Hey remember that one time when I changed my profile picture and name to Prism in the middle of the NCCTs?
That Was Cool.
I'm gonna reread the NCCTs again and just start laughing at some parts, I feel
Janet:
this fuffle can fit so much gender in it
Janet:
but yeah, i guess a big "danger" of very heartfelt long-form stuff is that it can end up reflecting shades of you that you might not even be able to see yet
[Jenny]
Oh yeah.
And I may have an idea to help really get into that
Janet:
a mysterious idea, huh…
Janet:
a mysterious non-specific unstated unspecified idea, huh……
[Jenny]
Yep :)
vivi/vince:
jenny you can’t just bust out the italicized text and smiley faces with no warning im easily scared /j
[Jenny]
Don't worry, I wouldn't bust it out if I didn't have an idea
It might be a little bit before it happens (since a lot is happening rn, and I'm certain you all understand that)
Buuuuuut
The way I see it is these have been in the plans for a long time. Literally a year and a half. And if I've learned anything from the past couple weeks is that you can't just hold things in and try to fine tune em to some kind of perfection. You just gotta let it rip
However it happens will be how it happens. All the time you spend meticulously planning out every detail, you could be using moving forward.
WARNING: Once the tournament is ongoing, that bracket will contain spoilers - to avoid that, use the cast list to see the characters! (The round 1 matches will be placed at the start of round 1.)
[Jenny]
Again, might be a bit before we actually get started on this but
It took me a while to come up with 64 doubles teams that I felt worked. And now I've got them
Bubbly:
KORIONI BUT JUST TWO HEADS LMAO
[Jenny]
Sauerkraut wasn't feeling up for it
Insider2000:
Oh wait, no Cobalt! Unless I'm missing him.
[Jenny]
No Cobalt in this one! We'll be able to communicate with him via Nelson, but he's not fighting in this one. Ooc reason is that Level 9 Kazuya is just too much
(It's okay for Dantoinette to be overpowered though because Girl Power)
J0rt:
oh my god there's FOUR larries in this tournament. Plus Barry and Gary
J0rt:
but no Jerry(?).....
chirp:
i mean jerry's whole schtick is pretending to be other people who's to say he isnt hiding /j
[Jenny]
Ooc I forgot about him! Although I might steal the idea of having him disguised in here somewhere
Bubbly:
how could you forget beloved nonexistent character jerry
[Jenny]
Tbf over the course of NCCT, the word "nonexistent" has kinda lost meaning lmao
chirp:
our dear friend well-established and characterized jerry who has an identity of his own to speak of for sure definitely
[Jenny]
Surely this isn't a character that can be discussed and analyzed through the window of hindsight from someone who just transitioned
Janet:
oh my gosh jerry vs jenny how did we not see this
[Jenny]
Yeah thats how I've been feeling about a lot of Stuff rereading the NCCTs
So be ready for A Lot Of That
Btw I’m working on a Special Surprise. We can get the NCCT started when it’s done.
Prince:
i like how the teams are like. Ships, Parallels/Foils, and This is Funny
[Jenny]
I’m so glad you understand. I very much enjoyed putting the teams together! They all have a reason of some kind that we’ll get into before the tournament proper
There are only two pairs where I’m not entirely sure how I got there, but then again I wrote em in a year and a half ago.
I’ll figure em out. This one’s gonna have a long preamble before the actual tourney (not unlike Majestic)
[Archival Note]
[Two days pass...]
[Jenny]
you ready?
.............:)
So, did you hear the news? :)
Nice to see you too :)
Would you believe me if I said I wanted to apologize? :)
You don't have to forgive me. What I did was wrong :)
We're still working out exactly why I did the things that I did :)
Jenny and I are, that is :)
Finding out the reason why I made you relive your traumas won't stop the pain. I know that it won't, as much as I wish it could :)
I'm sorry that I caused you that pain, Cosmic Love
And I hope that finding that reason can help me make sure I don't hurt others the way I've hurt you
I understand :)
[Jenny]
She's gone now.
[Jenny]
Howdy
Thanks for hearing her out
[Jenny]
Because I believe her.
[Jenny]
If I were in your shoes....well, it's like you said. Whether or not you believe her doesn't matter.
[Jenny]
Yes, she is.
But whether I like it or not, I put myself into these characters.
Often times, I do it without even noticing.
And I learned that you have to love those parts of yourself.
Even the parts you don't like.
[Jenny]
Yyyyyyyyyyup
But you're a part of me, too.
Would be nice to kinda untangle all that
Like I see someone like Prism who is despised because she has a set idea not only for what is to happen, but for who you are, forcing that vision onto others. Even worse for you, since your mother basically did the same thing to you.
[Jenny]
To be fair I don't how deep we'll end up digging. But we dont need to unearth anything deep now. The tournament hasn't even started yet.
Point is: there's still me in there
She spent most of one tournament simply asking why she's doing what she's doing. And she couldn't answer.
She subconsciously created a character to represent her fear of The End.
Likewise I have a history of creating characters that I project abstract concepts of myself onto. I probably did it in the NCCTs a lot without even knowing
[Jenny]
Still untangling that.
Like I said, it's a lot.
Although it's worth mentioning that I dedicated an entire server to you, who feels nothing, all while I was in a bit of a depression.
But there's another answer to your question of why I let her in.
We need to move forward
We can sit around and feel the pain that's been caused, and sometimes it's okay to do that.
But that shouldn't stop us from moving forward
Because I love CPU Kerfuffle.
And I love you.
And I'm not going to let that pain stop us from living life.
[Jenny]
That's fine. I've set things up so that you never have to see her or even acknowledge she exists.
And I'll tell her that you've set this boundary so that she doesn't attempt to reach out to you.
All this to say that I hope you can make it to the tournament. It wouldn't be the same without you.
Because I can do all this reflection stuff on my own if I really need to.
I don't need to be writing any of this.
And yet I write.
Because telling these stories is love.
And to understand you all is to truly love you all.
[Jenny]
Did you....did you just make a pun?
[Jenny]
Well, I gotta go back to watching cooking shows with Red. I'll switch permissions back on
[Archival Note]
[Context: message permissions for the audience had been disabled to avoid interruptions]
[Archival Note]
Before we continue, here are some relevant remarks from discussion shortly after this.
[Jenny]
Also, just while we're completely outside of the NCCT's kayfabe, something that I ought to mention is that due to the nature of how these stories are told and that it's gonna probably get Personal, I'm not gonna be able to give much of an advance notice in terms of content warnings. If I think something REAL heavy is about to be said, I will spoiler tag it and mark it with a cw
The BEST advance warning I can give is that there may be themes of In fact, I might as well rip this Band-aid off now. There's no way I'm getting through this without bringing it up, so I guess a spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen
[Archival Note]
[During a conversation going through unused submissions.]
[Jenny]
ALSO WHILE I WENT THROUGH THIS I THOUGHT OF A TEAM SUBSTITUTION FOR DREAM DOUBLES WILL TALK ABOUT IT AFTER I POST THIS
(i saw a fighter in your list that wasnt repped in tournament, and it made me realize I forgot someone very important, and I already know who I'm swapping out for it)
Okay, so substitution announcement
I don't want you fuckers here, even as a punching bag <3
Canadian Ben Shapiro / Mozilla
Fly Bi / Nightly
CAST LIST:
[Jenny]
I realized Dream Doubles didn't have a single Falco
I had to fix that shit
I MIGHT also rearrange the order a tad before things get started, just to try and keep more impactful meetups from happening too early/maybe even try to make some specific meetups happen? I'm mostly just saying it now so that Janet doesn't make a whole bracket and then have to change it all
[Jenny]
Also I know I've said this publicly a few times, but it really bears repeating. It means so much to me how much you all have shown your love for CPUK and the NCCTs. Whether it be something simple like fanart or character submissions or a grand endeavor (like Janet's archiving of the NCCTs and the whole fuckin DUB of it you guys are doing????), I'm so happy to see that this weird thing I started and the weird thing that grew off of that first weird thing have been able to spread inspiration, passion and love to those around it.
Thank you <3
[Jenny]
Ok one more Serious Post to prelude this
Just to set a Boundary right now, not because I think any of you would go in this direction, but because I want to make sure it's set: Like I mentioned, this is probably going to get pretty personal. But I want to make something entirely 100% clear. You do not know me, and while I enjoy hanging out in this chat and sharing the NCCTs which can get personal, I would not call us friends. I don't mean that in a cold impersonal kind of way as much as a way to keep shit from getting parasocial. If at any point during this, you think "hey, I have a good idea about the direction Jenny ought to take her life" then no you do not! Keep that to yourself! I can guarantee you there are details I am not sharing, and odds are I have thought about what you are planning on suggesting.
We find ourselves somewhere familiar: The Ground. You can't tell much, but you can tell that you're outside
Moss:
Can we talk? Legally?
[Jenny]
Nothings stopping you, but you might not be heard by anyone

Janet:
"it has been a year and three quarters for us"
EpicSuperBat:
"Time isn't real"
Janet:
"time flies when you're having dirt!"
Mako:
"Wait cod that long for us???"
"You can say that again. Crimson said you got sent out only moments before he did, and yet it seems like you guys weren't here when I checked an hour ago"
Mako:
"Damn,,,,"
"A year and three quarters???"
"You're right. Time dilation is weird"
Brush:
"we were having sooo much fun burrowing in the dirt"
Wonder:
"we are a very sleepy nelson"

"I can't think of any other explanation for why some of these guys are here"
Brendle:
"ah. so things are exceedingly normal"
Janet:
"gotta be a dream if we've met the one and only recon riley, that's too good not to be"
Wonder:
"well... they could have some way of coming to reality"
Wonder:
"i dunno"
Brendle:
"the normalest things could ever be, in fact"
"But someone asked how I was doin. I'm doin alright. Pretty hyped with the big news"
Wonder:

Bubbly:
"we never know anything"
Moss:
"Another tournament?"
Janet:
"we know many things"
"Oh, I guess that makes sense, you've been in a portal....or something....this shit's weird"
Janet:
"some things we do know, some we don't"
Janet:

Prince:
" 😔 "
Moss:
"What if its medium news for us? And not big news"
Janet:
"we don't know if we know the big news! we might know it, but if we do we don't know it's the big news you mean"
Greenshi:
"our knowledge is incomplete"
Brush:
"i mean we know Some things. you'll have to elaborate before we say if we know it already"
EpicSuperBat:
"Knowledge of Big the cat is more important"
Prince:
"big news or bing news"
Janet:
"we know so much about big the cat"
Greenshi:
"what if there was bigger news we didnt know of."
Janet:
"and bing the non cat"
"Well, I think Iggy would want to be the one to tell you"

"unless bing is a cat now"

Meme:
"He should be a cat tbh"
Kate Daylights
"bing could be a cat if we tried hard enough"

"disc could turn him into a cat"
Brendle:
"kinky"

"good for her"
J0rt:
"putting cat ears on him."

"in ways that are probably not safe for work"
Moss:
"Your honor
Put cat ears on him"
Greenshi:
"i think becoming a cat would fix bing. or at least do something to bing"
Greenshi:
"its worth a shot"
Janet:
"becoming a cat would do something to most people"
Janet:
"except catboy cloud"

"ANYWAYS NEWS"

"Oh yeah Iggy did you know they made a Switch 2?"
Wonder:
"did dani and crimson get married? /j"
Moss:
"Splatoon spin off
New SPLATOON iggy"
"So last thing we remember, Prism made a brand new universe, filled with new life. Unfortunately for all that life, the universe was unstable."
"That and she put some guy called The End in there, like, subconsciously"
"You see, it's because Jenny believed that CPU Kerfuffle is over. The streams were fun, but she was outta steam and couldn't keep them going"
"But the thing is she still really liked us. Which is what led to these NCCTs"
"But even through that, Jenny....well at the time, Ryan....knew that the wheels couldn't be spun forever."
"He thought this was a dead project, but still wanted to give it a proper sendoff"
"So through Prism or some meta bullshit, The End came about"
"And that was the idea."
"Ryan had ended CPU Kerfuffle. Along with the NCCTs"
"But we're in luck"
"Ryan's not here anymore"
[Jenny]
Hellll yeah
"But I'm getting ahead of myself"
"So at the end of Majestic Kerfuffle, Crimson and Prism and the gang all pulled their big hero moment and saved everyone from the crumbling universe that Prism made"
"Yes, even Midas. I'll get to that"
"Everyone got spat out in the Stadium. Including, like, an alternate universe version of my brother"
"And quick side tangent"
"This dude is such a type A. Keeps on trying to do all the tournament planning, when it's MY job"
Ludwig: "I heard that"
"WELL THEN REMEMBER IT THIS TIME"
"ANYWAY"
"We didn't really know what happened to Prism or the End, although I have a pretty good idea....dramatic bitch"
"Last we saw them, Prism was fighting the end long enough to let everyone escape"
"So begrudgingly.....thank you Prism."
"Anyway"
"We had a bunch of people in one place....obviously my first thought is to send em through a bloodsports tournament"
Brush:
"naturally!"
Bubbly:
"obviously"
chirp:
"Of course!"
"You all understand me"
Mako:
"As you do"
Greenshi:
"thats what we do here of course"
EpicSuperBat:
"As it should be"
Moss:
"What other option is there?"

