Follow the adventures that our contestants will embark on today as they struggle to make the most captivating art in return for immunity.
OPENING ANIMATION
EXT. MAKESHIFT COFFEE SHOP - DAY
Triangle and Oval are sitting down on chairs, talking to each other outside a fake coffee shop that was established overnight, after the Shapeoff 1 contest happened. This is the morning after the Shapeoff 1 contest.
TRIANGLE
(to Oval)
So what exactly are you talking about?
OVAL
… It’s just that he’s such a clever child. I’m not a stalker or anything, but I can’t help but notice how… exciting he is. As a person.
TRIANGLE
I’m not following.
OVAL
I’m just saying that maybe I could finally make a new friend.
TRIANGLE
Why haven’t you made some new ones already after what happened? … Besides me. I mean, we’re all stuck in the same class for most of the day.
OVAL
I-I don’t know, I just don’t want to have to lose…
There is a pause for a couple of seconds. Oval stops talking, as if Triangle knows what he’s referencing.
TRIANGLE
But you still talk to me…?
OVAL
You’re the only one that really supported me during that time. And even if we didn’t really talk for a while, until now-
Pentagon runs towards Triangle and Oval, which catches both off guard.
PENTAGON
Hey Oval! Triangle!
OVAL
Hey Pentagon, what’s up?
PENTAGON
It just occurred to me… Circle’s not here, so I can’t turn in my homework! I was hoping one of you two would know where to go, because, well, you guys are the oldest people in the class.
Oval and Triangle look at each other for a moment.
OVAL
I mean… we’re not really in school anymore. The school is blown up, thanks to a CERTAIN SOMEONE…
Oval glares at Triangle.
TRIANGLE
Wh- HUH?? But I- I didn’t even-
Triangle’s at a loss for words.
PENTAGON
Oh. Well then what should I do?
TRIANGLE
I mean, you can hang with us-
Host suddenly appears as he breaks down the door to the fake coffee shop.
HOST
No time for hanging, it’s time for the challenge!
Host snaps his fingers, which teleports everyone to him. Hexagon is still sleeping. She eventually wakes up.
HEXAGON
What? Huh? Challenge already?
RECTANGLE
Yeah, I thought we were going to start at the same time as when we first met?
HOST
Don’t worry, I won’t wake you guys up this early all the time, it’s just we need all the time we can get for this one!
TRIANGLE
How so?
HOST
Simply put, the challenge is to make the best piece of art!
Host pulls out the RANDOMIZER 2000.
HOST
This time, you’ll be working together in groups of three to make the best artwork! The team with the worst work of art will be up for voting tonight!
RHOMBUS
Um, how exactly is this going to take the whole day, hmm? I mean surely you’re going to provide the supplies-
HOST
That’s the twist! I’m not going to provide anything! You guys have to gather materials and make it from scratch!
OCTAGON
Then how are we going to make anything?
HOST
That’s for you to decide! Anyways, without further ado, let’s see what the teams will be!
Host presses the button on the RANDOMIZER 2000 to start picking the pairs.
RANDOMIZER 2000
Hexagon. Octagon. Trapezoid.
The three look at each other.
OCTAGON
(grumpy)
I don’t know what to feel about the team I’m in.
RANDOMIZER 2000
Square. Rectangle. Rhombus.
RECTANGLE
Looks like we’re together sis!
SQUARE
Uh, yeah…!
RECTANGLE
Are you still mad at me from yesterday?
SQUARE
Wh- no, it’s just-
RECTANGLE
(cutting off Square)
Oh okay! I couldn’t sleep easily thinking that you were still mad.
RHOMBUS
Great. I’m with these… children.
RECTANGLE
And what’s that supposed to mean?
RHOMBUS
I don’t have to answer to you. Let’s just get this challenge over with, shall we?
INT. CONFESSIONAL ROOM - DAY
RECTANGLE
Ugh! Rhombus is so annoying. She’s so full of herself for literally no reason. The things I would do to not talk to her ever again…
EXT. MAKESHIFT COFFEE SHOP - DAY
TRIANGLE
(to Oval)
Well would you look at that, Oval! Us AND Pentagon are a team!
PENTAGON
I guess we’re in the same group as last time, Oval! Nice to meet you again!
OVAL
It’s nice to meet you again too, Pentagon.
PENTAGON
And also to you Triangle!
TRIANGLE
Yep! Hopefully I- I mean WE’LL win this time.
