"Hello, and welcome to the Totally Normal Gameshow! Here to start the party is... wow that's a unique name, it's Spooky!"
"Why thank you! I came up with it myself!"
"Next up on our list to bring the drinks is... Agent Phoenix? Alright!"
Phoenix simply waves, holding quite a few alcoholic beverages in his hands.
"This is longer than what I usually do, but crashing the party tonight is Vernias!"
"Hi! I don't think I signed up for this!"
"Bringing snacks and a general good vibe, it's Kasper!"
"Wh0'z K4zp3r bruh? X-X 1t's Inf3cted! :P"
"Sure it is, next up, bringing very illegal substances that I cannot name, we have Ame!"
"I only agreed to this for the publicity..."
"Of course, what's a party without a downer? We have... am I reading this right? Shrimpo!"
"I HATE GAME SHOWS!"
"Oh wow, he's actually a shrimp, okay. And, last but definately not least, we have the guy that was dragged here, Sebastian!"
"Where the **** am I? I didn't agree to this!"
"Sure you didn't. And of course, your host, me! I've been here the whole time."
...
"Yeah, but what's your name?" The pink haired Youtuber spoke up. "Sam Reich! I guess not as popular as once thought huh?" The host said, edging on satire dissapointment. "Where are we? Why are we here?" The angler shopkeeper demanded for an answer.
"Calm yourselves! It's simple, you're here for a game show!"
"I HATE THIS ALREADY!" The shrimp butted in.
"C00li0 dude-br0! ^v^" The sickly man commented.
"Ohh!! I love games!" The ghost girl perked up.
"Can we get this over with?" The chronic streamer hung her head low.
"The rules are simple, answer questions about each others orgins, complete challenges, and earn points!" Sam said, enthusiasm invading his voice. Phoenix began to sign towards a cast member, who translated for the sake of me not having to have him be too OOC while also not having him be unable to speak. 'What do we earn if we win?'
"That's the surprise! Nobody knows! Now, lets get this started! Starting with 1 person at a time questions, Spooky!"
A screen lit up, with the text:
"Name a dangerous entity from Sebastian's origin."
"Hmmm... well, he's rather fish like, right? Not too unlike my Specimen 13, except also pretty unlike 13, but I'll guess... a siren?"
...
"I'm sorry, that is not correct."
"Bull****! That Eyefestation is a siren wannabe! Wouldn't she count?"
"We were looking for names or more accurate descriptions, sorry."
"Well how will any of us know anything about each other? Even if these nerds studied everything about their world, they'd never learn a thing about MY world, or hers, or his!" Ame then pointed towards Spooky and Kasper.
"Well... actually..." Vernias mumbled.
"What's that?" Ame asked.
"I uh... you guys all exist in my... 'origin', you could say."
"How is that possible?" Sebastian continued the conversation.
"Well, it's weird. You all are like... video game characters... for me?"
...
"I HATE QUESTIONING MY EXISTENCE!" Shrimpo shouted, cutting through the sudden silence of the room. "Well, I think we better continue the show before somebody has a breakdown. Next up, Phoenix!"
The screen read:
"What is a possible ending for Ame?"
Phoenix pondered a little, then began to sign. 'Well, she looks about as mentally deranged as they can come.' "NO I DON'T?" 'So I wouldn't be shocked if she needed therapy.'
"That... is correct!" A ding sounded as a point was added to Phoenix's podium. "I HATE PEOPLE HAVING MORE POINTS THAN ME!"
"Up next, Vernias! Is Shrimpo, in his origin, counted as a main toon?"
"That guy? I doubt they'd even make him good! No way."
"That's correct and a point for Vern! Now, Kasper!"
"1t'z Inf3ct3d, bruh! ו×"
"Sure, Infected... this one is mighty dark, but... who murdered Spooky?"
"Oh, dude, low blow. No need to remind me of that."
"Hmmm... 1 w0uldn't kn0w!! H4v3n't zeen th1z gh0sty 1n mah lif3!"
"Well sadly that is not what we were looking for, we needed 'her father' to score a point."
"Oh dear... that's- Jesus..." Vernias replied in shock. "It's fine. I've gotten over it. It was my fault anyway, I wanted to scare him and well... triggered something other than a fear response."
"...Well moving on from that trauma dump!"
