Chloe, where are you?

0:00:04 0:00:06
I'm here.

0:00:06 0:00:08
I don't see you.

0:00:08 0:00:09
I'm literally right next to you.

0:00:09 0:00:10
Where?

0:00:10 0:00:11
Are you invisible?

0:00:13 0:00:14
Typical.

0:00:18 0:00:19
My brother's just messing around, gaming.

0:00:19 0:00:21
Some of us have a mystery to solve.

0:00:21 0:00:24
Well, luckily, I've got a plan.

0:00:24 0:00:26
Hey, it's Shari,

0:00:26 0:00:27
and welcome to my first day co-directing while detecting.

0:00:27 0:00:31
You can call me your under-cover show-runner.

0:00:31 0:00:33
Ooh, that would be a great band name!

0:00:33 0:00:35
Thanks, Isla.

0:00:35 0:00:36
But the point is, now that Mimi's gone all leading lady on me,

0:00:36 0:00:40
I have to stick to Benedict like glue to expose him as

0:00:40 0:00:42
the Nameless One.

0:00:42 0:00:43
Speaking of,

0:00:43 0:00:45
why isn't he here?

0:00:45 0:00:47
That's suspicious.

0:00:47 0:00:48
Suspicious.

0:00:48 0:00:50
No, that's the bus route.

0:00:50 0:00:52
And sorry to ruin your master plan,

0:00:52 0:00:53
but isn't it going to be a bit much -

0:00:53 0:00:55
directing the showcase and spying on Benedict?

0:00:55 0:00:58
Please! Directing is easy.

0:00:58 0:00:59
All I have to do is swan around and wear a beret.

0:00:59 0:01:01
-Comme ci?

-Nice.

0:01:01 0:01:03
Berets are important.

0:01:03 0:01:05
Particularly when you're going undercover.

0:01:05 0:01:07
And plus, you guys will be helping me, right?

0:01:07 0:01:09
I'm going to be pretty busy backstage.

0:01:09 0:01:11
And I'm more music than drama.

0:01:11 0:01:13
But you'll be fine, Shari.

0:01:13 0:01:15
You're great at drama.

0:01:15 0:01:17
Hey!

0:01:17 0:01:18
Fine. I'll just do this whole thing myself.

0:01:18 0:01:20
And it'll be worth it to stop the Nameless One

0:01:20 0:01:22
after what they did to our audition video.

0:01:22 0:01:24
"Look on my works, losers, and despair."

0:01:24 0:01:27
-I'll show them.

-Where's that from?

0:01:27 0:01:29
I've heard it before.

0:01:29 0:01:30
It's from the nameless troll that recut our audition film.

0:01:30 0:01:34
I saw that.

0:01:34 0:01:35
Dixi really needs to crack down on the anonymous cyber hate.

0:01:35 0:01:38
Oh, that's where it's from. Last week,

0:01:38 0:01:40
some random anon posted the exact comment on her Bongo Boogie blog.

0:01:40 0:01:44
OMD, that's a clue!

0:01:44 0:01:46
Oh, it has to tell us something!

0:01:46 0:01:48
What does it tell us?

0:01:49 0:01:51
That whoever's doing this speaks like a bad James Bond villain.

0:01:51 0:01:56
No. It tells us that the Nameless One's been lurking around on Dixi

0:01:56 0:02:00
for longer than we thought.

0:02:00 0:02:02
Hey, guys.

0:02:02 0:02:03
-Loving the new song.

-Oh, thanks, Perry.

0:02:03 0:02:05
What song?

0:02:05 0:02:06
Oh, I saw Addie and Sofi-Jade's Bongo Boogie blog, too.

0:02:06 0:02:09
And I gave it a thumb,

0:02:09 0:02:10
and then we decided to do a song together.

0:02:10 0:02:12

1. Bongo

0:02:12 0:02:14

1. Bongo boogie

0:02:14 0:02:16

1. Goes right through me

0:02:16 0:02:19

1. Always moves me. #

0:02:19 0:02:23
Nice.

0:02:23 0:02:24
OK, he's here. Play it cool.

0:02:24 0:02:25
He can't know we know he's the Nameless One.

0:02:25 0:02:27
Oh, that's easy, because we don't know he's the Nameless One.

0:02:27 0:02:30
-You guys think Benedict's the Nameless One?

-Shh!

0:02:30 0:02:32
Hey, Benny!

0:02:32 0:02:34
It's only my co-director, Benny!

0:02:35 0:02:38
It's Benedict.

0:02:38 0:02:39
Three syllables.

0:02:39 0:02:41
So I think we should totally spend today together,

0:02:41 0:02:43
go over scripts and stuff, now that we're co-directors.

0:02:43 0:02:46
Thanks, but no thanks.

