TCR/S3E4

Lore- Naegi wakes up
* Meeting room*

Naegi: Urgh... Where am I?

I can’t see a thing...

El Loco? James? Can anyone hear me!?

Anyone!?

...

Keep calm... I just need to get my bearings.

Then I can start trying to find the others.

There was a meeting... with the others, I think it was here.

* trips up*

Argh!

Strange voice: Oh!? So someone finally woke up?! You were trying to break the door down along with the other idiots. You proved quite resilient.

I was starting to worry about how much you were exposed to that "gas" that it might have put you all to sleep for good!

* Naegi gets up*

Naegi: Who are you? What are you talking about?

Strange voice: Right now? You could call me your “Guiding Voice”. And you should listen to me if you know what’s good for you.

And you looked pretty queer laying over that body! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

Naegi: What are you talking about?

* Looks down*

Wha- El Loco?! Are you alright?!

El Loco:  Help...

Strange voice: Like I said, out like a burnt out candle! You should try waking them up.

Naegi: And why should I listen to you?

Strange voice: Simple, you don’t have a choice in the matter. At least then you’ll have some company while I get things set up!

* Naegi examines the door and tries to open it*

I wouldn’t bother with trying to open that door, you are just wasting your time and energy.

What you should be doing is-

Naegi: Show yourself, stop hiding!

Strange voice: ...As I was saying. I’ll let you all in on what's happening in due time. Now be a good doggie and wake the others up. Ta-ta!

Naegi: What have we gotten ourselves into...?

* transition (TCR Logo transitioning into WoH)*

James: How long has it been, now?

Naegi: No idea, maybe we can get some answers whenever we find out what is going off.

George: And I haven’t felt hungry at all. What is happening to us? Why is there fog everywhere?

Harold: Fuckin’ ‘ell, first my companies go under and now this shite!

Dyatlov: It’s pretty obvious what is happening! Bateman knew she would do something like this!

Kunt: Whatever you say, Dyatlov. I doubt that bint even gives a gnats erection about us to go through this effort.

Oi, old man. You got any idea what the fuck is happening?

The Gamer Wizard: ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS FOG HAS SOME SORT OF CANCELLING EFFECT ON MOST OF MY MAGIC

MY SPELLS ARE WORTHLESS, I COULD NOT EVEN REVERSE TIME TO GET US ALL OUT OF THIS!

Whizzard: My former apprentice is right, this is a strange sort of fog.

The only thing that has ever come close to the effect this fog has was The Golden Flood in the realm of Azkart. It was so devastating, it had ended the local mage’s guild there.

...I may have had some involvement in that.

James: How are the others? Are they seeing the same things?

El Loco: I think so, some of them are not in a talkative mood right now though.

I was hoping Inspector Faggot over there got dragged away but such is my luck.

Naegi: We’ll need everyone here if we are going to survive this, El Loco. Even if you two have issues.

El Loco: I don’t need that cabrón’s help.

Right now I just want to know what the fuck is going off!

Strange voice: Ooooh! So eager to find out what fun you are in for, are we? I am back, kiddos!

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

El Loco: Stop hiding in this fog like a little bitch. Give us some fucking answers!

* sound of a VHS tape dropping*

Strange voice: Put the tape in the VHS.

El Loco: Too much of a pussy to show your face, is that it?

Strange voice: Just do it, you retard.

James: I’ll do it.

* sfx of tape being put in*

Match 1
Norman Jayden vs Ace

Ace pins Norman Jayden

LORE- Winds ask about their challengers
Sundowner: So Manager... where’s the challengers?

Monsoon: It’s been a week now. Where is the border hopper and his mule?

Manager: We are wondering ourselves, they haven’t shown up at all this week.

Monsoon: Looks like they are having second thoughts… heh, fight or flight, guess they chose flight.

Sundowner: Ha! They remember the last time we fought and realized how out of their league they are.

Buncha cowards!

If I had known they were just gonna flake out on us, I woulda asked you to give us a second go with The Heart of Marth!

Now those two know how to put up a good fight!

