For the contestants' next challenge, the judges have prepared a tasty treat ... our beloved RoP characters must bake a delicious and well-constructed cake, with 3 layers! This challenge requires a grasp on the basics of baking, a keen sense of balancing sweetness with other flavour profiles, and some artistic decorative ability.
After a thrilling (and decidedly sweaty) cook, the judges examined all our contestants' cakes and have deemed three most worthy. These top-tier(ed) cakes belonged to: Elendil, Gundabale, and Halbrand!
This is Halbrand's third appearance in the Top 3. 👏
Who would be most likely to make the best 3-layer cake?
Elendil
Gundabale
Halbrand

Tuna: God. What'll it take to not be let down. Buncha useless… Letting zir get away… Learning fuckin' nothing… Maybe that note was a lil useful, if we could've gotten a name outta it…
Tuna: Even those clowns couldn't find anyone who knew about them… What a fucking waste, ruining our cover… Fucking hell…
Tuna: Man. If only we weren't working with nearly nothing about that guy.
???: Hey Tuna! Case going good?
Tuna: Oh. You. (what the fuck was his name again.)
Tuna: Honestly, no. Not unless you know anything about this :zip: guy.
🔪: No way! Of course I know Zip, we used to be buds!
Tuna: huh
🔪: We were both trying to be Hunters, went to the same- You know, those unassociated to the organization schools that say they'll give you the training you need to get in here?
🔪: We were both pretty good at it, but they dropped out and gave up on the whole thing after a lil' accident in one of the Wilderness excursions. Went kinda antisocial about it all.
🔪: A shame! They were pretty good at-
Tuna: Getting weird shit from point A to B?
🔪: Yeah! Perfect for the job.
Tuna: And if ze was, hypothetically, trying to do this now, do you know where ze might go?
🔪: Think so, probably-
Dark: HOLD IT, KNIFE GUY!
🔪: … My name is Danak?
Tuna: (ooooh that's what his name was.)
Dark: You'd really dish this out to just anyone?!
Dark: My crew's on the case too! We need that more than her!
Tuna: WHY ARE YOU HERE.
Dark: I'm an honorary Hunter! Peep the sash!
Danak: Wait. You're like, two teams fighting over the same case?
Tuna: Less fighting and more it getting in the way-
Dark: Deadly rivals! You can only help one of us!
Tuna: What. No, you could help us both.
Tuna: … Even if it'd be way better to just tell my group so these bozos don't intrude anymore than they already have…
Danak: Uuuh… W-which is the one the boss wants to do this…?
Tuna: My-
Dark: BOTH, EQUALLY! It's up to YOU to decide!
Danak: Really? And they… wouldn't get… mad, right?
Tuna: Prob-
Dark: MAD? Why ever! We're they're favourites, me especially so!
Danak: I… Don't know about this… It kind of changes things, and…
Dark: So you need CONVINCING! Oh boy! Not to worry, my crew can make quite the PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT! Right gang!?
Dark: But no presentation's complete alone. School projects don't work that way! Look, I've paired you all up nicely to do your task! Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
Your challenge is to make a convincing argument to Danak so he feels alright giving you information with your partner! Go about making it however you'd like, be it sympathy, style, or straight up threats! Whatever works, works!

Additionally, it is also a DEBUT ROUND! Two people will be let into the camp. Please check out the discord server for the chance to do so!
Contestants have until September 7th to complete the challenge.

There’s a post that just started out as meme art of Janus as a worm on a string.
But then Roman, his worm boyfriend sets him free. And now Janus, destroyer of society is freed. The crimes he will commit? None he’s too busy loving his worm boyfriend for setting him free.
Then Wormus (Worm Remus) comes in and oh no! He’s broken free from gay worm jail and on mission to kill Worm God or find his Worm Boyfriend Virgil. Worm Boyfriend gets found and they are affectionate as well!! Not too bad a thing to happen for a “war criminal worm” escapade.
Surprise it turns out Wormus committed arson and Worm Janus committed theft.
And Reporter Patworm is on the scene recording the arson happen! Loworm is immediately concerned that his worm boyfriend is near all the danger.
While this chaos happens, we pan out to previously mentioned Worm God, Thomas Sanders who is looking on in absolute confusion and concern.
Just when we think there’s no relief from this carnage, Worm Officer Remy arrives on the scene fashionably late. Officer this is not a situation to be late for!
Worm Officer Remy and Worm Janus are now in a showdown. Janus refuses to surrender to a “class traitor” and we cut to Wormile, who is wondering if his husband, Worm Officer Remy, will come home safe and sound.
There is a time skip, we are not sure what happened between Worm Officer Remy and Worm Janus, but Remy came home safe to Wormile!
In the end we find out the entire thing was a movie being reviewed by Worm Critic!
There is a sequel planned, Worm Sides Two: Virgil’s Vibe Check.
