so. much. one. versus. three. minigames.
Gold Saucer - Turn 12
It's Kirby's turn. He pulls out the Spiny Shell and tosses it up high into the air. Nagito Komaeda doesn't know that the Spiny Shell has been called upon and it has his name on it. It slams into him and explodes, ridding him of the rest of his coins. Kirby then hits the Dice Block and gets a 8. He picks up a second Thwomp OrbThe space it lands on squishes the player who tries to bypass the space it created, forcing the player to stop moving and stay on the space, immediately ending the targeted player's turn. from an Orb Space. He tries to stop at Grace's shop before being told off by her. Seems like he forgot his inventory's technically full.
Grace: Hey — did you forget that I can't serve you at this moment? Come back here again with less junk in your system!
Kirby lands on an Event Space and is greeted by a Shy Guy wearing an apron.
Shy Guy: Uhh.... sorry to break your stride, but I don't think you can play the claw machine we have at this time. Must be your big britches.
Kirby gives an irked look at the Shy Guy, like he's been called a jolly fellow. The Shy Guy leaves posthaste as Kirby ends his turn.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He uses his Sluggish Shroom Orb. A Dice Block slowed to a crawl appears above him, and Nagito Komaeda breaks it open just before it displays the number 8. He scoops up a Cashzap OrbThe user is surrounded in lightning, allowing the player to choose an opponent to target. Whoever is targeted loses half of their coins (rounded down). from the Orb Space he passes over before landing on an Event Space and hopping into the malfunctioning phone booth to find out what led Kirby to take a picture in it.
A camera shuttersnap sound echoes inside the metallic box that is the phone booth. One short moment later, he appears in a bright flash onto one of the Lucky Spaces in the small island in the bottom center of the board. Right next to him and said Lucky Space he appeared on is a sort of Magic Cardpet station monitored by a Buzzy Beetle. The flash had caused him to cover his eyes under his shell earlier. Nagito Komaeda gets back up as his turn ends on a hopeful note.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. Hitting the Dice Block nets him a 6. The space criminal stops on a space in the color of his complexion and ends his turn with 27 coins.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. Hitting the Dice Block nets her a 5. She has just enough moves to make it towards the Magic Cardpet station on the island of clubs. After receiving a Waddle Dee OrbGives you a free item that replaces this item after being used. from the Orb Space she passed during her moves towards it, she gives the Goomba running the station 5 coins, a signal that she wants to go towards the center of the board for a star.
Goomba: Okey-dokey, then. The Star Auction at the center is very risky. Don't say I didn't warn you.
A giant tarot card depicting the Major Arcana the Wheel of Fortune flies into view, a Magic Cardpet ready for the Digimon to ride on. It whisks her towards the center of the board atop the abyss that broke into the Gold Saucer's floor and leaves her there. The Bony Beetle rattles his instructions to Shinrabanshoumon again.
Bony Beetle: Let's make another deal. Everyone must participate in the auction as long as they can pay the starting price and whoever bids the highest gets a star. The highest bid will be the next star's price but I'll cut that star price in half if I feel like it.
As the Bony Beetle prepares to call in the Boos for the auction process... he gives off a final warning.
Bony Beetle: However... if a tie happens during bidding or the player right here can't even bid for the star to begin with... prepare to receive your comeuppance.- The auction process begins. Kirby and Shinrabanshoumon are required to bid the 50 coin minimum.
- The vulpine shaman goes all in and bestows upon the Boo above her head 54 coins.
- Kirby bids 55 coins, one higher than the amount of coins Shinrabanshoumon called for.
- The call for going once is called.
- The call for going twice is called. Kirby gives the Boo right above the pink gumball the last two of his coins, resulting in a final bidding price of 57 coins.
The Boo receives Kirby's coins and turns it in towards the Star Auction. The Bony Beetle sprouts wings to fly towards the Star Warrior and grant Kirby a star.
A minute after the auction finishes, the Bony Beetle is back at the middle of the board and tells Shinrabanshoumon, the next auction's star will have a starting cost of 28 coins.
Bony Beetle: All right, you got the next auction's starting price told to ya. Now scram.
The tarot card-styled Magic Cardpet comes back towards the center of the board as Shinrabanshoumon hops onto it and returns towards the island of clubs. Due to her plan of going all in the Star Auction failing because she forgot Kirby could also afford the starting price of 50 coins, she lands on the Red Space just waiting for her away from the line towards the Magic Cardpet station and loses 3 of her coins.
It's a 1-vs-3 minigame, with Captain Spaceboy against the trio of Nagito Komaeda, Shinrabanshoumon, and Kirby. How's this next mini-game going to go?
Turn 12 Mini-Game - Converyor Bolt (video of minigame)
The team of three are placed onto a whale-shaped airship in a sea of airships just like it. The texture of the ground Kirby's shoes is currently feeling gives the team of three the impression the airship has a conveyor belt built onto it.
Tsukumogami of Gensokyo Raiko Horikawa flies into the triple team-up's view and tells them what shocking attacks they'll be in for.
Raiko: My, I must have wandered off to a place much more bizarre than both back at home and the outside world... A mysterious raijin has bestowed upon your opponent a great tool of power. Even with my lightning prowess even I cannot placate its wrath.
The conveyor belt on the airship activates as the team of three tries to keep their footing.
Raiko: Perhaps I might have said too much? It'll be a matter of who is the more powerful force, anyways... (chuckles) Before I go, please watch your step.
The taiko drum youkai flies off in a hurry as Captain Spaceboy swoops into view on a cloud chariot, ready to make the opposing team feel the thunder.- Nagito Komaeda is the first to be eliminated after the chariot drops a big bolt onto him, smiting him towards the abyss below.
- Kirby bobs and weaves around the bolts Captain Spaceboy drops before accidentally running headfirst into one of them that was still stuck on the conveyor belt.
- Shinrabanshoumon is the last of the three players to be eliminated from the mini-game as she does not notice a set of spikes popping up from the conveyor belt below her feet. The sharp impact of the spikes sends her flying upwards into the air like a rocket as she clenches her rear end in pain.
- Captain Spaceboy has curb stomped his competition and thus has won the minigame.
The unknown figure who bestowed the cloud chariot to Captain Spaceboy gives him 10 coins without saying a word before leaving.

Don't worry about Nagito's Cashzap Orb, I'll add that back in next time.

hey, at least you didn't have to wait yet another week for this turn!
