... NO CLUE THERE! *dies* ANYWAY! I'm not going to say anything about Iggy's line! :D And for Pauline, I haven't said who it was, but if it is, why does SHILO recognize her. He's not an adventurer, and he hasn't adventured with Mario, so why would he know her? Though, because of her un-named-ness, it could be... *cackles* But I like your ideas about both things! They are very though out... You do make a good Mole player. :D XD I had this dream, and the executed players could take the quiz, and whoever got the highest, got back in the game... I won. *shot* God I wish.
Awww, Cupcakes!
Toadette suddenly laughed, "Hey! Look at the trays on the Buzzies backs! They look funny!"
A small Buzzie approached DK, and he had a small cap on it, which said On Stage Producer like the caps the other Buzzies had on, the players noticed. He had a box on his back full of small tablets, only about hand sized. He started talking to DK. Everyone paid no attention, assuming it was Mole business stuff. They all backed away from the other three Buzzies, and got eye level. The various foods lined up, making somewhat of a city skyline on the Buzzies backs. Iggy smirked, "Heh... It looks like a building of some sort."
Kooper's face lit up, "Like a moving castle! Cause it's floating! Ha!"
A small chorus or laughter went up. By now, the surrounding table had gotten used to the laughter, and didn't even look. Starlow nodded, "Well, other than the moving castle, let's get to the tasting.
Shilo walked up to the table with the juice. Starlow quickly stopped him, "WAIT!"
Shilo jumped back, and looked at her, "What!?"
Starlow closed her eyes, "Well, we don't want to rush this. How bout we have the Bread try their food first, and then the Juice and then the Cheese? It'll help me epically, because I have to taste two, and I don't want my taste buds to be all messed up."
Shilo shrugged, "Well, I guess... But... Actually, never mind."
Starlow nodded, "So, the Bakery people, or more, me and Bombette, will try the bread now. Come on."
Bombette slid up to the table, but was interrupted by DK, "Ok, actually, before everyone starts eating, or whatever schedule was made up, the producers have actually just sent me a quick survey. While I pass these tablets out, which have the survey on them, please think about the question, 'Other than you, who are the three most deserving people, who would be willing to take it, of an exemption?'"
Quickly, people grabbed tablets, and the player's names were listed down the tablet, and they could each pick three. Finally, everyone was done, and the Buzzie with the box took the surveys; Bombette and Starlow sat at one end of the table, while everyone else sat opposite of them. Bombette took up the knife, and cut two thin slices, of a dark brown loaf, slightly like a rounded square. Starlow took one, and Bombette took the others. They both took a bite, and Starlow shook her head, "No, this isn't it. Too grainy."
Bombette shook her head, "But it might be. Remember? The tour guide said..."
The Rex Tour guide smiled, "So, in a majority of Yoshi's Island bread, is a sort of rough grain. This land isn't made for supporting grains or the sort, and since Yoshi's Island is not a nation that is high on imports and exports, they only use the rough grain grown. Therefore, most of the bread is a darker brown, to a honey coloured brown. Most of these grains are a sweeter grain, types that have branched off of non-edible sweet grains naturally over the centuries. They are more used to the climate of Yoshi's island, and the other grains, white grains, are not, thus not letting them grow. Also, because of Yoshi's Island proud heritage, being the home of some unique species, not found anywhere else, such as the Yoshi itself, most of the loaves are made in fruit related shapes, such as the watermelon, Yoshi's favorite fruit.
Starlow reluctantly nodded, "Well, I guess... I mean, it's is dark, and it is a vaguely round oval shape, like a watermelon..."
Bombette nodded, "Yes! I told you! So, how about the next one?"
While they had been discussing, DK had sliced the other two loaves, and the two of them grabbed a piece from loaf number two, a light, toasty brown, almost honey coloured. It was shaped like a small diamond. Bombette, before she tasted it frowned, "This isn't it. It's not shaped right, or the right colour."
Starlow shook her head, "No, it might be. Right, it's the wrong colour, but the shape can vary. She only said that it is fruit shaped MOST OF THE TIME. Remember?"
Bombette shook her head, "No! It's definitely not!"
