The Kitchen
It's an entire kitchen, filled to the brim with food and supplies...it is, of course, also very blue.
Rue: RANGNANGAGNANGG.
"Oh. Whoops."
Rue: He stared coldly at the cake which had just fallen all over the floor. It was now in pieces...and utterly useless.
Tarnish: Tarnish, meanwhile, was absolutely devastated. "NO!!" He cried, falling to his knees as though the world was to end. "THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD WHICH WE HAVE CONSTRUED...DEMOLISHED..."
He glared up at Rue, sniffling. "How could you do this!?"
Rue: "It was an accident. Also, never refer to what we're cooking as "our child" ever again."
Tarnish: "Perhaps to you, that's what it was. But to me..."
He looks to the floor again in distraught. "It was a new ally of the worldburner forces, destined for greatness...now gone forever. How can we move on!? And only hours before the event begins!"
Rue: Siiigh. Working with this guy has definitely been an...experience.
"We can just make another cake. It'll be close, but I don't think it's too late to try again."
Group Chat
Dax: Hey
Dax: So did nobody get picked for the wheel today
Firestarter: SHSSHSHSHSH YOULL REMIND THE FUCK
Dax: I dont think itd forget that easily~
Dax: Im just curious as to why today's been so quiet
The Destroyer: Oh I didn't forget!! Its just that something funny happened.
Seven Stones: When did you have access to the group chat??
The Destroyer: I always did! Anyways, the wheel landed on Jasper...who is dead, so I couldn't zip zoom them away!
The Destroyer: But moments ago did I just finish making a little montage of Jasper's misdeeds. I'll send them to your tablets now!
The Kitchen
Rue: ...And just as he says that, he feels his tablet begin buzzing like a maniac.
Tarnish: His does, too, and both of their attention is taken off the cake for a moment.
02's Dorm
Stranger: Zzzt! Zzzt!
Even while trying to nap before the "big event", Stranger can't catch a break. His tablet also goes off as he blinks, slowly pulling it over to have a look.
The Memory Chamber
Jasper: The screen flickers on. The video is old and a little bit choppy...but the vision is clear as day.
There's Jasper, overlooking what looks to be a terrifying battlefield...no, not just any battlefield, but the outskirts of Serpent City!
Someone is standing next to Jasper...but the video has them entirely blurred out and unrecognizable.
Jasper: "Your debt is almost paid, Jasper." The voice booms. "Your sister is dead...and now, this city will pay."
Jasper seems nervous, tail thumping on the floor next to him.
"I...I guess..."
The unknown prota notices Jasper's uncertainty. "What is it? Is this not what you wanted? What we wanted?"
"...When I...When I let you go, I thought we would make the world a better place...but this just seems more violent."
Jasper: The prota grabs Jasper's cheeks like he's a dog. "Oh, oh, Jasper...we are making the world a better place. The inherent sin of these people is a stench we must snuff out...don't you see?"
Jasper: "I...I-I..."
...The prota lets go of him. "Don't tell me you're trying to quit now. If you do, I'll make sure my little friend takes away your memories and puts *you* in the game. You're not free of any sin either."
Jasper: "N...No, I can't-- I can't go on with this-- any longer---!"
KZZT.
The video cuts out right then and there.
Group Chat
Arsenic: W. What?? What was that!? I never remembered something that violent happening!?
The Destroyer: Man you guys are kind of dumb
The Destroyer: Tldr: I'm working with someone to host this killing game! They took away everyone's memories of themselves, including Jasper, who betrayed them at the last second! And that little "companion" of mine is...one of you! Ta-dah! What a mystery!
Stranger: What the fuck do you mean!?
Stranger: No. There's no way im believing that. Jasper would never support something like this.
The Destroyer: Oh, my sweet little amnesiac
The Destroyer: If only you knew
The Destroyer: Hope you have fun at your party later! We'll be watching~
Seven Stones: Wait hold on
Seven Stones: One of US is working with the prawn
Clober: Huuuh!? But nobody here seems smart enough to do that!
Rue: A few of us are. And some of us could be pretending.
Clober: Of course you would say that, it's probably you lmao
MX-Z0: Please do not start needlessly accusing each other. That's what the prawn probably wants.
