“Of course it’s suspicious! The game is afoot! The order is being made by Rebecca,” Bogota points out. “If you don’t fulfill the order properly, you don’t earn any money, you know.”

"Ah...Is Rebecca trying to kill someone..?" Hisoka asked with a smile.

"These lips are sealed!" Bogota says smugly. "Are your killer senses going off?"

"I guess you could say that," Hisoka said, continuing to prepare the order. "But when you think about it...if a hermit crab kills and gets away with it, all the hermit crabs go free, right? So I can't say I'd be opposed to having another one in the mix. My ultimate goal is to escape, after all."

"Wow! That sends chills down my spine! Hisoka really is someone to be feared!" Bogota's voice wavers with appreciation. "Most people have your back, you know. They feel bad for you and your brother."
The cameras slowly come together using the piles of instructions and junk.

"...Well, compassion is nice, I suppose. I'll keep that in mind as I reach my goal."
Hisoka approached the voting machine. "Hmm, I wonder who Rebecca would target? Something in my gut says Sara Bella, but...oh, I don't know, that prediction might be outdated."

“Oh wow! All I can say is wow! I did not see that coming…” Bogota says, truly saying too much and nothing at all.
“We will have to see how you do! After all, this could be a massive reversal of fortune.”

"Hey, Bogota, what happens if a king crab ends up killing more than one person..?" Hisoka asked. "How would that reflect in our votes?"

“They would be let free unless the voters say both the people they killed! Duh! Obviously!” Bogota says. “Sorry bro I know you try your best but I feel like it was obvious.”

"Oh...I meant more like...if they kill two people, and we vote for the second person killed chronologically, would we still get 10 points? Stuff like that..."

“Oh, uh, of course!” Bogota says nervously. “I think that you get points if they are the first person killed. Half points if second. You can predict both as well, but who knows what will happen! These people are all thinking about killing!”

"...Why do you sound so hesitant about it?" Hisoka asked, catching on to the nervousness.

“Well I didn’t think of that! Sorry you caught me!”
Bogota whimpers, “Well hopefully what I just said works.”

"Uh, okay, then..." Hisoka nodded. "I guess it doesn't matter...I doubt something like that would happen, anyways."
The puppeteer peered down the long passageway once more.
"Hey, I think I might venture down this way before the next killing happens...see what I can find."

“You should probably pack a burger with you, unless you don’t like that kind of food?” Bogota says.

"Do robots even need to eat..?" Hisoka asked. "Maybe the hunger I'm feeling is just a result of programming...as a way to get us to act more like humans."
Hisoka's stomach rumbled.
"...Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to eat, regardless. Let's see...I'd like a deluxe sashimi set, please...extra wasabi...I like things spicy..."

“Wait come on, the delivery is going to be so expensive! I will get you it though, that’ll be .1 points!” Bogota says. “And I’m taking first pick!”

"It's my lunch for the trip...don't take any of my fish," Hisoka snapped.

“But I need to eat too, you know! I make commission based on how much you buy! For food I can take a little off the top!” Bogota sounds stressed as he hands a plate through the gap in the wall.

"I'm gonna buy less if you steal my food," Hisoka warned, taking the plate of sashimi. "Get me a lunchbox, too...any old cheap one will do."

“Come on, please I’m starving!” Bogota hands Hisoka a lunch box. “I’m your friend! Your ally!”

"To be honest, Hisoka, sometimes in life, you have to take risks. This show is expensive. I haven't made much over the years as an actor, and much of my money went down the drain the last time I trusted someone to help produce a show..." Bogota sighs, a sliver of sadness in his voice. "So, yeah, I cut down on the non-essentials, anything that isn't helping my brand has to be cut. Such as food."

"Hey! What do you mean by that! I'm a fun host. Nobody's even really died yet. Except your puppets. Shouldn't you be the most on my side?" Bogota points out, neglecting to point out how Hisoka and Jackson are robots now.

"Right..."
Hisoka headed towards the passageway, holding his lunchbox in one hand.
"What will I do if I find this key you were talking about, anyways..?"

"Wait just a second! I was emotionally vulnerable just now!"
"...Anyway, I'm all good now. Yeah, I don't know what you would do with a key," the screen hog replies.

"You...don't seem to grasp the gravity of this killing game," Hisoka sighed. "Or, more likely, you're just willfully ignorant to it."
The puppeteer began to head down the passageway.
"Ah...and, don't mistake my frivolous nature as some sort of willingness to get to know you... I'm not trying to get friendly or anything. This 'show' you put on has consequences...for the participants, and perhaps for you, too. I hope you remember that..."

"What? What's with this atmosphere?"
Bogota's voice fades into the distance.
Hisoka comes across an intersection in the cramped hallway. It's completely dark, but there's a way to the left and right. Lots of pipes run along the wall.

"...Huh...not even a hint..?"
Hisoka decides to head left.