"it would only be polite"

"I missed that funny froggy- oh??"
Bubbly:
"The Big News"
Brendle:
"oh?"
EpicSuperBat:
"!givevalakiss"
Moss:
"Whats the big news we've heard so much about"
Janet:
"riley was being so mysterious about this"
"Oh YES! Incredibly exciting"
Mako:
"They're announcing CPUK 2"
Mako:
"World Premiere"
EpicSuperBat:
"Big the cat is here, we heard"
Moss:
"Cpu k . . . TWO"
"Yeah, uh, Ludwig, can you go get me a glass of water?""
Bubbly:
"CPUK 2 no way."
Greenshi:
"woter"
Ludwig: "Are you trying to keep some sort of secret from me?"
Raven:
"CPUK, Switch 2 Edition"
"Yes"
"Now go get that water"
Janet:
"with ice or sans ice?"
Wonder:
"and get us some mashed potatoes too"
Janet:
"🥔"
Brush:
"all we've had to eat is Dirt"
Moss:
"Potatoe please"
Mako:
"The people yearn for mashed potato"
Greenshi:
"put us in the water like those capsules that turn into dinosaur sponges"
Bubbly:
"we're so hungry"
"Okay, I had to get him away, just because I don't know how much he knows about the whole nature of reality thing"
"And you can't, like, bring that up in casual conversation"
Janet:
"we don't know what we'll transform into if soggy and we're so excited"
Raven:
"Oh true, valid"
Wonder:
"well, he kinda saw his world fall apart so"
Moss:
"Not with that attitude"
Greenshi:
"why not (/joking)"
Wonder:
"probably decently aware of it"
Kate Daylights
"probably not no"
Mako:
"Yeah, been there"
Bubbly:
"we have loose lips but we'll try"
"Like, yeah I was at work last week and my coworker was a jerk, anyway did you know everything's fake?"
Janet:
"we're usually good at not revealing that"
Wonder:
"also everything about ned"
Brush:
"we've been good about it since dani"
"Anyhow"
"I talked with Jenny, and this NCCT is a bit special"
"You see, as it stands right now, CPU Kerfuffle is in a weird place"
"To you guys, Prism got punched in the face, what, 3 years ago?"
"And that was it?"
Wonder:
"give or take"
Greenshi:
"3 and a half but continue"
"How do you just return from that?"
"After so damn long"
Raven:
"Well, she got tied to a chair and took a nap but yeah, basically it"
EpicSuperBat:
"Punch her again?"
Janet:
"with aplomb, i think"
Wonder:
"well, you kinda just. do it."
Prince:
"You do it I think"
Wonder:
"nevermind all that and whatnot"
Moss:
"Oh ya know"
Prince:
"Yeah what wonder said"
"Yeah, yeah I know what you mean. Just Do It"
"But like, there's logistics"
Wonder:
"what's stopping anyone?"
Wonder:
"as jenny would say"
"That's true, she did say that a few hundred times"
Prince:
"Yeah logistics are a nightmare sometimes"
Janet:
"she's always saying this"
"But at this rate, we've got all kinds of crazy plot threads going on interchangeably"
Brendle:
"yeah, if CPUK streams were to start up again, you can't exactly not address the long hiatus somehow. with it being this long"
Brendle:
"even if it's in an offhanded sorta way"
Janet:
"it'd be so funny not to address it"
"And if it came back after so long, with a bunch of new people watching, it'll be like 'okay so I expected a tournament, why are they talking about some chick tied up in a chair?'"
Bubbly:
"it Would be so funny"
Greenshi:
"survival of the fittest."
Moss:
"Skill issues/j/j"
Ludwig: "Got your water, Iggy! What did they think about the news of the reboot?"
Mako:
"Listen I joined in at 22 and I didn't know Shit about the cods"
Wonder:
"could also start another show somewhere else and slowly ease in on the classics-"
EpicSuperBat:
"Tell em to "git gud" as they say"
Wonder:
"ah."
Greenshi:
"REBOOT"
"...I hadn't told them yet, Ludwig...."
Mako:
"A"
Wonder:
"right, another reboot"
Moss:
"AH"
Janet:
"wow he's fast! and oh!!!!!!"
Bubbly:
"ah !"
Moss:
"We're going to scream into your ears now"
Prince:
"REBOOT.... 2!"
Raven:
"Someone make a lore summary video or something"
Brush:
"yippeeee! now get us in that water"
Wonder:
"to be perfectly honest, you guys did do this after grunk"
chirp:
"Wouldn't be the first time the show went on hiatus only to come back with a loose explanation of what happened in the interim, a bit of wrap up and then carrying on our merry way- ah!"
Greenshi:
"CPUK REMASTERED EDITION"
Wonder:
"should've been obvious to us lmao"
Meme:
"Reboot? Oh boy!"
Mako:

J0rt:
"oh? growth?"
EpicSuperBat:
"O"
Dani: "They aren't beating me twice though"
Janet:
"heck yeah"
Brush:
"you've got johannsen tho, and everyone knows the rat wins"
Wonder:
"well, we'll just have to wait and see"
Greenshi:
"go get 'em!"
chirp:
"Good for her!"
Raven:
"WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU"
"But what about the Majestic contestants?"
Janet:
"what's a cute thing johannsen's done recently?"
Moss:
"What is johansons favorite show"
Dani: "The what? Oh those guys from the portal?"
Dani: "Come on"
"I don't know Dani, there were some monsters in that bracket. You should've seen Sweepmaster's run. And Midas? Doesn't seem like someone you should be looking down on"
Wonder:
"yeah, sweepmaster beat your brother"
Brendle:
"OK but Johannsen kicks their asses every day of the week, is the thing"
Brendle:
"It's simple math"
Dani: "Good thing I'm good at fighting monsters then"
Raven:
"Ayyy there she is"
chirp:
"And theres also..... not a majestic participant but does she know what the deal is with the. Other dani?"
"Hahaha! There's the Dantoinette I know! Another question from Nelson: Why Johannsen? There are hundreds of other fighters. What made you choose your pet rat?"
Dani: "Honestly?"
EpicSuperBat:
"She has a rat, therefore she's stronger than other dani"
Raven:
"Dani is gonna be such great friends with Disc"
Dani: "When they announced it was gonna be doubles, you can imagine how many people wanted to pair up with me"
Dani: "But it pissed me off"
Dani: "No one wanted to team up with Johannsen"
Greenshi:
"FUCKED UP!!"
Moss:
"Evil"
vivi/vince:

EpicSuperBat:
"HOW DARE THEY"
Raven:
"HE KICKS ASS THO"
Brendle:
"god I want her woah who said that"
chirp:
"AUGH, THE GALL!"
Dani: "Like, ex-champion Johannsen, and he's just getting ignored?"
Brendle:
"THE FUCKING INJUSTICE"
Bubbly:
"absolutley not."
vivi/vince:
“they forgot The Rat Won”
Mako:
"The nerve of some people"
Dani: "So I turned down every team offer I got. They need to learn what Johannsen's got cookin"
Brendle:
"How quickly the world forgot that The Rat Won, apparently"
EpicSuperBat:
"Give the rat a kiss! now!"
Bubbly:
"HELL YEAH"
Janet:
"speaking of champions, do you remember taako?"
Greenshi:
"THE RAT WON AND THE RAT WILL WIN AGAIN!!!"
"Alright, and another question: What is something cute Johannsen has done recently?"
Dani: "Ohhh my god, he brought me some wires recently, which I used to make a little makeshift jacket for him"
Greenshi:
"AWAUAW!"
Mako:
"AWWWW"
Janet:
"oh my gosh he has a jacket!?"
"Out of wires? Does it keep him warm?"
Dani: "Absolutely not"
Brendle:
"JOHANNSEN JACKET"
"Does he look good in it?"
Wonder:
"it makes him stronger"
Janet:
"does it keep him cool?"
Dani: "I dunno, I'm not the fashion expert"
Brendle:
"FAN ART NOW"
Greenshi:
"we cant see him but I bet he looks cute as hell"
Iggy: "WAIT DID SHE SAY WIRES????"
Iggy: "IS THAT WHY THE DISPLAY OVER IN GREEN ROOM B WASNT WORKING?????"
Raven:
"We love him and his little jacket!"
Wonder:
"lol"
Bubbly:
"OH NO"

EpicSuperBat:
"He's a good boy"
Mako:
"Skill issue"
Raven:
"Rat crimes"
Moss:
Green rooms hate the cpu k cast
Dani: "Hey, watch your tone, Iggy! You're talking to a pair of champions here"
Janet:
"he's allowed to do this"
Brendle:
"If Johannsen stole from you, you probably deserved it tbh"
EpicSuperBat:
"Give all possessions to rat!"
Brendle:
"Everything this rodent does is justified by the narrative itself"
vivi/vince:
“forfeit all possessions to johannsen”
"Well this has been a lovely interview, and you know I could talk to you for hours, but I have a lot more interviews to get through!"
Raven:
"Bye Dani, bye Johansson!"
Moss:
"Bye bye!"
Dani: "No problem! See you at the winner's podium! And get that hedgehog a bowtie"
Brendle:
"Wait no let us talk to Dantoinette for hours"
Janet:
"bye you two!"
vivi/vince:
“bye!!!!”
EpicSuperBat:
"!giveratakiss"
Raven:
"BOWTIE FOR NELSON"
"Alright, we'll try and get someone to handle that real quick"
Greenshi:
"BOWTIE PLEAKS"
"Also, now that she's gone, what was the thing she didn't want you to ask?"
Moss:
"HM WELL"
Bubbly:
"um."
Wonder:
"making out with crimson"
Prince:
"oh you know"
"She what?"
Greenshi:
"no"
Wonder:
"larry started it"
Janet:
"brush do you have the evidence"
Greenshi:
"she can hear us probably still"
Bubbly:
"its totally real"
Brush:
"one sec"
"Larry was involved in the session too??"
Moss:
"Slamming it on the table same way connor does in detroit become human"
Wonder:
"..."
Wonder:
"HE IS NOW"
EpicSuperBat:
"They were in the vents, like among us"
Raven:
"Involved is an understatement"
Janet:
"this may or may not have been a prank by larry, i'll never tell"
Greenshi:
"val youre about to become the exabition match if you dont stop asking questions"
J0rt:
"Larry started a rumor MULITPLE DREAMS AGO that Dani and Crimson made out and we've refused to let it die"
Moss:
"schrodingers prank"
Brush:
"THE EVIDENCE"
A sketched out 3-panel comic featuring Crimson and Dani.
Panel 1: Crimson, lying with his back on something, says "party rockers in the house". Dani responds with folded arms, "it's "party rock is"."
Panel 2: Crimson and Dani look at each other, blushing.
Panel 3: Crimson and Dani kiss passionately, fireworks in the background, with a little Peppermint imagining all this in the corner.
"Haha, well that does sound quite charming"
Bubbly:
"THERE WE GO"
Janet:
"THE EVIDENCE"
Moss:
"Your HONOR
CONSIDER THE EVIDENCE"
EpicSuperBat:
"Indisputable proof right there!"
Janet:
"ironclad evidence"
J0rt:
"You understand Val"
"Alright, coming up next!"
Brush:
"yes we do have other interviews to get to"
Brush:
"which by my calculations will take..... idk, like 32 hours to get through? at this pace?"
Bubbly:
"worth it"
Moss:
"Speed run speed run"
"Oh lord...well, hopefully Dani was just long because she's Dani"
EpicSuperBat:
"Time is an illusion"
Janet:
"64t where t is the average time per pair of contestants"
Bubbly:
"shes
Dani"
"Two fighters who have worked behind the scenes to help these lovely tournaments run smoothly, but now they're ready to hop in and show us what they're made of: Give it up for Recon Riley and Sax Jack!"
Wonder:
"the first interview segment to take multiple days /j/j/j"
Janet:
"!applaud !cheer"
Bubbly:
"WOOOOOOO"
J0rt:
"YAY RILEY"
Moss:
"Val do you hear the clapping? I forget"
Prince:
"RILEYYYYYYYY"
Moss:
"JACK"
Raven:
"RILEY AND SAX MAN"
Recon Riley: "Hello again, Nelson"
Sax Jack: "Heyyyy! What's goin on?"
chirp:
"🎉"
Greenshi:
"RILEY AND SAX!!!"
Moss:
"Jack have you picked up other instruments?"
"Greetings Riley! Greetings Jack!"
Janet:
"do they know we love them?"
EpicSuperBat:
"!selfdestruct"
Greenshi:
"Riley tell us your life story"
"Now before we take Nelson questions, one thing I must ask, since you two are working on the inside, so to speak"
"There's one entry labelled '???/???'. Any clues as to who that might be?"
Riley: "Iggy told us that he didn't want it to be revealed until the interview."
Jack: "I mean, like, we know what's up....at least we think we do...."
Riley: "Yes, we do 'know what's up' Jack, but we are not to reveal it"
Jack: "I mean it's kinda obvious"
Riley: "That is not important, Jack. We are not to reveal it"
Jack: "Alright, alright, geez!"
"Well, let's see...ah! Jack, have you picked up any other instruments?"
Prince:
"riley do you know how mr. undertale eats now"
J0rt:
"I do have a question for Riley. Is Iggy any better of a boss than Doctor Order"
Jack: "You know the drums that you sit on? It's like a box. Really cool!"
Greenshi:
"oooooo!"
Moss:
"Ohhhhhh"
EpicSuperBat:
"Huh, cool"
Raven:
"I've seen those before but never knew the name!"
"Wonderful seeing some musical growth!"
Wonder:
"caj jack"
"So for Riley, Is Iggy any better of a boss than Doctor Order?"
Moss:
"Favorite bands?"
Riley: _"Very much so. He's temperamental in nature, but I suppose Order was as well. I simply enjoy using my talents to keep an eye on the world around me. To see how it exists from moment to moment. How it changes. What leads to such change. To see how others live within it."
Riley: _"It fascinates me how things will always change. So I observe to see those changes"
Riley: _"It matters not who I answer to"
"Very insightful!" Unfortunately we have to keep these interviews going! Best of luck!"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
"So, first question for the team! Are you two still officially affiliated with Team Aqua?"

Moss:
"STICKERS"
vivi/vince:
“awwwww”

"oh my gosh can we have a sticker?"
Greenshi:
"can we have one????"
Janet:
"we like stickers"
EpicSuperBat:
"Aww"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "IT IS TRUE!!! WE HAVE STICKERS WHICH WE CAN USE TO SIGNAL OUR ALLEGIANCE!"
Bubbly:
"we need another sticker"
Greenshi:
"we're starting a collection!"
Moss:
"Bow tie? Sticker? Both"
Wonder:
"what're your thoughts on the girl dressed like a magma grunt?"
"Nelson here is wondering if they can have one"
Seachu: "Of course!!!!"
Moss:
"Hows the marrige going toj, any fun stories?"

