Before this, I must say I don't particularly care for placements in the slightest. I came to this competition merely to bless your days with Ascensionism, and I must say I fuckin' love the fans of mine who stayed loyal to me and my goal. Shades, Fabrice, Miles, and New York Pizza were all fine foes and deserved their victories, so please keep civil, don't be a no-good blood sucking monster about this all. This time was a most interesting one, I could have left at any moment, yet the people here were interesting and of course could've used used the help to stop the devil from breaking down them down. On that note, I do give my condolences to who we've lost, I was always interested in the anomalies of the Eilish family's newer members, and it saddens me for things to have ended how they did (and if you are reading this, Cici, please know that I sincerely believe Stella's been born into a new life as of now, Yeezus walks for both of you, and I hope you two meet again one day). In spite of my final placement, I hope my followers wave their lighters and middle fingers in the air one last time, I hope this isn't too somber of a note. In the end, once we do come back for this all again, I'll be sure to come back stronger than I've ever been, just for all you. Keep counting the hours my friends, I bid this goodbye for now.

KANYE QUEST: My Ascension, it's..complete.
KANYE QUEST: I feel such an exhilarating feeling.
*A bright flash engulfs Kanye Quest and objects nearby, alerting everyone else on the surface world. It seems as though, a certain "change" has occurred to Kanye Quest.*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15th Place - Kanye Quest. While you weren't the most popular 0-2 fighter, it seems as though some of your followers enjoyed your presence. (Average Percentage: 41.6%)

Round 1 - Kanye Quest is defeated by Etroup and becomes the very first loser of Rave Week. (56% - 46%)

Losers Round 1 - Kanye Quest loses to New York Pizza Time, a fan favorite (60.8% - 39.2%)

CHARACTER: ANNOUNCER-TRON

Now that the original organizer has abandoned the tournament (as far as we're concerned), there had to be someone else to take his place. With no one wanting to take the role, he had to get creative. And uh... this is the result of that.  Introducing the Announcer-tron, your new host of the Mash Pit! Including an unspecified amount of voicelines and potentially some raccoons inside of it. Batteries included!

(Huey sits awake in his cabin, knowing theres only a few more moments until hes paired to fight. The host's unexpected leave has taken a toll on the rest of the contestants, but has confused Huey the most. ToeJam is there for support, and Earl is waiting outside.)

TOEJAM: Ayyy, there's the big man of the hour!... Why aren't you asleep? Our pairings are gonna release soon.
HUEY: Don't pretend like nothing happened. We're gonna be stuck in this damn hole.
TOEJAM: Yeah yeah, alright, whatever. It ain't that big of a deal, since I'm pretty sure he controls the host anyway.
HUEY: "I'm pretty sure" doesn't confirm it. He's probably already gone in some other random country for all we know, and there's no way he could control something so far from him.
TOEJAM: ...Man, you gotta learn how to stop being so moody.
HUEY: I ain't moody, I'm just lookin' at it in the most sensible way. We're breaking out once I get the chance to prepare.
TOEJAM: Dawg! We're not starting a revolution. Just let it go with the funky flow, and they'll let us outta here eventually.
HUEY: Do you know why they put us in a TOURNAMENT of all things?
TOEJAM: ...What?
HUEY: They put us in a tournament because these men are tryna kill us for their entertainment. Only one of these groups are getting out of here alive, and I'm just not gonna let that flow!
TOEJAM: ...
TOEJAM: ...You trippin'.
RILEY: Can y'all stop fuckin talkin?!? Mans tryna SLEEP!!! Y'all been talkin about that man for years, I'm just tryna get paid when I win.
TOEJAM: Aight. It's almost morning anyway, so I should be goin.
1a: And why are you even awake, exactly?
TOEJAM: ...Uhm, us aliens are just born nocturnal I guess.
HUEY: You "guess"?
RILEY: if that aint the fakest shit i ever hearddd-
TOEJAM: Y'all hush now, get some rest while y'all still can. See ya both in a bit.
(ToeJam leaves their cabin, taking Earl with him.)
Huey: Alright.
(Huey sits in silence for a bit.)
Huey: ...
Huey: ...I ain't trippin.