Monsoon: Yes, I would have enjoyed giving that Dagoth and Sigurd a second chance.

Hmph, the path not taken.

Sundowner: So I guess we’ll be keeping our belts then until they show up!

Manager: Or when I announce another tournament.

Monsoon: Ah, but the contract says that could only happen after the challengers have their match with us.

And seeing as they are not here, there is no match to be had to deem that the case.

Manager: … Touche, you actually read the contracts.

Sundowner: You pick up these things when you do mercenary work. Don’t worry, we’ll keep your belts safe.

Oh well, time for us to get back to work. We have to break in some of the new Agents.

Monsoon: Let us know when our challengers show their faces.

Manager: I will.

* Monsoon and Sundowner leaves*

Manager: Where the hell is El Loco and that kid he was with? Has he dragged that kid into something illegal?

I should get some Agents out to look for them. Though right now I should deal with this counterfeit business with Bot.

Match 2
Agent Battler (mg. Monsoon) vs Agent Dimitri (mg. Sundowner)

Dimitri pins Battler

Match 3
Heavy and Big Show vs Besaid Aurochs

Tidus pinned Big Show

LORE- NTRman and Rapeman’s new careers
* black screen*

Feminine voice: So you said I have an idol gig coming up soon?!

Masculine voice: Indeed you do! So you better get some rest and be here tomorrow for your "lesson"!

???(idol girl): I will be here, Mr. Producer!

* door closes*

???:Yes you will…

??? 2: Damn she lookin fine tho! Can’t wait for her inevitable career suicide!

No doubt she will do some criminal actions after and that means we’ll get sent in.

* Cut to NTRman with Rapeman*

NTRman: Ah, this is the life all bad tags strive for! A job where you can mix in business with pleasure without anyone giving you a dirty look.

Rapeman: Yea, don't have to risk getting our dangalangs beaten black and blue by some of their wrestler buddies when we tryna to give some bitch some character development!

NTR Man: Indeed, we have learnt our lesson after our attempts with Manager’s secretary after all.

Anyways, how’s your business coming along?

Rapeman: Surprisingly, that motherfucker going extremely well!

We made a killing when autumn was around the corner. Cus of all them falling leaves n’ shit.

It’s funny considering I only started "Rakeman's Rakes and Hoes" to get da taxman off my ass over where I got my paper from.

Can't really tell him it's all from our contracts.

NTRman: Ah yes, speaking of contracts, the contracts requesting "character development" have been kind of sparse lately.

Especially now that the Boss has gone back to the other place…

Rapeman: You talking about that other place that he never tells us where it at?

NTRman: Yep. Not like I miss him though.

It's great to not have him looking over our asses anymore.

Especially now that this scheme we got going is bearing considerable fruit.

Desperate girls seeking fame and fortune find us, we give em their chance to get their foot in the door.

For a price of course.

Rapeman: Even better if they got a boyfriend too.

Can’t let them fans find out about them having boyfriends, it would break their hearts!

NTRman: Especially when they have boyfriends. I make sure to rectify that mistake when I find out they have boyfriends.

And when we get our fill, she will go out and make us money!

Rapeman: Hahaha!

NTRman: We should have done this earlier!

Rapeman: At least those dudes over at TCR won't interfere with us now. We straight legit now.

NTRman: Legit in their eyes at least. You cannot keep this old dog down!

Speaking of TCR I heard Manager is now running Britannia as a whole while the King is on his trip.

Maybe he might be too busy with running the place to notice a few developed characters here and there over in their stadiums.

Rapeman: Eh… I’d rather not fuck with him and his boys still.

Even if I still want to give that Red Cunt some dangalang time back when we were rolling with his secretary.

You said so yourself we have a good gig going here.

NTRman: I suppose…

At least we will know what things are like there soon enough.

Rapeman: Huh? Did you send out talent hunters over there?

NTRman: Nope, an old friend from back in the old days.

Rapeman: They part of the gang?

NTRman: Hell no, he is older than the boss. This guy was back in my real estate days.

