Korpse's Earrings: Boos from Mario
This episode, we travel to one spooky hospital!
At least it ain't Brookhaven Hospital, right?
Chris is on the dock, with the cottage behind him. The stars were shining in the sky above him, as he flashed his signature grin.
"Last time, on GvsP… Hurricane Fosley came to the island, and despite our best efforts, we lost the campers! But thankfully for us, me, and them, they managed to find each other, and ride out the storm. But that wasn't all; earthquakes ravaged the entire island, eventually leading it to crumble underneath the contestant's feet. But had not been for their quick thinking… I shudder to think what could have happened… But the wonderful town of Poutine Shores invited us to continue the game in their town, so continue the game we shall!"
"Now, what shall happen tonight? With the aftermath of yesterday behind them, will the campers give it their best at the challenge? And who will be the next one voted off? Find out right here, on…"
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Geeks VS. Populars!"
(Cue I Wanna Be Famous. The intro changed to reflect things happening in the cottage.)
It was the middle of the night, and everyone was in their beds, currently in dreamland.
But for one Pokemaniac, she was in a rather… normal dream for her.
Verna was floating in the middle of an ocean, on the top of a Snorlax using Surf, as she was quietly chatting with what appeared to be a Lapras.
"I… don't quite understand, Lapras..." Verna said to the majestic Pokemon. "How can I even continue this game, with everything that has happened to me so far?"
"You're a truly strong woman, Verna. You're more stronger than you think." The Lapras replied back telepathically.
"Still, I cried… And I only let out a small sad sniffle when Emmy the Hypno died in that Nuzlocke comic I was reading." Verna admitted. "F*****g Blue and his Gyrados..."
"Man, that Blue can be a huge-" Lapras started to say, as…
"Lapras, yikes! No need to go that far!" Verna reprimanded.
"Like I would ever say that." Lapras chuckled telepathically. "In either case… Being you entered the game as your typical High School movie antagonist, why not try being yourself for the rest of the game?"
"Be… myself?" Verna asked.
"Yes… In my eyes, you're truly a kind-hearted fan of… Well, who else would be talking to you right now?" Lapras questioned back.
"Well, that's true..." Verna giggled back.
"That, and you do love your little brother." Lapras continued.
"Yeah… I do." Verna smiled back. "Heck, had not been for his smarts… How else could I sneak in a game or two while I was Steph's lackey?"
"In either case… Good luck, Verna. And play safe..." Lapras finished, as she started to swim off into the distance, with Verna watching…
"What a nice mon..." Verna smiled warmly, as she could feel it getting more colder.
"Lax?" The Snorlax questioned in its native tongue.
"Yeah, it's getting awfully chilly..." Verna replied back, as she looked up at the sky.
What appeared to be a giant blue bird was leering down at Verna, as it inhaled, and shot out a pure-white beam at the 'trainer'…
Verna gulped in fear. "Oh, popcorn..."
Verna woke up, having been impacted by the beam in her dream, as she looked around the room. She then looked down at what appeared to be a pillow on the floor, clearly lobbed at her.
"Yeesh, who tried waking me up this early?" Verna questioned.
"Well… Guess the Pokemaniac isn't a morning person..."
Verna sighed. She knew that voice far too well.
"Steph? What brings you to my room this early in the morning?" Verna asked out loud.
"Oh, just thought we would have a little… alone time." Steph replied back. "Your precious Mozart ain't around, after what I done."
Verna glared at the Gossip Girl. "What did you do to my friend?"
"Well… He's just getting reacquainted to a special… porcelain throne." Steph answered back.
At the bathroom, Mozart was sitting on the toilet, as he was moaning and clenching his stomach in pain.
Oww… That's the last time I trust an innocent slice of cheese pizza covered with Fruit Loops…" Mozart winced in pain.
Verna reached into Woodstock's cage, and pulled out the pet rat.
"You better watch it with my friends; I got a rat, and I ain't afraid to use it!" Verna declared, holding Woodstock out, as the rat gave Verna a look of confusion.
"Oh, relax; I'm just saying that I… Don't have much of a use to you anymore." Steph replied back. "With you as part of the Geeks, how else could I blackmail you?"
Verna carefully put Woodstock back in his cage and looked at Steph.
"I'm still keeping an eye on you. You may have bossed me around, but let's see how you can handle it if you push someone's buttons long enough..." Verna sneered.
"Pfft, like that'll ever happen. Now, if you'll excuse me, I got some breakfast to get to. Ciao!" Steph smirked, as she made her leave.
Verna glared at the door leading outside.
"Ugh, that Steph really makes my blood boil..." Verna grumbled.
PING!
Verna looked at the chair where GENKI was recharging, as GENKI opened her eyes.
"Goooooooodddd mooooorrrrnnnniiinnnngggg, Not-Vietnam!" GENKI announced out loud, as she noticed a peeved Verna. "Did GENKI reference a movie at a rather bad time?"
"Eh, it's all good; besides, it was best that me and the Queen of Mean didn't square off." Verna answered back.