Gold Saucer - Turn 13
It's Kirby's turn. He takes out one of his Thwomp Orbs and chucks it at the Blue Space sitting before the Orb Space and shop nested next to each other. Hitting the Dice Block nets him a 10. With 8 moves left, he jumps straight towards the Magic Cardpet station to get a ticket to another island on the board.
Goomba: Sure thing. Just draw a card. Its suit will help you on your way.
Kirby draws a 8 of Hearts. The Goomba looks at him in disappointment and tells him he'll have to come back to the station later to try his luck again. Kirby picks up a Super Mushroom OrbAllows the player to roll three dice blocks instead of one when used. from the Orb Space sitting on the island of hearts and intelligently passes by the shop, eventually stopping on a Red Space and losing no coins in the process since he used them all on the Star Auction the previous turn.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. Hitting the Dice Block nets him a 7. As he starts to move the Buzzy Beetle says something to him as he approaches the return point of the area.
Buzzy Beetle: You showed up outta nowhere, huh kid? Listen... I'll have to take you off this island as a mandatory rule, unless you pay me 5 coins every time you come here. Looks like you've got empty pockets. Sorry, but you'll have to head your way towards the start area.
A Magic Cardpet of a tarot card depicting the Major Arcana Death comes around as Komaeda is pushed onto the Magic Cardpet by the Buzzy Beetle and returns back to start. He continues onwards as intentionally lands on Kirby's Orb Space. A Goomba without a top hat arrives, and finds out too late his arrival was futile.
Goomba: Heya. I'm gonna have to request you give up your coins to— wait just a darn minute! You don't have any! At all! You got lucky this time. Next time things won't be as such...
The hatless Goomba leaves in a huff.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. Another Dice Block appears above his head as it is forcibly disintegrated by Spaceboy's laser gun. Out of its remains comes a 3. He lands on an Event Space and is greeted by Griffin & Kryuger Tactical Doll R93.
R93: Guten abend. I am German Tactical Doll R93. I, a paragon of fortune, have settled here to itch my gambling needs. You'll be required to play some craps, and you're the shooter! Don't worry, the table we're at gives you a quick overview of what'll happen as you play.
Captain Spaceboy is required to bid, and Captain Spaceboy bids all but 3 of his coins, sneakily trying to aim for the Currency Star. He attempts to make a Don't Pass bet.
Two Dice Blocks appear, glued together as if they were Siamese twins, right above Captain Spaceboy's head. Captain Spaceboy zaps them both. The two Dice Blocks bleed out a 2 and a 4, signifying a point.
R93: This is it! Just roll a seven and you'll be golden.
Two more Dice Blocks conjoined together appear and Captain Spaceboy shoots lasers at them in just a few seconds. The two Dice Blocks' remains leave behind a 6 and a 4. It sums up to 10, which prompts another duo of Dice Blocks to come in again, as neither 6 or 7 were rolled.
Two more Dice Blocks arrive. A 3 and a 2 are rolled. The game is still up for keeps.
The next Dice Block conjoined twin arrives. Two 5s are rolled. The game still continues on, with no finalized result.
The next two Dice Blocks come. A 3 and a 6 are rolled. The game still continues as R93 tries to cover up a yawn she made.
Another two Dice Blocks arrive. Captain Spaceboy is given a Hard Ten from them.
Another two Dice Blocks come. A 2 and a 3 are rolled.
R93: Oh my... this is going to take a while.
The next set of Dice Blocks promptly appear above the space pirate's head. Snake Eyes are rolled, but the game goes on regardless due to it not being the come-out roll.
A 5 and a 4 are rolled. The next set of Dice Blocks materialize.
A 4 and a 6 are rolled. The next set of Dice Blocks materialize as R93 contemplates allowing Spaceboy to make a Don't Pass bet was a bad idea in hindsight.
The last set of Dice Blocks arrive. A decisive laser shot turns them into ash, leaving behind a 5 and a 2. The sum of the two numbers is 7, resulting in him winning the bet.
R93: Congratulations, sir! Your bet has finally been won. All those dice rolls were worth it! Here are your betted coins and more back.
Spaceboy jumps from 3 coins all the way up to 71.
R93 leaves the craps table as Spaceboy ends his turn; the spacefarer makes a deep sigh.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She uses her Waddle Dee Orb and a Waddle Dee drops into the scene and gifts upon her a Thwomp OrbThe space it lands on squishes the player who tries to bypass the space it created, forcing the player to stop moving and stay on the space, immediately ending the targeted player's turn. for use. She hits the Dice Block with a flurry of magical needles. Out of the Dice Block comes a 9. She goes around another lap on the island of clubs, deciding Captain Spaceboy needed to be punished from what happened last mini-game, thus holding onto the Bowlo Orb. She is bestowed a Chain Chomp OrbSummons a Chain Chomp who allows you to steal coins for free or a Star for 50 coins from a single target. It can target any player who does not have a Bone Orb in their inventory. from the Orb Space she walks over, immediately getting rid of the Thwomp Orb she just got just a few moments ago. She eventually stops on a Blue Space and ends her turn with 54 coins.
It's time for a 2-vs-2 mini-game! Time for Shinrabanshoumon and Nagito Komaeda to do battle with Kirby and Captain Spaceboy.
Turn 13 Mini-Game - Real Smoothie (video of minigame)
The players arrive at a futuristic smoothie factory. Greeting their arrival are two extraterrestrials with the appearance of humans, prodigy virologist Verda Kleiman and skilled assassin Nel Zelpher. If they didn't tell you straight up they were actually aliens, you would mistake them for a human hailing from planet Earth.
Verda Kleiman: Oh, good tidings, fellow travelers. I am Verda Kleiman of Planet Levvarance. I am just doing volunteer work here as a break from the medical field. Next to me is Nel.
An Octoomba appears and directs the team over to two identical areas for the teams to work in. One has a funnel dispensing fruit and two giant machines funneling extract juice over into a giant vet outside the room that the players will be working their asses off in. Ditto for the duplicate.
Nel uncovers herself to the four players. Was she in such a talented manner of stealth that she was invisible to everyone else?
Nel Zelpher: Whoever is able to deliver the most fruit to the industrial-grade fluid extraction chambers wins. I will reward the one who does the most work as justified.
The Elicoorian has left the four players' sight again as an orange-like fruit appears for Kirby and Captain Spaceboy to take, starting the mini-game as the other team gets a fruit that is similar to a strawberry but not exactly like it.- 30 seconds pass and the mini-game ends. Nagito Komaeda and Shinrabanshoumon scored a total of 26 fruits squeezed.