0:02:46 0:02:49
Just because you hijacked my play doesn't mean we actually

0:02:49 0:02:52
have to hang out together.

0:02:52 0:02:53
I didn't hijack anything. Miss Malik chose us both.

0:02:53 0:02:55
Well, clearly, she isn't thinking straight.

0:02:55 0:02:57
She even ignored my letter of protest.

0:02:57 0:02:59
You wrote a letter of protest?

0:02:59 0:03:01
Of course.

0:03:01 0:03:02
Do you really think I want you lumbering along beside me,

0:03:02 0:03:05
trampling all over my work?

0:03:05 0:03:06
The only way this partnership is going to work is if

0:03:06 0:03:09
you sit back and let me run the show.

0:03:09 0:03:12
Since you ask so nicely,

0:03:12 0:03:14
how about NO?

0:03:14 0:03:15
See, unlike you,

0:03:15 0:03:16
I'm going to do more than just stand around looking pretentious.

0:03:16 0:03:19
I have creativity to express.

0:03:19 0:03:20
Well, maybe you should channel your creativity into something

0:03:20 0:03:23
more appropriate for your skill set.

0:03:23 0:03:25
Like finger painting?

0:03:25 0:03:27
Leave the theatre to me.

0:03:27 0:03:28
I have vision.

0:03:28 0:03:30
Yeah, well, Shari has a beret.

0:03:30 0:03:32
-Yep.

-I rest my case.

0:03:32 0:03:34
Unbelievable!

0:03:36 0:03:37
I have loads of vision,

0:03:37 0:03:39
you...pamplemousse!

0:03:39 0:03:40
Did you just call him a grapefruit?

0:03:41 0:03:43
Yeah, well, he deserved it.

0:03:43 0:03:44
And did you see how he refused to spend today with me?

0:03:44 0:03:47
I mean, what's he doing that means I can't be there?

0:03:47 0:03:49
Oh, no.

0:03:49 0:03:51
-What is it?

-Another video on Dixi. Don't look.

0:03:51 0:03:54
DRUMBEATS REPLACED WITH BURPS, BOOING IN THE BACKGROUND

0:03:54 0:03:56
-UNNATURALLY HIGH VOCALS

-# Bongo, Bongo boogie

0:03:56 0:03:58

1. Goes right through me Always moves me. #

0:03:58 0:04:02
No! They ruined our vlog!

0:04:03 0:04:05
Why would someone do that?

0:04:05 0:04:07
It's the Nameless One.

0:04:07 0:04:09
And if they're picking on Sofi-Jade and Addie as well then

0:04:09 0:04:12
that means that they're not just after the Drew Fletcher kids -

0:04:12 0:04:14
they're after all of us!

0:04:14 0:04:16
I know, CuriousGirl - that remix was totally horrible.

0:04:18 0:04:22
Have fun gaming, Chloe, but I've got my own mission -

0:04:23 0:04:26
bring down Benedict!

0:04:26 0:04:27
ELECTRONIC MUSIC

0:04:27 0:04:30

1. Put your left arm in

0:04:30 0:04:32

1. Left arm out. #

0:04:32 0:04:33
Chloe, finally!

0:04:34 0:04:36
I've been looking forward to some quality quest time.

0:04:36 0:04:38
No soppy stuff, Syd.

0:04:38 0:04:39
I want to slay something.

0:04:39 0:04:42
Bad day?

0:04:42 0:04:43
This showcase is so stressful!

0:04:43 0:04:45
I had to take a billion selfies today.

0:04:45 0:04:48
I think I strained my thumb.

0:04:48 0:04:49
On the upside, remember that rebel dwarf clan from the bog lands?

0:04:49 0:04:53
I went on a raid, earlier.

0:04:53 0:04:54
Guess who got their battle-axe!

0:04:54 0:04:56
Sweet.

0:04:56 0:04:57
Let's go find that level nine goblin.

0:04:57 0:04:59
I'm going to win his war hammer.

0:04:59 0:05:01
I like that guy.

0:05:01 0:05:03
Maybe I should do a goblin segment on Orc Talk.

0:05:03 0:05:05
Ew! Goblins are like the dorks of the kingdom.

0:05:05 0:05:09
True. He was kind of dorky at the laser maze tournament.

0:05:09 0:05:12
But I need guest stars.

0:05:12 0:05:14
You need a star, and you think goblin?

0:05:14 0:05:16
Hello!

0:05:16 0:05:17
I'll come on and talk about my new game -

0:05:17 0:05:20
Zappy Orcs by Chloe.

0:05:20 0:05:22
It's going to be awesome.

0:05:22 0:05:23
Perfect! We could do a live chat on coding and...

0:05:23 0:05:26
Score!

0:05:26 0:05:27
Try the key of acquirement.

0:05:30 0:05:32
Ugh! You will not believe what Zoe just posted on Dixi!