"Leona Helmsley?" GENKI questioned.
"And if someone seances her over here, I got a few choice words for her." Verna answered back. "But for now… What should I do? I've more or less been known as what they call the Alpha Girl."
GENKI blinked at Verna. "I highly doubt you look like one, to be honest."
"Still… That dream Lapras did give me a bit of advice. Maybe it's time that I play as myself; just your usual normal Pokefan." Verna replied back.
"GENKI doesn't have a lot of Pokemon stuff in her database. So you're on your own here." GENKI said out loud.
"Eh, it's time that I gave myself a makeover of my own stead." Verna winked. "Which'll have to wait until after the challenge."
Confessional: I'll bring my make-over mix tape!
Verna: Yeeeeaaahhh, I kinda didn't buy any duds that truly suited me back on that ship after that random fear challenge thingy.
Steph: I'm just gonna lay low, and ease my way to the Merge… Easiest mil I'll ever make. But that doesn't mean I can't stop spreading rumors about the players, that be too easy.
With Cherri and Olivia, the two were busy getting dressed for the day, as Olivia grimaced at her duds.
"Something up, Olivia?" Cherri asked, concerned about her friend.
"Well… My duds suck." Olivia replied back. "Big time suck, at that. That, and I kinda lost those clip-on piercings and my spiked wristbands back on Amehurst. And it's kinda at the bottom of the ocean right now."
"Oh… So, you're stuck with your cutesy stuff?" Cherri questioned.
"Hey, don't blame me for wearing this cutesy crap! Blame my school and their quote-unquote dress code!" Olivia answered back. "Believe me, if it weren't for that bloody rule..."
"I see, had to dress in duds that didn't… Well, represent what you truly believed in, huh?" Cherri questioned.
"Yeppers… I much prefer black duds, anyway." Olivia answered back. "You think there may be some awesome duds in the cellar?"
"Most likely. Heck, with a cottage like this, there's bound to be something that just screams punk." Cherri replied back.
"And if not… Then we'll make it look punk!" Olivia declared. "If what Xantara did to Ron's clothes the other day was true..."
"Ah, the old dye trick; I gotchya." Cherri winked back.
Marissa was walking through the halls, eating what appeared to be a grilled cheese sandwich, at first glance. But in reality…
"Huh, who knew that Twiggy could combine eggs and bacon into a grilled cheese sammy?" Marissa questioned, as she ate the last of her breakfast.
Soon enough, one of the doors opened, as Ada and Nick walked out, the two holding each other's hands.
"I guess you two became the Pop's Cecil and Rosa last night, hm?" Marissa teased a bit, as she winked at the two.
"You bet, our frizzy haired competitor!" Ada replied back.
"There's no telling how long we made out." Nick added.
"Congrats!" Marissa said out loud, smiling gently. "How did you two realized you were made for each other?"
"Beats me; romance is kinda an odd feeling, to be honest." Ada shrugged. "Odd, but sweet at the same time."
"So, where's your Ellis?" Nick asked out loud.
"Well, he's currently doing a bit of laundry in the cellar." Marissa answered back. "Cause hey, if our equips gotta be cleaned, they might as well smell lavender fresh."
"Well, that's true." Ada agreed. "Still, look at us lot; in interracial relationships. We're truly proving one thing; love is love, no matter what gender we are, or what race we are."
"Exactly; there's me and Ada, Nelson and Korpse, you and Ellis..." Nick added.
"And hey, we always adored our adorkable buddies." Marissa winked at Ada. "So… What kinda moves did you make to reassure a relationship with Nick, Ada?"
"Well… Me and Kade kinda bought him out of his shell via music, then some other stuff happened. And last night, he kissed me on the lips, and… Well, things kinda got PG-13." Ada answered back.
"Best. Night. Ever." Nick grinned. "So, you wanna attempt to make out with Ellis?"
"Uh… Would I be rushing things? I kinda never made out with anybody, not even Mirian." Marissa answered back.
"But you still want to hook up with him, huh?" Ada asked.
"You betchya!" Marissa replied back. "Thou art found your loves, now it's my turn."
"And don't be afraid to make out; it all comes natural." Ada giggled.
Marissa nodded. "Well, I should head back to my room for now. See ya later, guys."
Marissa then left the two, as Nick looked at Ada.
"Hey, think we should teach Marissa some of the stuff you did last night?" Nick suggested.
Ada winked. "Wow, you're quite a kinky guy, huh?"
"Hey, after ditching your old political background behind, one tends to… Well, do a lotta stuff they wouldn't show on MSNBC." Nick admitted.
Confessional: That's true. All CNN does is cuddle.
Nick: Hey, until we get some kinda substitute to deliver the parties to here… Gotta do something.
Ada: Nothing like making out to the lovely sounds of EDM! Though in Marissa's case… Uhhhh… The soundtrack to some fantasy game that's final?
Marissa: Now… How to go about with increasing my Charisma Stat… Would that be a good idea in hooking up with Ellis?