He just got out of prison recently and he is looking to shake off the rust he’s developed with some actual fighters.

Rapeman: Ah... a real mean motherfucker! Probably could get him to deal with some motherfuckers there that we gotta get even with if we ever get back in.

NTRman: Originally he wanted to go to TFR because he wanted to pay a visit to someone.

But considering what happened, I felt it was safer to at least have him start at TCR.

Heard he finally got signed up properly now, had to call in some favours to clear the air about his “past”.

So he owes me for that.

Rapeman: Can’t have enough favours in this game, baby!

Match 4
Kuze vs Hank ACTUAL KO THIS TIME

KUZE KNOCKS OUT HANK

LORE- Ayin warns Eri
Eri: Oh Manager... I promise I will be gentle with her!

Ayin: You better stick to that promise.

I have read your files, I have seen what you did in your memories.

Eri: How did you manage to see my memories? Did you like what you saw?

Ayin: That is besides the point, I am fully aware of the depravity you partake in.

Which is why I changed the contract to forbid you from fighting any of the females around here.

I may not be able to stop the match from going through thanks to middle management being ignorant... but I will warn you right now.

If I hear that you tried to do anything depraved to Angela.

Or if you look like you even had any intention of doing that to her.

You will be retired, permanently, by my hand.

Eri: You can’t threaten me like this! I have been here since-

Ayin: I’ll stop you right there to remind you that you are already on thin ice with everybody here. They won't bat an eye to me throwing out the trash.

So for your sake, you better behave for this one.

Eri: U-uh… Okay... Haven’t you had any sleep? You seem very cranky…

Ayin: My sleep is fine, thanks for your concern.

You can leave now.

Put on a good show for everyone.

* Eri leaves*

Binah: It’s been a while since I have seen you this cold with someone. It’s... exciting to see again.

Ayin: Frankly, after seeing everything she did… I think that wasn’t enough for her.

I hope Angela can deal with her. She is not the same person I had to suppress.

Those incompetents in production didn’t even bother telling me about this until now.

Binah: The chick has to leave the nest sooner or later, Ayin.

You have to leave them to their own devices otherwise they will never learn.

Ayin: I know, if only we had more female talent around here, i’d rather she face anyone else but her.

Can’t really ask the men either, Most of them dislike fighting against women for one reason or another.

Binah: Yet the referee is free game.

A: That’s different. For some reason everyone seems compelled to do that.

But I can understand where they are coming from about fighting women.

It was pretty hard for me to not hold back when I had to fight against Edelgard.

...She is not going to learn if they hold back against her.

…

Get me Yesod, I have something to request.

Match 5
King Of Tables

Dagoth Ur vs Patrick Bateman vs Yugi, 3-WAY 20 MIN TABLE IRONMEME

Bateman throws Yugi 1-0-0

Bonus
Dagoth Ur vs Yugi backstage

Dagoth beats Yugi's bitch ass

LORE- Eri bitches about the warning
Eri: Who the hell does he think he is trying to threaten me!? Since when did he start caring over some secretary that tried to get everyone killed!

???: Well if it isn’t TCR’s most disgusting human being.

Eri: Shut up Bateman, I am in no mood to hear it from you!

Bateman: Oh, your mood is the last thing I am concerned for.

I presume Manager gave you a warning about doing what comes natural to a degenerate like you?

Eri: Nobody tells me what I can and cannot do!

Things were better when that loser Pitchford was in charge! He’d let me do anything!

And you call me a degenerate? You of all people?!

I know what you get up to when you want to satisfy your urges!

Bateman: I might have my fun here and there. But I refuse to be judged by your standards.

Eri: And that’s why you are a boring person.

Manager is not the same Manager i knew!

Not the meek silent guy who let that beatnik drag him around.

Bateman: You’re right about that.

Eri: I will show his precious little “Angela” just what I think of him when I get my hands on her!

Bateman: I can’t believe what I am hearing.

You stupid fucking cunt! You think he is going to fucking take that lightly after what he told you?

Attacking someone who is very important to the man who now co-owns this place?

Getting fired would be the least of your worries if you follow through with this.