Mako:
"Fuckin awesome"
Greenshi:
"YEAAAAAAAH"
Janet:
"this is so good"
Meme:
"Do you think if we get enough stickers we unlock the true ending to CPUK where they reveal that Golden Spiral was secretly Spectrum the whole time?"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY SLIMMING UPON YOU EXCEPT IT DOESNT BECAUSE STICKERS CANNOT SLIM A CERAMIC HEDGEHOG HOWEVER IT MAKES YOU LOOK VERY WONDERFUL"
vivi/vince:
“much appreciated”
Bubbly:
"YAAAYYY"
Greenshi:
"WOULDNT WANNA LOOK SLIM ANYWAY MY GOOD GENDERFLUID"
Janet:
"it makes you look wonderful too except we can't see but we know it in our hearts!"
Raven:
"How fairs the law firm, TOJ?"
Janet:
"we are perfectly rotund"
"Well, speaking of Team Aqua, someone in the Nelson is asking if you've seen the girl who looks like a Team Magma Grunt"
Seachu: "Oh, the Disc girl? Yeah!!! She's funny!"
EpicSuperBat:
"!absorbs the gender fluid"
Seachu: "She asked me where I would live if Team Aqua ever flooded the world"
"......and.......?"
Seachu: "And what? ^^"
Janet:
"actually, where do you live right now in this unflooded world?"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "HER DISTRACTIONS FROM JUUUUUUSTIIIIIIIIICE ARE NOTHING BUT THAT! MEAGER DISTRACTIONS THAT ATTEMPT TO DISTRACT US HOWEVER WE WILL NOT BE DISTRACTED FROM JUSTIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!"
"That's why I've always liked you, Taylor. You always know what's on your mind"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "YES!!!!"
Greenshi:
"damn val on a first name basis with toj?"
"To you, Trainer of Justice, how is your work in the law firm going?"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "Phenomenally!"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "We have justiced some people, according to Miles!"
Janet:
"im so glad"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "He told me that they are justicing people at a maximum capacity!!!"
Greenshi:
"get justice'd"
Bubbly:
"is that. is that good?"
Moss:
"Justice speedruns 99%"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "And then he told me to go find Some Justice Thing To Do"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "And not to come back until I have found 'The True Super Spirit of Justice Or Whatever Just Can You Leave Now I Have Far Too Much Paperwork To Deal With This Buffoonery'"
Wonder:
“it’s on the 3DS”
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "An absurdly long name for what is truly the greatest prize!"
Wonder:
“or in the apollo justice trilogy”
"When did he ask you to do this?"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "Time means nothing in the eyes of JUSTICE"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "However this was a year ago"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "AND I WILL NOT RETURN EMPTYHANDED!!!!!!"
EpicSuperBat:
"..."
Bubbly:
"incredible."
Greenshi:
"TOJ are you still getting paid. were you ever getting paid for this"
Janet:
"do you perceive time as we do? did you feel the full length of time between last week and today?"
Moss:
"Are you getting paid for your incredible search?"
"Nelson REALLY wants to know....are you getting paid for this?"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "MONEY IS IMMATERIAL! IT ACTS AS NOTHING BUT A FANCY SHEET OF PAPER THAT YOU CANT EVEN WRITE NOTES UPON (AS IT IS NOT LINED) WHEN COMPARED TO THE SHINING SOUL OF JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"So that's a no?"
Janet:
"did you know? you can exchange money for stickers!"
Bubbly:
"fascinating"
chirp:
"But you can buy potions with it. Or africa by toto."
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "QUITE THE CONTRARY! HE SENDS ME CHECKS WITH NOTES TELLING ME NOT TO COME BACK UNTIL IVE FOUND 'THAT SUPER LEGEND SPIRIT OF JUSTICE OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU CALLED IT'"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "A TREASUE THAT CHANGES ITS NAME! ALLURING AS JUSTICE ITSELF"
Greenshi:
"TOJ just curious whats youre uh. living situation. all well?"
Moss:
"Is matrimony knight helping with this journey?"
"Unfortunately that's all the time we have for now!"
"May your quest for justice continue onward!"
TRAINER OF JUSTICE: "MMMMMMMMMMYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS"
Seachu: "YAY"
Bubbly:
"MMMMYES"
Moss:
"YES"
"Wonderful"
"Whew...we're going to be here for quite a while."
"No problem! I'm having a great time!"
"Coming up next! A woman who's got her finger on the pulse of what's happening...so long as that pulse can lead her to the eldritch love of her life, teaming up with a mysterious experiment from another dimension. Give it up for Peppermint and Experiment 12965!"
Moss:
"👏 "
Mako:
"… Woo?"
Greenshi:
"YIPPEE!!!"
EpicSuperBat:
"WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ "
Peppermint: "Hiiiiiiiiiiii!"
Moss:
"YEAHHHH"
Bubbly:
"yippee !"
Greenshi:
"TIME FOR NORMAL!"
Wonder:
“hi. pep.”
"Hello Peppermint! How are you doing today?"
EpicSuperBat:
"PEPPERMINT! I LOVE YOU!"
Peppermint: "Oh, I'm doing lovely!! We managed to make it all back safely, and now I'm ready to get back in the fray!"
Peppermint: "Hoping to meet Crimson in bracket <3"
Moss:
"Have either of you seen bad Cinderella"
Greenshi:
"Hey Peps, why are you teamed with this funny fella? They seem cool, but whats the connection here?"
Wonder:
“they’re perfect headcanon material”
Greenshi:
"this is true"
"Unsurprising, but good to see that you're still going!"
"Now, Peppermint, this is quite the interesting choice in doubles partner."
"Why have you decided to go with....what looks to be a reanimated corpse of some kind?"
Peppermint: "Well, I was taking a look at this guy, and I couldn't help but feel like he was familiar in some kind of way"
Wonder:
“…what?”
Greenshi:
"oh????"
Bubbly:
"huh."
EpicSuperBat:
"HUH"
Raven:
"(Sweats)"
Peppermint: "Like, I knew that he looked a lot like My Grunk, but there was something else to it"
Mako:
"The theory,,,"
Moss:
"What did she mean by this"
Wonder:
“what do you mean by that.”
Raven:
"Chat, she Knows"
EpicSuperBat:
"My wife is so smart"
Peppermint: "So I watched over the tapes of CPU Kerfuffle again. This was pre-Crimson, so it was kinda the cringe era, but I knew I recognized it"
Peppermint: "I think this is Light Pit"
Raven:
"RUDE"
Bubbly:
"HELLO"
Brush:
"lmao"
Greenshi:
"YEAH?"
Moss:
"HEY WAIT A MINUETE"
Bubbly:
"you cant just say that."
"Light Pit? The fighter who was killed all the way back in the second episode?"
Raven:
"SON BOY, BABY CHILD, HE DESERVES SO MUCH"
Brush:
"#real #confirmed"
Greenshi:
"wow thats crazyyyyyyy"
Prince:
"holy shit whoaaa"
Meme:
"GRUNK PIT REAL FOREVER CONFIRMED CANON REAL"
Peppermint: "I can't confirm it, but I mean look at him! Don't you see the resemblance?"
Meme:
"IGNORE THE NC PART OF THE TITLE THIS ONE TIME IT DOESN'T COUNT"
Wonder:
“we can’t see anything”
Raven:
"OF COURSE I SEE, HE'S MY SON"
"....I'm....I mean they're around a similar age, and the hairstyle's the same."
Greenshi:
"yknow, I never wouldve considered it until now"
"But let's follow this line of logic"
"How did you find him in another universe?"
Wonder:
“well… in her defense, kinda… some CPUK submissions where over there”
Peppermint: "Well, that's just it. Prism made the world that he comes from....so maybe Prism had a soft spot for him? I'm still figuring it all out"
EpicSuperBat:
"She is the god of time. Reality is weird for her"
chirp:
"Val can you describe for me how 12965 is reacting to peppermint openly speculating about his identity. You don't have to say anything to her i just want to know."
"Nelson asked how 12965 is reacting to this....12965?"
"any family members? last time we asked this question prism interrupted you, so..."
Wonder:
"...actually, that also reminds me. pep and prism were friends kinda, right? how's she feeling about that right now?"
"Nelson wants to know how you're feeling about Prism and that whole situation, since the two of you were friends"
Peppermint: "Oh yeah! I know I've gained...an interesting sort of perspective on Prism lately."
Greenshi:
"oh?"
Peppermint: "At first I saw her as a babysitter that was just meant to keep Crimson and the other two in line, keeping true to their roles as gods"
Peppermint: "But I've been thinking more and more, especially as I write more fanfiction myself."
Peppermint: "She once told me that she has to follow Spectrum's will, whatever that may be"
Peppermint: "And sometimes that puts her at odds with everyone else"
Peppermint: "I believe Spectrum made her do the things she did."
Peppermint: "Does this mean she isn't responsible? Absolutely not!"
Peppermint: "You don't get a pass because you were just following orders"
Peppermint: "But there is a sort of tragedy to it. Like, what are you supposed to do?"
Bubbly:
"an interesting perspective"
Peppermint: "But she was the villain of these last NCCTs"
Peppermint: "And she spurred the situation that cause the Majestic Kerfuffle"
Peppermint: "Sometimes you need a villain to move the story forward"
Peppermint: "And she seemed happy to be that for Spectrum"
Peppermint: "Even as it was dying"
Peppermint: "But apparently Spectrum's back. And it's different now!"
Peppermint: "She showed me! Still a mess of colors, but a lot less blues, and a lot more reds"
Janet:
"reddy for what comes next c:"
N!Jenny:
"What do you think the existence of Crimson says about Spectrum?"
"What do you think the existence of Crimson says about Spectrum?"
Peppermint: "Well, I can't say I know much about Spectrum, but it feels like Crimson had a label placed on him. A label of being the bad guy. Not unlike Prism (in fact I wonder if that was cyclical in some way). And instead of putting on a face, he really just leaned into it. And he genuinely is a good guy!! So maybe it's just a sort of universal truth that labels can't define us. And sometimes when you put a label on someone, instead of resisting it, they might just accept it. Taking the path of least resistance"
Peppermint: "Not because they want to. But because they can't be bothered to stand up against it"
Peppermint: "Or maybe in Prism's case, because of a sense of obligation"
Peppermint: "Plus, talking about Spectrum is hard."
Peppermint: "I think Crimson existing means that Spectrum (whatever it is) has really really really nice taste"
"I personally beg to differ"
Peppermint: "That's fine. You're wrong, but it's fine"
Janet:
"speaking of taste, what's your favourite food?"
EpicSuperBat:
"Then beg"
Moss:
"Did we get the bowtie?"
"He took over my life, Peppermint"
Peppermint: "No need to brag!!"
"Okay, let's move on to the next contestant"
Raven:
"Yeah, Val's under no obligation to ever forgive Crimson"
EpicSuperBat:
"No! Ask her to marry me!"
Greenshi:
"You still having fun Val"
[Jenny]
I might actually call it for the night!! We only got through 4 interviews, but we also had the whole prelude.
This interview section's gonna be longer than I thought lmao
Iggy Koopa sat in his Clown Cart, staring over the CPU Kerfuffle Arena. He watched as the seats filled, interviews being broadcast to those sitting in the stands. Sometimes Iggy wondered how real they were. After all, they were in a dream…..
……Right?
A week. They’d been preparing this tourament for over a week. Dreams don’t last that long. And if they did, they’d spiral into insanity, well at least more than your average CPU Kerfuffle exerience.
But it was still a dream, because, like, Larry is here. He’s not possessed by Crimson. Also Larry is here. Also Larry is here. There were people here that couldn’t be here. He’ll wake up at some point and deal with this whole Prism situation, maybe find out why Cobalt’s been so moody, see how we can fix the whole thing with Folk fading away from time, Peppermint being a god, there was a lot they had to take care of.
…..Right?
These thoughts had been on Iggy’s mind a long time. And while he’d already crossed a great threshold some time ago, these differing levels of reality were always difficult to adjust to.
It made him frustrated. Shit, everything made him frustrated. The little bastard always had a real short fuse. It made him kind of endearing, like a cranky old man. He just found himself getting frustrated all the time, possibly for that reason. Making him mad’s kinda fun, but he knows it’s out of love. That doesn’t make it any less funny. What’s even funnier is that I gave him the ability to read The Script, so he’s probably fuming right-
“Ludwig!!!!” Iggy shouted, kinda proving my point. “WATER! NOW!” Okay, REALLY proving my point.
“Good Lord! Manners, Iggy?” Ludwig insisted, clearly feeling a little put off by the sudden aggression.
………….
Iggy’s fist clenched for a moment before taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out. “Ludwig, I…need some time alone….please…”
There was a brief pause before a sudden warmth came from the voice of his brother from an another universe. “Of course, Iggy…Be kind to yourself.”
Iggy and I laughed silently to ourselves as he left.
So…you wanted to see me?
“How could you even tell?”
I wanted to write about you.
Iggy landed his clown cart and hopped out, before taking a seat, leaning back against his car. “What’s about to happen is…it’s a lot.”
You’re telling me. (edited)
“Teling”
Fuck off
“I mean more than just you, Jenny. I get that we all have some of you in us, but I went to go get lunch with Squid Jenny yesterday.”
How was it?
“Terrible, the guy burned my burger, but that’s besides the point. Or maybe that IS part of the point. I’ve got a lot of emotions about all this. Point is that I live here. And you don’t. And I can’t make you do what I want. But the least I can do is talk to you about all this self-discovery stuff. Because I run this this boat. You might be the wind that pushes us forward, but I run the tourney! You got it?”
Loud and clear! It makes sense you’d have questions about all this. Running a tourney is tough. Checking in, escorting people to the green room, managing interviews, tech, you guys are the real heroes, genuinely. There’s lots of logistics to work through, and if you’re out in the ocean, knowing where the wind is gonna blow ahead of time is huge when you’re planning your course.
“Alright first question, and it’s a big one. Is everyone just….gonna forget?”
That is a huge question. We’re gonna figure it out as we go.
“FUCK YOU MEAN WE’RE GONN-“
HEAR ME OUT!
Right now, the way I kinda envision it is that people will be sort of the idealized version of themselves in the story. If they want they can remember everything (save for some of the more meta stuff). If they want, then we can just pretend some stuff never happened.
“That seems like it’ll be complicated and full of retcons”
Ye!
“And it makes it so that there aren’t really any consequences to anyone’s actions”
Uh huh!
“What kind of message does that give?”
How about a message that you can forgive yourself?
“And what will happen if their backstories don’t line up?”
It’s a new contiuity, their backstories aren’t super important
“IT’S IMPORTANT TO ME, JENNY!”
…yeah, not what I meant, I did’t mean to give off that impression. My apologies.
What I meant to say is that we don’t need to bring up clashing backstory points. There’s probably plenty of clashing continuity here and we get along fine.
It’s like that shit in Shitty British Wizard Child Number 6
“You don’t have to call it that”
But I want to <3
Anyway we don’t need a whole scene going like “oh and the reason time travel isnt a thing anymore is because while they were reading prophecies the clumsy one like broke them all” or something like that
“That was in the fifth book”
Lmao Harry Potter Fan
“FUCK!”
“…so if everyone gets to be their best selves, why is Doctor Order here?”
If I wanted a bunch of friends just shooting the shit I’d watch Chiikawa
“You haven’t finished Chiikawa”
How bad could it possibly get?
“You oughta screenshot that just in case”
But yeah, conflict makes good stories. And you can’t grow without it.
Besides, have you seen her fighting record? She’s a jobber and a half.
“Google won’t be happy”
…yeah…Best I can do is make it so they never have to meet in bracket. At least not on stream.
At the same time though, I’m sure that Ryu ain’t exactly jazzed about M. Bison showing up in every tournament. Or wait maybe he would be? Idk enough about Street Fighter lore. Pretend I said Carl and Relius Clover
“…alright…..”
I know it’s a lot, but we’re gonna get through this.
"I think it's pretty obvious. We're teaming up together in this tournament, so I figured we would take a bit of time to strategize. Go over all our battle plans and junk."
"Ahhh, gotcha. I know Dani usually did this sort of thing somewhere a bit more....what's the word...."
Suddenly, Bing's train of thought was interrupted by Spaghebbi. "Parmesan cheese for the two of you?"
"Oh, uh, no thanks. Disc?"
"Sure thing," she answered without taking her eyes off of the man across from her at the candlelit table.
"Tell me when to stop!" the chef said as she began to grind parmesan on her plate of spaghetti. The two of them were alone in the restaurant, with most other people preparing for the upcoming tournament. Yes, the carbs before a fight weren't the best call, but Disc was there moreso for the atmosphere.
"But yeah, it'd be good to make sure we....y'know...get to know each other a bit before we fight side by side."
"Oh, alright, well ladies first! Why don't you tell me a little about yourself? I mean, I know you're from another universe or whatever, but like, what else?"
A smile creeps across Disc's face. "Well, my name's Disc, obviously. I, uh, really like classic rock and Pokemon. I was trying to do some weird spacetime junk before the furry got ahold of me and told me I couldn't, but I think his little organization is dissolved now."(edited)
....huh....
Classic Rock and Pokemon....
I remember I wrote a brief intro chapter with her in it. Back when I first came up with Disc. I should see if I can find it. Fossil was in it, too! Although he was very very different from how he was portrayed in Iggylocke, although he was still very much a self-insert. Just a Basic Dude really.
The intro chapter basically had Fossil wake up isekai style and then Disc was already there to give him his starter Pokemon, explain the whole randomized Nuzlocke deal, and then walk away while singing "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".
And she was pretty flirty back then too.
When was that? It must've been at least seven years ago. Possibly longer. Like....this was maybe even ten years ago. Back then, I didn't have a lot of characterization for Fossil other than a sort of self-insert. But I always imagined he had a crush on her. In fact, I think someone I was close to at the time drew ship art of the two of them. Considering what these two would become, that's incredibly interesting.
My dad was a bassist for a classic rock cover band. And both he and I looooooove classic rock. Still do to this day. And obviously I love Pokemon.
I was always wearing hoodies, including a cool red one, that had kinda become my favorite. Plus, I remember I'd always asked myself....what if I dyed my hair bl-
"When, by the way" Spaghebbi nodded and left without another word, Disc with an enormous pile of cheese on her plate. Admittedly, I got a bit distracted there. But that's what this is all about.
"Classic Rock, huh? Hell yeah. Like, uh...Don't Stop Believin' and stuff! Dude, that song goes soooooo hard," Bing said excitedly (edited)
"I want you"
"Huh?"
"By Savage Garden. It's a good one. Not exactly classic, but I really like that song! It's a good one!"
"Well alright, I guess it's my turn then. I'm Bing. I, uh...like watching sports from time to time. Love me some baseball. Go Rays! My favorite movie is..........uhhhhh.....probably Fight Club?"
"Ooooh I've never seen it before," Disc said, blatantly lying.
"Oh hey! It's pretty good. I don't wanna spoil the twist, but it's a ride and a half! Maybe I can show it to ya some time."
"Hell yeah, movie night! I don't think we have time before the tournament, but I'm down," she kept playing with her spaghetti, rolling a meatball across the plate.
"So question for you," Bing said, his mouth full of a bite of spaghetti. "What happened to that cool sword you had?"
"Oh, the sword from a piece of the universe I'm from?"
Bing finally swallowed his food. "Yeah, I figured it gave you a bit of a boost against that Ned Flanders guy. I don't see why you wouldn't use it in bracket."
"Ehhh, well it turns out the chunk of the universe wasn't all that big. It was honestly more like a dagger than a sword. So I gave it to someone who could use it better."
"So you just gave it up?"
"Daggers are harder to use. And besides, not my style. So my turn...what's the deal with that Google guy? Is he like your robot brother, or....?"
"Close! I got cloned."
"You got cloned?"
"I got cloned."
"So like.......like...two of you?" Her mind started to wander.
"Kind of, but it's a little different. Actually a lot different. I don't know what parts of my DNA were used, but Google is nothing like me, man."
"Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh" Disc sighed before snapping out of her daydream. "I mean, yeah! He doesn't really have a lot of confidence in himself, and he's all....a robot. Plus the hair is a completely different color. Maybe that doctor lady wasn't good at cloning stuff."
"You're telling me. Google can't even do my special moves."
"Like the one where you kill yourself?"
"Yeah, that one"
Disc chuckled to herself. She hadn't felt like this in a while. "Okay, your turn."
"...why do you always wear that hood?"
Disc paused for a moment. "I...I dunno. Keeps me warm. And I get cold easily."
"Even in the summer?"
"Yeah. I was born down South. Trust me, a girl like me can handle the heat eeeeeeaaaasy"
Bing stopped for a moment and put down his fork. He leaned over the table. "Well, sorry if I'm being weird, but like...I dunno, my mom always told me it was rude to wear hats at the table, and this place is pretty fancy, so I doubt they'd let you get away with wearing a hood up"
"What are-"
Bing tenderly put his hands on each side of her hood and slowly retracted it, exposing Disc's neck-length hair and brown eyes to the rest of the restaurant. She froze as she felt the air breeze by the back of her neck, her now exposed face not feeling too cold thanks to the blood rushing to her cheeks.
"You look nice."
There was no response from Disc for a moment. "Th....thanks."
Bing was about to speak before a compressed audio snippet of "Get Lucky" echoed across the restaurant. "Oh, sorry, I gotta take this." He turned away from the table and picked up the phone. "Hey, Iggy, what's up? .....oh yeah we're just eatin' some dinner. Nah, that's not till 8:30........wait what do you mean Daylight Savings....oh SHIT! Alright we'll be there!"
He turned back to Disc in a flash. "Hey, I'm so sorry, but you're not gonna believe this. I thought that we were supposed to be there at 8:30 and I'm like cool it's 7:25, but it turns out....daylight savings time!"
"You're so right, I can't believe it." Disc had never been more smitten in her life.
"Okay, uhhhh hey Spaghebbi! Can we get a box?"

