DAY 2 - Morning

[islandiastaff]

RISE AND SHINE, CHALLENGERS! Everyone, out of the lounge before it explodes!

[Once again, as soon as everyone's safely out of the lounge, it explodes spectacularly. Notably, there's one fewer of you than there were last night.]

We've got a long, exciting day ahead of us, so let's get the announcements out of the way! First of all, due to a complicated legal dispute, we had no choice but to send Manami Nagano back to her homeworld! Sorry, ma'am, but business is business! She was the Double Agent, so no more worrying about that!

But that's not all! The spies are also hard at work, and their second target was...

[M.C points dramatically, and Shiki Ryougi is sent hurtling into the stratosphere and towards the Loser's Lounge.]

So long, Shiki the Villager! Better luck next time, if we run for a second season!

Comments

[maidensbunraku]

[There is at least another moment before Alice just shakes her head and heads over.]

Somehow I doubt this is even the lowest this whole situation will go.

[Yes..She was considering it but for now decided not to bow to this level just yet.]

[synchrownization]

[Hans recoils at the beetles. Ugh, this is so not chocolate fondue or sandwiches.]

...

[But at least it'd be over quickly and he'd be over to the next lounge. Okay, Hans, you got this. Totally easy. He slowly reaches for a skewer...]

[respring]

Ah...I couldn't bring myself to do it, no.

[ bugs ]

Isn't it difficult to move with all of those layers, though?

[respring]

Well...eating bugs is pretty gross. You think they have other things up their sleeves?

[ if you get her implications ]

[punchestumors]

[Leorio's on his second skewer, looking over curiously as he forces the first bug down. Not that he paid total attention to all the profiles, but his selective money minded memory does kick in for some things - wasn't that guy royalty or something? SURPRISING.]

Havin' some trouble getting in there?

[He'll just hand him one then. Here you go pal.]

[schwings]

Just pretend they're cakes. ♣

[schwings]

It's quite pathetic how you people are willing to swallow your dignity just to be a little lazy. ♥

[punchestumors]

Keronian, huh....

[Sounds pretty froggy still.]

It's a small multiverse, I guess. Is it hard eating it through the mask?

[schwings]

[The "hard way" never looked particularly hard to him, and he wasn't in the mood to eat insects just for a little luxury. Besides, he wondered what kind of people would be left here.]

I hope I won't be having to hear you whine the whole way there. ♦

[wildrhythm]

Pretending those things are cakes would be an insult to cakes!

[schwings]

[Picks up a BIG OLE JUICY BEETLE and holds it up for her.]

Do you know where they get the coloring of red velvet cake from? It's from the shells of ground up beetles. ♦

[wildrhythm]

YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON

[zerotodoro]

What do you mean?

[nibble, nibble, swallow]

[punchestumors]

All riiight! Go for it! Before they get cold! Hey, I heard cruise ships are supposed to have pretty good food!

Re: THE HARD WAY

[zerotodoro]

[Wait, didn't he eat some insects? So why is he here?]

If you have any items, please put them in my backpack so they can stay dry during the trip.

[fullonbraced]

Y-yeah... [Robin nodded weakly. She was in agreement with you, Axel.] Yucky...

[fullonbraced]

S-shut up, man! I'm trying to concentrate!

[Aaaaand here she goes, sort of... gnawing on that skewer now.

Mmmmmm this is awful.]

[fullonbraced]

Totally!

[Mostly because she wasn't sure she'd survive that trip....]

Are... are you gonna try?

[fullonbraced]

W-whoooa! Three?! Already?!

[schwings]

[Squishes beetle...]

What? I thought it would make it easier for you. I guess that was my mistake~ ♣

Re: THE CHALLENGE

[carptricks]

[S. . . STARES AT THE BUGS]

[is it worth it]

. . .

Y'know, they do say exercise is good for you.

[carptricks]

Sssso. . .

What'd it taste like?

[he's still debating the merits of actually going through with this, he wants second opinions]

[maidensbunraku]

More then likely. It's better to assume so then to hope that they are not going to degrade us more then they have.

[Gathering her items as well at this point because yeah..Hiking is better at this rate.]

[maidensbunraku]

[Have a line face at that.]

If someone is whining, they didn't intend on ever being here at this rate.

Re: THE CHALLENGE

[skyentist]

Scientifically speaking, shellfish are a lot closer to insects from a biological standpoint than they are to true fish.

[Why yes, that is Ema taking one of the bug skewers from the grill.]

And at least these seem to have been cooked.

[MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.]

Bleh.

[That was pretty gross, actually. But she's on the boat!]