Triangle gets a sudden flashback of when Hexagon bombed her.
PENTAGON
Okay, well, I’ll get Mr. The Host to-
HOST
No need, Pentagon, because the CHALLENGE! STARTS! NOW!!!
The “now” was so hard it shook the entirety of the Shapelands, and the same thing happens in Shapeoff 1; The camera zooms out and there is a big tower in the distance, with someone looking at where the voice is coming from.
INT. TOP OF MYSTERIOUS TOWER - DAY
This entire scene does not show who the unknown character is. It only shows the circular shape (sitting on a couch).
UNKNOWN
(to a circular Shape)
Do you know what’s happening down there?
CIRCULAR SHAPE
I’m not sure.
UNKNOWN
Go down and try to join them. I have a suspicion that they may be a threat.
CIRCULAR SHAPE
Of course. It’s a long way, though. It may take a few days.
UNKNOWN
I think we have enough time. Good luck.
The circular shape gets up from the couch and gets in an elevator heading down to the lobby.
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - DAY
HOST
The challenge ends at sundown, everyone! Have fun!
They all walk away from Host to start the challenge.
PENTAGON
Alright, team! Where do you think we should go to gather materials for our art?
OVAL
Hm… Maybe we should split up to get as much materials as possible.
TRIANGLE
Oh! This may be a stretch, but I think going to the fast food place I work at may get us some unique media.
PENTAGON
I can go to the school! Sure it’s probably completely destroyed, but we can use any scraps we find there!
OVAL
Well I don’t have anywhere else to go, so I’ll just go with you, Pentagon.
Triangle smiles at Oval.
TRIANGLE
Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!
The three shapes embark on their journey for materials.
Somewhere else in Harassment Hills, Rhombus, Rectangle, and Square are debating on what they should do.
RHOMBUS
The host of this game is cruel to not provide any of the necessary supplies to make art. If he will not provide them, then we must make it ourselves.
RECTANGLE
(sassy)
And how do we do that?
Rhombus is seen on her phone for a second.
RHOMBUS
Well lucky for you, I have the ingredients for paint. I searched it up two seconds ago.
RECTANGLE
What are the ingredients?
RHOMBUS
We just have to get flour, water, and salt, but the instructions are really complex.
RECTANGLE
What is… “water”…?
RHOMBUS
I’ll find a way to get that. You and Square focus on getting the flour and salt. We meet back here before sundown.
RECTANGLE
I can’t believe I’m going to follow YOUR directions, but I guess I have to. Let’s go, Square!
The three venture off.
The last group are brainstorming on what to do.
HEXAGON
Hear me out you two, bombs are a work of art, so how about we-
OCTAGON
(cutting Hexagon off)
And that’s enough from you, moving on…
HEXAGON
No, wait, maybe the Host will like a new, never seen before bomb! Remember how he endorsed bombs yesterday?
OCTAGON
Hold up, hold up, maybe Trapezoid has a better idea!
The two look at Trapezoid.
TRAPEZOID
(silence)
HEXAGON
I see where you’re going Trapezoid, but that’ll take ages! We’ll be done making a new bomb by sundown!
OCTAGON
Okay, how about this. We all get our own things and make our own art, and let’s decide which one is the best.
HEXAGON
Sounds good to me! What about you, Trapezoid?
Trapezoid blinks once.
HEXAGON
Alright, well I’m going to go make my bomb now.
OCTAGON
I’ll find something. See you guys later.
The three split off to go do their own thing.
A montage occurs as Triangle goes through the treacherous journey to get to her workplace, McCircle’s.
Triangle is getting across a deep ravine by balancing on a really thin piece of wood.
Triangle goes to an alleyway and picks up a bag of white powder.
Triangle sprinkles the white powder on a gigantic stone wall, which makes it elevate.
EXT. MCCIRCLE'S - DAY
After doing all this, Triangle finally sees the McCircle’s.
TRIANGLE
Alright, now it’s time to get a [WHAT SHOULD A BIG MAC BE CALLED]
Triangle walks into the restaurant.
INT. MCCIRCLE'S - DAY
MCCIRCLES WORKER
Hello, welcome to McCircle’s, how can I help- Oh! Triangle! Where have you been?
TRIANGLE
Uh, I was, um, too caught up in homework! Yeah!
The worker hears footsteps coming from the kitchen. This startles them.