- The gluttonous eat-everything Star Warrior and his unwilling partner Captain Sapceboy, however take home the cake with 31 fruits scored and squeezed.
As promised from Nel, she returns and gives Kirby and Captain Spaceboy 10 coins each... not before taking another glance at Captain Spaceboy for a bit, furrowing her eyebrows in suspicion, before leaving the employees' working room.

been quite unlucky for the past few months, suits the gap between updates, it's been 13 days since the previous turn
Gold Saucer - Turn 14
It's Kirby's turn. Taking out his Super Mushroom Orb, he inhales the mushroom inside. Kirby glows like a lantern for a second before three Dice Blocks start appearing one by one above him as the Star Warrior decides to break all three of them in short order. Out of the Dice Blocks are a 9, a 2, and a 1, which results in a total move count of 12.
After his 3 first moves, Kirby stops by the Magic Cardpet Station to try to go to another island.
Goomba: Sure. Just pick up a card from this deck I just shuffled. The suit's where you'll go.
It's a 6 of Hearts. Kirby is disappointed as the Goomba solemnly tells him he'd have to make another loop around the island of hearts in order to use the station's services again.
Kirby ends up running across the Orb Space on the island of hearts again and receives a Bowlo OrbThe user turns into a ball that rolls across the board. Players who pass other players who are not moving and are at their destination steal 10 coins from the player they roll over. from it. Kirby skips over the shop due to his full inventory and ends up landing on the Event Space he was just on in the beginning of the turn again. The Shy Guy walks in and gives him an irked look. Maybe he's acting like he was called a jolly fellow too?
Shy Guy: Uh... again? You're already full of items in your inventory. I suggest you start using your items as soon as possible if you keep arriving here. Sorry to break it to ya, buddy....
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. Irritated with his luck turning upside-down he desires to have control over an asset of luck himself and uses the Sluggish Shroom Orb that he has in his inventory, and managed to have a 1 break out of the Dice Block that appeared over him. Landing on an Event Space, Nagito Komaeda is greeted by the former planet known as the World of Balance's legendary thief Locke Cole.
Locke: The name's Locke. You've got no idea how someone who looks as sleazy as me is stalking in casino territory. Listen up: we can do this behind the scenes so I don't get caught. I can do various exchanges with you if you'd accept. I've been eying that Cashzap Orb of yours... I have this Plunder Chest for offer. Is it something you want?
Nagito Komaeda refuses to make the trade. He's been keeping tabs on Captain Spaceboy since his big break last turn, and he's been hoarding his items for that reason or another one.
The Returner bandit scoffs and rolls his eyes.
Locke: Well, fine. If you insist. If you consider changing your mind at a later time, that'd be great.
The thief makes his leave for the turn.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. With overconfidence, he begins his turn by hitting... er... vaporizing a Dice Block. Figuratively, not literally, rolling the Dice Block gives him a 5. He scoops up a Metal Mushroom OrbPrevents almost all spaces that are created by orb throws from working on the player for one turn. from an Orb Space and ends his turn on a Blue Space, ending his turn with 84 coins.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. From telepathic analysis, the digital kitsune decided Captain Spaceboy's had enough and uses her Chain Chomp Orb to summon a Chain Chomp. Her plan: get rid of as many of Captain Spaceboy's coins as much as possible and make them hers for the taking.
Chain Chomp: Arf arf! <You want me to steal something for you? No problem!>
The Chain Chomp bounces around the island of clubs and zeroes in on the space pirate before squishing him flat unders its massive body weight. It comes back to Shinrabnashoumon with a total of 15 coins stolen.
Chain Chomp: Yip woof woof! <What a steal! I've got 15 coins for the taking!>
Now with 69 coins, Captain Spaceboy has 3 less coins than Shinrabanshoumon as a result.
She hits the Dice Block and rolls a 2. Cue facepalm as she begrudgingly goes towards the Blue Space just a couple moves away and ends her turn with 72 coins, wondering why she's still getting all these low-numbered dice rolls.
It's a 4-player free-for-all romp! What'll be the minigame this time?
Turn 14 Mini-Game - Corkscrew Climb (video of minigame)
The players find themselves standing at the bottom of a corkscrew-shaped tower, teeming with Amps. Oarfish youkai Iku Nagae descends into the scene and gives the rundown on the minigame.
Iku: Seriously, if this wasn't the outside world, Tenshi'd kill me for having something like this pierce the heavens...
The Gensokyo native attempts to regain her composure.
Iku: Anyways, all you have to do is be the first one to make it to the top of this tower. The Amps seemed to be attracted to my electricity powers, so they're very riled up. I don't want to make you waste too much time so I'll be up at the top waiting for someone to reach me. I'll just let the kitsune go first. Kind of reminds me they're also the same youkai as one of the Great Sages' servants... hmm...
The atmosphere-watching servant of the Dragon Palace flies off in the distance as the players line up, ready to scale the tower and play the minigame.- The results are eventually: Captain Spaceboy in first, Shinrabanshoumon and Nagito Komaeda tied for second, and Kirby as the straggler of the group and the last to reach the tower.
- It took multiple shocks but they eventually kept it together and managed to reach the tower's summit before Misstar brought them back to the board.
While everyone else is struggling to climb their way to the roof of the tower, Captain Spaceboy receives 10 coins from Iku Nagae after several seconds of negotiation. By the time Iku Nagae left, Kirby finally made his way to the top of the tower and was saddened to see everyone was already there before him.

A shame that Chain Chomp is gone now. ShinraBanshoumon would have loved to given it a pat on the head. Her roll was terrible again for the nth time in a row.

yeah, this was a tough turn to write, besides it's almost a week since the last turn, so I hope this goes 100% perfect, final five turns soon
Gold Saucer - Turn 15
Malevolent Moment begins!
Scarmiglione in his crater hideout begins stomping the ground angrily in monologue.
Scarmiglione: Aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh! Those damn curs ruining some of my hard-earned work... I've just got the thing to help turn the favor over to me. Rche!
A androgynous angel descends into the pit of Scarmiglione's hideaway. It is Rche, a strange individual that once helped usurp a kingdom not of the one of mushrooms, known as of current as a legend.
Rche: As you will, fellow fiend. I just know where to cause bedlam to the Star Spirits. There's a familiar face around her... I would like to pay her a visit, if you please.
Scarmiglione: Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
The devious tomgirl flies out of the crater off to deliver punishment.
