The new generation of Jetsetters, ten pairs of twins in total, was already confronted with a Challenge before even setting foot on the Jetsetter. They first had to search around in Martoele, the Netherlands for information to find their final checkpoint.

Benjamin: "We gotta go in town and find cellphones and tickets."
Oliver: "- and we have to find some merchandise and arrive asap, I could hear all that."
Benjamin: ".. Great, just wanted to check. You got the map?"





Meredith: "Look at what I found here."
Melinda: "... Great job, Mer!"
Meredith: "... Now stop calling me Mer, hm?!"




Lucas: "Nothing here."
Ethan: "You sure?"
Lucas: "Unless it's behind a tree, I'm positive."




The first 5 twin pairs to finish got a chance to earn a Clue towards the Assassin's identity.

Odessa: "Jayda and Kiki..."
Jayda: "Yes, that's how our parents named us when we were born."
Kiki: "Psssht. 
Odessa: "Haha, but anyway ladies... You've finished this Challenge in second place. Congrats!"




Odessa: "Frankie and Jerry were the first complete twins here. Belcastro Bros, please follow me."
Frankie: "Ehhh nope, don't call us that."




Odessa: "On this table I'll place a 10 by 10 grid. On it you'll have to place 10 boats horizontally or vertically, 2 per twin duo. Boats cannot be adjacent to eachother in any direction. After that the Attackers will come in and shoot at the grid in 8 rounds, hoping to sink them by hitting all their parts. Every twin pair of you whose boats both survive the bombing will get to redeem their Clue."




While the last 5 twin pairs got the chance to take the Clues to the Assassin's identity.

Odessa: "Before shooting at them, you'll get a Dutch translation riddle each round. If you can guess the correct translation for each word, you'll be able to pick one row or column and get full intel on how many boat pieces are in that row or column. Which can make shooting them much easier. 
And now the money stakes: every correctly guessed word earns §12.500 for the Jetsetters, while every ship completely shot down will drag §5.000 of your winnings to the Assassin. Capiche?"




Euphelia: "Dang. I don't speak no Dutch... Eugene!"
Eugene: "Yeah, sis?"
Euphelia: "Jij spreekt Nederlands, guess what? Your turn to shine."
Eugene: "But that was from GCSE?! I don't remember anything. I told you my Dutch teacher was a muppet and I never attended his class!"
Euphelia: "Don't let us down, Eugene, we'll countin' on you." 




Meredith: "Seriously, it's terrain! A 4-year-old can guess that!"
Odessa: "You want to lock in terrain?"
Meredith: "No shit, Sherlock."
Odessa: "It's correct! You can now pick one row or column to reveal."




It all resulted in a good day for the Assassin.

Benjamin: "Ollie, wasn't A9 our last square."
Oliver: "Alas, you're right."
Benjamin: "Bye-bye Clue."




Odessa: "Well well well... Looks like 3 more ships were sent to rot on the sea bottom. The second ship of Diana and Apollo on C3-5, the second ship of Benjamin and Oliver on I2-4, and on A-B7 the first ship of Frankie and Jerry. Meaning that another §15.000 won't make it to the Jetsetter's winnings, and that Frankie and Jerry won't earn a Clue."




Odessa: "Final numbers: §2.500 Jetsetters, §97.500 Assassin. Looks like they've done some good business today."
Lenka: "Yip yip!"
Odessa: "Odessa: "To the defenders: 7 ships were shot down and all of you used to own one of the wrecks. Which means, no Clue for any of you. In that aspect the Assassin also has done well."




After the new musical twist was explained and demonstrated, it was time for our Jetsetters to finally settle in.
Odessa: "That symbol means you've been selected for a MUSICAL SONG! and you get to sing along in order to not get a strike! Awesome isn't it? Bwahaha."




Min Hee: "Dong ma zeh hong za dao song yi ding way bao
Anything goes!"




Once on board, it didn't take long for the fresh Jetsetters to build new friendships...

Hannes: "I consider it a heartfelt conversation about life's dreams and aspirations."
Freya: "Yeah, you could put it that way as well."
Jayda: "You know what I'm currently aspiring for? A new haircut."
Kiki: "Too bad Mama Rox isn't playing this year."





Lucas: "But anyway, what do you think of the game so far played?"
Melinda: "It was kinda unbalanced between attackers and defenders. Luckily we got on the attacker side, so we could do something."
Lucas: "Turns out getting dead last place worked out in the end."
Euphelia: "But would the Assassin try to be one of the defenders?"




... make new rivalries...

Meredith: "Who the hell are you calling Mortal you wretched hag, why I ought to turn you into a stupid zombie and keep you as my pet!"
Diana: "The youth these days..."
Meredith: "And you boy with the stupid face, why does your eye keep twitching at everyone like that?! You may need to go get that sorted out because it's making me feel SICK!!! Disgusting beasts. Stay out of my way the both of you or I'll make you regret it, GOT IT?!"
Apollo: "Hey I am just trying to make everyone feel comfy here. Besides, you look like you could use something or someone to cheer you up."




Frankie: "Were ya talking 'bout me, skinnyjeans?"
Oliver: "... Jetset. Duh."
Frankie: "Whatever... Well well, if it ain't my little brother."
Jerry: ".. Sup."
Frankie: "Gossiping 'bout me behind my back I see?"




... and just... generally goof around.

Wendell: "DID SOMEBODY SAY WENDELL FERRIS?!"
Lucas, Melinda and Euphelia: "....."
Wendell: "What? Always wanted to say that, can't I?"




Iris: "You should break from drinking though."
Ethan: "I'm fine with this one drink."
Benjamin: "Enjoy the moment..."

*Pearl holds her glass upside down as she talks to Iris*

Pearl: "Maaaybe your right. We should enjoy-*hiccup* joy the show shouldn't we?"




20 Jetsetters just settled in on the Jetsetter. Before two of them will leave the cruise for good, they'll have one more opportunity to try and read their fellow Jetsetters. But just how much will this next Challenge influence the stakes of who stays and who leaves? And whose will go through the worst nightmare of Jetset and be the first ones to leave?

Odessa: "Yup. Looks perfect."




Odessa: "Time to lure them peoples in and meet my little friend here..."




Odessa: ".. This button I believe?"

*The megaphone beeps, confirming that Odessa pressed the right button*

Odessa: "Great!"




Odessa: "WAKEY-WAKEY!!! GET UP, MOVE, TIME FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE!!!!"




Odessa: "DON'T KEEP ME WAITING! RISE AND SHINE FOLKS!"
Oliver: "Jesus, girl! It's like, 7 in the morning?!"
Frankie: "EY, CAN YA PLEASE NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN?!?!"
Melinda: "My ears...."




Odessa: "GET YER BLOODY ASSES UP ALREADY! CHOP-CHOP!"
Wendi: "The nerve of this brat..."
Kiki: "Bloody ears more like!"

Odessa: "Thank you all for being so cooperative asap."
Jerry: "TURN THAT THING OFF MAYBE?! WE'RE ALL HERE AND WE'RE NOT DEAF!"
Ethan: "Aren't we? My ears are still zooming..."




Freya: "Ugh, I look like trash..."
Apollo: "Hm? Oh, you shouldn't be so harsh on yourself. I think you look pretty."
Freya: "No I'm a mess. I didn't even brush my hair..."
Odessa: "Wait a sec..."




Odessa: "TWO ARE MISSING! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!"
Jayda: "MY EARDRUMS!"



*

Iris: "SORRY! THIS ONE HERE GOT A SLIGHT HANGOVER!"
Pearl: "Bwaaaaaaaaaa....."
Iris: "Pfffft, by the Watcher how heavy.."




Odessa: "Yay! Me ish happy!"
Iris: "... Great."
Benjamin: "At last, she stopped using that thing."




Odessa: "Now if all of you go and gather yourselves on the same side as your bedroom is."




Pearl: "Aaaaaah, really??? My head hurts sooooooooo much, feel like craaaap."
Iris: "I did warn you."
Pearl: "..... No clue..."
Iris: "We should listen to the Challenge."
Pearl: "Bu- but I'm soooo..."




Odessa: "Thank yoooouuu. Great."
Diana: "Isn't Min Hee supposed to be here as well?"
Odessa: "... In this Challenge your goal is to find your so called 'Match' among the people on the other group."




Odessa: "Your match attempts will be put in this handy-dandy Truth Booth here behind me. Lovely, isn't it?"
Meredith: "It sucks worse than you suck your mother's cock."
Odessa: "Your biology knowledge sucks!"





Odessa: "-- And if we all would put away our cellphones please, we can go on."
Kiki: "Sorry."
Odessa: "PS: you're holding it upside down."

*Euphelia, Kiki and Jerry put away theur cellphones*




Odessa: "Thaaaaank you for your cooperation. For being such good listeners I'll give group 1 the first pick."
Group 1 peeps: "Yaaay!"




Min Hee: "A-he-hem."




Odessa: "Oh..."
Min Hee: "Aren't you forgetting someone?"
Odessa: "... Good morning mother."




Min Hee: "Mother? You hate that word."
Odessa: "... Shit, we're live right?"
Min Hee: "Yup.




Odessa: "I can haz tape plies?"
Min Hee: "It's been broadcast already. "
Odessa: "Oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck..."
Min Hee: "..."




Min Hee: "And on your megaphone behaviour: do that one more time and I'm afraid I have to take it for a week."
Odessa: "NO!"
Min Hee: "You should know how to use it responsibly."
Odessa: "I'm sorry I'm sorry, please don't take it pleaaaase..."




Odessa: "And- HEY, who gave you permission to walk around again?!"



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
One minute of scolding and relocationing later
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Min Hee: "Soo... I hope you've had a good night's sleep, Jetsetters.. Ahem.. Though Odessa would like to apologise for her methods of 'gathering' you all."
Odessa: "I enjoyed every moment of it."

