Strangely, the fountain of Truce seems to have been retrofitted into a staging area. The moon rests high in the sky, covering the city with its light. All around the fountain are numerous chairs for an audience to sit in. Closer to the fountain are a series of boxes, some small, some enormous. There even seems to be three curtains set up beside it, leading into a temporary sheltered area that no one can see from the outside. Just what's going on here? (Wayne)

Resting in between the boxes and the curtains is a little stage, with a sexy black man standing upon it holding a microphone. He seems to be waiting for an audience to gather while speaking to a man and a woman, who seems to be working with him. (Wayne)

"What? What do you mean someone is doing something to the fountain area?" The M85 makes several rapid clicking noises and chirrups as it drags Helios into the square. "Thats completly... Oh." Helios' lens flickers. "Just what is all this?"

It doesn't take much to get Kimen interested, and even better she has a bag of freshly popped popcorn on hand too. Humming quietly to herself she finds a seat in the front row, happy to be treated to a free show of some sort.

(Ivane) An unknown green Kirby is seen coming from the north. He is very familiar in a Good and Bad way......He walks up and sees the stage and says, "This looks interesting." He leans against a building wall and studies the stage more.

(Drifter) Qupoma wanders into the fountain area, only to see the fountain was taken over by a stage. "Huh? What's this all about?" She asks, blinking and staring at the stage.

"I hope it isn't a game show... Because I'm SO unprepared for taking an active part in it." From where she's at, near the staging area/former fountain, Twilight Sparkle nervously coughs a few times as she turns to Helios, and takes a seat in one of the chairs before twiddling her forehooves.

Finn is TOTALLY here to check out the game show! A game show where the contestants ARE the spectators? How can you go wrong?! Having gotten there fairly early, he nods a little at Qupoma and Twi as he spots them. "Hey!" He smiles, moving to head over and snag a seat, flopping down comfortably in a seat near Twi, relaxing. Ah, this'll be fun to watch, even if he's not chosen!

Jake climbs up out of Finn's backpack and sits next to him. "Dude! This is gonna be awesome! I hope he picks me!"

Kahleen rolls from building to buidling, trying to stay out of view, catches something different taking place at the fountain. "Boxes, curtains and...*GASP!*..CHAIRS?!" She creeps from shadows and takes a seat in the back row, noting the "distraction setter" Kimen was on the front row. Just a matter of the loot displaying itself now. Tonight was going to be a jackpot!

Metroid burbles happily as he floats down from the edge of a building, looking at all the new energy signatures he hasn't tasted before.

As more individuals gather around the fountain, the man smiles and holds his microphone up, "Thank you for coming everyone! Welcome to 'Let's Make a Deal', the game where you can win big or get zonked! I am your host, Wayne Brady! Over there is the announcer Johnathon, and by the curtains there is the lovely Ms. Tiffany. Let's get started! I need one volunteer, please." says Wayne as he approaches the audience, looking for the first person to jump out at him.

Jake squeels like a girl, "Oh! Oh! Finn! He's looking for a contestant!" (Wayne)

The M85 nervously steps forward. "M85, what on Mechonis are you doing?" Helios calls after it.

(Drifter) Qupoma sits down by Finn and Jake, hoping they don't mind her sitting by them. "Wonder what this game is all about?" She asks as she looks at the person walking around.

Kimen pops a few hanfuls of popcorn into his mouth, feet swinging. He would have volunteered but he didn't know what the rules of the game were or how it was played, and it wasn't a good idea to play in any games you didn't know the rules to.

Metroid is simply floating about, making a mixture of chitters and burbles as it bobs over the heads of everyone else, looking for a pleasant perch, deciding to land on the topmost point of the tallest one, the M85.

(Ivane) The kirby stops leaning against the Building and raises his hand. "This is going to be a great first night here." He also looks around at the others.

"Ok... I'm really going to have a hard time, but I might as well make the best of it, and being unprepared..." With a reluctant sigh, Twilight Sparkle fights down her nervousness, forcing a smile as she listens to the host and stands up. "I'll go."

Not wanting to take any attention from Jake, Finn keeps quiet for the moment, hoping that his best bud gets picked! Still, he reluctantly waves his hands a bit. Totally not trying to steal any thunder!

Kahleen shrinks in her seat and maybe even looks away to go unnoticed. She just watches from the corner of her awry-eyes. Kahleen smiles as some seem to volunteer. Her hands fidget about inside her pocket as she becomes impatient. "What IS in the boxes already?" she asked herself as she watched Wayne pace the those that volenteer.

"Ah, you two please! Big giant robot and his pet alien!" says Wayne as he points towards the M85 and Metroid, "Come on down, sir and it. What are your names?" he asks as he makes his way back towards the stage, holding an envelope in his other hand.

