(Y/N pov)

"Greetings, children. It's time to play."

I hear the familiar voice saying.
Wait, isn't that the fortune teller machine?? What was his name...
Kar... Char... Charlie? No, not Charlie, what the hell. Karma? Jojo?? KARNAK!

As I open my eyes, my friends are around me. We're in the same position as we were in the ride, but... we're like, in a warehouse? A stage? A stage that looks like a warehouse??
Why is there a fake audience. What is happening??

"Where are we...?"
Constance mutters.

"The twilight zone...!"
Ricky says.

We all look at Ricky.
"What??"
I ask.

"Ricky, sweetie, you can speak???"
Ocean asks, as we start to finally move.

"It certainly appears that way... badass...!"
He answers.
I chuckle to myself. He's so nerdy, it's so funny. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Wait, what?

"Oh... my... God..."
I walk up closer to Ricky.
"You're talking, that's so cool!"
I jump excitedly and hug him. He chuckles a bit.

"I-i-i-i-insert two loonies! KARNAK! He sees the future!"
The weird machine starts to apparently fail? Oh.
This scares the shit out of us.

"Look, what is this? What is happening??"
Ocean asks, walking up to the machine.

"Meet Ocean O'Connell Rosenberg. Catchphrase?"

Ocean then randomly raises her arm and smiles, saying
"Democracy rocks!"
Loudly.

She then suddenly stops and looks at the fortune teller, very confused and scared.

"What the heck was that?"

"Your catchphrase. In the interest of the expedition of time, I've taken the liberty of choreographing a few of your moves in advance. Don't bore us; get to the
chorus. Our time together is limited."

What the actual hell is happening.

I step closer to Karnak and ask
"You said 'play' earlier. What exactly are we playing? Is this a game?"

"Y/N has selected 'game mode'!"

Karnak announces loudly.

"What?? Y/N!!"
Ocean glares at me

I look at her and then to the choir. I don't even know what to say
"I- I didn't mean to! Sorry!-"

"What game??"

"A game with fabulous prizes: Like a stale pack of Menthol Kools."

"A Hello Kitty cupcake!! And this limited-edition Iron Maiden shirt."

A light lights up, showing the shirt and the cupcake in a corner.

"Look, what's going on??"
Ocean asks, annoyed.

"Perhaps you're interested in the grand prize, Ocean!"

"Grand prize?"
I mumble

"One worthy contestant will be brought back to life, to live beyond the Cyclone accident."

"That's wayyyy better than a hello kitty cupcake..."
Constance mutters.

"Meet Constance Blackwood! Catchphrase?"

That one light shines on top of Constance.

"Sorry!"
She says and shrugs before getting to move by herself again.

"Why only one of us, why not all of us?"
Ocean asks.

"Sadly, I've only ever possessed the power to bring one back to life."
Karnak's response makes us all frown.