Meanwhile as Grace tends to her temporary store, Rche appears before her.
Rche: So is this where the Voltex maiden is? I, Rche, demand confiscation of important relics immediately in this establishment. I am acting as liaison from the former Lincle terrors to the current owner of this building. Mamonis needs what we want in his treasury.
Grace: Does it even look like I know you? I refuse to give you anything! Not even in a million years! You couldn't even take away things stored in the back of this store... like the gems Near and Noah gave to me on one of my birthdays...
Rche: I care not for those who do not respect our values... I only look out for myself. Now hand your products over to me, at this instant.
As they both bicker, Misstar hears the commotion and decides to warn the players about the predicament. Since they were near Misstar, Kirby and Nagito Komaeda are able to listen to what she has to announce.
Misstar: Sorry, but we have a predicament going on in the shop and I feel it is my duty to break the strife. It would be in your best position to avoid shopping at Grace's this turn.
It's Kirby's turn. He takes out his Metal Mushroom Orb and devours it whole. He turns into Metal Kirby, an Copy Ability not used by him since the intergalactic criminal group known as the Squeak Squad's appearance in Pop Star. A Dice Block appears above him as he smacks it with one of his stubby little arms. Out comes a 6. He stomps his way towards one of his own Orb Spaces, and receives 10 coins for his troubles. He discards his current ability and watches the ability star bounce off in the distance.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He groans as he starts to roll his Dice Block. Receiving a 7, he tries his best to sneak around the conflict going on at the island of hearts currently, procures a Spiny OrbThe space it lands on takes 10 coins from the player who lands on the space and gives it to the player who created the space. during the way, and stops sneaking when he stops at an Red Space. Still penniless, the Red Space has nothing to take away from Nagito Komaeda as he sighs in relief from avoiding detection at the shop.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. He pulls out his blaster as he gets ready to zap another Dice Block. The Dice Block appears and is shot on the spot. Out comes a 8. With just one move used, he zips towards the Magic Cardpet Station and hands over 5 coins to the Goomba running the station.
The Goomba closes his eyes as he looks down on the ground as if it was making a sigh.
Goomba: OK, you may go. You've been warned.
Captain Spaceboy travels his way towards the center of the board via tarot card Magic Cardpet where the Bony Beetle is stationed at.
Bony Beetle: You're here for another star eh? Let's see everyone saddle up their cash first. If possible...
The Boos are summoned towards two of the players to start the Star Auction's bidding process.- Immediately, Spaceboy goes all in and cashes in all 76 of his coins. With the only Chain Chomp Orb currently in any of the four players' pockets, he is ensuring that no one has the ability to gain any more stars... unless they get super lucky with the Phone Booth or other Magic Cardpet Stations.
- Once the Boo finally tells Shinrabanshoumon Spaceboy has bidded 76 coins for a star, Shinrabanshoumon stomps the ground in frustration for performing a cheap loophole abuse. Shinrabanshoumon cannot reasonably get the star, so she just bids the 28 coin minimum in fear of being punished for bidding below it.
- No one responds to going once and going twice.
As the Boo turns in the money to the Bony Beetle running the Star Auction stand, the Bony Beetle is intrigued as it turns towards Captain Spaceboy and hands him a Star on the spot.
Bony Beetle: Just so you know, the last five turns are nigh. I'm going to have to make the next star cost 38 coins as a result. Sorry, chump. Anyways, you are dismissed.
The tarot Magic Cardpet returns to Cpt. Spaceboy as he hops back on it and returns back to the island of clubs to continue his turn. Captain Spaceboy ends up landing on a Blue Space and gets 3 coins.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She hits the Dice Block and gets a 1. She tries to calm herself down, reasoning if she keeps getting low rolls, she can regain her luck by playing craps as long as she rolls a 3 or lower to land on the Event Spaces where she is able to participate in it. She lands on a Blue Space, ends her turn with 47 coins, and prays for having the last five turns figuratively granting her a second wind.
It's yet another 1-vs-3 mini-game bout! The lone player is Nagito Komaeda and he'll have to keep his confidence ready for the upcoming mini-game!
Turn 15 Mini-Game - Power Washer (video of minigame)
The players are sent via wormhole into a waterjet facility. Straight from Terra is Weedy and her Bionic Seadragon companion Leaf. She introduces herself to the teams.
Weedy: Pleased to meet you. You may call me Weedy. I am acting as liaison from the distant Terran facility Rhodes Island by visiting this state of the art waterjet facility. The people in it want to do some kind of test for some of their pressure washers. If you can successfully test their pressure and power, the facility might give you all nice rewards.
As the team of three diligently listens, a Nebula Floater comes behind Nagito and drags him away from the scene, possibly to use him to try to hijack the power washers inside the room the water jets the players will deal with.
A Chao comes over to the team of three to escort them to a room with a circular alcove jutting out of the floor, a Blooper can be seen cleaning up one of the two nozzles stationed in the room when it suddenly turns on. It turns off after a while. The three players climb their way up to the circular pillar in the middle of the room as the waterjet nozzle turns on again. The three players instinctively move away from them as the nozzles begin to rotate around the room. The minigame has definitely begun on an abrupt note, alright.- The nozzle spins around, eventually catching Kirby and Captain Spaceboy as its blowback sends them flying. Shinrabanshoumon barely survives, but notices the second of the nozzles activating as she panics to find a way to get around it.
- The combined might of the nozzles eventually get Shinrabanshoumon eliminated from the minigames as her reflexes fail to avoid tricky rotations done by the Ultimate Lucky Student's grasp.
- Nagito Komaeda has won the mini-game, but not in a full curb-stomp as the advantage-skew to the lone player in the mini-game would have expected.
Outside the room where the minigame took place, the team of three are carried by Audino, one by one, to recover from the massive damage the high pressure waterjet caused. Nagito watches them go out of the room as the Nebula Floater places a bag of 10 coins behind his back.

lookie here, the map pictures a bit different, then again i'm a bit bummed our update are basically weekly atm
Gold Saucer - Turn 16
The Final Five Turns is nigh. With Grace dealing with Rche, Misstar prepares to announce how well the players have been doing so far.
Misstar: Let's see how our contestants are doing... Kirby is in the lead, Nagito Komaeda is not far behind... Captain Spaceboy is third, and Shinrabanshoumon is fourth. How unfortunate for her...
Misstar: I just know a way to cheer her up!
A wormhole has dragged Shinrabanshoumon from the island of clubs back to the start area, and is told by Misstar to hit a translucent block above the Digimon's head.