0:05:32 0:05:35
Are you on Dixi right now?

0:05:35 0:05:36
We're meant to be on a mission!

0:05:36 0:05:38
And who is Zoe?

0:05:38 0:05:40
A total wannabe.

0:05:40 0:05:41
Clearly intimidated by me.

0:05:41 0:05:43
And she has this silent girl follow her around and carry her bags.

0:05:43 0:05:46
Who does that?

0:05:46 0:05:48
Ha! Right.

0:05:48 0:05:49
Definitely no-one I know.

0:05:49 0:05:51
Finally, the sacred stone of Alrof!

0:05:54 0:05:58
Come to Papa!

0:05:58 0:05:59
Hey! You're not the goblin guy.

0:06:01 0:06:04
-DEEP VOICE:

-Tremble before me, Elf Lord.

0:06:04 0:06:06
Who are you?

0:06:06 0:06:07
And what's with the Vader voice?

0:06:07 0:06:08
I am the Grim Griefer,

0:06:08 0:06:10
and I am your nemesis.

0:06:10 0:06:11
I saw your latest Orc Talk and it was pathetic.

0:06:11 0:06:14
Back off.

0:06:14 0:06:15
No-one insults my boyfriend except me.

0:06:15 0:06:17
Yeah. What?

0:06:17 0:06:19
You're both losers.

0:06:19 0:06:20
Losers? Have you seen my kill count?

0:06:20 0:06:23
And your girlfriend's out of your league.

0:06:23 0:06:25
Erm...we're in the exact same guild.

0:06:25 0:06:27
Fire spell!

0:06:27 0:06:28
-BOTH:

-Hey!

0:06:29 0:06:30
Get behind me.

0:06:30 0:06:32
You fight well, for doomed elves.

0:06:32 0:06:34
Hey, the sacred stone! That's mine!

0:06:37 0:06:39
It was yours, fool.

0:06:39 0:06:41
But you cannot stand against my cheat codes.

0:06:41 0:06:43
-But that's cheating!

-Yes.

0:06:43 0:06:45
And this is losing.

0:06:45 0:06:46
Ice spell!

0:06:46 0:06:47
Ugh! He's frozen us.

0:06:49 0:06:51
Thanks for the stone, Elf Lord.

0:06:51 0:06:53
Or should I say Syd Doyle?

0:06:53 0:06:55
And I'll be back.

0:06:55 0:06:56
I won't rest until both of you are banished from the kingdom forever.

0:06:56 0:07:00
Hey, get back here and fight me like a real troll.

0:07:00 0:07:03
Syd, clear your gaming schedule.

0:07:03 0:07:06
We have a new mission.

0:07:06 0:07:08
Slay that guy.

0:07:08 0:07:10
It is on!

0:07:10 0:07:11
Watch out, Grim Griefer.

0:07:11 0:07:13
You just messed with the wrong elves!

0:07:13 0:07:15
Thanks, Scorpion.

0:07:18 0:07:20
They're not getting away with this!

0:07:20 0:07:22
Oh, why's Shari posting another video?

0:07:22 0:07:25
She's on an arts course. How much drama can there be?

0:07:25 0:07:29
Guys, stop torturing yourselves.

0:07:29 0:07:32
I thought people liked my songs.

0:07:32 0:07:34
I've only just put my channel up and it's already been trolled.

0:07:34 0:07:37
You can't let it get to you.

0:07:37 0:07:38
We have to fight back!

0:07:38 0:07:40
Shari's right.

0:07:40 0:07:41
You can throw shade on my page in your twisted hate crusade,

0:07:41 0:07:44
but that kind of messing won't stop me expressing.

0:07:44 0:07:47
I'm Sofi-Jade and I won't be played.

0:07:47 0:07:50
Yeah! What she said.

0:07:50 0:07:51
We have to focus on bringing Benedict down.

0:07:51 0:07:53
Why are you so convinced he's the Nameless One?

0:07:53 0:07:56
Whoever it was, they made us look like total idiots.

0:07:56 0:07:59
We worked really hard on that,

0:07:59 0:08:00
and some anonymous user just trashes it.

0:08:00 0:08:02
And they mocked my percussion.

0:08:02 0:08:04
Bongos are a complex instrument.

0:08:04 0:08:05
Rhythm isn't easy, you know?

0:08:05 0:08:07
It's horrible.

0:08:07 0:08:08
Just try to ignore it.

0:08:08 0:08:09
I know! How about we go to that Save The Otters march in town?

0:08:09 0:08:13
I've already made badges.

0:08:13 0:08:14
Plus the protesters love it when people bring their own bongos...

0:08:14 0:08:18
Thanks, but I'm not in the mood. I think I'm just going to go home

0:08:18 0:08:20
and watch monster movies till I feel better.