The M85 may feel a little drain on its energy, but its negligible, like a crossed wire or erroneous program might take, the Metroid burbling happily atop the M85, all but ignoring you.

Kimen lets out a loud and cheer and a whistle for the chosen volenteer. "Good Luck Mr. Metal Guy! WIN BIG MONEY" She yells. Though she didn't know if there was money involved, though there usually was in these kind of things.

The M85 walks up onto the stage and makes a few rapid clicks. "The M85 will no doubt need a translator! It said that it's name is Meteor Artillery!" Helios calls from the audience. He glances over at Twilight. "The things we do for that thing..."

Shrugging, Twilight Sparkle returns to her seat, taking a few deep breaths to calm her nerves as she watches the M85 step onto the stage. 'Just relax... I can handle this, no problem... Besides, it's not like something bad's going to happen if I go up there, right? It's all just a game...'

Kahleen can hardly stand it. Everything is on display! Calling her. "Kahleen! Take me with you!" Kahleen would hear from inside a box. "HeeEellpah me Kahleen!" Kahleen heard from behind a curtain. "You'll NEVER own me Kahleen! Mwahahaha!" a voice called to her from inside a smaller box. She scowls at the inanimate objects. Kahleen slides down from her chair to the ground. She sttempted to move silently and unseen, making her way behind a curtain...

Finn peers over at Twi, smiling at her. "Relax. Even if you do get picked, you'll do great," he tries to encourage her, make her less nervous. He's probably not helping too much. He does peer briefly at Jake, before he looks back at the stage.

"Please sir, take a seat." says Wayne to Helios as he turns towards the M85. "Alright big guy, I'll tell you what. I'm going to give you what's behind curtain #1 right now. It's yours! Now..you can take what's behind curtain #1, OR..I will give you 500 gold right now to pass on the curtain and I will give that to your little green friend. What's behind that curtain, who knows? It could be good, or could be a zonk. If it's a zonk, you don't win anything. Whatcha think?" asks Wayne as he holds the microphone up to the M85.

The M85 mulls it over for a long moment. They did have plenty of raw gold back at the Nakajamur... It whistles and gestures to the curtain, nodding its assent. Meanwhile, Helios looks over at Twilight. "What are you so scared about? It's just a game."

So thats how the game worked; take the money or the mystery prize. That seemed pretty easy. Kimen didn't know what 'zonk' was, but it sounded like a fun word. And fun words usually meant fun things. Maybe he'd try to volunteer next round.

(Drifter) Qupoma leans forward, looking at the M85 and the...floating..thing attached to it's head. She wonders what's going to happen, and what exactly this game has to offer.

Kent entered the room and looked around. His hood was pulled over his eyes so others wouldn't recognize him immediatly. However, Kimen was able to notice the sword by his side. Kent took a seat next to the child, probably the closest thing to a friend the ex-knight had in the group. A (long overdue) cigar sat in his mouth, finally lit after finding some dry matches. "This what we do for fun around here, kid?" Kent whispered quitely.

Twilight Sparkle rises to her hooves once again, calmly trotting up towards the stage with her mood buoyed somewhat by the reassurance from both Helios and Finn. "Ok, here goes...

Kahleen creeps around, clinging to the shadows, even if they run thin. The Thief kept one hand in her pocket, clutching a smoke bomb in case of...Interruption. She hasnt been spotted yet? Wow this IS her night. Kahleen smiled. She made her way behind the curtain. She lowered herself and lifted the bottom of the curtain to check on the crowd before she would turn to face..!

"700 gold." says Wayne as he holds the microphone to the M85 again.

(Drifter) Personally, Qupoma would've taken that in a heartbeat. That a lot of money. To her, anyway. But, the M85 appeared to show disinterest in taking the gold. This should be intersting

The M85 thinks for another moment. It glances nervously over at Helios' glowing green lens out in the audience. The circle of light slowly moves back and forth. the M85 shaks its head, jostling the little Metroid around as it motioned for the curtain again.

"I dunno. This is the first time I have seen a stage set up here. But it looked pretty neat, and free shows are fun. And this looks to be some kind of game where you can win stuff.." Kimen whispered in respose to Kent's question.

"Alright then. Ms. Tiffany, if you'd please." says Wayne as the lady holds her arm out pointing at the curtain. The curtain opens up, revealing Kahleen in front of what appears to be a kind of hot tub. A giant sign that says 'ZONK!' has been placed on it. Johnathon speaks up, "It's nacho cheese hot tub! Relax in this cheesey tub and hope that your belongings aren't pocketed away! This deal is worth nothing!"
"Ohhh, I'm so sorry, big guy! Go on back and take a seat please. Now then, for you.." says Wayne as he points towards Metroid, holding out an envelope. "I'm going to give you this envelope for free. What's inside, it could be a trip or it could be another zonk. You saw what happened to the big guy, so what about you? I'll give you 800 Gold to NOT take this envelope."

