"Hello." A-SH Mk.11 nods softly as Dae points at their face. "My creator made me to be an assistant to them for their research. He is not too creative when it comes to names, he tells me.""As such, I am 'Astrophysical Support-Helper.' This current form is my eleventh iteration, as such, 'Eleven' is the title I am often referred to as. You and any others can refer to me with any name you wish, as I do not have a proper name to begin with."Then, they put a hand to their chin, in an attempt to appear as though they're thinking, when something like that isn't exactly necessary. "I do not have any relevant information stored about you, or your band and genre of music. As I am here to not only compete, but to learn, I hope we can get along in the future, so I may learn about what makes you well known." "Wooow that's crazy. I hope you, uh, learn a lot! And I think Ash is cooler name than "Eleven", by the way." Dae smiles and gives them a thumbs up. When he turns around, more weird, loud people have appeared. He just raises his eyebrows, blinks and goes to sit down somewhere quietly bc this is my third post. This is sure to become a hit reaction gif among his fanbase.

The sound of the stairs being taken fast as humanly possible, and then a young man in a cowboy hat appears. He slings the overstuffed dufflebag over his back and looks deeply and directly into the first camera he can see. He looks with passion and intensity and points at the camera, and says in a voice and with a sweaty face that makes it clear he's been nearby psyching himself up for at least ten minutes. "I JUST DECIDED THAT I'M GOING TO PLAY THIS GAME AS A GOOD HONEST MAN OF THE LORD, AND I'M CHANGING MY WHOLE PLAN 'CAUSE THE LORD SPOKE TO ME. I'M NOT GONNA HIDE MY LIGHT! I AM COLE-BRANDON LONGHORN, NEPHEW TO THE INFAMOUS AND CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN AN EXTREMLY HIGH PROFILE DIVORCE AND POSSIBLE MURDER CASE, RUSSLE LONGHORN. I HAVE DECIDED THAT AS A GOOD HUSBAND TO MY WIFE AND FATHER TO OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY SON, MATTHAIS-METHUSALUH-MORTIMER WARRIOR OF REDWALL, I HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME AS AN HONEST MAN." He then calms down a little bit and seems a lot more normal.
"Oh holy crap, Dae-seon Kim of 4*SHORE! fame?! Me and the family are huge fans! If you ever need anything, I'm your man. " He says trying to give an elaborate handshake to the hit singer, and while doing so showing off his visible sleeve tats, which depict mice and other woodland creatures with swords and crap in the style of a tapestry.

Rosemary raised a brow at Ava's comment, an amused smirk on her face.
"Heh, I'll choose to take that as a compliment. Believe me, I know I pull it off," she chuckled, sassily flipping her bangs out of her eye... right before they covered it again. She then brought her attention back to Hisoka once Ava lost interest. Her amused smirk quickly turned to a look of concern and surprise as the man and his puppets began to argue amongst one another. She began to slowly back away, watching the horrific show unfold before her eyes.
"H-Ha, nice to meet you three! Oh, look at that, I forgot my bag over there! Silly me. I should probably go get it. I look forward to talking to you three later...!"
After finding that amazing excuse, she quickly scurried away to her duffel bag. And then the man in a cowboy hat showed up and began to speak in the loudest voice imaginable. She let out a sigh and grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder once more.
"Quite the, uh... colorful cast," she half-heartedly chuckled. This was gonna be a long game...

"Ah..."
Poor Hisoka raised the hand carrying Lotus at Rosemary as she escaped the vicinity of his unpleasantness. He looked at his two puppets incredulously, blaming them for making a bad first impression.
"You two went ahead and did it again...scaring nice people like that. You guys should be ashamed...One of you will need to be punished for this."
Milk and Lotus screamed in unison.

The tall and bright individual stood, bewildered and in astonishment that stars grandiose entrance of smoke and glitter had gotten the attention of no one. He gave a notably disappointed frown before straightening his posture, dusting themself off, and fixing stars tie (which most definitely didn't need fixing but was a simple habit). Running stars hands through stars hair, they brushed glitter and dust out of their golden locks.
"Well, so much for that." He muttered, glancing off into a unoccupied corner with a look of distance in stars eyes. Though, with a turn of their head, the look was gone at once it came.
Looking out into the group of havoc and disarray, he caught notice of the peculiar man with puppets upon his hands, having a full blown discussion as if they were genuine living things. The sight threw Anastasio for a loop and he had themself rubbing at stars own eyes to see if star was hallucinating. The reality that he wasn't actually amused them beyond anything, and they found themself walking towards the anomaly, welcoming the chaos with open arms.
"Well! Would you look at this peculiar sight! A ventriloquist with real life creatures for puppets? Oh, what a twist!"
They cast a beaming smile down at the unappealing man and his two amusing puppets, unable to contain his enthrallment with such a disastrously ridiculous sight. Such a thing was bound to get the crowd roaring!
"Milk, Lotus; it is a pleasure!" He extended his hands, to . . . shake? The puppets' hands? What on Earth was he doing and why! Tune in next time on-