In the Cellar, Ellis was busy washing his and Marissa's clothes.
"Man, who knew that a week and a half of island action could give off such a salty smell?" Ellis asked out loud.
He tossed the last of his clothes, and added the detergent, as he closed the washer and activated it, as he heard a couple of people talking to each other.
"Yeesh, what is this crap? What happened earlier this decade that caused everyone's duds to become… Boring?"
"Beats me..."
Ellis, being the curious type, walked over to where the two voices were coming from.
"Where's the black t-shirts at, anyway?!" Olivia complained. "Not even a plain old black one, at that! The shirts we found? They're just so dull and all that crap!"
"We just gotta dig even deeper, Olivia!" Cherri encouraged. "Even some of the most elusive bugs I know of live deep underground, and the same can be said for those t-shirts!"
"No wonder some species of ants are basement dwellers; with those wicked flies that have larvae that can eat the brains of ants..." Olivia said out loud.
Cherri blinked. "Wow… You're quite knowledgeable in entomology already."
"Hey, whenever I'm bored, I oftentimes watch insect programs on TV. Some of the ways they off themselves is sick and metal as F!" Olivia exclaimed.
"And you told me this now?" Cherri grinned.
"Hey, I was never informed." Olivia shrugged, as Ellis approached the two.
"Hey, girls; you doing okay?" Ellis asked out loud.
"Well, other than the fact that we can't find a single black t-shirt around this cottage..." Olivia answered, as she sighed. "Seriously, my kingdom to be able to punk out slightly.
"Well, being from what I learned, this used to be an old timey bed and breakfast. And I think seniors and highly religious folk stayed there. Mostly senior highly religious folk, coming from my knowledge." Ellis explained. "And knowing my deceased grandma, who was the most religious person I know of..."
"You mean there may not even be any black duds around here? Weak!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Unless it was for a funeral..." Cherri said out loud.
"That's TOO somber even for my tastes!" Olivia exclaimed.
GRRRROOOOWWWLLL…
The three looked at each other, spooked by the sudden noise.
"Olivia, please tell me that was your stomach..." Ellis asked.
"Not my fault this time; I'm all set for the day after eating 3 sausages stuffed with eggs!" Olivia answered back.
GROOOOOWWWWWLLLL…
The three looked at each other, and uneasily nodded, as they crept over to what was making the growling noise.
It appeared to be a radiator, with what appeared to be a weak fire in itself. It appeared to be alive.
"HELLLLLLOOOOOO, CAAAAAMMMPPPPEEEERRRRSSSS!"
Cherri blinked. "You get the feeling this came straight from a movie?"
"I do. I enjoyed it growing up!" Olivia exclaimed. "Other than that, how do we appease this guy?"
"Beats me; haunted heaters were never my forte." Ellis said out loud. "Anyone equipped with a cold beverage?"
Olivia grinned, as she reached behind her back and took out what appeared to be a glass of lemonade. "I guess Marissa's got you tied, huh?"
"Yep!" Ellis answered back with a grin.
Cherri blinked. "...Where did you get that glass of lemonade?"
"I honestly don't know; it was just lying next to my bed early this morning. Still cold, oddly enough. And the ice didn't melt." Olivia replied back.
"Should we offer it to the radiator?" Cherri suggested.
The radiator then closed its opening, as it started to shut off.
"Well… No reason to offer it the lemonade now." Cherri said out loud. "Other than that… You gonna drink that thing up? With those infinite icecubes..."
"Eh, I'm saving this beverage for a special occasion!" Olivia winked. "Cause who knows when I'll enjoy a glass of cool lemonade?"
"Right. Now, how about we continue the hunt for some black duds?" Cherri offered.
"And I can help out, as well! My clothes aren't done washing, so it'll be quite a while yet." Ellis said out loud.
Confessional: Well, that was a thing.
Olivia: In the end, we never did find some clothing suited for my musical tastes… Crud, is just one black shirt good enough to ask for?
Cherri: Welp… Looks like we're going shopping. I'm sure this town has some black duds for Olivia. I did score some sights on some rather cool and common arachnids on the cobwebs.
Ellis: The wonders of washing clothes, huh?
Sting was in the Dining Room, solemly looking down at his cereal, as someone approached him.
"Sting? Your aura shows off a lot of blue. More than I ever see from you… You doing okay?"
Sting looked up to see that Xantara was sitting in front of him, with a cup of tea. "Oh… Hey, Xantara… You can guess how okay I am by my aura, huh?"
"Yeah, no kidding..." Xantara said out loud, as she sipped some of her tea. "Now… What happened which caused you to go… Well, emo this morning? You're usually very cheerful..."
"Well, it's what happened last night." Sting replied back.
"Continue on..."
"I had a conversation with someone last night, and they mention about how true meanies got far in the game… Plus, I'm not sure what I'm even here for, other than to try to cheer up my friends back at home." Sting explained.
"Okay, then… I gotta ask something; what did you achieve so far in the contest?" Xantara asked.
"Well… So far, I've been a team player, and I met one of the cutest girls I know..." Sting answered, blushing slightly.
