## Cave of Trolls - Dixi

Shari, Syd and Chloe all follow the clues to a cosplay at Laser Maze - but will they find the Nameless One lurking beneath one of the masks?.

## Episode Transcript and Timings

Hey, it's Shari, and this is undercover at Laser Maze.

0:00:04 0:00:08
So, since Syd and I realised our nemesisisis...

0:00:08 0:00:11
were the same person, I have a lead on where the Nameless One's

0:00:11 0:00:14
going to be next.

0:00:14 0:00:15
The only problem is, they could be hiding under any mask.

0:00:15 0:00:18
So, keep your eyes peeled. The truth will out while I'm about!

0:00:18 0:00:22
Shari?

0:00:22 0:00:23
-Oh, Addie, I didn't know you were coming.

-Well, I was looking for Eve.

0:00:23 0:00:27
I hate how that Take Back Dixi stuff made us fight,

0:00:27 0:00:29
so I wanted to see if we could patch things up.

0:00:29 0:00:31
Oh! You can! Defos, 100%!

0:00:31 0:00:33
-If Eve was here now she'd be patching all over the place.

-Oh.

0:00:33 0:00:37
-So, she's not here?

-Aww, no, I wish.

0:00:37 0:00:40
-Eve can't stand all of this game-mad Laser Maze stuff.

-Me neither.

0:00:40 0:00:44
Aw, I can't believe I got dressed up like this and she's not even around.

0:00:44 0:00:48
I'm officially the biggest dork here.

0:00:48 0:00:50
I don't know, I think you probably have some stiff competition.

0:00:51 0:00:53
But don't worry, I've got this.

0:00:53 0:00:55
DING!

0:00:55 0:00:56
Mmm. There, sent. Just call me cupid.

0:00:56 0:01:00
And I guarantee Eve will be in touch in no time.

0:01:00 0:01:02
And seeing as I helped you with something,

0:01:02 0:01:04
how do you feel about helping me out on a dark and dangerous mission?

0:01:04 0:01:08
-Do I have a choice?

-Ha-ha!

0:01:08 0:01:10
Greetings, followers, Lord Metamancer here

0:01:10 0:01:12
at the Laser Maze tournament on the ultimate mission of payback.

0:01:12 0:01:15
The Grim Griefer might have killed us in the game,

0:01:15 0:01:17
but we're back from the dead to get our revenge.

0:01:17 0:01:19
Totally. No-one kills Lady Icali and gets away with it.

0:01:19 0:01:23
-You look so good when you're angry and angelic.

-I know.

0:01:23 0:01:26
Grim Griefer, your pathetic attempt to destroy my selfibition

0:01:26 0:01:29
didn't work. I'm already working on bigger, better eflibition.

0:01:29 0:01:34
-Oh, and I'm going to dedicate it to you.

-Syd! Syd!

0:01:34 0:01:37
Shari? Did you follow me here?

0:01:37 0:01:39
What? No. No. I'm here to catch Roly Poly Trolly.

0:01:39 0:01:43
Your Grim Griefer is my Nameless One, remember?

0:01:43 0:01:46
Yeah, but this is my domain, and these are my people.

0:01:46 0:01:49
-And what in the name of planet Zeldon are you wearing?

-What? Oh!

0:01:49 0:01:52
I'm a witch. SHE LAUGHS

0:01:52 0:01:54
Cosplay is pretty much like Halloween, right?

0:01:54 0:01:56
I cannot believe you just said that out loud.

0:01:56 0:01:58
Oh, this is so embarrassing.

0:01:58 0:02:00
Just pretend we don't know each other, OK?

0:02:00 0:02:02
-OVER PA:

-All players ready. Let the battle commence.

0:02:02 0:02:05
Come on. Let's go bag us a troll.

0:02:05 0:02:07
Ugh. Just a whale and a waste of my ammo.

0:02:08 0:02:11
And where is he, already?

0:02:11 0:02:13
A mud Martian? What? Is he, like, stuck in 2014?

0:02:14 0:02:17
Hey!

0:02:17 0:02:19
It's the Gastric Goblin! He's an ally.

0:02:19 0:02:21
Oh. Then peace be with you.

0:02:21 0:02:23
And with you.

0:02:23 0:02:25
Wait! What's that?

0:02:25 0:02:27
Staff member. Wonder what they want. We haven't broken any rules.

0:02:29 0:02:33
What's up?

0:02:33 0:02:34
-LASER FIRE

-Ow!

-Ah! Chloe!

0:02:34 0:02:36
Nooo! Ahhhh!

0:02:36 0:02:39
Chloe. Speak to me.

0:02:39 0:02:41
OMD. These packs really sting when you die.

0:02:42 0:02:46
-And where is that slimeball?

-He's gone.

0:02:46 0:02:48
I can't believe he killed us a second time,

0:02:48 0:02:51
and this time he cheated IRL.

0:02:51 0:02:52
That's it. Now we're really going to make him pay.

0:02:52 0:02:55
-Ahh! Where do you guys think you're going?

