Timing
Plot Summary
Match found himself the winner of a set of VIP tickets to the Excelsior Digital Interactive Experience held at the Jacob Javits Centre. He and a host of other mansionites go to the event, expecting what is heralded as "the next stage in gaming." They instead found themselves drugged in the VR theater and kidnapped, moved to an undisclosed location to participate in the latest version of Arcade's Murderworld based upon old school video games.
Sharon, while knocked out, is forgotten by staff after she reflexively shapeshifted into her small cat form. She woke up alone and went to investigate where her friends went.
Meanwhile, everyone else found themselves paired to participate in a themed interactive experience that resulted in a choice: sacrifice one to let the other live.
- Clea and Paige awake in the world of Tomb Raider.
- Emily and Rogue experience Silent Hill.
- Madin and Mel battle royale in Super Smash Brothers.
- Match, Inez and Liam barrel their way through Donkey Kong.
- Jesse and Shatterstar see the wasteland of Fallout.
- Jono and Ashley plumb through the obstacles of Super Mario.
- Rictor and Hope steal hearts in the world of Persona.
The operations behind the event were tossed into panic due to the stealthy machinations of Sharon. Her assault of the support staff and infrastructure freed everyone else before their situations proved fatal and they proceeded to fight their way to freedom. With this chaos ensuing, Arcade triggered a self destruct sequence that imploded the venue upon anyone who could not evacuate.
The mansionites escape Murderworld intact, only to see it destroyed behind them.
Plot Aftermath & Followup
Garrison Kane posted an all teams readout after consulting with local law enforcement. Arthur Centino followed up on this, interviewing members of the event venue and local hospital. Arthur and Jessica Jones went to survey the ruins of the demolished Murderworld.
Sharon informed Felicia of her savior status, while Madin and Mel confronted each other about choices made inside the life or death simulation.

Trivia
The targeting of the younger members of the mansion was in direct contravention to the rules Jacob Lowenstein gave his nephew when he handed over the title of Arcade. It remains to be seen how Uncle Jacob reacts to this.