"That's true. Plus, we outlasted several people so far. We gained a lotta experience from all of this alone, and we've gained a lot of friends on here. Friends you can fight for, play for, and win for." Xantara reassured. "Sure, I only spoke mostly to Nelson and Ron, but still..."
"Yeah, we kicked total butt. And we shall continue to do so." Sting replied back, grinning.
"And I shall open up a lot more, be more than that New Age girl!" Xantara declared.
"Whoa, you're feeling feisty, today." Sting complimented.
"I'm kinda sick of being an UTRP. It's time to step up my game and be a… MORP!" Xantara announced.
"Dun-Dun-DUNNNNNNN!" Sting sang out loud. "I would use the actual soundbyte, but I don't think it's fair use."
"So… Being you're a MORP, have any pointers?" Xantara asked.
Sting sheepishly scratched his head. "I'm kinda more of a CPP, to be honest. Why not try asking… Uh, Cherri?"
"Great idea! Now, where are they?" Xantara asked.
"Well, from what I heard, both her and Olivia were trying to find some clothing so Olivia could look more punkish." Sting admitted.
"Then that's where I'll find them. Thanks, Sting." Xantara replied back.
"No… Thank you for getting me outta my funk." Sting commented.
Confessional: I appear every so often. So no dreaded INV for me!
Xantara: Well, I got Sting as a friend now. But I should start on befriending Cherri now. Someone tough like her? We're bound to get to the Merge together.
Sting: Xantara's quite the nice gal… How we never interacted with each other back on Amehurst, I'll never know.
In Drake and Stella's bedroom, Stella was finishing up dressing herself up as there was a knock on the door.
"Come in, it's open!" Stella sung out loud.
The door opened, as Drake walked in, holding a small bag.
"Got this for you..." Drake said out loud, presenting Stella the bag. "Who knew they were open this early?"
Stella reached into the bag, and pulled out a small box. She then opened the small box. Inside the box was a pair of star earrings, much like the ones Stella wore.
"Awwww, it's a replacement pair! Thank you!" Stella exclaimed, as she bought Drake in for a hug.
"Hey, you really enjoyed stars; that, and I did promise you a new pair." Drake replied back, as Stella separated. He seemed to not mind it that much. "Had an easy time finding them, too."
Stella smiled, as she put them on. "Wait, really?"
"Yeah, they said they were selling like hotcakes, thanks to… Well, us." Drake admitted.
"Wait, we unintentionally started a fad?" Stella questioned.
"I assume so." Drake answered back, as a thought hit him. "Think we should warn people not to get stars tattooed on their faces?"
"That would be a wise idea." Stella nodded back. "Besides… Who would be insane enough to do that, anyway? ...Besides my family?"
"...Or Olivia?" Drake asked back, as he reached into his bag and pulled out the drawing of Stella he got on Day 9. "She kinda drew you up the other day..."
Stella looked at the picture and blinked.
"Wow… That's excessive by a lot." Stella commented.
"Eh, I find you cute the way you are now." Drake complimented with a blush.
"Well, now that we're ready for the day, what should be our plan?" Stella asked.
"Beats me… Just try to win, and if we lose… We attempt to try to stay in the game." Drake answered back.
"So… Same old game, every day?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, most likely." Drake answered again.
Confessional: Especially if it was February 2nd, and Bill Murray was a contestant…
Stella: I didn't tell Drake, but… I hugged him by pure reflex… I really hope he isn't mad at me.
Drake: I got touched by Stella… -He blushes- For her, I'll allow that.
Meanwhile, in town, Nelson and Korpse were exploring the town a bit more.
"Man, there's a lotta places around town, it's easy enough to get lost." Nelson said out loud. "We got a candy store, an arcade..."
"Plus, not to mention the sections of the town." Korpse added, as she looked at a town map. "Aside of the cottage, there's also Poutine Shores' shopping district, the city park, the outskirts, the beach itself, Da Coventry, Green Clouds Industrial Section..."
"How come we didn't even notice those places the time we were here during the Truant Challenge?" Nelson asked.
"Beats me… But I think Green Clouds Industrial Section is one place we all would want to steer clear from for now." Korpse shivered as she pocketed the map. "If I know my gaming, that kinda place would house some real rough toughies. And I don't want to see my cute beau get maimed."
"I be FAR more concerned if there's a cheeseburger dinner waiting for us before a rather suspicious room." Nelson added. "Knowing our luck, it's more or less a sign that someone or something is about to ruin your entire day."
"Much like Sarah McLachlan on Comedy Central?" Korpse asked.
Nelson chuckled. "Nah, I wouldn't take it THAT far!"
All of a sudden, there was some beeping coming from Korpse's phone. She checked it, and was taken back by surprise.
"Whoa! Speaking of which… We gotta get back to the cottage for today's challenge!" Korpse exclaimed.
"Yeah, you're right!" Nelson replied back.
Korpse started to run ahead, with a grin.
"Race ya!"
