FILED2B 2: Memento mori

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:02]Huh?

[00:00:04]Oh, right. I don't even remember falling asleep.

[00:00:09]>> You awake?

[00:00:10]>> Yeah.

[00:00:12]Sleeping is like being inanimate again.

[00:00:16]>> Yeah, I miss it.

[00:00:18]>> Me, too.

[00:00:19]>> Since when were you awake?

[00:00:21]>> For a while now. I've been thinking about USB.

[00:00:25]>> Forget about them. They don't look past themselves either. I'm sure.

[00:00:37]Since most of you are already awake, please find the lunchroom for breakfast.

[00:00:42]I swear I'll never get used to that thing.

[00:00:44]>> I wonder what we're having this time.

[00:00:47]So, these are pancakes, huh?

[00:00:53]>> M tasty.

[00:00:54]>> M. Yeah, these are really tasty.

[00:00:58]>> You're not going to eat, USB? Are you okay?

[00:01:01]>> What? No, I'm just not hungry.

[00:01:05]>> You know, USB, you really should eat.

[00:01:10]This is your last meal after all.

[00:01:13]>> Oh, yeah. And like I've seen you eat anything since we got here.

[00:01:19]>> Okay.

[00:01:22]Please find and enter the elimination room when you're all done.

[00:01:48]Um, well, I should go now.

[00:01:53]I'm sorry. USB, >> whatever.

[00:02:01]>> Um, what is USB getting here?

[00:02:06]I'll go check up on them.

[00:02:10]I seriously hate when they do that.

[00:02:53]Um, USB, it's time. No, you can't make me go. Why the hell would you do this?

[00:03:05]What's wrong with you?

[00:03:08]I don't I just I don't want to be alone.

[00:03:19]Please don't don't make me go.

[00:03:27]It'll get easier as time passes, you know.

[00:03:32]>> Please, just give me a second chance.

[00:03:40]Okay, listen. Let's make a deal. You can either come with me to the voting room to get this all over with, and one day I'll bring you back to reality.

[00:03:51]I'll give you the choice to become inanimate once again, or to continue living as you were. Or I could eliminate you right here, right now, regardless of anything, and I'd never come to get you.

[00:04:06]M >> I don't deserve this.

[00:04:16]>> Um yeah, you do.

[00:04:57]They're gone now.

[00:05:00]Where do they go?

[00:05:02]>> The real world.

[00:05:04]>> Wait, what do you mean real? It is this not real?

[00:05:09]>> Oh, no. It's real. Very real. It's just that this is my reality. You originally came from there. I sent you here to this place I call home in spaceime, a fourdimensional reality. You come from the third dimension. That's why if I interact with your physical body, time glitches and you get sent back to your own reality.

[00:05:33]But don't go getting any stupid ideas.

[00:05:36]>> Wait, so there's more of us out there or what? I don't get it.

[00:05:41]>> Well, technically, yes, but they're not sentient like you are. I made you this way. Most Earthlings are sentient where you're from, although it's primarily just humans who function like you.

[00:05:54]>> Wait, what? What is that?

[00:05:59]How do I explain this?

[00:06:02]Humans are the dominant life form in your original reality. They think, feel, and build things, but they're also careless.

[00:06:12]They own objects. You technically tools, decorations, machines. Every single one of you was made to serve a purpose for them. Objects don't speak, they don't think. In that world, you're silent, motionless, background clutter.

[00:06:30]A lost and found is where I found you all. A place humans use to store things they've misplaced. Keys, wallets, sometimes things like you. It's where lost objects go just in case someone notices they're lost and would like to return them to their previous owners.

[00:06:45]>> Wait, Marlene Ashwell, is that the human who owned me?

[00:06:50]>> Most likely. Oh, wow. So, someone lost me.

[00:06:56]>> How do you lose a time puncher?

[00:06:59]>> Wow, that's crazy. I was needed for something.

[00:07:03]>> Yeah.

[00:07:05]Well, now that that's out of the way, let's start heading to the game room so we can begin the second challenge.

[00:07:12]Oh.

[00:07:15]All right, people. For today's challenge, you'll be preparing your own meals for dinner. Lasagna. Seems pretty nerval, right?

[00:07:26]All right. You guys want to get that joke? Well, not quite. Each of you will have a unique challenge to face. One of you won't be able to speak. One of you won't be able to hear. One of you won't be able to see. And one of you can't do anything except read the instructions aloud. You'll need to rely on limited communication, teamwork, and trust.

[00:07:48]You'll be judged by effort. So, the person who contributes the least is the loser of the challenge. Oh, and don't worry. I've made sure each of you has the necessary knowledge to cook. I've wired your brains with the basic understandings of preparing dishes. So, even with your limitations, you'll still be able to follow the steps. All right, then. Stamp. You'll read the instructions out loud. Ink, you'll be mute. Letter, you'll be blind. And time, you'll be deaf. Here's a full recipe.