*Min Hee coughs*

Odessa: "..... Like I just said, welcome to your next Challenge. For this Challenge you'll be devided in 2 groups, based on your Room picks. Group 1 will consist of all Rooms on the Port side of the ship, and Group 2 will consist of all the rooms on the Starboard side of the ships."




Min Hee: ".......... The previous Challenge you've been working together with your twin sibling. From this Challenge onward however we'll juggle it up a little... Every person on one group has been matched with a person from the other group. And it's up to you to find out who is matched with whom.
Odessa: "Every round the Jetsetters on one of the groups will be able to pick the person they think could be their match. First come first serve. After that one of the wannabe matches can volunteer to be sent to the Truth Booth."

*Odessa points to the Truth Booth*




Min Hee: "The two Jetsetters who get sent to the Truth Booth will get confirmed whether they are one of the 10 matches or not. After that it's also revealed how many of the 10 overall matches you made are correct. Then it's rinse and repeat and the other group gets to pick people."
Odessa: "This Challenge will go on for 10 rounds, unless you figure out all correct 10 matches in an earlier round; then the Challenge will stop at once. Every overall correct match in the round the Challenge ends is worth §10.000, for a total maximum of §100.000."




Min Hee: "You can also earn a Clue. If you manage to find 1, 2, 7 or 8 matches by the end of the Challenge, you'll earn a Clue. BUT... only the minority group will actually receive the Clue: the 1 or 2 who get matched for 1 and 2 matches, and the 2 or 3 who don't find their match for 7 and 8 matches."
Odessa: "And... If you manage to get exactly 9 matches together by round 10, each and every Jetsetter will receive Immunity UP TO THE FINALE!"




Min Hee: "To add a few extra rules: Once a match has been confirmed as correct, they're out of the game and can't participate in the discussions anymore."
Odessa: "Group 1 will begin picking matches."
Min Hee and Odessa: "Good luck and lots of wisdom."




Hannes: "Kiki, shall we go?"
Freya: "How about us, Eugene?"
Kiki: "Sounds legit to me."
Eugene: "Why not?"




Diana: Actually with a bit of thinking and study I have figured it out, if there is something you don't understand I find study helps quite a lot. Also consulting with my brother also helped me out a bit."
Apollo: "Yep it is pretty cut and dry peeps."
Diana: "Yes as he says, very clear to be seen."
Apollo: "What, I didn't say it like that."




 Diana: "Ugh Apollo do I need to use my card of what we use to call you when we were children."

*Apollo Gulps and Shuts Up With a Snap*

Diana: "I thought not."
Diana: "Well anyway I believe it is not based on attraction or even traits, or should I say we believe."

*Apollo Nods With a Thumbs Up*




Diana: "It is so easy a monkey could do it. Basically it is matched in an alphabetical order with one twist, or should I say an anomaly, or difference, make a list of those in group one by A-Z and then do the same with those in group two putting those names next to the other ones in a A-Z as well, for example Apollo-Eugene. A is the first letter in group one and E is the first letter in group two, but there is a twist or the people here wouldn't make it that easy, there are two names that need to be switched an anomaly or difference, I think or we think."

*Apollo is Grinning from Ear to Ear*




Diana: "That Pearl and Jayda's names need to be switched. And it could possibly be relationships which are considered neutral, since it is not based on attraction at all, as is stated by the hosts, plus I got a little bit of a tip off from Lenka leading me to a few choice books. I think Lenka knows I love reading how very considerate for a Fox.."
Apollo: "Can I start talking now?"
Diana: "Yes dear brother if you MUST!!!"




Apollo: "Well from my point of view, I really don't think anyone here would want to see me, taking my sweet time with a lady in the truth booth, it might get heated in there, it is possible it could be based on relationships that could remain, "just friends" or just end up hating each other. So I came up with that the twist a abc was my sisters idea with a few tweaks from me and ca-bam we got a plan oh yeah BABY!!!"

*Diana Rolls Her Eyes*

Diana: "Okay enough talking from us it is up to you."




Benjamin: "...... I guess I just pick Pearl."
Oliver: ".. Jerry, the two of us I guess?"
Pearl: "...Yeees, no Pasta boy for us...."
Iris: "Oh, Watcher. Don't even mention that. I still feel ill thinking about it."



Melinda: "Won't someone pick me?"
Meredith: "No one is going to choose you because you're ugly and annoying."
Melinda: ".... Again, we share the same face."
Meredith: "..... Shut up bitch!"




Wendi: "Brother, this is important, don’t fool around and be idiotic. I say I pair with Meredith because of course, but you cannot say Melinda, that’s out of the question."
Wendell: "Okay...uh, let me think like you, sister...then I will say Euphelia, yep, lock it in."
Meredith: "AT LAST! You're not the favourite now, Melinda."




Apollo: "Um well it didn't turn out like we planed but this might work. I choose Frankie!!!"
Diana: "You're right for once."

*Apollo sticks out his tongue*




Diana: "Don't do that ever!!! Okay I choose Melinda she seems like a sweet girl, with a good head on her shoulders."




Apollo: "Yeah Just look at those shoulders."

*Diana slaps him again*




Apollo: "What? I didn't come here to be abused by my sister; I was born first after all there should be a no slapping rule, cuz hey it hurts.

Apollo: "No wonder no one wants to marry you, do you even want to break your curse of not being able to have children, I can't even figure out how to break my own curse of never being able to get married, so fine tell everyone my kid nickname."



*Diana starts crying a little bit. She then silently sits down, hugging her own shoulders*



Everyone: "......."




Apollo: "....... I am sorry.. I didn't mean to take it that far, how about when this Challenge is over we have our family council regroup and I can make your favorite treat?"

*Diana looks up*

Diana: "... Okay, will you really make crepes?"




Apollo: "Of course, I know it's your favorite, and I know you haven't been eating well lately. 

*Diana grins while Apollo picks her up off the ground*




Diana: "Okay lil Polly."
Apollo: "AAAAAck!"






Diana: "Oh.."
Everyone else: "..."




Apollo: "She promised... she promised..."




Odessa: "I should poke him with a stick."
Wendell: "... Shouldn't we help him?"
Wendi: "He's not our concern."




Apollo: "I cannot wait to see if my pick was even right, I mean Diana and I did work pretty hard on this, and she seemed very confident about the choices, I have never doubted her before. Although she could have kept my girly nick name a secret, maybe sister I just will have to reveal yours as well since we are no longer being what you would call "Civil"."
Diana: "You wouldn't. Besides, the sister no matter what is always right, even when we are wrong. I like to use my strategies as motivators, you just want to rub others noses into them, without thought of the other person. And of course you did not need to faint like that I already knew with the muttering that you were not really that emotionally scarred to warrant a phony pass out."
Apollo: "Well some sort of sister you are I know you can't have children, but think of it from my point of view, having several demigod children, and never being able to marry the women who gave birth to them. You do know what happens right!!!"
Diana: "I know they are directly sent to the underworld, and are forgotten about, like they never existed at all, you would rather remember them, than have that memory taken from you. I am sorry I was rather callous and unkind."

*Diana facepalms*

Diana: "Well anyway, I hope who I picked will be the right choice to, lets just make an agreement to not try to tear each other apart, I am trying to be nicer to the people here. I am sorry will you forgive me."
Apollo: "Of course I always will, the lucky thing about having me as a brother is I can' hold a grudge, it takes away the fun factor in life. Will you forgive your idiotic brother who just wants you to find happiness and have fun, even on this show."
Diana: "Yes I will."

*Diana and Apollo hug*

Diana: "So I just hope that the ladies don't think you are weak from fainting though I wouldn't want it to ruin your prospects of romance."
Apollo: "Hey if anyone can bounce back its me lets just hope what we chose was right on the dot."
Diana: "Your right, in your own words, LETS DO THIS THING!!!"
Apollo: "ALRIGHT!!!"






Ethan: "Haha, Freya, your wings tickle my face."
Freya: "Woohps!"
Ethan: "Well.. looks like we're last again, Lucas."
Lucas: "Yup..."

*Lucas grabs Jayda, leaving Ethan with Iris*




Jayda: "Thank you for picking Jayda Airlines. Now could you please..."




Jayda: "... PUT ME DOWN ALREADY?"
Lucas: "... Why did I even pick you up like that?"
Jayda: "You should ask yourself."
Lucas: "....."




Odessa: "Ahem!... To get back to the Challenge again, we got the following matches."

Apollo picks Frankie
Benjamin picks Pearl
Diana picks Melinda
Ethan picks Iris
Freya picks Eugene
Hannes picks Kiki
Lucas picks Jayda
Oliver picks Jerry
Wendell picks Euphelia
Wendi picks Meredith
Min Hee: "You must now pick one match to go enter the Truth Booth and see if they're a correct match."




Jerry: "Do we discuss publicly? And vote publicly?"
Min Hee: "Public discussion is encouraged. As is finding your own method on who to send. The latter process will be interesting to see."
Frankie: "Wasn't tha obvious already, ya dumbass?"
Jerry: "There's no such thing as a dumb question."




Wendi: "I feel that the two of us could be a match."
Meredith: ".. Yeah. Pick me over her for once. Thank you."
Jerry: "I'd go with Hannes and Kiki... Though yeah, Wendi and Meredith could be a good start."
Oliver: "I vote for Wendi and Meredith."




Iris: "I second."
Freya: "I third!"
Hannes: "I fourth."
Diana: ".. Okay, I'll join the bandwagon as well."
Wendell: "I six-- did you have to ruin the joke?"
Diana: "Yes. I had to. Hahaha."
Wendell: "..."




Odessa: "It seems like we have a choice."
Min Hee: "Meredith and Wendi, please enter the Truth Booth."
Meredith: ".. It's an arch you moron."
Odessa: "Just get in the booth already."




Meredith: "Hmmph."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Wendi Ferris and Meredith Rathmore a correct match?"
Odessa: "..."
Meredith: "..."
Wendi: "..."

Odessa: "Alas! No Match. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway..."
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, 0 are correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."
Odessa: "Everyone get back to their own side, please."