"Howdy Y'all sorry I'm late!" A petit copper haired woman in fully jockey attire steps into the room setting her suitcase by the door. She then proceeds to with her best imitation of a gallop into the center of the room and wait till all eyes and cameras were on her. "My name is Sara Bella, and not only am I here to win, I am here to show everyone just why Horses are the coolest animals in the world!" Ending her proclamation in a cute pose, Sara quickly looks around the room realizing she might have bitten off more than she could chew with this. She quickly makes her way back to her suitcase as she pulls out a locket of a horse and whispers to herself "Oh Carrot I wish you were here with me buddy."

With Sara Bella speaking up, all fifteen players in the room have introduced themselves.
All that's left to do is idly chat in the sitting room and await further instructions.
[Post limit is now lifted! Feel free to talk as much as you want.]

"So," Ava clears her throat loudly, glancing down at her nails while looking very restless after sitting for a grand total of less-than-ten minutes. "Looks like this show really..."
She looks around the room, pursing her lips in what could only be described as very judgmental amusement as her eyes trail around the ensemble cast.
"Went all out with the casting, huh? I mean, we've got a sleazy used-car salesman, the most boring and generic-looking dude imaginable wearing all brown, a cosplayer in some robot costume -- that I'm like, honestly shocked I don't know where they're from-- and the creepiest guy I've seen since my last shift, torturing some sock puppets."
"I thought I was gonna be with a bunch of hot celebrities or something, this sucks..."

" He says trying to give an elaborate handshake to the hit singer, and while doing so showing off his visible sleeve tats, which depict mice and other woodland creatures with swords and crap in the style of a tapestry. Dae is shaken around, with a look of pure shock on his face. "WOAH HEY DUDE!! Thanks for your support! Your whole family likes our music?!? That's awesome! Um... Cool tattoos!" He smiles cheerfully, ending the handshake. He spots the horse girl who just came in. "Did you two, like, come here together?" Dae asks, pointing at both Sara and Cole. He also side-eyes Ava.

"My, my! So many of you darlings are already quite ambitious! Look at you!" Lyric mused, making a sweeping gesture towards some of the more flamboyant cast members, like the puppeteer, the ringleader, the two ladies who are already throwing hands and prickly words, the cowboy, and even the goth lady, who seemed like she could handle herself pretty well.
And then she cast her eyes upon the more reserved people in the room; those who'd chosen to not make such an entrance, or who seemed to be nervous, or just having trouble coming out of their shells. She could look into them in due time. Perhaps now was the time to scope out those who were a bit more rambunctious; some of the performers, perhaps? But so many choices!
In the end, Lyric settled on Anastasio and Hisoka. She approached the two moments after Anastasio had closed the distance between starself and Hisoka. "That was quite the show the both of you put on!" Lyric proclaimed, casting a sympathetic look toward Anastasio and adding, "Shame yours didn't seem to take, my dear Ringleader. You can bet I took notice, though, and--you know what?" She proceeded to applaud enthusiastically, interspersing a "Good show!" every few claps. She made a point to aim a few of them at Hisoka in case he felt left out. She figured that was enough and awaited a response.

Raphael crossed her arms and threw up one of her hands, “Nice to meet you then, Ava. I’d be mindful of how you speak though….at least within earshot of others.”
She made note of the more colorful entrances, seconding what Dae had said, “It does seem like you two have Similar interests.” She directed the words to the two newer members, Sara and Cole. “That seems like a fun coincidence maybe?”
She then turned her attention the group of Hisoka, Lyric and Anastasio, “and it seems you three have a penchant for performing…..”
She tapped her finger to the side of her mouth, thinking, “Interesting, I wonder if the casting was decided with these similarities in mind….especially seeing how Dae and Jackson too already seem to know each other….” She laughed awkwardly, “Sorry…. I’m just rambling to myself now” She said more quietly to herself, noting all these observations. It seemed like she was dividing people based on their introductions.