Nelson soon started to follow his girlfriend.
"Last one there's a Low IV Gengar!" Nelson taunted playfully, as the two ran through the town's streets, the two of them giggling along the way.
Back at the Cottage, Moana, Twiggy, Grace, and Heidi were in one of the shower rooms. Grace and Heidi have dried off, and were putting on their clothes, and the Linebacker couldn't help but stare at Grace's butt. Both Moana and Twiggy looked at each other with confusion.
"Hey, it's the bestest peach crop around!" Grace teased out loud.
"Yeah… It is..." Heidi said in a trance.
"Guys? I think we should discuss something." Twiggy said out loud while she was drying off.
Grace clapped her hands in order to snap Heidi back to attention.
"Yeah, Twigz?" Heidi asked out loud.
"Well, with this game having changed a lot since we're not rooming on a large island anymore… I think it's time that we come to a deal." Twiggy announced.
"Or some kinda alliance?" Grace asked.
"Sounds good! But… We kinda got someone who's kinda… Playing on the other team." Heidi said, as she eyed Moana.
"Hm?" Moana questioned.
"Well, in that case, us four get to the Merge, then we start voting together." Twiggy answered back.
"Looks like we got a fruitiful idea!" Grace pumped her fists in triumph. "Together, we shall take everyone down!"
"Then, what should we go for?" Moana asked.
"Well, first off… We take out some of our more powerful contestants." Twiggy recommended. "Hmm… How about Ada and Nick? From what I heard, they're an item, now."
"Gotchya; our first target shall be those two." Grace nodded in agreement. "Now, Moana? Who would you target on your team?"
"Hmm..." Moana replied back. "Well, Sting is obviously out, voting wise. Maybe… Marissa? She's proven herself to be quite a powerhouse so far. And how about Olivia? She may look weak, but trust me; she's tougher than she looks..."
"Wait, that cutie?" Heidi asked out loud. "Who's with some baka guy?"
"Yeppers; she may look cute, but she's more than just some pig-tailed gal wearing cute crap." Moana answered back.
"Eh, I believe it." Grace shrugged. "Besides, how strong of a contestant can she be?"
Confessional: Yeah, you want to talk to Marissa for Olivia's Strength Stats, Grace.
Grace: Plus, she's so… Normal looking. She shouldn't be no threat to beat at all, to be honest.
Moana: Sorry… But it's either them or me.
Twiggy: All it takes is a sprinkling of an alliance into the game stew for all of us to get very far into the game.
Heidi: The wonders of what a shower with girls can bring up, huh?
Thunder was getting ready for today, as he clenched his stomach in pain.
"Ow… Man, my ribs smart right now..." Thunder winced.
He then looked over at what appeared to be a glass of lemonade, which bubbled a bit.
"I'm… not sure what your deal is, but don't taunt me, okay?" Thunder requested.
The glass of lemonade did nothing but stand there on the counter.
Confessional: For you, Ben!
Thunder: To be honest, I'm kinda freaked out right now… Where did the glass of lemonade come from?
Glass of Lemonade: -It bubbles a bit-
Now in the Foyer, Chris was standing in front of the doors. He was holding a megaphone.
"Residents! If you will report to the Foyer for your next challenge..." Chris said into the megaphone.
In almost an instant, all of the contestants ran down the steps, and into the foyer.
"Yeesh, Chris! Turn it up a little louder, why don't cha?" Mozart complained.
Verna was standing right beside Mozart with a concerned look in her eyes.
"You gonna be okay, Mozart?" Verna asked out loud. "You spent an awful long time in the bathroom."
"Eh, I'll be fine, babe." Mozart answered back. "It'll take a lot to take me down!"
"Ahem; if I can introduce the Challenge today?" Chris asked out loud. "Thank you. Now, if you will please follow me, and we can board the Bus of Challenge! Name pending."
The contestants looked at each other, as they started to follow Chris out, and they boarded the bus, with Chris behind the wheel, as he started to drive…
"Wait, Chris? When did you get a valid driver's license to drive a bus?" Grace asked, standing beside Chris. "Wait, can you even drive at ALL?!"
"Well, first time for anything." Chris shrugged, as Grace gulped.
"I was afraid of that..." Grace shivered at the thought of Chris driving.
"Besides, what's the worst that can happen?" Chris asked out loud.
A few minutes later, they were still on the road, with Chris sitting in one of the seats, with Heidi driving the bus, instead.
"Awww, how come I can't drive?" Chris complained. "I was doing so well, too!"
"Well, for starters… You got us lost. 67 times." Heidi answered back in a sarcastic tone.
"Then we somehow ended up on some Production Lot, and accidentally ran over a Kardasian." Stella noted. [1]
"Which one?" Ada asked.
"Not sure; they're all the same to me..." Stella answered. "Hopefully she'll be okay."
"Hey, not like she died..." Chris shrugged. "She just got a really bad scrape."
"Then we ended up on some island that was on frickin' FIRE!" Steph scolded. "With a blonde girl giving off a murderous grin to us..." [2]
"Seriously, she looked like she wanted to carve out my heart..." Drake shivered.
