Ledges and Edges

**Ledges and Edges** is the second episode of Castle Wars and the 2nd episode of the overall series.

## Plot

### Before the Intro

The episode begins with Fedora requesting a proposal to Frame. Frame, thinking Fedora is a shoe, is excited to hear Fedora's proposal. Fedora tells Frame he's not a shoe, then explains his proposal: he wants to form an alliance with Frame. He notes that Frame will probably be targeted for his lack of mentality, and it would be handy for him to have an ally. Frame accepts the deal, but realizes that since Fedora won immunity last time, he might not be able to vote. Fedora said he had actually asked Ticket about that, and Ticket said all fourteen contestants have the ability to vote. He says that the contestants also get two votes, so each of them can vote somebody twice. In a confessional, Frame tells the viewers he has an idea of who he wants to be eliminated next. He says that he just needs to tell Fedora his plan and then they can get other contestants on their side. The intro then plays.

### The Elimination

Ticket announces that it's time for the elimination, and says that each contestant gets two votes. He tells them to cast their votes and meet him in the castle. A series of confessionals play hinting at who the contestants may vote. Milk states she doesn't trust Fedora, and knows he's trying to manipulate Frame. She says that it would be safer to vote with them in the first few eliminations, however. Tent apologizes to Frame and says he doesn't hate him, but notes that not being able to tell the difference between a tent and a tree won't get anyone far in the show. Scrolly says he feels like everyone tried hard to get the immunity, but there's one contestant that he thinks could've done better and didn't try as hard as the rest. Euro asks the viewers if idiots ever win competitions, and he answers his own question by saying they don't. Bottle Cap apologizes to who she's voting, but mentions that they're the best options.

The elimination then starts, and a TV behind Ticket loads a chart of who's safe. Once it finishes, Ticket reads off the names of the contestants who won immunity: Ottoman, Starry, Scrolly, Milk, Fedora, and Tent. Macaroni teleports to the contestants, which confuses Ottoman. He asks what the macaroni is about, and Ticket says that whenever a contestant is safe, they will get a prize, and that the prizes in that elimination are macaroni. He says that 28 votes were cast, and it is time to reveal them. The TV loads a chart of the votes.

Ticket reveals that Bottle Cap didn't get any votes and is safe first, which makes Bottle Cap happy. She wishes luck to everyone else. Bagel, Cushion, and Marker are declared safe next with 1 vote each. Cushion is happy that both her and Marker are safe and wishes luck to Jarry. Jarry thanks her, as Bagel claims the reason for his safety was that he was closest to winning immunity.

Jarry is safe next, with only 3 votes against her. Jarry is relieved despite not expecting safety. Briefcase is next safe with 4 votes, stating that she also didn't expect safety. She wishes luck to the bottom two, which is Frame and Euro. The TV loads the final votes, and Euro is eliminated with 10 votes. Frame is safe with 8. Euro is upset and asks Ticket if the game is rigged, and he says every vote is genuine. Euro is sent to the dungeon. Euro says: "The dungeon? You mean that dingy part of the castle that hasn't been cleaned for a century?" but is cut off as the platform below him disappears and he falls to the dungeon. Once down there, Euro says that it isn't a dungeon, rather a giant pit. He asks where he is. Domino approaches him and welcomes him to life in "prison". Euro questions who Domino is.

### Before the Challenge

Bottle Cap comforts Briefcase about her not being eliminated, but Briefcase points out that she was still in the bottom three. Bottle Cap says that she believes in them, and that they should try to win immunity in the challenge. In a confessional, Briefcase explains to the viewers why she thinks Bottle Cap is a really good friend to her.

Fedora tells Frame that their plan worked, and asked Frame if he had any other targets in mind. Frame says they should focus on the challenge and think about who to target later, and Fedora thinks that is a logical idea.

### Challenge

Ticket announces that it's time for the second challenge. Near the castle, there is a mountain range and Ticket has suspended a platform above it. He says that they have to stand on the platform as long as possible without getting knocked off by other contestants. The last seven standing win immunity, and the six that fall are up for elimination.

