Somehow, members of Hololive Myth plus they host Bea gathered on Jackbox QuiPlash game. (zoomer chaos-rat Hakos Baelz, friendly shark Gawr Gura, rapping soul-reaper Mori Calliope, art priestess Ninomae Ina'nis, passionate phoenix Takanashi Kiara and a suspicious detective Watson Amelia) Its a game where they are ordered to behind a curtain write an answers or finisher to various sentences or task. Then during a duel stage they shall pick up the best answer to give it a points.
But this time a (chaos rat) as a host player, puts her chaos-making paws into work, when she used an unregistered mod to modify the game. As she say (to spice up the cooking). This mod brings up at some point a suspiciously convenient roulette; that will pick up a category that connect a two from the six players as a target for a question or sentence. Then when the rest of them will fill the answers, the target duo will have a great power in choosing to who will get an extra points based on them ranking the answers.
Somehow; the duo that was selected was Calli and Kiara to stand in front. But soon as the base sentence (the task question) is revealed to the quartet who shall write the answers, the girls starts to laugh uncontrollable. The question that falls at these two (must fit the duo like a glove onto hand). Nearly instantly, an honest question was directed at Bae; asking her if she rigged the game to push a snipe questions and sentences to whatever she wants.
Whit a genuine expression of (What the heck are you saying?), she honestly asked them; if they are listening to what they are saying? Because that will be too much 'pouwar' [power] in her hands. Then she shout at them that; (They wasting a precious time on a question that is not important at that moment!). She quickly try to say that the mod is based on a script and this matching of couple and the task question is just a happenstance.
Whit a giggle of the rest from the quartet; Calli starts to worry, because its was really suspicious how the rat evaded the answer of the (rigged game?) question. But once again, crazy cook Kiara used this chance to flirt, stating that maybe the phrase is about them being a couple. She even throw a punch line about when she can expect from Calli: (To finally make up her mind). [To Calli make a marriage proposal to Kiara.] Of course that acted as a trigger for (the violent tsundere soul-reaper rapper), to starts to snap from the anticipation.
But… it was time-up for the writers, to present the answers.
.
The trio from the quartet was gigging as conspirators, while Bae called for a god, because she got worried about what the trio write down.
The time went out and the hidden phrase or question, the grand line; get displayed on main screen: "What will be the worst possible part-time job for: (Mori Calliope) and (Takanashi Kiara) to take together. Write a catch phrase or one short line explanation related to that job."
We can already see the instant (Oh shit!!) on Mori face. And utter confusion of Takanashi when she clearly though: (How can any job be bad, when I will be there whit Calli?)
.
.
But the first written entry reveal itself and the reaper was asked to read it aloud: "Get isekai-ed, vacation travel agency!" "Securing and managing (One way!?) moving to other worlds/ realms, for a holiday reasons."
.
Now, whit a convenient exploitation of a plot hole mechanic in this game setting: The flow of time slow for us. So we can observe; what was going through the heads off the two target players in the position of referees.
First one was our Mori Calliope, a daddy like big sis violent tsundere, who-- maybe-- can freak-out while dealing whit buff-up chads. [Very muscular attractive and self confident male whit/or strong personality or ego.] We can go as far with this imagination to the point, where we saw certain flash back; when this reaper was tasked to slay one of those chads. (Maybe he was scheduled for a heart-attack from over training, weightlifters powder food poisoning, story plot, to much enjoying his space-rocket successful carrier of too extreme version of 'working hard', or something else...)
But she found him… (How to say it?)... She found him not just without a shirt… And the girl, from that sudden path crossing, was not able to hold not just her blush, but even her nosebleed.
Its not clear if the (Target) saw her, noticed her presence, or if he actually spoke that (Pick up line) to her. But she freak out as a true tsundere; blood rushed through her veins, she shut her eyes, swung her scythe violently, (without the maiden shriek [kia!!]), subconsciously using her magic. But... She soon realizes, that she was not used the sharp side of her blade to collect his soul… And accidentally, she send him flying. No! She actually, Isekai him to other-world. (And possibly, subconsciously, removed his memory to this particular event.)
And this was not a lone flash back that ended up by screw-up on her side, because this image repeated in similar matter whit another chads, again and again… As instead of collecting them, she (accidentally)sendthem to another world.
Until... she finally stand up in front of her ('death [Shinigami] sensei) who had nerved-out and maybe neurotic (face expression?). [Sensei -teacher, teacher of art or profession and so on. The 'Death' guy – Boss, skeleton guy in black hoodie robe.] They were in a (office?) on (business) discussion. Together they go through the charts and investigation results, pinned on cork info table. There were photos of those who were 'Isekaied' by her. The main issue was a graph of declining (rate of approval?) or (soul composition?), as those who she fail to collect were messing whit the other worlds, alternating the destiny script or the great plan. Plus there was an official complain from other department directed to Calli boss department. The Shinigami explained to his apprentice [Mori], that her actions gave to an Isekai genre a non-canon origin and boost to its popularity.
Because her screw-ups form overworking were piling-up, she was put on hiatus and tasked to fix her personal issues on Earth.
.
If you think Takanashi Kiara had her flash-backs in an easy peace mod; then you are wrong. In past, she had a technical problem: After her death she had been re-spawned at first glance, to a randomly selected world. Only until she finally (Figured it up?) she was capable to be re-spawned, to the same world as where the current gang was. (Even if a score board of the causes of her deaths is lead by a certain tsundere.) We can speculate that if she used something like auto mapping or tracking device or spell,-- and (for simplicity) we say that all of the others-worlds were on the same galaxy, that from the sheer number of her visits,-- she having a galaxy map of places that can be used for a vacation trip. And don't forget that this phoenix is crazy enough to be actually capable of successfully establish this type of business.