Kahleen watched as the light broke through the curtain, bombarding the shadows. She removed her hand from her pocket with the bomb in hand. "See! I told you that you would never own me! Hahaha!" Kahleen seemed to have looked through the opening curtain to where the voice was coming from. "NEVER!
Kahleen raised her arm. "Never, EVER, NEVER!" "Its not over yet! I'll get you!" Kahleen said just before she slammed the smoke bomb down. After a few moments, the curtains open and the smoke dissipates leaving what ever it was behind the curtain to sit just behind an old woman hunched over he cane.

Kent sighed. "I like winning things. I'll probably need something more than a sword and a box of cigars if I plan on staying here much longer."

The M85 looks sadly at the hot tub. As you talks to the thing perched on top of its head, the M85 becomes confused. Was there something up there? It shakes its head again and flails its gun around near it's head. The position of the shoulder joint prevented it from brushing it's head off, unfortunately. It looks over at Helios for some help.

(Drifter) Qupoma looked up at the hot tub full of nacho cheese and frowned. That would've been a great tub to relax in, now the cheese ruins it. She sighs, and wonders why this host is wasting it's timee with something that obviously cannot talk.

(Ivane) The Green Kirby decides to walk over and get a better view of the show from a seat. He sits down and refocuses on the show.

Metroid gives another skree, releasing the robot and looking at the nearest offered perch, the microphone, hopping onto it, likely causing static pops through all the speakers.

"Oho, I take it you really want the envelope! -1000- gold." says Wayne as disturbing slurping noises echoes through the speakers.

Kimen smiles widely at the cool prize. She wanted a zonk now! Just think how fun a prize like that was! Even if the guy said it was worth nothing. "I am going to try volunteering Mr. Kent. And maybe you should try! I bet you could win something as awesome as a Nacho cheese hot tub too!"

(Drifter) Qupoma flattens her ears, pressing them down with her hands. She couldn't stand that loud noise, her large ears didn't help much either!

Theres a loud -pop- as the microphone discharges badly into Metroid, frying a circuit in the process and stopping the noise from the speakers.

Kent tried to understand the child's ramblings. while he needed a bath, the yellow goo seemed less than ideal for hygene. Besides, the only thing worth cleaning he had was his sword, which he polished constantly as a nervous habit. "Kimen..." He asked, sounding more confused than usual since entering Truce,"What is... a nacho...?"

Taking the metroid's gesture of destroying the microphone as its insistance on the envelope, Wayne smiles and pulls out a spare microphone from inside his jacket as he proceeds to open up the envelope. "Alright, alright. I can see that you really want what's inside this envelope!" says Wayne as he pulls out a slip of paper from inside.
"It's a trip to Caspia! Take a five day cruise on the Sea of Wonders where you'll be stay at the seaside hotel and be treated to fancy squid while spending time on the famous Caspian beach! This deal is worth 1250 gold!" says Johnathon as Wayne gives the metroid a round of applause. "Well done, little guy! Prizes will be handed out after the show's over, so go ahead and take a seat! Now then, who else wants to make a deal?" asks Wayne in a deep, sexy manner as he heads through the chairs again.

From her place near the stage, the unicorbrarian watches as the microphone fails with a dismayed expression, before shaking her head. "I've been waiting to volunteer. WIth Celestia's blessing, I know I won't lose. After all, I AM Twilight Sparkle."

(Drifter) Qupoma removes her hands from her ears, as they perk upwards again. Then, she snaps her fingers. A trip? Man, some people get all the luck..it's a freaking Metroid! What good would that thing do for a cruise? It'd suck the place dry!
"Oh! I had to learn that too. it is a flat crunchy food you dip in some cheese and then you chomp it." As Kimen explained, he went through the motions of eating a chip to demonstrate, though upon hearing the announcement of a new round he leans forward in his seat, spilling some popcorn from his bag as he waves eagerly, "Memememememe!"

(Ivane) Raises his hand again for a chance to be apart of the game show.

Finn again raises his arms and waves them, trying to get attention.. but still not take it all away (potentially) from Jake. "Right here!"

Ms.Whittaker slowly makes her way off of the stage, down to the floors, and around the corner. Once out of site, Kahleen would quickly remove and return her disguise to her backpack. With a disappointing sigh, Kahleen returns to her seat in the back. She sits with her arms crossed as she casts a glare at a specific box. A look of determination has taken her and tends to ignore the host's search for new volunteers.