0:08:20 0:08:22
Eve, are you OK?

0:08:24 0:08:26
No. I'm not OK.

0:08:26 0:08:27
I'm so over all this online angst.

0:08:27 0:08:29
Hey, it upset me too, but I think you're overreacting.

0:08:29 0:08:32
Overreacting?

0:08:32 0:08:33
You have no idea how much Dixi drama I've had to put up with.

0:08:33 0:08:37
First the Dixi Killer, then a cyber ghost,

0:08:37 0:08:39
and now some nameless troll who keeps picking on my friends.

0:08:39 0:08:42
Enough is enough!

0:08:42 0:08:44
-I'm out.

-Out of what?

0:08:44 0:08:45
Out of Dixi.

0:08:45 0:08:46
OK, yeah, yeah, yeah -

0:08:46 0:08:48
log out until you've calmed down. Not that you need to calm down!

0:08:48 0:08:51
And then, when you sign back in tomorrow,

0:08:51 0:08:53
-this will all feel much better.

-I'm not logging out.

0:08:53 0:08:55
I'm deleting my account.

0:08:55 0:08:57
-Chloe, no!

-You can't!

0:08:57 0:08:58
I can and I have.

0:08:58 0:09:00
Let's see what the Nameless One has to say about that.

0:09:00 0:09:03
Eve's really gone.

0:09:05 0:09:07
Look - she's not in my friends list.

0:09:07 0:09:10
I can't believe my best friend has been chased off Dixi by a troll.

0:09:10 0:09:13
I mean, how am I meant to get through this without her?

0:09:13 0:09:16
She'll still be here. Only...

0:09:16 0:09:18
IRL only.

0:09:18 0:09:19
That's not the same. I do everything on Dixi.

0:09:19 0:09:21
She can't just abandon me.

0:09:21 0:09:22
Who's going to read all of my hilarious comments?

0:09:22 0:09:25
And, you know, if we all just give up and, and, and, sign out,

0:09:25 0:09:28
then we're letting the Nameless One win.

0:09:28 0:09:30
You're right. Music is my life.

0:09:30 0:09:32
I can't stop sharing songs cos of one horrible post.

0:09:32 0:09:34
Exactly.

0:09:34 0:09:35
I'm going to upload a new song tomorrow.

0:09:35 0:09:37
Now you're talking!

0:09:37 0:09:38
And you've got the perfect costume.

0:09:38 0:09:40
Brilliant! What?

0:09:40 0:09:42
Oh, thanks, Shari.

0:09:42 0:09:44
This is going to be epic!

0:09:44 0:09:45
Great(!) But I still need to prove Benedict's the Nameless One.

0:09:45 0:09:48
And once we catch him, Eve can come back on Dixi

0:09:48 0:09:51
and everything can go back to normal.

0:09:51 0:09:53
Hey, guys. What's going on?

0:09:53 0:09:54
Just coming up with a plan to unmask Benedict as

0:09:54 0:09:56
-the Nameless One.

-Ooh, I know -

0:09:56 0:09:58
we could go to tomorrow's rehearsal and ask Benedict if it's him.

0:09:58 0:10:03
Maybe...a bit sneakier than that.

0:10:03 0:10:05
Just as long as whatever it is doesn't mess up the rehearsal.

0:10:05 0:10:08
I've been working on this for, like, a solid day now,

0:10:08 0:10:11
and I've finally learned all my lines.

0:10:11 0:10:13
That's it.

0:10:13 0:10:14
I need to rewrite the play!

-What?

-Oh, this is perfect!

0:10:15 0:10:17
And then you and Ryan can say my lines instead of his lines.

0:10:17 0:10:20
-There are new lines?

-And I'll write in all the mean comments

0:10:20 0:10:23
-the Nameless One has posted.

-How will that help?

Benedict might think he's some bigshot director,

0:10:26 0:10:28
but I bet he can't act to save his life.

0:10:28 0:10:30
Imagine how shocked he'll be if the characters in his play start saying

0:10:30 0:10:33
all the horrible stuff he's been secretly posting online.

0:10:33 0:10:36
He'll totally give himself away!

0:10:36 0:10:38
Ha-ha!

0:10:38 0:10:39
Mimi, you're getting a whole new speech!

0:10:39 0:10:42
Look on MY works, Benedict, and despair.

0:10:42 0:10:45
Ha!

0:10:45 0:10:46
Greetings, followers.

0:10:50 0:10:51
It's Lord Metamanser and Lady Akhali,

0:10:51 0:10:53
on our way to the epic adventure that is...

0:10:53 0:10:56
the laser maze tournament.

0:10:56 0:10:57
Oh, hey...

0:10:59 0:11:00
this guy must be heading there too.

0:11:00 0:11:02
Are you on your way to the cosplay battle?

0:11:03 0:11:05
No.