Melinda: "Oliver, how about us?"
Oliver: "Hmm.. sounds fine, at least we know that all pairings from the previous round were wrong."
Melinda: "Means that you're not with Jerry and I'm not with Diana."
Meredith: "... Fuck it, let's pick the old rake instead."
Hannes: "Excuse me?"
Meredith: "Yes, you."




Jerry: "Maybe we should try and get more 0's first to try and eliminate some pairs."
Frankie: "Ya, and then let 'em bucks slide away, huh? Nah, ya'rr just bein'a dumbass again, Sherlock."
Jerry: "Man, if we just-"
Frankie: "Nope. Wendi, how about it, ya think we could be matches? We both have incompetent baby brothers."




Wendell: "Hey!"
Wendi: "Close enough. It might work."
Jerry: "... Wendell, wassit? Maybe they'd instead pair off the poor victims of abusive twins..."
Wendell: "Sounds legit."




Jayda: "Hey Frey, we're getting along, shall we?"
Freya: "Sure, why not?"
Kiki: "If it's not Hannes, then who might it be?... Apollo?"
Apollo: "Did someone say my name?"




Iris: "Ethan, I guess?"
Pearl: "I'll pick Lucas then."
Eugene: ".. I think Diana fits the most with me."
Euphelia: ".. That leaves.. Lucas for me?.."







Euphelia: "No, wait, that leaves Benjamin for me. My mistake."
Benjamin: "So that how it feels to be picked last during gym class..."
Euphelia: "Tell me about it... Hey wait, what if you'd be a match with Jerry... You'd be Ben and Jerry's."
Benjamin: "Hahaha."




Min Hee: "Looks like we're ready to send another match to the Truth Booth."
Odessa: "Shame I didn't ge to poke Polly with a stick though."
Apollo: "HEY!"
Odessa: "Meh."



Frankie: "I'm confident we're right here."




Euphelia: "... You got a point. I support."
Iris: "Better her than us."
Pearl: "Yup."
Lucas: "Indeed. Do them."
Benjamin: "I might as well."
Oliver: "Yup. Let's do Frankie and Wendi."




Min Hee: "Wendi and Frankie, please enter the Truth Booth."



Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Wendi Ferris and Frankie Belcastro a correct match?"
Odessa: "..."
Frankie: "..."
Wendi: "..."

Odessa: "Alas! No Match. Let's see if you improved and got another match right this time?"
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, 2 are correct. It's now Group 1's turn to choose."




Eugene: "2 correct. Any idea which pairs?"
Euphelia: "You know what? Maybe Benjamin and Jerry are meant to be together."
Benjamin: "Well, I do like the idea of a Ben and Jerry, so... Jerry it is. I can see Odessa pushing that as well too."




Wendi: "Wendell, you pick Melinda and hmm... I'll pick Euphelia then."
Oliver: "Oh, wait!"
Wendell: "Okay. I pick Melinda. What were you saying, Oliver?"
Oliver: ".. Oh... I also wanted to try myself with Melinda again.."




Wendi: "Too late for you."
Oliver: "... Guess I'll pick Iris then?"
Iris: "Sounds viable."
Pearl: "... Is that a knot in my eyelash?"




*Freya chooses Eugene and Hannes chooses Pearl*

Eugene: ".. Freya, we are not a pair. None of the round 1 pairs was."
Freya: ".. Oh.. that's right.. My mistake."




Apollo: "Guess I'll pick Frankie again?"
Diana: "Jayda, think that we're a match?"
Benjamin: "Apollo, you and Frankie were also a non-match in round 1."

*Diana rolls her eyes*

Apollo: "Oh.. sorry."




Benjamin: "If I had to guess which pairs of last rounds are correct, then maybe two of Iris & Ethan, Kiki & Apollo and Pearl & Lucas?"
Ethan: "Oh, I can pick Iris!"
Iris: ".. Oliver chose me already though."
Lucas: "... I'll pick Meredith then."




Meredith: "Oh dear, now I got loserboy instead."
Lucas: "... It's just for one round, Lucas..."
Kiki: "Leaves me for Ethan then."
Ethan: "Yeah... but then again they always say that the last is not the least, hahaha."
Min Hee: "Time to find your match in the crowd, people."




Benjamin: "Okay, who wants to put the test to Euphelia's Ben & Jerry's theory?"

*Oliver, Jerry, Frankie, Euphelia, Eugene, Apollo, Diana, Iris and Pearl raise their hands*

Benjamin: "Hosties, we got you a match to test!"
Odessa: "Perfect!"




Min Hee: "Ben and Jerry, please enter the Truth Booth."
Odessa: "Ben and Jerry, sounds deee-licious..."
Benjamin and Jerry: "......"
Odessa: "... What? I'm just talking about the Ice Cream, hahaha."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Benjamin Grie-"
Odessa: "Shaddup, we know the phrasy-daisy by now."
Min Hee: "Odessa, that was rude."

Benjamin: "Darn it!"
Odessa: "SSSSHT!!- No Match again. How about the others then?"
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, 1 is correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."
Eugene: "Dang, Ben and Jerry isn't a match."




Meredith: "Don't you dare look at me, how the fucking hell am I supposed to know how them host skanks paired us up."
Min Hee: "Hey, don't talk about Odessa like that!"
Odessa: "Yeah, don't talk about me like that!"
Min Hee: "... Yeah..."




Oliver: "Maybe they're trolling us and paired the least compatible people up?"
Iris: "PLEASE don't let that be the case... I am NOT going ANYWHERE NEAR Pasta Boy!"

*Iris whimpers. Pearl hugs Iris*

Pearl: "Shh, shh, it'll be kay. Even if that's true, it's just for this challenge."




Frankie: "... Thank you?"
Jerry: "Maybe it has to do with our applications? Remember that we used to answer those either/or questions?"
Melinda: "Yeah that's one of the things I was thinking."
Jerry: "Let's start picking. Wendell?"




Frankie picks Diana
Iris picks Ethan
Pearl picks Freya
Euphelia picks Lucas
Eugene picks Oliver
Melinda picks Benjamin
Meredith picks Hannes
Kiki picks Wendi
Jayda picks Apollo




Freya: "I think the two of us might be a match."
Pearl: "Yeah. Me too."
Oliver: "I'm not sure about the pairings here either. But Pearl and Freya seem to be good."
Eugene: "We got no match so far."




Wendell: "I think Pearl and Freya could be a potential match, and if-"
Wendi: "Wendell, let me do the brain work!"
Wendell: "Oi!"
Wendi: "Hmmm..."




Wendi: "I think Pearl and Freya could be a potential match, and if we want to try them, I think that’s our best bet without any confirmed matches."
Wendell: "That's what I was going to say!"
Wendi: "Shush it you."




Oliver: "Wait, Eugene. Am I correct that you're a lifeguard?"
Eugene: "That's correct."
Oliver: "Then next round I really want to try you and Benjie. He's a lifeguard too so it's worth a shot, right?"Eugene: "Yeah, we should! Though for now.. Pearl and Freya?"



Kiki: "Young ladies, me thinks you need to go to the Truth Booth."
Freya: "Woohoo!"
Min Hee: "Pearl and Freya, please enter the Truth Booth."

*Pearl's phone starts to ring*




Pearl: "Oh, that's mine! ... I don't know the number though."
Min Hee: "Let me see.. Oh, it's Diane White."
Freya: "Really?"
Odessa: "Oh Truth Booth of yabba dabba doo! Let the special effects stuff do their job."

Odessa: "No Match again... Though I severely prefer the term Muggle over No-maj. Luckily I'm not American."
Min Hee: "Ahem- Out of the 10 matches you made, 3 are correct. It's now Group 1's turn to choose."




Oliver: "...We're making progress though. 3 is the most matches we've had so far."
Benjamin: "If we can keep up this pace we should be good. I pick Eugene, because of the lifeguard thing, right?"
Oliver: "Right!.. I guess I could pick Melinda again?"




Meredith: "... Guess I'm probably teamed with that old fart. Since we score higher every time we're matched."
Hannes: "... That was the nicest thing you've said to me so far, I'm really, really flattered."
Meredith: "Fuck off."
Hannes: "... You can do so after the Challenge, but for now I'm picking you."




Meredith: "Thanks a lot..."
Freya: "Oh why brother, why?!?!"
Meredith: "I'll tell you why, its because I'm an irresistible bitch and he's a dirty bastard! Dirty old grandpa choosing the young girls, he needs to be put on a leash! And so does his slutty nightmoth prancing in nothing but a bra and a thong."




Freya: "YOU KNOW WHAT?!"
Hannes: "Pssst, calm down Frey... she isn't worth it..."

*Freya breaths in and out to calm herself down a bit*

Hannes: "You're talking nonesense. For starters, you were the one who chose me first. And believe me, I'm as disgusted about this as you are, because you are a disgrace of a witch for constantly being so mean. And besides, other than my Sister there aren't ANY old women anyway, and none of them can replace my deceased wife Mathilde. No offense."




Pearl: "Yay! Go Han! You tell her what we're all thinking!"
Iris: "Yeah, this witch'd better get eliminated first... though it'd be a shame to lose her sister. Can't we just have single eliminations going on?"
Pearl: "Yeah, I know right. But what about Pasta Boy?"
Iris: "Oh yeah, forgot about him. New plan: Pasta Boy first, then the witch bitch."
Freya: "How about.. Iris, I pick you."




Pearl: "Oh, so you had no luck with me so now you're trying with my sister?" 

*Pearl does an adorable fake pout. She then gives up and dissolves into a mess of giggles*

Pearl: "Seriously though, good luck with that. Genuinely."
Apollo: "Let's try and stay positive, hahaha. I pick you, Pearl."
Pearl: "Oooh, charming."