"Did you two, like, come here together?" Dae asks, pointing at both Sara and Cole. He also side-eyes Ava. Cole-Brandon laughs and shakes his head. "No, I don't enter into an enclosed vehicle with any woman I'm not wedded to in holy matrimony." He adjusts his hat and duffle before continuing. "Not that Sara Bella doesn't seem to know a thing or two about horseflesh! That carrot looks a beautiful horse ms. Sara bella if you don't mind me saying." Cole-Brandon then opens up his duffle and pulls a picture of him and a horse that he got printed at a Walmart. "Her name is Honey" he proudly displays the picture of him on a horse.

Ava, with eyes like a hawk looking through a sniper scope, notices Dae giving her the stink eye and starts to glare intently back at the young man until Raphael addresses her, which easily steals her attention. Raphael crossed her arms and threw up one of her hands, “Nice to meet you then, Ava. I’d be mindful of how you speak though….at least within earshot of others.” "Pfft..." She swipes at the air with her hand, buried within the confines of her sleeve just like her main reference image, wow, "I can say whatever I want about people if it's true. Not like they're gonna do anything about it anyways. And besides, I'm adorable enough to get away with it, so it's NBD."

"I'll be looking forward to jamming out with you, Lyric. This'll be so exciting!"
Decker's eyebrows raises as Sara Bella expressed how she'll proves that horses are the best animals ever.
"An horse enthusiast? Boooring! That's way boring than the skateboarding I've been doing my entire life!" Decker remarked as he toss his duffle bag onto a empty seat. He then puts his skateboard on the floor and hops onto it. Finally, He did a ollie. "At least I can performs some rad tricks!"
He then looks to the man in the cowboy hat. "Uh... Should I call you Cole? Or Brandon? Either way, you got some sick tattoos. I approve of 'em." He gives a thumb-up.

The grungy-aesthetic woman crossed her legs and leaned forward, setting her elbow on her knee and propping her face up with her hand, touching her own burned side of her face, eyeing Ava with her milky-blind eye. Despite responding to rude tone of the young lady, Raphael maintained a light hearted smile.
“Is that so? You are pretty confident about that? That’s interesting… I don’t doubt you won’t face immediate repercussions, though as a piece of friendly advice, some things are better kept to yourself. Especially when you are on live TV.” She sat back in the seat again, closing her eyes and shrugging. “There are merits I guess to wearing your heart on your sleeve though.”
She pulled out some cigarettes and looked around, “Hmmm…. Were we privy to any rules on smoking before we entered…”

Ava giggles, loudly, while staring in Raphael's direction, and flashes the most genuine smile she's shown since she arrived. Which isn't saying much, but, still. "It's hard to not be confident when you're as perfect as I am. Pluuuuus," She stares directly at the closest camera, angling her head up so she can wink directly at it while sticking her tongue out just past her lips, "The folks at home are gonna love me if I'm always saying all the juicy stuff!" She looks back across the rest of the group, her lips curling almost into a smirk, before receding as she fixates on the other woman's cigarette.
"So I don't see any reason to deny all my future superfans what they want so badly."

Keeping her eyes closed, she laughed lightly at Ava’s brash response. “Alright fine then, just thought I’d let you know, but I don’t see me changing your mind. Though, things can always change on a dime.” Without clarifying what she meant, she pulled out a single cigarette from her pack.
“Well, I don’t see anyone running to stop me,” and pulled out a lighter to light the cigarette.

Dae ignores Ava's glare for the time being. Cole-Brandon laughs and shakes his head. "No, I don't enter into an enclosed vehicle with any woman I'm not wedded to in holy matrimony." He adjusts his hat and duffle before continuing. "Not that Sara Bella doesn't seem to know a thing or two about horseflesh! That carrot looks a beautiful horse ms. Sara bella if you don't mind me saying." Cole-Brandon then opens up his duffle and pulls a picture of him and a horse that he got printed at a Walmart. "Her name is Honey" he proudly displays the picture of him on a horse. "Wow, you sure are an honest and loyal man, after all... great! Good for you! What a lovely horse." He smiles and nods while playing with the dolphin charm on his necklace.

