(⚠️TW for mentions of blood and gore and abuse⚠️)

Fishy bowl tried to reach for her phone, only to find it wasn't close enough.
Not like she cared, she got out of bed, pressing stop on the alarm and frantically searching through her drawers for the medication she needed.
She rushed out of her room, coming to a sliding halt in the kitchen and grabbing a free cup, and impatiently filling it with water.
"Goldie, what in the world?"
"Hi chrysanthemum!"
She grabbed the pills she needed, popping them in her mouth and using the water to swallow them.
"Seriously, what's happening?"
"Job interview, today! For the aquarium."
"Goldie that's... that's great." She smiled softly, walking over.
"Even if i have to wait a little for this, like... after that weird challenge thing... i'm exited."
"Goldie, i can't believe you're actually..."
"It's been three years, and three years is enough time."
She picks up the cat food, kneeling down and pouring it into the bowl, as usual tangerine came and rubbed on her side, letting out small meows.
She gave him a pet on the head and stood back up, looking at the time.
7:59, if course...
"Well, might as well get this over with, i've got a job interview after!"
She portal opened up, and she was once again sucked through.

Butter landed on the grass once more, before getting up and brushing himself off.
Yesterday was interesting, he died, and it definitely hurt.
But he'd been around enough dead bodies to not panic, he was a mortuary cosmetologist after all.
He spotted lilian, waving and walking over.
"Hey dude." She waved back.
"How's it going so far today for you?"
He gave a thumbs up, sitting down by her.
"Well, at least you're happy..."
He tilted his 'head' looking at her.
"Ugh, i have to go to my parents place for my little sister's birthday, and it's just gonna be awkward.
I mean, i can't keep a job, i didn't go to college, and i can barely support myself. I'm just not their proudest accomplishment..." she looks away, sighing.
"I don't know how my other siblings can be so... good at life."
Butter shrugs.
"What about you?" She asked. "Do you have a good life?"
Butter nods yes.
"Ugh, of course...
Well uh, are you single? Not like- I don't wanna date you, you're clearly much older than me just- ugh whatever, do you have a significant other?"
He nods again, holding out one of his hands for her to see the ring on his finger.
"Oh, good for you dude!" She smiles.
"Okay contestants! Gather round!" He teleported them over, well... not including the few that were eliminated.
Which includes lilian...

Shelly grumbled, crossing their arms as facey teleported them over.
"Okay, you guys will be working in teams again! But this time I will be the one to choose them!" Of course, they'd be teamed up with a rando they didn't know.
They liked it when they got to work alone last time, and they solved the escape room rather quickly.
"Okay, i will teleport you to your assigned groups in three... two... one!"
Shelly teleported once more, and standing next to them was the butter one...
Oh... silent type huh? That wasn't too bad, at least he couldn't be talkative.
"Anyways, now that you've been assigned to your groups, today's challenge is uh... hard to explain, bibically accurate angely will take it from here!"
Custos groaned, flying over to an area of the land.
Suddenly the ground began to shake, shelly held onto the grass tightly in terror.
Soon a crack began to form under custos, the crack grew rapidly, before it suddenly opened up. It continued to grow deeper and wider until the ground separated from the other side, making some sort of... gorge? Whatever, a big deep area.
"Just get to the other side, and you can use these."
Custos magicked every group some sort of sketch book and a pen.
"Whatever the mortals draw in it will appear, but it's to size.
Meaning if a mortal draws something, it will be the size they draw it as..."
Shelly walked forward, gazing over the edge of the cliff.
"How deep is this?"
"It goes to the core of this planet..." custos answered, before flying back over to facey with a grumble.
"Core of the-" shelly paused, scrambling away from the edge quickly and going back to stand by butter.
