Odessa: "Is it working?"

*A red blinking bulb confirms Odessa's question*

Odessa: "Yaaay!"

Odessa: "Take that, Sharon. Guess what show's isn't gonna be cancelled anytime soon?"

*Odessa triumphantically snaps her fingers*

Odessa: "Ahem, anyways, now it's time to rock it again WITH proper visuals. Oh, and this afternoon will be the 2-week point. With Edmund's Elimination, only 5 out of 12 are still present on the Jetsetter. Congrats to these 5: Connie, Diane, HEALTH-E, Hector and Salma."

Odessa: "From here on the finale is within grabs. Here on, the odds for the honest Jetsetters are 50%, so 2 of them, plus the Assassin, will face the Finale in 5 days. But our question is: who will face their fallen friends that day? And who will be among the fallen friends? Who will be voted by the group to be the Assassin, with all the consequences? And who will be revealed to be the Assassin?"

Odessa: "That'll all be left for us to find out here, in the upcoming days of the show.

Connie: "Psst. It's me, Connie.."
Diane: "Splendid."

*Diane smiles a little, excited for what she's about to tell Connie*

Diane: "Come a little closer please, my dear."

Diane: "They can't know I'm telling you this."
Connie: "Oh.. But, er, why should you tell me in the first place?"

*Connie halts. She is unsure if she should hear something she might not be supposed to hear*

Diane: "Because it is for our own safety to be aware."
Connie: "..."
Diane: "Hector killed his brother."

Connie: ".. What?"
Diane: "I overheard the hosts talking. He confessed in the diary room."
Connie: ".... A- are you sure?"
Diane: "Very positive."

*Diane hears footsteps approaching*

Diane: "Quick, another topic. I'm afraid the next Challenge might involve physical activity again."

*Connie is slightly perplexed by the unexpected change of events and topics*

Diane: "I mean, the only real physical Challenge we've had was the Cowboy one."
Salma: "'Scuse me ladies, can we talk for a sec?"
Connie: "Oh.."

Diane: "Hmm.. I guess so, my dear. Go ahead please."
Salma: "I've been thinking: with Edmund gone there are only 5 of us left, and we're the final 3 women-"
Diane: "-Obviously-"
Salma: "-So I have this great idea: let's form a women's alliance and try for an all-female finale!"

Salma: "Well there goes another one of my suspects. Could Connie or Diane really be the assassin? Now that I think of it, Hector being the assassin almost seems TOO obvious. I have to really reconsider my suspects."

Connie: "Ooh, that sounds lovely. I'm in, Salma."
Diane: "It does sound tempting, my dear. But there's one tiny objection I'm thinking of."
Salma: "Oh, and that is?"

Diane: "... Never mind.. It's just small and barely relevant. I'll go along with the deal."
Salma: "Hmm, well then, We have a deal. Let's start at once!"
Connie: "Where will we meet?"
Salma: "If you're thinking about the kitchen, I'll have to stop you there. I can cook some basics, but I'm no cuisine wizard."

Connie: "Oh.. But.. we could teach you some tricks?"
Salma: ".. You got a point there. Laundry room?"
Diane: "I did have breakfast a while ago though."
Salma: "Does the hot tub sound fine for now?"

Diane: "Are you sure about it? It's in plain sight."
Salma: "There's the Love Button."

*Diane raises her eyebrow. She and Connie are awkwardly startled*

Diane: "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in girls like that, my dear."

Salma: "Ugh, never mind, it'd make more sense in context. I'll get changed and see you in the kitchen, okay?"

*Connie and Diane nod. Salma walks off*

Connie: "Ummph..so Hector is a murderer and Salma now joined our alliance?"
Diane: ".. You could say that, yes."
Connie: "... And your tiny objection?"
Diane: "I guess I can tell you.."

Diane: "In order for an all-female finale, one of us has to be the Assassin. And if Hector or HEALTH-E is th Assassin, then one of us has to go home before the Finale."
Connie: "Good point."
Diane: "I think I can sail along with the thought, but I think pointing it out wouldn't hurt."

Connie: "Okay.. I think we should go to the kitchen.. We don't want Salma to wait."

