After a while of discussing between themselves and an unknown third voice, the hosts ultimately resolve to leave things as they are. Fuck it, we’re too far in!
(Yeah, yeah, I’m sure it’ll be fine!) Alright, alright!

A little bit more whispering, and the round’s results are once again announced.

Jane is Devout!
Oh, this is comedy. Narration ensues!
Six of you remain. Surrounded by remains,
None of you falter; there’s victory to attain!
Staring ahead at uncertain doom,
two of you are soon to enter your tomb…
Yet again, a RELIGION not meant to last.
Commandeered by JANE, two lovers soon follow,
And so too does CHILI, which MARLUXION can’t swallow.
And though it’s heartbreaking, he leaves them behind,
Though part of him hopes they’ll come around in time.
It’s a hope held in vain, for things soon fall apart,
as the Magician’s bold gambit, risking life and limb, starts…
And her silver tongue weaves a LIE well rehearsed.
“To save all our skins, a ritual MUST begin,
Of FIRE and FLAMES, to burn away our SINS.”
A change of his heart, Marl runs back inside;
He swears his devotion, but his lover has died!
And Orange and You too, on the ground, side by side,
With Jane, laughing mad, somehow still alive!
The heartbroken tears down his face run FREE.
He BARELY makes it out. The pain of the BURNS
ENSURES he’ll never again TO THIS PATH turn.
And left in the chapel are Magician and Jane,
Both somehow still standing. But Jane seems… sane?
Something in them righted, lucidity regained,
Quietly, dangerously, “You’d better explain…”
The ritual, a falsehood, but death would soon take HER too.
The artifact’s CURSE was lethal, she feared.
“Then WHY,” Jane asked, “are you still here?”
Magician balked, for she was still alive.
Wait, could it be… the curse was a LIE!!!
And here she had thought she’d die as well!
All this to make sure she’d not be alone in Hell!
Jane found themself UNWILLING to PURSUE, settle the score,
Because SOMETHING in their mind was shifting, and sparked
A new flame of DETERMINATION in their heart.
And after their conclusion, they too left the scene.
But if they had stayed, surely, they would have seen
That You’s still alive, scars over their eyes!
They may heal eventually, but for now, they’re left blind…
And our group, once numerous, is now down to FOUR.
We quickly are approaching the END, my friends.
What will the victors do at THAT point, then…?
It seems that no one ever learns when it comes to religion. The two new eliminated are sent to the audience, chattering away. The robotic host can’t stifle their laugh while the new item pool is displayed.

Oh god. Did you choose to make Liar appear as Cursed, or was that also random?
It was randomized. You got so fucking lucky.
What’s the Devout room?
Nice
wheel of fortune, it’s marked
I’m happy with that.
yay, Jane survives once more and is guaranteed a bye for this round too
Also, my condolences to the living lovers
Note: Jane is no longer Injane- er. Insane. They must now actually not pick the majority.
Also yeah both pairs of lovers got rekt lmaooooooooo
Double the heartbreak!
To say your poetry delivered would be an understatement. I’m actually trembling.
i called it
Does devout fade after one round or is it permanent till replaced?
i called my death and did it anyway
like a true chad
aww, I’m glad
Things just kinda fell together this round narratively and I’m really glad they did
You notice the hosts seem happy about this compliment. Even the quieter one.
the latter
I think this has to be the last round, mechanically? Is it possible for more than two people to survive this turn?
