The Murder Challenge

[Kennifer]

"I... don't want to think about that."

Michelle shudders.

[TenOfSwords13]

I do not have a neck, foolish mortal. That suggestion is void

[Zanreo]

"i actully got possesd 0nce but thta crown is gone now... i think at laest"

[PopcornPie]

Seems that Entrapta has calmed down for the most part. It's a little...eerie, really. "Well, this is a shame. I like you people. I'll try to protect you, but without my tech, I don't know how much I can do. You can try shielding yourselves with my hair."

[PointMaid]

Selen(ium) is just kinda... lying down on the floor with her guitar on top of her. Her eyes are wide and occasionally she'll strum a chord.

[Oggy123]

"Gulp."

[Dookie]

"Time's up for voting! Let's see what we've got"

"Alright. So One member got no votes at all, Four got 1 vote, One got two votes, and One got four votes."

He turns the screen to HDMI2, which is a board showing three factors: RANKING, PERSON, and AMOUNT OF VOTES.

"Let's see who's gotten what."

He presses a button on the remote, causing the board to show this:

RANKING: PERSON: AMOUNT OF VOTES:
7 Jenny 0
6 Ezekiel 1
5 Aubrey 1
4 Donna 1
3 Asher 1
2 Martin 2
1 Tony 4

"Welp. Time for our first death."

[PopcornPie]

"Oh. Well then. Bye, Tony." Entrapta couldn't help but wonder if Tony would be reborn somewhere else, too.

[Kennifer]

"...I don't have to look, do I?"

[PopcornPie]

"This was the entirely wrong choice, in my opinion. Donna doesn't sound like she'll be much help." She looks on with disappointment.

[PointMaid]

Selen(ium) doesn't look like she wants to watch, but looks up from her guitar just enough to see what's going on...

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Kanade averts her eyes with her own guitar...

[Zanreo]

Hypercam just... tries not to look

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta considers shielding her eyes with her hair, but figures she'll be forced to watch one way or another, so she keeps her eyes on the screen.

[Kennifer]

Michelle shuts her eyes and covers her ears, she's... not going to watch this if she doesn't have to.

[TenOfSwords13]

Ctharlak watches with great interest

[Florien]

Bywyn has apparently lost interest in the upcoming killing, and is instead rifling through a duffle bag of pills and remedies, only occasionally turning to look at the screen.

[Zanreo]

Hypercam has covered up his lens/eye, and is trying not to listen.

[Dookie]

"Let's see how this goes!" He says with a smile.

---

"Is it possible to be bored and anxious at the same time?"

"I understand how you feel. I feel it too."

"I hope the prank ends soon. I'm scared."

"He's done pranks like this before. He knows how to do a prank. This isn't it."

Suddenly, he comes in.

"Hey, all!"

"What are you doing?"

"Tony, could I borrow you for a second for a prank?"

"What are you doing? he's not leaving until you tell us."

'"I'm not? Isn't that my decision?"

"Nah dude, wait."

Nobody speaks for a second.

"It's a prank. it's all a prank. I'm taking fan requests for a prank. Sorry if you guys hate me now. I'm a bit of a jerk, aren't I? Now, Tony, I need to film part of the video."

Tony gets up.

"What are you doing? He's gone insane!"

"He literally just told you it's a prank, dumbass. Were you listening?"

"...Fine. I wasn't."

"Something still might be up, though."

"Look, he's taking fan requests for a prank, so that's why we're getting all the mixed ways of pissing us off."

He looks at Jamie.

"By no means am I on your side, you're a piece of shit for doing this. And I'm gonna let you have it, but...at least we know you're all right."

"Thanks, man. I'm...I'm sorry. We can talk with each other as a group later on this."

"Ok."

"Fine."

"You know you're probably in hot water for this."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ok, bye."

He smiles ominously shuts the door.

---

"So what do you want me to do?"

'I've got a chair set up near the pool. I'm gonna dump a bucket of slime on your head."

He goes to the pool and sits down on the chair.

"Also, I'm gonna need to blindfold you."

"Why?"

"'Cause then it's more believable that you didn't know this was gonna happen."

"So dude, why did you do all that shit?"

"Fan requests," he says as he fishes something out of his pocket.

"Oh. Fans can be a bit shitty, though. You know you didn't have to do any of that."

"Yeah. I was a bit stupid. But once you've already committed to it, there's no sense in going back." He's fishing another thing out of his pocket.

"You won't do this again, right?"

"Right."

Jamie reloads.

Tony takes off his blindfold.

"Dude, what are you-OH MY GO-

*BANG*

He's down. he tried running, but he's fallen.

"AAAAAAAAA! HOLY SH-"

*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*

---

The 6 still alive hear the gunshots. Aubrey immediately tries breaking the windows open with a hammer. No use.

"IT'S NOT WORKING!"

"What are you doing???"

"Oh my god, someone just got shot!"

"The guy just told us he was pranking us. you think this isn't a prank?"

"Wait..."

"What's happening? What's happening?"

"Guys! Watch!"

She throws a hammer at the window. Instead of breaking it, it just bounces off.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Oh shit..."

Jamie opens the door to the room.

"Hello..."

"What do you want from us?"

"Oh, nothing. Just a little bit of fun!"

"Fun??? You think this is fun?"

"Yep. And we've only done the first part! It gets better from here!"

Ezekiel lunges to punch him in the face, but as he does, Jamie disappears.

"Where'd he go?"

"...Something is wrong. Something is terribly, terribly wrong."

[PopcornPie]

Assuming everyone in the theater could see this-the part where Tony was shot, anyway-Entrapta swallowed thickly. "So that's what's going to happen to each killer. He didn't seem very okay with it, either..."

[PointMaid]

Selen(ium) couldn't watch, she turned away. And cringed when she heard the shots.

[Caret]

Mettaton is left nearly speechless after witnessing Tony's execution.

"I HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR OUR LOYAL VIEWERS AT HOME! SMASH THE FLAG BUTTON! I REPEAT, REPORT THIS VIDEO NOW SO LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL RESCUE ME!"

Is that going to help? Probably not, but even some false assurance right now would make Mettaton feel better.

[Zanreo]

Hypercam might not have seen what happened, but the screams and gunshot sounds told him all he needed to know. "wtf? n-nooo!... i cnat believe youd actually..."

He then hears Mettaton... "yeah metta here is rite! if u current watch this you know wat u gotta d0, jus smash dat MF FLAG BUTTON! lets get tihs repored bcos well isnt it obvius?"

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Kanade quickly panics after seeing the horrible sight of the execution...

PLEASE GET US OUT OF HERE! WE ARE IN IMINENT DANGER AND ABOUT TO DIE AT ANY MOMENT!

[Kennifer]

"Was that... that was real, wasn't it... I'm not looking, but... well, it sounded real and as much as I'd like to believe it was just really good sound effects..."