Bedroom Corridor

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*Hector yawns out loudly and rubs his eyes. He has had a bad night, after the police incident*

Hector's inner voice: Now someone must've called them.. but who would do such a thing?

HEALTH-E: "Good morning Hector. You look tired. Do you need some extra sleep?"
Hector: "Nah, g'morning...."
HEALTH-E: "If you are not fully awake, you should go back to sleep."
Hector: "No.. My mind's a beehive atm, too much buzzing through.."

HEALTH-E: "That is quite obnoxious to hear. Shall I call for an exterminator to get rid of the bees?"
Hector: "Err, heha, no.. I just need some time to.. think about stuff.."
HEALTH-E: ".. I think I took that literally again."
Hector: "Yes.. yes, you did."

*Hector closes the door*

HEALTH-E: "I am sorry."
Hector: "It's fine, you're doing your best. But for the moment I need to be alo-.."

*The situation triggers a memory of Hector's. He suppresses the urge of a vein to pulse slightly.*

Hector: "Leave! Me! A! Lone!"
HEALTH-E: "I am sorry, but could you please explain what exactly a lone is?"

HEALTH-E: "Code7441_Activate... Language_no.3: Français. Vous parlez français aussi?"
Hector: ".. Åh gud..."
HEALTH-E: "Code7441_Activate... Language_no.18: Dansk. Du er fra Danmark, ja?"
Hector: "... Jeg vil hellere tale engelsk nu."

HEALTH-E: "Code7441_Activate... Language_no.1: English. I am back to English now."
Hector: "Great. I just wanted to say I'd rather have.. no others in the same room as me, okay?"
HEALTH-E: "Okidoki."
Hector: "Before I go, can I ask you if you are programmed with all languages there are? Like Artie Stique?"

HEALTH-E: "Could you please tell me who Artie Stique is?"
Hector: "World-famous artist, wears so much colours it hurts your eyes.. No?"
HEALTH-E: "That desription does not sound familiar at all."
Hector: "Okay then, I'm off."

*Hector leaves*

Hector: "One thing I do know now: someone did call the police. Now my questions are who would do it, why would they do that and how did they know? ... On second thought, scrap the first 2 questions. Probably Diane, just to get another player out. How typical, snitching other players to try and get further. Makes me wish the cameras were working, so she could have been caught."

Hector: "HEALTH-E on the other hand.... Even without the pressure of a strike he denied doing it. After 2 weeks I know HEALTH-E well enough to know he's very honest with such matters. I think he might be too honest though, so I can't confide it to him, at least for as long as I'm still playing. If I'm going to jail, I'd rather go after my business here's done."

Odessa: "Well.."

Odessa: "How do I look?"
Min Hee: "Great. Very casual, I see. What do you think?"

Odessa: "The clothes are fine, this braid's far too tight though, worse than the ones from the Arrow Challenge.. Maybe we should switch hairstyles"
Min Hee: "Hmm, not sure if the stylists like that.. Fashion protocol, you know."
Odessa: "Ughhh...... Lenka, what do you think?"

*Lenka snores a slight bit*

Min Hee: "I think she'd rather stay out, heehee."
Odessa: "Naah.. Don't get me started 'bout your sock-shoe-dress match."

Min Hee: "At least they fit in with the 'handschoen' theme."
Odessa: "... Theme?"
Min Hee: "Duh, for the Challenge. Dutch saying: 'Geen katje om zonder handschoenen aan te pakken'. Translates as 'Not a cat to deal with without socks', according to the stylists."
Odessa: "... Right?"

*Odessa's phone starts ringing*

*Odessa checks the number before accepting the call. It's Olive Kropp.*

Odessa: "No Olive, we won't allow you back in th- ... Wait, what about the socks?"
Min Hee: "?"
Odessa: "'Handshoenen' does not translate as 'socks', you say?"

Min Hee: "Whoa?"
Odessa: "Oh, so it means 'Not a cat to deal with without gloves'... Yikes.. Thanks for telling us, bye."

*Odessa ends the call*

Min Hee: "...So, we're wearing the socks for nothing?"

Odessa: "Yup, we are.."

*Odessa dials the stylist's number*

Min Hee: "What're you??-"
Odessa: "Hi. It's Odessa."