"And you even drove into a JUMBO JET!" Verna shouted out loud. "Seriously… How?!" [3]
"You did managed to score a righteous rare Pokemon from that girl wearing that Pokemon shirt..." Mozart added.
"Well, there's that." Verna chuckled.
"Hey, besides… Not like I drove into a Colosseum or anything..." Chris shrugged. "Or that I would drive with 8 units of booze in me." [4]
"In either case, Heidi's driving for now." Sting stated. "Before you decide to have us meet up with some silly tiger named Ted." [5]
"Er, guys? Is this the direction we're headed?" Heidi asked out loud, as she looked forward. The road was getting more foggy.
Chris walked up to the front of the bus, and looked at the Residents in question.
"Uh… Right… Residents! We're about to pull up to the location of today's challenge!" Chris announced.
"Well, better than playing Reality-Warping Fanfiction Bingo..." Korpse said out loud.
Confessional: Talk about a lotta shout-outs to a lotta stories!
Korpse: Okay, I should ask what kinda parts were on this bus. That felt all sorts of trippy, right there.
Xantara: -She looks at a teacup in question- I swore that I added in just the right amount of tea…
Drake: One can only imagine if we ended up in… And I can't believe I'm saying this, but… Cupcakes.
The bus parked right in front of what appeared to be an abandoned hospital. The fog was obscuring most, if not everyone's views in question.
"Yeesh, this fog is thicker than thick!" Moana said out loud.
"Yeah, I gotta agree; I think things are getting a bit too Silent Hill-ish here." Thunder added.
"Residents! Welcome to your destination for your next Challenge: This hospital!" Chris announced. "Poutine Shores more or less built this hospital back in the early 20th century, and on a hill, at that. Over time, the medical field has advanced far more, and they built a newer, better hospital close to town, otherwise known as the hospital you guys were in yesterday, and let this hospital to rot."
"Fun..." Ada yawned.
"Now… Let's enter this here hospital, shall we?" Chris suggested, as the host and teenagers did so.
Now inside, they were looking around at the cobwebs on the ceiling, and the dust at their feet, caking the floor.
"Somehow, I don't even think my family's butlers could even dust this place spotless..." Korpse noted.
"And even if any bugs have taken up residence in here, it's most likely gonna be your usual common bugs." Cherri said out loud.
Chris guided the teens to what appeared to be a waiting room, as he turned towards them.
"Residents; as you already observed, you're currently in this hospital." Chris said out loud. "Now, I only have one task for you; get to any room you can think of, because… Even I have a bad feeling that something could happen at any moment."
On a TV nearby, it suddenly turned on, as what appeared to be the intro to 'The Nutshack' started to play.
Chris grimaced at the intro, as he looked at Marissa. "Marissa, got any spare arrows on you?"
"Haven't bought any yet." Marissa answered back.
"In either case, get to any room you wish on your sides! Populars get the East Wing, Geeks get the West wing! Don't forget these flashlights provided on these tables, Go-Go-Go!" Chris said out loud, as the teams began to rush over to their side of the hospital.
He then gave off a quick glare at the TV. "Now… What to do with you..."
East Wing
In one of the rooms, Stella shivered at what she just experienced on TV.
"Drake? You're the cartoon expert… Was that 'cartoon about those nuts' as bad as Chris made it out to be?" Stella asked.
"I only saw previews… But yeah, it IS bad." Drake stated. "CandyCane29 even declared it to be an insult to animation. And she oftentimes DEFENDS bad cartoons."
"That bad, huh?" Stella questioned, as Drake nodded back. "Well… Being we're not sure what this bad feeling Chris mentioned is about… Know of any other cartoons?"
"Well, being it's kinda mid-day right now… Our best bet on TV is more or less stuff for preschoolers." Drake answered back.
"Eh, way too easy, to be honest." Stella said out loud. "Still… This hospital is completely empty, aside of us and the others."
"The kinda environment that would be right at home in Gravity Falls..." Drake noted.
All of a sudden, there was a bit of a jiggling sound, spooking them. The two turned around to see what appeared to be Korpse, holding a glass of lemonade.
"Augh, Korpse? Don't do that!" Stella reprimanded the gothic gamer.
"Sorry! It's that I saw this glass of lemonade just sitting there." Korpse replied back.
"Er… how?" Drake asked. "This building is super-old… Something like that would have evaporated, and severely molded by now."
"Gross..." Stella gagged.
Korpse looked at the lemonade in question. "Drake? Stella? This'll blow your mind, but… This lemonade's still fresh!"
Drake blinked. "You sure about that?"
Korpse sipped a bit of the lemonade, and smiled. "About as fresh as a Dorito off the assembly line!"
"You actually ate one off the assembly line one time?" Stella asked, as Korpse nodded. "How did it taste?"
"Like absolute heaven!" Korpse answered back. "So… Mind if I hang with you two this challenge? After I skimped out on two challenges in a row, it be best of me to step up my game."
