《BFB Voting Thingy》Episode 30: The Truth is Daring
Advertisement
*The scene opens with the full team of Starfruits inside Gelatin's Steakhouse. The team is hosting a celebration for being the only team that hasn't lost a member yet, with Gelatin grilling burgers*
Spongy: I would say we've done a really... great job! We've had lots of, uh, close calls in challenges, but despite that, we've been able to overcome it!
Bubble: Yoy! Spongy is right. We've all done our part to help in the challenges, and that's why we've been so successful as a team!
*The patties Gelatin grills cause a nice aroma to engulf the air* Gelatin: You guys smell that? It's my homemade recipe!
Ruby: Wow! And you're making that all by yourself?
Gelatin: Yep! I took some culinary classes back in the day.
Nickel: I'm more surprised on how you can manage to keep this place open while competing like this. What would happen if you were to get eliminated?
*Gelatin stops for a moment* Gelatin: I never really took that into much consideration. I mean, I was planning to teach Barf Bag... but... you know...
Bomby: I still feel kind of guilty for leaving her like that...
Spongy: Yeah. She doesn't seem to be having that much fun with... Lollipop.
Gelatin: Well, would any of you guys like to help me with the steakhouse?
*Everyone goes quiet after the question, as most of the team does not specialize in cooking... Unexpectedly, someone's hand does come up. *
Nickel: Teardrop???
*Teardrop merely raised her hand as she thought that cooking could just be something to do. She was able to learn new things relatively well, and with the knowledge that it would probably raise her popularity within the team, she held her hand high.*
Match: That, is like, unexpected.
Bubble: Yaya.
Gelatin: Well, if you're so sure... classes start later today!
*Teardrop quietly nodded her head*
Bomby: Enough about cooking! Are the steaks done by now?
Spongy: Yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry.
Gelatin: Oh, hey! They just finished right now! *Gelatin sorts each of the 8 steaks into a burger and serves the food to his team* Eat up!
Match: Like, I have to admit, this food is great!
Bomby: 16/10! AMAZING!
Bubble: We should do this moire! This food is undoubtably scroimptius!
Nickel: Heh, I can't understand a word you're saying!
*While the Starfruits are having a pleasant dining experience, the same cannot be said for the Grapes, who have been put up for elimination for the second time*
Announcer: Is everybody here?
Leafy: It seems like it!
Saw: Yeah... This place gives me bad memories...
Lollipop: What doesn't give you bad memories at this rate?
Saw: Hey!
Puffball: I mean, we all know it's true. You seem to always have something wrong every day. Get that stuff checked out.
Saw: Stop it!!! You guys are so mean!!!
Barf Bag: I think Saw is-
Announcer: We're not here to make Saw's mental state worse. We're here to eliminate one of you. Can we do that?
Puffball: I was listening...
Announcer: Cool. Now let's get into business. We got 34 votes! To my record, that is a new record.
Lollipop: Ha.
Announcer: The prizes today are... vines. Like how grapes have vines? Y'know? Get it?
Taco: Who's safe first?
Announcer: Lollipop. She only got two votes.
Lollipop: Wow. Would you look at that, the tables have turned. I'm safe, but that Barf Bag isn't! It seems the voters have finally gotten their priorities straight.
Barf Bag: ...Are you insane?
Announcer: Saw also got just two votes, too, so she is safe, too!
Puffball: Why did you say too two different times? Too many twos for me to handle...

Saw: Oh, phew. It's nice to know that the viewers are on my side!
Taco: Yeah!
Announcer: Taco is the next one safe with three votes. Here's your vine. *Announcer throws a vine at Taco, with her swiftly catching it.
Taco: That's good. I was getting worried that I wasn't going to be safe.
Lollipop: What a joyous occasion. All three of us are safe, but that Vomit Holder is not. Could this be the miraculous day where our souls are finally relieved from the torment of the Barf Bag?
Barf Bag: I hope I get eliminated, so I don't have to hear your stupid mouth blabber any longer.
Lollipop: I hope you get eliminated too :)
Announcer: The next ones safe are Puffball and Leafy, with both having 5 votes each.
Puffball: Yay. *Puffball eats her vine*
Leafy: That's weird. I thought I would get more.
Announcer: And we have now reached the final two. Barf Bag, and C-
Clock: I can't take this pressure anymore! *Clock promptly steals the remote Announcer was holding and presses a button that reveals the remaining votes. Barf Bag was the final one safe, amassing 6 votes, while Clock was clearly eliminated with 11 votes*
Saw: Well, that was anticlimactic.
Announcer: Thanks for ruining the suspense. *Announcer kicks over the remaining vines to the two safe contestants*
Puffball: Welp, that's over with. *Puffball flies off*
Leafy: I'm so sorry about the loss, Clock. I know this must be hard for you...
...
Leafy: C... Clock? Are you okay?
