Event 34: Scaring Small Children
Children are terrifying, and therefor it is the duty of adults to scare them right back. Contestants will be faced with a classroom full of first graders, and tasked with making the entire room afraid. However, since this is the fun and games edition, they must do so without inflicting physical harm on the children or otherwise causing actual damage to people or objects associated with the children.
Carmen Sandiego faces a unique challenge here, since the stipulations of the contest render her default skillset moot. Still, she's a creative lady, and could perhaps connive some means to steal their courage or some such.
Chie Satonaka is good at scaring her peers, so she may have some applicable skillset here. On the other hand, she also applied physical violence early on in her campaign of terror, so her ability to follow through on threats was already well established.
Event 35: Atelier Random
Our contestants have been kidnapped by a notorious supervillain and forced to participate in a long-term comedy of errors known as One Year in Al-Revis. Each team of four will form their own workshop and attempt to pass all their classes, survive extra curricular, and walk away with their diplomas. The team with the better combined GPA will win the event.
Luca Blight, Domon Kasshu, Miriel, and Professor Layton make up the first workshop. They have all the tools they need to succeed, although a long term assignment like this does start to play to Luca's weaknesses as a teammate.
The Genie, Archer, Gilgamesh, and Yuri make up their competition. This team slants far to the combat side, making gathering and special events a cinch, but how well they'll handle the alchemy is anyone's guess.
Event 36: Tag Teaming
In a surprisingly literal event, our contestants will pair off into teams of two for a traditional pro-wrestling style tag team matchup. Each team will send one member into the ring, who may tag out as momentum or need dictate, until one team manages to win by pinfall or submission. In the interest of interest, ring-outs will result in simply being warped back into the ring and 'disqualifying' events will simply subject the perpetrator to being tagged out and being unable to tag back in for several minutes.
Our first team is Snake and Ned Flanders. Snake's a known expert in using various holds and CQC in a lethal manner, but presumably they can be adapted to not maiming people. Ned has never displayed a talent for wrestling that I know of, but he is fantastically in shape so it could be a lot worse.
Their opponents are Lily and Bowser. Bowser's a tough nut to crack, but Lily most likely cannot involve Whim in this contest without significant risk of disqualification, meaning Bowser's effectively on his own 95% of the time.
Event 37: Playing Cupid
Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match~ For maximum whatthefuckery, our cupids will be tasked with causing a successful and healthy hookup in a spectacularly disfunctional pseudo-relationship. In separate and simultaneous universes of course, because interferance or building upon the work of their opponent just wouldn't be sporting.
So yeah, this match is dropping the E bomb. Contestants will be required to make a successful and healthy relationship bloom between Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu.
Captain Steve Rogers and Attorney Athena Cykes reporting for duty.