" interesting. I'll need to try this...'nacho'" Kent heard an announcement for a new volunteer. Kent stood up in an eligant way and removed his hood dramatically. with a smooth motion he signaled to himself, like a knight trained equally in ettiquite as he new combat. "I would like to submit myself as a volunteer."

Metroid floats back to the robotic perch happily, making a light clink on its skull as it still has the microphone in its mandibles.

"Let's see...you there, dressed up as the pony! And how about..ah, the lovely little moogle back there! Come on down, ladies! What are your names?" asks Wayne as he holds the microphone out towards them.

(Drifter) Qupoma blinks. How could he even see her? Nevertheless, she stands up, and heads down to the floor. "Qupoma." She says, as she stands there and looks at the stage. She still kind of confused about the whole ordeal, but she plays along.

With a nod, the Magic-bearing unicorn climbs up onto the stage with a small smile, horn taking on a faint magenta glow. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm hoping to win."

"This time we're going to do something a little different." says Wayne as Johnathon brings a prop to the stage. The prop seems to be a cardboard setup with five CD cases lined up on it vertically. The CD's say 'ROCK', 'R&B', 'COUNTRY', 'RAP', and 'METAL' on the fronts. "Ms. Sparkle, since I picked you first, you get to make the first pick. Here's how this works..."
"I've got a prize behind curtain #2 waiting for you. Johnathon and I will sing a song based on the CD you pick that will give you clues as to what's behind that curtain. So, pick a CD!" says Wayne as he makes a gesture towards the prop with the CDs.

The M85 notices the little alien settling back down on its head. It begins flaling around, trying to dislodge the Metroid. The M85 gets fed up after a moment of the Metroid stubbornly clinging to ti, and heads over to Helios for help. Helios looks the two of them over for a moment. "See your new hot tub? Try that." The M85 nodded, headed back to the tub and dunked its head in.

(Drifter) Qupoma looked over at Twilight, then to the stage. CDs? What's a "CD"? Despite not knowing, she said she'd play along, and that's what she's going to do. Hopefully.

Twilight says 'I think... I'll go with rock.'

"They are really really yummy." Kimen assures Kent, attention switching back and forth between him and the goings on on stage. She lets out an applause and a cheer for the new contestants, "GO GO GO!"

During all the flailing, Metroid drops the microphone, giving a skree and divebombing it, chewing on it before the stage as tje robot goes and dunks its head.

Finn is, naturally, cheering on the two ladies he at least recognizes up there! He's interested in them winning, 'cause.. y'know.. everyone wants to win, of course.

(Ivane) The green kirby looks over at Helios. He thinks for a moment and says, "Say...are you that Helios guy my brother is talking about?"

(Drifter) Qupoma blinks. I think I'll go with..Country?" She says, shrugging

Kahleen was starting to sulk. "Here I am. Putting myself in scene every night, juggling crime and injustice like they were damn chainsaws! And for what? A big bowl of cheese?" Kahleen was ready for round two since another distraction was set. She started to slide down her chair.
"Steal the microphone first! I'm sure the host has at least one more back up in his jacket! That would intimidate the box because you would have stolen the microphone infront of everybody! First strike fear into the heart of the box then defeat it by leaving with it." Kahleen froze. "Thats just-!" Kahleen thought for a moment. "Okay, I'll do it your way but I will hold you accountable!" Kahleen says out loud as she point in a random direction threateningly.

"Rock it is then!" says Wayne as he looks towards the stage, as if giving an order to some unseen undividual in charge of playing music through the speakers. At this time, a hip rock song(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH30qu6vj9Y) starts to play from the speakers!
"Would you like to, ride off in my wheels that are not APPROVED! But that won't stop me cruisin' baby, oh no no no it won't." sings Wayne. "Have some transportation, with anticipation. Don't mind the all the laws, your ride won't even be in the clause. Oh no no no no no." sings Johnathon.
"So come on baby and ride off with me into the sunset, sunset, into the night! Without any lights to speak, oh no no no no no." finishes Wayne.

The M85 pulls its head out of the hot tub full of cheese, flinging blobs of the gooey orange stuff everywhere. It gets up, wipes off it's lens and heads back to Helios. Helios looks over at Ivane. "We don't know, what does he say?"

"So, Ms. Sparkle. Based on that song, what do you think is behind curtain #2?" asks Wayne as he holds the microphone in front of her.

"Hm..." Narrowing her eyes in concentration, Twilight Sparkle brings one forehoof up to her chin. "Meteorites, asteroids, and comets... There's something they all have in common, besides being celestial objects, at one point, and it's that they're all earthbound..."

(Drifter) Qupoma rubs her ear some and glances over to Twilight. What did that have to do with the song? She continues to listen though.

