the red banquet.

a party niki told me she was going to, that only a small group were invited to.

"i don't want to go, i don't trust bad, i have a bad feeling about this"

the banquet was beginning in thirty minutes, as so i was told. i watch from a far as a group stands outside, dressed in lavash red outfits. seems this event had a dress code. niki wore a beautiful long red dress, with gold jewlery. she looked amazing.

more and more people arrive, h, eret, puffy, even george. eventually the event seems to begin, as people pile to the banquet.

i make sure nobody is running late, and sees me, as i am sure i am not on the guest list.

i make my way down, soon met with a bright red room, red vines littering the area. was this decoration?

voices from a far, getting louder as i sneak closer.

i know this isn't a smart idea, i know i'm dead if i'm caught. but i have a bad feeling, niki had a bad feeling. i have to protect her.

everyone sits around a table, bowls of some sort of stew seem to sit infront of them.

they seem to be taking turns, giving some sort of speech. what is this event for? to worship.. the egg? what even is this egg?

"i would just like to say, i appreciate everyone coming" bad announces, as the host. everyone sits around, listening to his speech. he waves his arms around, seeming to talk with his hands.

"y'know, in the spirit of moving things forward, i would just like to say i am very, very happy that we were able to gather everbody here together. for what is, im sure, going to be a banquet, none of us. are ever.. going.. to.. forget" he continues his speech, dragging out the end.

a grin glows over his face. his hood seems to cover most of his face, just revealing his mouth. has anybody even seen him without the hood?

dark and ominous.

next thing i know the bubbling and hissing of lava fills my ears, as lava seems to engulf the room, with me in it. i quickly move away from the lava, as i'm not quick enough, it falls and hits my shoulder before i could move without blowing my cover.

i try to ignore the pain, as my arm stings from the lava. fear fills my thoughts as this was definitely done on purpose.

"thank you for coming everybody!" bad continues, i watch as the group seems oblivious to the lava slowly engulfing them. i just want to scream at them, but that'll blow my cover too.

"and- prepare to die"

"what?!"

the group becomes aware of the lava, panic setting in. "y'know what!?" puffy yells, everybodys attention turning to her.

"i didn't trust you bad- i didn't trust you at all. i didn't trust antfrost. i knew- i knew something was up. unfortunate to say i can't trust either one of you. because- i planned this.." she lifts up the tablecloth covering the table, revealing a chest.

she quickly opens it, her grin falls. "what?"

"we're you- looking for this?" bad yells, holding up pieces of puffys armor. a group stands next to him in a line, all showing off the pieces puffy had planted.

bad, ponk, ant and, hannah?

they reveal their weapons, letting them intimidate the crowd.

what do i do? do i jump down there? i can't, it's a death wish. one vs four isn't a smart idea. i'm outnumbered.