Eri: You wanted her to face justice, remember?! You should be helping me out here!

Bateman:

Whatever my opinions may be on her, because I still believe he let her off too lightly.

I’m still going to respect his decision because I’m not going to ignore the rest of the things he has done for us.

And you talk about justice? You of all people?

That’s just rich to hear from someone who sided with Edelgard when she was around.

So why the hell would I help out a goddamn traitor like you?

How lucky for you that Dimitri didn’t beat your ass to a pulp when that was all over.

Eri: That was because they promised me a zoo! And that was ages ago!

Bateman: And you think Manager has forgotten all about it?

The rest of the veterans already don’t like you just because of that.

Not even James can find any good qualities in you!

And we all owe Manager quite a bit for making sure we have a wrestling ring to come back to.

You got the warning from him, now heed it if you know what’s good for you.

Eri: What is he gonna do, huh?

When he isn’t here, he is always at his little lab!

And all he does is gawk at those poor imprisoned things who just need some tender love.

Bateman:

Okay, now it's my turn to warn you.

Don’t you dare fuck this up for me just because you want to push your luck, Eri.

I want my eventual rematch with him to be a good clean one! And you pissing him off will fuck that over.

Do your match and if you win, leave it at that.

Otherwise I'll be joining in on whatever hell he’ll have planned for you.

* Bateman leaves*

Eri: Is everyone just against me today?!

-eri leaves-

-roland enters with Yesod-

Roland: So this is the so-called “Eri”? She certainly doesn’t disprove the hushed words I hear about her if that’s the case.

Hey Yesod, you caught that exchange on camera didn’t you.

Yesod: Yeah, I caught it on the CCTV.

Did nobody tell her that we also run the security and CCTV here too?

Roland: I think she’s just that dumb, I’ll let Ayin know to watch from the side.

Don't want Bateman to get to them first and have all the fun.

LORE- The mastermind reveals himself
El Loco: ...The fucking idiot forgot to plug the fucking thing in! James: Well it’s plugged in now.

Let’s put this tape in.

* TV Turns “on”*

TV: Welcome! Welcome one and all to the wildest ride of your lives!

Gather around the TV and prepare to be amazed when I introduce you to your host!

Harold: The TV is broken, there is no video.

TV: THE ONE AND ONLY!

OPKuma!

Naegi: There is nobody there.

* clattering*

???: Argh! Fucking flimsy piece of shit.

El Loco: The fuck?

* OPkuma climbs to the top of the TV*

OPkuma: Good morning! Or is it evening?

* Tries to look at watch that aint there*

… I forgot my watch...

Uh… I bet you thought I was actually going to be on top of some podium or actually brodcasting myself to a TV, didn’t you?

But you know the economy and all that stuff, budget cuts had to be done!

Besides, I like to meet all my guests in person, it’s just rude to sit around all day and force them to look at a screen!

Oh- I am your host, OPkuma! And to rip off a quote from a certain red haired wrestler:

I have a special offer, and it involves...

…

Drumroll?

* CHA LA, HEAD CHA LA*

…

Goddamn sound departments!

* smacks stereo*

* drum roll*

IT INVOLVES YOU!

El Loco: … Is this a fucking joke?

Are you just some fucking cheap shitty knockoff trying to copy BANS?

Naegi: Monokuma?

OPkuma: Monowhat now? I am OPkuma! Mascot of the best wrestling show in the entire universe, The Final Rumble!

Kunt: More like a chinese knockoff you get from Poundland.

OPkumma: Made in Brazil more like! And who doesn't like references to the greatest wrestler of all time!?

Guts: I don’t see the reference, especially since he doesn’t go by-

OPKuma: Shut up, I am trying to do my great introduction here!

Now who do we have here...

James: ...You’re a long way away from The Flying City, why are you here?

OPkuma: Oh it’s one of the people from here who intervened against Kojima! James Sunderland!

It must be depressing having to live under the shadow of Manager, huh?

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

James: What are you talking about? I don’t care for fame.

El Loco: Hey fat fuck! Why the fuck are you here?