Odessa: "You're fired. Have a nice day."
Min Hee: "What? ... What was that for?"
Odessa: "We can't use incapable stylists."
Min Hee: ".. That went a bit too far, young lady."

Odessa: "Let's go, we have a Challenge to host."
Min Hee: "Are you even listening?!?!?!"
Odessa: "Might as well get that braid out soon enough.. Full moon tonight."
Min Hee: "Never mind....."

Odessa (through the intercom): "Jetsetters, please gather in the usual spot for the next Challenge!"

Odessa: "Well, look how quick that went. It does help that there are only 5 of you left. Be proud of accomplishing that."
Diane: "I will, my dear."
Odessa: "Thanks. The next Challenge. It will be a test of your capabilities in managing your money and purchasing the best deal. All packed in a layer of fluffy furry friends. NO horses, BTW."

Diane: "That sounds like my specialty. Economics was one of my best subjects in high school."

Salma: "Really? .. Interesting.."
Diane: "Thank you."
Hector: "Hmm.."
Connie: "Fluffy furry friends." :3

HEALTH-E: "People, I would rather have Odessa finish her orders before we go talking."
Odessa: "HEALTH-E's right, let me finish first."

Odessa: "You'll be told more about the rules at our location: the Appaloosa Plains Animal Shelt-"
Min Hee: "Houston, we have a problem."
Odessa: "Odessa here, not Houston."
Min Hee: "... The shelter called. They cancelled out."

Odessa: "Wait, what?"
Min Hee: " We can't go to the animal shelter for the Challenge."
Odessa: "Fuck."

*Diane coughs to remind Odessa to watch her language*

Min Hee: "No use to call them, they called me already."
Odessa: ".. Then I'll call production.. Ugh, what's wrong with this phone?"
Min Hee: "You're holding it upside down."
Odessa: "....."

*Some Jetsetters burst out giggling*

Min Hee: "Sorry guys, small problem here."
Diane: "Typical."
Min Hee: "Please wait here until further notice."
Hector: "Well then, guys."

HEALTH-E: "Okay everyone, what will we do now?"
Diane: "Perhaps just standing around pointlessly, waiting until they solved their drama?"
HEALTH-E: "Okidoki."

*Diane rolls her eyes*

Diane: "Typical.."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Around more or less 30 minutes later

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Min Hee: "Well.."

Min Hee: "I know, it's not much, but at least the weather is sunny up here."
Vul: "Duh, why add horrid weather to the mix if it can be sunny 24/7 without paying for another expansion pack?"
Min Hee: "... Ahem, sooo, what we'll do now..."

Odessa: "Start the game already, I guess?"
Min Hee: "... Yes, I think so."
Odessa: "Told ya!"

Min Hee: "Let's begin. There are ten cards: seven cats, each worth 15, 11, 8, 5, 3, -5 or -8 points..."

Min Hee: "... two dogs, a big and a small one, the bigger one chasing away the most valuable cat and the smaller one chasing away the least valuable..."

Min Hee: "... and one worthless bunny."

Odessa: "Each of you gets a full set of these. Before we begin, the player sitting clockwise next to you blindly picks a card out of your hand and gives it to us. That card will be out of the game. So, if you could first do that..."

*Everyone picks a card from the hands of their fellow players and give it to the hosts*

Min Hee: "Thank you. Each round you all will secretly select a card in your hand and add it to the row up for sale. Then the first card is revealed and the auction begins; Jetsetter playing first, HEALTH-E in round 1, the previous buyers in the next rounds, will decide if they want to bid for it or pass and if they want to bid, how much."

Odessa: "After they made up their mind, the next player sitting clockwise decides if they want to bid higher or pass, and so on and so forth, etc etc etc. Every time someone passes another part will be revealed, giving you more information about what you actually are bidding for. The final person left will see the whole set and receive the points for the prize they bade. And then the next round begins."

Min Hee: "Each of you starts with 15 coins, the currency in this game."

*Odessa hands out the coins to the Jetsetters while Min Hee continues her explanation*

Min Hee: "You will use these to pay for the cards. Every round the quitters will get a compensation for passing, respectively 2, 3, 4 and 6 coins for the first, second, third and fourth passer. There are only 120 coins overall in-Challenge. That means saving too much can and will cancel the compensations. Be careful."