Shinrabanshoumon hits the block as it projects a picture of a pile of coins. 40 coins rain down onto Shinrabanshoumon which is luckily enough for her to gain advantage for the Currency Star.
Misstar: Now begins our last five turns in this casino. Best wishes and good luck!
It's Kirby's turn. Taking out a Copy Essence Bubble out from his stomach, he then swallows it back up to become ESP Kirby. Firing an energy ball at the Dice Block that appears, the remains of the block shoots out a 7. He picks up a Piranha Plant OrbThe space it lands on takes half of the coins from the player who lands on the space and gives it to the player who created the space. from an Orb Space and goes towards the Item Shop to talk to Grace.
Grace: Welcome back... Do you desire anything on sale right now?
The shop items includes: Mushroom Orb (5 Coins), Metal Mushroom Orb (10 Coins), Bowlo Orb (10 Coins)
Kirby just purchases a Mushroom OrbAllows the player to roll two dice blocks instead of one when used. .
Grace: We'll cross paths again soon... I mean it...
Kirby ends up stopping on a Duel Space, as an magenta flash of light stuns Kirby for a few seconds after standing on it for a short while. Misstar teleports in a starry flash near Kirby.
Misstar: Let's begin another Duel mini-game! Alright, Kirby, who will you choose as your opponent?
Kirby decides to duke it out with Captain Spaceboy. Misstar obliges and drops the dizzy space pirate into Kirby's current vicinity via her magic.
Misstar: Let us begin! You'll be transported to your destination shortly...
Turn 16 Duel Mini-Game - Psychic Safari (video of minigame)
The two players find themselves on a rooftop of the Eagleland town of Fourside. Sitting on the rooftop for no discernable reason are two giant stone statues of a Starman and a Pigmask. The infamous Diclonus named Lucy is currently here in her Nyu form. Watching over the dangerous beast is Athena Asamiya, a legendary figure in a giant fighting tournament.
Athena: Hi there, you two! I'm Athena... and this girl...
She looks down at the small transmogrified girl and looks back at the two duelers as if she couldn't push herself to make a negative emotion.
Athena: ...don't worry about her.
Nyuu makes multiple squeaks that sound like she has the mouth of a pocket beast. Athena tries to translate.
Athena: Guess it is time for you two to test your extrasensory skills! Try focusing your mind to do supernatural things on one of these statues. The last standing statue wins! Alright, now you've gotten the gist, it's up to you now!
Kirby and Cpt. Spaceboy stand in front of their chosen statues and start using their brain power.
Suddenly, the Starman statue Kirby was focusing his ESP Copy Ability powers on turned animate and smashed into the side of the Pigmask statue Captain Spaceboy was literally working his brain on and made it crumble into pieces.
Athena: And Kirby wins the esper duel! That final blow that statue did left me astonished, if I do say so myself. I sense Misstar will be coming to pick up two back up shortly.
The two players are back from their psychic brawl and Misstar summons a magic orb that will show the possible spoils of the duel. Kirby taps it lightly with one of his energy-filled hands. The magic orb stops rapidly flashing between pictures and now stops on an image showing two stars. Cpt. Spaceboy only has 1 star so that's going away regardless. Misstar dismisses Captain Spaceboy back to his original position as the duel mini-game procession is over.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He pulls out his Cashzap Orb as the orb's powers envelop him in a film of electricity. He aims a lightning bolt directly towards Kirby and causes him to lose his ESP ability and 8 of his coins. The ability star bounces off in the distance and the effect of the Cashzap Orb wears off on Nagito. Hitting the Dice Block nets him a 2. Nagito Komaeda stops on a Blue Space and starts to sulk as 3 coins slip into his inventory.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. With the ire of his Duel mini-game loss still swirling in his head, he lashes out his anger on another player, Shinrabanshoumon, as he sends out the Chain Chomp Orb to summon a Chain Chomp of his own.
Chain Chomp: Arf arf! <You want me to steal something for you? No problem!>
The giant dog-like beast trounces around the island of clubs before squishing Shinrabanshoumon on its way, stealing 14 of her coins.
Chain Chomp: Woof woof! <What a steal! Here's 14 coins for you!>
With the Chain Chomp gone, Cpt. Spaceboy zaps yet another Dice Block as it leaves a 3 in its wake. He scrounges up a Bulin OrbThe player that lands on the space it creates calls in the two Bulin of the Kansen to delete all their items and convert them to coins which goes to the player who created the space. from the Orb Space he passes by, and stops on a Blue Space. Captain Spaceboy ends his turn stuck in fourth place with only 20 coins but also a stacked inventory of orbs.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She immediately pulls out her Goomba Orb and tosses it as far as she can throw. The Goomba Orb lands on a Red Space sandwiched between two Blue Spaces. Satisfied with the item use, she hits her Dice Block and gets a 1, exactly enough to land on an Event Space. Tactical Doll R93 walks up to the craps table again.
R93: Hello, R93 here. I take it you're a bit bummed about how your day's going? Here's a chance to turn that frown upside down! You'll be required to play some craps, and you're the shooter. Don't worry, the table we're at gives you a quick overview of what'll happen as you play.
As Shinrabanshoumon is required to bid, she bids 18 of her coins, not wanting to bust out trying to go all in with her coins. She tries for a Pass bet.
Two Dice Blocks conjoined together appear as Shinrabanshoumon breaks them open with a flurry of hitodama. A 6 and a 1 fall out. With just the first roll, the come out roll, landing on a Natural 7, she has made a smart decision to try a Pass bet and wins back 18 of her coins plus 18 more.
R93: I'm so glad you could win that quickly and easily on your first roll. You've done well. I'll be taking my temporary leave now — if anyone else comes back here I'll be there on the spot. See you later!
It's the fifth to last turn's mini-game. Time for a daring 1-vs-3 mini-game with Kirby as the solo side!
Turn 16 Mini-Game - StratosFEAR! (video of minigame)
Three of the players land on a giant mushroom platform in the sky. A Lakitu tells them how the minigame works before a floating armada of Bullet Bill Blasters and Kirby in a helicopter holding a megaphone appears. Kirby yells loudly into the megaphone in a cacophonic tone, sending the team of three into a frenzy, beginning the minigame.- Nagito Komaeda and Captain Spaceboy jump around each other like fleas attached to a dog before the combined effort of the shaky mushroom's movement and a rogue Bullet Bill darting into their befuddlement bats them out of the sky and out of the running.
