The Murder Challenge

[PopcornPie]

"Can I leave this room too? I don't like to feel crowded. But I won't try to escape prison, promise!"

[PointMaid]

Thanks!

Selen(ium) puts the guitar away and goes to the kitchen to get some water to drink.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Gotta find my room, too...

[PopcornPie]

Well, seeing as everyone else was making their way out of storage, Entrapta invited herself to the basement. "Wow, what a strange prison. We don't even have our ID numbers yet, and I don't see any cells! Or was the room we just left our cell? Hm. Doesn't sound very hygenic to have thirteen individuals sharing a cell..."

[Guma]

im gonna go to the gym dont come talk to be about my sad backstory

[Caret]

"WELL. I BETTER EXPLORE THIS TAILOR-MADE PRISON IF I WANT TO SURVIVE. AND MAYBE MAKE SOME VIDEOS."

> check out the video set

[PopcornPie]

"Well, I don't see my cell down here, either. What a cut-rate prison. Maybe it was just built. Either way, they need to get some funding for this place." She actually seems a little annoyed now. At least the Horde's prison was an actual prison!

(Gundham wakes up entirely too late.)

Kh... Who dares interrupt the slumber of Gundham Tanaka, Lord of Ice?!

Kanade has packed her guitar into a room and made something out of random stuff in the kitchen...

... I wonder why we're all here....

> goes out to find her bedroom... And something to eat, too. (MP)

I'm not going to question your morals of getting kidnapped and immediately looking for a snack and a bed like you're crashing at a friend's place, instead, you are successful in finding food around the house, but the bed situation you can't find.

> check out the video set (Caret)

There's many famous sets from their videos. A bedroom set, a kitchen set for slime pranks, two animation desks, some leftover props, and cameras and mics.

> Look in the laundry room for her iconic orange jumpsuit (PopcornPie)

...I hope you didn't expect to find your clothes at a random guy's house, because you didn't. You find the next best thing, someone's random orange shirt. It seems to fit. Do you want to wear it?

>look around game room (Zan)

There's an air hockey table and football table in the middle. Lined against the wall are arcade games, claw machines, and pinball machines. In shelves are board game.

[PopcornPie]

She slides on the shirt. It's orange. It'll do.

> Slip out and investigate the movie theater

[Dookie]

> Slip out and investigate the movie theater (PopcornPie)

It's a small theater with only 3 rows of 5 seats, but the screen was very big for a normal house. It looked like a good place to watch a film.

[TalesofUnder]

(Gundham approaches Kanade.)

You, with the rose-tinted hair! What is your mortal moniker?!

[Caret]

"...A KITCHEN FOR SLIME PRANKS. WHAT A DISGRACE TO THE FINE ART OF COOKING! WHY USE SHYREN's MUCUS WHEN YOU CAN MAKE A REAL CAKE OUT OF EGGS, SUGAR, MILK, AND HUMAN SOUL SUBSTITUTE?"

> investigate the gym

[PopcornPie]

"Woooooow! A giant screen, just like the ones I have in my castle! But I don't see a console beneath it." She lifted herself on the tippy-tips of her ponytails to admire the silver screen. "A screen that isn't used for neither science nor monitoring a battle? What purpose does this serve? Oh! Maybe it's surveilance."

> Attempt to change channels

[PointMaid]

...Human soul substitute? Is that a band? I should know that.

Selen(ium) keeps sipping water in the kitchen.

(Gundham approaches Kanade.)

You, with the rose-tinted hair! What is your mortal moniker?!

... Kanade Otonokoji.
... Why do you ask?

[Dookie]

> investigate the gym (Caret)

It's...a gym. There are mainly exercise balls, treadmills, weightlifts, and one of those stair climbing thingies.

> Attempt to change channels (PopcornPie)

You turn the television on Using a remote found in the upper section of the theater) to find the end of an episode of the beloved television classic Mush-Mush & the Mushables.

[PopcornPie]

Entrapta watches it with a pure wall-eyed expression. "What is this strange window to other dimensions..?"

[Kennifer]

The tall young woman with the pink-and-purple-streaked blonde hair finally wakes. Why it took her so long to wake up, who knows.

"Ugh... what the..."

She pulls herself up into a sitting position and glances around, looking decidedly uncomfortable with... whatever happened to get her here.

[Caret]

Mettaton rolls up to Entrapta, his lights displaying a frown

"DARLING, THAT'S A TV. A TV IS AN DEVICE FOR RECEIVING THE LATEST ENTERTAINMENT. WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS A RECORDING, NOT ANOTHER DIMENSION! BY THE WAY, YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MTT SHOW, WHICH IS WRITTEN, DIRECTED, AND PRODUCED BY ME!"

[PopcornPie]

"Entertainment? Like painting and stage shows entertainment?" Entrapta tilted her head. Screens were never used as entertainment in Etheria, it was considered a waste of materials. A lot of things were considered wastes of materials, actually, what with the war and all. Even after the war ended, no one had thought to start using these practical devices for not-practical things. "Okay, let's try to find your show. I have this weird remote that lets me switch between dimensions. Um, I meant recordings."

[PointMaid]

By now, Selen(ium) is wandering around the house writing some lyrics on her phone. She notices the newcomer and waves.

[Florien]

Finally, a strange creature dressed in aggressively white clothes with pinkish-white hair and wearing a slightly ridiculous hat gets up, and quickly evaluates the situation, before immediately looking into an on-looking camera and speaking.

The GLOWIES. They've come for me at last, Mizheldtiv! We will get through this one. No pump today I am afraid, but remember, the glowies are trying to intimidate you all by capturing me like this. Keep out of their clutches, and remember, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of soul!

It speaks with a strange accent, pronouncing "glowies" as one syllable, closer to "glaze" than anything, and sounds that would be "ch" come out more as a "zh".
