I’m at a point where I have multiple stories started but I don’t know what to finish first, and I don’t know what to write first after that. I need to get over the “my first major film of the year hump. I’ve realized that’s a big hump, and once I get a major film posted, the rest of my writing and posting becomes easier because I’ve gotten back in the groove. I’ve been very busy with jobs and internships but I’m confident I can post some more films in Y10 without having to cancel too many.

@Hiccup23 Thank you for your posts; however, in the future, please refrain from posting film information in the submission thread until your plot summaries are ready to be posted alongside it. This rule was added in order to prevent players from cluttering submissions threads with films that go on to remain unfinished. Films posted without their plots would normally be disqualified, but since you may not have known about the new-ish rule, I will make exceptions for Room 131 and Giovanni as long as all of the posted information (maybe besides the release dates) does not change—so no director switching or recasting beyond this point. And please do not edit the plot summaries once you post them. The other players would likely agree that this was the best place to share this reminder, but I do apologize to all players for choosing to use a submission thread space to share this reminder, as I am now cluttering the submission thread myself. Nevertheless, I will add those films to the calendar soon, but they will not be highlighted green until their plot summaries are posted. And @Hiccup23, please tag me in the Y10 discussion thread when you add the plot summaries. Thank you!

Disclaimer: some song covers chosen for thematic purposes.
Pauline: Welcome to my recording studio! Whoever records the best cover version of their favorite song wins immunity. Who would like to go first?
Goldenhour36: This one's for Morieris!
Goldenhour36 consumes two red mushrooms and performs "The Time Is Now," the John Cena song.
Goldenhour36: Duh duh-nuh duuuuuuuhn!
Agafin: Who's this song by again?
Goldenhour36: JOHN CENA!
Agafin: I mean, who's the rapper?
Goldenhour36: AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!
Agafin: Okay.
Pauline: Wow! That'll be hard to top! Who's next?
Fancyarcher: I better my all into it!
Fancyarcher sings "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals.
DAJK: I like the 90s vibes.
Fancyarcher: Me too.
elcaballero: Well there's a new Spider-Verse out there, so on that note:
elcaballero covers "Sunflower."
Then we get a montage where...
Rorschach covers "Sept. 16th" by Kid Cudi...
Jack Sparrow covers Yo Ho Ho A Pirate's Life For Me...
and Agafin swings for the fences, singing "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Michael Bolton, but his voice keeps cracking.
DAJK: My cover's for a friend of mine... So I can say I'm sorry in a creative way!
DAJK sings "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain. From the look of things, Rorschach appreciates it!

The Dark Alfred: Not quite. This time I'm singing...
"Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley... with a Red Mushroom!
Jack Sparrow: Wow, that was a characteristic song choice!
Rorschach: Welp, underdog. You're the last one.
Asyulus: It's time to knock your socks off!
Asyulus's cover is elaborate.
First he turns on the club music from John Wick Chapter 4.
Then he pulls out the same glock from Episode 7.
Random goons and dancers burst into the recording studio.
Asyulus fights the goons while the dancers dance.
Rorschach: That... was not the assignment.