- Luckily, Shinrabanshoumon's swift fox heritage allows her to barely eke out the win for the team of three against Kirby. Her last movement involved her bouncing off a Bullet Bill as if she was reaching for the sky.
As two red-shelled Koopa Paratroopas manage to rescue and bring back Nagito Komaeda and Captain Spaceboy, Kirby flies away in the helicopter looking defeated. The Lakitu comes back holding a treasure chest, who slowly opens it up as a total of 30 coins start flying into the three winners' pockets, which get 10 each for it.

Gold Saucer - Turn 17
It's Kirby's turn. He immediately pulls out his Mushroom Orb and eats it whole as a light bursts out from his body like a lightbulb. Two blocks appear one by one as Kirby hits them both. He rolls a 10 and a 1, summing up to a total of 11 space he can move. Kirby then heads straight for the Magic Cardpet station to get to another island of suits.
Goomba: Sure thing! Just draw a card from this deck I already shuffled. What's on the top?
It's a 5 of Spades. The Goomba wishes Kirby a safe trap as the card gradually transforms into the Magic Cardpet Kirby rides on.
Kirby arrives at the island of spades and continues on his trek throughout the board. He picks up a Metal Mushroom OrbPrevents almost all spaces that are created by orb throws from working on the player for one turn. from an Orb Space directly in his way and thens stops on a Blue Space and gets 3 coins.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He hits the Dice Block and gets a 9. He takes a deep breath before planning his further moves, walking past an Orb Space to get a Podoboo OrbThe space it lands on burns the player who tries to bypass the space it created, forcing the player to move ten extra spaces and deletes all their items. from it. He stops in the middle of his path to check out if Grace has anything he'd like to buy.
Grace: Welcome. Do you desire anything on sale right now?
The shop items includes: Dinergate Orb (10 Coins), Barter Box (20 Coins), Plunder Chest (10 Coins)
Nagito purchases a Plunder ChestAllows the player to target any of their opponents to steal a random item from their inventory. . This'll come in handy...
Grace: We'll cross paths again... I... I mean it, okay?
The Ultimate Lucky Student unfortunately ends up landing on a Red Space, which means the loss of coins instead of gain like with Blue Spaces. Nagito Komaeda ends his turn with zero coins in hand.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. He immediately takes out his Metal Mushroom Orb to use and is enveloped in a thick metallic film. A Dice Block appears above him as his transformed leaded fist clanks against the bottom of the block. A 2 pops out as he trudges towards the Blue Space just in reach, stops on it, and gathers 3 coins. The metallic film dissipates as Cpt. Spaceboy ends his turn.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She hits her Dice Block and rolls a 4. Managing to land on her own Orb Space that she made from a Goomba Orb throw, she receives 10 coins.
It's an eventful 2-vs-2 mini-game! Let's see how Shinrabanshoumon and Nagito Komaeda fare against well-oiled space trekkers!
Turn 17 Mini-Game - Crops and Robbers (video of minigame)
The players appear in front of a duo of farmland riddled with mole holes and well past mature carrots. A duo of trucks with a Shy Guy and a human figure in each roll up towards the patches of land . The players could not muster the human figures at the moment. As the players observe the parched soil of the land and the dried-up grass, the humans get out of the car. A teenage girl wearing a hoodie and a middle-aged man who does agriculture for a living with a rake sported in overalls like he's Mario or something approaching the players.
Farmer: A'ight, you guys showed up outta nowhere and ended up in Nebraska for some reason... but I reckon y'all be some great help. See those carrot leaves sticking up there? Deliver them to the trunk on each of these here trucks. Either farmland must be clean to have me give the lucky ones some cash. Make sure to shoo away the pests if they pop up.
The girl silently tosses hammers towards Kirby and Nagito Komaeda. While the former catches it normally, Kirby just leaves his mouth open wide as if acting like a wastebasket for trash to be thrown in. He swallows it whole, becoming Hammer Kirby once again.
Farmer: Good luck, partners!
The players rush towards the two patches of farmland to begin the minigame.- Kirby and Spaceboy struggle to keep their chemistry afloat, even though Kirby's hammer allows him to easily make short work of the mole-dug holes.
- Shinrabanshoumon and Nagito Komaeda handle their teamwork better, and thus get the upper hand on the mini-game, eventually securing the win as Shinrabanshoumon tosses the final carrot into the red pickup.
The farmer returns, looks at the two winners of the mini-game and their carrot-filled red pickup truck and tells them "good job" as the two winners each receive their 10 coin payout.

Gold Saucer - Turn 18
It's Kirby's turn. He pulls out the Piranha Plant Orb from his mouth and tosses it at the closest Red Space behind him. He then hits the Dice Block and nets a 10. He scoops up a Mr. Blizzard OrbThe place it lands on removes all the items from the player who lands on this space. from an Orb Space, then with half of his remaining moves left, turns towards the Magic Cardpet Station to attempt to leave the island of spades.
Goomba: Sure, just draw a card from this pre-shuffled deck and see what comes up.
It's a 10 of Diamonds. The card Kirby draws flies out of his grasp, falls on its back, and enlarges to the Magic Cardpet size for Kirby to hop on and ride on like a Warp Star.
A short while after arriving, Kirby finds out a Chain Chomp OrbSummons a Chain Chomp who allows you to steal coins for free or a Star for 50 coins from a single target. It can target any player who does not have a Bone Orb in their inventory. fell into his inventory via an Orb Space in his inventory and decides to toss out a Thwomp Orb to make room for it. He then lands on an Orb Space set up by Nagito Komaeda and gets nailed by a red Spiny shell. Kirby loses all of his current coins and Nagito Komaeda manages to double his coin count to 20 via that pivotal Spiny Orb space play.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He uses his Spiny Orb to get rid of the only Orb Space he could overwrite with the orb, Kirby's Goomba Orb space. He rolls a 5 and lands on a Event Space, and meets Locke again who has made his way out of his hiding space.
Locke: It's very nice to see you again. How does this Magic Staff interest you? If you want it, it'll be 15 coins.
Nagito forks over the 15 coins for the Magic StaffMakes the player invisible, which adds a x2 modifier to all dice rolls after they are rolled. , as he ends his turn with 5 coins left.
Locke: It's finally nice to be doing some business. I'll see you later when you come back around.
The bandit makes his leave.