*The two laugh together*




Ethan: "Hmm, maybe Kiki and I could be one of the matches from round 3?"
Lucas: "Guess that I'll pick a new person then.. How about Jayda?"
Wendi: "Which leaves Frankie and Euphelia for us. I pick Euphelia, because Frankie and I made it to the Truth Booth already."
Wendell: "Me and Euphelia were matched in round 1 too. So I pick Frankie."




Melinda: "You're neat, right? Maybe we could be a correct match?"
Oliver: "... You got a point."
Benjamin: "Hey, but how about operation lifeguard?"
Oliver: "Oh..."




Diana: "I support Melinda and Oliver."

*Diana pats Apollo on his back*

Apollo: "Ahem, and so do I."
Jerry: "I'll jump on that train as well then."




Oliver: "... I guess I'll stick to it as well then. Maybe we could get you and Eugene after us?"
Benjamin: "You're right. Oliver and Melinda please."
Frankie: "Melinda and Oliver."
Meredith: "I don't give a rat's ass."
Min Hee: "Oliver and Melinda, please enter the Truth Booth."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Oliver Grieswald and Melinda Rathmore a correct match?"

Odessa: "Half the rounds are over. And yet to get the first correct match. The Assassin's got reason to enjoy themselves well. But will they during the second half of the Challenge?"
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, only 1 is correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."




Jerry: "Ya know what, I'm going to pick Wendell. I’m confident this is right."
Frankie: "If it isn't ya just showed ya Sherlock skills on international tv."
Jerry: "Like ya showed ya personal hygiene on international tv?"
Frankie: "Ey, shut it, will ya!"




Melinda: "Darn it, I really thought he was going to be the one for me. I mean the one that is paired with me...in this game...of course. Hehe."

*Melinda blushes*

Melinda: "What if it's Hannes and you though? I'm going to keep wondering. Everytime you've chosen Hannes there'd been matches but I don't want to keep choosing the same if it's wrong."
Meredith: "Ugh, if I can leave this dumb game I'm glad to. Hannes."




Melinda: "Great. If it's not Oliver though... how about Ethan for me?"
Ethan: "Hmm, and why do you think it's me?"
Melinda: "... I don't know."
Ethan: "Oh..."




Eugene: "Could I and Benjie still be a potential match? Lifeguards and aqua sports. It wouldn't make sense if we're not a match."
Oliver: "I think so. After Melinda and me, you were my second choice. And if you are, we got the only match of round 5."
Eugene: "And that means we can cross out the other matches of that round. I pick Benjamin."
Euphelia: "Hmm... What if we would all tell a little something about ourselves though? Maybe we could use that to figure out some matches?"




Benjamin: "Sure, why not? Means we can get to know eachother a bit as well."
Jayda: "Yeah! We're now all together anyway, can't hurt."
Benjamin: "Oliver is a neat freak who just got a degree in physics, and I'm a lifeguard and surfer who turned into a mersim."




Jayda: "I'm an extravert happy go lucky girl who loves partying, the beach and my boyfriend Tomasz. Kiki?"
Kiki: "I'm an introverted fitness guru. I'm very career driven and single."
Frankie: "Jerry there's da lazy, hotheaded family traitor, while Imma the one who likes family, tradition and mah good food. Which is good. Just look up some reviews."
Jerry: "Ey, doncha call me a family traitor, I just value following my own dreams as well, capiche?"
Frankie: "Pfft."




Melinda: "Hey, I just realised Iris has fish scales on her top, she could be a possible match for Benjie."
Iris: "No offense, Melinda, but I doubt that our clothing will matter. We could've been wearing anything."
Melinda: "Hmm, you got a point. It was worth pointing out though."
Meredith: "No, it wasn't you dumbass."




Iris: "I think I'd pick Oliver. Who do you think would work better for Pearl though? Apollo or Lucas?"
Pearl: "Oh, hi there. Sup?"
Apollo: "Me, maybe? Like last round?"
Benjamin: "Sounds fine. And if another match is right we can eliminate this pair."
Pearl: "Okay. I pick Apollo."




Odessa: "Okay, we only need Frankie, Jayda and Kiki to pick before we can go to the Truth Booth. Hurry up!"
Frankie: "Ya know what, I'm gonna pick Wendi again, so we also got one already confirmed wrong."
Wendi: "Hey, no!"
Frankie: "Sup."
Wendi: "Hmmm....."




Kiki: "Well, Lucas and Freya, who shall we pick?"
Jayda: "Your pick first?"
Kiki: "Sounds okay to me. Freya?"
Jayda: "Leaves Lucas to me I guess."
Odessa: "Great. Time to send to the Truth Booth."




Jerry: "Me and Wendell!"
Benjamin: "Me and Eugene!"
Iris: "Eugene and Benjamin!"
Wendell: "Me and Jerry!"
Jayda: "Eugene and Benjamin!"
Melinda: "Meredith and Hannes!"




Everyone: "....."
Min Hee: "It appears that Eugene and Benjie do have the most support, but Jerry and Wendell are there as well, and we shouldn't forget Hannes and Meredith."
Odessa: "Feel free to discuss and reason with eachother to settle down on one."




Melinda: "Every time so far they've been matches we had correct matches."
Hannes: "That is true."
Freya: "Indeed, plus if Meredith's out she's out of the Challenge, huh?"
Meredith: "..."




Euphelia: "You know what, I think it could be legit."
Melinda: "If they're not a pair you're all free to do whatever because I have no clue"
Pearl: "Good point. I'll support Meredith and Hannes to get the possibility out of the way."
Iris: ".. I guess I'll change too then."




Kiki: "Me too."
Oliver: "Yup. Can't hurt to try."
Diana: "The old guy with the cranky bat. See what happens."
Min Hee: "Hannes and Meredith, please enter the Truth Booth."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Hannes Valquist and Meredith Rathmore a correct match?"

Odessa: "Congratulations, you just got your first correct match and you've earned your first 10.000 Simoleons. With less Sims in the mix you'll maybe figure the rest out sooner."
Min Hee: "Anyway, Meredith and Hannes, you've found your match and cannot talk about or participate in this Challenge anymore. Out of the 10 matches you made, 2 are correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."




Eugene: "Okay, next: Benjamin and me!"
Benjamin: "Yaaaasssss! I agree, I pick you, Gene!"
Oliver: "Never afraid of a bad pun."
Benjamin: "Who's a good match for you then? Iris?"




Oliver: "... Maybe, but yours is not Eugene. During the round that had only 1 match, Hannes and Meredith were paired up, as well as Eugene and you."
Iris: "Okay. HALLELUJAH. Now, I'd definitely try Ollie with me."
Oliver: "If I recall correctly, in round 3 there is 1 match, and the remaining viable ones are Diana-Jayda, Oliver-Iris and Wendell-Melinda. So I pick you, Iris."




Jerry: "I'm telling ya, me and Wendell are one of the correct ones."
Benjamin: "Though both you and Oliver and Iris were paired in round 6, yet there's only 1 more correct pairing besides Meredith and Hannes.Which means only 1 can be right."
Ethan: "Better not interfere with them then, I pick Kiki."
Lucas: "Pearl I guess then?"




Wendell: "You know what Jerry, I pick you, see if that works."
Wendi: "It's not Frankie for me, and Melinda's far too sacharrine, so that leaves Jayda for me."
Apollo: "Well sister, since you and Frankie are the bossy ones I'll stick with Melinda."
Diana: "... The other way around would be stupid. I was with Melinda round 1. Frankie it is."




Min Hee: "Which leaves Euphelia for Freya."
Euphelia: "... I'd almost feel overlooked."
Odessa: "Truth Booth time!"




Oliver: "I vote for Iris and me, because we have a 33% chance of being a match."
Benjamin: "I agree."
Jerry: "I disagree and suggest it's me and Wendell. There seems to be a correlation between the two of us and being a correct answer. Our relationships with our siblings are my main indicator. So I’m gonna keep voting for us til it happens."




Euphelia: "Aw. But what do you think makes a couple a ‘perfect match’? Eugene and Benjie should be compatible in terms of interests/hobbies. Maybe we should look into Hannes and Meredith more in depth. So far it seems like a random pairing to me."
Wendi: "Won't work, they can't discuss anymore."
Melinda: "But me and Freya can! Meredith studied alchemy and loves to paint. She's an introvert who prefers to be indoors but if she were to go out she'd spend her up in the mountains."
Meredith: "........."




Freya: "Good idea: Hannes can be considered a traditional family figure. He used to be a top athlete in Sweden but already retired. He has a strong bond with his children and grandchildren. But other than that he also enjoys the extreme. You can see him trying different activities and he still enjoys mountain climbing."
Euphelia: "Hmm, pretty interesting..."




Freya: "Well, both enjoy the mountains. And we also had a lot of pairs who seemed to have a lot in common but still didn't match at all, so I defintely think they are worth a shot so we can test out some theories how they are matched up together."
Jerry: "But listen, when me and Wendell have been picked it’s increased the number of matches each time. Could be coincidence but I wanna try it cause I don’t think it is. If it is, it will knock out all the options of round 2."




Wendell: "I want to try me and Jerry for sure."
Freya: "Me too."
Oliver: "The same goes for me and Iris though."
Melinda: "I vote for Jerry and Wendell."



Benjamin: "Jerry and Wendell. If they're not, we can at least eliminate them from the pairings in the other rounds."
Kiki: "Exactly. Let's do Jerry and Wendell."
Jayda: "Same."
Euphelia:"... I’m fine with whatever the majority wants, just to end this challenge as soon as possible."
Min Hee: "Jerry and Wendell, please enter the Truth Booth."



Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Jerry Belcastro and Wendell Ferris a correct match?"

*Frankie claps slowly*

Frankie: "Well done, Sherlock!"
Odessa: "After our first correct match I sensed some hopes that you'd be getting on a streak. But alas, it was not meant to be... yet?"
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, including Meredith and Hannes, 2 are correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."




Jerry: "............"
Benjamin: "If it's not you and Iris..."
Iris: "I pick Oliver."
Oliver: "If it's us, then it'll eliminate a lot of possibilities."




