🌙 Night 17 — BIG SHOTS Elimination Ceremony
(After Day 17’s lake chaos and the fatal return of Blobie. The team mourns Thomas Jefferson Miku Binder, tension, and paranoia spike.)

The bonfire is low, casting trembling shadows across the sand. The survivors of BIG SHOTS sit in a heavy silence:

Steve — pale, hands shaking, staring into the fire.

Binah — expression unreadable, a tight jaw, eyes glinting in the reflection of flames.

Luigi — shoulders hunched, whispering apologies into the night.

Retro — muttering to himself, flicking ash into the sand.

Parcelboy — nervously chewing his fingernails, clearly shaken.

Springtrap — leaning forward, almost grinning, still licking his lips as if savoring the chaos.

Spamton — twitching, muttering fragmented spam text in his usual broken cadence.

Junkil D Junkil — jittering, muttering fragmented refrains about freedom and chaos, eyes darting at the dark tree line where Blobie vanished.

Mewo floats above, arms crossed, expression neutral. He doesn’t speak at first, letting the silence sink in. Finally, he breaks it:

Mewo (soft, deliberate):
“Today… you lost more than a challenge. You lost a teammate. Thomas… is gone. The marshmallow ceremony tonight is not about the game. It’s about… survival.”

The remaining members bow their heads.

Confessional Statements (offering votes)

1️⃣ Steve (voice rough):
“Thomas… he didn’t deserve this. He helped… he tried. I… I can’t vote him out. But someone has to go tonight. I… don’t know if I can even do this.”

2️⃣ Binah (calm, clipped):
“Grief doesn’t help. Logic dictates the weak link must go, or chaos consumes us. We… cannot allow instability.”

3️⃣ Luigi (soft, whispering):
“I… I don’t want to choose. I keep thinking if I had moved faster… if I had… maybe he’d still be alive.”

4️⃣ Retro (mumbling, distracted):
“Chaos is bad. Stability is good. Someone… someone has to leave. Maybe… maybe me?”

5️⃣ Parcelboy (stammering):
“I… I don’t want to vote anyone. I can’t. Thomas… Thomas…”

6️⃣ Springtrap (cold, amused):
“Death is a tool. Chaos is… beautiful. But someone must leave. Let it be someone… expendable.”

7️⃣ Spamton (twitching, glitching, spam-text voice):
“F̵R̶EE—fre̵e—n̶O̶…- —— [click click] someone? SOME—B-O-T—yes… exit. EXIT—BIG SHOTS—BIG B̸IG̵—”

8️⃣ Junkil D Junkil (shrieking, maniacal, glitchy):
“F̴R̶EE—D̸O̸M—DO—F̶R̷EE—someone leave… leave… leave… chains… no chains… someone leave! NOOOOO—”

Vote Counting

Mewo floats down slowly, letting each confessional settle. He gestures to the sand, and glowing tally marks appear next to each contestant’s name.

Votes are scattered, but one person clearly has the most: Retro.

Mewo (softly, almost pitying):
“Retro. You are… leaving the island tonight. The rest of you… keep the marshmallows. Reflect on what you’ve learned. And remember… Thomas’s death was not random. Chaos waits in silence.”

Reactions

Retro freezes, then sinks to his knees.
Retro: “I… I didn’t mean… I just wanted to survive…”

Steve puts a trembling hand on his shoulder:
“Stay strong… even when things get… insane. You… you tried your best.”

Binah: “Your incompetence is not personal. Learn from it. Leave quietly.”

Junkil twitches violently, muttering:
“F̴R̴E̶E̵—chains—exit—exit—exit—no chains—NOOO—”

Springtrap whispers to himself:
“Finally… someone… leaves quietly. Most… civilized departure so far.”

Parcelboy whines softly:
“I… I didn’t want this… I didn’t want anyone else to leave…”

Spamton glitches and twitches again:
“EX—EXIT—BIG—B̷I̶G̵—SHOTS—yes yes yes—buy my exit key—”

Luigi whispers softly to the night:
“Rest… Thomas. I hope… you are free now.”

Mewo floats up, hands in his pockets, looking down:
“Goodbye, Retro. May your departure remind the rest… of the fragility of life… and the fragility of sanity.”

Departure

Retro is gently escorted to the “Boat of Losers.” He glances back once at the shore where Thomas’s body was taken, shivering. He steps onto the boat. As it drifts away, the flames of the fire reflect off the water. The remaining team members eat their marshmallows in silence, a bitter, heavy sweetness.
