SCENE: A vaguely defined white room in the middle of which sits a white circle with a navy blue line drawn In the middle. WILBUR SOOT walks in from one side, JOE HILLS from the other.

WILBUR SOOT: Hello there, Joe.
JOE HILLS: Howdy, Wilbur!
WILBUR SOOT: While I may not know exactly where this is, I do know what we're here for, though I must admit the premuse still perplexes me greatly.
JOE HILLS: Well, I think that's sorta the point. No fun if you understand it entirely.
[WILBUR SOOT summon s a chair from thin air and sits down in it casually.]
WILBUR: Since you appear to have a better grasp on the situation than I, would you be so kind as to explain in greater detail what we're dealing with here?
[JOE HILLS at sits on the ground.]
JOE: I'd be happy to.
WILBUR: Go on, then.
JOE: Well, you see, this isn't a normal sexyman contest. With normal ones, you vote based on how attractive the person is based on societal standards. This, meanwhile, is a Tumblr sexyman poll, which means the general goal here is to be the exact opposite. The criteria are vague, but generally people are rooting for the people that are weird, strange, cryptic, and generally off-putting.
WILBUR SOOT (leaning forwards in chair): Strange, hm? I can be strange. I can be odd. I obviously wouldn't be here if Iwasn't. Tell me, Joe, do any of us truly understand these odd game we've both been hurled into? The votes are piling up now. The people want to know.
JOE HILLS (checking phone): Indeed they do.
WILBUR SOOT: The flames are piling higher, do you smell them? Do you recognize that scent? It's the scent of bridges burning, Joe, all we've took to get here. This is a very odd competition, but nevertheless one I intend to win.
[WILBUR SOOT stands up and draws a rapier.]
WILBUR SOOT: So, let's have at It then. May the best man win.
JOE HILLS (looking up from phone): What? Oh, no, I don't fight with swords. [He puts her phone in his pocket and stands up as well.]
WILBUR SOOT: So you brought only your fists to a swordfight? Strange. I would have expected a man with who had gotten this far to at least come brandishing some sort of weapon.
JOE HILLS: Oh no, not like that. Actually, I hope you brought some snacks. We might be here a while.
WILBUR SOOT: What?
JOE HILLS: You said It yourself, Wilbur. The people decide. And I didn't come here to win a fight, just have fun.
WILBUR SOOT: Then what is all this for? Did I travel all this way, taste the gravel of Hell itself for nothing?
JOE HILLS (sitting back down): Nope. In fact, you can just get some sleep for the next 24 hours. You look like you need It.
WILBUR SOOT (disgusted/insulted): What, you want me to sit on my arse for the next 24 hours and do nothing?
JOE HILLS: Don't worry, I planned for this exact situation. (takes out an Uno deck from their myriad pockets) Uno match, best of23?
WILBUR SOOT (visibly scared): You're insane, aren't you.
JOE HILLS: Well, I like to think of myself rather as just weird. It's fine if you don't want to play. I'll be on Tumblr campaigning for myself to win.
WILBUR SOOT: what?
JOE HILLS: Do you not have Tumblr?
WILBUR SOOT: Twitter either. That's unfair.
JOE HILLS: Well, you brought a sword, so I'd say we're even.