Odessa: "The person who after 9 rounds has gather the most points from buying cards wins a private Clue. Private. From us. The total amount of coins you all cumulatively have after 9 rounds determines the money earned for you: 1 coin equals 1000 Simoleons. That means you can potentially earn $120.000 with the Challenge! Any questions?"

Jetsetters: "A lot!"

Odessa & Min Hee: "..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

One very tiring Q&A session later

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*HEALTH-E's card is revealed to be a Cat, worth +8 points*

Min Hee: "HEALTH-E, would you like to bid? If so, how many coins?"

HEALTH-E: ".. I would rather pass. I still do not get much of the Challenge, so I would rather watch first."
Odessa: "Okay then. Salma?"

*Min Hee gives HEALTH-E 2 coins and reveals Salma's card: a Small Dog*

Salma: "Nope. Pass."

*Odessa gives Salma 3 coins and reveals Connie's card: a +3 Cat*

Min Hee: "Connie, what do you think?"

Connie: "I.. I'll bid 3 coins."
Odessa: "Great! 3 has been bid."
Diane: "I raise to 4."

Hector: ".. Let them have the first one, I'm passing."
Min Hee: "Okay, there goes."

*Odessa gives Hector 4 coins and reveals Diane's card: a -5 Cat*

Min Hee: "Connie, would you like to raise?"

Connie: "Err... no, I'm passing."
Diane: "Thank you, my dear."
Odessa: "Connie gets 6 extra coins. Diane gets the +8, Small Dog, +3, -5 and Hector's now revealed +5! Small Dog chases away -5, earning Diane a nice 16 points. Good deal you got."
Min Hee: "Jetsetters, now it's time to pick a card for the second round! Please make your choice..."

Odessa: "Round 2. Diane begins this round and her card is a Big Dog. Your choice?"
Diane: "Pass this time, my dear."

*Min Hee hands 2 coins over to Diane and reveals Hector's card to be a +3*

Hector: "Pass please."

Min Hee: "Okay, with that HEALTH-E's card is a... Bunny"
HEALTH-E: "Pass."
Odessa: "Salma?"
Salma: "My card is a +8, but I'd like to pass that as well."

*Odessa gives Hector, HEALTH-E and Salma 3, 4 and 6 coins respectively, while Connie looks around, nervously smiling*

Connie: "Errr... does that leave.. me? I have to buy now?.."

Min Hee: "Connie, as the final person left without any previous bid placed you have two options now: you can either buy the set for 1 coin, or pass and forfeit the whole set. The choice is yours."

*Connie looks at the set: Big Dog, +3 Cat, Bunny, +8 Cat and Connie's own +8 Cat*

Connie: "That's.. Dog chases 8 out - 11 points, for just 1 coin. I think I'll take it."
Odessa: "Great! Time for the third round now, guys. Cards ready?"

*The Jetsetters pick their cards for the third round*

Min Hee: "Well, there goes. Connie's card this round is a +15 Cat."
Odessa: "Connie, would you like to bid for this hand?"
Connie: ".. I think I want to open with 3."

Min Hee: "Okay."
Diane: "I'll bid 4."
Hector: "6!"
Odessa: "Oooh, eager. HEALTH-E?"

HEALTH-E: "I would still like to pass for this round."
Min Hee: "Okay, that's 2 coins for you and Diane's card revealed as a +3 Cat."
Salma: "Passing as well."
Odessa: "Min Hee, lets add 3 coins for Salma and Hector's Small Dog to that. Connie?"

Connie: "HEALTH-E and Salma.. they had the same strategy of saving coins altogether, it seems. I wouldn't be surprised if they were allied. . . Confiding Diane and myself to her now looks riskier than we thought.. I should be careful."

