I lost inspiration about halfway through, and then deleted everything. Then I started again. It was bad, and deleted. Repeat maybe... Three more times I think, and then I was done! Guess what? I just added a challenge. Literally. JUST. *dies*
Toady: This will be long. I don't have much to say about your Ch. 20 review, other than yes, the least suspicious ones have all but disappeared...And also, addressing Toadette: 1 She the Mole, and gave the exemption to Shilo cause she didn't need it, and he did, and doesn't suspect her. Also she could have wanted to lay suspicion on him. 2 She's not the Mole and wants people to wrongly suspect him. She might not suspect him, and think he's an innocent player, so she lays suspicion on him, and people then self-execute more or less... But it might not be either, and Toadette might just have done it on accident. Eh. Oh well. You'll find out later! Skipping 21. Yes, I did like writing Bombette's fight scene. I don't get to write out swears much, so that was really funny. And I'm kind of fashion oriented, so I had to do that. Just had to. And yes, that is quite obvious why you don't suspect her. I would actually be kind of worried if you did after that. XD I mean, she literally saved the team there. I won't say anything about the suspicions... I'll leave them to you to prove and disprove. And yes. I had been actually meaning to keep her in for a while, but then when people didn't really like her, other than Light over there, though it was already decided she would be eliminated 4th, I decided to execute her early. But now that most of the innocent character are gone, but only one of them is the Mole, won't it be surprising when someone is executed. (Unless it's like, Peach or Kooper, cause they aren't on your list. Doh.) And maybe that's the clue. Maybe not. *shrug* You'll have to wait to find out! :D And yes, the Kong Crew (OMG That is the best nickname ever. I will be using it everywhere! *starts freaking out*) ANYWHO! And yes. It's a little unnerving on how you can't find the clues... But now that you've been a Mole, you should find them better! *shot for stupid logic* XD But you don't know how many are out there... For all you know, I might only have as many as US S1 did! XD that was like, three clues in all! I'm still trying to find the pages in the Mole's dossier on your page... I found like, four, I think. Yay. And that's pretty much it! The words are too many!
Panda(monium): We'll, I'll be looking forward to your reviews when you get back! (By the time this is published, you'll probably already be back, da~?) *shot* And yes I have actually read all of Kris' stories pretty much. And I've read Festive Saboteur, by Princess Toady, and The Pokemon/Digimon one, though I can't remember who wrote it. So yes, I did have to change some of the challenges, so that is wasn't too much like it. But it was heavily based off of that.
Plasmic: Yes, it could. It could also be a red herring. Or it might be a clue. Hehehehe...
1,2,3 Questions
Iggy's hand shot up in the air, "I can do it! I'll sacrifice! Doesn't matter what I have to sacrifice, but I'll get the job done!"
Shilo nodded, "I'm in on the team too. I've sacrificed a coalition, and money. Why don't I sacrifice something good now, and help the team."
Kooper put a hand up, "No. Iggy, I don't like how enthusiastic you are about this. And Shilo, no one trust you, except you're coalition partner. And they might not trust you either."
Shilo and Bombette quickly looked at each other, but Bombette just smiled reassuringly. Suddenly Toadette smiled, "How about Kooper sacrifices!"
Kooper started, "Wait what?! No, I don't sa-"
He was cut short as Iggy interrupted him, ""Actually, yeah, that's a good idea! I like it!"
Shilo nodded, "I personally think that he'll do well in the upcoming challenge."
Kooper now was helplessly looking around, "But... I can't sacrifice... I'll just end up losing the challenge..."
DK shrugged, "Well, unfortunately, this seems like one you can't get out of Kooper. I need two more people."
Kooper just glanced around and went over to DK. Suddenly Peach spoke up, "Actually, I'm going to nominate myself. I may seem like a spoiled rich princess, but I'm not. I only have what I need, plus my royal dress. I could seriously help with this. I could win the money."
Bombette just looked at her, "Well, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what if something like... I don't know..."
Toadette smiled, "What if relatives were to be invited onto the show? And you sacrifice have to sacrifice your visit with them, to win the money?"
A silence was swept over everyone, player and production crew alike. Slowly Kooper asked, "What makes you say that? It was very in-depth... I seriously won't be able to sacrifice anything if that's the challenge..."
Toadette just smiled and giggled. Everyone stared at her.
Kooper: Okay, if that really is what we're sacrificing, I will just kill Toadette for nominating me. That and imma vote for her on the quiz! I mean seriously, if she's not the Mole, then she has found some way to hack into the producers database...
Iggy: Okay, this is minorly unsettling, to have someone you don't suspect know something they shouldn't... I mean, how could she have known that?! Maybe I should spilt some of my quiz to her... Maybe not. I just don't know! God!
Kooper started, "Uh, well guys, if that really is-"
And he was cut off as the other started to discuss who else would go with him. He just sighed. Peach smiled, "I still say we pick me. I can sacrifice."
Toadette shook her head, "No, not good enough..."
But Bombette smiled, "Yeah! You'll do wonderfully in the challenge!"
Iggy shrugged, "Well, I only find it fair that she goes, so that I have a partner in the challenge to tell me what goes on."
Peach: Ok, what he just said there, that is what makes me reluctant to use him... I mean, he TRUSTS me! Ahhh... God what'll I dooo...? I'm not going to tell him everything, but just some of the stuff!