"What a cast we have here," Rebecca said, looking around the room now that everyone had arrived. Like Raphael she seemed to be mentally dividing the participants up into groups, though probably along different criteria. She seemed slightly uncomfortable as she did so, though. She caught herself nearly fidgeting with her glasses again, and forcefully put her hands down and stepped forward to try and distract herself.
"You two, strong guys," she called out, pointing between Decker and Cole-Brandon in turn. "You seem like good, respectable people. I hope you'll be carrying our bags for us? It's a travesty we have to struggle with our own luggage like this. We're guests in this manor!"

"Haha, yeah... Carry everyone's luggage, sure..." Decker laughed before he realized what he said. "HUH?! You mean I had to carry everyone's luggage? That's a lot of luggage to move around!"
... Was Decker not paying attention to what Rebecca actually said?

"That's right," Rebecca said, unable to hide a slight sneer. "You and the cowboy. You're the strong guys, right? You've got to show off your best traits to succeed here! Appeal to the audience, show off your gentlemanly side."

" I thought I was gonna be with a bunch of hot celebrities or something, this sucks..." "I don't sell cars, kid! I sell success!" Jackson elucidated, snapping his fingers a few too many times for it to be stylish. "And I don't even sell it! I'm practically giving it away! So you know if the winner of this whole contest would happen to need a little help acclimating to the world of superstardom, well, you know where to find me..." "I mean, just, look at Dae! He's doing great it seems!"

"Aw, c'mon, Becs!" Rosemary butted in, placing her hands on her hips. "They don't have to carry everyone's luggage up! I mean, they'd get all sweaty and shi-- erm, stuff, not to mention worn out. I mean, sure, they're big, burly men, but we should prove we're able to lug our own shit -- sorry, stuff -- around ourselves. It ain't that hard, right?"

As Ava takes Felix's seat that was offered to Hisoka, Felix's disposition shifts just a little bit, but not by much. He is temporarily distracted by more newcomers and gives them a nod in greeting before turning back to Ava.
"...I'm deeply sorry about your parents, Ava. They meant well." Felix says cryptically before turning to Raphael at the mention and show of cigarettes and a lighter, seeing that Hisoka had himself sorted out without needing further assistance.
"You may want to wait until at least after we're shown to the next part of this game. You'll want to save those for when you need them most." he advises Raphael before turning to Rebecca at the mention of people carrying her luggage.
"Are you sure you want the audience to know you're pushy and easily trust strangers with your prized possessions?" Felix questions, his face genuinely concerned.
Felix doesn't seem to wait for responses as he takes a different seat with his suitcase and seems to finally relax, knowing that everyone was finally here.

Raphael held her suitcase closer to her at the offering of someone else carrying it for her, “Actually, I can take my own suitcase, I don’t need help from a stranger. Doesn’t seem like they want too, anyways. I am sure if you ask nicer though, they’ll at least carry yours, Rebecca.”
She turned over to Felix, making sure he was in the vision of her good eye, and sighed. “I suppose, I did bring a few extra packs, but they may not last me….. not with this crowd…..” She muttered the last part more quietly before putting her items away, and speaking louder again, “I wonder what the next part of the game will be like….”
Raphael then founded herself frowning at the man who had first greeted her when she entered, “Success…..? People really pay for such intangible things these days….”

"I think... Felix speaks some truth regarding our prized possessions." Decker replied as he hops off his skateboard, then, using a foot to push down on one end of the board. He grabs the other end with a hand.
"I wouldn't dare dream of entrusting someone with looking after my board! I got this board two weeks ago after I busted my previous one." The young man held his board up for everyone to see. The design on Decker's skateboard seems to be the word 'cool' done in a graffiti style.

Raphael seemed taken back a bit, as she looked genuinely confused, “Huh…? I don’t think you know what those words even mean.” She shook her head, instinctively reaching for a cigarette before stopping, “Well as long as you aren’t charging for it…. Though, that just leaves you vulnerable to getting taken advantage of if you rely on strangers kindness, you know….it’s a dog eats dog world out there….”

"Incorrect." A-SH Mk. 11 chimes in, having stood silently for a while as everyone else conversed. "The world 'out there' has not, and will never be about dogs consuming the flesh of other dogs. It is in poor taste to spread misinformation, but I do not believe your words were intentionally malicious..."
They nod their head slowly. "But we should all be cautious, as we are being televised. Any single person at home can listen to our words, and they might intrinsically trust them, given that we seem to be important, as we are on television."
If they heard Ava's comment about being a weird cosplayer, they either ignored it, or were too confused because they do not know what a 'cosplay' is.