HEALTH-E: "The reason why I decided to stay out of the auction for the first few rounds is because I was not programmed with extensive knowlegde about the workings of economical markets and trade. All those types of scripting and programming went instead to my younger cousin, WEALTH-E. She can be a personal administrative and stock-marketing companion. She namely keeps her information data-base about the latest developments in stock markets worldwide up-to-date 3 times per minute and--"

*HEALTH-E's confessional gets fast-forwarded, due to it's extensive length of 7263 seconds*

HEALTH-E: "... and that is a basic guide on how to manually activate the radioactive neutron cannon on my Uncle STEALTH-E. My battery is running low now, so I must proceed to retreat to my own room."

Connie: "... 8 coins please."
Diane: "9."
Hector: "Raise that to 12."
Connie: "Make that 14."

Diane: "Ugh, typical. Can't afford that. I must pass."

*Diane sighs out shortly, tapping with her fingers on the table. Min Hee gives her 4 coins.*

Min Hee: "Let's hope these will help out with that. HEALTH-E's put in a Big Dog this hand."

Hector: "I'm pulling out as well now."
Odessa: "Well, we know what that means. Hector gets 6 coins, and Connie gets the hand."
Min Hee: "Connie, your full set includes a +15 Cat, a +3 Cat, a Small and a Big Dog, and finally Salma's -5 Cat. The dogs, since there are more than one, will go and play and leave the cats alone."

Odessa: "15 + 18 - 5 equals a nice 13 points for you. Time to pick your next cards again, since Round 4 is coming our way!"
Min Hee: "Another note from us: we only have 19 coins left in the bank. If you don't spend at least 11 this round we have less than 15 coins for the passers, forcing us to cancel refunds. Just a reminder."

*FAST FORWARDING A BIT CUZ MOST IS JUST MORE OF THE SAME ANYWAY*

ROUND 4

Connie's Big Dog revealed

Connie bids 2

Diane bids 4

Hector bids 6

HEALTH-E bids 7

Connie passes (+2)

Diane's Bunny revealed

Diane bids 9

Hector passes (+3)

Hector's +15 revealed

HEALTH-E bids 12

Salma passes (+4)

HEALTH-E's +11 revealed

Diane: "I'll leave it to you, HEALTH-E. I pass."

Odessa: "Okay, that means this hand is yours, HEALTH-E. And not much will change here with Salma's card revealed, because it's just a Bunny. The Big Dog chases away the +15 Cat and now you only have 2 Bunnies worth 0 and a +11. The math is easy. New round, new cards. Go!"

*The Jetsetters pick their new cards*

Min Hee: "Before we play just another warning: the bank only has 16 coins, 14 need to be paid this round or else you'll receive no compensations for passing. You're on the edge now. HEALTH-E's card is a -8. HEALTH-E?"

HEALTH-E: "I would like to pass."

Connie: "Me too."

HEALTH-E: "I think it is not your turn yet, Connie. Salma has to play first."

*Odessa reveals Salma's +11 Cat after giving HEALTH-E 2 coins*

Salma: "I'm feeling confident this round. 10!"

HEALTH-E: "Are you sure?"

Connie: "I'm still passing."

Diane: "Me too."

Hector: "Me three."

Odessa: "Well, that was quick. Let me see..."

*Odessa gives the passers their coins and reveals the cards*

Min Hee: "Salma, Connie threw in a -8, Diane a +11 and Hector a Big Dog. Add it all up and you'll get -5 points."

Salma: "Shit! Really guys? .. I truly suck at this Challenge."

Odessa: "To pour some extra salt in the wounds, 10 coins.. won't give the bank enough coins to afford cancellation refunds. We're 4 coins short to 15. Y'all better start spending your coins a bit."

Min Hee: "Time to pick for Round 6."

*FAST FORWARDING A BIT AGAIN*

Min Hee: "Indeed, you did. Card time!"

Odessa: "Only 1 round to go, Jetsetters! Please hand in your final cards and then we can begin!"

*The Jetsetters do so. Odessa immediately reveals Hector's card to be a -8*

Min Hee: "Hector, what would you like to do?"

Hector: "Pass. This one's quite worthless."

Odessa: "HEALTH-E's card is not though: Cat worth 15 points."

HEALTH-E: "I would like to take that. I am bidding all my 18 coins."

Salma: "Whoa, you sure? I'm passing."

Min Hee: "Salma hereby passes. Her Cat is another +15 Cat."