Plot Summary (1.5k words)
SpoilerFade in on a suburb and dolly in on a two-story house. Young Drew Madden wakes up at midnight and sneaks downstairs for a late-night snack. He makes it to the first floor but stops and sees that his parents are in the living room, talking about financial woes. Drew sneaks to the fridge and grabs a handful of strawberries but closes the door a smidge too loud and alerts his parents. He turns off all the downstairs lights to make himself less visible. Thinking a burglar’s in the house, the parents grab flashlights and start walking up and down the hallways, trying to find the culprit. He hides behind a dresser while the dad is five feet away shining the flashlight around, and the dad almost catches him, but Drew gets lucky, and the dad walks on.
Drew sneaks to the staircase, but right before the first step, he drops every strawberry. He tries picking them up, and that’s when the parents turn the lights on. “Busted,” says the mom. “Nice try,” says the dad. The parents lecture Drew, saying that he could’ve just asked for strawberries, and that in life, you should always help others before yourself. “Okay,” says Drew. They share the strawberries and have a nice family moment.
Fast forward about twenty years later as Drew (Davidson), an aimless 20-something, works a part-time job at Pizza Hut (of all places), where his managers and co-workers keep piling on tasks for him to complete, and he goes from making a pizza to mopping to fixing the ice machine, and all the while he’s like “ah guys my hands are a little full here.” At the end of the day, the boss pulls him aside and says, “Sorry Drew but due to poor productivity we have to let you go.” Drew protests but the boss says the decision’s due to corporate policy.
Of course, when Drew’s grumbling to himself in the parking lot, the boss runs out and tells him, “Hey listen, we made a mistake and meant to fire someone else.” Drew slowly drives out of the lot because he’s like, “no, you fired me, so I guess I’ll just leave.” They banter back and forth until Drew finally drives away.
Drew grumbles to himself as he drives, telling himself he “didn’t really like that job anyway.” He peers out at the restaurants and retail stores on the side of the road and decides to ask for a new part-time job on the fly. He points at each business and says “eenie, meenie, miney, moe” until he gets to “I… Pick… You.” The “you” lands on a grocery store, one of those fancy organic ones akin to Trader Joe’s. Its name is Pac-Mart!
Drew walks in, finds the store manager Mrs. Tan (Chau), and asks for a part-time job. Mrs. Tan runs through a list of available positions, but they’re all taken—well, all except one. It’s the late-night security position, and Mrs. Tan warns Drew that she can’t find a reliable worker to keep the job because everyone else abandons it after just one shift. Because of this, Mrs. Tan is now desperate to hire just about anyone in the security position, even if they resemble Mevino from the Spark movies (a jokey dig at Drew’s appearance, to which he replies, “I can see that.”) Drew promises Mrs. Tan that he won’t abandon his post, so she replies, “report back at 10:00 PM!”
We get a scene of Drew’s apartment life (his mom calls to check in, and he’s like “everything’s fine Mom” and “I got a new job Mom!”). 10:00 PM comes and Drew arrives back at Pac-Mart, and Mrs. Tan gives him a tour of Pac-Mart and its maze-like corridors. All the late-night workers finish their final tasks and leave for the night… And for the first time, Drew is left alone. He mutters to himself about the job being “easy money” and how the job’s not necessary because “nothing bad’s gonna happen in a Pac-Mart.”
Bored, he flips through a tabloid magazine… Until he hears clatter from deep inside the store. Drew shines his flashlight and heads in the direction of the noise. He steps into the cereal aisle and finds Pac-Man opening cereal boxes, looking inside for an item, closing it and putting it back, rinse and repeat. “Hey, dude, we’re closed,” says Drew, who thinks it’s just an exceedingly short and stout customer. Drew walks closer and says “what” because the figure doesn’t even look human—rather, it’s a yellow ball with noodle-y arms and legs, orange mittens, and red shoes. Drew rubs his eyes to make sure he’s not seeing things. Pac-Man then finds a white ball inside one of the boxes and tosses it into his mouth. “You’re supposed to buy that,” says Drew. Pac-Man stares at him blankly—then he does a front flip in the air, becomes a yellow sphere, and bounces to Drew, its mouth snapping up and down; to Drew it’s like Pac-Man wants to eat him!
“Uh… Oh no,” says Drew. He runs away from Pac-Man and rushes out a side door, closing it just in time before Pac-Man can catch him. Drew spends a minute pacing around and freaking out. “There’s no way I’m going back in, you couldn’t pay me to!” Then he remembers what his parents told him when he tried to steal the strawberries. “Seriously, that’s the childhood memory coming to my head! Out of all the childhood memories! I know I need this job… Urgh!”
Drew reenters Pac-Mart and sneaks around stealthily to avoid being seen. He sees Pac-Man in the fruit stands and hides behind a stand, taking a TikTok video of Pac-Man and whispering, “this way, at least I can show Mrs. Tan what’s up and hopefully go viral before I die.” Then there’s noises behind him, so he turns around and sees Blinky (the red ghost) nearby, hovering toward Pac-Man. “Yup, this place is haunted,” says Drew. Pac-Man sees Blinky and grabs a bunch of grapes, but fumbles the bunch, and it lands near Drew. Blinky closes in on Pac-Man, but Drew sees the fear in Pac-Man’s eyes and has a change of heart. He tosses the grapes to Pac-Man, who becomes blue, and Blinky tries to float away, but Pac-Man eats the ghost.
“Wow,” says Drew. Pac-Man flees to the kitchen, and Drew decides to follow him. We see Pac-Man hiding behind an oven, and Drew’s like, “hey dude, I’m not going to hurt you, you’re cool, I’m cool, we’re all cool.” Drew asks for his name, but because Pac-Man speaks with that classic Pac-Man sound effect, Drew’s like “you know what I’m just calling you Pac-Man, that makes sense.” Pac-Man uses crudely drawn diagrams to get Drew up to speed: there’s four ghosts in Pac-Mart and he needs to eat all four of them to draw out their master Spooky and rescue his fiancée Ms. Pac-Man. His mom’s words ring in Drew’s mind: “help others before yourself.” Drew shrugs and says, “welp, I guess we’re ghost hunters now.”
Drew devises a plan to draw out Inky (the blue ghost) by riding one of those supermarket buffers—he calls it a Zamboni, but that’s clearly wrong because Zambonis are what you use to clean the ice-skating rink. We cut to him driving the buffer down one of the aisles, and he’s bouncing around in his seat, muttering an impromptu song called “The Zamboni Song” where he’s like “shoobadoobadooba-Zamboni, I’m on a supermarket Zamboni,” and he’s singing with a funny voice—you know it’s great movie trailer fodder. Then Inky appears and starts chasing him, and he’s like, “go away it’s not Halloween yet,” and he swerves into the aisle and knocks it down. “Mrs. Tan will have a bone to pick about this one,” he says. Inky inches toward him, and Drew tries to start the buffer, but it won’t budge. Then Pac-Man comes to the rescue by eating a pair of cherries and then eating Inky. “You’re the man, Pac-Man,” says Drew.
There are also some lengthy moments of them trying to catch Pinky and Clyde. They catch Pinky by luring them to the makeup aisle, and then they must make their way to the food stand, but Clyde is throwing pineapples at them. The pineapples rise in the air, and we get 70s style camera zoom-ins on each pineapple as they’re lobbed into the air. Some of them land of Drew’s head and knock him out, but Pac-Man eventually eats Clyde.
Pac-Man vomits out ghost orbs and they put the orbs on the corners of a mystical cutting board, and then a huge tornado appears in the middle of the store, destroying the place, and Spooky appears with a levitating cage—Ms. Pac-Man is trapped in the cage. Spooky (voice of former SNL star Taran Killam) threatens to get revenge for the ghosts by killing Pac-Man, but Pac-Man becomes giant Pac-Man, and he Pac-Mans his way to victory, defeating and extinguishing Spooky once and for all.
They free Ms. Pac-Man, and they celebrate before Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man disappear through a portal. The next morning, Mrs. Tan comes back and is shocked by how her supermarket just got destroyed. Drew shrugs at the camera and says, “I guess I have to find a new job now” before the iris closes in on him.