"He just wanted to know if the M30 is almost done or is done. If it is done, I'll bring it back with me to his house. Also so you know, my name is Ivane. It's nice to meet you Helios."

"Um..could be. Or it could be a zonk. Who knows? I'll tell you what. I'll give you what's inside this envelope if you don't want the curtain. What do you say?" asks Wayne as he holds the microphone up to Twilight once more.

"Though I'm not like Rainbow Dash..." Twilight Sparkle lowers her right foreleg again, calmly looking towards the curtain. "I think I'll take my chances."

With that, Wayne gives a nod and looks over towards the curtain, "Ms. Tiffany, open curtain #2 please!" As she does so, the curtain opens up to reveal a partially completed vehicle. The frame isn't complete, it's missing headlights, and the engine probably doesn't work either. But it has a steering wheel! "It's a Runaway Runaway Five Tour Bus! Ride around town in this prototype car, complete with a slot for parking tickets on the front. This deal is worth nothing!" says Johnathon.
"Ohhh, I'm so sorry Ms. Sparkle. But thank you for playing! Take a seat, please. Now then, Ms. Qupoma..you said country, yes? Is that your..definitive response?" says Wayne with a grin, apparently trying to avoid copyright issues.

(Drifter) Qupoma looks up at you. "Well, if that's not a good choice, then how about R&B?" She asks, shrugging. By the look on her face, she doesn't know what to pick.

The box was just sitting up there laughing, taunting Kahleen. She leaned back in her chair and smiled sinisterly at it because boxy had no idea what was coming. As the contestants played along boxy became more quiet yet Kahleen's smile continued beaming, with no sign of fatigue.

"'Nothing ventured, nothing gained', as the adage goes..." With a soft sigh, Twilight Sparkle lowers her head, horn glowing as she - unexpectedly - teleports off the stage and back to her seat. "I did my best, so I can't regret that..."

Finn pats poor Twi on the back gently when she teleports back to her seat. "Hey, you tried!" He smiles at her. "Good try!"

Metroid continues to chew on the microphone, causing the thing to spark again, a shriek of feedback goes across the speakers before another pop happens, anyone near the metroid would smell the burnt circuitry as it skrees and flies up away from the now useless hunk of cylindrical technology.

"Kimen, do mine eyes decieve me or did that...steed just commit witchcraft?" Kent reached quitely for the hilt of his sword, his paranoia kicking in. "Does this normally happen?"

Kimen waited to hear the results, biting his nails lightly in anticipation. This game was exciting! And the stuff behind the curtains was pretty neat! He hopped she got a chance to go up there and win something. His concentration was broken however by Kent talking again, "Oh! Thats a unicorn. They do that since they are magical, and they aren't bad creatures from what I can remember of them." He glances nervously as Kent's hand goes to his sword, "They um--ulp...They are generally associated with the side of goodness and chastity. At least where I am from they are. Though I have never seen a purple one." (Kimen)

Ivane nods to Helios and grabs some gold coins out of his backpack, he says to Helios, "Alright here you go, and thanks. Lucky Nagol had given me about 500 gold for the M32." Ivane gives Helios 200 gold coins.

Sweetie Sweetie Belle covered her folded triangle shaped ears with size order of grinding her teeth. That savage, ignorant, uncooth monster make the microphone spit feedback before it finally ate the microphone. Not a pleasent thing to witness.

The M85 passes the now slightly cheezy crate to Ivane. Helios pockets the money, though it isnt really clear where he is putting it. "Thank you for your support. The M32 should answer to Nagol after you unpackage it."

"Good choice, madam!" says Wayne as he gives another nod to the hidden staff in the back. The speakers come to life once more as they begin to play a R&B song. "MmmmmMMMmmm, Qupoma. Don't listen to what Johnathon toldya. Baby I just wanna talk to yoooou. Baby talking is juuust, what I doooo. I can call anyone anytiiiiime! Dr. Wily even lets me rhyyyyme!"
Sure, I was built by a drunken man. And my frame is as tin as a can. But baby just give me a while! I'll put the cleft on the dial." sings Johnathon. "PDI can do anything, ya pretty moogle. Touch my screen and I'll get ya google. Just be sure not to send me to strife! I only have...six hours of battery liiiiiiife." finishes Wayne. '
"So, Ms. Qupoma. Based off of that song, what do you think might be behind curtain #3?" asks Wayne as he holds the microphone up to her.

(Drifter) Qupoma does her best to remain stoic. "Um, well, gee..that's a difficult one. From what you said, I'm going to have to guess a..phone of some sort?" She says, a bit of hesitation in her voice.

"Well, I suppose that's true..." The unicorbrarian gives Finn a wan smile, before flicking her ears in Kent's direction and turning to look with a curious expression. "What's this now...? I can assure you I don't mean any harm. And, as you heard me say, my name's Twilight Sparkle."