Then Toadette got a slightly confused look on her face, and was suddenly silenced. Everyone momentarily looked at her, and then started discussing the last sacrificing player. Iggy nodded, "I think that Bombette should go. She's more of a reliable player than Shilo."
Shilo frowned, "If I don't go, you'll end up with a penalty tonight. I'll be out of my room tonight. I might do it more, possibly until I'm eliminated."
Peach just looked at him, "Wait, what?"
Shilo smiled, this time more confident, "If I'm not in this challenge, then I will, from now on, receive a penalty for being out of bed past curfew, every night. You would be losing money by the thousands."
Toadette now whipped out her notebook, still not paying attention to anything around her. Iggy frowned, "Wait, so now you're blackmailing us so that you are in the challenge?"
Shilo nodded. Bombette turned to DK skeptically, but he just smiled, "No, Shilo's not breaking the rules. The only rule infringement here is the curfew one he's threatening you with."
Peach frowned, "Well, I guess..."
Shilo smiled, and walked over to DK, who smiled, "Okay, so you three players will follow me."
The three of them left, and DK motioned for them to just wait a moment, outside of the door. He turned back to the last three contestants, "I'll have Bee here, my cohost from the hostage challenge, explain to you what you three will be doing while the sacrificing players are out."
He then left and caught up to the other three, "If you'll follow me please?"
Finally, DK arrived at a small cottage, in the middle of a small grove of peach trees, "Okay players, if you would please enter the cottage?"
As they went in, they noticed something odd. The only pieces of furniture in the single room house, were three large, human sized birdcages hanging from the ceiling. Peach frowned, "And I'm assuming these have something to do with the challenge?"
DK nodded, "Yes they do, if you will climb into them please? One person per cage!"
As the three of them finally climbed into the cages, DK started to explain the challenge, "Okay. This challenge we like to call, Key To Your Heart. Later on today, there will be a... you know what. Hell, I'm not explaining. It's what Toadette said. Note, I don't know who is the Mole, so I have no clue how she knew that. Later today, there will be a challenge where you can be with your relative. Then, is you stay here, and get not relative visit, like Toadette said, you will earn 60,000 dollars. If even one of you exits, then you don't get anything. But once one of you is out, DON'T UNLOCK THE OTHERS. You have to stay in the cages until the relative challenge is done."
DK walked out, and left the other to wait.
Peach: Well, I can do this. I want to win the money for this. Now, I know, "Hey Princess, you ARE rich right? Let someone else have the money!" And yes, I do have money. Lots, of money. But not enough to really spend an overly large amount. I do have a lot of people working under me, like cooks, and butlers, and stuff. If I win this, undoubtedly I will donate it to some charity, like The Mushroom Children's Hospital.
Kooper: Oh, god... I'm not going to be able to do this. I never wanted to be here in the first place, and I want to see whoever is coming onto the show to visit me! Ahhh... I want the money, but I want the one close to me... Is it too much to ask both? Unfortunately, yes. Yes it is.
Shilo: Well then. I didn't really want it to come to this, but I can tell people suspect me. I want the money, in case I win, but I have my reputation as the "Mole" to keep up... Ahhh well... I'll just try to get out. Then, it'll work both ways! I mean, seriously. We already have a substantial amount of money.
Shilo furrowed his eyebrows. Peach just smiled and closed her eyes, humming a tune to herself. Kooper pursed his lips, not wanting to be in this situation in the first place. Shilo sighed, thinking that this wouldn't go well for him. Peach just sat there, intent to win the money. Kooper stuck his tongue out, "Now what?"
Bee smiled at the contestants, "You all remember me. So, for the next challenge, something we call 1,2,3, Questions, you three will be split into two teams, one of one and one of two. You all will get a turn at being sequestered into the single group. The single person will then answer three questions. The answers will be one of the other two players playing this question game. Then, they will be brought to a hiding place. The other players will then be brought to a starting place, and answer one of the questions the single player was asked. If they chose A person, they will go left. B, and they go right. You will have to get all three questions right to gain the money. For each person found, 10,000 coins are earned, making this worth 30,000 in total. Any question?"
When no one responded Bee smiled, "Well, who would like to be sequestered first?"
Iggy raised his hand first, and Bee smiled, "When DK gets back, just follow me."
They waited a moment or two, and DK arrived, "So, who is being sequestered first?"
Iggy smiled and DK nodded, "So, Toadette, Bombette, you two follow me, going to the left, while Bee and Iggy take the right route."
DK smiled, and held open the door, and the players went out the door, not aware of the havoc waiting to break out because of this challenge.
Yeah, not as long of a "Hiatus" as I thought it would be. I WAS planning on outlining the final four's strategies, and stuff. But I trashed that idea. I've literally been think about them for the past like, year, so the strategies and stuff is pretty much plastered in my brain already. XD And if you know what challenge I'm starting, then you know the havoc that is about to be unfurled. Or can be, depending on what questions I ask. Also, that is the challenge I just added. I didn't have it in the final three, and really wanted it in here. So I put it in this episode. Kind of an odd placement, and probably never done before, but whatever. So please review, thanks for reading, and Happy Mole Hunting! ~ Shilo Burbans