Starlow frowned, but nodded reluctantly. They both took bites, finally finishing it off. Bombette grimaced, "It was too sweet. Like, one of the mainland loaves, ones where they add honey as an ingredient."
Starlow looked at her strangely, "But... B-b-but... They said... They said the rougher grains were sweeter!"
Bombette shook her head, "I know, but this is too sweet, like, 'I just added a pound of sugar into this,' sweet. I don't ever remember the guide saying that they put sugar or honey or anything into the bread."
Starlow sighed, "No, I still say it is..."
Bombette glared at her, "NO! I'm telling you, IT IS NOT THE RIGHT LOAF!"
Starlow shook her head, but before she could talk, Bombette told DK, "WE DON'T PICK THIS ONE! DON'T LISTEN TO STARLOW!"
Starlow just sighed. Finally they took the third slice. It was from a coffee brown loaf, which was a nice plump round shape. It was sweet smelling, but didn't feel as grainy in their hands. Munching, Starlow nodded, "You know, I'm going to guess this is it. It's not too grainy, almost not at all. But still, right colour, and right shape. What do you think? And, you say it isn't the other one, which I still think it is..."
Bombette nodded, "Most definitely! Not the other two! I think it's this one. DK?"
DK nodded, "I will not tell you, but wait until this is done. So, next up is the Juice people I believe?"
Kooper nodded, and Toadette smiled, "I think we should go by the lines the others did, you know, try one at a time. Or, we could all try one, and describe one!"
Kooper looked wary, "Well, if we all try..."
Starlow shrugged, "Well, considering I've already tasted the Bread, I think we should only do one... I probably should have though out the schedule more..."
Kooper shrugged, "Well, I guess... So, who'll take what juice...?"
The young Toad smiled, "So, in this part of Dino Land, namely Yoshi's Island, the juices aren't very strong. We don't have soil made for supporting fruit, mainly grains, and other crop bearing plants like grain. Also, since Yoshi's Island doesn't rely heavily on imports, we do not have too many fruits in general. I know that probably surprises most of you, since fruit is one a favorite Yoshi food. But a majority of the fruits that are eaten, are grown on nearby islands, and taken over here once a year. They are not kept for juice, since juice isn't a priority, if they can get the fruit fresh picked. But normally, the juice is a light colour, and not too sweet. It's mixed with water, to preserve what fruit the factories do have. It's always made fresh, never made with preserves, or artificial flavors. Yoshi's Island prides itself on it organic food. It normally grape juice, apple juice, or orange juice, the three main juice fruits. But, if it does happen to be pure juice, it is very sweet, and very rich in colour. This juice is normally used to celebrate festivities, such a birthdays and anniversaries.
Kooper looked around, and Toadette sighed, "Ummm, I'll take the light purple one. It looks like a Yoshi's Island one."
Starlow smiled, "I'll take the medium orange one."
Kooper nodded, "That leaves me with the dark red one! Bottoms up!"
All three of them, took the glasses and tipped some of the contents into their mouths. Kooper and Toadette gagged violently, and Starlow smiled. Toadette threw the glass to the edge of the table, shattering it. The contests spilled all over as the glass broke into pieces. She immediately ran away, right to the bathroom. Kooper turned around to wash out his mouth, accidently stepped on a larger piece of glass, which dug into his foot, swore, dropped his glass, once again, shattering, and limped over to the bathrooms, to pull it out. DK just stared, and Peach crouched down, and picked up the glass. Soon, a restaurant attendant came over, and started helping to wipe the juice up. Bombette paused, the stated, "That was interesting..."
Toadette came back, "Oh, god! Does anyone have a breath mint!?"
Peach stood up, and gave her a small mint from her pocket, "Heh, it was from the front desk. I snagged it on the way in..."
Everyone started at her like she was joking. She frowned, "What!? I like them! It's not illegal or anything!"
Iggy shrugged, "I guess... Toadette, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!? NOW WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO RETASTE THE JUICE OR ANYTHING! WHAT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JUICE!? NOW YOU CAN'T RETASTE IT!"
Toadette backed away, "I'm sorry, it was just way to sweet, like someone poured a pound of sugar into it..."
