A massive room of metal bunk beds. 456 contestants in green tracksuits. Fluorescent lights hum overhead.

The important ones slowly gather… whether they mean to or not.

🟢 Luigi vs The Anxiety of 455 Strangers

Luigi sits stiffly on the edge of a bunk.

Luigi: “O-Okay… this is fine… just a big room full of strangers… not haunted… probably…”

From the top bunk, a small glowing creature peers down.

Ori: soft curious trill

Luigi: “AH—! Oh! Oh! You’re… adorable. Not a ghost, right?”

Ori gently pats his hat.

Luigi visibly relaxes.

🟢 Luigi’s Attempt at Unity

Luigi stands shakily.

Luigi: “M-Maybe we could, y’know… work together?”

Silence.

Susie: “Temporary alliances.”

Artificer: “Until unnecessary.”

Eggman: “Until I win.”

Rory: “Until BETRAYAL FOR RATINGS!”

Molten Freddy:
“I LOVE BETRAYAL.”
“No we do not.”
“WE MIGHT.”

Luigi slowly sits back down.

🌿 Ori Approaches Gabriel

Ori glows softly.

Gabriel: “…You are light.”

Ori nods.

Gabriel: “…I once served it.”

A quiet beat.

🩸 Skrunkly Climbs the Ceiling

Skrunkly: “I LOVE CHAOS.”

She rips off her hand briefly and forms a green blade.

Gasps ripple across bunks.

Scrimblo: “Put it back on.”

She does.

Skrunkly: “Okay!”

💣 Artificer Observes

Artificer scans the room coldly.

Artificer: “Most of you will not survive.”

Luigi: “W-Why would you say that?!”

Artificer: “Statistical inevitability.”

Molten Freddy:
“I LIKE THOSE ODDS.”
“No, Freddy.”
“We do not like those odds.”
“ODDS ARE FOR GAMBLING!”

⚔️ Gabriel & The Beheaded

Gabriel: “You carry yourself without fear.”

The Beheaded: “I literally can’t die permanently.”

Gabriel: “Convenient.”

The Beheaded: “You look like you can.”

Gabriel’s halo flickers ominously.

🥜 peepy Steals the Moment

Eggman’s glasses vanish.

peepy is on a top bunk wearing them.

Eggman: “WHAT— GIVE THOSE BACK!”

peepy stares blankly.

Drops them.

Steals Gabriel’s tassel instead.

Gabriel: “…You are bold.”

🦈 Zap Tries to Flex

Zap cracks his knuckles.

Zap: “I’m the strongest here.”

Artificer throws a tiny explosive pebble at his feet.

BOOM.

Zap regenerates instantly.

Zap: “…See?”

Susie: “Yeah but you still look stupid.”

🔥 Mozumi & Ashfur Energy

Mozumi hops onto a table.

Mozumi: “THIS IS SO EXCITING. HIGH STAKES. DRAMA. POSSIBLE DEATH.”

Ashfur: (gentle) “Mozumi, maybe tone it down.”

Mozumi: “I CAN’T FEEL FEAR OR PAIN, THIS IS JUST FUN.”

Ori looks worried.

🪞 Sector Attempts Intelligence

Sector’s glass segments wobble.

Sector: “what if… we all just win.”

Silence.

The Beheaded: (head detached, rolling on floor) “That’s not how this works.”

Sector: “oh.”

They shapeshift into a door.

Immediately shatter.

Reform.

Sector: “oops.”

🐘 The Elephant in the Room

A bunk creaks loudly.

Everyone turns.

It’s the elephant.

Silence.

Scrimblo: “…We’re not gonna talk about that?”

Skrunkly: “I WANNA PET HIM.”

Luigi: “I-I think we’re supposed to address the elephant in the room…”

The elephant raises his trunk proudly.

🥚 Dr. Eggman Sizes Up the Room

Eggman adjusts his glasses.

Eggman: “Hmph. Pathetic rabble.”

Gabriel: (appearing beside him instantly) “Arrogance is unbecoming.”

Eggman nearly falls backward.

Eggman: “WHA— WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!”

Gabriel: “I am everywhere I must be.”

Eggman: “You’d make an excellent power source.”

Gabriel slowly rests his hand on the hilt of Justice.

Eggman coughs.

Eggman: “…Purely theoretical.”

📺 Rory Nyte vs Markiplier

Rory’s eye flickers like a camera lens.

Rory: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHAT A CAST! The tall nervous one, the glowing mascot, the EXPLOSIVE CAT—”

Markiplier: “Hey. I’m the content creator here.”

Rory: “Oh? A rival host?”

Markiplier: “I’ve survived animatronics before.”

Slow turn toward Molten Freddy.

Molten Freddy:
“ANIMATRONICS? WHERE?”
“Freddy, he means us.”
“WE ARE FAMOUS?”

Markiplier: “…I regret speaking.”

🐕 HMAS Dog Makes a Statement

The grey dog hops onto a lower bunk.

Silence.

He stares at the room.

HMAS Dog:
“He made a statement so inspiring even his gang respected him.”

Everyone pauses.

Zap: “What does that even mean?”

HMAS Dog:
“He made a statement so mid even his opps ignored him.”

Luigi: “…I kinda like him.”

🧵 Molten Freddy Enters the Chat

A tangle of wires drags across the floor.

Everyone slowly turns.

Molten Freddy:
“HELLO NEW FRIENDS—”
“Freddy, indoor voice.”
“I AM USING MY INDOOR VOICE!”
“This environment is hostile.”
“HOSTILE IS EXCITING!”

A background contestant faints.

Molten Freddy:
“Oh dear, did we do that?”
“Yes.”
“WE SHOULD APOLOGIZE.”
“No, we should assess threats.”
“I LIKE THE TALL LIZARD.”

Susie squints.

Susie: “You talkin’ about me, spaghetti bear?”

Molten Freddy:
“Yes!”
“No.”
“Perhaps.”
“Freddy, stop antagonizing the reptile.”

💥 Susie Claims Territory

Susie kicks a metal bed frame.

Susie: “Alright, listen up! If anyone snores, I’m blasting ‘em.”

Across the aisle—

Artificer: (flatly) “Noise discipline is advised.”

Susie: “Oh yeah? And who made you hall monitor?”

Artificer silently creates a small explosive rock in her paw.

The rock hisses.

Susie: “…Okay that’s kinda cool.”

Not reading that essay 😂🎉

🚨 Loudspeaker Crackles

“ATTENTION PLAYERS. FIRST GAME WILL BEGIN SHORTLY.”

The room goes quiet.

Even Rory lowers his volume.

Even Skrunkly stops bouncing.

Even Molten Freddy… whispers.

Molten Freddy:
“Showtime?”

Lights dim slightly.

Doors open.

Guards enter.

The elephant shifts nervously.

Ori glows brighter.

Gabriel’s wings flicker faintly.

Luigi gulps.

Luigi: “…O-Okay… I can do this.”

The guards gesture.

“Please proceed to the game hall.”

456 players rise.

Metal bunks creak.

Footsteps echo.

The doors slide open.

And the social hour… ends.
