"The audience votes are 𝐈𝐍!" Ant's smile grows with excitement. "We will be announcing them soon, but..." He points at the Delta Warriors. "Our 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖘 must answer first!"
Kris quickly selects the bullet ant answer, and so does Ralsei. Susie dilly dallies a little.
"Where's the option that says you're a loser?"
"Very funny, Susie. Have you considered going on SNL?"
Susie ignores the comment and selects the same answer as her co-stars. Ant points up.
"𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝕆𝕌ℝ 𝔸𝕌𝔻𝕀𝔼ℕℂ𝔼 𝕍𝕆𝕋𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕌𝕃𝕋𝕊 𝔸ℝ𝔼..."
"It seems our audience is in tune with our contestants!" Ant snaps his fingers and the right reply lights up.
"𝕭𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖙 𝖆𝖓𝖙!"
Ant puts his hands together, resting his head on them. "𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 everyone!! Truly, what an amazing way to start a quiz show!" He covers his mouth with his Q cards. "𝙼𝚒𝚔𝚎, 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚟𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚌𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚎."
"Audience answers are 𝓛𝓞𝓒𝓚𝓔𝓓 𝓘𝓝! My 𝖉𝖊𝖆𝖗 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖘, the floor is yours..."
Kris picks the 24 hours.
Ralsei sees that and gets a little worried. She can't seem to wrap her head around it lasting that long... it can't be, right? She picks 2 hours.
Susie laughs. "24 hours, for sure."
Ant laughs too, before pointing at the camera. "𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝕆𝕌ℝ 𝔸𝕌𝔻𝕀𝔼ℕℂ𝔼 𝕍𝕆𝕋𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕌𝕃𝕋𝕊 𝔸ℝ𝔼..."
"𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓!"
Ant's antennae bounce with curiosity as he turns his head to look at Susie. He takes a step to the side and leans forwards to be closer to her. "Susie, what had you so sure that it was the right answer?"
"I would've picked any answer as long as it was the longest period of time! No matter how long it actually lasts for real ants, you'd find a way to be a pain in the ass for as long as possible."
Ant lets out his signature low chuckle. "𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝." He stands straight. "Well, 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞!" He snaps his fingers, and the question on the screen disappears. Ant energetically spins back to his place on the stage, where he excitedly points at the screen. "ꪀꫀ᥊ꪻ ꪇꪊꫀᦓꪻ꠸ꪮꪀ!"
"Audience results are 𝕝𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕕! 𝕀𝕟!" Ant waves his hand excitedly. "Now, it's time for the answers of our 𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓼!"
Without hesitation, all three pick the second option. Ant chuckles.
"No messing around, 𝓱𝓾𝓱? Well, it is an obvious question. Especially since we just had the 𝕳𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖊𝖈𝖎𝖆𝖑." He points the Q cards at the screen. "Let's not mess around either! 𝕆𝕌ℝ 𝔸𝕌𝔻𝕀𝔼ℕℂ𝔼 𝕍𝕆𝕋𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕌𝕃𝕋𝕊 𝔸ℝ𝔼..."
The audience begins to cheer, but that dwindles into something more confused than cheerful. Ant just stands there, even more confused than the audience. He eventually moves again, putting his hand over his channel dial. "Mike, is this right? ....Yes? Are you sure? 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚗'𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝. 𝙳𝚒𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚟𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢?"
Ant keeps questioning Mike some more, while the fun gang chat a little.
"It's weird that Spamton got so many votes. I mean, your mom, sure, she's amazing, but Spamton?"
Kris looks at Susie.
"Not that Spamton wasn't great but like... you get what I mean!"
They nod.
"Maybe they just misclicked...!" Ralsei does her best to come up with a way to excuse the votes.
"Several thousand people misclicked???"
Kris mumbles something inaudible to the mic. Susie thinks.
"Yeah, Tim's probably kinda upset about that one."
Ant finally turns back to face the audience, getting everyone's attention, even that of the three contestants. "𝚆𝚎𝚕𝚕… 𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚗." He lets out a nervous laugh. "𝚆𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚘 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚞𝚍𝚎 𝚂𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗'𝚜 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚏𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚣𝚣𝚎𝚜." He's doing a beautiful job at not blowing up, though annoyance is very clearly painted all over his face. "Since it's a draw, we will skew the vote in favor of the audience. Which means... 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝓒𝓞𝓡𝓡𝓔𝓒𝓣!! Our PR team manager is indeed 𝐓𝐢𝐦!"
The audience goes wild with cheer as the question disappears.
"Let's not wait any longer and move onto the 𝖓𝖊𝖝𝖙 𝖖𝖚𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓!"
Welcome to the show featuring your favorite 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐍, 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 and 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐑,
The audience cheer thunders as the curtain opens. From the middle to the right, stand podiums with Kris, Susie, and Ralsei behind them. Ant stands next to Ralsei, but quickly moves further left by twirling multiple times before stopping with an excited pose. Pointing up with one hand, with the other one, holding Q cards, pointing at the contestants. His lower hands are extended to his sides, palms facing up.