Plot Summary (3.1k words)
SpoilerFade in; we see the moon against pitch black space. A golden ring passes by the moon as it falls to earth. A blue aura shimmers in the ring’s diamond. A voice narrates:
“It’s strange.
Sometimes I can’t remember my dreams,
though I’m sure I saw them.
Where do these dreams go?
But I remember this one dream,
as clearly as if it were reflected in a mirror.”
Fade from black to the POV of a figure running through a forest. Cut to the figure hopping over a log; the camera rises, revealing our hero, Klonoa (Mann), an anthropomorphic creature wearing spunky clothes (click for visual). Klonoa gazes around the forest with a big smile.
A pink butterfly flies past his face, and he chases after it while giggling. Then in the distance, he sees the golden ring wedged into the earth. (The ring’s bigger than his hands!) Klonoa curiously examines the ring and tries to walk off with it, but the ring’s so stuck that Klonoa can’t pick it up, and he falls. Then he grabs the ring and tries to pull it out, grunting and pulling with all his might, until he finally yanks it out. The blue aura floats outside of its diamond and, right in front of an awestruck Klonoa, forms into a floating blue orb with starry eyes and a crown on its head.
This orb is Huepow (Hedley), a ring spirit with a child’s voice.
Huepow: Greetings! I’m Huepow!
Klonoa: I’m Klonoa! Nice to meetcha!
Huepow: Do you want to be friends? We can be together, always!
Klonoa: Together, always?
Huepow: Let’s play tag!
Klonoa: …Tag? …YEAH!
Huepow: Betcha can’t catch me!
Huepow glides away, and Klonoa runs after him. They run out of the forest, heading toward Klonoa’s home (the Wind Village) and laughing together. Their laughing stops when they spot an airship zooming through the sky. The airship crashes into Bell Hill, which overlooks the village valley. Suddenly the day turns to night, the bell on Bell Hill rings ominously, and purple mist swirls around the village. Klonoa backs away as the mist surges toward him.
Klonoa: Aah!
Cut to a bedroom as Klonoa springs up from his bed, wearing nap clothes. He collects himself for a moment, realizing that he’d been dreaming. He scans the room and finds Huepow, who waves to Klonoa and says good morning. Klonoa chuckles in relief.
Klonoa rushes downstairs in his quaint village home, still in his nap clothes. He greets Grandpa (Reno), who serves him breakfast and asks him what he’s going to do today. Klonoa’s answer is obvious: he’s going out to play with his best friend Huepow! Grandpa guffaws at the answer.
Cut back upstairs as Klonoa gets dressed. He’s tying his shoelaces when suddenly—crash—something happens outside. “What was that?” asks Huepow. Klonoa shoves the heavy window open and looks up at Bell Hill. There’s an airship on the hill, meaning part of his dream has come true! Klonoa and Huepow resolve to investigate the crash.
Klonoa leaps out the window, does a front flip, and lands stylishly. The otherwise peaceful village is now overrun by Moos (cute round blob creatures that hop around and swipe at the buildings and trees with sharp claws). Huepow tells Klonoa not to worry; Huepow explains that he can possess the diamond on the golden ring, and Klonoa can then use the ring’s energy to shoot Wind Bullets that protect him from the Moos.
All the Moos rush to Klonoa at once, so Huepow quickly enters the ring; Klonoa grabs a Moo with a wind bullet and instinctually throws himself upward by tossing the Moo back down. Klonoa doggy paddles in the air and grabs a wooden platform just in time; he hoists himself up and looks down, seeing that the Moos can’t reach him. Klonoa thanks Huepow for the help; then he discovers a path to a nearby tower and leaps back down, running down the path as the group of Moos chase after him.
Klonoa makes it into the tower and shuts the door behind him before the Moos can get in. A voice shouts, “who goes there!” and an older yellow creature jumps down from the rafters and scolds Klonoa for sneaking around his tower. He introduces himself as Balue (Morgan) and proceeds to brag about the stone sculpture he built on the side of Bell Hill; it’s in the image of Lephise, a Diva from the mythical moon kingdom, and he’s building this tower to reach the moon kingdom in hopes of meeting Lephise. Klonoa begins to say he doesn’t think the Diva exists, and Balue’s like “SILENCE,” his shout almost blowing Klonoa away. “I think we should keep going,” says Huepow. Balue gives them directions to Bell Hill, and off they go!
Klonoa walks outside, and two shady figures are standing on top of Bell Hill. He rushes to the scene, but Huepow tells him to hide, so Klonoa hides behind a rock. Standing on the hill are Joka (Mintz-Plasse), a round masked creature in a jester costume, and Ghadius (Murphy), a tall creature in a pitch-black cloak and a golden bird mask, his purple-skinned, humanlike mouth and chin visible below the mask. Beneath their feet is the Diva Lephise, who’s unconscious.
Ghadius thanks Joka for bringing him Lephise; with a shrill voice, Joka says “of course, Your Darkness!” Ghadius tells the unconscious Lephise, “I can’t allow you save the world with your Song of Rebirth. Instead, I shall imprison you in darkness and destroy the world!” Then Ghadius asks Joka for the “pendant,” but Joka nervously tells him that he couldn’t find it.
Ghadius spots Klonoa from afar. He makes Lephise levitate using telekinesis and opens his cloak, revealing a galaxy’s worth of starry space underneath, and he encloses the cloak around the girl, officially kidnapping her. “Take care of those mice,” he tells Joka as he flies away.
