Things were falling into a routine now. Danya had warned his subordinates to not get complacent with their monitoring of the island, but so far everything was progressing smoothly. There were enough shakers and movers to keep the less proactive motivated, and no troublemakers had shown themselves yet. Knock on wood, of course."Good morning once again, kiddies!" echoed a now-familiar voice across the island. "It's your favorite Uncle Danya, here again to tell you how pleased I am about all the fresh new faces that we're featuring on our announcement this morning.
"Speaking of faces, Bunny Barlowe got slapped in hers with a fish." Danya paused for a chuckle, not bothering to lean away from the microphone. "I don't know if that was her main motivation for shooting Everett Taylor full of holes. I just wanted to let you all know that it happened."
He indulged in another few seconds of genuine laughter before continuing.
"Clair Belvedere made some poor life choices when she decided to try robbing Katarina Konipaski. No prizes for guessing how that worked out for her.
"Here's a fun fact, kids: did you know that slipping and falling in the shower is one of the leading causes of death in the United States? Amanda White demonstrated for us and, unfortunately, became another statistic. Speaking of statistics, here's one: zero percent of helpless blind kids who fall asleep around people with guns live to see another day. You can thank Aria Samuels for finding that one out for you, with a little assistance from Natali Greer and her rifle."
Danya thought to himself that he had a good rhythm going on today. Just the right mix of zingers, sarcasm, and motivation to really get the blood pumping in the surviving students. Pity that it took him a while to really hit his stride, but practice made perfect.
Out loud, he continued, "I'm sorry to say that one of yesterday's MVPs met her end. Brigid Paxton delivered a little karmic justice to Jasmine King via polearm. Take solace, Miss King: in the end, the real victory was the friends you murdered along the way." Too corny? Maybe, but he was really feeling it right now.
"Poor life choices made an encore appearance for our next few deaths. Kasumi White—no relation to Amanda—failed to properly treat her injuries and fell prey to fatal infection. Then, Sebastien Bellamy wouldn't stop running his mouth, so Miranda Millers shut him up with a bullet to the face. And finally—wait for it—Tessa Blackridge got so worked up about something or other that she managed to shoot herself without even trying. Truly astounding."
Danya slow clapped for good measure on that last one.
"Next up, Saachi Nidal wasn't content to let our new killers take all the credit today and got another notch in her belt by stabbing Jason Andrews in the back. Not to be outdone, Katarina Konipaski popped up again to fill Alice Gilman full of lead, for a strong finish to our third day.
"Now kiddos, thanks to all your hard work and a few hilarious accidents, your numbers are really starting to dwindle. Because of that, it's time to start bringing everyone a little closer together. The Mess Hall is no longer a Danger Zone, but The Shipping Yard, The Tunnels, The Lighthouse, and The Field of Flowers are all off-limits for at least today. Some of you had better get moving.
"For those of you who have been embracing the spirit of the game, hang in there and keep it up. The rest of you had better make a choice, and soon. Time is going to run out before you know it.
"Have a nice day!"
