The Talent Competition

Story so far

Theobald abruptly orders every entrant backstage while combat escalates outside. The first performer, Cleiton, opens with an awkward and poorly prepared comedy routine as the judges continue drinking.

Donut learns she will headline and wants to retain the velociraptor finale. Carl instead limits the act to her song, Britney's guitar, and Tina's dance, instructing them to escape immediately if the seal breaks.

The competition continues as Ferdinand enters the crawlers' ballroom and Queen Imogen finally arrives, activating the party's sealed state.

Appearance

A formal ballroom stage under a spotlight while anxious contestants wait backstage and drunken judges watch.

Role

The competition is the ritual phase and timing window around which the coalition's escape plan is built.