“I guess we have no choice,” says Klonoa. He jumps into view, and Joka cackles, berating Klonoa with silly insults before unleashing a salamander monster and some Moos from a tin can; thinking Klonoa’s no match, Joka hops into the airship and flies off. Klonoa, however, is more than a match; he battles the monster by throwing Moos at its tail, the monster’s weak spot, and defeats it. Klonoa also discovers a “pendant” when it falls from its hiding place inside the bell. (It’s essentially a necklace with a crescent-shaped crystal attached.) Klonoa and Huepow confirm to each other that this is likely the pendant those baddies had been talking about…
Klonoa takes the Moon Pendant back to Grandpa, who examines it. “You’ve really done it this time,” bemoans Grandpa, who confirms that it’s a crest of the moon kingdom. Klonoa asks if the moon kingdom exists, and Grandpa, in his rocking chair, says “perhaps there is, but then again, maybe not.” Grandpa is worried because of the kidnapping and the situation in general, so he tells Klonoa to go to Forlock Forest to tell Granny what happened. Klonoa sets off immediately!
They go into the forest and discover that the path to Granny’s house is blocked due to a lack of water in the forest—if the trees aren’t healthy enough, they can’t traverse their branches or their hollows. The forest natives, tribal folks, aren’t happy about this, so they’re patrolling the area—but they also have a big, young female fish, Karal (Ferguson) unjustly trapped in a cage. Klonoa rescues Karal and brings them to the shore of a small beach. Karal says she knows how to bring the water back so the heroes can get to Granny!
They hop on her back, and she swims them over to Shell Castle in the oceanic area near the forest. (On the way, they see that a waterfall is flowing backwards…) King Seadoph (Yarbough) resides there, but he speaks in an unnaturally deep voice, Huepow surmises aloud that the king’s not in control of himself—and his fish servant Pamela (Aduba) has been corrupted too. “Momma!” shouts Karal. Pamela attacks Klonoa, but Klonoa defeats her. Klonoa’s victory wards off the corruption, returning King Seadoph and Pamela to their normal selves. They exchange notes, and King Seadoph reveals that Ghadius was the one who corrupted him and that he wasn’t aware of his actions; he warns Klonoa that Granny might be in danger because she possesses knowledge about the Moon Kingdom; he then restores the flow of the water from backwards to forwards, which makes the trees healthy again.
Karal swims the heroes back to the forest, where Klonoa traverses the forest before running into Granny (House), a leader of the forest’s natives. But Joka’s there too, and he sends out another monster against Klonoa before fleeing, and Klonoa defeats it. They talk to Granny, who tells them more about the Moon Kingdom (it’s a giant mythical kingdom in the sky). They reveal that the Moon Pendant that Klonoa found earlier in the story is a magical key that can summon the Moon Kingdom. Huepow tells Klonoa that if Grandpa’s in possession of the pendant, that means he's in immediate danger, because Ghadius and Joka want that pendant. Granny tells them about a shortcut, and the heroes head out—but Joka had been listening in behind a tree, and he heard everything… He relays it all to Ghadius, who schemes a plan…
Klonoa reaches the Wind Village and waves to Grandpa from afar. All of a sudden—“nya ha ha!” It’s Joka on a hovercraft, who fires a beam on Klonoa’s house, steals the pendant, and makes off with it. Klonoa rushes to the ruins of his house to find Grandpa fatally wounded. Grandpa tells Klonoa that his destiny is to bring the Moon Pendant back to that bell before dying in his arms. “Grandpa… Grandpa!”
Fade to Klonoa mourning Grandpa. Huepow floats near him.
Huepow: I know how you must feel, Klonoa… But we must get that pendant!
Klonoa: B-but how?
(Something flutters in the sky.)
Huepow: It’s—
—PAMELA, who’s flying in the sky. She parks herself in front of them.
Pamela: King Seadoph and Granny told me everything. Hurry! Climb on my back!
Klonoa: Um… Okay!
Pamela: We’re going… To the Temple of the Sun!
Pamela drops them off at a sky temple known as the Temple of the Sun; it’s a mechanical, steampunk style kingdom. They meet Moire (Sohn), the keepe1r of this temple, who tells them that Ghadius has already opened the Moon Gate. This is bad because, as Moire explains, the Moon Kingdom gathers the power to dream, and that power gives shape to the world of Phantomile—but Ghadius wants to use the Moon Kingdom’s power to replace its dream power with nightmare power, which would cast evil on, and destroy the whole world, of Phantomile.
Huepow: Don’t give up now! Even if the Moon Kingdom appears, we can still stop Ghadius!
Klonoa: You’re right! We can still make it!
Moire: Ascend this castle and you will find passage to the Moon Kingdom. I leave everything up to you!
Klonoa ascends the castle (not without struggle) and finds Ghadius talking with Joka. “What are you scheming?” asks Klonoa, and Ghadius says, “scheming? This is just simple revenge. Fools like you imprisoned me in darkness. I will plunge this strange dream into a sea of nightmares!” He disappears, leaving Klonoa to fight Joka, who transforms into a giant turtle monster, which Klonoa successfully defeats.
Klonoa and Huepow look up at the sky, which has turned from sunset orange to nighttime purple, and discover that the Moon Kingdom, a temple made of mostly crystals, has appeared. Pamela gives them a ride to the moon kingdom, where Klonoa manages to find a way in after some sneaking around. They reach a corridor, where a servant runs in yelling “Prince Huepow! Prince Huepow!” and kneels to the orb. He tells them that the kingdom has been taken over by Ghadius. In comes the Moon Queen (Cardellini), who reveals that the Ghadius has trapped the Diva Lephise in the Moon Egg and is now pouring energy from nightmares into the egg as well, and that if the egg is released, it would bring about his evil plan.
Huepow floats to who he calls “mother” and pleads for her to stay out of harm’s way. “Wait… Huepow? Who are you?” says Klonoa. “Huepow,” says the mom in a “you better tell him” sort of way. Huepow briefly transforms into a humanoid boy and tells Klonoa that he was the prince of the Moon Kingdom the whole time!