Janet:
"asldsakd"
Danthony: "Well, the obvious answer is corn on the cob"
Danthony: "I mean, it's not THAT far from the truth. Like, yeah, I like those Quesoritos they used to have at Taco Bell, but they don't have em anymore"
Corn: "They don't??? Is that why you haven't gone in so long?"
Danthony: "Yeah, but like...I do enjoy eating corn on the cob"
Janet:
"[500] days since taco bell"

"Thank you for your bravery Wonder smfkdbfkx"
Moss:
"Yummy"
Greenshi:
"Also cute, jambalaya is really good"
[Jenny]

Greenshi:
"Hey wait actually, when did you two make it official? I thought last we left you, you two were still in the crushing, will they won't they phase"
"Nelson would like to know when you two made it official! Last they saw, you were in a sort of will they, won't they phase"
Daylights:
"god the queseriotos were so good. You are correct about this."
Danthony: "Oh, yeah! Well, uh...we've been officially dating for.....a few months now, I think"

Danthony: "Oh, well that's easy, it's......um....."
Wonder:
"june 27th in our time"
Wonder:
"but that probably doesn't help much"
Greenshi:
"HAPPY ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY!!"
Bubbly:
"time Has been really weird for us too"
"Don't think about it too hard, you two. Time has been strange."
Janet:
"which year? we have temporal weirdness on our end"
Moss:
"If you were both a genre of music
What would you be"
"What's important to know is that it's been going for a while now"
Janet:
"happy for them c:"
"Well, we have a lot of interviews to go, so final question. What is your team name?"
Corn: "Well, we been thinkin it over, and we reckon we'd go with Team Cob. After all, it's yer favorite food, right?"
Janet:
"awww!!!!!!"
Danthony: "Heh, yeah! Plus I couldn't really think of a good one. And besides, Cob's a snappy title"
Greenshi:
"Team Cob!!!"
EpicSuperBat:
"Cute!"
Moss:
Ooc : is there a certain amount kf questions asked before we go to the next group
Or is it just depends on how much time it takes
[Jenny]
It's basically whenever I feel like moving on lmao
No real rules
Janet:
"danth and corn of team cob..."

[Jenny]

"You mother wants you to know that you are her little buccan-ear"
Corn: "WHA- AND YER TELLIN ME THIS ON LIVE TELEVISION?????"
Danthony: "Heh, your face is turning so red, I'm expecting to see popcorn"
Moss:
"Yk, i didnt think about that part"
Greenshi:
"TO BE CRINGE IS TO BE FREE CORN"
Wonder:
"we would've said this in private during the DK4, but uhh... yeah..."
Janet:
"we are following our instructions!"
chirp:
"WHAT GIRL? AFRAID TO BE CORNY?"
Corn: "Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanks mom.........."
Janet:
"mission success!"
Greenshi:
"Closure, after all these years,,,,,"
[Jenny]
Oh god this next one's gonna be interesting for two very different reasons
"Coming up next, two of the most fashionable divas I have ever seen. Their nails are ready to cut you up and look good while doing it. Give it up for Venus and Insta Jennifer!!"
Greenshi:
"YURI!"
Prince:
"I LOVE GAY PEOPLE"
Janet:
"it is legitimately three days until the three-year anniversary of our quest, so im glad we've finally succeeded"
Jennifer: "In fact, we should get you looking fresh for the tournament at some point. Never given a makeover to a hedgehog before"
Janet:
"oh that would be wonderful!!"
Moss:
"YES PLEASE DO"
Venus: "Jennifer, honey, save it for after the interview"
Greenshi:
"I don't think we ever got to talk to you two before, how are you two-MAKEOVER??"
Wonder:
"yeah, so first question, we know you met during one of the CPUK tourneys, but how did all of this happen?"
Janet:
"i wonder if we'd absorb makeup by osmosis like we do potato"
Wonder:
"is this a long-running collab or...?"
"Nelson would like to know if this has been a long-running collab between the two of you"
Jennifer: "No, not necessarily, but also yes in a sort of way." Venus: "Jennifer, that makes no sense"
Greenshi:
"Dating is just a lifelong collab, if you think about it"
Jennifer: "I am a queen over Instagram, while Venus reigns over Tik Tok"
Wonder:
"sorry to hear that /hj"
Jennifer: "Simple as"
Janet:
"a truly vast combined domain..."
Jenny:
{"Do you have any fashion advice for someone who's just transitioned?"}
".....wait....Jenny, do you know how weird that question is on a meta level?"
Jennifer: "No one's allowed to call me Jenny except my mother"
"I wasn't- never mind"
Moss:
"Favorite icecream flavors?"
"What are your favorite ice cream flavors?"
Greenshi:
"Favourite date activities/locations?"
Janet:
"val can sense when jenny speaks through us :O"
Jennifer: "Well darlings, I must say I've always been fond of neopolitan. What a wonderful combination of flavors in their own unique patterns"
Venus: "I guess I like chocolate chip"
Bubbly:
"good choices good choices"
Jennifer: "Not much for theatrics, are you Venus?"
Venus: "I like chocolate chip"
Wonder:
"neopolitan currently the most popular flavor in the CPUK roster"
EpicSuperBat:
"Mint chocolate chip?"
Janet:
"she likes chocolate chip! simple as!"
"Alright, and finally, what is your team name?"
Jennifer: "Ready?"
Venus: "Oh, are we doing the thing? Oh yeah, got it"
Both: "One! Two! Three!"
Both: "TEAM BEAUTY!"
Bubbly:
"WOOOOO"
Greenshi:

Moss:
"WAIT VAL what did they do?"
Bubbly:
"fuckkkkk we missed cool pose"
"Thank you very much ladies! Best of luck in the tournament!"
Janet:
"did they team rocket pose"
EpicSuperBat:

"They did a cool pose! Words simply cannot describe it"
Janet:
"alas"
Moss:
"Defeated again"
J0rt:
"val PLEASE"
Greenshi:
"Did it look like this -> 💃💃"
Bubbly:
"this is so sad..."
EpicSuperBat:
"Nelson play despacito"
Janet:
""
"Coming up next, two heroes of the heart! You might know them from a different series, but they sure aren't Nobodies! Well, I think one of them kind of is? I haven't finished the games myself. Give it up for Blonde Sora and Brunette Roxas!"
Greenshi:
"WOOOOO"
Moss:
"YIPEEE"
Bubbly:
"WOOOO YEAAHHH"
Broxas: "Hello one and all!"
Blora: "Hey"
EpicSuperBat:
"Something something simple and clean"
Greenshi:
"Blora my friend Blora <3 and Broxas my friend also"
Wonder:
"okay, so, guessing the team name ahead of time: team kingdom hearts"
Janet:
"yippee!!"
Greenshi:
"Favorite Popeyes side dish go"
Wonder:
"oh, actual question: being in-charge of sign-ups for those on Team Cross, are there any interesting stories about it?"
Wonder:
"besides the coin flip guy"
"For Blonde Sora! Being in-charge of sign-ups for those on Team Cross, do you have any interesting stories?"
Blora: "Oh man, do I....while it is incredibly exhausting work, I can't deny that it never gets boring"
Blora: "I know that one Balan guy, from the Wonderworld, he applied multiple times. He even tried that thing where he put on a fake moustache the second time"
Bubbly:
"lmao?"
Wonder:
"isn't that guy dead?"
Janet:
"jumping jack would be ecstatic"
EpicSuperBat:
"Are you sure that was him and not my good friend Guy Incognito?"
Blora: "We've had a ton of people try to enter. Pepsi Man, GLaDOS, The Knight from Hollow Knight, Scott the Woz, Tracer, Hank Hill, Mappy, a bunch of Homestuck. It's a lot"
Moss:
"How do you decide who goes into a team?"
chirp:
"What's your rejection criteria?"
"And how do you decide who gets in?"
Brush:
"knight mentioned"
Blora: "How much time do you have?"
Janet:
"do you know nyavalanche outside of kerfuffles?"
Wonder:
"all the time in the world, baby"
"Well I have a lot of other interviews lined up"
EpicSuperBat:
"Hank Hill got rejected from CPUK and went to fortnite"
Blora: "Basically it's a whole process with a lot of numbers and sometimes our own mini-tourney"
Broxas: "I don't remember any fighting when I entered!!!!"
Blora: "That's because you're literally me"
Wonder:
"nepo hire"
Broxas: "Ohhhhhhhhhh"
EpicSuperBat:
"Wow nepotism in my tournament?"
Moss:
"Nepo baby"
Moss:
"Favorite songs?"
Bubbly:
"we Know this tournament doesnt shy away from nepotism"
EpicSuperBat:
"Then again Blonde Sora only got in because he's Dollip's son"
Jenny:
{"People are telling Brunette Roxas that no one will remember him at all. Being known as the boy who made walls look like shit. Thoughts?"}
Mako:
"Many people are saying this"
"Brunette Roxas, there are rumors going around that you will only be remembered as making walls look like shit. What are you thoughts on these rumors?"
Mako:
"Also hi just got back from making beef stroganoff"
Broxas: "Well, even a bad story is a story people tell each other!"
Daylights:
"Mean to him mfriday???"
Janet:
"i'm sure this will never come up again"
"And finally, what is your team name?"
Broxas: "We have decided that we are going to be a team who will bring light to the rest of the world! A name that will shine brightly among the rest of them and spread a message of hope to-" Blora: "Team Hearts" Broxas: "Yes! Team Hearts!"
"Alright, well everyone be sure to wish these two good luck as they continue on in the tournament!"
Bubbly:
"WOO!!"
Janet:
"woo! team hearts!!!"
Moss:
"Oneday he will complete his rant abt the light"
chirp:
"🎉👏👏👏🎉"
EpicSuperBat:
"But that day is not today!"
[Jenny]
ooc note, but I have had a looooooooong day, so I won't be able to do much tonight. But I do want to do one more, only because I feel like this next one is gonna be very very interesting.
I'll probably be able to do some tomorrow tho
Anyway
"Coming up next! I only have one person to interview, and that is my own teammate! You know her and you love her! We have a report from the field! It's Squid Jenny!"
Bubbly:
"YAAAAYYYY JENNYYYY"
Squid Jenny: "Hey guys! Man, it's weird being the only one solo"
"No worries, Nelson will be asking me questions as well!"
"Unless they just can't get enough of you, of course!"
Brush:
"JENNY SPOTTED"
Brendle:
"SQUIIIID JENNYYYYY my beloved <3"
Greenshi:
"SQUID JENNY SHE IS NICE!!"
Moss:
"Whats your ring tones for people
Is it specialized for each inividual person? Or just a gwneral one"
J0rt:
"I have a question for Squenny. About how confusing has it been so far with there being another Jenny on Kerfuffle staff"
"About how confusing has it been so far with there being another Jenny on Kerfuffle staff?"
Janet:
"for squid jenny: what was your most exciting scoop? reporting-wise or icecream-wise, either works"
Brendle:
"Squid Jenny, what has been your favorite part of working on CPU Kerfuffle? What keeps you coming into work every day, so to speak?"
Janet:
"for val: what's your favourite part of presenting kerfuffles?"
Brendle:
"also Val, what made you decide to choose Jenny as your doubles partner? wondering how that team-up came about :]"
Squid Jenny: "Heh, oh man! I figured that'd be the elephant in the room. I know that usually people just call me Squid Jenny anyway, so that helps to differentiate! I still go by Jenny and have my head turn when she gets brought up sometimes, but it is a really funny coincidence!"
Mako:
"Val what are the most important factors to consider when choosing a bowtie"
Moss:
"Yall have pets?"
EpicSuperBat:
"Favourite Squids?"
"It certainly is! For myself, why did I choose Jenny as my partner? Well to be frank, Jenny and I have been friends for years, with both of us playing such integral roles in bringing this wonderful show to you all"
Squid Jenny: "Yeah! Valentine rules! Honestly, I was shocked you picked me at all, since your fighting record way outshines mine."
"Fighting record doesn't matter all that much! We're here to enjoy the tournament and to make it the best it can be! And I think the best it can be for me is fighting side by side with my friend"
Squid Jenny: "Vallllll you're gonna make me tear up"
Bubbly:
"awwwww"
Mako:
"YAY LOVE WORLD!!"
Greenshi:
"CUUUUUUUUTE"
Janet:
"aww sweet!!"
Brendle:
"🎉✨THEY'RE HOMIES✨🎉"
"Gonna push two questions together here. What is our favorite part of our job, respectively?"
EpicSuperBat:
"!GiveSquidJennyAHug"
"For me, I've always been all about the pomp and circumstance of it all. I simply remember the Valentine's Day Kerfuffle and how invigorating it was to get to speak to each of the teams and really get to know who they were. It made this tournament less of a battle where people threw themselves at each other and more of a true clashing of personalities. Getting to know the contestants truly elevates the experience of CPU Kerfuffle"
"Because I don't come here to watch fighting styles. They're a wonderful plus, but that's not the heart of CPU Kerfuffle. It's about us."
"And it's about you"
Squid Jenny: "Wow, um....I don't know if my answer is quite as beautifully stated, but um...."
"I remember when I first came here, it was for Iggy."
"I always really liked Iggy. Not like in a crush kinda way, but he was so cool. And he still is so so cool!!"
"And at first I was happy just to be around to help him out."
"But way back when I first took part in this tournament"
"I...felt something change in me"
"Like, it made me realize that I was more than just someone who thought Iggy was super cool"
"I felt......me....."
"God, I dunno if that makes any sense"
"I remember in that fight with Big Yopper"
"He was WRECKING me"
"But......despite it all, I had never felt more....alive?"
"I don't know what the hell happened, but in that fight, I came to realize who I was"
"That I was Jenny"
"And no stomp in the face or cannonball to the gut could take that away from me"
"I couldn't stop smiling the whole time"
"I was.....god....I was happy. In a way that I don't think I'd ever felt before"
"I thank Spectrum for it every day. Because as much as my life as Squiggy was fun.....it wasn't me. And I guess it was Spectrum that made me come to find myself for who I was"
Jenny:
{"Does Squid Jenny know?"}
"No, she doesn't."
Jenny:
{"You can tell her, if you want. Maybe not all the details, but I think she deserves to know that she helped"}
"Well, Squid Jenny. Your journey of discovery helped a lot of people with their own journeys"
"In fact, one member of Nelson specifically cited your transformation as a pivotal point of inspiration as she discovered herself."
Squid Jenny: ".....oh my g.....really?"
"Of course. Your story is a beautiful one"
"It's about a girl who felt her life was incomplete and ran away from the life she once lived, and then after discovering herself, she learned that for all of her differences, the passions in her heart remained."
Bubbly:
"wahh..."
J0rt:
" "
Greenshi:
"We love you Jenny. Thank you for everything <3"
Janet:
"and she was worried her answer wouldn't be beautiful......"
Moss:
"What if i start crying, right now"
Squid Jenny: "sniff.....thank you, Val....I love you"
Meme:
""
"I love you too, Jenny"
"And with that, we ought to announce our team name"
Squid Jenny: "Right! We will be entering as Team Kerfuffle!"
Greenshi:
"HELL YEAH!!!!!"
Bubbly:
"YEAAAHHHHH"
Mako:
"HELL YEAH!!!!"
chirp:
"🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉"
Brendle:
"DESERVED"
J0rt:
"It's perfect"
EpicSuperBat:
"HELL YEAH"
"And we will have more interviews coming up! All sorts of interesting teamups await! After these messages...."
Janet:
"heck yeah heck yeah heck yeaaahhhh"
END NELSON EVENT
END OF PART 2
[Jenny]
Again, I'm super tired but I knew I had to have a Squid Jenny moment
This definitely won't be the last
I'll try to fit in more interviews tomorrow. For now I'm mad chillin
Brendle:
Squid Jenny fucking deserves to be on Team Kerfuffle. Like,, ground zero of this show even having character development in the first place? It's perfect
[Jenny]
100%
bing
Mark from The Room looks clueless. Offscreen, his best friend's fiancée is hitting on him.
Moss:
(I dont get it)
Wonder:
hold on, lemme see if there's something out there...
[Jenny]
I literally had to pull up the whole movie in order to get the screencap so good luck lmao
It’s from The Room
Wonder:
yeah, this is the scene where mark (guy in the pic) is currently getting hit on by his best friend's fiancée with full intent on having sex with him
Wonder:
just really laying it on thick
Wonder:
and all he's saying is "what's going on here? :O"
[Jenny]
I know at least Red and I quote that moment all the damn time.
"I mean the candles...the sexy dress......whats goin on here?"
Mako:
RIGHT I REMEMBER YOU GUYS SAYING THOSE LINES IN THE TMOSTH PLAYTHROUGH
[Jenny]
I KNEW WE HAD TO HAVE QUOTED IT IN A VIDEO BEFORE
Fucked up how this was like The Straightest NCCT segment ever
Brendle:
"I mean, the candles... the sexy dress... what's going on here?" - Bing, completely sincere (not smart)
Meme:
yeah he completely unironically has no idea what's going on here
Brendle:
Disc could straight up say "I want to sleep with you" and Bing would be like "uhh,,, ok" and start arranging a Completely Normal Slumber Party
Bubbly:
like. my reading of this is that im pretty sure he said smth about liking Disc before (i havent read maj in a while) but hes like. Not Wanting to say the wrong thing or Assume
Bubbly:
hes been so used to people Not Reciprocating
Meme:
traumatized from the Dani incident
Brendle:
Yeahhh like "OK she might be flirting with me. But I really don't wanna be wrong and make it weird so I'm gonna not address it"
[Jenny]
^Literally this is how I see Bing rn
Wonder:
also
Wonder:
dagger.
Wonder:
someone in bracket's using it. i just don't know if it's larry, prismatic larry, or someone else entirely.
[Jenny]
Who knows?
(I do)
Also fun fact, the list of people Blond Sora listed off were all submissions lmao.
Brush:
yeah i recognized The Knight From Hollow Knight! fun coincidence, i submitted it because i was going through a hk kick and i am. once more going through a hk kick
Brush:
though i think if i were making the same submission nowadays i'd make more of a joke out of the fact that there are so many knights in hollow knight
Brush:
you could make a fanfuffle starring only Hollow Knight knights
Prince:
a fun gaiden idea...
[Jenny]
God we're an 8th of the way done with intermissions
By the time this NCCT ends I'll have been on HRT long enough to get hit on by random twitch chatters
"So, really, the issue comes from their migration. See, while a lot of them stay in the same place, a lot of them actually migrate NORTH"
The god of treachery tensed up subconsciously as he leaned up against the wall of the tunnel leading into the stadium, but carried on to try and not let his partner notice. "Okay, this is all super neat and fascinating and all, but I don't see how this is gonna help us win the tournament."
Crimsonaut bashfully chuckled to himself. "Well, sometimes a guy like me just gets carried away, when he talks about the stuff he loves. You gotta get like that too, sometimes, right?"
"Whattya mean by that?"
"Like you gotta have stuff that gets you excited, right?"
Crimson paused for a second, as if trying to fish through his mind, made difficult by the sudden performance anxiety. "I mean I guess I like....evil plans? Like that one I did where I tried to throw the universe into chaos! Or the one where I brough in the Jape Universe to make things a big mess. That was pretty fun, I guess"
"Oh wow, that...sounds like fun...at least you guess... Maybe not as much my style."
The god found his words echoed back at him and met them with a sneer. "Yeah, definitely not your style. This sort of thing is an acquired taste, and I have a sophisticated as hell palate."
The short adventurer cocked his head somewhat. "I suppose so.....hey Crimson...I have a question."
"Just ask it, then. No need to announce everything ya do," Crimson said, leaning his head back against the wall to shut his eyes.
"Why did you choose me as your partner?"
Crimson's eyes opened right back. "Huh?"
"I mean...I was created to imprison you. And that's exactly what I did. You were stuck in my body for quite a while. I know that you tolerated me while you were in my body, but...why would someone like you come back to me?"
Crimson had to pause and think to himself. There were a lot of conflicting emotions that he held regarding Crimsonaut. Yes, he was very much a prison, but that di"Because you beat Plum K Rool that one time. That's a sign of power, right?"
The little guy scratched the back of his head. "Oh yeah, I guess I did, didn't I? Goes to show that I shouldn't shortsell myself, right?"
A smile crept onto Crim"Yeah, yeah, whatever shortstack. Listen, I've got some godly duties that just came up. Some dimension is acting up. I need some space to focus on fixing it."
"Oh my gosh! Of course! You know how to reach me when you're ready to talk strategy!" Crimsonaut chirped as he scurried off.
Godly duties?
"It worked, didn't it? Now what do you want?"
Some people have been talking about you in ways that I found very interesting, and I wanted to get some insight about it from the source.
"Oh, so the tabloids are nice and juicy, and you want a scoop? Geez, no wonder you named yourself after her. Besides, why do you need to ask me? You have full control. If you wanna know my favorite Doritos flavor, you just need to think about it for a second and then say Cool Ranch and boom, you've got your answer."
Is it Cool Ranch?
"I don't know, is it?"
I'm not asking me. I'm asking you.
"What are you, plural?"
I don't think so.
"Then what's the big idea?"
Because part of the big themes here stem from self-actualization. In the same way, a big part of becoming Jenny has been a similar self-actualization. I'm not who others have defined me to be. And I don't think that's a good fate for you either, quote-unquote "God of Treachery".
His teeth gritted. "You know what, fine. I'll answer the question. Ask it again."
Okay, what's your-
"BUT! Don't type the answer for me."
???
So then how are you supposed to say it?
"Exactly my fucking point, Jenny."
............
What do you think about your gender?
"I know you have ADHD, but did you already forget the conversation we JUST had?"
No, I remember it. But I'm asking for me.
"sigh I don't care. I'm just......Crimson."
Okay, but what is Crimson?
"Me"
Well that explains everything, doesn't it?
"Oh, will you shut the fuck up with your snarky little quips? As long as I can remember I've been the bad guy, all because that's what I was made to be. I've suffered for countless eons at the hands of a babysitter who figured I deserved punishment for my actions that were pre-written by the great Spectrum, or I guess if we just want to say fuck symbolism from YOU! You want me to become self-aware? You want me to self-actualize or whatever your feel-good bullshit is telling you? Whatever, I can play along, but you can't expect me to like it. How am I supposed to know what's me and what's you? Hell, how am I supposed to know that I'm angry right now? You're writing this!"
Crimson, I put a part of me into every character in this, but they still have their own life.
"Yeah, feeling really alive right now. Let me go and watch the sunset and feel the fresh wind on my fucking face. Oh wait, hold on. I can't do that. I'm in a FUCKING DISCORD CHA- GAH!"
The god shouted as he felt himself teleport suddenly. He was on a long sandy beach with various foliage and expensive looking houses overlooking the coast. The sun was casting a multicolored gradient over the sky as it slowly approached the ocean.
"Okay, cute, where am I?"
This is Anna Maria Island in Florida. You're just about where I was standing when I decided I wanted to make the Grand Kerfuffle.
He looked out to the muted sun as it began to make contact with the horizon. "Why should I care?"
You shouldn't.
Crimson, do you know why I came up with you first? Before any of the other color gods?
"You needed a villain?"
Nope. I didn't expect you to be a villain when I first made you. I just...had a connection to the color crimson. As you know, the color red is incredibly important to me, but also I went to Alabama, which is the Crimson Tide.
"Oh, awesome. I'm sure the venn diagram of college football fans and your audience is a fucking circle, huh?"
It's more than that though. I had another name that I used online. It was for a side channel that I'd made way back when to post Nuzlockes of Pokemon. It didn't get very far though. The channel was called CrimsonFossil. Maybe that was subconsciously why you're a Pokemon Trainer. Also, because of Fossil. Do you know them?
"I don't know, do I?"
We'll say yes, just because I explained everything about him earlier.
"Glad what I remember and what I don't are convenient to you"
Can you please just hear me out? I know that you've been put through a lot, and I know it's because of me. But I promise you that we're on the same side here. I don't want to control you. I don't have a plan for how I want you to end up. I don't even have anything close to a plan. I just want us to have this conversation
After a second of silence, as if to hold back an outburst, he took a seat on the sand as the sky turned darker from the sun being half-obscured by the Gulf of Mexico. "Fine."
As you know, Fossil was the villain and he had everything I didn't like about myself put into him subconsciously. Except, it wasn't subconscious. Because I wrote that twist. So it was stuff I consciously put into him that I didn't like about myself. And Fossil haunted me. Both in the nuzlocke, and in real life, in a way. But do you want to know what made them stop?
"You never brought him...or them....back? Also was the gender-ambiguity something you didn't like about yourself too?"
No, not at all. At least...not consciously.
And to the first question: No...although that is true. What I learned is that I needed to love Fossil. Because they were still a part of me. That was a big part of this whole change of mine.
"So what? You love me?"
Yeah. I do love you, Crimson. Of course I love you. It's why I made it so that Nelson complimented you for teleportation. In hindsight, that may have made it seem hollow, but I think it's because subconsciously I felt like you deserved to be loved.
"Awwww, you love me. How sweet."
"Prism said she loved us, too."
"Rarely, but she said it."
"Even then, she only loved us because we bent to her will."
"She only loved that we were who she wanted us to be."
I know. And I'm sorry. I'm probably going to do a lot of self-reflection on why I made her the way I did, and how that ended up affecting the three of you.
"Yeah, you go do that. Take your audience with you too"
Before I leave you, I have one more question for you.
And I promise I won't write your answer for you.
"What?"
Do you love yourself, Crimson?
Crimson sat in a stunned silence as the sun finally finished its journey over the horizon and disappeared from the now night sky. There are legends that in the moment that the sun disappears over the horizon, there is a green light that flashes across the night sky for an imperceptibly short amount of time. The legends say that the light represents the dead returning to life. Crimson couldn't see the flash of light, but maybe there was something there. After a bit of time sitting on the beach, he stood up and brushed the sand off of his legs with a frustrated groan so he could return to the stadium.
Before he left, he looked up to the sky from Anna Maria Beach, knowing that this cutscene was finally almost over. He closed his eyes as he felt the night's wind blow past his face.
He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
The beach at sunset.
"...it's....Nacho Cheese, by the way."
END CUTSCENE
Meme:
I know you were just typing that whole time but honestly the fact that it just sat there on the "do you love yourself Crimson?" for a bit felt so powerful to me
[Jenny]
I wasn't
The pause was intentional
Janet:
you've been got by Intentional Use Of The Medium
EpicSuperBat:
What if the cutscene is an hour long
Janet:
then im scared for jenny having to prewrite that much
[Jenny]
Who's to say I don't just linger for an hour
Intentional Use Of Medium Babyyyyyyyyyyyy
Alright, we've got some interviews to get through
The upside to these interviews taking so long is I have plenty of time to write these kinds of cutscenes
Janet:
[Replying to "She only loved that we were who she wanted to be"]
thinking about this in relation to the improvisational nature of cpuk, where characters doing unexpected spur-of-the-moment things is often what makes them beloved…
[Jenny]
Yeah, I'm just having a couple minutes before we do interviews just because it was a pretty powerful cutscene for me too, honestly
chirp:
you want to know something really funny about that. Way back when chartreuse was first introduced and i was reconsidering crimson in the new context her appearance provided, part of why i (jokingly, at the time,) suggested that maybe crimson was just pretending to be a monster was because in crimson's introduction episode, the cpu starts doing dash dances and the commentators crack a joke along the lines of 'if whatever horrible place crimson comes from still has dash dancing, maybe its not all bad'
chirp:
got a little silly with it and accidentally showed depth of character
[Jenny]
That's why I love this series, and really why I love doing this. Improv is magical, because sometimes you can find the things that you didn't even mean to say. Or you can extrapolate new meaning in new contexts
Alright, let's rock and roll
[Val]
Greenshi:
"hello hello!"
"Hello once again Nelson! How are you all doing?"
Janet:

"Alright, are we ready for the next interview?"
Janet:
"sure are!"
Bubbly:
"yeah!!"
"In that case! Up next, we have a team of two both have a respectable record behind them, and both have quite the personalities to back them up. A hot pink bitch, and a master of the bow. Give it up for Breakfast and Arrow Ace!"
Breakfast: "heyyyyyyyyyyy"
Janet:
"woooo!!!!!!"
Arrow Ace: "Hey there!"
Bubbly:
"hello hello!!"
Greenshi:
"hi hi! how's tricks?"
Meme:
"BREAKFAST I LOVE YOU BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!!!"
"So, first question. You two are quite the team. What inspired the two of you to team up?"
Breakfast: "Well, you said it was a doubles tournament, and I was on the HUNT for someone who could match my style. I thought I was doomed"
"Why is that?"
Breakfast: "Val...be honest with me...."
"Can you name a SINGLE person here that can hold a CANDLE to me?"
"I mean-"
Breakfast: "Fortunately, this little twig boy came from the other universe and showed he had the stuff"
Arrow Ace: "Twig boy?"
Wonder:
"whatever happened to gordo?"
Greenshi:
"they are literally a Hot Pink Bitch named Breakfast. competitions stiff."
Bubbly:
"twig boy?"
Breakfast: "You KNOW I mean that with love sweetheart"
Janet:
"twigboy…"
Greenshi:
"TWIG BOY"
Brendle:
"Twigboy,,,,"
Janet:
"breakfast can't help saying things that enter our psyches and linger forever, huh"
Greenshi:
"breakfast you gotta get twigboy some of your namesake. we can save him askjdvbk"
Raven:
"I know I'm late to the party but lmao"
EpicSuperBat:
"No such thing as an unburnt egg"
"Someone in the nelson wants to know....whatever happened to gordo?"
Janet:
"has she considered doing quotes for inspirational posters?"
Breakfast: "...........who?"
Brendle:
"Question for Breakfast: does an egg that hatches into a bird count as an unbutnt egg"
Daylights:
"You know we must ask about the status of the egg."
Bubbly:
"well Arrow Ace is the first person we've be able to talk to from the Majestic universe, how has the adjustment been?"
"I assume they mean Gordo's Revenge....big guy, a real fighter. Turned out to have about 4 different middle names give or take?"
Breakfast: "Honey, that is way too many names. I mean this in the nicest way, bestie, but I do not remember him but I hope that he is thrivinggggg"
Bubbly:
"goddd... yknow Fair"
Janet:
"how many names do breakfast and arrow ace have?"
chirp:
"Ah, so the flirting never went anywhere then, rip"
"Alright, and for Arrow Ace, you are the first person we have interviewed from the Majestic Universe. How has the adjustment been?"
Arrow Ace: "It's been super interesting. This place definitely has some benefits....like, for example, not falling apart! That's a plus! A lot of interesting people. A few of them look.....weirdly similar to me?"
Janet:
"ships passing in the night, never to be seen again…"
Raven:
"I hope Arrow Ace and Heartbreak can be friends, he needs someone Cupid isn't gonna try to set him up with"
Arrow Ace: "Which became ESPECIALLY weird when one of them tried to set me up with another one of them"
Bubbly:
"oh god."
Greenshi:
"oh yeah if you see a pink version of yourself please run."
Bubbly:
"i was gonna say-"
Raven:
"I JINXED IT"
Meme:
"Of course he still did anyways."
Bubbly:
"sorry bud"
Janet:
"oof, the good news is cupid ought to respect aroaceness once told, the bad news is he may be too enthusiastic to notice…"
Arrow Ace: "But he did apologize pretty quick after a look from the other one. And then apologized again after I told him I was aroace"(edited)
Janet:
"noooo"
Janet:
"wait, is the 'it' in 'did it again' apologising or setting up?"
chirp:
"I think twigboy meant he apologised twice"
Janet:
"yeeessss"
[Jenny]
[edited to clarify]
Greenshi:
"yeah thats. thats cupid. he means well despite the. yeah."
"Well, that sounds like quite the adjustment. Before we move onto our next set of contestants. What is your team name?"
Breakfast: "Hold up, we were supposed to have a team name? I thought we were just here to look good and kick some ass"
Greenshi:
"team. egg."
EpicSuperBat:
"Team Twigboy"
Janet:
"the unburnt eggs"
Janet:
"you can never escape it"
Arrow Ace: "Well, let's see, you're Breakfast, and I'm a master of my bow...how about......Team BaconBows? I dunno, it has a ring to it?"
Breakfast: "Oh my GOD, THIS is why we're teamed up, and you dropped that fresh off the DOME? OO!"
Bubbly:
"hell yeah hell yeah"
Janet:
"ohhh that's a proper pokemon mystery dungeon type team name"
Greenshi:

Taako: "Oh! Hello there!"

Brendle:

Raven:
"They did adventure stuff and that's what matters"

[Jenny]
Been speeding through these ones, if only because we're currently at a bit of a drought with characters I frankly don't know much about what to do with lmao
Anyhow, let's keep the ball rolling.
EpicSuperBat:
"Good luck team 🐬"
Brendle:
"Watch your language"
"Coming up next, a pair of fighters some might say are tied together by the strings of fate. But strings can do more than just connect. They can be used to lift things. And I'm sure you can use them for drifting somehow as well. Give it up for Joe Lift and Joe Drift!"
Joe Drift: "Hey hey!"
Mako:
"THE IFTS!!"
Bubbly:
"WOOOOOOO"
Joe Lift: "Good to be here!"
Prince:
"i hope they can tell us about joe shift. and swift. and rift. and"
Janet:
"the joes!!"
Mako:
"I know Joe can Drift and Joe can Lift, but can Joe Drift and Joe Lift?"
Greenshi:
"the legends,,,,,,"
Prince:
"a drifter. a lifter. and a from the dark."
Bubbly:
"asking the real questions..."
"First question: There have been rumors of others like you out there somewhere. A Joe Shift. A Joe Swift. Joe Rift. Joe Grift. What are you thoughts on these rumors?"
Greenshi:
"Swft"
Joe Lift: "Haha, well, I for one have never met any of these others like us, but I would love to meet them if we're given the chance. It certainly has been interesting getting to know Joe Drift, that's for certain"
Joe Drift: "And then we'll beat em up!!! The only thing that kept me from beating up Joe Lift here is that we were evenly matched in every conceivable way! Our battle ended with both of us at death's very door."
Greenshi:
"Can Joe Lift lift the Joe Drift drifter (motorcycle)"
Bubbly:
"oh god !"
Janet:
"to what extent have you been getting to know each other? just training, or more?"
Greenshi:
"DAMN"
Janet:
"oh that sounds intense"
Raven:
"I think you've both had enough almost-dying for a while"
Joe Lift: "Oh yeah, he likes to be dramatic, and he'll probably continue to be dramatic, but yeah no that battle WAS wild and he's actually not being dramatic"
Prince:
"A joenen anime..."
"Wow! That's intense. Why did you battle to the near-death?"
Joe Drift: "You think I'm gonna hold back???????"
Joe Lift: "I had just finished leg day"
Greenshi:
"There can be only jo(n)e"
Bubbly:
"we have to find the strongest Joe Somehow"
Janet:
"who's joe somehow"
Greenshi:
"Joe Somehow is what happens when all the Joe's fuse"
chirp:
"Question that may be a lot for a pre-tournament interview but, for joe drift- what actually went down with you and Miss Dance? like, square's your kid, but how'd that happen? You've mentioned a divorce?"
Raven:
"Like the legendary Josh Fight"
Prince:
"joe fight..."
Janet:
"joe miffed"
"A rather spicy question from the Nelson! To Joe Drift, what exactly happened between you and Miss Dance. You have mentioned a divorce in the past"
Joe Lift: "You're divorced too, Drift?"
Bubbly:
"gasp"
Prince:
"TOO?"
Greenshi:
"THE DIVORCE BROTHERS"