Drake gave off a gentle smile. "Sure."
The three soon started to walk together, not knowing that someone… Or something was watching them from the shadows… It appeared to be holding what appeared to be a noose…
In one of the rooms, Twiggy was looking around for any leftover medical supplies, while Thunder was watching.
"Twiggy, I highly doubt you'll find anything in these cabinets." Thunder said out loud.
"Hey, gotta find something for your ribs." Twiggy retorted in concern. "Can't have you running around with broken ribs now, can't we?"
"I know… Still, are all the cabinets kinda empty?" Thunder questioned.
Twiggy sighed. "Yeah, you may be right… Besides, they may have whisked away the medical junk to the new hospital already."
"Twigz, I'll be fine; you don't gotta worry." Thunder reassured her with a smile.
Twiggy nodded. "Yeah. I shouldn't worry about you; we got a Challenge to beat!"
"You're right!" Thunder exclaimed. "Besides, this room is littered with crutches."
"That's quite an eye opener… Why litter the room with several crutches?" Twiggy asked.
"Beats me..." Thunder shrugged.
In another one of the rooms, Ada and Nick were making out. None of them noticing a two foot tall creature wearing a cardboard box over their head, wielding a whiffer bat.
"You excite my party any day..." Ada said between kisses.
"Same to you, too." Nick replied back, as the two continued to make out.
Confessional: Yeah, they got their priorties straightened out…
Ada: Need I mention on how good of a kisser Nick is?
Nick: Ada's nose stud really suits her! ...Makes me wonder if I should get one.
West Wing
Nelson was walking by himself, feeling a bit afraid. It was clear he did not want to be here.
"Hospitals really creep me out..." Nelson shivered in fear. "Abandoned hospitals, even more so..."
He continued to walk through the halls, as someone approached him.
"Er… Hey, bud."
"EEP!" Nelson yelped, as he turned around to see Verna, standing there. He breathed a sigh of relief as he gave off a slight glare at the newcomer. "Don't DO that!"
"Sorry about that." Verna apologized.
"It's fine." Nelson replied back, as he noticed something. "Hey, where's Mozart?"
"He… ran towards the bathrooms after the challenge started." Verna answered. "I'm not sure what Steph put in his breakfast, but it must have been awfully nasty."
Nelson nodded at that response. "That's awfully juvenile of her, considering the kinda crap that she's pulled off recently."
"The whole telling everyone I was a Pokemaniac thing? There was that." Verna muttered.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being a Pokemon fan." Nelson replied back. "Look at me; I play games littered with cuteness, I got a goth gal for a girlfriend, and nobody bats an eye. Besides, I like the way you are now, than who you were."
"Yeah, you're right." Verna said out loud. "Besides, I never did have much of a chance to… Well, geek out. At least not in the real world."
She then gave a look at Nelson. "How do you even do it?"
"If you need help on embracing your inner geek, I can help you out." Nelson offered. "Now, first off..."
As Nelson started to talk about geeking out, someone was watching the two. It appeared to be dressed in nurse drags. It continued to stalk out the two…
Olivia was looking through the hospital, as the Metalhead grinned.
"Isn't this great? It's a creepy, empty hospital!" Olivia exclaimed. "Who knew that I would end up here?"
She walked past what appeared to be a supply closet, as curiosity got to her.
"I wonder if there's any samples they forgot… Maybe a left-over appendix?" Olivia said to herself, as she entered the room.
Once inside the room, she looked around the room.
"Hello? Any leftover samples? From bad boys and not-so bad boys?" Olivia sung out loud. "I only wanted to see how the pros did it!"
But upon finding nothing in the room, she sighed in defeat.
"Crud, the room was emptied already." Olivia lamented. "Why must they be so responsible for useless organs that have a chance of malfunction, anyway?!"
She exited the room to see Xantara, standing there.
"Namaste..." Xantara greeted, causing Olivia to jump a bit.
"Whoa, offscreen teleportation, much?" Olivia questioned.
"Sorry about that, Olivia." Xantara apologized. "It's that I saw the door opened, and I thought it was someone else… What were you doing in there, anyway?"
"Eh, just looking around for stuff." Olivia shrugged. "But so far, it's been cleaned out."
"In either case, I think we should walk together." Xantara offered. "Besides, whatever Chris mentioned could happen at any time, and it's best if we are a duo."
"Yeah, and this place isn't offering up any inspiration for me… At all." Olivia stated.
Confessional: Kinda hard to get inspired in a hospital…
Olivia: You guys ever get the funny feeling that someone is watching us from a snowglobe for this challenge? -She suddenly realizes- ...Hey, 80's TV was awesome, even if punks were villainous thugs! Thanks, mom! -She winks-
Xantara: This place gives me some bad vibes…
Chris was watching from a room in the basement of the hospital. A smashed up TV was nearby, presumably the one in the waiting room from earlier.
"Well, everyone is situated in here so far… Let's see how they can do about… This?" Chris said, as he flipped a switch…
Elsewhere, Ellis was looking around, as he noticed something far off…
A solitary golf club, sticking out of a closet.
