Exhibit: Wax Museum

Stupendiguy: "There's not really much call for a meeting considering you performed a whole song of suspicious behavior, but I think you'd be up for the showmanship."
Hidgens: "You'd be surprised how fast words fail after getting thrown out of the airlock."

To round off the first half of our inaugural round, we're returning to the wax museum where Hidgens and Stupendiguy seem to be discussing their placement in the grand scheme of things. In one corner stands the new version of the first of a long line of theatre reps, but standing in the other is an up-and-coming Fall Guy not willing to give up his ground for the little nerdcore reps get. Though their interaction may have been more peaceful than the last few, one still must come out on top. Vote responsibly.

Brian: "Welcome friends, I'm BDG- and I'll teach you how to dance properly!"
ENA: "Nice movings! What conspiracies are we cooking on the menu today?"

Our first round has finally comes to an end! And as such, our resident theorist Brian has decided to...well, he's doing something between interviewing and interrogating his questions, for there are so many questions to be asked! How did these two unlike folk come together for this tournament? How did ENA escape the Great Runas? Where even 𝘪𝘴 the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.? Will ENA and G-Man be unable to answer the unraveler's questionnaire, or has Brian bit off more than he could chew against the dancing new wave enthusiasts? In the end, it all comes down to you.