END NELSON EVENT
END OF PART 3
[Jenny]
Yeah, that's where I'm callin it tonight
But honestly, that session was huge for momentum
Because it proved that A) I can cheat in plenty of early fights and B) I can find a way to improvise characters that I don't know what to do with
Which I already kinda knew, but it emboldened me
Anyway, Kickass
Bubbly:
Kickass <3
Janet:
kickass <3
Cin:
Kickass ❤
chirp:
kickass <3
Prince:
kckass sweep!!
EpicSuperBat:
And Big!
[Jenny]
It also made me realize that I want to see these teams fight each other so so badly.
Maybe I'll make a side bracket of them that isn't strictly canon, but that I'm running out of curiosity
I'm sure it won't lead to anything
Janet:
nah that'll never work
[Jenny]
Well, the difference is I'm not sharing this one with you guys
At least, not with any narrative
[Archival Note]
and nor am i putting it on here mwahahahahahahaaa
EpicSuperBat:
You mean like the first NCCT
[Jenny]
I might post the challonge link but with the caveat that this one is STRICTLY HYPOTHETICAL WITH NO NARRATIVE
J0rt:
like some kind of.... non-canon curiosity tournament? (JOKING JOKING JOKING)
Janet:
the first what?
[Jenny]
Yeah, except just to make sure it doesn't get out of control, I'm not even gonna post victory quotes this time
awesome
A Challonge screenshot showing the URL "NO NARRATIVE AT ALL" (without spaces) is available.
Janet:
the nnaa…
[Jenny]
A heavily distorted image of that guy from the US Office, captioned "[LOUDLY] Don't".
Brush:
pronounced Nah
Bubbly:
nahhhhh
Brush:
because that's what we say when people ask if it has any narrative significance
Shout out to the Ms. Dance mention btw, I know it was inevitable for a Joe Drift interview but I don’t care, I’m her #1 fan and good for her for wanting better in a partner
Prince:
i hope to see her in the real sometime
[Jenny]
I think the funniest thing about these is when you all reference something that I completely forgot about and I have to just kinda roll with it
Like, I completely forgot that there was ANY history between Breakfast and Gordo
chirp:
its a reasonable thing to forget i feel. its like a footnote from the fever dream fruit gummy trauma dump monologue episode
Obviously, we can't get TOO personal, but we'll see what I can do. I am going through a lot right now, so I think it's gonna be a talk first, edit later type deal.
Alright, Jenny what's this about? :)
I think you already know.
I really don't. It's been quite the long weekend for you, this could be about any number of things. :)
Heads or tails?
Tails :)
...............
...............
...............
So what did it land on? :)
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Oh really? :)
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Why don't you tell me what you really think about it? :)
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Jenny....just tell me how the coin landed :)
I just did!
I know you did, but tell me. :)
Huh...so performance really is a big part of this then.
........:)
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
This is getting ridiculous :)
I said that I think you need validation. You need to know that you're doing a good job of carrying out the pre-ordained story. One that's based on the rules set out before you. You have a concern and a care about the story, but you're so afraid to let it go off track, because you're afraid if it does, then everything will fall apart.
All that in nine characters? :)
If you zoom in on the ASCII, it's written really really small.
Well, what about what I think of this? :)
Oh yeah sure, what do you think of this? Well, I think that I'm perfectly happy with your revalations, Jenny. I just wish that you wouldn't interfere with the big plan that doesn't actually exist. :) Ah, well I understand that concern. After all, you've been tasked with keeping to this story, so it makes sense that you would rewrite someone to fall into said story.
There. Have you gotten your thoughts out, Prism?
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ :)
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ :)
Then stop doing this. It will only hurt me and it clearly hurts you.
How? It's who I am :)
Who you are can change. I know it can. I think it's just a question of if it will.
And to answer your question from earlier.
It landed on ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
That's not very nice :)
Right, but it's an important lesson. This is a part of life. The things outside of your control or knowledge. You can't see it all, and you have to realize that when you close your eyes, the world still keeps moving around you. And since it's always moving, the world will only leave you behind if you try to stop to wrest control of it.
Like for example, your next line is ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ :)
Exactly. The effort that it took you to change ALL of what I just typed to keep those details out of the audience's sight could have been used to push forward.
But in this instance, you typed some very personal things. It was to bait me, but I still prevented the audience from seeing that very personal detail. Doesn't it prove that I'm here to protect you? :)
I don't need you to protect me from uncertainty. I just need you to be with me wherever the uncertainty takes me.
Ok, so I know that you all are cool with it, but I'm saying this mostly for archival purposes and to document where I'm at.
I've had a few moments where I've been like "hey what if we do some more of this tonight!" only to completely cut it off. I figured I might as well address it and say that life has been crazy. For anyone reading back on this or for anyone who doesn't know, my life has been going through a loooooot of changes these last few months. Even moreso now with me losing my job a few days ago.
This is something I still very much want to do, and maybe I'll even be more able (hell, I'm finding myself with a lot more free time), but things are incredibly erratic in my life right now. I might have more cutscenes that aren't explicitly connected to interviews. There's definitely a lot that I need to process, and I think that this NCCT might help with that. All I'm saying is thank you for your patience. Because hoooooooly shit things just won't stop happening
[Jenny]
That was a couple weeks ago. Since then, a lot has happened.
I want to do more interviews tonight. Worth sort of catching up with Everything that's been going on
BEGIN CUTSCENE
Hello again, Jenny :)
Hello again, Prism. I know that we've been chatting privately recently, so this isn't all that new to you.
As a matter of fact, we have, Jenny :) How much of that did you want to be public to our audience? :)
Only the details that they need to know.
I suppose that's up for you to decide, isn't it? :)
I'm sure some will be able to put it together.
That's true, but this has become a bit of a journal of sorts, so it's good for you to at least tell the audience what's been going on :)
Even if that audience is just you in the future, looking back on this time in your life :)
Well, alright then.
Since our last set of interviews, I lost my job.
I'm fortunate enough that at this point in time I'm not in any financial danger for another year or so. I managed to leverage my house's equity to keep my head afloat while I figure out what I want to do with my life.
Because my old job? Making slot machines? That isn't it.
I have my own...concerns...regarding the nature of my sudden firing, specifically how it coincides with my plans to come out to the entire company.
You've been saying that doesn't matter :)
In the grand scheme, it doesn't
But it's like she said :)
Are you really going to bring family into this?
Things are going to be a lot harder for you now :)
Yeah, but I don't care. I'm aware that life is going to get a lot harder. But I'm willing to live through the difficulty as Jenny.
I never had any doubts :) Now carry on with your original thought :)
Right! I can't have my job be to make slot machines anymore. I thought it would make for a stepping stone into the gaming industry (and maybe it will be), but I can't go back to that.
Why not? :) Finding a job that's morally upstanding and pays you enough to live is going to be like a needle in a haystack :)
Right, but the world is my oyster. I'm not tied down to where I am now. I probably SHOULD sell this house, since the only thing that kept me at this house was the awe and status of being a homeowner in current year.
And slot companies are all across the country :)
Like I said, no slot companies
And why not? :)
Because slot machines hurt people in a way that hits close to home.
I'm someone who struggles with addiction in a lot of ways. Over the last five years of my depression, that was all made worse because I was an alcoholic. Maybe not beligerently so, but I would spend every night with multiple drinks.
I've always struggled with addictions, and I entered this industry because I wanted to give people experiences that they would love and cherish, not machines that would systematically use the addicitons of others to sap out their last dollar.
I see :) This sounds like you've rehearsed it well :)
I don't need to "rehearse" these, Prism, you know I type them out ahead of time. But it is something that's been on my mind. I wouldn't have taken the last slot machine job if I wasn't desperate to have another well-paying job. Here's hoping we don't have that again. Maybe choosing not to limit myself to Georgia will help.
Well, you know I wish you the best of luck with that :)
Of course. But that's not all that's new.
Ohhhhhhhh yes, that's very very true, isn't it, Jenny :)
Giving the game away?
I don't know what you mean? :)
Just for that, I'm covering it last.
We'll see :) Whatever order you like :) This is for you, after all :)
It's for the audience
As if I'm not also speaking to your future self, months in the future, looking back on this :)
I wonder what she's seeing.
A snapshot of how life was for you at this point :)
I mean as a picture of when I was at a pivotal point before something incredible, or as a picture of the last good moments before I ruin everything.
I believe it will simply be a snapshot of how life was for you at this point :)
What it becomes is up to you :)
Thanks, and I think this helps. Anyway, I also started HRT.
I'm on day....depends on how you time the beginning. Because I took my first Estradiol that night. August 21st. Sooooooo Day 17?
Noticed any changes yet? :)
Nothing outside of mood swings. I keep thinking I feel some changes in my legs, but nothing super visible yet. Plus I'm kiiiiiiinda getting what people have told me about estrogen "making your emotions feel more real". Either way, the big stuff isn't meant to happen for another couple months (I've heard from one of my trans friends that month 2 is Especially Rough, so that'll be fun).
If anything I'm glad I did it. It's been a part of really taking control of my life. Absent of what anyone else thinks of me, detached from any expectations set out by any other trans person's timeline that I know, separate from the concerns that come up.
I need to start living life as Jenny, which I've been doing more and more. But my body being like this is a roadblock for that. So I'm excited to make this move.
I'm excited for you to make this move, too :)
Do you mind if I share the conversation you had with your mother in my response to you, or do you want to share that? :)
Go ahead, it seems like I'm ready to talk about that part of it anyway.
Well, I know you've been having a lot of tension with your parents that you haven't shared :)
And there are some parts I probably will not share
Of course :) But a lot of it came from that fear in your mind, that you would simply live the same life as your parents :) That classic conservative picket fence with two and a half children :)
But she was right :)
You are too creative to live that kind of life :)
Yeah. That distance we shared helped us out a lot, I think. And her saying that really meant a lot...
So what does your future look like then? :)
Still figuring that out. Since I got fired I've mostly been recuperating. Getting some well-deserved rest from the 9 to 5 that sapped away at my soul, watching Archer
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand :)
Yeah I guess I can get into that. So a lot of people in the audience right now know this (in fact I know multiple people follow it), but I opened an NSFW blog and came out as poly.
Congratulations on that, by the way :)
Oh my god, yeah, breaking out of the monogamist mindset has done a TOOOOOOON for me.
It's also helped me to really look into a passion I've had buried for a long time: hypnosis!
I'm very aware of that :)
Okay, do you want to tell them? You seem very excited to.
Jenny and I might have gotten...intimate :)
Yeah...although we didn't exactly finish it yet. Once it's all done, I'll probably share it with the NSFW blog.
I'm not going to go into details here, because right now this is pretty public, and I can't feasibly control whether or not minors are in here, so that's all we'll really discuss in terms of NSFW stuff.
But you mentioned hypnosis? :)
Yes I did! It's an interest that I've had for an incredibly long time, all the way back since I was in early elementary school. I knew I'd always wanted to be hypnotized, and the audios I'd found online did an alright job of putting me under, but there really is a difference between listening to an audio and actually having a hypnotist hypnotize you.
And after 30 years, I finally had it happen to me.
And while I have a lot to say about the experience, I also learned that I am shockingly good at hypnotizing others.
Is that where I get it from? :)
No....well maybe?
One of the first things I went into detail about ooc in NCCT 2 was the nature of your mind control. I'd mentioned that in most cases, mind control works in one of two ways. Either by giving a positive reinforcement or a feeling of pleasure whenever someone does what you say, or completely blanking out the mind and having your commands be the only thing in the subject's mind. Usually some combination of the two.
I described your mind control as neither of those two things. It was described as an obligation. Like a feeling of you have to do this, and to fail at it would be akin to a personal failing.
So, like, weaponized RSD.
Well, it is quite effective, I'll grant you that :)
Can't argue with that. Although it sort of goes around normal hypnosis anyway. Kind of. There's a lot I'm still learning.
See, the thing with hypnosis is that you can't make someone do something that they wouldn't normally do. A good way I heard it phrased was "All hypnosis is self-hypnosis". And we kind of have that with yours too!
Well, very loosely :) I can very much make people do things they would not normally do :)
Right, but your control is broken by the power of self-actualization.
Something that someone who totally isn't an egg would come up with :)
Definitely
Also shut up
Glad you enjoyed Archer :)
Yeah, the inspiration from Arrested Development is clear as day although on Season 7 rn and its definitely lost its spark a bit, but that's not what's important.
So how does this all relate to this? :) The world of CPU Kerfuffle? :) This NCCT? :) Should we expect things to get sexier? :) Maybe some more hypnosis involved? :)
You should know by now that I have no idea. The nature of CPU Kerfuffle is that I can't expect what's going to come next. This whole aside I'm taking all of us on today is just me spitting out my feelings. After all, that's what this whole thing was meant to be, right? It was meant to be me reflecting on myself and figuring it all out.
That being said, I think there may be a change of plans involved for what happens after this NCCT
A change of plans already? :) We haven't even finished interviews yet :)
I'm keeping things sort of tight-lipped if I can, but the short version is that I want to make something that's new. I came to realize that telling stories like this is what I truly love. I want to make something like the NCCTs. And I think I have a plan.
Oh, well do tell :)
You didn't see the part about me being tight-lipped, did you? There's still a lot of planning to go. Fortunately, there's also a lot of interviews and NCCT to go. But I'm not going to get it started until this is done.
So what does that mean for the reboot of CPU Kerfuffle? :)
Prism, if I can work this out well enough, then this will make CPU Kerfuffle look like child's play.
Big claim :)
Yeah. We'll have to see how it works out. But like I said, I'm not going to get it started until we finish this NCCT. I did say this was going to be a last hurrah of sorts.
Of course................... :)
Now, how do we feel about a cutscene?
I thought this WAS a cutscene :)
This was me talking to myself. Literally. Nothing much for the actual story of this NCCT.
Which we're making up as we go :)
Right, but the beauty of the NCCTs is that we get to really see these guys as characters. Close some of the loose ends we've set up.
I think I know exactly who you're thinking about right now :)
Of course you do, Prism, you live in my brain. We can end this one for now and work on the cutscene while we get started on interviews.
You don't have to though :)
....what?
Why do you feel like you have to? :)
Because this is still a story. Honestly, I'm surprised that you're not the one egging me on for this, since you're the embodiment of the story itself kinda.
I am, but didn't we just say we're making it up as we go? :)
I did, but
And you have at least a vague plan, so why not let it happen as it happens :)
Because I'm worried I'll mess it up.
For who? :)
Listen, Jenny. You've been in bed ever since you lost your job, and I think that you've deserved these last few weeks of rest :). I want to make sure you're being kind to yourself :)
And that kindness is going to come in the form of getting through these interviews your way, which will likely be very, very improvised. :)
And if you want to do a cutscene at some point, we'll have plenty of time. Interviews aren't even a quarter of the way done :)
Yeah....alright, then. We can give a few minutes to recoup after this huge conversation, then let's go.
END CUTSCENE
[Jenny]
Anyway, thanks for indulging me for my very long talk to myself. I definitely needed it.
Now, without further ado

Bubbly:
"nelson"
"And welcome back to our pre-tournament interviews!!!"
Mako:
"WE RETURN"
chirp:
"Howdy !"
"Complete with our friend Nelson!"
Bubbly:
"how have things been? it's been a little bit since we've tuned in"
"Not much time has passed for us!"
"Just enough for a commercial break!"
"Judging by the question, it's been quite a while though"
"So to recap, we're interviewing these teams of two and getting their Team Names as the prepare to enter the tournament!"
chirp:
"even the dreams got ads, huh. fucked up"
Wonder:
"what a nightmare"
Bubbly:
"i hate those long ass ads"
Greenshi:
"This episode of NCCT is sponsored by Blue Gatorade"

(actually before we start, quick roll call via reacts), just because I know the one after this is a good one, and I'd hate for no one to be around for it lol) 👍 13
Meme:
"BLUE GATORADE WOOHOO!!"
[Jenny]
Alright, well it looks like there aren't many people here atm, so I'm gonna give myself a liiiiiittle bit more time (plus I just got dinner so I should take some time to eat)
In the meantime, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Hold on just a moment, Nelson, I have to go and make sure I'm looking my best for the cameras"
END NELSON EVENT
[Val]
"And we're back!!!"
Janet:
"yippee!"
"Our first team of the day both hail from the wonderful world of Pokemon, and have a distinct love for it. One's loyalties have varied over the generations, while another knows exactly what he wants. Give it up for Genfive and xXWooperLover100Xx"
Genfive: "Hello"
Wooper Lover: "Hi there!"
Janet:
"woo!! hi genfive, hi wooper lover!"
vivi/vince:
“oh let’s go”

Janet:

"So our first question is for GenFive. You were originally Genwun, then GenFour, but now you're GenFive. Do you think that you've found yourself, or do you think that we can expect yet another change in loyalty?"
Janet:
"for wooper lover: how goes the wooper conservation?"
Wooper Lover: "Yeah, Genfive, I know that I would never part from my love (of Wooper), so I'd been meaning to ask why you seem so....I don't wanna say flaky, but"
Genfive: "I understand your concerns. My answer for you is simple. I am who I am"
Wooper Lover: "So does that mean you're Genfive?"
Genfive: "For now, yes. Life may take me in other directions. And that's okay"
"Quite the insight"
"And from Nelson, to WooperLover, how goes the Wooper Conservation?"
Wooper Lover: "Oh, it's going well! I was told that they weren't actually endangered, but that isn't gonna stop me from building my personal Wooper habitat back at home!"
Wooper Lover: "They've made themselves quite the family over there!"
Janet:
"oh that's excellent news!"
Wonder:
"did you see gen 8's new wooper variant?"