*Clock sits down in shame, with an eagle-eyed gaze on the screen showing his exile from the game. The rest of the Grapes can only watch as the blue timekeeper silently writhes at his elimination*
Clock: I just wanted... to help...
Taco: Wait, Clock! - *Before Taco can even utter a sentence to the ticking mechanism, Announcer makes him disappear into thin air*
...
Taco: Announcer, what was that for!? I was supposed to give him a speech and everything!
Announcer: I'm tired of all of the melodrama. If you wanted to do a play, you should have joined another show. *The Announcer storms off, which is something he is not known to do*
Leafy: Is he... mad?
Lollipop: Why don't you take a guess, Sherlock.
Barf Bag: I don't feel so great about this... I'm probably gonna leave...
Saw: Yeah. This cake at stake really sucked.
*Balloony rants from the distance* Balloony: Yeah! It sucked because Leafy didn't get out!
Puffball: Hey! Balloony! If you have something to say to Leafy, why don't you say it to her face! *Puffball grumbles as she flies away* Coward.
Balloony: HUH?
Lollipop: Forget him. *Lollipop and the rest of the Grapes departed the elimination area*
Coiny: Woah, Clock got eliminated? I was expecting it... but...
Needle: You know what that means, right Coiny?
Coiny: Huh? What?
Needle: We're the only two Losers left! Remember!? Loser, Cake, Firey, Eggy, Pin, and now Clock!
*Coiny realizes for a moment* Coiny: Woah. That's deep.
Eraser: Us Foodies aren't doing much better. Only 4 of us are left.
Pen: The Death Pacters still have five, so... I guess we aren't doing that bad.
Blocky: Psh, those are rookie numbers. There are still 6 whole better namers left! Right, Tennis Ball? *Blocky grabs Tennis Ball*
Tennis Ball: Uhm, I'd actually like to not associate with that team, if that's alright...? *Tennis Ball lets go of Blocky, and leaves*
Blocky: Okay... Five and a half... But we still have the most members, regardless.
Eraser: What were we talking about again?
Marker: Yeah. I got lost.
Coiny: Well, forget about those old teams. All that matters is that we still have 7 members right now. Right, guys?

Marker: Yeah!
*Needle rolls her eyes* Needle: Sure...
*The announcer walks over to the main contest area, but does not budge, or say anything*
Woody: Woah, what's up with the speakery?
Rocky: Hmph! How do I know?
Woody: Wouldn't he... announce the next challenge or something? He is the Announcer, after all.
Stapy: Good one.
*Rocky is confused by Stapy's sudden appearance* Rocky: Huh?
Woody: Since... when were you here?
Stapy: I was watching the Announcer with you guys. No big deal, right?
*Woody and Rocky look at each other, and both shake their heads* Woody: Yeah...
*The Announcer pulls out a microphone and speaks into it* Announcer: Everyone! Head to the main contest area right now. I have an announcement to make.
Basketball: Huh? What does he want now...
Donut: I don't know, but I think it's important.
Basketball: It's probably the same old "ohh that next challenge is special because we're doing this yada yada blah blah" schtik.
Lightning: Yeah... I just wish there was something new to change up this game! Everything feels so samey now.
Announcer: You want something different, huh?
Lightning: Woah, since when did you get here?
Stapy: That's what I was saying!
Announcer: Welp, no more waiting. Let's get to the twist!
...
*The Announcer was reluctant to announcer the twist, which confused the contestants. Right as the contestants were about to pipe up about their concerns, the Announcer finally spoke. *
Announcer: From now on, the prizes will be replaced by win tokens.
Lightning: Wow, that was actually something different!
TV: Who would've guessed.
Match: But, like, hey! We won the last challenge!
Bubble: What's gonna happen to us? Do we all get win tokens?
Announcer: Uh, no. I'm going to give Teardrop the win token, as she went to the finish line way faster than the rest of you guys.
*The Announcer tosses a win token towards Teardrop's way. She quickly catches it, and a smile grows on her elated face. *
Ruby: Great job, TD!
Nickel: Real great job, alright... *Nickel sharpens his view on Teardrop, who doesn't flinch at his interrogative glance*
Tree: Okay, now that all of those shenanigans are finished, what's the next challenge?
Announcer: I'm glad you asked. This challenge will be a little longer than usual.
*Cloudy groans in annoyance* Cloudy: Another long challenge. Why am I not surprised?
Stapy: Hey, I'm fine with it. There's nothing really to do now that Foldy is gone, so a challenge can give me something fun to do!
Announcer: Alright, alright. So, this challenge will be the classic game of truth or dare!
Eraser: You've got me interested.
Announcer: So, every round, one person will be selected to either reveal a truth or commit a dare. Once that person chooses, another random person will give a truth/dare for the other contestant. If the truther/darer does not comply or fails to do the task right, they are out. However, if the task is completed successfully, the person who asked the task is out. This cycle repeats until one team is fully eliminated. Got it?
Robot Flower: ...What?
Announcer: You'll learn as the challenge goes on.
Bomby: Who's going first?!