If it's a simple offer there is no need for any of this elaborate bullshit.

Naegi: He is right, you know.

If you are merely offering us something, there is no reason to lure us and knock us out against our will.

Dyatlov: What do you want from us?! Stop babbling nonsense you idiotic teddy bear!

OPkuma: Okay, okay! Impatient, aren’t we? I’ll tell you as long as you promise complete cooperation with me!

Naegi: *sigh* We promise...

OPkuma: Well you are a part of a brand new game we are creating, just don't let the higher ups in TFR know.

And the idea of this game involves solving mysteries, making friends and wrestling for your life!

You could call it a game of survival of sorts.

And the game is called:

Dimes Camp!

Harold Lott: I fookin knew it! You’re with that fuckin piece of shit skeleton!

OPKuma: Skeleton? What skeleton?

George: BANS! You were there with him!

OPkuma: BANS? Nyuk nyuk nyuk! What kind of silly name is BANS?

He must be one of those Agent 47 fanboys I keep getting hate mail from!

El Loco: Stop feigning ignorance!

OPkuma: I have no idea who you are talking about!

Naegi: Look, just tell us why you are doing this.

OPkuma: Finally, an actual question!

You want to know why?

Here’s why! You are all fucking losers!

So you are the perfect candidates for my new training regime!

George: Well that’s doing wonders for my self esteem...

OPKuma: What we have is a mutually beneficial arrangement. You work for me and help out with my problems and I make you dimes!

Your first challenge will be here soon, to test the waters of your capabilities!

But there is one last thing I should mention before we start Dimes Camp properly.

There are going to be some rules in place!

And if you break these rules, you shall be punished accordingly.

So take these papers and read through them because I am not going to spell out every single one of these rules to you morons.

However, there's one I'm gonna spell out though, "Any attempt on my life or wellbeing will result in swift and pure strikes!”

So don’t get any funny ideas!

Any questions?

Harold: Wh-

OPkuma: No? Good! I’ll see you all later when I issue my task!

LORE- Norman hears rumours
Norman: No signs of The Skeleton Killer at all, maybe they were right about this place not being a target. * Enter Akasaka and Luis*

Akasaka: So you are sure you haven’t seen James at all?

Luis: Yes, last time I saw him was a week ago.

Akasaka: We have a match coming up and he is still not here…

Something’s not right, I can feel it.

Luis: I’m sure he’ll be here soon.

Akasaka: If he doesn’t show up, I’m going to call in a wellness check.

I know James has his periods of melancholy but nothing quite like this.

Luis: Come to think of it, it feels like some others haven’t been around since that period of fog we had.

You don’t think it’s…

Akasaka: God I hope not, I don’t even want to think about that possibility.

Luis: Well let's hope it’s not the case...

Well…  I gotta head out and get ready to show His Majesty’s guest the facility tomorrow, I need to prepare some things over there.

It's nice finally getting an actual close look of the place without some chica trying to get us killed now that I landed a job there.

But I guess that's besides the point, I won’t keep you waiting around any longer. Let us know if you find James.

Akasaka: I will, I should ask around and see if anyone else is missing.

Luis: That’s a good idea.

* Luis and Akasaka leaves*

Norman: … Looks like there may be something going on after all.

Now where did I put those glasses?

… I swear I put them-

Oh they’re already on!

Time to get to work.

Match 8

Walter does cheap spigot tech on Tadano

LORE- Ayin gives Angela advice
Angela: Hey Ayin, It has been a while, hasn’t it. Ayin: I know, it’s hard to keep track of everything since I’ve taken on these new responsibilities.

…

Angela: I know what you’re gonna say to me, you’re worried about the match I’ll be in.

I’ll be fine, I promise.

Ayin: You say that, but I don’t trust your opponent to keep the fight clean at all.

Remember, she has sided against this place in the past. She has a grudge against me, and she has killed someone in the ring.

Angela: Don’t worry, please, for your own sake.

Ayin: I know, just remember that this is not your run of the mill friendly match.

