The creature runs around the studio, trying not to get caught. She steals all of the plastic trash wrappers and paper and just- eats it. She doesn't know that she can be seen from where she's hiding.

[He halts his footsteps, having taken notice of the creature. He takes a second to observe her, screen dim, from the shadows (though he won't be there for long). ... Is she hiding on purpose? He ponders... Maybe he should be stealthy, too. Being delicate about this situation might diffuse it!]

[... He whisper-yells in an attempt to signal to Mike-]

Lights...!

[All of a sudden, a large, invasive spotlight shines upon her! So much for stealthy... Wonder how he rigged a light like that in such a room.... Tenna emerges from the shadows, hands waving in an animated fashion.]

WELL WELL WELL! It looks like our NEW CONTESTANT! has been taking advantage of our WONDERFUL BREAKROOM SNACKS - the.... er.... the garbage? [His antenna sulk for a moment.] You eat LITERAL garbage? ... No matter, darling! You're just in time for the SHOW!

... You ARE the new contestant, right?

Unless....

[His screen flashes black, contorting into only a wide smile.]

You're trespassing?

[mrphosphors]

"I'm always feeling lucky!"

She straightens up and shakes her body to shake off the nerves.

"bring it on! I can handle anything"

She crosses her arms in false confidence. Maybe if she pretends she's cool then people will actually think that way.. she must appear cool so she can make friends!

You! Are in!

For a LUCKY TREAT! I have an elaborate game for us to play!

[He fiddles with a little remote..... Out comes the Gaunlet of Terror. Swinging mace.... A spear..... More spears.... Flames.... A cannon... And a DOG?!]

[He freezes.]

... That's the wrong game. Sorry.

[Away it goes with another button press. Now it's just a staircase, leading up to a set.]

It's time.... to flip to the COOKING CHANNEL!

[A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! right away... Brutal. /j]

[mrphosphors]

OOC: THE REFRENCE HEHE

Mo0no was actually very excited for the first challenge, pumping up her fists and hyping herself up until it changed to- COOKING!? SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!? OH GREAT HEAVENS! WHAT SHALL SHE DO!

"COOKING?? but I don't even eat- oh phooey..."

She skedaddles up there anyway, nervously awaiting instructions. Good thing she doesn't have a mouth because she would look very terrified right now! She tries to pretend she knows what she's doing by taking the spatula and doing what she thinks cooking looks like. This will DEFINITELY make them believe that she's good at this.. totally.

((💙i had to with the ref hehee))

[Oh boy. He has a sneaking suspicion she might not know what she's doing... but he just can't prove it.]

[Regardless, this next part... They don't really do this on cooking shows.]

Okay! For this game.... you're going to need to DODGE FLAMES!

[So much for cooking...? He's got a giddy smile on his face after saying that. He seems genuinely excited.]

[mrphosphors]

The creature freezes in place, mid eating. She would like to scurry away under a couch or something but it's too late now. She has to play it cool. She gets herself together and says:

"well, it depends on what you call trespassing! Usually, trespassing is when a person goes somewhere they're not welcome to go! Soooo if I'm not welcome here I suppose it would be trespassing, hm? If you're gonna throw me out, I would prefer if you three me out near the dumpster, it's got all the good snacks."

She's very expressive when she talks. Moreso because of how anxious she is from being put on the spot. The creature hopes that nobody notices, but it's very much apparent. Her stance is in a running position, she was about to bolt as soon as she got the chance.

[If he had eyes, they would narrow.]

.... Touché.

[His shoulders de-tense. He opens his arms in dramatic showman-fashion.]

Well, you make an excellent point! And my dear, I wouldn't be a good host if I kicked you out!

[He can sense that she's nervous and softens just a bit. He kneels down to try to meet her eye level.]

Buuut.

Since you've already wandered into the studio uninvited — what say we make a game out of it?

You win.... All the garbage you want! Or... whatever you choose.

You lose... Well, the usual comically-large boot.

What'ya say? Feeling lucky?