MCCIRCLES WORKER
But y-you have to leave now! You know what happens-
The manager walks into the scene. Triangle starts sweating.
MCCIRCLES MANAGER
Oh, Triangle. You missed-
TRIANGLE
(cutting manager off)
Yes, I know I skipped a workday, but can you cut me some slack? I’m in a competition to get to own the entirety of the Shapelands!
MCCIRCLES MANAGER
I’m sorry, but you know what happens.
TRIANGLE
No… Please…!
The manager pulls a lever that is behind them.
TRIANGLE
You gotta give me another ch- AHHHHHHHhhhh!!!
A trapdoor opens below Triangle and she falls down, her voice getting quieter as she screams. The trapdoor closes.
MCCIRCLES MANAGER
Wait, did she say that she was competing to own the Shapelands?
MCCIRCLES WORKER
I think so!
The two laugh it off like it was just a funny excuse.
INT. DARK PIT UNDER MCCIRCLE'S - DAY
Triangle turns on her phone’s flashlight, which makes Triangle visible.
TRIANGLE
Hello? Anyone there?
Footsteps are heard. They get louder until a shape with nine sides, a nonagon, is visible. They look like they have been stuck down here for a long time. Triangle gasps to the sight of this.
EXT. DESTROYED SCHOOL - DAY
PENTAGON
Yay! We’re finally here!
OVAL
Jeez, Hexagon must’ve gotten really powerful bombs to do this much damage.
They walk into the wreckage.
OVAL
All that’s left are burnt pieces of metal.
PENTAGON
Wait, Oval! We can make art USING the scraps of metal!
OVAL
That’s a great idea! Let’s get some loose pieces!
They start picking up scraps of metal. Flash forward to when they’re balancing heaps of metal in their hands.
PENTAGON
Is this enough?
OVAL
Yeah, I think so. Let’s head back to drop all this off.
They start walking while carefully balancing the metal. However, Hexagon appears out of nowhere to greet them.
HEXAGON
Hey, you two! How’s it goin’?
OVAL AND PENTAGON
Aah!
Hexagon’s greeting startles the two and they both fall over with all the metal falling on top of them. There are a ton of metal clanking noises as the piles crush them.
HEXAGON
Um… are you guys okay?
There is no response.
HEXAGON
Uh… Good to know!
Hexagon looks around to see if anyone is watching. There is no one around. She giggles and starts to dig them out.
HEXAGON
(as she’s digging the bodies out)
You know I WAS going to get scrap metal for a bomb, but two dead bodies are WAY better!
INT. FOREST - DAY
OCTAGON
Yup. It was a GREAT idea going into a creepy forest that smells like poop for materials.
Octagon treks deeper into the forest. He soon finds a small wooden hut. Octagon enters the hut and finds a lamp.
OCTAGON
Really? Just a lamp?
Octagon sees if there is anyone looking (why would there be)?
Octagon grabs the lamp and rubs it with his feet and a magical genie comes out of it. The genie looks like the ghost of a decagon.
DECAGON
It is I, Decagon! I shall grant you- why are you looking at me like that?
Octagon is shocked and motionless.
DECAGON
Um… I shall grant you three wishes! And… yeah.
Octagon is still silent.
DECAGON
Nevermind. Send someone else that’s more… eventful, will ya?
Decagon goes back into the lamp. Octagon shakes his head and snaps back to reality.
OCTAGON
What the heck was that?!
INT. CONFESSIONAL ROOM - DAY
OCTAGON
I thought we were going to make art, not find magical relics in the middle of a forest! … But it may impress the Host…
EXT. SHAPEWAY - DAY
Square and Rectangle have arrived at the Safeway of the Shapelands, Shapeway.
RECTANGLE
Well Square, we may be a BIT young, but I think we’re capable of shopping for flour and salt!
They enter the Shapeway.
INT. SHAPEWAY - DAY
SQUARE
I guess… I’ll get the salt and you get the flour?
RECTANGLE
Sure! Let’s meet outside once we’re done, ‘kay?
SQUARE
Mhm.
They split off and find the ingredients.
INT. FLOUR AISLE - DAY
RECTANGLE
Hmm… Maybe I should call Rhombus to see what she’s doing. Can’t hurt to check!
Rectangle pulls out her phone and calls her. While Rhombus talks, it shows her in the… soup store?
RHOMBUS
Hello?
RECTANGLE
Hey Rhombus. Where are you?
RHOMBUS
I’m trying to find the water.