The contestants are teleported onto the platform. Milk announces she needs a plan for the challenge, then explains her plan in a confessional. She is going to dodge anything that comes at her, and doesn't seem to care if she loses. Tent explains that he needs to watch his back, only for Scrolly to push him off. Tent is the first to be up for elimination as he falls next to a bunch of recommended characters. Once Tent is on the ground, he points out to Ticket that he didn't mention the recommended characters last episode and Ticket says that he will get to that later.

The challenge then resumes, and Marker and Cushion send Jarry to knock off Milk. Jarry reluctantly agrees, but reasons that if she breaks or falls, it's Marker's fault. Cushion explains in a confessional that she believes Marker meant well, but notices that she was kind of harsh in her terms. Jarry tells Milk that her alliance told her to knock Milk off. Milk says she has a plan she can put in action and attempts to jump over Jarry, but Milk lands on Jarry instead of the other side of the platform, knocking Jarry over and both end up falling. Once she hits the ground, Jarry is surprised her glass didn't break. Ticket says that Milk and Jarry are up for elimination. Milk tells Jarry that she wants to talk after the challenge, and tells the viewers in a confessional that she overheard the conversation between Jarry and her alliance. She's starting to notice something fishy about Marker.

Bagel walks over to Starry and says that she might be a threat in the challenge due to her ability of flight, and says that he wants to knock her off. Starry explains that she only tries to knock off others when they try to knock off her or her friends, but Bagel doesn't seem to care. Starry says in a confessional that she didn't want to have to knock Bagel off, but says that you need to be able to do anything to win. We then see Bagel falling and it is announced that he is up for elimination. Bagel tells the viewers in a confessional not to mess with Starry if they ever compete in the show.

The challenge once again resumes and Fedora tells Frame to knock off Ottoman. Frame calls Ottoman a seahorse, then tells him that he should be back in the 1800s on a German throne. Fedora is angry that Frame is stalling and yells to knock Ottoman off. Ottoman overhears, and Frame knocks him off instead. Fedora congratulates Frame for finally doing the deed. Fedora tells the viewers in a confessional that Frame is like the little brother he never had, and explains that he is completely loyal but can cause terrible things to happen. He says that these antics are so bad that they're amazing, and that they make your siblings who they are.

Bottle Cap sees Marker and Cushion, and asks Briefcase if she should go attempt to knock one of them off. Briefcase says to be careful if she does, and Bottle Cap attempts to knock off Marker. Marker pushes off Bottle Cap first, which angers Briefcase, and Briefcase knocks off Marker. Scrolly says that Marker and Bottle Cap are falling at the same rate, and wonders who will hit the ground first and be up for elimination.

The scene then cuts to the Dungeon and Domino asks Euro why he hears a lot of screaming. Euro says those screams are familiar to him and that there's probably a challenge going on. Euro asks if there's others besides Domino and himself, and Domino says that a ton of them are in there. Balloon appears and says that he wants to join Castle Wars. Euro assumes that they are the rejects who didn't get into the show, and Domino confirms this. They then hear a strange sound and the challenge resumes.

We see Bottle Cap on the ground with Marker on top of her, implying that Bottle Cap hit the ground first and is up for elimination. Ticket explains this and says that the challenge is over. Bagel, Bottle Cap, Jarry, Milk, Ottoman, and Tent have lost and Ticket says that one will be eliminated in the next episode. Bottle Cap congratulates Briefcase for getting immunity and thanks her for defending her against Marker. Ticket clears up the announcements about recommended characters and says that there will be a scene at the end of every episode. Ticket explains the rules about recommending characters and then the credits appear.

### Stinger

We see Milk and Jarry at night talking to each other. Jarry asks Milk why she wanted to talk to her, and Milk tells her that the alliance is not good for her. She suspects that Marker is plotting against Jarry, and Jarry says that makes sense. She says she was suspicious of Marker from the start of the alliance. She says that Cushion, however, seemed nice to her, and Milk says that she should talk to Cushion before it's too late. Jarry says that she will do that, and Milk wishes her luck when she does. She says she will attempt to get other people to stop Marker in her tracks. The episode then ends.
