tune

Nori: hey. I’m Harry styles. waltzes around candles
Nurunuru: I am Nurunuru! And I have been both a slug and an orangutan!

Aethea: WHO PUTS A CAMPFIRE ON THE TABLE IN THE FIRST ROOM YOU WALK INT- Ooh, marshmallows! Never mind!
Corrin: You probably shouldn't touch those either…
Aethea: grabs a marshmallow, spears it with a stick she made from a rock and starts roasting it Want one?

Nori: raises hand. I do!!
Nurunuru: I too want the human-food sugar clump!!

Aethea: hands Nori a marshmallow and a stick
Corrin: This is a bad idea. Keep doing it. I wanna see how much Riley knows about what's happening from the fires.

Nori: graciously takes it and starts roasting it over the fire

The speaker on the wall is suddenly visible, and a voice yells: ATTENTION, HUMAN IN CAR 4; DO NOT TOUCH MY FIRES. OR MY MARSHMALLOWS. YOU NOW OWE ME A LIFE AND A DUCK. YOU TOO, LEGACY.
Aeteha: pauses eating the marshmallow I what now?
Corrin: That's Riley.
Riley: Oh, hi Corrin. IF YOU CANNOT GIVE ME A LIFE OR A DUCK, YOU WILL HAVE TO EARN THEM. AND THERE WILL BE HOSTAGES TO MAK EIT MORE FUN.
Aeteha: HOSTAGES? I only ate a marshmallow!
Corrin: Donnie, enable speakers and microphone to car 32. Riley, explain the hostages so they don't get unnecessarily worried, scared or anything else.
Riley: You're no fun.

Nori: continues roasting. pshh, I’ve got plenty of lives and ducks. Really.

Aethea: Do you want a natural duck or a duck made from a rock?
Riley: The kind of duck that walks around on rainy days and doesn't have to turn back into things.
Aethea: Death.
Aethea: And about the life…. Can I give it to you later? Once I die?
Riley: No. If you cannot hand it to me right now, you must do the equivalent of that. With hostages, because I do enjoy killing them.
Corrin: Explain what the hostages ARE.
Riley: The hostages are your cookies. The literal most delicious thing on earth. It's made to taste like your favourite food, cooked the best way possible, then turned into a cookie and becoming perfection. If you lose, I eat your cookie.
Aethea: raises hand Can I eat his cookie if he loses?
Riley: No. You also have a hostage waiting for me to eat it.
Aethea: This is unfair.

Addic: confused Do I get a hostage?

Riley: No. You didn't disturb my fires.
Riley: Well, you do, but I don't get to kill it.
Aethea: Goodbye. I'm going to get a duck. disappears

Nori: shrugs. you’re making no sense, thus, I shall stop listening
Nurunuru: Rileyy! Do I know youu??

Riley: to Nurunuru If you aren't a thief, human, dead person who works at the bazaar or RAef, then I don't know you.
Riley: to Nori Then here. You disturbed my fires and wasted one of my marshmallows. You now have to pay me back with a duck and a life. If you can't give me one or both of those right now, you have to do the equivalent by winning at a game. Your cookie is being held hostage until you pay me.
Corrin: Game? Oh come on! That one? You spend too much time with Castor.
Riley: Yes, that one. So you have to play too.
Corrin: sighs Fine. to Nori How good are you at aiming with knives?

Addic: Can I play instead of Nori? I love throwing knifes, and if I do say so my self, I am Wonderfull at it.

Corrin: No. Because then Nori can't play, because once someone plays it and everyone else sees it, everyone knows how to beat it.
Aethea: comes back, holding a duck by the legs I found a duck!
Riley: Now you only have to give me a life!

Addic: thats fair…_{can he give you my life?}

Riley: No. Because he's going to not be able to give me a life and a duck right away, he'll fail the game and I'll get his cookie.
Aethea: Do I get a game?
Riley: I just explained no. That me-
Corrin: to Riley Just come down so we can actually see you and aren't talking to a speaker on the wall.
Riley: Sure.
A flap in the ceiling opens up, and Riley drops down in front of them
Riley: Hi!

