shamanicshayminIn this meme, you put ten characters in a reality show and see what happens when they battle to win!
First, pick your reality show.Surviver Big Brother Fuck this! Our show's even better: Lord of the Pigs: The Dystopian Afterlife
What's the premise? 10 contestants are invited to a mysterious game show with one cost: their lives. That's right! Our contestants are all dead! XD But don't despair! Every one of them has a second chance at life, and they'll start it with a million dollars as pension! But there's only room for one soul to return, and if you split a million dollars among ten people, you wouldn't have as much money left, now would you?
The contestants are confined to a single utopia: New Pork City. They can stay anywhere they like in the city, but they cannot leave, for breeching borders runs you into risk of being gobbled by sandworms. Even in the city, they must be careful to avoid the Ultimate Chimera. Here they are given challenges to earn their right back into the world of the living: just like Surviver/Big Brother/Fear Factor, it's all Lord of the Flies from here. However, since you are dead, nothing can kill you. Hence the host can issue whatever challenge he likes, and you must achieve your victory in every possible way...
Who hosts it? Beetlejuice, taking over for the late Pokey Minch. New Pork City is stuck in a suspended time after Pokey seals himself and before the dragon awakens with the pull of the last needle.
Who are the judges? Darth Vader, Aerith Gainsborough, Jack Skellington
Now, pick your 10 contestants.
1) Griff (SatAM)
2) Baron Alberto (Rise of Darkrai)
3) Vivian (Paper Mario 2)
4) Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2)
5) Kain Highwind (FF4)
6) Mona (Wario Ware)
7) Rouge the Bat (Sonic)
8) Dr. Escargon (Hoshi no Kirby)
9) Everdred (Earthbound/Mother 2)
10) Sabrina (Pokemon)
Episode 1 - A Two Hour Premiere Episode
Choose three of your contestants and excerpt their introductions to us via the 'confessional.'
"Look, I didn't do it, okay!? Well, all right, there were those two kids, and I told 'em some secrets about the Mani-Mani Statue. The treasure that ruined me! The treasure that knocked me off! Next thing I know, I'm lyin' in some kind of ditch in the back alley and tons of people come screamin' in. I went out for a nice walk only to find myself in a weird part of Fourside. I go back the way I came, and WHOA! That thing almost bit my beard off! Well, guess I'm stuck here for now. Dying kind of sucks, so going back to run my business in Burglin Park and lay back and chill a bit would be nice, yeah. Wouldn't know what to do with a million bucks. I mean, what am I supposed to do? People look at me for holding anything. Hey, speaking of things, would you carry this off my hands for me?" --Everdred
"Hello everyone, this is your friendly neighborhood snail, Dr. Escargon! As you can see, Dedede isn't here with me, because I appear to be um, umm... *looks around* ...Dead. Hm. Hey, wait. Come to think of it, it's great! Haha! We'll see WHO'S majesty now, your Highness! Can't hit me now, huh? Hahaha! See how it feels now that I have the upper hand--what? Wh-What's this? You're saying--Dedede is... crying? Oh god! What have I done?! He NEEDS me! He can't read without me, no I mean it--his majesty's illiterate! Who'll be fixing him his favorite meals? I sure as hell am not letting that cooking dimwit Kawasaki ruin his dinner! Who'll massage Dedede's soldiers when he's angry and won't let anyone near him but me! I'm his big purple stress ball who bounces right back! And bedtime stories! The king loves his bedtime stories! I'll even read Hamster Huey if it means telling that stupid story and getting my neck strangled again! As strange as it is to most, Dedede's violence is my life! I must get back my lovely beatings! I live to serve the king! *fist in air* *clears throat* And I miss my mother. She's worried sick of me!" --Dr. Escargon
"...Someone slipped arsenic in my water during my meditations. The Fighting Dojo has taken over the Saffron Gym and Team Rocket possesses all my Pokemon. When I rise back, each and every one of them will wish they never double-crossed me. They will know... you don't underestimate a Psychic." --Sabrina (switching between speech and telepathy)
Someone decides before the competition even begins that they're not into this after all and quits. Who is it and what's their goodbye-cruel-world speech?
Vivian: "Aren't I already dead?" She spends the rest of the show offering support and hanging out in the fun spots.
The 9 remaining contestants move into their new "home." What's it like? What are the features? How's it decorated?
Dude, the entire city of New Pork City! Mother 2 Memorabilia everywhere, train stations, carousels, a toy room, Ms. Marshmallow, billions of headlights everywhere.
There are three bedrooms with three beds each. How does the process of choosing rooms go? Who sleeps where?
Oh god. XD
Room #1: Griff, Celebi, Mona. (The Happy Cheerful Group!)