Hector: "Salma really played things oddly this Challenge. I would've totally raised that bid with just 1 coin. I mean, -1) the player before you claimed all-in, -2) that player has a revealed +15, -3) you know you have a +15 yourself and -4) you have a far bigger stash of money than everyone else, effectively being able to outbid anyone AND still having a reasonable amount left over."

Connie: "I'm passing too. I used a -5."

Diane: "Typical. I can't afford it."

Odessa: "Well, so that wraps the auctioning up. Diane's card is a -8, leaving HEALTH-E to buy a total of 9 points for 18 coins."

Min Hee: "Time to reveal the final results."

Odessa: "Let's start with the person who has the least in his pocket after going all in: HEALTH-E, obviously, has 0 coins left."

HEALTH-E: "I hope it was worth it."

Min Hee: "The second emptiest wallet in hands of a Jetsetter is Hector's: 5 coins."

Hector: "Okay."

Odessa: "After that comes the person who made quite some deals: Diane has 17 coins leftover."

Diane: "Thank you."

Min Hee: "Then comes the person who bought a lot in the start, but then started saving up to 23 coins: Connie."

Connie: "I hope I made it."

Odessa: "And finally, the person with the heaviest pockets among your ranks is: Salma, with a whopping 36 coins."

Min Hee: "Let's add it all up: 0 + 5 + 17 + 23 + 36 = a whopping 81 coins, equalling a whopping $81,000 for the Jetsetter's stash! $39,000 goes to the Assassin's."
Odessa: "NOW, there's only one question left to be answered. Who out of you will earn a Clue to the Assassin's identity? I can hereby reveal that that person is..."

Odessa: "... NOT Salma, who only bought one set of -5 points, leaving -5 as her final result."

Salma: "Oh well, I expected it already."

Min Hee: "The winner of the Clue is..."

Min Hee: "... ALSO NOT Hector, who bought twice, a set of 18 and a set of 1 point, totalling it to 19."

Hector: "D'oh, I missed."

Odessa: "The winner of the Clue is..."

Odessa: "... NEITHER HEALTH-E, who bought also bought twice: 11 and 9, which adds up as 20 points."
HEALTH-E: "... That was a bit disappointing."
Min Hee: "Leaving only 2 people unmentioned, I can reveal the winner of the Clue is..."

Min Hee: "DIANE!!"

Diane: "WOOHOO!"

*Diane, ashamed of her sudden, uncontrolled outburst, slaps her hand on her mouth, covering it.*

Min Hee: "Congratulations, you will receive a call from us sometime later today. Buying a set of 16 and a set of 26 earned you a whopping 42 points, the crowning amount of points in the Challenge."

Odessa: "This leaves Connie to be in second place, earning 24 points by buying a hand of 11 and a hand of 13."

Min Hee: "Hereby this Challenge is over. Good luck and lots of wisdom."

Odessa: "You may go now."

*Soap bubbles flow out of Diane's mouth as she speaks*

Diane: "I did it. I won my own Clue. And it was worth it. My dear Assassin, beware of Miss White coming after you and unveiling your identity to the whole wide world. Ta-ta!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Spa Bathroom

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*Connie flushes the toilet. It stucks*

Connie: "Hmm?"

Connie: "Oh, come on!"

*Connie repeatedly flushes the toilet again*

Connie: "I really can't go unclog right now.."

*The toilet flushes properly*

Connie: "Phew.. Thank goodness.."

*Connie hits Salma with the door*

Salma: "Argh Fuck!!"
Connie: "Oh, s- sorry! A- are you okay?"

Salma: "Ugg.., yeah, I'm f- fine.."
Connie: "I'm ever so sorry.."
Salma: "It's alright.."

Connie: "Are you really okay?"
Salma: "Yeah. But sitting down for a sec can't hurt though."
Connie: ".. Phew, okay."

Salma: "I hate it when I bump my body into something, I hate it with a passion. You know, normally I just shout or yell if someone does that. But Connie.. She's just so fragile, she just got the heart in the right place. I bet she hasn't frowned or scowled ever for the past 2 weeks, it's barely possible to get angry at her, or the other way around.. Wonderful in real life, potentially deadly in the game...."