Iggy back down, but was still seething. Kooper soon limped back, a bandage around his foot, and a crutch under one arm. Everyone looked at him and Iggy spoke up, "Did it seriously?"
Kooper nodded as he limped/used his crutch to go over. Iggy sighed and shook his head. Peach looked really worried and DK furrowed his eyebrows. Finally, Starlow looked up, "Well, what happened Kooper?"
Kooper was about to talk, but Iggy interrupted, "Well, as you all know, Koopas have very thick skin, to protect them from harm when they like, go into their shells, and launch themselves. But, because of that, the inner parts and stuff such a muscle and bone, are not as strong. When Kooper stepped on the glass, it most likely pierced his muscle in his foot."
Kooper nodded, "Yeah, that's what happened. I have no doubt you've done that before Iggy?"
Iggy nodded. Kooper continued, "Before any of you ask, which I saw that coming Starlow, I got the bandage from the producers. They intercepted me on the way to the bathroom, just in case something like this happened."
The players nodded. Again Iggy yelled at Kooper. Kooper sighed, "Well, It was tomato juice."
The players also started this time, "WHAT!?"
DK smiled, "OK, so I will say this for once. It is true that Kooper's was tomato juice. It may look too light red, but the fruits and veggies are not well supported in this soil, so they watered it down!"
Kooper nodded, "Well, I guess that rules that one out."
Everyone nodded and Toadette sighed, "Well, based on what I have, it can't be mine either."
Kooper shrugged, "So I guess it's Starlow's?"
Toadette nodded, "I guess."
Starlow nodded, "Yeah, probably. Mine isn't too sweet, and is definitely orange juice. But it's definitely watered down, typical of Yoshi's island, yeah?"
Iggy picked up the bottom of Kooper's glass, which wasn't fully shattered and tasted it, "Yeah, tomato juice."
He also picked up Toadette's, though, it didn't have enough to have an accurate taste test, "Wait a second, this is really good! It's not that sweet!"
Toadette shook her head, "I think it is. Remember, I was raised in Toad Town, and we really don't have juice that sweet. It's more of an expensive luxury, so I'm not used to it."
Iggy looked at her skeptically. Toadette slunk back to her seat and sat down. DK nodded and took note of the real or not juice. He looked up, "Well, the cheese tasters are next!"
The three of them walked up to the cheese boards, three marble slabs each with a wire cutter, and a hunk of cheese on top. The three of them all took a piece and started eating.
The Birdo, tour guide at the cheese factory smiled, "Ok! So, the cheese normally produced here at Yoshi's island is normally sharp. The milk used, and the ingredient used to MAKE it, chemically react, and make a sharp cheese, no matter how young or aged it is. Though, normally, the cheese here is aged for a few years, making it EXTREAMLY sharp. Though, when you get a non-sharp cheese, it is very soft, similar to mozzarella. It is normally very smooth, and can also be like Brie cheese, but still has a bite to it. But normally it is very sharp."
Iggy smiled, "You know, I think it's this one. It has a very smooth texture, but still has bite. Any objections?"
Peach shook her head, "No, mine crumbled in my hands, and when I tasted it, it wasn't sharp at all. More of a blue cheese. One of my favorites, probably from my Kingdom. I have it in salads all the time."
But Shilo spoke up, "No, mine is VERY sharp. Like, 'Gasp! This is sharp! Gag gag gag...' Sharp."
Peach nodded, "Ok, then It's not Iggy's. It's yours."
Iggy nodded, "Well, let me see a piece, and you try a piece of my cheese."
Shilo nodded, "K!"
They both cut off a piece, and handed to the other. Peach cut of a bit of cheese from both of them. Soon, they had eaten the cheese. Iggy frowned, "I still think it's mine. Yours isn't sharp enough. Not year or two aged at least. Hmmm?"
Peach shook her head, "Nope, now I think it's Iggy's again."
Shilo shrugged, "I don't know. I can't decide. You two decide. And would you just make up your mind Peach?"
He went and sat down. Peach frowned, "But, you've cheese tasted before, right? You should help!"
Shilo just shook his head, "Nope. No can do. I can't decide. I'm useless."