Angela: I wasn’t expecting this to be easy

Ayin: Just remember this for if she goes too far. Call out for your friends, they will help. I know you want to do this by yourself but some things you cannot do alone.

I want you to come out of this okay, for everyone’s sake.

Angela: Haha, you’re acting like a father scared for his daughter’s life.

Like I said, I’ll be fine. If I need to I can just make sure to break a bone or two to make sure she won't do a thing.

Ayin: Now I wouldn’t go that far…

Look, just... watch out, Angela.

Angela: I will. Trust me, I can handle this.

-angela leaves-

Ayin: What a strange comment, she sounded like her old self for a second there.

* Elsewhere*

Angela: Children? Ayin wouldn’t allow children here.

That's why the guards keep turning away Tiphereth every time she shows up unless she arrives with someone else. I keep telling her to take off the filter if she really wants to visit that badly.

Alice: Strange... So anyway, what did he call you in for? Did you get into any sort of trouble?

Angela: Nothing serious, something about the next match, he has some concerns over the match with whoever that Eri is.

Alice: Oh... Eri, I guess he has some right to be concerned.

Angela: How come?

Alice: I haven’t seen the things she has done but…

Angela: But what?

Alice: From what Luka has told me; since I have no access to the men’s room... People in the locker room say that she has a... taste for doing certain depraved acts.

It’s probably one out of the reasons why they didn’t drag her along during the raid.

Angela: And what are the other reasons?

Alice: Well to put it bluntly, All of the veterans in the locker room all call her a “Fucking traitor”.

Angela: Well that’s just lovely.

Why is she still here if that is the case?

Alice: I don't know, maybe because she's under a specific contract, and Manager hasn't found a loophole to have her fired?

Or she has been providing favors to certain people to keep her in.

Angela: Favors? Like bribery?

Alice: ...Something to that extent?

I’ll explain what I mean by that after your match.

But there’s also the likelihood that it's just because there is a severe lack of any other female talent.

Which is probably why they had no choice but to have you fight against her.

They really need to fix that, if you are going to be participating here a lot...

Well, good luck out there, Angela.

Angela: Thanks, Alice.

* Angela leaves*

Alice: I hope so...

...

* Enter Roland*

Roland: Good evening, Alice. I presume Angela has just left?

Alice: Yes, she was talking with Manager just a few minutes ago.

Good thing you are here though, because I have a question.

Roland: What is it?

Alice: Why Eri of all people?

Roland: I don’t know much about this Eri other than the stories that James told me... Which is basically that she is a weirdo who I should bother talking to.

What is the problem with her exactly? Because nobody has ever said anything other than "You do not want to know" when I ask.

Alice: Weirdo is an understatement. She is one of those pleasure seekers who takes it too far.

Roland: Oh... those sorts of people.

Alice: And an uncontrollable one at that.

If Eri wins that match, I have no doubt she is going to try and do something with Angela that will end very unpleasant for her.

And the last thing we both need is for Angela going through something like that and undoing everything we have done.

Roland: ...You’re right, looks like I need to talk to Ayin.

If she is going to be getting involved in this, she’s going to need a lot more people who aren’t Eri.

Alice: Thanks, I thought I would have to be the one to go and ask him.

Roland: I'll try to make him see the benefit of this if he hasn’t already got something like this planned already.

Alice: Thanks Roland.

* roland leaves*

Alice: ...Well at least maybe now if this goes through I can stop standing around here waiting for Luka to get back.

Match 10
Angela vs Eri ⅔ fall

Angela pins Eri 1-0

Angela pins Eri 2-0

Eri Loses (Canon)
Eri: She thinks she is going to get away with that?

Acting like she runs the place just because Manager is in charge!

I’m going to make her pay...

I don’t care about his stupid little warning, whatever!

I’ll just grab a chair right now and teach her a goddamn lesson in respect!

-change scene to backstage-

Ayin: You had me worried there for a moment.

Angela: It’s fine, I heard you were looking to find me new people to face too?

Ayin: I think you’re ready for them, especially since they’ll be far more... respectful.

