#the shadow entity

*shadows clap at the performed intro. The viewers join the clapping as if greeting the hosts*

*The rest of the performance continues throughout the night, with Tenna's cohost telling Mike to roll the clips as the Thanksgiving specials, movies and shorts Tenna prepared start playing again. Spamton dragging Tenna off stage and to the nosebleeds until they're next needed on stage*

*It's nice, doing it all again. This time with an audience and someone to share the stage. Tenna's able to joke and laugh during the two's bumper segments as though Spamton never left. As though nothing ever changed.*

*Yet during the quiet moments as the clips are playing, it's hard to ignore all that has changed...*

*The rest of the night feels like a blur. Tenna doesn't remember what happened after the clipshow ended. He feels like he and Spamton might've gone out. Or raided Rambsy's bar. Whatever they did, Tenna wakes up with a splitting headache the next morning*

*Hungover and disoriented, Tenna looks around the room. They're in their castle room. Somehow she must've found her way back. Tenna looks at the other side of the bed as he sits on the edge...*

((Couldn't quite decide if Spam stayed or not so I thought it might be fun for you all to decide!

In any case I have no intention of letting you go just yet. Let's wait and see who's gonna find you first... Who knows, maybe rook returns. Or maybe those creatures will find a way to escape him and find you instead.

hhHHGUUH *>JHHGGH...

*Spamton looks irritated as he taps his foot. Tenna looks worried as they glance at the door*

[the entity smiles and squints at tenna playfully from their own shadow]

/ooc: silly

*Tenna points dramatically at the shadow entity. The puppet salesman has to quickly shift to clinging onto her other arm to not completely fall to the floor*

hell no, you don't...

*the entity slithers our of it's new and spreading domain of shadows in the castle and wraps its arm around Spamton like it's a large snake. It drags Spamton back into the now dark arcade room and closes the door behind itself*

Nobody can steal my new playthings without discussing it with me...

*it looks dissatisfied*

*As Spamton is stumbling to come up with an explanation to give all the people staring at him, a beam is blast through the door to the castle. As everyone's attention is diverted, Spamton is quickly whisked away*

[[SPAMMY!!]]

*Tenna just barely catches Spamton being dragged off, and tries to chase after the shadowy tentacle before Rook grabs them by the elbow*

BUGS! WHAT IN DA HELL DO YOU TINK YERE DOIN!?

*Tenna yanks their arm away*

[[I JUST GOT HIM BACK, ROOK!]]

[[AND EVEN IF I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE LEFT OR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, I'M NOT ABOUT TO LOSE HIM AGAIN!!]]

*Tenna chases the shadowy tentacle into the arcade room. Rook is left to just... watch them go.*

Damn. Maybe I should do this too. So I did.

Does this thing work? I can't make new posts :(

Guess Titans are coming.

*the shadow entity looks around to find a way to maybe evacuate the citizens. It decides to to to the arcade games room and claim it for itself, coating it all in shadows until nothing is seen except for arcade machines' screens and glowing buttons.*

... If you don't see anything, the space becomes larger... Heh.

*Most of the people in the Castle are panicking, especially after the emergence of the malware titans and the beam that just barely grazed one of the towers*

*Tenna, Spamton, and Rook are all dealing with this in their own ways*

O-OKAY. OK! DIS... DIS IS FINE. EVERTINGS GONNA BE FINE! EVERYTINGS UNDA CONTROL...

[[ROOK THIS SEEMS FAR FROM FINE.]]

[[WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE THINGS?]]

*His glasses are static* T H3 [[TITANS SHAPE FROM DARKENED EYES]]...

Nothing serious, really... First round, find fine objects I've hidden in your studio. There also might be some in asks you receive...

List of items:

1 TV slop (with some pepper in it, find the right one)

1 point stick

1 acoustic guitar

1 snowflake

1 shadow crystal

Find them. Then you'll win the first round.

*Tenna still seems suspicious, but still plays along*

[[WELL, TV SLOP SHOULDN'T BE ALL THAT DIFFICULT TO LOCATE.]]