Nori: smirks. I have eyesight better Han any creature on this planet and most likely this universe. Count me in
Nurunuru: sad slug noises

Corrin: But can you actually aim a knife? When you throw it? Because I don't want t-
Riley: Explain the game already!
Corrin: You're going to have WAY too much fun with this. Alright. The object of the game is to hit one of my arms with a knife. Please aim for a finger. But I will not just have two arms. six more arms grow from Corrin's shoulders
Corrin: disappears for a second, then comes back with eight arms Alright. I have two real arms, and the rest are fake ones. You get three throws. Uh, I'm assuming we're playing one hit?
Riley: snorts One hit.
Corrin: Yeah. If you miss, the arm will disappear. If you hit, you win. It's that simple.
Riley: Except in, what, 93 years, not a single being, dead or alive, has ever hit his arm. EVER.
Corrin: shrugs with all eight arms Not their fault. They were boring rule-followers who didn't think outside the box.
Riley: hands Nori three knives Start when you're ready. You're only aiming for his fingers or hands.

Nori: nods, then watches the arms before closing his eyes and listening for the sound of a real pulse in Corrin's hands. He throws the dagger

Corrin: watches the knife pass through the bottom left arm and makes it fade That's one!
Aethea: is being ignored and holding the duck What do I do with this?
Riley: Later. I wanna see this.
Corrin: to Riley And before you act all smug at the end if he loses, you failed too.
Riley: Well then I guess I'm a boring rule-follower who doesn't think outside of the box. yawns Boring.
Riley: Alright, next throw!

Nori: growls, then starts whacking Corrin's arms with his own arms WHICH ONE IS IT!!

Riley: sounding vaguely disappointed Already? Alright, you can show him now.
Corrin: grins, and all eight of his arms disappear, revealing his two real arms hidden behind his back I never said how many fake arms I had, or that my real arms were showing, or that any of the arms you saw were real. But you got close.

Nori: excitedly stabs the knife into one of Corrin's hands. HAH! I WIN! I WIN! I DID IT! HAHAHA!!
Nurunuru:… oh my

Riley: But you tried all seven of his arms at once. You got three tries, and you did three tries. Then you did more.
Corrin: muttering spellspeak Well. That was-
Corrin: pauses No, Donnie, this is a game. This is part of the game. You cannot kill him or drop him into the canyon. That's impolite and that's cheating.

Nori: pointing a knife at Riley. You said, I got three tries with the knives. I only used one. SO DONT FUCKING TEST ME YOU ASSHO-
Nurunuru: now a giant slug, had grabbed Nori.

Riley: Three tries, yes. But the knives were optional. You could have used your hands. Which you did. And then you knew which ones weren't his arms and-
Corrin: pulls the knife out of his hand and tosses it aside Actually, that was two. One there, one that hit.
Riley: But he still-
Corrin: Just let his cookie live. This is why you didn't hit any of my arms. You like rules too much. This is almost against the rules, but just barely safe. It counts. grins I wish Castor were here to see it. He's the one who said it was foolproof and mostly made it up that way. I'm just the guinea pig.
Riley: No. If Castor were here, it would be so that he could dust his precious trombones, and TEST THEM ALL. ALL 366 OF THEM. HE CAN'T EVEN PLAY.
Aethea: Yay and all that. But you just got stabbed with a knife, pulled it out and tossed it away like it was nothing. How are you not in pain?
Corrin: I am. I'm just not feeling it, because I illusioned myself no pain. It just feels like pins and needles right now. As soon as I stop, though, it'll feel like I just got stabbed again.

Nori: Runs around the room while singing the theme song from Rocky

Aethea: to Corrin You're burning a hole in the floor with your blood.
Corrin: Oh. Sorry Donnie. So. WHere are the cookies?
Riley: summons a bandage and hands it to Corrin, as well as a bucket of something You are bleeding on my candles. Stop it.
Aethea: No. Cookies. Now.

Addic: Cookies.

Riley: summons cookies Cookies! Now, Nori paid, but Aeteha only brought me a duck. And she can't play, because now she knows how to win. Such a pity. I'll have ever so much trouble eating her hostage…
Corrin: Of course you will. Because I'm eating it. grabs the cookie as well as his own
Riley: Boo.
Aethea: Well then this duck is useless. Goodbye. throws it out the window