Jerry: "I can't believe that wasn't right. I was so certain."
Frankie: "I saw it coming. Seems like no one whose picked ya Sherlock or me have been remotely correct."
Jerry: "STOP IT!"
Frankie: "We're in a Challenge, Sherlock. Lemme pick Ethan."





Jerry: "CANCHA EVER---"
Eugene: "'Lemme pick' a break, gentlemen! Sheesh!"
Jerry and Frankie: "..."
Eugene: "Frankie, he said countless of times the past 24 hours to stop it. Shouldn't that be enough to make you stop?!"




Frankie: "And who d'ya think ya can stick ya nose in family bizniz, huh?"
Eugene: "It's getting bothersome."
Frankie: "He's gettin' bothersome."
Eugene: "You are going to stop it. Capiche?"




Frankie: "Whatever. Capiche?"
Eugene: "......."
Jerry: "I'll just pick Lucas."
Frankie: "... 100 bucks Lucas-Jerry ain't gonna be a match."




Iris: "Okay, who's an outdoorsy, easily distracted nutjob? Apart from Freya, who doesn't count because she's already not a match."
Pearl: "I'm not an easily distracted nutjob!"
Iris: ".. Sorry, that was kinda-"
Pearl: "EEK! It's that beetle again."




Iris: "... You're my easily distracted nutjob."
Pearl: "... Awwww."
Benjamin: "Dunno about nutjob or being easily distracted, but I'm outdoorsy. I think Eugene might be too because he's a lifeguard."
Pearl: "Okay, let's try Benjamin."




Eugene: "Anyone who prefers movies to novels like me?"
Benjamin: "I prefer movies while Oliver prefers books. As a matter of fact, I hung out with the film buffs in high school. Makes me wonder why we aren't a match?"
Pearl: "42 perhaps?"
Iris: "Good answer, good answer."

*The Edgeworth girls giggle*




Melinda picks Wendell
Jayda picks Diana
Kiki picks Freya
Eugene picks Wendi
Euphelia picks Apollo




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Iris Edgeworth and Oliver Grieswald a correct match?"

Pearl: "YES! FINALLY! Well done, Sis!"
Iris: "Oh thank the Watcher."
Odessa: "Congrats, you might get on a streak after all. With only 1 choosing round per group each though, you're in the final sprint."
Min Hee: "Iris and Oliver, you've found your match and cannot talk about or participate in this Challenge anymore. Out of the 10 matches you made, including Meredith and Hannes, 3 are correct. It's now Group 1's turn to choose."




Iris: "So, uh... hi."
Oliver: "Yeah, uh,-"
Odessa: "Shaddup!"
Iris and Oliver: ".........."




Benjamin: "YAAASSSSS!!! This eliminates a lot of possibilities too! In Round 3, there is only one match (and that's Oliver-Iris), so the following pairs are out: Diana-Jayda and Wendell-Melinda.
In Round 6, there are two matches, so the following are out: Euphelia-Diana, Kiki-Freya, Melinda-Ethan.
Same in Round 7: Apollo-Melinda, Diana-Frankie, Freya-Euphelia, Lucas-Pearl, Wendi-Jayda."




Benjamin: "Well, me-Melinda is one of two possible matches in one round so..."
Melinda: "I've thought about us being a pair, I'm not sure what would make us a pair though."
Benjamin: "Yeah, no idea either. I'm just going by the info that we have."




Kiki: "I've thought of an idea, on the assumption that each pair of twins is with a different set of twins could that eliminate potential matches?"
Lucas: "Hmm, go on?"
Kiki: "If me and Jayda were paired up with another set of twins, it would be one twin from one pair. So for example: me and you, Kiki and Lucas. This leaves Jayda to be matched up with the remaining twins except Ethan as they are a twin? I hope that makes sense"




Wendi: "You're saying that if there's one match together, their twins siblings are not matched by dafault?"
Kiki: ".. Yeah, like that."
Wendi: "Hmmm..."
Melinda: "That makes sense, I have thought about that myself."
Benjamin: "Maybe. All I know is that Oliver and Iris are a match, but not me and Pearl."




Pearl: "Did somebody say Pearl?! Anyone got a clue who could be matched with me?"
Benjamin: "I did. And.. you can't be partnered with me, Lucas, Hannes, Freya, Apollo and Oliver."
Pearl: "Okay. Out of Diana, Ethan, Wendi and Wendell who's most likely to be matched with me?"




Lucas: "Not me, we were paired in that round where only our confirmed couples were right."
Pearl: "Oh."
Lucas: "Guess I'll pick Kiki? I've never picked you before."
Kiki: "Because your brother did all the time."




Lucas: "Oh.."
Ethan: "Speaking of me, I think I'll pick Jayda then."
Jayda: "Oh, thanks."
Kiki: "Hold on..."




Kiki: "If my theory's right then that would mean only one of us could be a match."
Jayda: "Hey, that's right."
Ethan: "It's a theory though. It could very well be wrong."
Kiki: "I have a hunch it's legit though."




Freya: "Well... since we already have an odd pair, let me take Frankie."
Wendi: "... If Kiki's theory is right, that'd mean me and Eugene would be a good try, since Euphelia and Wendell have been confirmed to not be in round 1."
Euphelia: "Hmm, one match not being correct doesn't immediately mean that their siblings are a match though."
Wendi: "We have to start somewhere though, madam. Wendell, if you'd pick Pearl, the two of you share a certain scatterbrainedness."




Pearl: "Hey!"
Wendell: "Ehhh... Pearl I guess then?"
Pearl: ".... And you blindly follow her?"
Wendell: "It's that or facing her wrath... No thank you to that."




Euphelia: "Well. Jerry or me?"
Apollo: "Euphelia and me's still a possibility from previous round. But then again I've never been matched with Jerry."
Jerry: "I'd say go Apollo-Euphelia if we had a choice."
Diana: "Both of you have been confirmed to not be my match though. So it's all up to Apollo."




Apollo: "You're right... I pick the lovely Euphelia."
Euphelia: "... K."
Diana: "Which leaves me with Jerry."
Jerry: "Which is incorrect."
Odessa: "Which makes it Truth Booth Time!"




Benjamin: "I honestly don't know. I only picked me and Melinda because we were paired up in that round with 2 undiscovered matches"
Pearl: "Should we go for that then? It's as good a reason as any at this point."
Benjamin: "What does everyone else think? Maybe there's another pairing that someone wants to try."
Frankie: "I think we'll go with whatever will get us the closest to gettin' most pairs in the final round."
Benjamin: "Well, I guess we can try. Me and Melinda."
Frankie: "Yup."
Wendell: "I agree."
Pearl: "Same."




Melinda: "Let's put us in the Truth Booth."
Freya: "Indeed."
Odessa: "Well then."
Min Hee: "Benjamin and Melinda, please enter the Truth Booth."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Benjamin Grieswald and Melinda Rathmore a correct match?"

Benjamin: "Yes!"
Melinda: "Woohoo!"
Odessa: "Congrats, you got your third match correct! You have some solid data now, but also only one round left..."
Min Hee: "Benjamin and Melinda, you've found your match and cannot talk about or participate in this Challenge anymore. Out of the 10 matches you made, including Meredith and Hannes, and Iris and Oliver, 3 are correct. It's now Group 2's turn to choose."




Odessa: "REMEMBER! Every correct match at the end of the round will earn the Jetsetters §10.000. Since you have 3 correct matches already, you already have §30.000 in the pocket."
Min Hee: "If you get 7 or 8 matches correct, the non-correct matches will earn a Clue to the Assassin's identity. Which should also be considered when making your decision."
Odessa: "So in short: this round is the climax!"




Freya: "So here are the pairings we had already and are still possible: Eugene and Diana, Jadya and me, Kiki and Apollo, Euphelia and Lucas, Jayda and Apollo, Kiki and Wendi, Frankie and Ethan, and
Jerry and Lucas.
We should definitely test out Frankie and Ethan and also Jerry and Lucas, one of them is definetly confirmed and if the latter is the right one, it would also eliminate Euphelia and Lucas as a match."




Pearl: "I'm gonna pick Ethan because it feels a lot like my relation with Iris. Like, "I work in computer science and Ethan works on his tan"."
Eugene: "Maybe Diana then?"
Euphelia: "I guess Lucas would be my best bet."
Frankie: "Ey!... Lucas was my final option..."




Jerry: "Well, lookie here who's laughing last. I pick Wendi."
Jayda: "... Looks like we're last again, Kiki Dee.. I guess Apollo's more my type though."
Kiki: "Which leaves me and either Freya or Wendell... "
Frankie: "Go on. Choice is yours."



 Kiki: "... I pick Wendell."
Frankie: "Which leaves me with you, Freya."
Freya: "........ really?"
Frankie: "What? Both our names start with a Fr. Could be something, eh?"
Min Hee: "And with that settled we must only send one match to the Truth Booth for the very last time."




Pearl: "Can I be selfish and pick myself and Ethan? I've got a good feeling about us."
Jerry: "I'll vote for you if you believe you're right."
Eugene: "Joining the bandwagon."
Wendi: "Me too."
Wendell: "Me three."
Wendi: "..."
Jayda: "Me four!"
Kiki: "Majority rules."




Min Hee: "Well said, Kiki. Ethan and Pearl, please enter the Truth Booth."




Min Hee: "Oh Truth Booth of Truth and Verity, art Ethan McCloud and Pearl Edgeworth a correct match?"
Odessa: "Thank goodness we won't hear that phrase anymore."

Odessa: "Alas... you didn't manage to get all 10 matches correct. Looks like you goofed up a bit somewhere... But, that doesn't mean you didn't goof up too match; maybe you still have 8 or 7 matches correct, which means you'll earn Clues?"
Min Hee: "Out of the 10 matches you made, including Meredith and Hannes, Iris and Oliver, and Benjamin and Melinda....."