Huepow: The ring spirit is a disguise. I had my reasons for treading into the outside world.
Klonoa: What reasons?
Huepow: I’m sorry. I can’t say anything about that now. But I promise, I promise to tell you everything later.
Klonoa: Huepow…
Huepow: I want you to trust me. Can you help us just a little bit more, Klonoa?
Klonoa: Huepow… What are you talking about? We’ve been friends forever, right?!
Huepow: Klonoa… Thank you.
Huepow transforms back into the ring spirit, and the heroes set off to find Ghadius. They go to the top of the kingdom and find Ghadius staring out into the night sky, muttering about needing to find that “traveler of foolish dreams.” He whips to them and says, “how amusing. I did not anticipate you following me all the way here.” Huepow tries to talk sense into Ghadius, telling him that when the moon egg’s unleashed, he will also be erased along with Phantomile—but Ghadius doesn’t care. He’s been abandoned by the world, so now he wants to abandon it!
They have a legendary battle, and Klonoa defeats Ghadius, with nothing left of him but his weird helmet. After Ghadius dies, they look and see that Balue, Karal, King Seadoph, Pamela, Granny, and Moire have all just then gathered there, ready to help save their world. Balue’s a little disappointed that Ghadius is already defeated. But then Ghadius’s helmet floats in the air, with a purplish haze around it, saying, “hear this, strange dream! The world is finished!”
The egg cracks open and unleashes a monster called Nahatomb into the sky. All seems lost until the Moon Queen enters and tells everyone about one final power they can use against the monster. “It’s time to combine the strength of the five tribes! Lend me your hands!”
All the friends set off, but Huepow tells Klonoa to wait. He explains that Nahatomb is after him—he, Klonoa, is the “strange dream” Ghadius had alluded to. Klonoa’s still confused, but there’s no time to explains as the moon kingdom shakes like an earthquake.
They follow the friends to a floating arena, where Balue, Seadoph, Granny. Moire, and the Moon Queen each take one of five cannons, and Klonoa runs around the arena, dodging Nahatomb’s attacks, as he must gather Moos for the cannons to fire at the monster. The cannonfire lands, and Nahatomb’s almost dead, but needs one more shot to seal the deal. Huepow volunteers for Klonoa to shoot him at Nahatomb as a wind bullet, and Klonoa is concerned about Huepow because he doesn’t know what will happen to him, but Huepow insists because it needs to be done! Klonoa fires Huepow into the monster, and the monster explodes; we see a freed Diva Lephise floating in the air; she looks Klonoa in the eyes.
Diva Lephise: Thank you. All the nightmares have disappeared.
All the friends rejoice, but Klonoa hangs his head down…
Klonoa: Huepow… Together, always…
Then he screams—
Klonoa: That’s what you said!
Then a voice:
???: We’re together, Klonoa…
Klonoa looks behind him and finds the blue orb Huepow!
Huepow: We’ll be together, always!
Klonoa: Huepow!
Huepow assumes humanoid form and floats in the air toward Klonoa. They reach out for each other’s hands. As soon as Klonoa grabs the hand, gravity kicks in for Huepow, and he dangles off Klonoa’s ledge in Klonoa’s hand. Huepow says he’s hurt all over from the fight, and he asks Klonoa not to let go. Klonoa tells Huepow that he will never let go.
We fade to the Wind Village, where Klonoa and Huepow are sitting together on a path overlooking the village. Klonoa asks Huepow if he’s all right and tells him to take it easy because there’s no more Nahatomb to worry about. He asks Huepow if he’s going back to the Moon Kingdom. Huepow’s just thinking to himself and doesn’t respond. Klonoa thinks his answer’s “yes,” so he asks, “but we can see each other soon, right? We can play together, just like before!” Huepow gulps, and he finally speaks up…
Huepow: Klonoa?
Klonoa: Hmm?
Huepow: You’re actually… You’re really… You don’t really exist in this world.
Klonoa: What?
Huepow: I called you from your world so that we could restore the balance of dreams.
Klonoa: Wh-what are you talking about?
Huepow: It’s true! This world is not your reality!
Klonoa: But… No! But I remember everything! The first time I met you. Playing with you!
Huepow: Those are… They’re fake memories that I made… You believed them.
Klonoa: No… You’re lying!
Huepow shakes with guilt.
Klonoa: You’re lying! You’re lying!
Huepow: No, I’m not. It’s the truth. That strange dream Ghadius spoke of… Your presence in this world is like a strange dream…
Klonoa: No… It can’t be!
Huepow: When Lephise sings her song, you won’t be able to stay in this world.
Klonoa: No! I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying!
Huepow: Klonoa… Well, I… But I…
Lephise starts singing from the top of the Moon Kingdom. The wind picks up, and a purple vortex appears behind Klonoa. “It’s time for you to go,” says Huepow. “Back to your Phantomile.” Klonoa tries to resist the vortex, but it’s futile. “No… I won’t go! I won’t!” cries Klonoa as he’s pulled away. Cut back to Huepow, he turns to Klonoa with tears in his eyes…
…and he sprints to Klonoa, even as Klonoa’s sucked back. They cry out to each other as Huepow runs and Klonoa glides away. The force picks Klonoa off the ground; he reaches out with the golden ring, and Huepow grabs the ring and pulls it as he tries to stop Klonoa from getting sucked into the vortex. They cry out to each other; they both have tears in their eyes; it’s clear their friendship was true. Then Huepow loses his grip, and Klonoa is viscerally whisked away. Klonoa, screaming out for Huepow, disappears into the vortex, and the vortex vanishes. As Lephise sings, the sky becomes a bit brighter, and the once-wilted flowers stand upright, blooming once again. Huepow wipes his tears away, looks at the sky, and smiles.
Fade to black.
For your Phantomile…

