4: Surrounded

The better namers are talking to Liy about the increased population of the weird creatures in the forest.

Liy : "Wait so your telling me when X turned their back there was immediately four more of those things?"

TB : "That's about it yea."

Liy : "And they were moving closer?"

TB : "Mhm."

Liy : "Did you see what they looked like?"

"Nope, only X and Tree saw them. The rest of Death P.A.C.T and I were trying to get more answers out of Book but I think you know how that played out."

Liy : Then let's go ask Tree what they looked like!"

GB : "And then what? Out of the small pieces of information we already have it didn't match up with any creature in Goiky!"

TB : "Well maybe there are different versions of those things?"

Basketball : "He's not wrong Golfball, there can be other variations of this creature that could be noted down."

GB : "Fine, let's go back to Tree then."  Liy and the better namers walk away from the bathrooms to go look for tree.

Taco and lollipop are at the benches watching everyone panic

Taco : "What's even going on? I don't get what's happening."

Lollipop : "Neither, but if I get to watch book get yelled at it's worth it."

Taco : "What if it's life threatening?"

Lollipop : "Towards book? I still wouldn't care."

Taco : "No like, for everyone here!"

Lollipop : "Oh, then it definitely wouldn't be worth it. I'm not in the mood to die today."

Taco : "Fair point."

Team Ice cube is by the bathrooms listening to pen as he lazily explains what's going on until they hear a screech followed by the sound of a tree collapsing onto the ground.

Gelatin : "What was that?"

Bomby : "Don't ask me!"

Naily : "It sounded like X... are they dead-"

Donut : "NO!? X is right there running towards us!"

Naily : "...Why?" Before donut could reply they are interrupted by the sound of X panting as they arrive.

Pen : "X what's happeni-"

X : "Those things! They separated and ran off somewhere! But one of them tried to run after me!"

Barf bag : "It WHAT?"

Donut : "What do we do?"

X : "Don't ask me! Just, go gather all the Contestants."

Naily : "We're on it!" Team Ice cube and pen went to gather the other contestants to a safe space.

-

All of the contestants are gathered by the discarded jawbreakers waiting to hear X explain, The mix of shouting and talking in general worries some people as it might trigger the creatures.

TB : "When is X going to start talking, I wanna hear what they have to say."X clears their throat and the cacophony of voices snaps shut immediately.

X : "So... Uhm" X leans over to barf bag, asking if she can explain for them.