RECTANGLE
Oh alright. Any luck?
RHOMBUS
No… I can’t really find any. There’s only soup.
RECTANGLE
What do you mean “there’s only soup”?
RHOMBUS
I mean there’s only soup.
RECTANGLE
Wh- Are you in a soup aisle or something? Get out of it!
RHOMBUS
Jeez, you don’t have to yell!
Rhombus moves out of that aisle, into another one.
RHOMBUS
There’s more soup!
RECTANGLE
What do you mean “there’s MORE SOUP”???
RHOMBUS
There’s just more soup!
RECTANGLE
Go into the next aisle!
Rhombus goes into another aisle.
RHOMBUS
There’s still soup!
RECTANGLE
Where are you right now??
RHOMBUS
I’m at soup!
RECTANGLE
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE “AT SOUP”?!
RHOMBUS
I MEAN I’M AT SOUP!!
RECTANGLE
WHAT STORE ARE YOU IN?!
RHOMBUS
I’M AT THE SOUP STORE!!
RECTANGLE
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’LL GET WHATEVER “WATER” IS AT THE SOUP STORE?!??!?
RHOMBUS
JUST… NEVERMIND!
Rhombus hangs up the phone.
SQUARE
Uhh… Rectangle…?
Rectangle realizes she’s still in the flour aisle.
SQUARE
I already got the salt… I was going to wait outside but I saw you screaming at your phone here.
RECTANGLE
Umm… Yeah, let's get flour now.
INT. DARK PIT UNDER MCCIRCLE'S - DAY
TRIANGLE
N-Nonagon…? This is where you’ve been all this time?
NONAGON
Yep. I skipped one day… ONE DAY! I had to attend the funeral we were at! I thought they would understand, but all they said was “you know what happens now”, and dumped me in here. Thankfully you weren’t working at this joint… But I guess you are now… or, at least… was…
TRIANGLE
So, judging by how long you’ve been in here, you don’t know a way out?
NONAGON SIGHS
TRIANGLE
B-but I have to get out! I’m competing for control of the Shapelands! I can’t just be dis-
NONAGON
(confused)
What?
TRIANGLE
I signed up for a reality show. The grand prize is full control over all the Shapelands. I didn’t believe it at first, but the Host has magical powers. He can teleport, hear really well, and pull things out of thin air!
NONAGON
Man… I wish I could also play but… you know…
Triangle looks up with a determined expression.
TRIANGLE
Well I’m not giving up easy! Let’s see if there’s any stuff in here that can get us out!
Triangle instantly starts to search for items. Nonagon also searches, but depressingly.
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - DAY
Hexagon is the first of her group and the rest of the contestants to arrive back at Harassment Hills. As she’s entering the hills, she’s carrying two black trash bags with something in them.
HEXAGON
Huh. Nobody’s back yet. Well I guess it won’t hurt to decorate these bodies!
Hexagon takes the bodies out of the trash bags and starts to “decorate” them.
HEXAGON
(deviously)
I just hope the Host is dumb enough to think these are just hyper-realistic sculptures!
Host suddenly teleports right next to Hexagon. This causes her to gasp and shield the dead bodies so Host won’t see them.
HOST
Sorry I just heard someone say my name close by so I thought everyone was already back but I guess it’s just you!
HEXAGON
(nervous)
Haha… Yeah…!
HOST
So how’s it coming along?
Host sees the trash bags next to Hexagon.
HOST
Ooh! Are these trash bags going to be part of your artwork?
HEXAGON
Er… Uh…
HOST
Well I don’t want to bother you any longer. Can’t wait for the final product!
Host snaps to teleport away. Hexagon breathes a sigh of relief.
INT. CONFESSIONAL ROOM - DAY
HEXAGON
Good thing the Host didn’t see the bodies. Now I just have to hope the Host thinks they’re hyper-realistic sculptures during judging… Maybe more decoration would do it. … Also… The Host’s name is just… HOST????
INT. FOREST - DAY
Octagon is carrying the genie lamp on his head while walking through the forest.
OCTAGON
Maybe this lamp thing is enough. Besides, Hexagon and Trapezoid are probably cooking up something better anyways.
Someone in a cloak appears in front of Octagon.
OCTAGON
Uh, hi?
CLOAKED SHAPE
Hello, Octagon.
OCTAGON
Wh- How do you know my name?
CLOAKED SHAPE
… Anyways, I’m a reality show inspector. I assume that you’re currently competing in a reality show?
