CHERRY:...hey, guys. We've gotta talk for a minute.
2D: What's up?
CHERRY: So, what exactly do we get for... winning this thing?
MIKU: Cherry, this really isn't... about the three of us winning. We're doing this because we've got nothing better to do. And... I don't like endings. You know that.
2D: We're doing it for us, and for the people.
CHERRY: ...fuck, man, alright.

With all of the Enforcers defeated, all that remains is the match ahead. Shizuku, Firestar, and the Humanz have one hell of a show planned, to cap off the group's time in the Estate. I suppose that answers the question of what they're doing to prepare for the end, but... really, this is likely our last match. There's only a few more days at most, before the White Noise consumes the Estate entirely. There's nothing else left. There's nobody to save them. So... vote for who you want to continue to our final four, for the last time.

There will be nobody left to fight in it, but... it's a nice thought, right?

IDEAS LOST Pt. 2

Hey there, KNODE boys here.

Five years ago, a ransomware attack wiped out every project file we had from our sessions together. We were fortunate enough to recover some of the WAV renders of a few of these projects, but they are in the form of sketches and early works in progress. In the years since, we've each been doing new things and exploring different sides of our creativity—solo work, collaborative projects, live sound, and things completely removed from the world of music. In the interim, these files sat untouched while we wrestled with what they represented to us: unfinished work, unrealized potential, a reflection of our vision. While spending the last five years trying to re-build a catalogue, holding onto these felt wrong. It honestly felt like we could not let go of work that was lost, as it represented a time in our lives where we were both excited for what the future of our project could look like. Releasing them didn’t feel like an option either, as we both struggle with perfectionism and the thought of people hearing half-baked music made us both nervous.

Despite this, we decided to compile an “album” of the surviving WAV renders from this time, incomplete ideas that we never thought would see the light of day. Our ideas as artists often get stuck in the space between intention and execution, never quite becoming what we imagine in our minds. This is our attempt at a making peace with imperfection by showing the work as it existed and not as what it “should have been”. This release also marks a turning point, honoring what we made back then while giving ourselves permission to move forward separately and together in new ways.

If you've ever struggled to finish something, to release something that doesn't feel "ready," or to move on from work you've outgrown - this is for you. We hope this inspires you to let go too.
 
All love,

Dan and Tim - KNODE

Character Represented: John Madden

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ While Madden may not be on mission right now, he takes the time to calmly stargaze as his match with Fancypants is fast approaching. However, his tranquil gaze into space is interrupted as his opponent approaches. ] 

MADDEN: What’s up, son. Never mind the occasional chat before the big game, but I didn’t expect one this late.

FANCYPANTS: Nothing much, I just wanted to run a question by you if you don’t mind giving into your coaching instincts for a bit.

MADDEN: I hope you aren’t trying to find any of my strategies for our upcoming match, because I am saving those for myself.

FANCYPANTS: It’s just that...I have been thinking how to spice up my hype a bit. I know Tragedy needed the extra comfort, but I need to get something really big to help kick things off.

MADDEN: Well, I’d say that you had a good idea working with some of our other contestants, but you need to get someone with a big audience behind you to help you out. Of course I was trying to help out the arcade cabinet but I didn’t look the other way of taking an extra duel is all I’ll say.

Tell you what, I saw that one of the finalists head off into the woods, maybe taking a breather after her last match to cool off from the cat. From what I heard, it was a very chaotic match so it might be some convincing but she is your best shot.

[ Fancypants doesn’t have time to think about what Madden said as he hurried off and sees if he can catch up to the Satori. Considering his agile speed, he should be able to catch up to her in no time. ]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ Soon enough, Madden continued his stargaze into the night sky as his rival trailed off into the woods. As he lets the beauty of space enter his thoughts, he can't help to think how similar he and his crafty opponent is. 

Two men beyond their prime time showing the world what they both have to offer. Both showing their personal pasts to a wider audience and getting one last thrill with a grand prize of relevancy and dedication to their history.

Though, in the end, Madden is content with how far he went. He will, of course, continue fighting and it will definitely not be an easy match, but he won't be upset with another person with the same burning passion as him to earn their spot in Final 4.

He helped give his friends, competitors, and fans the hope they needed, and if he had to lose now it would be hell of a way to go. In his eyes, he already got his prize... ]