Announcer: Well, I guess you can go first.
*Bomby gets confused* Bomby: Wasn't it supposed to be random?
Announcer: Since you asked so politely, I'll make an exception.
Bomby: Epic! I guess I'll go with dare!
Announcer: Cool. The person you'll be facing is... Tree.
*Tree walks up to the stage* Tree: Why, hello, Bomby. Haven't we met before?
*Bomby reluctantly shakes his hand* Bomby: Yeah...?
Tree: Well, I dare you to save someone else's life!
Bomby: Hng, fine! *Bomby lights himself on fire using a spare lighter he has*
Tree: You numbskull! I meant for you to save a life, not end one!
Bomby: That's what I'm doing! *Bomby grabs Teardrop to extinguish the flame right before he combusts. Teardrop rolls her eyes before returning to her seat on the grass* There, you happy!? I saved my own life!
Tree: Well, I guess that counts.
Announcer: Indeed, it does! So, Tree, you're out!
Tree: Welp, let me look in my trusty book to figure out how to handle this! *Tree looks in his book to decide what to do* It says here to, "...rely on Black Hole for this challenge, since you got out." Alright then!
Black Hole: Huh?
Announcer: Let's get into round two!
*Leafy and Nickel both look at each other awkwardly, as the two were not exactly on good terms with each other. Leafy was confused at Nickel's anger, while Nickel was disgruntled as he believed Leafy did not care for him during her time on the team. *
...
*Leafy breaks the silence* Leafy: Well, I choose truth! I'm an honest person.
Nickel: I have one question for you. Why are you so... uncaring?!
Leafy: I am not! I try my hardest to give the utmost care for all of you guys!
*Nickel merely looks at the plant with a face of disappointment, which causes her to give up the act*
Leafy: Okay! Fine! I'm sorry! I get it! You guys are mad about the things I've done! I'm trying to change! I'm trying! I can't do this so fast...
Nickel: Announcer...?
Announcer: She isn't lying.
Nickel: I see. *Nickel walks away from Leafy, not even glancing at her as he accepts his withdrawal from the challenge*
Leafy: If that's how you want to do things, then so be it! Hmph! *Leafy also walks off*
Blocky: Yes, finally! I choose DARE! Because this Blockster is the master of pranks.
Taco: Oh, hey Blocky! I guess I dare you to... uhh... pull a prank on... Pen!
Blocky: Seriously... That's it? *Blocky walks over to Pen*
Pen: Oh, hey Blocky! What are you doing? *Blocky grabs Pen, and throws him down a cliff*
Taco: Hey! That's not a prank, that's just murder! *Pen suddenly appears right in front of Taco, going right up the cliff as he went down* Huh?
Blocky: I secretly put a trampoline right at the bottom of the cliff, so Pen wouldn't die!
Pen: I got totally pranked!!! So crazy!!!
Taco: Haha. Cool. You win. *Taco leaves*
Blocky: Painfully common Blocky W
Pen: Yo, Eraser, did you get that on camera?
Eraser: Yeah.
Lollipop: Great going, Taco! Now we only have 5 members!
Puffball: Yeah! Why did you ask the guy who was good at pranks to pull a prank!?
*Taco pushes her teammates away* Taco: I don't know?! Calm down.
Puffball: Okay, then... Dare, I guess.
Rocky: Bleh! *Rocky vomits on the floor, signaling what Puffball should do*
Puffball: Uh, what? Do you want me to vomit?
Rocky: Mhm!
Puffball: Psh, easy! *Puffball spits out a rainbow-colored liquid on the ground* There, happy?
Woody: Gross!
Rocky: Uh... hmph! Grr... *Rocky knew Puffball would win this round, so he decided to give her an easy question. Sounding mad is just a part of the facade.*
Barf Bag: Good one, Puffy!
Puffball: Thanks.
Saw: Phew, if we keep it up, we might actually win this one! *Saw tries to shake off some of her nervousness*
Announcer: So far, every darer has completed their task. Will this change in round 5?
Lollipop: Well, I'd say... dare. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose.
Lightning: Aha! I got one! Say something good about Barf Bag!
Lollipop: Well, that's impossible. I'm not even going to try.
Lightning: W-what?
Lollipop: You heard me. I'm not going to waste my time doing this. *Lollipop walks off, somehow giving Lightning the win*
Barf Bag: You have to be kidding me. She would rather sacrifice her team's safety than just say one good thing about me?!
Leafy: I tell you, some people.
Lightning: Yes! Team, I won!
Donut: Great job! I guess being a heartless monster is good... sometimes...
TV: What's that supposed to mean
Basketball: Okay, no time to dawdle. Round 6 is next, right?
Blocky: Oh, wow, again? Well, another free W! I'm going with dare!
Match: Oh, like, no! I need to, like, stop him! Hmm... I dare you to, like, punch yourself in the face, like, as hard as possible! *Match facepalms after saying the dare, fully knowing Blocky is capable of doing the task*