-Excuse me?

0:02:55 0:02:58
Laser Maze rules, section seven, clause three...

0:02:58 0:03:02
"Once dead, no player may respawn until after the battle."

0:03:02 0:03:05
I'd hate to have to report you.

0:03:05 0:03:06
But the Grim Griefer's getting away!

0:03:06 0:03:08
Nothing we can do. Laser Maze rules are Laser Maze rules.

0:03:08 0:03:13
OK. Stay cool, Addie. Our troll is in here somewhere.

0:03:13 0:03:16
SHARI SCREAMS

0:03:16 0:03:18
-Are you OK?

-Yeah, obviously.

0:03:18 0:03:21
It was a fake scream, I'm just trying to blend in.

0:03:21 0:03:24
Hey, watch it, Scrappy-Doo!

0:03:25 0:03:28
Thanks for texting Eve, by the way.

0:03:28 0:03:29
I'd hate to leave things as they were.

0:03:29 0:03:31
You know when you meet someone and you just click...?

0:03:31 0:03:33
-SHE GASPS Hey!

-Sorry.

0:03:33 0:03:36
(I think someone's back there.)

0:03:36 0:03:39
Wait here and I'll go flush them out so you can catch them.

0:03:39 0:03:42
Wait, No! Addie, wait! Uggh!

0:03:42 0:03:44
Oh, yeah, great. OK, just leave me on my own so a group of rogue orcs

0:03:44 0:03:48
can come find me(!)

0:03:48 0:03:50
Ah!

0:03:50 0:03:51
Was that a scream? Did the Nameless One get Addie, too?

0:03:51 0:03:56
Allons-y! The hunt is on.

0:03:56 0:03:58
-What are you doing on the floor?

-We can't move because we're dead.

0:04:02 0:04:05
The Griefer is disguised as a staff member. He went that way.

0:04:05 0:04:09
Don't worry, mon frere, I'll avenge you!

0:04:09 0:04:12
SHE GASPS A staff uniform!

0:04:15 0:04:17
They must have escaped through here.

0:04:17 0:04:19
Wait. What are you guys doing here?

0:04:23 0:04:25
Oh, we work here, and that.

0:04:25 0:04:27
We are in-game stewards.

0:04:27 0:04:29
And you're a Laser Mazer too?

0:04:29 0:04:31
Erm...founder member of the Frag Squad Four.

0:04:31 0:04:34
But there are only three of you.

0:04:35 0:04:37
It's called alliteration.

0:04:37 0:04:39
And this area is off limits to players, so...bye.

0:04:39 0:04:42
OMD!

0:04:45 0:04:47
Did I just walk in on a cave of trolls?

0:04:47 0:04:50
Well, I don't know, Orchid, but the fact that all three of them

0:04:53 0:04:56
were at Laser Maze is pretty suspicious.

0:04:56 0:04:58
Oh, finally. Mimi and Isla are meeting Perry in the park.

0:05:00 0:05:03
They've been off Dixi for ages.

0:05:03 0:05:06
Perry here, with an extra-special edition of Perry Presents.

0:05:06 0:05:09
When our showcase journey began, we knew there would be struggles.

0:05:09 0:05:13
We expected highs and lows, laughs and tears,

0:05:13 0:05:16
but none of us could have predicted the Dixi-storm that has broken out.

0:05:16 0:05:20
Now, for the first time, I bring you an exclusive interview

0:05:20 0:05:23
with the shamed starlets at the centre of the scandal,

0:05:23 0:05:26
Mimi and Isla.

0:05:26 0:05:28
Tell us how you feel.

0:05:30 0:05:32
Horrible.

0:05:32 0:05:34
Normally when I'm full of feels, I write a song about it.

0:05:34 0:05:38
I can't even do that.

0:05:38 0:05:39
I'm scared the troll would just re-cut it

0:05:39 0:05:41
and make me look like a bad person...again.

0:05:41 0:05:45
Hard to believe anyone can make you look any worse...

0:05:45 0:05:48
but I feel your pain, Isla.

0:05:48 0:05:50
Mimi, in these past few days on Dixi, you've been called

0:05:50 0:05:54
"A hypocritical bully", "Mimi The Mean",

0:05:54 0:05:57
"An online menace", and just...

0:05:57 0:06:00
"The Worst".

0:06:00 0:06:01
-How do you respond?

-I don't.

0:06:01 0:06:04
I mean, I've locked my phone in a box at the bottom of my wardrobe,

0:06:04 0:06:07
and I've stopped going on Dixi,

0:06:07 0:06:09
cos they're both just full of hate messages.

0:06:09 0:06:12
Sofi-Jade and Shari's Take Back Dixi followers

0:06:12 0:06:15
have certainly made themselves heard.

0:06:15 0:06:18
Maybe it would help if you both apologised again

0:06:18 0:06:21
to all those people you've upset.

0:06:21 0:06:23
We've both said that we're sorry, we don't know what else to do.