OCTAGON
Um, yeah.
CLOAKED SHAPE
What is the prize if you win?
OCTAGON
Honestly, I forgot.
CLOAKED SHAPE
… What? Then why are you competing?
OCTAGON
I have nothing better to do. Our school is completely demolished.
CLOAKED SHAPE
… Thank you for your time.
The cloaked shape walks into the darkness.
OCTAGON
Happy to help.
EXT. SHAPEWAY - AFTERNOON
Square and Rectangle have the flour and salt they need. They’re outside the Shapeway heading back to Harassment Hills.
RECTANGLE
Okay, we have our things, but I think I have to call Rhombus again and make sure she’s not in a soup store.
Rectangle pulls out her phone and calls Rhombus.
RHOMBUS
(from the phone)
What.
RECTANGLE
Do you have the water? We’re coming back now.
RHOMBUS
Uh- um… Yes. I have the water.
RECTANGLE
Alrighty then.
Rectangle hangs up.
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - AFTERNOON
Rectangle, Square, Rhombus, Octagon, and Trapezoid arrive back at Harassment hills at about the same time. Triangle is stuck in the pit below McCircle’s and Oval and Pentagon are dead and are being used as artwork.
OCTAGON
I’m back, Hexagon!
Trapezoid is also there.
HEXAGON
I see that, but it’s sad that your things are not going to be used.
OCTAGON
And what makes you say that?
HEXAGON
Because I’ve got THESE!
Hexagon takes off a white cover, revealing the… “artwork” beneath. The dead bodies of Oval and Pentagon decorated like they’re going in a casket used in an open-coffin funeral.
OCTAGON
… What the-
HEXAGON
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Octagon is in utter shock thinking that they are actually real bodies. Trapezoid is also looking but displays no emotion.
OCTAGON
Are those…?
HEXAGON
Real?? NO! I’m not a monster! I just… decided that making hyper-realistic sculptures of Oval and Pentagon would be better than making a new bomb!
OCTAGON
But you said…
HEXAGON
That the Host would like it? Well he would like these better! It’s a perfect work of art! … Unless Trapezoid has something better.
TRAPEZOID
(silence)
HEXAGON
Well since Trapezoid doesn’t have anything better and it seems like you don’t have anything, we’re just going to use mine!
OCTAGON
Um…
Octagon throws the lamp on his head back so then Hexagon couldn’t see it (how has she not seen it already???).
OCTAGON
Yeah.
In another place in Harassment Hills, Rhombus, Rectangle, and Square have their ingredients and Rhombus is on her phone looking at the instructions.
RECTANGLE
So what do we do?
RHOMBUS
Oh wait. We need something to put the ingredients in.
Rhombus thinks for a second.
RHOMBUS
Okay, this may be a stretch, but we can use the container that the s- water is stored in.
RECTANGLE
But the water is already in there.
RHOMBUS
Then we have to get the water out. Let me put it in your hands.
RECTANGLE
What???
RHOMBUS
Just do it!
Rhombus puts the “water” in Rectangle’s hands… (It’s actually just soup)
RECTANGLE
So this is what water looks like.
RHOMBUS
(nervously)
Yep…!
INT. DARK PIT BELOW MCCIRCLE'S - AFTERNOON
Triangle and Nonagon continue to search for any items but find literally nothing. Triangle is still using her phone flashlight.
TRIANGLE
I don’t think there’s anything down here…
NONAGON
NOW you’re starting to think that, huh?
TRIANGLE
… I guess it’s useless then.
Triangle’s phone dies. They get put into total darkness again. Triangle lets out a sigh.
TRIANGLE
Our best bet now is to wait for someone to get us out.
NONAGON
Like that’s ever gonna happen.
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - BEFORE SUNDOWN
Hexagon, Octagon, and Trapezoid are finishing up the dead body “art”. The bodies are, however, not shown.
HEXAGON
Alright team, I think Host will like this!
OCTAGON
… Anything else you want us to do?
HEXAGON
Hmm… Nope! Besides, it’s almost sundown anyways.
Rhombus, Rectangle, and Square are struggling to make paint. Square looks at the Sun, finding out that it is almost sundown.
SQUARE
It’s almost sundown!
Square turns around and Rhombus and Rectangle have made an absolute MESS. Rectangle has soup all over herself and Rhombus is frantically mixing the ingredients in the “water” can.