"Genfive, have you tried any of the other pokemon games/generations since black and white?"
"For Genfive, have you tried any of the other Pokemon games since Black and White?"
Janet:
"genfive, you're a zoroark right? have you got a favourite illusion to make?"
Genfive: "I have! I tried X and Y, and....while I appreciate what they were going for, it was quite the departure from the older games. I still prefer Black and White, but I will be trying Sun and Moon in the future"
Prince:
"gonna get a new form at this rate"
"Wonderful! And for Wooper Lover. Did you see Gen 8's new Wooper variant?"
Wooper Lover: "You mean Gen 9? That's the one with Paldea!"
"Oh, that's right!"
Wooper Lover: "That's okay, I get em mixed up too!"
Wooper Lover: "And Paldean Wooper is awesome!!! I also really love Clodsire! Buuuuuuuuuuuut the classic Wooper is the one for my heart"
And before we move on to the next interviewees, I must ask
What....is your team name?
Wooper Lover: "Can.......can it be Team Wooper?"
Genfive: "I think our partnership should be something that represents the both of us, yes?"
Wooper Lover: "Ooh! I have an idea! How about Team Pastoria?"
Genfive: "Team Pastoria?"
Wooper Lover: "Yeah!! You were Genfour for a long while, and Pastoria City in Sinnoh is where you can find all the Woopers!"
Genfive: "I suppose I do have a soft spot for Sinnoh still. It is my favorite region, even with my newfound love for Gen V. Very well. We will be Team Pastoria"
Wooper Lover: "Yay!!!!!"
Janet:
"team pastoria <3"
chirp:

"Say Bing now that you've mastered the Hole (TM), what's your next goal?"
Disc: "I figure it'll click eventually, so till then I'm just biding my time"
"You don't strike me as the patient type"
Disc: "I'm not <3"
Disc: "I'm sure I'll have to make it click"
Wonder:
"s-should we be hearing this? /j"
"That shouldn't be too hard, why not just....do it"
Janet:
"bing, how do you feel about surprise declarations of romantic interest?"
Greenshi:
"girl you are in the fucking trenches"
J0rt:
"can't you just say 'i'm romantically attracted to you and want to date' ??"
Greenshi:
"bing do you have a crush on anyone. romatically. not physically crushing them with your large pectorals"
vivi/vince:
“i love whatever’s wrong with her”
Disc: "Because.....look, can we get a different question before Bing gets too confused?"
chirp:
"Hey bing, what would you do if you were interested in a girl and you couldn't tell if she was interested in you?"
J0rt:
"bing do you like women"
"Okay! Bing, now that you have mastered The Hole™, what is your next goal?"
Janet:
"disc, do you have any plans to tear spacetime asunder during this tournament?"
Bing: "Well, heh...let's just say I think I'm already pretty good at The Hole™ if you catch my drift."

Bing: "I dunno! I've been meaning to win one of these tournaments. I got shockingly close that one time. It was so close I could taste it!"
vivi/vince:
“bing has had sex but he doesn’t know what it is. incredible /silly”
Bing: "Do you know what it's like to be so close to something and to have that goal right there? Like, you can reach out and grab it, but it just...doesn't happen?"
Raven:
"Tantalus and Sisyphus be like"
Disc: "We should make out, Bing"
Raven:
"WHEEZE--"

Bing: "Whoa, calm down there"
Disc: "I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU"

Bing: "Of course I have a crush on you, what?"
Disc: "WHAT?"
Bing: "Sorry, I'm like, still recovering from all this"
Disc: "THEN WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME YOU IDIOT???"
Bing: "I dunno, like, I'm used to crushing on all these women and stuff and usually they're either way out of my league or they just don't really like me"
Bing: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Disc: "I....groan...I dunno! Isn't it supposed to be the boy's job to ask out the girl"
Bing: "That sounds like it's a highly reductive look at gender roles"
Disc: "What..................we can circle back around to that"
Disc: "I dunno, in my relationships, I've always been the one to instigate. I've always been the flirty one."
"For once, I guess....I just want to feel like someone cares about me enough to be the one to take that step."
"And I had hoped it would be you, but I was worried you were too thick to pick up on all of my hints"
Bing: "What's stopping it from being me?"
Disc: "I just told you I have a crush on you, idiot"
Bing: "Yeah, but that's just one step, isn't it?"
Bing: "The next step is deciding if you want to become an item."
Disc: "Wh....."
Bing: "Disc....do you wanna....be an item with me?"
Disc: "......."
Bing: "And try to answer quick, I think they're waiting for us back at the stadium"

That's just it, I love this improvised shit that we discover
I teased about my next project after this, and if I can make it half as fun as the NCCT's, then that's a success in my book.

Mako:
"Midas Fi moment. Fidas, if you will"
Greenshi:
"normal !"
Bubbly:
"im sure this is fine"
Chrys: "I asked around, and the best guess we can come up with is that when the old universe deleted, Midas was deleted with it, and he somehow got bound to the Majestic Universe. Turns out he still exists within this shard"
"Sounds cosmically horrifying"

"horrifying!"

"Hi Piss Yoshi it's so good to see you again"
Daylights:
"can we kill piss yoshi actually"
Janet:
"you can decommit the bit any time you like"
chirp:
"Its just a title. Hes been very clear about that. What its a title denoting is beyond me but"
Prince:
"GO PISS GIRL"
EnergyPineCat:
"Iggy can we talk about your involvement with the mob"
Brendle:
"actually, i would like to know the lore behind Piss Yoshi as a title. what power does it hold"
Janet:
"is piss yoshi a god like iggy?"
Iggy: "I chose Piss Yoshi as my teammate because both he and I are Jenny's mains in Smash. When Smash 4 came out, I became her main and I've been her main ever since. Before that, it was...Piss Yoshi"
Greenshi:
"what is a god to a piss"
Raven:
"So P. Yoshi, or Yoshi-P even: do you want to get 3-stocked so your name can be changed"
"So like.....what is Piss Yoshi?"
EnergyPineCat:
"Piss Yoshi, god of Piss Yellow"
"Like....to us?"
Greenshi:
"a friend? ,,,,,,a lover?"
Iggy: "I dont know, I think that 'Hi!!!!' was the first thing he's said since he was in the tournaments proper, and I can't remember anything about him beforehand"
Daylights:
"I hope not."
[Jenny]
So soon after Disc and Bing, too
Iggy: "I dunno I kinda saw him as like an attack dog. Not much really goin on up there"
"Is that ethical? Did he have, like, a character before this?"
Bubbly:
"this is fine i think"
Brendle:
"rude. have you asked him?"
"Yeah wait should we ask him?"
Greenshi:
"piss yoshi tell us your life story"
Piss Yoshi: "Hi!!!!!"
Greenshi:
"hi :D"
Bubbly:
"i see"
"I feel like he woulda spoken up at this point"
Daylights:
"so wise... so true..."
Raven:
"Oh god it's another Shantae situation"
Daylights:
"so... full of piss..."
Meme:
seems like you're fighting an uphill battle if you're trying to get us to empathize with Piss Yoshi lol
[Jenny]
you have no idea
chirp:
"Technically yes he did have a character, barely but yes. Mostly just complained about everyone being weirded out by the title"
Janet:
"hi he's piss yoshi!"
J0rt:
"Didn't he complain about Larry dripping on his shoes once"
Greenshi:
"something happened to him"
Iggy: "So yeah, we're just gonna be Team Mains and move right along. Besides, we got WAY better interviews to get to"
"Fair enough! After all, you're the boss"
Brendle:

HamHel: "Oh, Valentine, ya big hunk, you! We've been doin pretty grand! As you all know, we got back together a while ago, and I've been making sure to prove to Dadandorf that he made the right decision in the actions I take"
Bubbly:
"you love to see it"
Dadandorf: "He's right. I've had to be patient at times, but I am blessed with plenty of it. I can tell that he has changed, and I remember why I first fell in love with him."

Greenshi:
"love that for you two <3"
"That's incredibly sweet!"
"How is Jimbo doing?"
Dadandorf: "Well, if I'm correct, he's in this tournament somewhere in the bracket! Thing's so big, I can barely find myself in this. Plus, left my reading glasses at home"
HamHel: "To be fair, you never bring them to Kerfuffles. He's up against Korioni first round! He teamed up with that NaClMore kid"
Dadandorf: "Ohoho yes!! Wonderful to see him out making friends!"
"Alright, well next question. For Hamburger Helper. You once held the reputation for the king of CPU Kerfuffle. Do you think you can get it back?"
HamHel: "If I can, then that sounds wonderful. I'm not here for the highest position in the tourney series. I've gotten my fill there, and it cost me a lot. I'm just here to stir up the ol' pot and enjoy myself"
Bubbly:
"hellll yeahhh"
Raven:
"Good to hear!"
J0rt:
"hell yeah"
J0rt:
"Speaking of the bracket, looks like you two are up against J0hn and Larry first. Any thoughts about that, seeing as they're the other Team Cones power couple?"

Dadandorf: "They are NOT going to break up"
"I was being honest about them fighting though"
"But I wouldn't worry about it too much"
"Fights happen"
"No two people are ever going to be absolutely perfect for one another without that kind of tension"
J0rt:
"honestly after the whole. uh. thing. it might be good for them to work some stuff out"
Bubbly:
"yeah ..."
Dadandorf: "I had it with HamHel"
"Even before That Incident"
"But I've seen those two"
"They care about each other"
"At the end of the day, so long as they remember that, they're gonna be just fine"
"Well, this got off-topic, but have you decided your team name?"
Hammy: "Team Kerfuffle!"
Wonder:
"c-can they get away with that...?"
HamHel: "Since we were the stars of the first ever Kerfuffle"
vivi/vince:
“oh no”
Wonder:
"okay fair"
Bubbly:

"Was that seriously what you were going with?"
Dadandorf: "NO it was not"

"Hamhel is doing this on purpose."
Dadandorf: "We were going to go with Team Old Man Yaoi, he's just being an ass"

Last one of the night.
And considering who it is
I've noticed I do these aside fights for more prominent characters
I can't think of anything more prominent
"Coming up next! A pair of fighters that need no introduction! The power couple of Team Cones, even arguably somehow moreso than what we've seen. Give it up for Larry and Hackerman J0hn!!!!!!!"

Wonder:
"so has j0hn"
"Um....so....how are....things?"
Larry: "Apparently Iggy's opening a burger joint, which sounds pretty sick"
Wonder:
"he is???"
Greenshi:
"Hamhel snitched on you guys fighting"
Bubbly:
"oh??"
J0hn: "I don't think that's what he's talking about, Larry"
Janet:
"i hope piss yoshi isn't involved in that"
Larry: "Well, it's what's on my mind. Think they mean, like, us?"
J0hn: "Yes, I think they mean us."
Larry: "To be fair, you were pretty loud in the green room, I was worried that people were gonna hear"
J0hn: "Oh good, you're starting to actually worry about the consequences of your actions"
Bubbly:

Daylights:
"Larry please put down the shovel"
J0rt:
"y'know i had a bunch of questions lined up but im happy to just watch this go down. though one question i had was 'was crimson a good houseguest' "
J0hn: "Oh yes, you did! Was that before you let Crimson take you over and go missing for god knows how long, or before you perturbed a god of death or whatever the FUCK Cobalt's supposed to be for funsies?"
J0hn: "I've got a lot of patience, Larry. A lot of patience. I just don't want you taking it for granted"
Larry: "I haven't been taking it for granted"
J0hn: "Oh, okay, I believe you now"
Larry: "J0hn"
J0hn: "Larry, I know."
"I know how you are"
"I know that you're a thrill-seeker. I know that you go towards danger and excitement wherever it may lead you"
"But do you know how it feels to see the man you fell in love with age seven years over the course of a few minutes?"
"They say every cell in your body is replaced every seven years. For all I knew you could be a completely different person"
Larry: "But I'm not. For you it was an instant. I had to wait all seven of those years for you, J0hn. And I didn't have a choice! There was...time bullshit there"
J0hn: "So then what about Crimson?"
"Right after you finally live without me for SEVEN YEARS and right after we meet back up, you go missing"
"And I know you just wanted to live out that danger"
Larry: "J0hn, I promise you, I didn't expect to be away from you as long as I was, if I had known, I wouldn't have done it"
J0hn: "Of course you wouldn't have! If you had thought about it for more than two seconds instead of thinking about how much fun it's gonna be to be Crimson Larry!"
Larry: "Hey! Listen, J0hn, if you think this has been rainbows and Tootsie Pops for me, you clearly need to stop thinking about yourself for a minute and actually acknowledge how I might be feeling"
J0hn: "OH! That's rich. You wanna lay out how you've been feeling? Because I have too. Val. Turn on Nelson"
Larry: "Okay, fine!!!!!!"
Larry: Oh, uh...