Salma: "Yes.."

Connie: "So... feeling better already?"
Salma: "Of course I do. There are worse things than that."
Connie: "Okay, just asking.."
Salma: "Can I ask you something though?"

Connie: "Okay."
Salma: "Has Diane told you about the Clue already?"

Connie: "Err, no, she hasn't told me yet. She went to the kitchen directly after the Challenge and I haven't seen her since."
Salma: "Interesting. I think she should share it with us eventually, we're in an alliance after all now."
Connie: "Are you sure?"
Salma: "Yes, that's what alliances do, what they are for.."

Connie: ".. You got a point there."
Salma: "I do."
Connie: "Can I ask you something now?"
Salma: "Sure."

Connie: "Do you have any other alliances besides us?"
Salma: "Well, whoa?"
Connie: "Err, any other alliances you have?"

Salma: "Well.. I've had a few."
Connie: "Really?"
Salma: "Yeah.. er, I exchanged my thoughts with.. Blane, and Olive for example. How about you?"

Connie: ".. Not really. I just stood by Diane for the whole game."
Salma: "Not Blane? I know you were really close to him."
Connie: "I know. That was personal though."

Salma: "There's one other personal question I'd like to ask you now."
Connie: "Ohh, yes?"

Salma: "Connie, are you the Assassin?"
Connie: "W- wha?"
Salma: "Are you the Assassin?"

Connie: ".. No.."
Salma: "... Thank you."

Diane: Hmmm...

Captain Dockhatt: Hmmm...

Captain Dockhatt: "G'day, my gal."
Diane: "Hello."
Captain Dockhatt: ".. Nice sunny day now, ain't it?"
Diane: "... I guess so, but.."

Diane: "I'd feel a little better if you'd.. cover yourself a little more."
Captain Dockhatt: "Whad'yer mean? I ain't swimming in my suit."
Diane: "Of course. Could you then at least consider getting a wax?"
Captain Dockhatt: "... What's that waxing yer talking 'bout?"

*Diane rolls her eyes*

Diane: "Waxing, my dear. Ever heard of it?"
Captain Dockhatt: "Nay.

Captain Dockhatt: "Now if ye no mind, I'm gonna go 'n swim."

Diane: "Typical.."

*Splash!*

Captain Dockhatt: "..."

Front Deck

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*The door to the library opens.*

Odessa: "There we go.."

Hector: "Oh.. There you are."

Odessa: "Great. We have to talk."

Hector: "Oh.. what happened?"

Odessa: "Nothing. You'll see...."

Hector: "Hmm.."
Odessa: "Let's go somewhere more private though."
Hector: "Off the boat?"
Odessa: "Yup."

Min Hee: "She's gone."

*Min Hee dials a number*

Min Hee: "It's me, Min Hee."

Min Hee: "I'm hiring you again. Same conditions, like Odessa never fired you in the first place, except Odessa-fire-proof, deal? Okay, bye."

Min Hee: "Odessa.. can be a pain in the ass sometimes, when she's impulsive. And when she acts, the mess she makes needs to be cleaned up, or at least contained. Staff protocol, you know. She'll eventually have to learn though, or else it might find herself in huge trouble one day, and when that day comes she'll be sorry."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sheltered corner of a field

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hector: "Sooo.. what do you need to talk about?"
Odessa: "We have more in common than we think..."

Hector: "How do you mean?"
Odessa: "Well, I've noticed some things the past time..."
Hector: "..."

*Odessa rubs her hip. She's nervously laughing*

Odessa: "Oh God, so awkward, how do I tell this?"
Hector: "Just get- wait a second."

Hector: "Please don't have a crush on me, I'm twice your age."
Odessa: "Whoa?! Eww, no! Of course not!"
Hector: "Oh, sorry.. I was just a bit afraid.."
Odessa: "Ehm, I should just get to the point.."

Hector: "Yes, just say it."
Odessa: "Okay, here goes..."

*Odessa nervously breaths in*

Odessa: "I have killed someone as well."

Hector: ".. What?"
Odessa: "I- I killed Janett Dean a year ago."
Hector: ".. I'm perplexed."
Odessa: "Let me clarify it."