"All right!" Ellis cheered out loud, as he pulled out the golf club…
...Only for it to have been snapped in two.
"Aww… Would had been better not broken..." Ellis pouted, as Marissa came into the room.
"Not entirely; it'll still raise your strength up by a few digits." Marissa said out loud.
"Yeah, you're right." Ellis replied back, as the lights went off, as thus the electricity.
"Crap!" Marissa yelped in surprise, as she dug in her pockets. "Where's that flashlight that we grabbed earlier? A-HA!"
She buckled her flashlight in her shirt, and turned it on.
"Fits right comfortably with my C-Cups." Marissa breathed a sigh of relief.
Ellis could only notice the door out of the room, it's door knob jingling.
"Boob talk aside, I think someone wants in..." Ellis said out loud, as the door slowly opened.
What appeared to be a tall monstrosity walked in slowly, looking at the two. It appeared to be wearing a hospital gown.
"Oh… It's just a fellow patient." Marissa chuckled, as she took a close look at it. "...Yikes. What kinda status effect do you even HAVE?"
Ellis, meanwhile, gulped.
"...That's no patient." Ellis stated, as he held the broken golf club close to him…
Elsewhere, Ada and Nick were a bit peeved that their make-out session was interrupted, thanks to the power failure.
"Dammit… We were about to reach second!" Ada pouted, as she noticed something was standing on the foot of the bed…
The same creature from earlier.
"Er… Were you watching us get kinky with each other?" Nick asked, as the creature nodded. "...Dude, privacy!"
The creature lunged out at Nick, as he gave a quick kick to the creature, sending it towards a wall, destroying it.
"Er, don't you think that was a bit much?" Ada asked.
"He was being a peeper! And besides, it's only a robot." Nick answered back.
He noticed the whiffer bat on the ground next to the downed robot.
"A robot with a whiffer bat, at that." Nick continued, as the intercom buzzed to life.
"Er, how? Aren't we in a power failure, currently?" Ada asked.
"Residents! Welcome to your next challenge, a challenge I would like to call… Hospital of the Beast!" Chris announced. "I would like to call it a three digit number involving some butterfly, but I would have deacons chewing me out… Again."
"Do I wanna know?" Ada asked Nick, to which he shrugged.
Back with Ellis and Marissa, they were fighting off against the creature, as Chris continued.
"Your objective is to find the four colored keys, get down to the basement, do some puzzle, and defeat the boss of this challenge. But be warned; there are several creatures around, trying to heed your progress. And if you're taken to the Morgue, you're out."
"That… Sounds kinda grim." Marissa shuddered.
"Oh, and not to add any pressure to anyone, but thanks to the events of yesterday being a total wash-out… Tonight's elimination will be a double boot!" Chris announced.
"Wait, what?!" Marissa yelped out loud at the news about the upcoming double boot. "That's beyond Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies!"
"So if you want your team to remain strong, I recommend winning. McLean out!"
"Is that what we do almost every day?" Ellis asked, as he struck a blow at the creature's head, downing it. "Well, that's one down!"
Marissa was unsure, as she peeked out the door, and looked at Ellis.
"Er, Ellis? I wouldn't recommend doing your after-battle dance just yet." Marissa said out loud, as she motioned for Ellis to come.
The two peeked their head out the room and shined their flashlights in the hall…
What appeared to be several creatures, smaller than the one that they defeated, were cluttering the halls.
"Yikes, and us without a move currently that hits all enemies..." Marissa muttered.
Ellis eyed what appeared to be a hospital gurney, with some wheels on the bottom.
"Not quite accurate." Ellis noted. "Does your crossbow have a rapid-fire option?"
Marissa reached behind her back and pulled out her crossbow. "Yep; but like I said, I didn't buy any replacement arrows yet."
Ellis then noticed a jar in one of the shelves… One that wasn't emptied out yet…
"With my idea… You won't need arrows." Ellis winked.
A couple of the creatures were now in front of the door, as it swung open fast, sending the creatures flying against the walls, as Ellis was carting Marissa, who was sitting in the gurney, who was locked and loaded with some tongue depressors in her crossbow. They had war paint on their cheeks.
"Come get us, you lots!" Ellis laughed out loud. "And by that, I mean get someone else, instead!"
Marissa grinned back. "You're dealing with a powerhouse duo right here!" Marissa announced, picking off any creatures that managed to hop on their gurney.
Mozart, meanwhile, was annoyed that the power went out when he was still on the can. He managed to wipe himself clean, as he walked out and looked around the dark halls.
"Er… Dudes? Where are you at?" Mozart asked out loud. "Verna? Sting?"
He then started to walk in the halls, as he heard a sound, which sent a shiver down his spine…
The sound of a music box.
Mozart was now in pure fear, as he pulled out his bo…
"No… Not again..." Mozart sobbed to himself, as the music got louder and closer to him…
Yikes… It looks like things have turned all Silent Hill on us! But what team will succeed?