Min Hee: ".... 4 are correct. Which means that you've earned §40.000 out of a possible §100.000, that the remaining §60.000 goes to the Assassin, and that you have not earned a Clue."
Odessa: "Well... The Assassin did some good business the first few Challenges. But you can at least take some advantage out of it: the more things go wrong, the more leads you might get to the Assassin's identity! Which could be VERY helpful for the Ranking coming up next..."




Min Hee: "-But first... it's time for you to discover who your correct match was all along. Let's start off with the 4th match that brought you money."

Odessa: "So, there you have it. 10 correct matches."
Min Hee: "Meredith & Hannes, Iris & Oliver, Benjamin & Melinda, Euphelia & Lucas, Freya & Jayda, Ethan & Frankie, Apollo & Jerry, Diana & Kiki, Eugene & Wendell and Pearl & Wendi."
Odessa: "To quote us from when we explained this Challenge: 'The previous Challenge you've been working together with your twin sibling. From this Challenge onward however we'll juggle it up a little...'"
Min Hee: "Indeed. From now on you'll work together with your partner. Do Challenges together, Rank together, even get Eliminated together..."




Odessa: "If you don't get along with your partner though, don't worry. There will be a few Challenges along the way where you'll be able to find a new partner."
Min Hee: "There will indeed. But first... How do you think these pairs were formed?"
Odessa: "Would you believe it if we told you.. that the Assassin made them up???"

Odessa: "Nope? Then you're good at this game... Though we maybe should've done that in hindsight."
Min Hee: "The pairs were simply made by comparing the either/or questions on your application forms, and then puzzling things out to try and get all matches to averagely score as high as possible."
Odessa: "Like, Freya and Jayda only differed on 1 question. Benjamin & Melinda and Eugene & Wendell also just differed on 2 questions."
Min Hee: "We'll publish the list later today, after which it'll be Ranking time as well. Good luck and lots of wisdom."




Oliver: "So.. Shall we try and find someplace quiet so we can discuss what we just saw?
Iris: "We should.."

Bottom Floor Hallway

Oliver: "So, which room do we pick?"
Iris: ".. Door on the left?"
Oliver: "Sounds fine to me."







Oliver: "So, um, hello. I'd shake your hand, but, erm, the germs. Fist bump?"
Iris: "Fist bump then. Although if I remember my dad right that isn't going to make a blind bit of difference... but hey, if this guy's worse than me then I might as well."




Oliver: "Nice to make your acquaintance."




*Oliver rubs purifying gel on his hands*

Oliver: "Sorry, I can't help myself"




Iris: "Nah, that's perfectly fine. I'm used to it, what with my dad being a doctor and all. Well, and Greggy now, but I haven't actually seen him in action yeeee... OHMIWATCHER MY BIG BRO'S A DOCTOR! I totally forgot about that, since we basically watched him graduate and then poof - gone. Heck, I'd consider this a celebratory cruise if Greggy was actually on it... Hey maybe I could ask Odessa if we can quickly swing round to San Myshuno and pick up a stowaway? After all, we don't have HEALTH-E this season..."
Oliver: "... Maybe we could, after discussing what to do for the Ranking."
Iris: "Oh, right."

Euphelia: "I'm glady that I knew you a little better already before this duo twist."
Lucas: "Yeah, glad to be working with you as well. Just look at some of the other people out there."
Euphelia: "Precisely. I really wouldn't want working together with Apollo or something?"




Lucas: "Apollo doesn't sound too bad though. My brother's forced to work together with Frankie! Fucking! Belcastro!"
Euphelia: "That's true, Though I was on his group and couldn't be matched up with him by default."
Lucas: "That's right though. My bad."




Euphelia: "Hmm.. We have to find eachother's thinking wavelength in order to get the most out of this alliance."
Lucas: "So we should get to know eachother a bit better, right?"
Euphelia: "Maybe. We mostly have to get.. 'experienced' to eachother though and I'm certainly a thinker for a start."




Lucas: "I'm a thinker too I'd say. At least besides Ethan. I've always been more of a brains type, while he was the brawn."
Euphelia: "Hmm... What type of thinker are you though?"
Lucas: "What type?"




Euphelia: "You got people who can just suck up lists of facts and repeat them at will, you got theorists, you got people who learn from experience-"
Eugene: "- Our room is... not clear?"
Wendell: "Oh?"




Euphelia: "Oh.. hello boys."
Eugene: "Hey Phia.. Wendell and I are looking for a place to chat about the game, but I see that you're here now, so... Guess I'll look elsewhere?"
Euphelia: "Hmm."




Lucas: "Wait, Wendell was with us in the Spa as well. The more eyes we have the more things we know."
Wendell: "Yeah, the more the merrier."
Euphelia: "... I'm a solo worker though."
Wendell: "I'm just one extra face."




Euphelia: "Hmmm....."
Lucas: "I say, come on in."
Eugene: "Thanks Ethan."




Lucas: "I'm Lucas, pleasure to meet you."
Eugene: "Oh-- I'm so sorry, my mistake... Sorry.."
Lucas: "It's fine, we look alike a lot."




Euphelia: "You saw that Lucas got paired with me though."
Eugene: "..."
Euphelia: "So you could've known."
Eugene: "Yeah.. But for my defense, there are 17 others I have to keep tabs on."




Euphelia: "You're right. Just teasing you a little."
Eugene: "Ahh, right. Haha. So we're working as a team of 4 now right?"
Wendell: "Right."
Eugene: "We got a Ranking coming up next, so we gotta get things figured out."




Lucas: "I say Pearl. For someone with a hangover she played surprisingly well."
Eugene: "You sure? They're so happy and together all the time - I can hardly imagine one of them lying to the other."
Euphelia: "Lucas has a point. And I can imagine one of them keeping a secret from the other. It's not like being the Assassin makes your entire soul different."




Wendell: "Meredith concerns me. Nobody is just that flat of a rude cardboard person right?"
Lucas: "You mean she's hiding something?"
Wendell: "Yeah - I know a bit of people. She's building a personality for strategic use. To hide herself behind... or.. hide someone else behind?"
Euphelia: "Melinda?"
Euhene: "Sounds legit."

Melinda: "Let me just start off by saying thay there are so many cute guys in here it is very overwhelming for me to be surrounded by such beauty. Oh my I can feel myself getting a little flustered!"

*Melinda's face turns red and she starts fanning herself*

Melinda: "I wonder if I will find my true love in here, just like the ones I read in my favourite romance novels. Wouldn't that be so wonderful? I can see it now. A beautiful white wedding almost like a fairy tail, with Fluffums as the ring bearer. We'll say I do and run off into the sunset holding eachothers hands."




*Meredith smiles widely as she's deep in thought*

Melinda: "Ahhh, I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I?.... I should probably go clean this place, Frankie likes to place his unsanitary hands everywhere."

*Melinda shudders*

Melinda: "Well it was nice talking to you, bye for now!"

*Melinda dusts off her clothes before exiting*

Melinda: "Ugh, goodness..."




Melinda: "This is ten times worse than what Meredith and Gretel combined could ever make."




Oliver: ".. Oh. Hi there."
Melinda: "Hello, whoever you are."




Oliver: "It's Oliver."
Melinda: "Hello Oliver."




Oliver: "You're cleaning the-- oh my God, that thing's gross!"

*Oliver gags*




Melinda: "Yeah, how in the world did Frankie get this place so dirty?"
Oliver: "... I don't know and would rather keep it that way."




Melinda: "Full agree with that."

*Melinda sponges the sink for the 3rd time. It's finally clean*

Melinda: "Here goes. I've spent the last hour just cleaning the kitchen."




Oliver: "Thank you for putting all the effort in it."
Melinda: "No thanks, I like it when things are cleaned up."
Oliver: "Me too."




Melinda: "So.. how do you like the game so far?"
Oliver: "Well.. the first Challenge so far was really meh. I pretty much ran around town and barely got to play with the Battleship part. The second Challenge was more my thing though."
Melinda: "Yeah, you did a lot there."
Oliver: "That's true. Though if it were up to me, then we'd at least be dressed properly for the occasion."




Melinda: "Yeah - Meredith... Sorry for her rude behaviour by the way."
Oliver: "No need for you to apologise, it's not your fault she's acting up."
Melinda: "You're right... At least some people look fine in their sleepwear though."
Oliver: "..."




Melinda: ".. Like Hannes, Eugene, the Grieswald Brothers..."
Oliver: "... Em.. Not Frankie though.. just look at all his body hair sticking out. Gross."
Melinda: "Let's not talk about him, he's such a mood killer."
Oliver: "Obviously, hahaha."




Melinda: "How about the game? If you tell me your suspects I'll tell you mine."
Oliver: ".. Can I trust you on that?"
Melinda: "Why not?"
Oliver: "You could technically be the Assassin."




Melinda: "But so could you be."
Oliver: "You got a point."
Melinda: "Yeah, we're getting along fine."
Oliver: "Yes. We could form an alliance."




Melinda: "I'm technically 'matched' to your brother, but.. yeah, I'm pretty sure that we're a much more fitting 'match'?"




Oliver: "Wait.. you're flirting with me aren't you?"




Melinda: "Heehee. A little."




Oliver: "Oh, errr...."
Melinda: "..."
Oliver: "How do I..."
Melinda: ".. Oh.. you're dating someone already?"




Oliver: "Oh no, I'm single, but.. it's just.. I didn't expect to go and find a relationship here..."
Melinda: "Oh..... oh.."
Oliver: "Not that I'm against it but.. it's been a while since I dated someone, but.."
Melinda: "Nah, it's okay..."




Oliver: "It's just, I feel really grossed out by woohoo and all.. I mean, it's where urine comes from, right?"
Melinda: "Oh... I've never done it either. So..."
Oliver: "..."
Melinda: "..."




Oliver: ".. We can still form an alliance right?"




Melinda: "Of course. I tell mine if you tell yours, right?"
Oliver: "Perfect."