The show continued, after that long dialouge heavy segment, with most people still messing up their questions. How was Shrimpo supposed to know Vernias' real name, and how was Sebastian supposed to guess that Phoenix has almost died over 18 times? How did they expect Ame to know that Kasper hated Unpleasant? The trivia section was rather unfair, and guesses were hit or miss, mainly miss.
Soon, however, they arrived at the challenges round.
"Contestants, our first challenge, that finally isn't about another mans life, is..." Sam then pulls out a comically large spoon. "How far can you throw one of our special guests for today, arriving late and leaving early is Ikabod Kee!"
"WHY HELLO!" Ik excitedly said. "I'm very joyous to be somewhere other than my amazing hotel! Not that I don't like it, of course, I just haven't been able to talk to anyone in quite some time!"
"I HATE THIS GUY ALREADY!"
"YOU HATE EVERYTHING! SHUT UP!" Sebastian snapped at the tiny shrimp.
"YOU SMELL LIKE FISH. I HATE FISH!"
"YOU'RE LITERALLY A SHRIMP!"
"Oh dear, am I interrupting?" The ash spirit asked. "No they're just being dumb." Sam reassured Ik.
Shrimpo and Sebastian proceeded to argue for 10 minutes, Phoenix and Ame betting on who'd give up first. "Uh, guys?" Vern asked, trying to break up the fight. "GUYS!" He began to shout, being ignored the first time.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT, YOU PINK *****?" Sebastian yelled, riled up from his fight. "We need to do the God damn challenge! You morons have been fighting WAYYY too long!" He exclaimed. Phoenix and Ame were deciding who won based off the complication.
Once Sebastian and Shrimpo finslly calmed down, it was off to chucking Ik with all their might. Of course, everyone was at a huge disadvantage compared to the absolute beast that Sebastian was, hurling the small ash boy right at the ceiling. Ik, of course, recovered fine, because he already died! He couldn't die AGAIN, right?
After that massive throw, Ik was sent back off, of course saying bye personally to everyone, inviting Spooky to come over sometime, as he heads back to where he came. "Well... after that I'm not sure I WANNA bring out the other guest."
"Too late! He's already here!" A voice called out from set, that voice, of course, because you read the tags and knew this was coming, belonging to Will Wood himself.
"Ooooookay then, everyone promise, and I mean PINKY promise, that we wont be fighting this time."
Everyone made their promise, Spooky making an oath despite not knowing what it was. This challenge, was... uncompleted.
"Uhh, my script just says 'Will Wood can make the challenge for all I care', is that?"
"No yeah, that's an error." A crew member confirmed. "Well what do we do?"
"I mean... you think I can't make a challenge? I totally can!" Will claimed. "You guys... you gotta... hmmm..." He began to think.
And think.
And think.
And think.
And only when his thinking took an hour did he finally think of one.
"Oh! How about you guys make a challenge and we rate it based off how good it is!"
"Seriously? It took you an hour to think of that?" Ame sighed.
"Listen, the writer didn't wanna seem lazy so made it a bit instead of just a normal section." Hey, being self aware stopped being funny like, a year ago!
Despite that, they followed Will's orders, and made their challenges, but suddenly...
A HUGE EXPLOSION SET OFF!
"JESUS! What was THAT?" Spooky exclaimed. "W4it... 1 zm3ll... >:[ 4 GRAD13NT..." Kasper said, more dramatic than needed. But he was right. Unpleasant made herself known when the dust cleared. "WHAT'S UP, SIGMAS?😂😂😂 THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN OHIO!"
"I HATE THIS GRADIENT!"
"For once, I think we all agree." Vern added.
'I just don't like how it looks.' Phoenix signed.
"Y0U *****! WHY 4RE Y0U H3RE, BRUH."
"I thought I'd check up on my alpha looksmaxxer🐺🗣🔥‼️"
"G3T 0UT!" Kasper shouted, causing everyone else to do the same. Unpleasant eventually had to be dragged out by a staff member, whilst the show continued.
"I actually... uhh... think I left my stove on, I gotta go now!" Will said, totally not going to do something that would explode the world.
"Well... that means... you all tied. At 0. I don't know how you've all managed this. You're all at the bottom. This went... so wrong."
"Well, I mean, if I learned anything from mixing dimensions, it's that it never goes right." Spooky added. "Also, did that Will guy have a big red button that said 'blow up this fic'?"
Right on cue, this entire fanfiction exploded. Because it's horrible. I just wanted to add all my favorites together in one fic, and look what happened. It exploded. Well, atleast it's over now.
"I HATE EXPLODING!"
