Build Up Your Business

**"Build Up Your Business"** is the third episode in the first season of Object Extraordinary. It was written and animated by TropicalT.

## Plot

The episode begins with a shot of a busy Computer Screen. Emerald goes up to him to remind him that Oreo and Book were killed last episode. Computer Screen explains that he was downloading a recovery update before he was interrupted.

Apple, Apple Juice and Sun are discussing the elimination. Apple lists all the reasons why she wants the Lights to get out, but Sun thinks having a mean contestant can save them in future eliminations. Apple Juice, however, agrees with Apple. The prize gets brought up, which Apple thinks she deserves.

We cut to Torch, who Strawberry calls the blandest character on the show. She has decided to help him get a personality, which, according to her, will in exchange grant her a personality as well. Torch completes a series of tasks. His final score turns out to be 8/30, meaning he's bland. He doesn't get mad, which encourages Strawberry to raise his score by one point. Torch admits he does need to change, and thanks her for the help. Strawberry is then teleported away to the elimination area.

After the intro, the first ever elimination of Object Extraordinary begins. The Shamrockers are all welcome to the ceremony. Moon soon makes fun of the 214 votes the show has received for being such a small number compared to other shows. Computer Screen finds his cackling annoying, and throws a golden frying pan at him. He continues and introduces us to TV Screen, his assistant and a feature of his new update. TV Screen displays the likes: Moon has won with 24 votes. His prize is the pan he was thrown. The contestants safe from elimination are revealed one by one, and eventually we see that there's a tie between the bottom two: Moon and Sun. The loser, Moon, falls victim to random chance. (Which, according to Tropical, was done randomly in real life.) Moon's final words before being teleported to the place with no background (an empty white void) are "eliminate Sun next."

The challenge for this episode is the following managing task: the teams must choose either a gym, a restaurant, a grocery store or a bowling alley to manage. Once chosen, they will have to design the building on a holographic screen. After thirty minutes, the establishment will appear. The teams will have some time to hand out jobs before customers start coming in. The winning team will be picked based on the reviews they receive after two hours.

Both teams choose the restaurant. Oreo and Book start designing the building together, which Bally follows with sadness on her face. We jump to the end of the thirty minutes, and the restaurants manifest. Apple Juice distributes jobs to her team, then tapes over Red Light's and Yellow Light's face much to Green Light's satisfaction. The Milky Ways receive their jobs as well. The first costumer the Shamrockers serve is Christmas Stocking. Meanwhile Torch, being at the cash register, has to deal with Crumpet, a stubborn and hotheaded lady demanding crumpets for lunch, even though it's not on the menu. After another cut, Book checks the mail only to find hundreds of complaints presumably from Crumpet. The letters pile up in a mountain that Book gets stuck in.

TV Screen announces the results: The Shamrockers win with a review of 3.5 stars, outweighing the half stars the Milky Ways got. Apple Juice celebrates, then Computer Screen lists all the contestants the viewers may vote for. After the credits, Book is seen still traped in the letters. She asks for help and questions the logic of the show, because everyone but her got teleported at the end of the challenge. The episode ends.

## Trivia

* If Moon hadn't been eliminated, his golden frying pan would have made the food cooked using it taste better.
* The hologram on which the restaurants were designed are inspired by the look and mechanics of the build mode from the Sims games.

## Errors

* Computer Screen explains any dead contestant will be recovered if they died no more than 100,000 miles from the Recovery Platform. Considering the Earth's circumference is 24,901 miles, it's either that the cast of Object Extraordinary lives somewhere bigger than the Earth or the Recovery Platform is able to recover dead contestants beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
* The customers are not listed in the credits.