[00:08:20]Stamp.

[00:08:22]Letter. Here's a blindfold.

[00:08:25]Time. Here's some noise cancelling headphones. And ink. Here's mouth tape.

[00:08:34]None of you are allowed to take off your gear until you've completed the challenge. You all have until dinner.

[00:08:40]Don't rush. I'll be taking notes.

[00:08:55]H. Okay. Well, the first step is to preheat the oven to 375° F.

[00:09:05]>> Oh, okay. Uh, I think Ink is ready for the next instruction.

[00:09:10]>> Okay. In a large pan over medium heat, splash a bit of oil. And once hot, add one finely chopped onion. Then cook until soft, about 5 minutes. So, you might want to start chopping up an onion.

[00:09:28]Um, sorry, Ink. I would toss you an onion, but you know, I can't see.

[00:09:55]Oh, you want me to chop it up, don't you?

[00:10:04]Three. Add two minced garlic cloves and stir until fragrant.

[00:10:11]>> Hey guys, can I help with anything yet?

[00:10:14]Okay, I'll check in later. Four, add a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground Italian sausage. Break it apart and cook until brown throughout. Five, pour in half a cup of red wine. Stir and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to delaze the pan.

[00:10:32]>> How about now? Ink stamp.

[00:10:36]>> Uh, you can find the red wine for step five. Oh, that's right. Sorry. There's not much you can do at the moment. We'll let you know when you're needed. Oh, no worries.

[00:10:47]>> Six. Add a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, a 6 oz can of of tomato paste, and 2 tepoon of sugar.

[00:11:00]>> Okay, we're done.

[00:11:03]>> Season with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and a pinch of chili flakes.

[00:11:08]Let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, begin preparing the cheese mixture, which is >> Okay, I'm sorry to keep on bothering you all, but I should probably help now, right?

[00:11:26]>> Uh, I don't think Ink agrees with what you just said, >> but I can help, too. It can be anything.

[00:11:34]Maybe I could stare at the sauce.

[00:11:36]>> Letter, put that down.

[00:11:38]>> Why? I I just wanted to help. I I don't want to give someone an L either, you know.

[00:11:43]>> Oh my god. Ink, letter, just go away.

[00:11:47]>> Oh god. Um, Ink here. Come here.

[00:11:53]>> Wait, what happened? Can I take my blindfold off?

[00:11:57]>> No. Letter. Keep it on. You just made a mistake. It's okay.

[00:12:05]We'll be back, guys.

[00:12:07]I I don't understand what happened. Can someone tell me?

[00:12:15]>> It's better if you don't know. Letter.

[00:12:17]It's fine. Anyway, Spencer said so.

[00:12:24]In a large bowl, combine 15 oz of ricotta cheese, one beaten egg, 1/4 grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tspoon of parsley or basil. Mix until smooth. Step 10. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook nine lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.

[00:12:46]Okay, time to layer. In a 9 by13in baking dish, start with the spoonful of sauce and spread thinly on the bottom.

[00:12:53]Lay down three noodles side by side.

[00:12:56]Spread a layer of ricotta mixture on top, followed by a layer of meat sauce, then a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.

[00:13:04]Repeat this process, noodles, ricotta, sauce, and mozzarella until you've used all the noodles. Finish with sauce and a final layer of mozzarella and grated parmesan on top. Cover the dish with foil. T it slightly so it doesn't stick to the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes.

[00:13:21]Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Yep, that's it.

[00:13:35]>> Wow, you guys finished earlier than I expected. I'll be taking this to the lunchroom.

[00:13:43]Oh, and by the way, you can take off your gear now.

[00:13:50]Wow, we did super good for deaf and mute people, >> right? That looked delicious. It's hard to believe we made it. And you too, Stamp. We couldn't have done it without you.

[00:14:00]>> Yeah, literally. Oh well, I can't take all the credit even though I have been reading for the past two days.

[00:14:11]>> And letter, you were so good as well.

[00:14:16]>> Yeah, look, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. It's just, you know, and not to mention we were under all that pressure and I thought we were running out of time and I I guess there's nothing to worry about, right?

[00:14:33]>> Yeah, right. It's okay time. I get it.

[00:14:38]Really? I too.

[00:14:41]>> I'm going to the bathroom, guys. I'll be back.

[00:14:46]>> Huh. I wonder who's getting voted out.

[00:14:49]>> Yeah.

[00:14:51]Well, where did I leave my clipboard?

[00:14:55]Oh, right.

[00:14:59]Um, it's letter. All right. They're they, you know, I'm just keeping the rules. Um, sorry, letter.

[00:15:13]You all may head to the lunchroom now.

[00:15:15]Dinner is served.

[00:15:18]So this is lasagna, huh?

[00:15:30]You guys can head to bed once you're done. Thank you for the food. It's delicious.

[00:15:41]Heat.

[00:16:01]Heat.

[00:16:27]in the heaven.