.
.
The observation of flash back ended right in moment when a second entry was revealed and Phoenix was tasked to read it: "Parenting advisors!""Hot and Cold parenting counseling. A (Throw them out!), crash course clash battle for social outcasts. If those two bottom left can pull it out, then the world will survive even yours case."
The front duo tried complain to the suspicious sub-context of this claim. But between the laughing of the rest, the team dropped booms like: (Fire hazard work place) and (trowing mischievous rascals onto far distance). Of course when the term (Take them to the Usual room.) arrived, Takanashi whit hesitation admitted that maybe,-- just maybe,-- they are onto something. As for a treat, the quartet uttered a random trivia of the duo messing around in parenting department, failing to be an example to follow.
.
.
Of course Mori was loosing it and angrily yelled: "Next!!"
So she read: "Suicide Hot-line operators." "We (will) get you! Unsubscribing from life in a cool(d) style."
On this, Calliope drop the WTF bomb. Loudly questioning: (Why~y??!!) When Kiara play dumb, somebody mentioned a suspicious high mortality rate, that was directly connected tho they professions and a work place. Additionally someone mentioned that they still don't found the missing (Working environment safety inspectors.). Especially the fire hazard inspector send to KFP. [Kiara fried phoenix/chicken.]
.
.
Mori dint had energy to argue so she just tossed the responsibility to Takanashi.
So the phoenix read: "World-wide peace conference; moderators." "Don't worry,-- its a destiny."
Kiara make a confused expression stating that this is actually a good one job and not the bad one, because they have a lot of experiences. But the entire group give her this (Are you serious?!) stare. Because they can see how it will look when Work-and-holic soul reaper and Phoenix whit world domination agenda; will host this conference. Especially when one is a Moe violent tsundere whit a short fuse and the other is crazy chick whit respawn hacks.
.
.
At this point Mori begged Hakos to confess that she rigged the game. But the rat still stick to her previous statement of happenstance, claiming that the world itself know the best, what is needed to happen.
But on unsurprising matter: somehow a (waiting line) of those who got interested in (the contest of) the game round got lured to the (studio) and just waked to the side of the scene.
First one of them was the nephilim IRyS as harbinger of hope in her tropic holiday outfit. Whit that straw sombrero [big hat], big pitch black sun glasses, Hawaii like shirt, and light tourist bag; she looked excited like some celebrity going on flight trip to distant tropic touristic destination. We shall not forget that she is having a tendencies to be interested in Isekai genre, which she proved it at certain collaboration: (When she heard that certain fridge can Isekai people; without a hesitation, she jumped into the fridge, and got tele-ported back to spawn.)
Second one was a Takane Lui a hawk-girl like executive officer of Secret Society holoX. She was holding in her hands this file folder of some documents, notes and photos. The share volume of this document folder was thick like a massive book and on top of it was a photo of her roommate, the clumsy orca Sakamata Chloe. Even if they were more that a friends it sounded like Lui was more like a mother to Chloe. And as Lui was standing in the line she somehow give-off a feeling that she will kill for a parenting consultation. (Wait, she having actually a two file folders. Who is the second one?)
Third person in line was this (Censored!) named (Censored!) in (Censored!) theme, and somehow she doesn't look like in best mental condition.
Fourth one was crazy-comedinat rabbit Usada Pekora pulling her cart full of somehow unnaturally large, person sized carrots. And on top of them was lady-siting; horned Laplace Demon LaPlus as de-buffed lolly-sized leader of Secret Society holoX whit world domination agenda.
.
When the Watson state a comment or question about why those carrots have an (ignition knot?) pouring out of them, the rabbit sneak close to the blonde whit a metal (money?) suitcase. From it, she grab a pair of golden carrots and put them into the pocket of the detective, whispering words that she shall not worry about unimportant questions.
Actually, when the rabbit backed from Watson, she withdraw from the entire scene. Suspicious, about why Pekora dint return to the line, the detective noticed that the knots were already ignited and slowly burning toward the large carrots. So the detective swear. "Bollocks!" [Rubbish! Nonsense! Oh Shit!]
Gawr Gura instantly followed blonde's gaze and as she saw (it), she made this cool grin of approval. "Nice."
Even Ina followed the gaze whit a broken expression of satisfaction. "Nice." As she raised a finger toward Watson a protective barrier bubble enveloped the detective.
On other hand the host of the show Bae seemed like she was reevaluating her life chooses. "Bruh… Is this the answer you giving me, for all of my extra work?"
At this moment even LaPlus noticed the 'Shhh' from the knot, look down at it, and after realizing what is happening, she froze whit a shocked expression on her face.
.
Now then. Please imagine a roulette circle that sliced the screen like a kaleidoscope. On middle circle part, there was focus on those knots leading the burning fire onto the carrots, imaginary making the count-down of doom. The (roulette numbers) slots on the circuit was filled not by numbers on black and red backgrounds, but whit the camera focuses on faces of everyone who show itself on that studio. (Players and visitors alike.) Facial expression on every single one, was telling its own story about whats are theirs inner thoughts.
And as the burning knot reach the carrots on the cart, the scene turned to blindly white.
.

[Notes:]
-Once again, a one picture or comic page, can tell a thousand of worlds. But, because I am not good enough in drawing (pictures, manga, or comic) to do the picture story telling, I write the thousands of words in hope that the story will be told. This story was siting unfinished for more like a half year and finally got done. It started like an idea for a short moment funny meme or gag for a laugh or smile, but once again it got widened. I got a smile on my face when I write it, so I hope you had to while reading it.
So… Until the next time…
