SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode Nine: "Pauline's Studio"

[SLAM!]

@Agafin @Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @elcaballero @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Jack Sparrow @Rorschach

 

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!

elcaballero: So, uh. You're singing a Snoop Dogg song, right?

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.

Agafin: It is pretty cool though.

Pauline: All right, let's see the results:

Spoiler

Goldenhour36 - (93.50% + 6%) - 99.50% (individual immunity winner)

The Dark Alfred - (95.32% + 3%) - 98.32%

elcaballero - 92.27%

DAJK - 91.78%

All right, if you didn't win immunity this week, that means you're in danger of being eliminated at the next tribal council. Make sure that isn't you!

Slam!: Please remember to send Tuesday immunity predictions by 12:00 PM PST or at least before the announcement of Tuesday estimate numbers if you haven’t already!

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

Spoiler

Fancyarcher: One mushroom, please. 

 

 

Fancyarcher plays

ONE RED MUSHROOM

 

 

Item Play #2

Spoiler

Rorschach: Not to one-up you, but...

 

 

Rorschach Plays

TWO RED MUSHROOMS

 

 

Item Play #3

Spoiler

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

Spoiler

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–

Spoiler

 

 

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.

Spoiler

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!: Second vote...

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

Spoiler

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!

Awww you silly gooses, you must have voted me by mistake but that’s okay I don’t hold grudges ;)) 

 

Good week again folks! And thanks @SLAM! for all the ongoing work!

[Agafin]

Well, every good thing eventually comes to an end. I had a lot of fun playing with you all and I'm happy my exit wasn't boring, lol. Good luck, everyone!

[Rorschach]

 

Spoiler

Props to you @Agafin for making it this far and skirting by elimination multiple weeks in a row. You utilized those mushrooms to your advantage quite well.
