If This is the Apocalypse, I'm All Four Horsemen

**If This is the Apocalypse, I'm All Four Horsemen** was the eighth episode of Mythvivor: Nile River Valley.

## Story

After the Aqua vote, the eleven castaways returned to camp, a relatively straightforward vote behind them. Zap took to work trying to find the other half of her idol, finding that Lukas had it.

> *LUKAS HAS THE OTHER HALF! I LOVE THAT!* - Zap
>
>

Beetnorf felt that his game was starting to dip, while Luna took to work forming a new alliance with Jack/JTS.

> *I really don't think I'm going a good job if I'm being honest with myself. I need to step up my social game a bit more. Goober Zap and I were close in finding the idol, but we didn't. Unless one of them is lying. I don't think they are though.* - Beetnorf

>  *I approached Jack today about making alliance cause i figured it'd be good to get that going. Love Buck's Babes, but gotta keep myself covered on all corners. So we thinking me, Jack, Gabriel, Tyler and potentially a few more numbers lol. Then next step is to let Coffee know as well so that she can maybe get in with people outside of this alliance I made with jack and then we can have a full circle of information revolving around us.* - Luna
>
>

>  *Okay I’ve corralled the avengers, and a huge part of my strategy this game--because no one knows the real dynamic of me and Coffee--I’m always talking about how much I like people, excluding her.* - Jack
>

Lukas, riding his idol find, was very secure in his position in the game.

> *I could be incredibly mistaken, but if I’m right I’m so set up to make it far in this game without being the target at all. I’m 80% sure that a Khepri is going to be targeted. Then I have Luna and Coffee who are both way bigger targets than me, especially if I throw some immunity challenges to drop my challenge beast label. My main worry is that Luna knows people from other tribes so they may want to keep him around. However now that I have this half idol shared with zap that kind of puts me in a position where maybe Horus wants to keep me around if I promise to use the idol for them. And then of course if something goes wrong I have my bag of tricks which includes a full idol and an extra vote which will come in handy later in the game. I’m not in any alliances with people from other tribes, which could be worrying. However I believe that I’ve made good enough social connections where I could play the middle and people need me to vote with them. I may be over confident but if I’m correct than the viewers will be seeing a lot more of me.* - Lukas

With an Atum member going home at the last tribal council, it seemed that sights were set on a Horusor Khepri member going, with Zap and Beetnorf seemingly targeted on one side, with Gabriel being targeted on the other side.

> *I feel bad for Gabriel. Trying in this game and now people want him out lmaooo. I’m not built for this game.* - Chiruvi
>
>

>  *Aqua gone, now I might have to go after Norf and Zap.* - Tyler
>

A few plans emerged to create a majority alliance comprised of Coffee, Chiruvi, Tyler, Luna and Jack, although the 6th member was up in the air between Goober and Lukas, with Goober hearing both accounts.

> *It's the exact same alliance, except one has me and one has Lukas... No idea what’s going on with this, but detectives Coffee and Goober are on the case.* - Goober
>
>

Jack dispelled any confusion, creating the Carbonado alliance of himself, Goober, Chiruvi, Tyler, Coffee and Luna, excluding Lukas in the process. For their challenge, the castaways were asked to complete a crossword puzzle regarding Egyptian mythology, which Goober won by a considerable margin.

> *Eating up a challenge on Egyptian mythology? Don't mind if I do! Let's get the bill...purr...* - Goober
>
>

> *I threw that challenge how tf did I get 2nd, this is like the worst possible outcome from that lmao* - Lukas
>
>

The majority alliance quickly took to work, setting their sights on either Beetnorf or Zap. Because of his duo with Beetnorf, Goober pitched a case for Zap, hoping to keep his ally safe.

> *We should vote someone like Zap or Norf.* - Jack
>
>

> *I’m keen they are coming for me hard. I would say Norf is probably more dangerous than Zap.* - Tyler
>
>

> *I don't know, I feel like Zap is the brains of that outfit and she’s obviously very good at challenges.* - Goober
>
>

Lukas was worried about his position with Coffee, sensing that she closer to others, while also not wanting to vote out Zap if possible and stressing that the cast was trying to play it too safe. Gabriel, meanwhile, was worried that Beetnorf would target him for their relationship from another ORG.

> *I’m in that weird position where I’m like 85% sure that I’m not Coffee’s number 1 but I’m not really closer to anyone in the game right now so I kinda just gotta suck it up and deal with it for now. It’s kinda like I’m the subservient stay at home parent while Coffee is the hardened bread winner who cheats on me when she’s on business trips and since there isn’t anything better for me out there I just gotta deal with it and pretend I don’t know about her mistresses.* - Lukas
>
>

> *The only name I’ve heard is Zap and I really don’t wanna do that bc she has the other half of the idol. However I’m not gonna play it or let her know about the vote because then that just puts a target on me.* - Lukas
>
>

> *Beetnorf throwing my name cause he’s mad that I voted him out from another org .* - Gabriel
>
>

Ultimately, Beetnorf was left out of the Zap vote in an effort to break up the Zap/Beetnorf duo, sending Zap to the jury in an 9-2 vote.