Besides, I think having someone else with us that’s capable of fighting will also help us in the event anything happens again.

-change to eri in backstage area-

Eri: They must be over there, I see Manager standing there lit up like a Christmas tree.

That means she’s close, I’ll just swoop in, hit her and make my break for it!

???: That would be the case, had you not noticed us heading towards our own match.

-its hip enters-

Bateman: Or, you would’ve noticed that there’s about 5 other people there with Manager and Angela too.

Eri: Bateman! Stop ruining my fun!

Bateman: What is “fun” for you is horrendous acts, and things that ruin business.

And quite frankly, I don’t appreciate people trying to bring down the business.

-cut to manager and co-

Hokma: Do I hear some arguing around the corner? Sounds like Bateman is yelling at someone.

Roland: Oh, it’s that weirdo Angela beat, did I just hear someone dropping a chair?

* SLAM*

Uhh, I think we have a fight on our hands.

-Back to Bateman and Co-

Eri: Let go of me!

Bateman: Poor choice of words. Let her go, Show.

-Big Show throws Eri at the TV-

Bateman: The TV is coming out of your wages.

Ayin: What is happening here?

Bateman: Oh nothing much.

Eri: He smashed me through the TV!

Bateman: Nah, she just tripped up and fell face first into the TV, happens to the best of us.

Maybe you should try and tie up your shoelaces before you try swinging that chair around.

You could have hurt someone doing that.

Oh wait, that's right, you said the chair was for a certain someone.

Ayin: Is that so? Is there something you are not telling us Eri?

Roland: I’ve heard the stories, but I never expected someone to stoop this low.

Eri: C-come on, it’s just playful hazing of the rookies, right!?

Bateman: Well It’s Hip have got a match to attend to, so see you all later.

Ayin: Hokma, would you mind fixing the TV?

Hokma: Sure, give me a moment.

…

Yeah, good as new now.

Ayin: Good.

Eri: How the- what the fu-?!

-ayin grabs eri-

Eri: H-hey! What are you-

-ayin throws eri into the TV-

Eri: Urghhhhh...

Ayin: He's right you know.

You should remember to tie your shoes.

Because in your clumsiness you tripped up and damaged the TV again!

Eri: But you threw me into it… owwww…

Ayin: By the way the cost of the TV is coming out of your wages.

Eri: But the old man just fixed it!

Ayin: I didn’t see him fix it.

Eri: You told him to!

(Akasaka enters)

Akasaka: Ah, there you are. Manager, I need to talk to you.

Ayin: Akasaka, what do you need?

Akasaka: I have a question. I’m supposed to have a match with James today, right?

Ayin: I believe so, why? Is there an issue?

Akasaka: A tiny one, James never showed up.

Manager: He didn’t turn up? That’s strange. It’s not like him to miss a match.

Akasaka: Not only that, nobody else has seen him at all.

Now that I mention it… It feels like some other people haven't been around in a while too.

Manager: I have noticed that too, I have been looking for El Loco and that protege of his when they haven’t turned up.

… I’ll get back to you if I find them.

Now if you excuse me, I have to deal with garbage disposal here.

Akasaka: Thanks, Manager. Let me know if anything turns up, I am going to check this out myself.

* Akasaka leaves*

Roland: What do we do with her?

Ayin: Throw her out back and let her reflect on why she should keep her impulses in check.

If anyone asks, tell them the Black Beast attacked her.

Eri wins
Eri: Hahaha, that's just typical! Everyone loses before me.

Now, time to show Manager what he gets for bad mouthing me.

Oh Angelaaaa~ i think it's time for you to see what i think is fun!

You’re coming with me!

Angela: Get your hands off me!

Eri: Hehehe-

???: I warned you…

Eri: Huh?

* Eri gets punched by Ayin*

Angela: Ayin!

Eri: Owww! You have no right to hit the talent!

Ayin: And you have no right to try and molest the talent.

I told you to control yourself for one single match and you ignored me.

People told me just what you were going to intend on doing to her if you won.

Eri: So what?! She said she needed some character development anyway!

