"You gonna finish your cake?" Blocky asked Pen, gesturing to the half-eaten slice on the paper plate in front of him. "It's been sitting there for like... ten minutes."
Pen shrugged, handing his plate to Blocky. "Nah, you can take it. I already ate three."
"Three??" Eraser looked at him with his eyes wide, his mouth hanging open with a few smears of frosting around it. "Pin said everybody could only have one!"
"That's when not everyone had gotten a piece yet," Pen answered with a smile. "I waited for everyone to get one and then took a couple more. She let me."
Eraser got up with a start and started jogging away, leaving his plate behind. "I'll be right back!" He calls, leaving the other two boys snickering to each other.
He returns a couple minutes later with another slice of cake and a satisfied grin. "There's still half the cake left. She really went all out, didn't she?"
"She did, and it looks AMAZING." Blocky answers. "I need her to make one for me, one that looks as unassuming as possible. I'm gonna give it to someone and then it's going to EXPLODE."
"Devious plan, as usual. Nothing can be normal for you." Pen observes, making Eraser and Blocky laugh.
Suddenly, Needle pokes through the bushes they're seated beside, catching each of their attention. "Hey, boys, Rull said it's time to come around the HPRC, okay?"
"Oh, alright," Pen says, standing up and helping Eraser up as well. Blocky gets up by himself. "Let's go!"
Needle leads them to the rest of W.O.A.H Bunch, then the whole team heads towards where the rest of the contestants — or, contenders, according to their silly new host — are gathered.
"We have MORE THAN THREE QUESRIONEGS TODAY!" Rull shouts excitedly as soon as everyone arrives, clapping their hands and smiling. "Since there's only three allowed, though, I took it upon myself to choose three from the bunch!"
They start looking through their little pink book, which has appeared in their grasp from thin air, landing on a page that looks like it's near the middle. They let out a delighted squeal, hopping in place a few times. "There's one for me! There's one for me!"
They throw their book down onto the roof of the HPRC, a loud metallic smack sounding sharply in the air. A projection of the quesrioneg expands above them in the air, large enough for everyone to see it.

"I'm METAL!!" They say gleefully, doing a twirl and giggling happily. "I can't believe I had an ask for myself, aaaah!!" A couple objects in the crowd couldn't help but find Rull's stimming a bit cute, cracking small smiles while watching them.
Rull's movements stop abruptly, appearing to be standing completely still with their hands on their hips and a huge grin on, the book gone. "NOW." They hold a hand forward, the little pink book materializing into the air above it and falling into their grasp. "We have two more."