(Drifter) Qupoma lets out a soft "Hmm". "Well, seeing how the other curtain didn't go over so well, I think I'll vouch for the Envelope." She says, wanting to play it safe.

"Thanks again, I'm going to come back as soon as I get back to his house. This is a really good show." Ivane takes the crate and runs off to the north, he soon returns in a couple minutes and slides into his seat.

Sweetie decided to sit down on the floor next to Kent and then paid all her attention to the game show. "Maybe I should donate some prizes to help promote the Boutique

"Twilight Sparkle? I don't like twilight." Kent began. "Picture this. The stars go out, and one by one each creature of the night comes closer to the world. Slowly, with the last flickering light, the demons play. My blade grows heavy in the twilight." Kent leaned in toward the purple steed. "The twilight doesn't sparkle. The twilight howls with rage."

Helios turns to the M85. "You know, you look absurd with all that cheese all over your head. Go wash it off." The M85 salutes smartly, getting some excess cheese all over it's pincer and then flicking it into the crowd when it moves the arm back. It went off to the fountain to clean itself off while Helios noticed Sweetie. "Oh, yes. Excuse us, Sweetie, but your sister told us that you might like a spare mining drone for your gem- finding excursions. Could we interest you in purchasing one?"

Sweetie says ' Oh well, I might have some interest in that. They look a lot more expensive than a sewing machine though. I wonder how big the owner's manual is?'

"People hunted them for their horns because they are said to cure anything. Its kind of a mean thing to do though." Kimen continued to ramble nervously, even though the topic had strayed. The idea of 'twilight howling with rage' was kind of scary thing to say. All the scariness went away though as it sounded like a new round was starting. Kimen immidiately jumps up from her seat, waving her arms in excitement, "MEEEEE--oh." She looked down with a rather sad expression as she realized she forgot to secure her popcorn bag and it fell to the floor, spilling its contents everywhere. (Kimen)

"Alright then, the envelope is yours. But first, let's take a look at what's behind that curtain, just for the sake of 'What if you had picked it?'. Ms. Tiffany, curtain #3 please!" says Wayne as Tiffany performs a gesture, pulling the curtain back! What lies behind the curtain is an enormous phone, with DRN-1337 imprinted on the side.
"You could have won a personal Phone Man! This robot, crafted by a drunk Dr. Wily at Dr. Wily's Lab, can place calls all over the cleft using its limited data plan! This deal was worth 750 gold." says Johnathon. Phone Man seems insulted at its value, and simply walks off stage. "That would have been your prize, Ms. Qupoma! But that's okay, because now you have this envelope, which..." (Wayne)
Wayne trails off as he opens up the envelope, revealing the words 'Altamira Special!' on a slip of paper within. "It's an Altamira Boardwalk getaway! Spend seven days in Wutai, all meals and hotel expenses covered. Plus, bring up to three friends with you for free all day passes to the famous Altamira Boardwalk and experience its attractions! This deal is worth 2000 gold!" says Johnathon.
ayne claps and gives Qupoma a pat on the back, "Well done, Ms. Qupoma! Take a seat please! Now then, it looks like time is running out folks. So I need just one more contestant for..the BIG DEAL OF THE DAY!"

Finn notices that they're out for the big deal of the day.. and he quickly looks over at Jake. He snags Jake, and lifts him up, waving him about like a flag! Surely they'll notice a kid with a bulldog, right? "Oh! Oh! Man, super prizes and stuff, right here!" Why try not to outshine Jake.. when he can simply TEAM UP?! It's like a Marvel team-up, except it happens way more often.

(Drifter) Qupoma wordlessly walks up to her seat and sits down. When she gets there, she has a wide smile on her face and is making giddy giggling noises. Well, that surpassed her expectations..

Sweetie scracthed under her chin with her hoof in thought. Then she turned her attantion to Kent's angery chantings, and Kimen talking about unicorn hunts. "WHAT! PEOPLE HUNT UNICORNS?! ARE THEY INSANE! IF I DON'T FIND A STALLION SOON ARE WE'RE GOING TO GO EXTINCT?"

"Well, They do have an AI construct that controls them. All you need to do is order it to dig wherever and look for specefic minerals. Nothing too complex." Helios drifts around Sweetie as he talks, coming to a stop above Kimen's head. He looks down. "Oh dear, did you spill your popcorn little kid?"

Kahleen jumps up from her seat with her held high...Holding a dagger? She gasped "Oh!" She returned the dagger to a random strap on her pants."Choose me, enticing host! I wish to subject myself to your tricks." Kahleen took a deep breath. "Trick me, oh for I am a fool." She said unconvincingly as her arm waved. "Come on Kahleen! You can do better!" She would grit her teeth before smiling so hard it looks her face is about to rip in half. "AHHHH! I WANNA PWAY!" She screamed, jumping up and down.

