After being discovered for his talent for puppeteering, Marinn was thrust into a violent game in which students are pit against each other. Thankfully, he was rescued, and... then was put into a completely different competition. Guess he never gets a break, huh? While he may not be great at fighting, (or interacting with others in general), he'll be sure to put on a great show. No strings attached!

Sourcelist:
- Songs associated with puppetry, dolls, or strings (including the instruments)
- Songs in the Indie Pop and Bedroom Pop genres
- Songs about/featured in mystery media, killing/death games or whodunnits
- Songs on the "Des on the Air" playlist

Your Turn To Dream

HOSTS - Nightmare Diary 

After managing to escape the theraprism, Bill went right back into looking for someone to work for him. Sooner than later, he found someone who fit the bill, an outcast with a mind that was perfect to live rent free in. Sure, maybe they weren't the most powerful or wealthy, but he can look past all of that. In the mean time, why not try to find more henchmaniacs? And even better, why not make them fight to the death for your respect just like in the old times? So until Bill finds a way to get his physical form once more, he's going to spend his time gathering a new group of weirdos after the last ones didn't even bother to send him "Get well soon" cards.

Banland

[NOTE FROM RESEARCHER Red_9]
Immediately following the experiment, PROJECT: PYRAMID.SCHEME was released onto its opposition, "Stingy" and his "Bloon." It became enraged at the sight of the balloon-like entity, and was able to neutralize it after some considerable effort. Stingy escaped the scene unharmed, though he seems devastated at the loss of its "friend." His fate will be later decided.