* That move where you grab a nigga by their throat one handed, i forget what its called*

Ayin: Looks like I am going to have to do what Dimitri should have done with you.

Get Angela out of here, Roland. She doesn’t need to see this.

Roland: Way ahead of you.

* Roland and Angela leave*

Spigot: THIS STADIUM ISN’T BIG ENOUGH FOR 2 COCKSUCKERS ERI!

Eri: Who do you think you are!?

You can’t do this!

* fade into transition screen*

* AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Eri: urghh...

Ayin: Pack your stuff and get out of my sight, you’re not a part of TCR anymore.

You try and come back and I will have an Agent dispatch you.

(JC leave)

-It’s Hip enters-

Bateman: Damn! I was late to the party!

Eri: urghhhhhhhh… Bateman...

Bateman: Look what you have gone and done you fucking stupid bastard.

Now I can say goodbye to that rematch for the next few weeks.

Thanks alot.

Eri: Get me to the... hospital…

Bateman: You’ll be going to the hospital alright… at the morgue.

MC Ride: GUILLOTIIIIIIIIINE YUH!

* Bateman drags Eri out of the ring*

-cut to Ayin back at the office-

Ayin: Well that went badly...

Hokma: I guess Roland was right after all.

Ayin: That is for certain, this needed to be done.

* door knocks*

Ayin: We’re busy right now.

???: This is really important.

Ayin: … Fine, come in.

(Akasaka enters)

Ayin: Akasaka, what brings you to my office?

Akasaka: I have a question. I’m supposed to have a match with James today, right?

Ayin Let me see here…

* shuffling papers*

Ayin: Yes, should be right now... Is there an issue?

Akasaka: A tiny one, James never showed up.

Manager: He didn’t turn up? That is not like him at all.

Akasaka: Not only that, nobody else has seen him at all.

Now that I mention it… It feels like some other people haven't been around in a while too.

Manager: I have noticed that too, I have been looking for El Loco and that protege of his.

… I’ll get back to you if I find them.

Akasaka: Let me know, I am going to do some checking myself if you are fine with that.

Manager: That’s fine by me, just don’t let anyone else know.

= LORE- OPkuma talks to the Audience = * Dark mastermind office room*

OPkuma: I love, you love motto!

Chu chu chu.

Mitsukete-

Oh! So you are all finally here! You seriously didn’t think I wouldn’t notice you all watching?

Ha! I knew you were watching all along!

I counted on it in fact, I want you all to watch because this is where you come into play!

We’ll be testing how much you really care about these guys!

So, we are going to be putting up a vote.

A vote for their lives!

Huehuehue- I mean nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Only kidding! That would be so unoriginal!

At the end of each episode, you will need to assemble a team out of these jobbers! Why? So that they can be put to the test. Tests of the world... you know how horrifying it can get, don’t you?

Choices matter, especially yours! No more flights of fancy, or subtle paths to riling your 1-bit heads up! Only with Strategy™ will you decide, who will live… and who will die…

Or, you know, you can just kick back and relax, and watch all these no-dime wrestlers die. It’s like reading a visual novel! You do READ, don’t you?

But since this is your first time, I’ll explain how this will go. I’m such a nice bear aren’t I?

Everyone has Health, Sanity and various stats.

The party you send out from the vote the episode prior, will face many devious obstacles in their way.

Don’t worry, I’ll whip these writers into coming up with something for that!

You pick who bites the bullet, and you make the choice as to what they’ll do to deal with it.

Then, we roll the dice! Their relevant stat against whatever is rolled plus or minus modifiers, the higher value wins!

They win? Good things happen! The random roll wins? Bad things happen! Pretty simple!

If only we had the budget to put everything in a nice looking 1-bit style! A shame!

Take care of my Despair Side! Bad things *will* happen more often if they start dying or go insane!

And I have big and fun things planned for them so it would suck if they all ended up dead early!

That’s all! Surely you can make basic choices better than you can with doing puzzles yourself!

Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!

So...

Choose three people that you want in the party for their next task!

Clock’s ticking!