It's Cpt. Spaceboy's turn. A Dice Block appears above his head as it gets forcibly disintegrated by Spaceboy's laser gun. Out falls a 1. He makes a facepalm as he goes towards the Blue Space and receives 3 coins from it.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She hits the Dice Block and gets an 8. Finally getting better Dice Block results, she struts around the island of clubs in order to make sure she can really nail Captain Spaceboy with the Bowlo Orb she has. She picks up a Metal Mushroom OrbPrevents almost all spaces that are created by orb throws from working on the player for one turn. on the way thanks to an Orb Space in her vicinity and soon ends her turn on a Red Space and loses 3 of her coins. She has a comfortable coin lead with over a hundred coins still in tow, so she didn't feel too hurt about the loss.
It's yet another 1-vs-3 mini-game with the solo player being the space pirate Captain Spaceboy!
Turn 18 Mini-Game - Sign, Steal, Deliver (video of minigame)
The players show up at a large apartment complex where two trucks are parked at, both with empty cargo and working conveyor belts. A human courier tells them about the mini-game they are going to play for a wage. Captain Spaceboy is handed over a control pad for a RC drone. The other three players warm up their hands as the Spike driving the blue truck pulls out a bugle and blows into it, signaling the mini-game has begun.- After the minigame ends, the results are tallied. Captain Spaceboy has delivered a total of 14 packages to the red truck, having enjoyed great schadenfreude in snatching away numerous packages from his opposition.
- Kirby, Nagito Komaeda, and Shinrabanshoumon unfortunately were only able to deliver 9 packages in total, resulting in Captain Spaceboy taking yet another mini-game win.
The human courier, being a bit skeptical about Captain Spaceboy in general, still gives her 10 coin wage to Spaceboy and the vigilante takes great delight in his RC drone talents.

aw shit a new turn just two days later
Gold Saucer - Turn 19
It's Kirby's turn. He takes out his Mr. Blizzard Orb from his mouth and throws it straight across towards the other Red Space currently on the island of diamonds. Hitting the Dice Block nets him a 2. Before stopping on the Blue Space right in his direction, he stops by the Capsule Machine for a free orb.
Capsule Machine: OK, I'll give you an Orb. I wonder what you'll get? Here it comes…
The Capsule Machine pops open its mouth. A purple orb nails Kirby in the face as it leaves a purple smog trail behind it, eventually rolling to a stop on the floor of the island.
Capsule Machine: Gasp! It's the Death OrbImmediately goes and transforms a random Red Space into a new Evil Space. !
The Death Orb pounces up into the air and into a Red Space on the island of clubs, a single move right away from the Magic Cardpet Station directly before it.
The Capsule Machine coughs a few times before solemnly apologizing to Kirby about the incident.
Kirby goes towards the Blue Space he is set to land on and gets 3 coins.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He pulls out his Plunder Chest and creaks it open, desiring to steal one of Kirby's items. The Plunder Chest slams itself shut, shakes violently, and pops open its lid again, revealing it had stolen Kirby's Chain Chomp Orb. The Ultimate Lucky Student laughs in elation.
Nagito Komaeda rolls the Dice Block and gets a 7. Being too confident in assuming his move will go smoothly, upon using two of his moves the Dice Block gave him, a Thwomp falls down onto him, forcing his turn to end early. Karma bites back.
The Thwomp Orb trap Kirby set up is no more, as Nagito Komaeda is thrown a bone from the Blue Space that came back to normal. Nagito Komaeda ends his nineteenth turn with 8 coins.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. He pulls out his Podoboo Orb and tosses it behind him one space. He's probably going to try its effect out on Shinrabanshoumon. A Dice Block appears above Spaceboy's head as it gets the zap. Leaving behind a 10 from its corpse, the space pirate zips around the island of clubs, gets a Toady OrbAllows the player to target any of their opponents to swap their own inventory with the intended target's. , and expects to land somewhere safe. He was incorrect, as he ends up on the Evil Space Kirby inadvertently brought forth.
A cackle echoes through the casino as a sinkhole opens under Captain Spaceboy's feet and swallows him into the realm Scarmiglione is residing in.
Scarmiglione: Gahahahaha! Welcome to my abode under this casino floor. You might be a nasty guy, but I'm even nastier! So, you're getting the same treatment as all the other blokes ruining my plans!
The Archfiend of Earth ponders in silence for a moment before coming up with a devious decision.
Scarmiglione: My first order — something they call a Social Revolution. With a cast of this simple blight spell, everything monetary will be equalized. Behold!
An ochre haze permeates the air. A minute later, Spaceboy is trying to get ahold of a headache the giant haze gave him. To his realization, everyone including him now has 43 coins.
Scarmiglione: Let's see how you like being a big boss now!
The demonic quadruped chortles as a small dust devil picks up Spaceboy and returns him back to the Evil Space he was on, now no longer with a sinkhole on it.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She uses her Bowlo Orb and transforms into a spherical rendition of herself. A Dice Block appears above her as she bounces up to hit it. Out comes a 6. The sentient sphere stops for a split moment in order to pick up a Super Mushroom OrbAllows the player to roll three dice blocks instead of one when used. . As the transmogrified sphere that was Shinrabanshoumon attempted to roll towards the Podoboo Orb trap, the Podoboo attempted to light the ball on fire, but it was rolling faster than a bowling ball down a mountain, so they missed their mark. The ball stops on a Blue Space as it returns to its former form: a digital monster. The disappointed Shinrabanshoumon ends her nineteenth turn with 46 coins.
It's a 2-vs-2 mini-game. Nagito Komaeda and Captain Spaceboy duke it out against Kirby and Shinrabanshoumon once again!
Turn 19 Mini-Game - Rowed to Victory (video of minigame)
The players find themselves near a scenic lake. Nitori Kawashiro and Kazuki Yasaka in drag each come to tell one of the teams how the mini-game works. The lake has an island in the middle with a flag and a famished kappa under the shade of it. As they are told to grab a cucumber, the teams of two are ordered to start rowing their boats to get to the island in the middle first. Cheep Cheeps, catfish, and baby umibozu pop up once a while in the lake.
The teams set off, start rowing, and begin competing in the mini-game.- The game is neck-to-neck but Captain Spaceboy and Nagito Komaeda eventually eke out the win by a slight margin.
Fed the cucumber, the kappa gifted the winners 10 coins each, thanking them for the meal, as it was starving.

hold your horses, btw, I'm getting the final results in very soon
Gold Saucer - Turn 20 (Final Turn)
The final turn beckons as Kirby starts his final turn. He hits the Dice Block and rolls a 4, landing on a Red Space.