SQUARE
Do you guys think you can finish the art in time?
RECTANGLE
We’re trying our best!!!
RHOMBUS
We don’t even have the paint done!
SQUARE
Uhmmm…
Square looks back at the Sun.
SQUARE
I think we have a bit of time left-
The Sun swiftly sets like someone just sped the video up by 5x. Square’s reaction is priceless.
RHOMBUS
… Oh no.
The Host teleports in between the two teams.
HOST
And it’s sundown! That means time is up, everyone!
Rhombus continues to stir.
HOST
I said, time’s up!
Rhombus stirs even faster and faster…
Host snaps his fingers, which teleports Rhombus away from the can. Rhombus freezes up and faceplants the ground in sorrow.
INT. CONFESSIONAL ROOM - SUNDOWN
RECTANGLE
… We’re screwed.
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - SUNDOWN
HOST
Alright… So without further ado, who wants to be judged first?
HEXAGON
Us!
Camera pans to Hexagon’s team. Their art is covered with a white cloth.
HOST
Okay, show me what you got!
HEXAGON
If you say so!
Hexagon pulls off the cloth covering their art, which reveals the dead bodies of Oval and Pentagon in coffins, decorated like an open-coffin funeral.
Host is in complete shock.
HOST
… Are those…?
HEXAGON
Yeah you stupid idiot, of course they’re re- NO THEY’RE NOT! What monster would harvest the rotting corpses of their friends and use them to win a challenge?! They’re just hyper-realistic sculptures! … Right guys…?
Hexagon looks at Octagon and Trapezoid.
OCTAGON
Uh… I think so…?
Trapezoid blinks twice.
HOST
Ahh, I see!
Host walks over to take a closer look.
HOST
(as he’s looking at the dead bodies)
You know, I always heard that there are some talented people out there that could make art with this much realism, but I never knew that one of my contestants was one of those talented people!
HEXAGON
(nervously)
I mean… It was a group effort, but with my expertise, we made it as real-looking as it can possibly get!
Octagon and Hexagon look visibly nervous. Trapezoid displays no expression.
HOST
Well, uh, yeah! I see the effort put into this! I’ll give it a 9 out of 10!
HEXAGON & OCTAGON
Phew.
HOST
I guess next is Triangle, Oval, and Pentagon!
Camera pans over to… nothing. Triangle, Oval, and Pentagon are nowhere to be seen.
HOST
Um… Where ARE Triangle, Oval, and Pentagon?
Hexagon starts to silently panic. Octagon takes note of this.
HOST
Oh!! I see! You guys are presenting abstract art!
Hexagon is relieved but also confused.
HOST
Honestly, I’ve never understood abstract art, but nevertheless I still appreciate the work you guys put in. I’ll give you guys a solid 6/10.
OCTAGON
WHAT-
HEXAGON
(shushing Octagon)
Shh… We’re still guaranteed to be safe.
HOST
Okay, last but not least, Rhombus, Rectangle… and… Square…
Host is silently horrified by what is going on. Rectangle is still covered in soup, Square is on the ground sobbing, and Rhombus is holding the can of “paint”.
HOST
Do you guys have anything…?
RECTANGLE
Uhh… UMM…
Rectangle swiftly picks up the can of “paint” and presents it as their “art”.
RECTANGLE
You see, uh, we wanted to make a unique form of… art… in the form of… food…?
HOST
… So you’re saying this is edible?
RECTANGLE
Yeah…! Give it a try…! (please help me)
HOST
Okay…
Host grabs it and takes a sip… Rectangle and Rhombus watch in horror but at the same time are hoping that the Host would enjoy it.
Host immediately spits it out after having it in his mouth for a split second.
HOST
(# indicates bleep)
EW!!! What the f### is this b###s###?! This is THE worst thing I have ever put in my f###### mouth!
HOST
(while Rectangle and Rhombus stare at Host knowing that they screwed up)
Piece of s############################################################################
INT. CONFESSIONAL ROOM - SUNDOWN
HEXAGON
You know, I WAS worried that the Host would find out and we would get a bad score, but not anymore!!!
EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS - SUNDOWN
Host chucks the can of “paint” at Rectangle, drenching her in the weird second grade lunch concoction.
HOST
You can have that back… Uhh… negative two out of ten. Which means that Rhombus, Rectangle, and Square are up for elimination! Step into the voting booth to-
HEXAGON
Hold up, the Host, can we at least get some downtime before we vote? To discuss who we should vote for and stuff like that?