You can also optionally include other relevant information like producers, composers, the name of the releasing studio (if you are using your own fictional studios), special formats for release (like IMAX or 3D), even custom taglines or posters if you wish. None of this is required to post your film and it can be added after you first post if you so choose.
Limited releases are allowed, and they can expand into additional theaters on a week-by-week basis. You will need to specify when the film expands and how many theaters it goes into each week, up until the final expansion that is the widest it will go.
I've included some typical midweek release dates around holidays and such. If you want to release a movie on a weekday in some other week, go right ahead and just specify it in the post for that movie. I'll add that day to the release calendar.

@Agafin @Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @elcaballero @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Jack Sparrow @Rorschach
Hello; it has come to my attention that Deadline reported a Thursday number abnormally early, as most Thursday numbers come around 10:00 or 11:00 AM EST. I’m uncertain if that’s a legit number or just an estimate. In any case, I’ve decided that you still have time to submit predictions if you haven’t already, because in my head, Deadline suddenly changing up their schedule isn’t fair to the players. The report came around midnight EST anyway so if I don’t make an exception this time, most players would be disqualified, and that’s no fun. Anyways, good luck at the challenge this week!

TRIBAL COUNCIL #8
Everyone enters the tribal council area.
SLAM!: Welcome, Bloopers, to tribal council, where one of you will become the ninth person eliminated from Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom. Agafin used the Dr. Mario's Note, so he isn't here. But the rest of you are still on the hook!
Rorschach: In more ways than one, I bet.
DAJK: 😬
Fancyarcher: (stretches) Ah, it feels good to be safe!
elcaballero: Uh, I wouldn't get too comfortable, Fancy.
Jack Sparrow: Psst! Ethan! Now that Agafin's sitting out, what do you think's gonna happen?
Ethan Hunt: Well I, for one, feel better about my chances.
Certain someones put on their best poker faces.
SLAM!: All right, it's time to vote!
Everyone votes.
SLAM!: All right, if anyone wants to play an advantage or immunity idol, now would be the time to do so.
The Dark Alfred: (nods while high)
Goldenhour36: (adjusts wristwatch)
Asyulus: ...

SpoilerEthan Hunt
SLAM!: There's one vote left. For the first time this season with non-absentee players, the elimination will not be decided by a tiebreaker. This final vote determines who goes.
Asyulus: But I'm a John Wick stan! I'm an underdog!
Ethan Hunt: Maybe next time, newb. 😏
Asyulus: Oh no, I gotta calm down, I gotta drink milk! (starts drinking milk)
SLAM!: Ninth player eliminated from Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom...
SpoilerEthan Hunt
Asyulus: (does a spit take)
Ethan Hunt: 😟😔
SLAM!: Please grab your torch.
(Ethan Hunt shakes his head. He stuffs a note into a speechless Jack Sparrow's hand, then marches to SLAM! with the torch.)
SLAM!: Ethan Hunt? The tribe has spoken.
(SLAM! snuffs the torch.)
Ethan Hunt: (to the cast) Why me?
The Dark Alfred: You're like, totally strategic dude.
Goldenhour36: Yeah. You had to go.
Ethan Hunt: I see. Well, that's the way I like going out—as a threat. Good game. That's all I gotta say.
(Ethan Hunt exits.)
Confessional - Ethan Hunt: I didn't expect to go out tonight, but I should've known to expect the unexpected, just like half my original tribe did. They're right to vote me out—I would've gotten them all, one by one...
Post-Tribal Story Content
SpoilerAgafin in the barracks. Jack Sparrow rushes in.
Jack Sparrow: Agafin! You won't believe it!
Agafin: Huh? What?
Jack Sparrow: Ethan got eliminated!
Agafin: Already?
Jack Sparrow: Here. He left you a note.
(Agafin opens the note.)
"I'm sorry for trying to vote you out an all. It's the game. I'm sure you understand. I never got a chance to say thanks for building me a F.L.U.D.D., so this is me saying that. See you on the other side. - Ethan"
(Agafin stares off into the distance.)
Jack Sparrow: What now, Agafin?
Agafin: ...It's payback time.

SLAM!: The final voting deadline has been delayed one hour to 8:00 PM EST tomorrow. The prediction deadline remains the same—so get those predictions in before 11:59 PM PST or at least before Tuesday numbers!
Dolphin: Hello, I'm a dolphin with goggles.
SLAM!: Cool! What's your name?

Agafin stumbles, affected by the poison.
Agafin: I must see a doctor. I must survive!
He gives an item to SLAM!.
SLAM! turns to the Survivors, clearing his throat.
SLAM!: Agafin has played a
DR. MARIO’S NOTE
SLAM!: Agafin found this in the Orange Egg. This item excuses Agafin from attending one tribal council of his choice. Agafin will skip tomorrow’s tribal, and he can neither vote someone out, nor be voted out. Production wishes everyone good luck!

Birdo: Yeah, I need a bow, boo.
Yoshi: All around my island, there's Piantas that are willing to give you a bow. But you must find them! Here's a reminder of what Piantas look like!
Yoshi: Now go or I'll throw eggs at you!

