User Total Drama Action (Week 9: Marathon)
Ln1 had the misfortune of being the first one knocked out of the competition, Post-Merge, and his departure ended up bringing a wave of fear among everyone. He seemed so confident at the ceremony, even when everyone but him was receiving trophies, even when he ended up in the last two, and yet he was still the one eliminated. What would this mean for our other players? Will the strong survive to the end? Will the weak triumph over the rest? Will the pitifully weak *coughgutsehcough* remain pitifully weak? All of that and more rests on the challenge of Week 9.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, everyone woke up on their own accord. There were no shockingly-loud noises, no disconcerting sounds, no startlingly-powerful bangs, nothing that would force the actors into waking up. When they had all arose from their slumber, they were back in their normal, unchanged beds. Gutshe was reuinted with his trusty and dinged mattress, but the plunger and bow of LN1 was now homeless, and had it been in the possession of a mouth, it would have been requesting for someone to take care of it. As they explored their rather bland surroundings, they were confused of the lack of anything that seemed like a challenge until they noticed the arrival of the helpful intern Smasher, lacking the actual host accompanying him
"Hey, Smasher?" Cirdec asked. "Where's GD? Shouldn't he be here shouting at us or something?"
"Yeah... That was what he's supposed to do, according to his schedule." He proceeds to pull out a clipboard with several notes and dates pasted onto them. The one at the top appeared to say "SHOUT AT ACTORS. 7:00." "After the whole ceremony was over, he brought out a bottle of something strong from who knows where, so he's off sleeping in his trailer. In the meantime, I'll be the one explaining this weeks challenge."
"You?" Guthes questioned. "Has GD allowed you to do his job for him?"
"Not exactly, but who do you prefer, me or the loudmouth that always insults you? In any case, take a look outside the window-" Everyone proceeded to cram next to the 2-by-2 frame window. "-and you'll see the set-up for our next challenge, Runman! In this challenge, players will have to show off their athletic side and run a certain distance. To start off, everyone needs to shout run, step, dash, or something similar before every step. Otherwise, they won't count. At every fourth pace, there will be a hurdle that you need to jump over. Like before, you need to shout run, hop, leap, or something similar. If you do not jump over the hurdle, you are sent back two paces. The first one to reach 40 paces wins the challenge, and the person who ends up in last will not have their vote count. I hope you guys understand the rules, because it's time to pick up the pace!"
