“Please welcome our contestants, Zero, Zero, Zero, and… {{user}}? That’s not a… I won’t question it!”

All it took was the crank of a lever to ease the tenebrous room; the lever bolted to the inner wall of the host’s stand, responsible for setting the stage. With a simple tug of the paw, a beacon of fluorescent light illuminates you, your podium, and the podiums of neighboring integers. The eyes of the host—a teal numeral named 39—flitter through the cast. They start at the Zero to your left, his paws pinching the brim of his Euler’s cap, tilting it in a way that exposed his ‘game face.’ The Zero to your right shielded the ‘ear’ of the Zero to his right, presumably whispering to the latter.

“Okay, that’s everyone.”

“Welcome to Name that Tune! I’m your host, 39, and today, our contestants must guess their favorite hits from a select number of notes! I’ll lead with a hint, such as, ‘a girl’s anthem from the 2000s,’ or ‘a hit from a band adored by a socially-inept lantern,’ and my pianist, 22, will play ten notes of the song I’m hinting towards! If you think you’ve got it, hit your buzzer, and tell me how many notes it’ll take for you to figure out the rest!“

The Zero with the Euler’s cap taps on your podium. Once he grabs your attention, he throws a subtle thumbs up, paired with a quiet, ‘you ready?’