Cheep-Cheeps start leaping over the bridge, threatening to knock them into the water.
Asyulus: Quick! Dodge the cheep-cheeps!
They dodge the cheep-cheeps, occasionally using martial arts to fight against fish.
Red Pianta: Wow, they're dodgers!
Yellow Pianta: They don't look like baseball players to me!
Asyulus and Jack Sparrow acquire the red and yellow bows, respectively.
Cut to Agafin taking the Orange Bow from an Orange Pianta in an alleyway.
Agafin: Thanks.
He turns to leave. Goldenhour36 stands in the way!
Agafin: Hey Golden. You have your bow?
Goldenhour36: I have my White Bow. But it's time for you to have your comeuppance!
Agafin: This isn't about Morieris, is it?
Goldenhour36: You voted out my showmance! Prepare to face my revenge!
SpoilerGOLDENHOUR36 PLAYS

ON AGAFINGoldenhour36: No more mister nice guy! I'm going to make sure you go home so I can avenge Morieris!
Agafin: Okay.
The Dark Alfred, Ethan Hunt, and Fancyarcher row a small boat to a small island off the coast of Delfino Plaza.
Fancyarcher: Why are we rowing to this island again?
Ethan Hunt: There's a sketchy dude on the island. Haven't you ever played Super Mario Sunshine before?
The Dark Alfred: Oh, I could vibe with this dude.
They reach the island and approach the Sketchy Pianta.
The Dark Alfred: Hey, got any weed?
Sketchy Pianta: No, but I have Birdo Bows.
Dark Alfred and Ethan Hunt require the Black and Pink bows respectively.
Fancyarcher: Uh, can I get a Blue Bow?
Sketchy Pianta: I'm all out of bows, sweetheart. Better luck next time.
The Dark Alfred: You're a Blue Pianta in disguise, though.
Fancyarcher: (cracks knuckles) Don't think I'm giving up so easily.
Ethan Hunt: Uhhhhh... Fancy?
Fancyarcher: I'm ground-pounding the Pianta.
Ethan Hunt: Not even Mario can ground-pound a Pianta. I know because I've played Super Mario Sunshine.
The Dark Alfred: Yeah, dude. You should abstain!
Fancyarcher: Check this out.
Fancyarcher leaps above the Pianta, flips, and ground-pounds the Pianta. The Pianta becomes a Blue Birdo Bow.
Ethan Hunt: 😐 I stand corrected.
Cut to DAJK and Rorschach entering a Buffalo Wild Wings.
Rorschach: Hey. Any bows for a Birdo here?
Purple Pianta: If you eat one hundred buffalo wings, we'll give you a Buffalo Birdo Bow.
DAJK: Does it have to be a specific sauce?
Purple Pianta: Yes, it must be buffalo sauce.
DAJK: (looks to the camera)
Confessional - DAJK: I prefer the Mango Habanero.
DAJK and Rorschach sit at the table.
Green Pianta: I'm Green Pianta, I'll be your server today, how may I help you.
Rorschach: One hundred buffalo wings, por favor.
DAJK: Ditto.
The Pianta walks away. They stare off the balcony.
DAJK: That's a nice ski slope next to us.
Rorschach: I could totally rip some powder right now.
DAJK: Huh?
Rorschach: That's ski slang, meaning "skiing."
DAJK: Oh yeah.
They sit in silence. It's a nice day.
Rorschach: I'm glad we're allies, DAJK. I think we're great partners.
DAJK: For sure. Wait... Something's happening!
SpoilerDAJK: It's an avalanche!
Rorschach: Oh sh– Take cover!
Pandemonium ensues.
Rorschach: I'm stuck behind the table!
DAJK: (too busy running to help him)
Rorschach braces for impact...
...But nothing happens.
Purple Pianta: Looks like it was just a fog cloud! But due to the scare, your wings are on the house.
They sit in silence. But it's not a nice day anymore.
Rorschach: Dude. You Force Majeure'd me.
DAJK: Force ma-what? Is that ski slang?
Rorschach: Force Majeure? Ruben Ostlund?
DAJK: Oh, uh. Ha ha ha. 😬
Green Pianta: Here's the Birdo Bows you wanted.
DAJK and Rorschach acquire the Green and Purple bows respectively.

The Survivors present their bows to Birdo.
Yoshi: Immunity goes to whoever has Birdo's favorite bow? Which bow's your favorite, Birdo?
Birdo makes the Birdo noise and picks Fancyarcher's Blue Bow.
Birdo: Now this is a Birdo Bow!
Ethan Hunt: That's not even the right color.
Fancyarcher: Oh, I'm good. I'm real good.
Birdo: But the Brown Bow gets an honorable mention!
Yoshi: You heard the queen! elcaballero, you're safe this week!
elcaballero: Nice, we're both safe, Fancy!

Hello Survivors,
After waiting for the studios to release their estimate numbers, we have realized that estimates might not be released until tomorrow due to Memorial Day. Production is now turning to you to ask if you would like the finished episode to be posted tonight.
This is feasible because with estimate numbers, there is currently a 3% gap between first place and second place, and something remarkable would need to happen for the second place score to overtake the one in first. If I post the episode with estimate numbers, and the 3-day actual numbers change who won individual immunity, I would tag everyone to let you know. I would be tagging everyone anyway because I would plan to edit in the scores with actual regardless.
Posting the episode tonight would offer players the allotted time to strategize, because no matter how the actual numbers change the scores, most players will know with estimate numbers that they definitely aren’t the immunity winners. And if the winner does change, I get to write a humorous skit where immunity is taken from one player and given to another player at the last minute.
So my question to the survivors is this: would you like the episode and results to be posted with estimate numbers tonight, or would you like me to wait, potentially until late Tuesday, to post the episode and results with actuals? Please “like” to say “yes” or press “knock it off” to say “no.” If permitted, I will post the episode tonight by 11:59 PM EST.
Production wishes you a happy Memorial Day!
Signed,
Mr. Aviator Sunglasses Producer Man

You are the last two players in Egg Drop. You can either claim the Yellow Yoshi Egg, or you can claim Safety For The Week. If the other player picks before you, then you will automatically receive the item that’s left.

