Mine Your Own Business

If they're your friend, and they've done a lot for you...
Even if it doesn't make sense, and you don't agree... At all....
You just gotta...
Because maybe, in reality, ....They're right

**"Mine Your Own Business"** is the 13th episode of *Inanimate Insanity II* and was released on November 10, 2018. It is the 31st episode overall.

## Synopsis

When high-energy gems emerge, the contestants are sent into a mysterious cave to mine them out! A scary undertaking? Alone, perhaps. But luckily for them, it's a time for new friends, new allies, and new reluctant acquaintances! A simple challenge: grab a pickaxe and muster the strength to crack the shell. However, as the dig deeper and deeper into the cavernous depths, they find that truths behind the show's origin glow around them, waiting to be revealed. And, of course, among these truths is one of prominence: WHERE’S MEPHONE?

## Plot

### Prologue

The episode opens to reveal Paintbrush recording themself doing an episode recap. As he does a recap of "Alternate Reality Show", you see Test Tube and Yin-Yang exploring a cave. Yin-Yang stumbles upon and befriends a purple robotic arm while Test Tube detects a high energy gem and walks up to touch it. You cut back to Paintbrush, about to end the recap, when the camera suddenly switches off (presumably because of low battery). Test Tube approaches and touches the gem, causing it to glow intensely. You zoom quickly into Test Tube's eye as the screen fades to white. The screen quickly fades to black and the Meeple logo appears. It then fades into one of MePhone4's memories.

### Interlude

The intro plays and you've been brought back to the present time. Yin-Yang attempts to wake up Test Tube and holds up his hand to ask how many fingers he was holding up, only to realize he couldn't hold up any fingers. Toilet and MePad teleport into the area as Yin-Yang runs up and explains the situation while handing the gem to Toilet. MePad takes note of the gem and quickly teleports away. After Toilet claims he can teleport too, and fails, MePad comes back to tell Test Tube that she has earned immunity, confusing her and Toilet. MePad whispers something to Toilet, exciting him, and they both teleport away.

Elsewhere, Trophy walks up to Paintbrush, who is typing on their computer with the egg next to them. Trophy closes Paintbrush's computer to point to the sunset. Paintbrush notes that their still paying attention, pointing out the crack in their egg. Trophy questions if they dropped it, though Paintbrush quickly defends it as Microphone walks in to provide a brooding comment.

Toilet loudly gathers the contestants together by banging on a drumset. MePad explains that the challenge is to find gems in the recently discovered cave. When a contestant touches it, they receive instant immunity. With 6 gems and 7 contestants, the contestant who doesn't get a gem is automatically eliminated. Paintbrush questions the two co-hosts' actions, noting they've broken a pattern and that MePhone4 is missing, though Toilet quickly hushes him as MePad commences the challenge.

### Elimination

Test Tube and Paintbrush argue about who gets to keep the egg, as Paintbrush claims they cares for the egg, Test Tube doesn't trust them. As they argue, MePad and MePhone4 teleport in. Paintbrush notices MePhone4 and approaches him in order to fix things, though he summons the Rejection Portal. Paintbrush, knowing their time is limited, explains to Test Tube that they doesn't want the egg to hatch, keep his patterns, and stay in his shell. Test Tube apologizes as Paintbrush is pushed into the portal by MePhone4, becoming the fourteenth contestant eliminated from *Inanimate Insanity II*. Both MePad and MePhone4 leave as Suitcase and Test Tube look on sadly.