Peach tasted Shilo's cheese once more, "Nah, this is the one. Not Iggy's. I'm voting Shilo's."
Iggy sighed, "No, it's mine. I would know. You're just guessi- Actually, I just think it's mine. I bet it is. Seriously. We'll lose the money if you don't go with mine."
But then Peach tasted the soft cheese that was Iggy's, "Hey, actually I think it's this one."
Kooper growled, "Would you just make up your mind!"
Bombette nodded, "Yeah! You're just confusing all of us! I can't even tell what's happening any more!"
Finally, they picked Iggy's cheese. Shilo shook his head, "No, probably not that one. I still think it's mine."
Peach grimaced, "I though you weren't helping?"
Shilo shrugged, earning a frown from the rest of the players, "Well, I'm not. It's just what I think. I don't know, and can't point anything out though."
Peach looked at him, and said back to DK, "Well, we still chose this one..."
DK nodded, "So, would any of you like to know the results?"
There was a chorus of positive answers, and some of them were yelling for the results. DK smiled, "I'm sorry," everyone was silenced, "but you did not earn the 20,000 dollars."
There were sighs, whining, and some expected anger. The Mole, though, on the inside, they were cheering.
DK continued, "Unfortunately, you only got one of the items correct. That was the cheeses, the softer cheese was the one from here. The bread, curiously enough, was the one Bombette kept on denying, strongly against, if you will. And for the juices, Toadette had the correct juice, but before the others could get an accurate description, she threw the cup down, not letting anyone really taste it. Also, Shilo refused, to help, the only time he did, was when he was trying to get the people to pick the wrong cheese. And Kooper, who stepped on the glass, didn't even bother to put the glass on the table, not letting the others taste that as well! And Peach, with her changing her decision, and confusing the rest of us! And how about Iggy? He insisted his was the right cheese. He even said he knew it was his! Of course then there was Starlow, innocent, only in the background, trying to get people to stay focused. Perfect guise for the Mole, no? But only one of you was doing this because you were the Mole, yet all of you were suspicious. You lost the money for this challenge, but this is where the fun begins and every starts to point fingers..."
Suddenly waiters brought out a small feast, turkey, chicken, greens of all sorts, fruit, vegetables, bread, wine, water and milk, nothing short of fantastic after the hectic suspicion of last challenge. Finally when everyone was done, the desert was brought out. Pot du Crème, Tiramisu, cake and cupcakes, Baklava, and many other sweets. DK smiled, "Well, there is enough cupcakes for everyone! Each person gets one."
People started passing them around, finally when there were only three left, Toadette, Shilo and Kooper, Toadette got them first. She looked at Kooper, stared at the cupcakes, each with a small flag, one green one red and only blue, and then back at Shilo. She thought for a moment then said, "Here, take the red one. Give the green one to Shilo."
Kooper looked at her and questioningly nodded, "Okay?"
He passed the last one down, and Toadette smiled. Finally, everyone was done, and went back into their rooms. Kooper and Toadette immediately turned out the lights, Peach and Iggy, played a small round of Mario Party in Iggy's room, Bombette read Murder on the Orient Express, but Agatha Chauncey, and Starlow watch the Party going on, and Shilo laid down. Suddenly there was a small click and the door opened. DK a producer and a camera man walked in. The producer, who was a Yoshi, smiled, "Well, we have been informed you received the green flagged cupcake, the colour of an exemption. Is that right?"
Shilo frowned and nodded. The producers continued, "Well, we have a small challenge for you. You simply have to lure someone out of their room, against the rules, to your room, and you will win an exemption. You will lose 5,000 from the pot, though, because this is a violation of rules. Are you game?"
Shilo suddenly realized what was going on and smiled evilly, "Oh defiantly. Mole or no Mole, losing the money is always worth the exemption..."
So! Shilo is game for an exemption, and will try to get it! The players failed epically at the taste test challenge, which I call Day Trained Professionals. Not to mention, everyone was suspicious in that challenge! Well! More words than I thought, but easy to type! Oh, and I'm back from Florida! So Happy Mole Hunting and please review! ~ Shilo Burbans