@Agafin @Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @elcaballero @Ethan Hunt @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Jack Sparrow @Rorschach
Procedure Amendment
Production has decided to tell each players the contents of their egg as soon as they pick their egg, as opposed to waiting for all players to select an egg. Happy egg selecting!

”Agafin plays three red mushrooms” was written in error. Only two mushrooms were played! The message has been edited accordingly.

Yoshi: Ba-dum! I'm a dinosaur. But I'm not just any dinosaur. I'm Yoshi. And on Friday, sometime after the announcement of Thursday preview numbers, I'm holding a special one-time event to celebrate the merge:
EGG DROP
I will be giving out different-colored Yoshi eggs at a random time on Friday. Each Yoshi egg has an item inside. Every egg has an item inside that could potentially change the game, and many of them have not shown up in the game yet. When the "Egg Drop" is posted at random, you will select an egg by posting in the thread to publicly announce which egg you're choosing, and it's first come first serve. You won't know what's inside your egg until all eggs are selected.
You must predict in the weekend challenge to be eligible for picking an egg. You'll still get an egg, but you'll just get the egg that's leftover.
Good luck with the weekend challenge, and with the Egg Drop event!

Tribal Council #9
Everyone enters the tribal council arena.
SLAM!: Welcome to tribal council, where one of you will become the next player voted out of Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom.
Agafin gulps as he feels the presence of eyes staring at the back of his head.
SLAM!: Please cast your votes.
Everyone casts their votes.
SLAM!: If anyone has an advantage or an immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
elcaballero: (gulps nervously)
The Dark Alfred: (nods to music in his head)
Fancyarcher: ...
Item Play #1
Fancyarcher: One mushroom, please.
Fancyarcher plays
ONE RED MUSHROOM
Item Play #2
Rorschach: Not to one-up you, but...
Rorschach Plays
TWO RED MUSHROOMS
Item Play #3
Rorschach: But wait, there's more...
SLAM!: Our first Double Cherry of the season! This doubles Rorschach's vote at tribal council! And who, Rorschach? Who are you playing your Double Cherry on?
Rorschach: ...Agafin.
Everyone nods in "that makes sense" fashion.
Agafin: You dare vote out the mushroom man?
Jack Sparrow: 🎵Can you hear the mushroom man, the mushroom man, the mushroom man, can you–🎵
Everyone glares at Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: Sorry.
Item Play #4
Agafin plays two red mushrooms...
Suddenly, the fallen leaves glide into the air and swirl around in a small tornado in the middle of the arena.
Agafin: Huh? What's going on?
A figure appears from the tornado! It's–
THE MUSHROOM GENIE
Mushroom Genie: Hello Survivors. I am the Mushroom Genie. My Genie Lamp was found in Rorschach's Purple Egg, and I then granted Rorschach one single wish. Rorschach's wish was that henceforth through the rest of the season, whenever Agafin plays Red Mushrooms on himself, they would immediately transform into Poison Mushrooms. I hereby declare that Agafin's mushrooms are now Poison Mushrooms!
The Mushroom Genie waves his arms.
Huzzah!
Agafin (Unwittingly) Plays
TWO POISON MUSHROOMS
ON HIMSELF
Agafin: But why, Rorschach?
Rorschach: It's time to stop. It's time to stop, okay?
Goldenhour36 points at the Mushroom Genie like Leonardo DiCaprio points in Tarantino's OUaTiH.
Goldenhour36: Now that's a Mushroom Man.
Wario: No refunds!
Waluigi: Wah! Customer service!
(Production has elected to reassure Agafin by revealing that he wouldn't have won Tuesday immunity anyways even if his mushrooms remained as Red Mushrooms.)
SLAM!: Now that everyone has played their items, it's time to reveal who won Tuesday immunity.
Rorschach with a modified 103.24%!
Rorschach: (blows bubble gum)
Fancyarcher: (squints his eyes)
Confessional - Rorschach: I needed to do everything in my power to make sure Agafin didn't get any further. Otherwise, he could sail to the end with his mushrooms!
Confessional - Fancyarcher: I think I've found my next rivalry... But I'll surely beat him!
SLAM!: First vote...
Agafin
SLAM!: Second vote...
DAJK
SLAM!: Third vote...
Jack Sparrow
SLAM!: Fourth vote...
Agafin
SLAM!: Fifth vote...
DAJK
SLAM!: Sixth vote...

SLAM!: Tenth player voted out of Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom...
AGAFIN
You are eliminated.
SLAM!: Please bring me your torch.
Agafin sheepishly brings the torch to SLAM!.)
SLAM!: Agafin? The tribe has spoken.
(SLAM! snuffs the torch.)
Agafin: Good game, everyone. (leaves)
Confessional - Agafin: I had a heck of a run this season. I narrowly survived four tribal councils and caused my arch-nemesis's eviction by using the Dr. Mario's Note at the right time. Now it's time for the Mushroom Man to cheer on my fellow houseguests from the sidelines!
Post-Tribal Story Content
Asyulus sneaks into the barracks with his suit and tie, and his Dragon's Breath shotgun drawn. He does a tuck-n'-roll and continues sneaking until he reaches the edge of The Dark Alfred's room. elcaballero sneaks behind Asyulus.
elcaballero: Uh... What are you doing?
Asyulus: It's time for an investigation.
elcaballero: Uh, if you say so.
They burst in to find The Dark Alfred, who's playing Wii Bowling.
Asyulus: Oof, I thought this was Bill Skarsgard's room.
The Dark Alfred: Bowling's better with multiplayer. Care to join?
elcaballero: Okay!
elcaballero throws the remote into the TV screen.
elcaballero: Whoops!
The Dark Alfred: My television. It's broken!
Asyulus and elcaballero exchange worried glances.
The Dark Alfred: Time to put the "dark" in Alfred!
