adapted from a suggestion by /u/xahhfink6

Both teams find themselves transported from wherever they were to what seems to be a board room. In the center of the table that the team is seated around is a computer connected to a projector.

The following message is projected into your team's mind:

"Congratulations on your win. Please enjoy the weekend off. Everything on the table is at your disposal for the remainder of the tournament."

On the table, your team finds 5 sets of house keys, each with a room key on it as well. Also, there are 5 USB sticks, each with the name and picture of a member from your opponent attatched via key to it. And in a brightly colored envelope, you find armbands for SUPER AWESOME MULTIVERSE MUSIC FEST as well as a list of all artists that will be present. Wouldn't you know it...each of your team members favorite artists will be there!

Exploring the house you find yourself in will also reveal a stellar 5 bedrooms, each eerily suited to a different member's needs.

Knowing the competition will not resume for at least a few days, your team takes a short look at the files for each of your opponents before someone on your team reminds them that the festival is going on, like, right now, and we should totally go over there.

Of course, the opposing team is also there. So now the game begins...you really want to listen to the music, so you can't get thrown out...but you can't just let these bastards run free.

So the trick is to see how badly you can cripple your opposing team for the fight that is coming up. That can involve incapacitating them all, of course, but can also just involve making sure there valuable equipment just isn't anywhere to be found or maybe they just drank a little bit too much and have trouble focusing the morning of the fight.

Special rules:

Team Name: Please have your team come up with a team name whilst in the boardroom.

FREEBIRD!: What are each of your characters listening to? Could be as simple as a genre, or a specific band of course.

We're here to enjoy the music!: You may need to fight here, but you aren't happy about it. What you want to do is enjoy all the music... if you kill the bands, get the festival canceled, or get kicked out then you lose will the mission. Otherwise, with the crowd caught up in the music and other events of the festival, they should be pretty distracted.

Eat Sleep Rave Repeat: There are people around 24/7 but you have the whole weekend to take them out or make them leave. Try to do it quickly since it's hard to enjoy yourself with mortal enemies breathing down your neck.

I should have read the file: You got a file about the other team since you'll be fighting them next week, but you only really skimmed it. You should have the general idea what the enemy's powers are but that's it.

Be subtle!: Remember, you don't have to kill the opposing team. You just have to damage them in some way that they would lose in a straight up fight later on. To be clear, you do not have to narrate the resulting fight.

Have fun guys!

I could make more rules in order to better get across what I want to happen, but part of the fun is being surprised but what y'all come up with so I will leave it as is.

Those of you from Round 2A who may feel like you got the shaft by getting a bar instead of a house, don't worry you are getting a similar house next round.

Also, /u/xahhfink6 's scenario was slightly different and made a bit more sense, but I had to adjust it to fit this seasons narrative (as loose as that already is). So I take full blame if this seems like a clusterfuck, but this also should give you a chance to write about something other than just a straight up fight.

Yo, if NewWhiteFeather wins, I think you should use this picture for Dave in the next rounds.

Aha I'm actually not a fan of Homestuck (to put it nicely) so I intentionally left him as lame-looking. I'd be willing to change it though if he (or the other person with a HS character) moves forward.

Awh man, Homestuck's one of my favorite things.

Dave's gonna be an interesting challenge to write about, considering that his time powers are all about the creation of stable time loops, and he has a rather distinctive personality that's incredibly easy to fuck up. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) his time powers also make him the biggest player in this scenario--thanks to time travel, he's lived several days in one day before. In a straight-up fight, he would be far less of a threat, but here, he's gonna make a goddamn killing.

Yeah, this challenge is almost unfairly in his favor.

Scratch that, it is most definitely unfairly in his favor.

I look forward to how your team is going to deal with him. Honestly, I don't have high hopes though.

Challenge is what makes this shit fun; besides, his other fighters are put at a rather extreme disadvantage: Dante can't get too flashy with his fights, Space Marines are hardly subtle, and Majora is going to have to struggle to not kill all the people here.
