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!

[He takes it, making a face.]

Uh...I actually haven't started, but...thanks.

[If this earns him one free boat ride...fine. Maybe he could live without the extra gold coin.]

[punchestumors]

No prob.

[He'll go back to munching his own bugs, but you know. Glance over to see how he's doing, because misery loves company.]

[synchrownization]

[He can't understand how that other guy is just munching happily away...how. How. Too bad Hans can't get anyone to eat these things for him.

So, better now than never, time to get it over with. He takes a deep breath, shoves the entire thing into his mouth, and hurriedly begins chewing to make it quick. The ordeal seems to take an eternity but in reality, it's over before he knows it, and he's gasping and just relieved that he's finally done it.]

[punchestumors]

[He sees that look of disbelief. He's not surprised. The reason why Leorio can do it easily is probably not one most people could really understand.

But, three at once?? Leorio whistles appreciatively.]

Damn, you nailed it. You wanna go for the coin too?

[He's joking. Really.]

[synchrownization]

[His expression contorts into one of disgust and he desperately tries to regain what's left of his dignity...]

...No, I think I've still got enough coins. [One is more than enough.]

[punchestumors]

Yeah, they're kinda useless this early aren't they? I'm only going for this one cause it's so easy. It'll only go downhill from here, I bet.

[synchrownization]

...Do you think he'll make us eat bugs like this again, though?

[punchestumors]

Huh? Well... probably not. They're a TV show, so they gotta mix it up to keep viewers interested.

...So if they did bring it back, they'd probably be alive!

[synchrownization]

Urgh...I think this is as far as I can go with bugs. [He holds up the empty skewer.]

[punchestumors]

That's fine. It'll put some hair on your chest.

Anyway, I hope it doesn't come to that too. I don't exactly think this is fun, myself.

[grossing this guy out is good entertainment though. It's almost carried him through his third skewer.]

[synchrownization]

[HE CAN DO WITHOUT THE HAIR ON HIS CHEST, THANKS.]

It's not, but what else can we do?