It's Nagito Komaeda's turn. He pulls out his Magic Staff and then hits the Dice Block. He rolls a 3 on the Dice Block, but the staff he is holding magically pulls his hand around like it was grabbed by another person. The Dice Block roll transforms into a 6. As it is the last turn, Grace has closed up her shop and the Orb Spaces give out nothing. Nagito Komaeda lands on a Blue Space and gets 3 coins.
It's Captain Spaceboy's turn. He thinks about going to the Cardpet Station for a ride to the center of the board, but decides against it due to very likely getting cheated out on the auction by Nagito Komaeda, who is fine with risking all his money on stars due to it being the last turn therefore further stars cannot be collected. He begrudgingly hits the Dice Block normally with his first, breaking a trend done for the previous turns on his end. A 9 comes out of the block. Captain Spaceboy is directed to the Blue Space where his Podoboo Orb space used to be and gets 3 coins.
It's Shinrabanshoumon's turn. She hits the Dice Block and nets a 1. She rolls her eyes and sighs as she walks a few steps over to the Blue Space right next to her and gets 3 coins.
The final turn's mini-game... another 1-vs-3? Let's see how Kirby fares this time around.
Turn 20 Mini-Game - Spotlight Swim (video of minigame)
As Kirby is dropped into a familiar sewer, the Blooper greets the team of three again. Because the four players have played this minigame before and already know the instructions themselves, the team of three go ahead and man the spotlights. Kirby has already put on his snorkelling great, ready to paddle for his life.- However, instead of being caught like Shinrabanshoumon did, Kirby successfully evades the light show long enough for the team of three's spotlights to fizz out and shut down. Kirby has barely made it through the mini-game without being detected by the eyes of the opposing three players.
As the Blooper gets angry and leaves in a huff, a Grimer pokes out of the sewer water Kirby spent his sweet time swimming in and vomits out 10 coins for Kirby to collect. Isn't that a bit unsanitary?

Gold Saucer - Final Results and Epilogue
The 20th turn is finally over as the players, Misstar, and Grace all move back to the start area as the bonus star ceremony commences... right after Misstar goes over the players' coin and star counts first.
Grace: Ugh, I've been tired of waiting. It's finally time for the bonus stars to arrive, yes?
Misstar: The first bonus star is soon to arrive. It is...
A green star with a question mark appears above the players.
Misstar: The Happening Star will be bestowed unto the player who managed to land on the most Happening Spaces. The winner of this star will be...
The Happening Star suddenly makes a double image of itself as it dispenses a star for Kirby and Nagito Komaeda each.
Misstar: What a predicament! It's a two-way tie between Kirby and Nagito Komaeda! You both landed on 5 Event Spaces each.
The next star to arrive is a red star with a Red Space depicted on it.
Grace: How redundant. I guess this Red Star goes to the player who landed on the most Red Spaces, then.
Misstar: Certainly. The winner of the Red Star is...
The Red Star suddenly teleports behind Nagito, who turns around as it gives him a star.
Misstar: Nagito Komaeda with 7 Red Spaces landed on during the board. Looks like you have definitely been thrown a bone here!
Grace: That just leaves one more I assume...
A yellow star with a giant coin on it surfaces.
Misstar: Ah. Here it is — the Currency Star. It will bestow a star upon the player who managed to have the most amount of coins at any one point during the board. The winner of the Currency Star is...
The Currency Star floats around before giving Shinrabanshoumon a star.
Misstar: Shinrabanshoumon with a 121 coin total. What serendipitous luck!
Misstar: Alright, we're done with the bonus star giveaways. We've got a great golden opportunity for a superstar here... let's announce the winner!- Captain Spaceboy gets fourth place, as an ochre platform rises up from below him.
- Shinrabanshoumon gets third place, as a bronze platform rises from below her.
- Kirby gets second place, as a silver platform rises from below him.
- Nagito Komaeda gets first place, as a golden platform rises from below him.
Misstar: Nagito Komaeda is confirmed as our newest Superstar. Here's a Sealing Gil for later... don't worry, we'll make good use of it soon.
A few minutes later, a duel in the crater ensues. Midgarian Barrett attempted to open fire on the Archfiend.
Barret: Die, piece of shit! You don't belong in this world!
Bullets reflect off of the demonic being's hide as it scoffs:
Scarmiglione: Did you really think those puny guns could affect a supernatural force like me? You must have slop for brains.
Misstar: Silence!
The partiers and Misstar have arrived in the crater to tie up loosened ends.
Scarmiglione: You folks again. This time you're all going to pay!
Nagito Komaeda jumps in front of him, confusing Scarmiglione. The giant coin called the Sealing Gil reveals itself as it attempts to suck the Archfiend in. He screams in agony as he demands to be freed.
Scarmiglione: Curse you all! I'd be better off back with Golbez.. But now it seems all of us are going wayward! I assure you all — you haven't seen the last of m—
The deed is done. The Sealing Gil now holds an evil being in its grasp. It buries itself in the depths of the earth to make sure no one can yank it out of the foundation of the casino ever again.
Grace: I must say... that was a spectacular show of talent. Where are you and your cohorts going?
Misstar: I do have to bid farewell to our four partiers for the time being. I do have to make haste towards a familiar area though. We've just gotten notice of issues going on in a distant haunted area.
Grace: I see. I need to make sure I can leave here at one piece as well. It's been nice to meet you actually, I must admit.
Grace modestly blushes as Misstar and the four players exit stage left.
Barret: Hey, gotta get rope here!
Grace immediately goes to see how both of them can get out of the giant hole still left in the Gold Saucer.
Meanwhile...
A distant place... an unknown location... with a lit monochromatic screen illuminating the darkness within the room it was located in.. there lies Ganondorf Dragmire, Demon King plaguing Hyrule and holder of the Triforce of Power. He was watching Scarmiglione fall to the hands of the Star Spirit Misstar and the four partiers she brought along with her. Upon realizing the implications of this clash of ideals and identities, he smashes the screen in a rage.
Ganondorf: If it's a war they want — it's a war I'll give...
He mutters in frustration as he exits the light-losing room.
It's been a pleasure riding with you folks for the past couple years... and we've just gone through only 6 boards. Super slow, unfortunately. Luckily, a seventh one is coming.. and we have to make our way back to TV Tropes to do just that. Next up is Horror Land. If you have the ability to submit your characters there, then go ahead and do so here! See you on the 29th of December!