Room #2: Kain, Rouge, Sabrina (Rouge flirts with Kain! Kain says nothing. Sabrina says nothing. Kain and Sabrina consider each other tolerable and don't mind the other's company)
Room #3: Everdred, Alberto, Escargon ("WHAT KIND OF GROUP IS THIS!?" "Yeah, whatever Dedede, you royal pain-in-the-AA-Allllllllllberto! Alberto. Sorry." "Guys, you're giving me a headache. Whoa... I haven't slept in a bed like this in years." As annoyed with the Baron as Everdred and Goonie are, Goonie can't help but be reminded a little of his penguin king from home. :o)
There's still an elimination - that one person who it's obvious from the start is fooling themselves to think they even stood a chance. Who is it?
Baron Alberto, no surprise. XD He gets chomped after provoking the Ultimate Chimera (his grand appearance!) and his "permanent afterlife" self turns into a Lickylicky. XD He reluctantly goes to live with Vivian and pouts the rest of the show. That night, Everdred shares some of his inventory with Escargon with his doctor stuff, with intriguing results for both.
Episode 2 - The First Challenge
The first challenge is something that everyone there ought to be good at already. What is it, and who's the best at it?
Outwit the Ultimate Chimera! The contestants need to temporarily stun the Chimera who chomped Alberto last night and put him in an inescapable trap (like a monster-proof cage). Kain, the most experienced regarding agility, strength and intelligence, leaps about, thrusts a lance through the UC's switch, leaving it knocked out just long enough to be imprisoned before the bird fixed the switch and repaired the Chimera.
Who's the one person who's just awful and horrible and ought to be sent home right now?
Even a giant needle can't protect the flailing Escargoon from an enemy that sees him as thus: a living bowl of escargot.
Who's the fair-to-middling person who gets sent home instead in a terrible miscarriage of justice?
Griff gives his "life" to Goonie by getting a Chimera tooth stabbing him through the heart. Griff goes to find Vivian and the still complaining Alberto ("I told you! That thing is DANGEROUS!") and spends the rest of the show with the tooth through his chest.
What's their bitchy parting shot to the confessional camera?
Vivian: So many Chimera deaths lately! But your tooth reminds me of something...
Griff: Huh? What is it?
Vivian: I don't know what. But not long ago, someone died the same way you did. Only it was a Drago tooth.
Griff: Hm... isn't that kind of ironic?
Episode 3 - Speaking of Bitchy...
Who's the arrogant, self-centered asswipe in the house and who is that asswipe rubbing the wrong way?
Since Baron Alberto's already dead, the next candidate would have to be either broody Kain or Escargon arguing with everyone. XD Mona would be worried about Kain and Sabrina would be giving the snail doctor the Evil Eye. XD
To everyone's chagrin, the asswipe wins the next challenge. What is it and how on earth does that contestant pull off a win?
Everybody is inflicted with a quick-acting disease that will eat away their insides unless the cure is developed. Dr. Escargon, knowing his stuff in medics, puts his needle to good use and saves everyone.
A snippet from the confessional of one of the jealous contenders:
"I can't say Dr. Escargon is on my list of favorite people, but he's a doctor, so we need him. It's just a matter of bribing him into fishing out the goods." --Rouge
Who does the worst in that challenge and goes home?
Strangely enough, Celebi's Heal Bell doesn't work on the dead. The disease eats her away into an empty husk, though she's seen flittering away like an undead fairy to meet with Vivian, Baron Lickylicky and Griff.
Episode 4 - Party Time
The remaining six contestants go out to dinner. Who...
...dances on the table? Everdred or Mona.
....kisses another contestant? Kain and Sabrina. *DUNDUNDUN*
...can't hold their liquor? Everdred.
...sits on the sidelines looking annoyed? Kain and Sabrina, until they engage in conversation and realize they may harbor more feelings for the other than they thought...
Surprise double elimination: One of the partiers gets thrown out for embarrassing the competition's good name. Who is it?
Apparently, the place they're partying at is oddly reminiscent of Jackie's Cafe at Moonside. Like a thief in the night, Everdred is snatched before he could look, and falls to the ground...
Who else gets the ax this week?
Everyone freaks out. Kain and Sabrina's romance is interrupted and Vivian taking Baron Lickylicky, Griff and Celebi out for a peaceful dinner was ruined. Salt shakers break over Escargon before he could combat the pain, overwhelmed by broken glass and overturned tables as he joins the ranks of the dead.
Episode 5 - Gettin' Down
With only four people left, things are roomier in the house, but you couldn't tell it to these two. Who's joined at the hips and steaming it up in the hot tub every night?
Kain and Sabrina bond closer and Kain promises to protect her. Among the losers, Baron Lickylicky grows less pouty and more accepting of his fate while forming close bonds with Vivian. Griff and Celebi become friends (Celebi remarking Griff reminds her a lot of Grovyle and feels closer to home), and Everdred tends Escargon's burns and they converse and exchange bizarre tales.
How do the others feel about that?
Kain/Sabrina: Mona thinks it's sweet (as long as they don't wake her and Rouge in the middle of the night), Rouge teases them about it is amused.
