Theatre Room
This room appears to be a massive theatre. Countless seats litter the room, more than the silly little cast could ever fill. You seem to have come in through the lower entrance, right next to the stage...there looks to be an entrance to the upper floor somewhere, but it's inaccessible for now.
Stranger: He, Bryan, and Ivan enter the room, only to see that everyone else has already arrived.
"Well, looks like there'll be less of a wait this time, at least."
Jasper: "Stranger! That's, uh, what we're calling you now, right?" He waves from near the stage.
Stranger: "I guess. What else do we have to call me?" He lets out a small giggle as he makes his way over. "I hope that whatever happened in the empty room didn't scare you too much, kid."
Jasper: "It was overwhelming, to say the least...b-but I think I'm fine."
The Destroyer: "Good! Cause we have no time to waste!"
Seven Stones: "Oh, geez...is it already here?"
The Destroyer: And indeed it was.
The podium appears, and so does the prawn. They seem giddier than usual...
The Destroyer: "Oh, the suspense is overwhelming! Our first card draws, and our first motive! I can feel our audience wriggling in their seats, ready for the fun to begin!"
MX-Z0: "...Card draws?"
Paradi: "Motives?"
The Destroyer: "Ugh, so many questions, so little time! Now, If I am to explain..."
The Destroyer: From what can only be described as "appearing out of their ass", sixteen cards appear from behind The Destroyer, floating in the air.
The Destroyer: "It's simple! When the first motive starts, I will give out these cards at the same time. They can either help or harm you, and I won't tell you what they do! The only way you can learn what a card does is to figure it out yourself...feel free to share what card you got. Or don't. Either or could help or harm you!"
The Destroyer: The cards fly out, and randomly give themselves to one person in the crowd...
Stranger: As the cards float around and make their way to everyone's hands...
...A card titled The Wren makes their way into his arms.
The Destroyer: "Oooh! You got that one!" The Destroyer comments, facing Stranger. "That's the only one I won't make you guess on-- It's a phone-a-friend card! Once up until after the next trial, you're free to call on me to help you! It doesn't matter what it is, so long as it doesn't break the rules of the game!"
Stranger: "...Huh." He feels a fear he didn't know he had leave him...he has a feeling he got off pretty lucky.
Jasper: Especially considering the perplexed face Jasper is wearing, staring at his card. "The...Faithless? What does that even mean?"
The Destroyer: "Who knows!" He laughs, as the cards abruptly vanish into thin air. "The effects of these cards will last until someone kills! So if you don't like your card, then perhaps you should consider it...or maybe the motive I have will help with that."
The Destroyer: And then, a series of blue and red papers pop out from behind him...in a manner similar to the cards moments before.
The Destroyer: "I hope you all like playing Truth or Dare!"
Paradi: "Truth or Dare...? How is that a motive?"
The Destroyer: "If you guys would shut up for five seconds, I would tell you!" They snap.
The Destroyer: "...Anyways, it's simple! In a few moments, you'll receive a truth or a dare you must complete in the next 5 days. It can be suuuper easy...or super hard! And if you fail to complete it in the next 5 days, you will die. Easy as that!"
The Destroyer: The truth and dares fly into everyone's hands...
"Oh, and feel free to share what you got if you wish...perhaps someone is willing to lend a helping hand. Or not! I don't control what you guys do!"
Stranger: And so, he receives a blue note...
...
"...Huh!?"
Stranger: This is a riduculous dare...!? It's doable, but...why!?He looks at the faces of everyone else, and sees a mix of confusion, anger, and...dread.
Jasper: "S-Swim 30 laps...!? I don't even know how to swim that well..."
The Destroyer: "Welp, too bad! Remember, 5 days to do it or you get the axe! Have fuuuun~!"
Bryan: "W...Wait, hold on-"
The Destroyer: Poof!
Stranger: ...
MX-Z0: "...If you don't mind me asking, Stranger, what did you get?" She says, clutching the red paper she was holding.
Stranger: ...He slowly flips his paper around for her to see.
"Meow."
MX-Z0: "...Pff...pffft..."
The robot can't help but let out little electronic chuckles.
Firestarter: "BAHAHAHAA!!" Firestarter laughs as she peeks over, flapping her arms in what appears to be delight. "Oh, oh...you got off lucky, old guy!"
MX-Z0: "Did he? What did you happen to receive?"
Firestarter: "A stupid dare telling me I can't set ANYTHING on fire for the next 5 days! How can I stand that!? It's in my name!"
Lotus: "I-I mean, if you do, you'll die...!"
Firestarter: "...Holy shit, you're right! And if I die, I can't set anything ablaze!...I guess some sacrifices have to be made."
Jasper: "W-Wait, we didn't just receive dares, right?...Some of us received truths."
MX-Z0: She paused for a moment.
"...Yes. And one of them is me. Anyone who received a red paper seems to have gotten a truth, and the blue papers are dares."
Jasper: "You got a truth? ....What is it?"
MX-Z0: "...We have five days to admit what we have to. Perhaps I'll tell you when I'm ready."
Jasper: "Right-" He stutters, trying to put on a brave face. "If, uh...if anyone needs help with their truths or dares, you can call on me!" He announces. "I don't want anyone to die from this..."
Dax: "Well, I know I certainly won't die."
Jasper: "...?"
Dax: As if dancing his way onto the stage, Dax lets out a low chuckle. All eyes are on the bizarre boy...who hasn't said a word since they got here.
"Because I fucking love cats."
Firestarter: "Ehh!?"
She squints as Dax spreads his arms out, revealing what's written on his red slip.
"Dax: You must confess your love of cats and provide 20 reasons as to why they are better than dogs."
Dax: "There are so many reasons why cats are better than dogs. And I'm here to tell all of you why~"
Jasper: How does he have 20 reasons thought up already!?
Dax: "First of all, cats are much easier to care for. No walkies, no playing silly games like "fetch", they can do all of that on their own. Second, they're very pretty. I've never seen an ugly looking cat in my life, meanwhile chihuahuas literally exist. And third of all, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah-"
...Around half of the people have left already, with everyone remaining watching only for their own amusement. They seem only kind of annoyed by this.
Dax: "...and that's why cats are better than dogs."
...Wow. That took about 4 hours, was way more than 20 points, and its a miracle his voice is still functioning.
Seven Stones: Seven Stones, the only person who was still there after all this time, is asleep in their chair.
Dax: "...Oops. Looks like I got carried away."
And just like that, they walk off, not bothering to even wake the guy up.