Jake starts to bark loudly, hoping to draw Wayne's attention and to pick him and Jake. (Wayne)

Metroid floats back down, oblivious, and makes his way toward one of the speakers, hugging it, as he does with all of the creatures and technology in the world... yes, a hug, because everything is tasty.

"You there, lady with the dagger! Congratulations! You get a chance to pick the BIG DEAL OF THE DAY! Come on down!" says Wayne as he points towards Kahleen. "What's your name?"

Sweetie says ' Cover your ears everypony! the alien thing is near sound equipment again!'

"What...?" Twilight Sparkle raises her right eyebrow, getting up and trotting over. "You've got to be kidding me. Do I even REMOTELY look like I'm going to start summoning things that can hurt you? Give me a break..."

"Aw." Finn settles down and chuckles, patting Jake on the head. "Well, maybe next time, bud." If there is a next time. Who knows? And who exactly is funding this crazy show? Hm. Well, no big deal. He leans back and relaxes, passing the time before the exciting parts by messing with Jake's pliable face. Squishsquish.

(Drifter) Qupoma looks over at Sweetie, then she ;looks around, seeing the..thing...hugging a speaker. She covers her long ears with her hands.

Kimen shoulders sag a bit when he isn't picked for the last round, but is still plenty excited to see that his friend had been chosen, "GO FO-BE-LID!" He yells with a cheer, clapping and jumping up and down since he had yet to return to his seat. "DO IT AND THERE WILL BE WORLD PEACE!"

Ivane looks at the Metroid and says, "What the? Why is it hugging the speaker?"

Kent rose as the unicorn approached. "A break? Give you a break?" Kent pulled his cigar out of his mouth, and placed it in an ash tray on the table. "From where I come from, whichcraft is punishable by death, unless you confess." With a strong motion, Kent drew his sword and pointed. "Twilight Sparkle. Have you signed the black book of the devil?" Suddenly, Kent felt a bump on the back of his head. He turned around and was face to face with a sphere smaller than his head. The ball blinked at him. Kent immediatly forgot about the horse and swung his sword with both hands as a quick trained reaction, hitting Helios. "BEGONE, Will-o-the-whisp!"

Kahleen 's smile would remain over the top. "My name?" she struggled to say, what with her jaw clenched. She heard Kimen say the made up name that Kahleen had never put to memory. "Fobelid!" She spat out as she skipped merrily down to Wayne. "You could afford to pull back a little, I think!" Kahleen did just that and her smile retreated and came back as a smirk.
"I'm Fobelid! And I am just SO happy- that you PICKED ME!" She said as she reached her arms under Wayne's arms for a hug. This was it! Kahleen bumped into him when she reached in and tried to frisk his jacket pocket.

This is enough to make Twilight Sparkle take a few unconscious steps back, with her eyes widening in clear surprise as she's confronted with the sword. "W-what are you talking about...?" Her alarm doesn't last for very long, however, as it gives way to anger. "Don't you threaten me with that sword...! If you think I won't defend myself, think again!"

Helios drifted back as he tried to look over at the Metroid. "What is..." He came face to face with a panicked knight in mid- swing. "Oh, this wont end well." Helios was smacked down into the ground lens first, cracking the glass on impact. "GAH! Can't see! You jerk, agh!" Helios woozily rose back into the air, his lens spiderwebbed with cracks. "M85, Hostile detected! Hostile detected!"

"Glad to meet you Fobelid!" says Wayne as he hugs her, unknowing or perhaps uncaring that she's frisking him. She has -no- idea how rich he is. "Here's how this works. I have three boxes for you to choose from. One's a deal, one's a steal, and one's the BIG DEAL of the day, worth -7000- gold! Each box is numbered 1-3. Do you have a particularly lucky number, Fobelid?"

Kimen't cheering slowly deflated to a sqeek when Kent drew his sword. This was turning pretty ugly very very quick. "STOP IT! All of you!" Kimen half pleaded, half screamed, pointing up at the stage, "We shouldn't fight right now. Fobelid needs our support!" She didn't know if they would listen though.

Kahleen would withdraw from the hug removing another backup microphone from Wayne's jacked. She slipped it into her hoodie as she turned around, following Wayne's gesture. Kahleen gasped as she looked over at the boxes presented to her by Wayne. "Okay, okay. You can get me but I'm not worth it Kahleen!" "Helpah me Kahleen!" Now kahleen was confused as to what to do. "I've decided..." She said as her eyes narrowed to Boxy. "I choose two!"