HOST
I mean, if you guys want!
EXT. VOTING AREA - NIGHT
OCTAGON
Personally, I think it’s obvious who we’re gonna vote for.
HEXAGON
Yeah, Rectangle and Square didn’t do anything wrong.
OCTAGON
And Rhombus is just straight up annoying. What do you think, Trapezoid?
Trapezoid blinks.
OCTAGON
It’s good that you’re on board. Now we just have to hope that Rectangle and Square are on board as well…
RHOMBUS
(to Rectangle and Square)
Alright, I have to admit, I did mess up a little bit. If you guys vote for me, I understand.
RECTANGLE
You know, at the beginning of this challenge, I thought you were just an annoying brat, but you were really helpful and a good leader. I don’t want to vote for you, so I’ll vote myself.
SQUARE
I’ll also vote for myself.
RHOMBUS
Thanks, you didn’t have to do that…
Host teleports in front of them during this sentimental moment.
HOST
Seems like you guys made your mind on who you’re going to vote for! Once you want to, you can go into the voting booth and write down your vote!
The contestants go in one by one and enter their vote.
HOST
Alright, well, it seems like Triangle, Oval, and Pentagon are still nowhere to be seen, so we only have six votes to go off of.
Host shuffles the votes and starts reading them.
HOST
First vote, Rhombus.
HOST
Second vote, Rhombus.
HOST
Third vote, Rhombus. If one more vote is for Rhombus, then she is guaranteed to be eliminated.
Rectangle and Square look at each other then at Rhombus. Rhombus looks back at them with a content smile.
Octagon deviously awaits for the fourth vote.
HOST
Fourth vote… Rhombus. Rhombus is now guaranteed to be eliminated tonight.
OCTAGON
YES!!!
Everyone looks at Octagon.
OCTAGON
… My bad.
HOST
Fifth vote, Square.
HOST
Sixth and final vote, Rectangle.
Rhombus gets up and prepares a speech.
RHOMBUS
I hate to admit it, but I believe that I deserve my elimination tonight.
OCTAGON
Wow, shocker.
RHOMBUS
Shut up. Anyways, I just want to apologize for my… rather annoying behavior. I was so confident that I was going to win that I didn’t even focus on… well, winning! I would also like to apologize to Rectangle and Square. They have been really helpful in this challenge and it was not fair for me to make fun of them at the start of it. And yeah. That’s my parting speech, I guess.
Rectangle and Square smile.
OCTAGON
Heh, it wasn’t even that long-
HEXAGON
Bro can you shut up??
RHOMBUS
Now that that’s done, I’m ready to go, Mr. Host!
HOST
Okay, goodbye!
CLAP OF DOOM (really dramatic, though)
Host snaps to teleport Rhombus away.
HOST
Told ya guys that the challenge would take the whole day!
RECTANGLE
We didn’t even finish!
HOST
Wh- I thought that…
RECTANGLE
Nah, that was supposed to be paint. The entire day we searched for flour, salt, and water to mix into paint.
HOST
And you made me EAT IT?!
RECTANGLE
I panicked, okay?!
HOST
Well, for clarification, that was NOT flour, salt and water. It oddly tasted like… soup.
RECTANGLE
Wh- RHOMBUS SAID IT WAS WATER!!!
Camera zooms out and Rectangle’s voice echos. The camera rises into the night sky, where the credits will roll.

EXT. HARASSMENT HILLS (POST CREDITS SCENE) - MIDNIGHT
Oval and Pentagon still lay lifeless in coffins up until this point, where Oval casually wakes up and takes off all the ridiculous stuff Hexagon’s team put on him.
OVAL
Ew. I am NEVER staying dead for that long EVER AGAIN.
Pentagon also wakes up and takes off the stuff.
PENTAGON
We didn’t even get to do the challenge!
OVAL
Well hey, at least none of us got eliminated.
PENTAGON
I guess you’re right. Wait, speaking of US, where’s Triangle? She wasn’t there during judging or elimination!
OVAL
She probably just got carried away. She’ll be back by tomorrow.
The two start walking away from the scene.
INT. DARK PIT UNDER MCCIRCLE'S (POST CREDITS SCENE) - MIDNIGHT
Triangle and Nonagon are just sitting there in the darkness. Triangle lets out a depressing sigh as she falls back and lays down on the hard pavement.