"Please, another round of applause for me and our 𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖗 𝕮𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖘!"
The audience cheers again as the Fun Gang strike cool and cute poses.
"Today, we will be quizzing our favorite warriors." Ant puts the cue cards against his chest, and his three other hands behind his back.
"You already know the deal. Correctly answer as many questions as possible! Get all the answers right, get the 🆄🅻🆃🅸🅼🅰🆃🅴 🅿🆁🅸🆉🅴!" Ant's smile widens. "𝙶𝚎𝚝 𝚊 𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐..."
Ant lifts his free upper hand, and we see it holding a small device. Ant dramatically poses, back facing the audience, as he points the remote at the warriors.
The warriors all suddenly tense up with pain as they get electrocuted. Ant puts the remote back behind his back as he laughs, turning back around to face the cameras.
"Three mistakes allowed. After the third one, 𝓨𝓞𝓤'𝓡𝓔 𝓞𝓤𝓣!"
Susie gets over the pain first, showing a confident smirk. "Do your worst, Ant."
"Oh, I will." Ant looks up. "Today's quiz is special, however!" He turns his head to the audience, and points at the camera. "Our 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 gets to participate! Send in your answers through the form on our website, and once we close submissions, it will be our warriors' turn to answer."
"Are you ready, folks? Because...
The stage screen lights up with a question. Ant looks at his Q card.
Susie turns her head to look at him "Hey, nerd, what's up with the bullied kid act?"
Ant grabs the sides of his face with both top hands, dropping the Q cards. "𝙱𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚍 𝙺𝚒𝚍? 𝙱𝚄𝙻𝙻𝙸𝙴𝙳 𝙺𝙸𝙳???
𝙱𝚄𝙻𝙻𝙸𝙴𝙳 𝙺𝙸𝙳?????????"
His screen shuts off, which only highlights how impressive it is that it hasn't done so until now. The silence is long and deafening. His grip on his screen tightens as he starts laughing.
"𝙼𝙸𝙺𝙴, 𝙵𝙸𝙽𝙳 𝙼𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝚅𝙸𝙴𝚆𝙴𝚁'𝚂 𝙰𝙳𝙳𝚁𝙴𝚂𝚂."
The spotlight on Ant turns off in disapproval.
Ant goes quiet and starts shaking again. "...𝙼𝙸𝙺𝙴!?" He shrinks slightly. "𝙱-𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚊𝚝…???"
Susie looks at Kris. "Kris get the cardboard box ready."
Oh MAN, what an answer for that quiz question. Ant Tenna, huh? THE Mr Ant Tenna, host with the most! Love that guy!
Quite the answer, though... didn't know he was in the room with y'all??? We only know and see a Mister Ant alongside the contestants. I don't see this Ant Tenna...
A shame such a handsome face is no longer here in the room with us... Hope he knows that many of us enjoy his company...
"𝙷𝙰𝙷. 𝙷𝙰𝙷𝙰𝙷𝙰𝙷𝙰𝙷𝙴𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙷𝙴𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙷𝙴𝙷𝙴𝙰." Ant stands deathly still, holding his cue cards against his chest. His simulated breathing is off, giving the illusion of a statue, broken by spasms. "𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙺 𝚈𝙾𝚄'𝚁𝙴 𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙽𝚈. 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙺 𝚈𝙾𝚄'𝚁𝙴 𝚂𝙻𝙸𝙲𝙺. 𝙱𝚄𝚃 𝚈𝙾𝚄████████████████████████████████████████████████████████"
The camera struggles to stay on. The image distorts, fighting for its life amongst the lag, and briefly, it seems like... There's a ██████ in the room with us.
"Our audience results are locked in, time for your input, 𝖘𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖘!"
"This question's gotta be some kind of..." Susie stops dead in her tracks as a thought hits her mind. She smirks and votes.
Kris votes.
Ralsei... hesitantly votes.
Ant grins. "Without further ado, 𝕆𝕌ℝ 𝔸𝕌𝔻𝕀𝔼ℕℂ𝔼 𝕍𝕆𝕋𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕌𝕃𝕋𝕊 𝔸ℝ𝔼...""
Ant looks at the screen with the answers, and seeing the results knocks the wind out of his sails. He's forced to look away, holding his head, then looking back at the answers.
That's him.
That's his name.
His full name.
Then why
"Mhah..." He starts shaking and hunches over slightly. "𝚊𝚑…𝚊𝚑𝚊𝚑𝚎𝚑𝚊𝚑.."
Then suddenly,
"𝓦𝓔𝓛𝓛 𝓕𝓞𝓛𝓚𝓢!" He claps his hands with joy. His smile is big, and his expression bright. "What a question, huh!?" It seems he tries to come up with something to continue, but he blanks. He stands there for a solid minute before starting to laugh as lightheartedly as he can. It's not working.
"I'm just having so much 𝙵𝚄𝙽!" His voice gains an unintentional raspiness and all his claws come out, growing longer than usual. "𝙽𝙴𝚇𝚃 𝚀𝚄𝙴𝚂𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽."