Ivane decides not to intervene, this was his first day here in Cleft that he wasn't controlled by Darkmare.

The M85 dashed back from the fountain in order to come to Helios' aid, tts buzz-saw beginning to spin. It made a menacing warble as it stepped inbetween Kent and the still- panicking Helios. "Agh, M85, do something! We can't see!"

Metroid lands on helios and begins trying to help him float, since he seems to be having troubles doing so himself, though as per usual, he does take a small nibble of energy.

"Box two, is it? Alright then. Tiffany, show us what's inside box one!" says Wayne as Tiffany pulls up the first box. Inside is a prop displaying 'Trip to Lasacul!"
"It's a trip to Lasacul! You would have spent five nights in this remote town as you take a paid tour through the Water Palace. You would also have enjoyed a series relaxing sessions playing Triple Triad with the dragons of Lelanol's Lair! This deal was worth 1800 gold." says Johnathon. Wayne pats Fobelid on the back, "Alright, so now we're down to two boxes! ONE of these is the BIG DEAL..and one of these..is a zonk. Are you ready for this?" asks Wayne.

Kent raised his shield and jumped onto the table, getting the high ground. Twighlight and a metal demon approached him. "I'll gut you both, stan spawn!" Suddenly Kent noticed Kimen cowering in fear. The child couldn't be hurt. Kent might be exiled from his order, but he wasn't going to stand for an innocent child's blood. (multi-post)

"You're not kidding, are you." With a resigned sigh Twilight Sparkle nods slowly, keeping her gaze even as she takes mental notes of Kent's posture. "Since I'm not going to have any other option... Fine. I'll be there tomorrow, to show you that Princess Celestia's star student can keep her word! Don't be late!"

Kent threw his hood up stepped down to the floor. "Good night, Kimen." he said, surprisingly calmly, and turned away. The ex-knight wouldn't end his crusade this easily, so he left to prepare. He was tired.

"Look! I'm sorry okay! Dont defeat me, Kahleen." "Helpah-HELPAH MEEE!" Kahleen looked between the two. "Yes..." She sighed and simply said "Three." Her had kind of hung. "Ha! I knew you could defeat me! Hahahaha!AHAHAHAHAAAaa!" Kahleen looked at Wayne to continue.

"Tiffany, show us what's behind box three please." says Wayne as Tiffany proceeds to lift up box three, revealing a handful of bolts and washers! "Leftovers from the highly skilled mechanics in Wily's Lab, this collection of unused parts is sure to please any mechanical zealot. This deal is worth nothing!" says Johnathon. Wayne takes his arm away from Fobelid and starts to clap. "Congratulations, Fobelid! You've just won the BIG DEAL of the DAY! Tiffany, box one please!"
As Tiffany opens up the giant box one, inside is a ghostly motorcycle and a prop that says 'Trip to Haunted Wasteland!'
"It's a Phantom Motorcycle and a trip to the Haunted Wasteland! This multi-engine motorcycle was built using the souls of the damned in a mystical transmutation from another world, capable of exceeding any and all speed limitation laws in the cleft in a doable-but-not-reccomended-manner! Plus, take your new ride on a paid trip to the Haunted Wasteland, where you will spend two weeks taking a tour of the Spirit Temple, dining with gigantos, and staying with the Gerudo while watching their ever present dissent towards one another! This big deal is worth -12500- gold!" says Johnathon as Wayne gives Fobelid another hug. "Congratulations! Thank you very much for playing!"

Ivane claps at Fobelid for her victory. Ivane says, "This has been very nice evening, and thank you Mr. Wayne for hosting this great event! I think I should head back to Nagol's and check up on him." Ivane stands up and heads North.

"You are about to choose revenge against saving a soul? Kahleen...Have you no heart?" Kahleen swats at the unseen. Kahleen draws a dagger and charges at Tiffany! She thrusts her dagger at the box she was standing next to and Kahleen raises her blade, cutting the box upward. While in motion, she spins and kickcs the box of bolts and washers over before sheathing her dagger.

"Uhg...You..You killed me! Do me one last favor, will ya? Tell my wife...I said hello ahh-" "Ya saveded me! Thankah you, Kahleen!" Kahleen smiled as she watched a yellow spirit float off into the sky, that only she could see. She walked back over to Wayne and gave him a <3hug before returning to he chair in the back.

"Wow. I misread you...Sorry" Kahleen smiles. "Its okay. I had a good night tonight!"

Even as she makes further mental reminders, Twilight Sparkle turns to walk back for the tree-fort she's been using for shelter, yawning.

Kimen frowns as Kent leaves, not too worried about Kent to even realize the awesome prize Fobelid won. Was there anything she could do about the situation? Kimen swallowed, wrapping her arms about herself while she pondered this. What to do? what to do?