0:06:23 0:06:27
But there is one more apology that I should make.

0:06:27 0:06:30
Isla...

0:06:30 0:06:32
-I am so sorry for dragging you into this.

-It's OK.

0:06:32 0:06:36
Singing was my dream, and I hate being backstage.

0:06:36 0:06:40
I still don't understand how lighting works,

0:06:40 0:06:43
and Eve showed me, like, 15 times.

0:06:43 0:06:46
But, you're my bessie, and I know you're not a mean person.

0:06:46 0:06:50
-I'd do it again.

-And I know you're not a bully.

0:06:50 0:06:53
You sticking up for me was brave and kind,

0:06:53 0:06:56
and you're being punished for it.

0:06:56 0:06:59
And you know what? Isla is an amazing singer,

0:06:59 0:07:01
she deserves to be in the spotlight.

0:07:01 0:07:03
Aww, thanks, Meems.

0:07:03 0:07:04
And you auditioned for that part fair and square.

0:07:04 0:07:07
You shouldn't have to give it up.

0:07:07 0:07:10
Whoa, careful, that's custom-made!

0:07:10 0:07:11
We're not going to apologise again.

0:07:11 0:07:14
Everybody has made mistakes. Nobody's perfect.

0:07:14 0:07:17
If you looked on everyone's Dixi history,

0:07:17 0:07:19
there'd be some sort of mistake that they've made,

0:07:19 0:07:21
and we were trying to do something good with our song.

0:07:21 0:07:23
-So, take that, Ryan, and Sofi-Jade, and everyone else.

-Yeah!

0:07:23 0:07:27
We're not the trolls, here.

0:07:27 0:07:29
Mimi! Isla! Finally!

0:07:29 0:07:31
We are joined by surprise guest Shari Doyle.

0:07:31 0:07:33
-Welcome to Perry Presents.

-Thanks, Perry.

0:07:33 0:07:36
I saw the post about your meeting here.

0:07:36 0:07:39
Didn't you guys get any of my messages?

0:07:39 0:07:41
Kind of avoiding the internet at the moment.

0:07:41 0:07:43
And phones, and people.

0:07:43 0:07:45
Cos of the whole angry mob thing.

0:07:45 0:07:49
I know. I know, and I'm so sorry.

0:07:49 0:07:52
This is all my fault.

0:07:52 0:07:53
I started the campaign, but I never thought any of this would happen.

0:07:53 0:07:56
Do you... Do you guys hate me?

0:07:56 0:08:00
Well, this has probably been the worst week of my life.

0:08:00 0:08:03
And my dreams of showcase stardom are dead.

0:08:03 0:08:07
But...

0:08:07 0:08:09
I guess we all make mistakes.

0:08:09 0:08:12
We know you didn't mean for any of this to happen.

0:08:12 0:08:15
Aww!

0:08:15 0:08:16
You guys are the best besties ever! And I swear, I'll make it up to you.

0:08:16 0:08:21
I've left Take Back Dixi, and I am not going to stop

0:08:21 0:08:23
until I unmask the Nameless One for everyone to see.

0:08:23 0:08:26
Will you guys help me?

0:08:26 0:08:29
Well...

0:08:29 0:08:30
I really don't see what else could go wrong at this point.

0:08:30 0:08:33
And we do make a pretty great team.

0:08:33 0:08:36
Yes! This troll is not going to hurt anyone else.

0:08:36 0:08:39
And I've got a plan and everything. Come on, let's go!

0:08:39 0:08:42
What a show.

0:08:46 0:08:48
Surprise guest, emotional reunions,

0:08:48 0:08:51
all brought to you exclusively by me, Perry.

0:08:51 0:08:53
And I've got a feeling there's more drama to come.

0:08:56 0:08:59
Yeah! Got my besties back!

0:08:59 0:09:01
Oh, and Perry's posted his promo again.

0:09:01 0:09:03
Wait a second. That's not from Perry.

0:09:03 0:09:06
Hi, you're watching Perry Presents "Backstage..."

0:09:06 0:09:09
AUDIO DISTORTS

0:09:09 0:09:11
I'll sneak around behind the scenes.

0:09:11 0:09:13
There's no skill here.

0:09:13 0:09:14
Let's look weird.

0:09:14 0:09:16
How are you feeling?

0:09:16 0:09:17
-DISTORTED VOICE:

-You won't see Mi-mi-Mimi.

0:09:17 0:09:20
She's already dropped out.

0:09:20 0:09:22
CATS WAIL AND SCREECH

0:09:22 0:09:25
And you won't hear Isla screeching,

0:09:25 0:09:27
because she's been sent backstage...

0:09:27 0:09:30
to join the losers who aren't good enough to be onstage.

0:09:30 0:09:34
I've already destroyed the selfish exhibition.

0:09:34 0:09:38
Now, I'll destroy the rest of the showcase,

0:09:38 0:09:41
and turn your dreams to nightmares.

0:09:41 0:09:45
Look on my works, losers,

0:09:45 0:09:48
and despair.