Vivian/Alberto: Vivian thinks she's having a crush on Alberto, but is too scared to admit it, especially with his ego. She tells him about her sisters, and he reacts dumbfounded at their treatment of her. Is Baron Lickylicky slowly redeeming himself, being chivalrous and protective of Vivian for her cause than his pride? Celebi expresses her concern about Vivian, not wanting her to be manipulated and making certain Alberto got a taste of his own medicine if he ever does anything to hurt her. Could a man emerge from a beast?
Who has a personal crisis and is eliminated after turning in a lackluster performance because they're preoccupied with *gasp* real life?
As apart of the challenge, Kain gets *DUNDUNDUN* brainwashed Masked Boy style! Before the others could save him, Kain uses whatever bit of control he has on his mind left to stab himself with the lance before Sabrina (reminiscent of the final battle in Mother 3), keeping his promise that he wouldn't hurt her.
Episode 6 - Three's Company
It's down to three. Which two gang up on the third, and why? What do they do?
Sabrina is in grief, and Mona accuses Rouge of setting it all up for her personal gain. ("You knew Kain would be possessed, didn't you? You knew how to help him, too!") Rouge says nothing, and Mona is confused and upset. Kain blames himself for what's happened and distances himself from the losers. Vivian grows increasingly scared and clings to Baron Lickylicky for protection; at this point, he can't afford to lie or be selfish to her.
An excerpt from the confessional cam of that contestant crying into their Cheerios about being victimized:
"I didn't know what was going to happen to Kain. I'll admit that I DID use the others for my own purposes; that's what being a government spy is about. In other words, I'm just doing my job. But I wouldn't have seen this coming, and there's a fine line between the moves you make and what someone else does that's beyond your control. We can do nothing for Kain now. It's every player on her own." --Rouge
Does the victim survive the next elimination, breaking up the Dynamic Duo, or do they go home, pitting former friends against each other?
Sabrina struggles over what is worth more: Kain, who made her smile and feel loved again, or her reputation as a Gym Leader? The Mushroom Guilt Trip Challenge definitely didn't make things easier. Sabrina agonizes between betraying Kain and betraying her Pokemon, leaving them with the Rockets. Then among the darkness, she receives a vision of the future: a Pokemon Trainer defeating Giovanni and freeing the Pokemon Team Rocket stolen. Sabrina smiles and lets go.
The Baron shifts from between becoming Lickylicky and Alberto. The only thing that means anything to him now was Vivian. Griff, Celebi, Everdred and Escargon cling together and Sabrina sets out to find Kain before it's too late.
Episode 7 - Grand Finale
How do the final two contestants feel about their chances to win?
Uncertain. Mona and Rouge had gotten along before, but things had been shaken between them, and now their entire life is literally on the line.
What's the big shocker of the final competition?
Panicking, hopeless, and knowing nothing else to do, Mona unconsciously started to pray, begging for help from everywhere, anything, her cries reaching past New Pork City and into Diamond City, where the citizens stopped and prayed for Mona, for dear god let her make it...!
What's the factor that puts the winner over the top, or does the loser have a totally embarrassing moment that ruins their chances?
Rouge has tried every method she had; she has no faith or hope in a miracle no matter what she tries, crushing himself in grim defeat that maybe this was what she deserved after all. But Mona is frantic and scared. She too has used up everything she had but her mind screams one thing over and over: I want to live! I want to live! She doesn't know or care how, she wants to live!
Finally, announce the winner and tell them what they've won!
As Mona begins to disappear and return to the world of the living, Rouge grins and congratulates her. Mona wakes up to a crowd of people in the middle of a highway in Diamond City, where her vespa's crashed nearby. Despite her bleeding, broken and bruised state, Mona laughs and struggles to stand up. Everyone is relieved she's still alive, and they rush her to the hospital. Even Wario, yes, even Wario, was concerned about her. In pension, Mona is given a million dollars to spend AND she doesn't have to give it all to Wario. ;D Needless to say, Mona got a lot of cute outfits and started her own business, with a bunch of adorable outfits for her animal friends too! As for the others...
Alberto & Vivian: Having proved his worth as a real man, Baron Lickylicky is turned back into his human self. He proudly declares Vivian as his fiance and brags to everyone what a perfect pair they are. Yep, still an egotist. Vivian giggles though. Some things never change. XD
Sabrina & Kain: Sabrina rescues Kain from the sandworms, bringing him back and pulling him into the show's Epic Kiss Scene TM. They now live together where they manage their own gym and psychic readings.
Griff & Celebi: BFFs for life, man! Celebi gets her healthy pink color back and is no longer a husk, and Griff is used to the tooth through his chest by now, even finding it fashionable. XD
Rouge, Everdred, Dr. Escargon: Chill out and lay back. Rouge is happily accepted into Everdred and Dr. Escargon's company and they spend many a poker night together, usually with Rouge swindling them of their cash and running.
And everyone lived happily ever after~ ♥
