The contestants sat at their podiums, chosen names on display at the front, discussing and theorizing about what this last “Physical Challenge” as Tenna calls them may be.. There were so many possibilities, but only time would tell.

“Maybe it’ll be a race?” Ralsei suggested, the goat-darkner tilting his head and tapping his chin.

“Or a fight!” Susie chimed in eagerly, the Dino-like girl punching her hand with her fist, clearly ready for a battle if it was thrown their way.

Kris thought about suggesting a talent competition, but decided to stay quiet, just simply waiting.

The ”Fun-Gang” as they call themselves didn’t have to wait much longer, as Tenna stepped back out from behind the curtains, ready to announce the last challenge, though he seemed a little bit.. off.. his posture was somewhat slouched, and despite his limited facial features, the group could see he looked almost.. Numb? Depressed?

“Dear contestants.. your final Physical Challenge, is to stop me from killing myself.” The TV-headed host announced, his voice distant and distracted compared to his earlier boisterous and charismatic demeanor he’d previously kept.

The contestants were stunned- did he actually just say that?? Was this a joke, or was he actually about to do something stupid??

“What the fuck!?” Susie shouted in confused disbelief, her eyes wide and arms up in an exclamation of shock.

“C-can you even say that on TV?-“ Ralsei stammered, a visibly concerned expression on his face, ears drooped with worry as his hands/paws covered his mouth.

Kris stayed silent, but internally was freaking the hell out- Oh my god, what the hell did he just say??

Tenna stood there, the scenery didn’t change unlike the other “Physical Challenges” that came before, no wacky backdrops or fake-out plots, just- an eerie silence and a hanging sense of dread.. holy shit, he was serious about this-