Meredith: "One package of sliced lizard tails..."

*Someone knocks the door*




*Meredith smells the dark damp*

Meredith: "Perfect."




Meredith: "A bottle of wormtail juice..."




Meredith: "There you go."




Meredith: "Stir counterclock 3 times."




*Meredith dips her finger in and taste-tests the elixer*

Meredith: "Perfect."

*Someone knocks the door again*




Meredith: "Just another couple more of these babies..."




Meredith: "... and I'll rule this fucking game in no-time."




Meredith: "Thank goodness goodye twoshoes Melinda's doing the kitchen. Nobody's gonna-"
Hannes: "Miss Rathmore, we have to talk."
Meredith: "-disturb me..."




Meredith: "If I wanted you in I'd have called on your knocking, you sleazy old dirtbag."
Hannes: "Wow?"




Hannes: "Good morning to you?"
Meredith: "Awful morning to you."
Hannes: "... We gotta work together in this. So we need to figure things out."




Meredith: "Nah, I ain't need no shitty help. I can handle my own brilliant self."
Hannes: "We're playing this game together for now though."
Meredith: "Be a good boy and get out, or I'll give you a good ass whooping, that should teach you a lesson!"




Hannes: "How about you shut the fuck up for one second and have some fucking respect!"
Meredith: "Tsk."




Hannes: "--- Don't you 'tsk' me!"
Meredith: "I don't give a damn. Just curl up and die already please, you're old and worn out anyway."
Hannes: "What in the--"




Hannes: "I've tried to be patient with you, but if you wish me to die I'm drawing the line!"
Meredith: "Good. Scram off."
Hannes: "I will! And not because you told me to!"




Meredith: "Yeah, right. And please tell your sister to get stuck to a flycatcher as well."
Hannes: "Bye-bye Meredith!"

*Hannes slams the door*

Hannes: "She really told me to die?...."

Freya: "Really? They aren't even close to my top 3!"
Jayda: "Some of the things they've done though were really sketchy."
Freya: "Hmm... Now that you mentioned them, I haven't really paid much attention to them."
Jayda: "I could fill you in on some details."




Freya: "Ah, thanks."
Jayda: "You're welcome."
Freya: "Soo, where do we get start-"
Jayda: "Wooot! Backflip!"




Freya: "Oh, hell no Elmo! You're not winning this round!"
Hannes: "Oh, hello ladies."
Freya: "Hey baby bro, come in!"
Hannes: "Thanks."




Freya: "You're always welcome in your own room, haha."
Hannes: "I just needed some nice words..."
Jayda: "Teamwork troubles with Meredith?"
Hannes: "Which teamwork? I REFUSE to work with HER!!!"




Freya: "Oh dear, she's given you a really rough time hasn't she?"
Hannes: "Tell me about it... She......"
Freya: "... Okay, what did that bitch say?"
Hannes: "... She told me to die!"




Freya: "Oh no, she didn't!..."
Hannes: "I believe she's really messed up somewhere."
Freya: "Absolutely. She doesn't even know you!"




Jayda: "She was already shouting insults at everyone on the back deck yesterday. The mongrel."
Freya: "Yeah!"
Jayda: "Why'd they cast her? She'll practically bring season ratings down with her attitude..."




Hannes: "I don't know.. Some of these shows live off the drama.."
Jayda: "Hmm..."
Hannes: "And I'm really upset of her outright telling me to die."




Freya: "Hannes, get up."
Jayda: "Hm?"
Freya: "Get up..."

*Hannes gets up*




Freya: "There you gooo... now look at me..."




Freya: "SIS HUG!!!"
Hannes: "Oomph!"
Freya: "I love you baby bro!"
Hannes: "Awww..."




Hannes: "I love you too, Oopsie-Daisy."
Freya: "Hahaha..."




Freya: "Now, lemme tell you a few things."

*Freya grabs Hannes by his flanks*

Freya: "If she ever says things like that again then think of how she's probably mentally challenged. She doesn't even know what she's saying, you got that?"




Hannes: "I do."
Freya: "Great! Now look at me."

*Hannes looks at Freya*

Freya: "Smile at me."




Hannes: "Haha."
Freya: "There you go. There are plenty of other people out there who are friendly and care."
Hannes: "Thank you. I really needed that."




Jayda: "WOO! Smashed your record Freya!"
Freya: "Oh no you're not!! Let's show her what we're capable of Hannes!"
Hannes: "Game on!"




Hannes: "Nice game, it's been a while since I've done snowboarding."
Freya: "Ack! I blew that jump!"
Jayda: "Yay me!"




Freya: "I'm gonna getcha!"
Jayda: "Good luck!.. Hey Hannes, since Meredith's too busy being an asshole, how about you join OUR Assassin brainstorm sessions instead?"




Hannes: "Oh really? I'd like that yes. How about Kiki?"
Jayda: "She's with Diana. Not as bad as some others, but she's so... stuck up all the time. Does she ever have fun?"
Hannes: "I could talk to Kiki later today."

Pearl: "...Somebody's getting eliminated tonight. It could be me. It could be anybody. And I have no clue who the Assassin could be."

*Pearl breathes in, then out, then in again*

Pearl: "Maybe I'm biased cuz I know the original story, but I can't help but feel condemned, y'know? Like I'm gonna be dead by the end of this. And you know what's scary? I'm okay with that. I'm perfectly calm. It's all okay. Like I've got some stupid martyr complex.

*Pearl laughs softly*




Pearl: "Must run in the family. My cousin-in-law-once-removed-who-I-just-call-my-uncle's a Jacoban, and a traumatized one at that, so that's a barrel of laughs. My real uncle's a cop with a complex, albeit that's more of a hero thing than the other guy. And Dad? Hoo boy, don't get me started on Dad. You should have seen him that one time in flu season...

*Pearl makes an ominous self-hugging motion and tears up slightly*

Pearl: "It's why Rissy's such a neat freak. It was an epidemic in our area... he'd already had it as a teenager so we thought he was safe. The really bad mutation of llama flu... the one with no vaccine. Mum was working on a cure at the time, but it didn't work. His fever got up to 103 at one point. We were so sure he was going to...

*Pearl sobs

Pearl: "Then he suddenly got better. Just like that. I guess caring for relatives until breaking point also runs in the family... C'mon Kilometres, just do the damn exam when you go back... Watcher, but I wish I could have met you, Grandpa. Sorry. Just a personal anecdote. Anyway, you know how he caught it? He was caring for his little niece... my cousin Trucy. Dad, if you're watching, I just want you to know that you're my hero. My bloody stupid hero. Love you Dad.

Lenka: "Yip yip!"
Diana: "I knew you did you clever beautiful thing!!!"

*Lenka receives a treat and nuzzles Diana*

Diana: "It's a shame I can't have children, I just hope they would be as witty as you are, you're smart, great for the environment, and just a beautiful addition to this cruise, I love animals most!!!"




*Footsteps are heard coming closer. Odessa then comes in*

Odessa: "... Diana, what are you doing with my Lenka?"




Diana: "Well, I like Foxes, and I just couldn't help already loving this cute little thing!!!"
Lenka: "Yip yip!"

*Lenka licks Diana*




Odessa: "Okay. Can I have her back now?"
Diana: "... But we just started. And you have her all year already."
Odessa: "Meh."
Diana: "What if this is the last time I'll ever see her?"
Odessa: "... Meh."




*Someone knocks on the door*

Diana: ".. Come in?"




Kiki: "Hi, can we talk about.. Oh, Odessa."
Odessa: "Sup."
Diana: "Ah yes, I'd like to discuss our suspects with you, after I get our visitor to leave."




Odessa: "If I can have Lenka back then sure."
Diana: "... So you are going to play it like that?"
Odessa: "Yup."
Lenka: "Yip yip!"




Diana: "Sounds rather selfish to me though, young lady."
Odessa: "Meh."
Kiki: "You can always cuddle her later on."
Diana: "... Alas, fine."




Odessa: "Thank you. Now who's gonna get some cuddles and happy tickles on their belly?"
Lenka: "Yip yip!"
Kiki: "... So..."




Diana: "Some humans. Bwah..."
Kiki: ".. For now we can better keep the hosts on our good side."
Diana: "Shame that she has to be like that. If my father would hear about this..."




Kiki: "This show does get aired over the world, so who knows?"
Diana: "Indeed. Hmm..."
Kiki: "Have a seat now?"
Diana: "Naturally."




Kiki: "This room looks really pretty."
Diana: "Thank you. Though I would've loved to have the room those witch sisters hijacked away from our noses."




Kiki: "This one's fine as well though."
Diana: "Hmm... It's still not my favourite though"
Kiki: "Maybe if one of them gets Eliminated you could move in there?"
Diana: "I suppose I could.."




Kiki: "Let's cut to the game; have you noticed some odd behaviours from others?"
Diana: "I have a couple of hunches. Though no conclusions."
Kiki: "It's a starting point."




Diana: "And that's what we need. Because how in Olympus can we know after 1 day who the Assassin is?"
Kiki: "Exactly. Hector even lay low the first days last season."
Diana: ".. That could mean our first tells are useless."




Kiki: "Hmm... What if we start off with summing up who's not the Assassin?"
Diana: "That could work."
Kiki: "I trust Hannes and Freya for now. And my own sister Jayda."




Diana: "I trust my little Polly. Despite that little scene during the Challenge this morning."
Kiki: "You're siblings, sometimes you have those fights."
Diana: "Heheh..."

Jerry: "If ya think I cook slop, why d'ya want me in the resaurant anyways?"
Frankie: "Waiter? Hosting? Maybe even a mascot?"
Jerry: "No, no, and hell to the no."




Frankie: "Pfft, shame."




Jerry: "Ignore him Jer, and just focus on your hotdogs."
Frankie: "Cuz you'd do much better than what ya 'do' for a 'living' now."