Odessa: "Janett asked me to kill her. Diana framed her and everyone believed her to be guilty."
Hector: "Aha.."
Odessa: "She asked me to kill her, she was willling to die to have the real killer caught instead."

Janett: "Yes, I am sure. Justice must prevail."

Odessa: "... Okay... I'll do it.."

*Suddenly, the wardrobe’s rapidly pushed towards Janett*

Janett: Okay, this is the end…

*The wardrobe touches Janett, while she’s also touching the wall behind her…*

Janett: Too bad I won’t make it, but it’ll be for the greater good: They’ll realize I’m not the killer, so they’ll try looking for the REAL killer…

Janett: “GAH!!!”

*Janett is dead…*

Hector: "That sounds very awful. I'm not sure if I would have done that."
Odessa: "Luckily it turned out being the right thing to do. Or else Diana would've gotten away with it."
Hector: "Yes, it is.. I wish I could say that about what I did to my brother."
Odessa: "I know... but you were drunk, Hector. You didn't really mean what you were doing.."

Hector: "I don't know.. I was pretty mad at him at the time.."
Odessa: "You were unsound-minded."
Hector: "I'm not-"

Odessa: "Stop saying that."

*Odessa attempts to hug Hector*

Hector: "Ho, wait it-"

*Odessa ignores Hector's protests and holds him in her embrace.*

Hector: "..."
Odessa: "You really need it.."

*Hector awkwardly stands idly. He slowly gets more comfortable with the situation and reciprocates the hug.*

Odessa: "Told ya."
Hector: "... You're really fluffy actually."
Odessa: "Just a perk of being a Werewolf."

Odessa: "We still need to show that to the world more. Emancipation & respect process, you know."
Hector: "Haha. Let's get back there, before they start wondering where we are."
Odessa: "Okay. Gotta rewatch Abnormality tonight as well. I really hope Nathan will make it to the Battle Round..."

Cat Room

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*HEALTH-E recharges himself. He suddenly hears a nearby voice talking*

HEALTH-E: "What was that sound?"

*HEALTH-E's sonar receptors are triggered by something. The sound registers as coming from behind the wall facing the front side of the Jetsetter*

HEALTH-E: "I have to find it out."

*HEALTH-E carefully crawls towards the wall and presses his sonar receptors close to it*

HEALTH-E: "I think I am hearing something..."
Cat painting: "Meow."
HEALTH-E: "And there also is a cat here."
???: "I told you that you were stuck behind the pool wall."

Janna: "Ugh, tell me about it."
Jason: "If we could only find a way out.. Without flooding the place and drowning ourselves, that is."
Janna: "I'm just glad that dumbass wacko-robot is far away from here. My butt still hurts after he molestated it."

Jason: "Janna, he couldn't help it. He just takes things literally."
Janna: "Meh."
Roxanne: "Hey yo, what did ya ugly trap say to me?"

Kain: "Roxanne, Y U NO SHADDUP?"
Roxanne: "Your bullcrap's makin' me SICK, shrimpy!"

Olive: "Jochies, doe's effe lief, ga maar niet tijger doen als je poessie bent."
Kain: "Olive, nobody understands that blob you're spitting out!"
Roxanne: "Hey, do NOT insult my friend, gurl!"
Edmund: "Kain does have a point about Olive's speaking qualities though..."

Olive: "Shut up, Edmund!"
Edmund: "How nice of you.. Now if you don't mind, I'm deeply contemplating on how we could improve this place with some Van Allen-"
Olive, Roxanne, Blane, Kain, Jason & Janna: "NOBODY CARES EDMUND!"

Blane: "I'm probably the only sane one left in here. I'll probably have to endure these people for a few more days, but I can handle it, I can feel that."
Edmund: "But seriously guys, aren't you all bothered by the barren emptyness this place has to offer?"
Blane: "Ugh... Fuck this shit, man."

HEALTH-E: "Self-diagnosis complete. This is an upcoming case of 'lunacy'. I should better treat myself accordingly before things will get severe."

*HEALTH-E downloads an update program against the 'lunacy'*

HEALTH-E: "Installation complete. Now to proceed to the next step of the treatment: slumbering into stand-by mode until the next morning."
