[The video turns on to reveal a slightly flustered Troy]

Hello, hello, is anybody hearing this? My name is Troy Barnes, I'm a student of Greendale Community College and I am trapped in what I assume to be a Saw movie.

[growing slightly hysterical] I swear to GOD, if that little clown dude comes rollin' out on a tricycle I am just gonna lose it. There is something very unsettling about a puppet riding a bike. I- I just can't take that kind of fear right now. The Great Muppet Caper still gives me nightmares.

[tears welling up, Troy desperately hoped someone responded soon to assure him no puppets would be piloting any wheeled devices into the room]

[ The man's voice is deliberately low and gravely. ]

Hello, Troy. I want to play a game...

Oh god, I knew it. You're that Jigsaw guy. Please don't threaten me with saws and force me to put together puzzles without looking at the box or whatever it is you did in those movies.

I... never really made it past the puppet.

Your fear has made you weak. Timid. You slink through life, dutifully attending classes at a mediocre community college and wasting the life you've been given because you're too terrified to take a risk. But you have a second chance. A new lease on life, if you choose to take.

You have been brought to this town to test your will to survive. Make it through the week, show yourself stronger than your fear, and you will. Or let the fear incapacitate you, until you can do nothing but curl up in a corner and wait for the monsters to claim you.

Overcome your fear or die. The choice is yours.

[Veronica is on the floor, her hair mussed, her body twisted.]

You're up? You're finally up?

Ohmygod, you have to get me out of here. All you have to do is slap yourself in the face, and he'll give us the next challenge, and then we can get out of here!

[immediately and swiftly slaps himself in the face]

What kind of monster would do this to innocent people?

I DON'T KNOW! [Veronica covers her face with a hand, brushing away what might be tears.]

Has- has he said anything about what to do next? Can you- Is there a note? Anything?

That's the best you can come up with? Puppets on bicycles?

[Cue the slow, slow grin.]

Oh, we will have fun with you.

[Starting now.]

Well, I mean, I guess I could be in a much scarier movie, but my mom insists that Timmy the Tooth was not actually a real movie and just a fever-induced fantasy I had when I was a kid...

[he perked up at the sound of the word fun, ignoring all the malice it was laced with]

Fun? Oh thank god, you must be one of the good guys.

[To Loki's credit, he does manage not to look completely disgruntled. Or completely gleeful, which is an equally good option under the circumstances.]

Just so, which is why you must listen carefully. There are a few of us left, but we cannot reveal ourselves to you so soon. In the mean time, you must trust no one, particularly anyone making unusually friendly overtures towards you. Be careful -- they're charming, and they're convincing, but you mustn't believe them. That's how they get you.

You've been kidnapped here. We all have. I think we're being filmed but I'm sure it's not... a Saw movie. Are you near the fountain?

[ He'll bring some tissues... ]

Kidnapped? Aw man, that seems lame. [Knowing it was probably not a Saw movie sure took a load off, however.]

A fountain? I'm not sure. Why? Are we going to wish ourselves out of here?

[The Hulk went into the forest, but it was more metal monsters -- ones that looked like him, no less -- and he couldn't get through. He is curious about what's going on with that prisoner, but he has no real way to contact the others. So now he's in the town, looking for someone familiar, when he spots a human having a meltdown.

He stops and stares at him. And snorts.]

[Troy stares back, tears temporarily withheld by pure fear]

...I think I'll take that clown puppet now.

Whoa, dude! Take a few breaths, you're gonna be fine.

[no less hysterical]
That's what the doctor said, and next thing I knew he was jabbing a needle into my screaming eight-year-old arm. The words don't exactly carry the same weight after something like that.

[Daneel is confused, to say the least. He hasn't a clue as to what most of this is about.]

If I may help clear up this matter, I would like to state for the record that I'm not a puppet. I'm a humaniform robot.

Oh, okay that's much better.

Wait, WHAT?

Seriously? [Please be joking. Please be joking-- he's not joking.]

I'm honestly amazed you got into college at all. Even community college. Bravo. I bet your parents are so proud.

[Troy reels back a moment, ready to get defensive but stop upon noticing the new voice belongs to a rather attractive female]

Communi- Did I say community college? [fake laugh] what I meant to say was uh... football... University.

Football University. Yeah. I'm studying lawyering there.

[So naturally Kobra finds a kid's Halloween rainbow wig and rides around the town on his pink bicycle looking for this guy.]

[noticing the rapidly approaching makeshift clown]

So this is how I die.

Fortunately nobody has been dismembered.

Yet.

...welcome to Kore~

Oh look a normal person and not Satan, a robot or a rape clown. How refreshing.

Thank you for kindly welcoming me to this lovely collection of my worst nightmares.

I don't suppose you have some horrible true identity to reveal to me?

You were scared of that too? Damn, I thought I was the only one. [ ...all of this was a lie. But really, the new arrivals were getting slightly more embarrassing with each one. ]

No way. Puppets are business.

[So many strangers. So much danger.]

So uh... you're not gonna kill me or something, are you? Because it's been a bit of a rough day and I would very much appreciate it if you didn't.