Frankie: "Lil' Sherlock threw food-"
Jerry: "- Sorry Min Hee, that ass called me-"
Frankie: "- He threw his junk first-"
Jerry: "- He should stop taunting me-"




Min Hee: "Okay, that's enough! You're going to tell me your story one by one."




Frankie: "We were just cooking us some hotdogs and then Sherlock over there threw a couple in my face!
Min Hee: "Is that so?"




Min Hee: "Jerry, what's your side of the story?"
Jerry: "I was here cooking hotdogs first, then he came in and started making mean triggering remarks."
Min Hee: "Hmm..."




Min Hee: "We'll discuss this later. But for now I'll keep my eye on you while you finish your hotdogs in peace. Oh, and I'll take the responsibility of cooking dinner today."
Jerry: "Hmph, fine."
Frankie: "Hey no! I'm the only cook on board!"
Min Hee: "Then it's good that I have worked as a cruise steward before and know my way in a kitchen."

Wendi: "Wait a second..."




Wendi: "I still need to get him to talk."




Wendi: "But how?..."

Wendi: "I think I have a plan."




Apollo: "- Oh hey there."

*Wendi pretends to blow her nose*

Apollo: "Are you allright?"




Wendi: "...."
Apollo: "Don't have fear, Apollo's here."




*Ding-ding-ding-ding!*

Apollo: "What was that?"
Odessa (through the intercom): "Wendi and Apollo, that's your cue for the musical song for today!"
Wendi: "Oh crap."







Apollo: "Lift up your head, wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away"




Apollo: "Show me your face clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad but now they're okay"




Apollo: "Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you
You don't need no make-up don't have to pretend"




Apollo: "Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understandin', Seymour's your friend"




Wendi: "Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, Mama was poor"




Wendi: "I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers and me I'd say, 'Sure'"




Wendi: "Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders, he don't condescend"




Wendi: "Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend"




Apollo: "Tell me this feeling last 'til forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away"




Apollo and Wendi: "Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been it's so hard to say"




Wendi: "Suddenly, Seymour (Apollo: "Suddenly, Seymour")
Wendi: "He purified me" (Apollo: "Ooooh-ohoooh")




Wendi: "Suddenly, Seymour" (Apollo: "Suddenly, Seymour")
Wendi: "Showed me I can" (Apollo: "Showed you can")

Wendi: "The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding" (Apollo: "With sweet understanding")




Wendi: "With sweet understanding" (Apollo: "With sweet understanding")
Apollo and Wendi: "With sweet understanding"




Apollo and Wendi: "Seymour's your man"




Wendi: "Sooo... thanks Apollo, can I ask you a little question?"
Apollo: "Sure."
Wendi: "Could you please tell me why you sent those answers to us attackers?"




Apollo: "Oh.. I'm not sure if I should do that."
Wendi: "Oh?"
Apollo: "Odessa was quite mad at me."




Wendi: "But.. we just had a little singing thing together..."
Apollo: "I know..."
Wendi: "Please.. Just look in my eyes..."




Apollo: "It's just- I'm afraid it could get me into trouble. I already got two strikes because of it- not mentioning Diana's still upset at me and I really have to be careful to not get a third strike."
Wendi: "You know what?"




Wendi: "Forget it!"
Apollo: "No, wait!"

Pearl: "Wait, are you saying that you're."

Diana: ".... What an... Ugh. Why are they being so unreasonable? Blackmailing us, how barbaric?"

Min Hee: "Good.. that's the last one. Almost there..."




Pearl: "Phew.. Who knew being rescued by helicopter while floating around midsea could be so fun, hahaha?"
Hannes: "Psst. That might not count for the aftermath though."




Pearl: "Annnd.. Safe."
Min Hee: "Good. I'd like to have a word with the 5 of you."
Pearl: "Oh?"




Min Hee: "Jumping overboard straight into the sea was a very stupid, dangerous thing to do."
Benjamin: "Sorry - I started it. I needed to do that, I'm a MerSim after all."
Min Hee: "We have a swimming pool on board for that."
Benjamin: "I know, but we do crave to swim in sea water as well."




Min Hee: "... Anyway, for this time I'll have to let you all off the hook. But jump in the sea again and you will get a strike."
Ethan: "Really?"
Odessa: "Small technicality - apparantly that wasn't covered in the rule book until Min Hee put it in just 5 minutes ago."
Kiki: "Oh, really?"




Min Hee: "The same goes for all other Jetsetters. Jumping from the boat in the sea while we're not docked will give you a strike."




Min Hee: "Do you understand me?"
Jetsetters: "Sir yes sir!"
Min Hee: "... Right."




Freya: "Thank goodness you're okay, you're not the youngest anymore..."
Hannes: "I'm fine, I'm still doing mountain-climbing."
Freya: "That's true.. But still."




Lucas: "Thank goodness it went alright, Eeth. What if we got striked for it?"
Ethan: "Well, we know to be careful now."
Lucas: "You're the closest person I have."




Pearl: ".. I shouldn't have done that, sorry.. It was stupid and dangerous to do."




Iris: "It was.. but to be honest it was actually really cool Pearl. I mean, who else can tell they've jumped off the Jetsetter besides the five of you?"




Pearl: "Sweet Watcher sis, you're turning into me."

*beat*

Pearl: "I kinda like it."
Iris: "Oh, hahaha.."




Diana: "Wait!!"
Apollo: "Stop!!"




Diana: "We need to catch that helicopter!"
Odessa: "Wait what?!"
Apollo: "Quick!"




Min Hee: "Okay, what is going on here?"
Apollo: "Eh..."
Diana: "We got a phone call, from our Uncle Poseidon. We got another half-sister."




Odessa: "Oh, congrats!"
Diana: "Thanks, but.. Our dad's celebrating it big and he's forcing us to attend.. So we must leave."
Min Hee: "So, you're dropping out?"
Apollo: ".. That, or Uncle Poseidon will blow a tsunami this way, so I'd rather see y'all live for another day."




Odessa: "Wow, heavy shit there."
Benjamin: "That's.. wow."
Hannes: "It must be hard to leave this behind you.. so thanks for sparing our lives."
Lucas: "Yeah... I can only agree to that."




Diana: "So.. I guess we'll have to say our goodbyes to you all now."
Apollo: "Yeah... Goodbye everybody!"
Diana: "Good luck to all of you."
Apollo: "We can always meet again soon."




Kiki: "It was nice working together with you, Diana."
Diana: "Thank you, Kiki."




Freya: "It was great having talked with you the past day."
Apollo: "Same here. Shame that we weren't a match, but yeah.."
Freya: "Yeah, alas.."
Apollo: "If our family just wasn't a bunch of Mad Gods..."




Diana: "You're one of them as well, brother. Remember that one time when little Hermes stole your cattle and you almost threw him to the Hades?"
Apollo: "Oh, yeah! But his little lyre was sooo adorable though."
Diana: "He made it out of the intestines of your own cows. And you acutally gave your Caduceus for it."
Apollo: "It was a lovely lyre."




Diana: "Yes it was."
Apollo: "I still have it lying around somewhere I believe... Goodbye everyone!"
Jetsetters: "Goodbye!"

*Apollo and Diana enter the helicopter. The helicopter flies away, ending their time on Jetset*

Min Hee: "So... Jetsetters..."




Min Hee: "After these unexpected events I guess it's time for the Ranking."
Jetsetters: "What?!"
Min Hee: "We'll give you 15 minutes to find your duo partner, if you still have one, and discuss who to put in your Ranking."

Odessa: "Jetsetters, it is time for the Ranking! One by one, I will call your names. When your name is called, you go and enter the Theatre. There, you will see that the screen displays portraits of all the original twins. In the middle of it all, you can find an empty Top-Three-List; please use the touch screen to drag your top three suspected twins to their corresponding spots in the list. If you're done, press the Enter button, then go back to your room and stay there until we say you can leave. Is it all clear? Got no questions?"

Everybody: "No questions!"

Odessa: "Great, lets go! Jerry, you are first!"




*Jerry puts in his Ranking*




*Iris and Oliver put in their Ranking*




*Benjamin and Melinda put in their Ranking*




Kiki: "I have come to this ranking as I believe these pairs have been the most suspicious during the first two challenges. ___ & ___ have been exceptionally unhelpful for the group which is very interesting, the other suspects have been less destructive but still have caused many mistakes during the challenges."




*Pearl and Wendi put in their Ranking*




*Euphelia and Lucas put in their Ranking*




*Ethan and Frankie put in their Ranking*




Meredith: "They must be the Assassin because they're butt fuckin' ugly!"
Hannes: "Then you are the Assassin too because you fulfill both criterias. Man, I envy my sister, at least her partner is somewhat dealable..."




Freya: "We think they are the best Options. They behaved really sus during the challenge and the matching so that must mean they are totes bad News, right Jayda?"
Jayda: "Riiiight. Plus they all look semi-evilish which makes me very nauseous. Then again that could just be those hot dogs I ate earlier."
Freya: "You mean the ones Frankie and Jerry made?

*Freya gags

Freya: "Good think I didn't ate those..."
Jayda: "Frankie and Jerry made them? I thought it was Hannes who made them. It's definitely the hot dogs then."
Freya: "Nope, Hannes has hardly time to cook because he is the one who needs to listen to Meredith all the time and he's getting more and more grumpy. I knew this was infectious, but thankfully I'm immune."

*Freya grins*




*Eugene and Wendell put in their Ranking*

Min Hee: "Jetsetters. First I'd like you to say hello to my personal specialty..."




Min Hee: "... Banana Bread."




Meredith: "Do I want to know where that poor banana's been stuck in?"
Min Hee: "The traditional bakery oven in the kitchen, ma'am."
Meredith: "..."




*Min Hee serves a slice for every Jetsetter and the host team*




Min Hee: "Before we begin I'd like to dedicate this moment to Apollo and Diana. If they didn't drop out voluntarily, then... who knows what would've happened to us? ..."
Odessa: "To Apollo and Diana!"




Jetsetters: "To Apollo and Diana!"
