Countries of the World - Squid Game | Season 2, Chapter 3

PROFILES FOR EACH CHARACTER

Remaining Players: 63

Before we continue with the story, we will announce the results of the fan vote.

"Hello, players. Welcome to the results of the viewer vote. As you know, this is televised. The viewers at home got to vote on who should stay and who should go. They can choose up to (3) contestants who should be eliminated."

"I will read the votes aloud, one by one."

"This again." 003|ItzIngenious sighed.

"You're going to get 50 votes." 158|Missouri jeered.

"Jerk."

"The first vote is for... 139|Florida." 

"Here!" 139|Florida raised his hand. 

"He's not asking if you're here." 015|FreeStater pointed out.

"Oh... present!"

"The next vote is for... 184|New Jersey."

"I'm going to beat up whoever voted for me." 184|New Jersey punched one of the metal bars on the bunk beds.

"184|New Jersey."

"056|United States."

"184|New Jersey."

"056|United States."

"184|New Jersey."

"Okay, we get it, I'm unpopular." 184|New Jersey rolled his eyes.

"139|Florida."

"Here!" 139|Florida's hand shot up in the air again.

"What idiot." 169|China shook his head in disbelief.

"070|England."

"056|United States."

"184|New Jersey."

"I'm going to crash out if I hear my name again." 184|New Jersey began to turn red in anger.

"139|Florida." 

"Here!"

"169|China."

"Minus 20,000 social credit, am I right?" 018|toowise laughed.

Nobody else laughed.

"Even I didn't find that funny." 139|Florida shrugged.

"184|New Jersey."

"HEY!" 184|New Jersey swung his arm in anger, inadvertently hitting 003|ItzIngenious in the back of the neck.

"Hey!" 003|ItzIngenious protested.

"070|England."

"070|England."

"070|England."

"070|England."

"Wow, people just really can't take that I pushed that idiot in the pond." 070|England shrugged.

"That is 1 vote for 169|China, 3 votes for 139|Florida, 3 votes for 056|United States, 5 votes for 070|England, and 6 votes for 184|New Jersey."

"WHAT?" 184|New Jersey protested.

Fortunately, a bullet pierced him before he could hurt anyone.

"Player: 184|New Jersey, eliminated." 

An unsuspecting 070|England and a boisterous 056|United States were also victims of the guard's pistol.

"Player: 070|England, and Player: 056|United States, eliminated. 60 players remain."

"Oh no. Amerika gone." 104|Kingsfisher rolled his eyes and feigned sadness. "What will we doing without Amerika?"

"Yeah, he is saviour of world, after all." 024|South Africa laughed.

""Mm, this is nom nom absolutely delicious!" he exclaimed, offering some of his food to 155|Astana, cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk. "You’ve got to—crunch—try this! It's like a flavor explosion—crunch crunch—in my mouth! I mean, who knew—smack—applesauce and pickles could be a thing? Gulp Just wait till—chomp—I tell you about the secret sauce! Slurp It’s like a party—munch—for my taste buds!" 090|Pennsylvania struggled not to choke on his food as he spoke.

"No offense, but I'd rather die." 155|Astana held her hand over her face and feigned regurgitation.

"Attention, players. Your first character test will begin momentarily."

"Character test?" 155|Astana repeated, confused. "What's that."

"It is exactly as it sounds. In this round, one player will be randomly selected to choose another competitor to save. This process will continue, with each chosen player selecting someone else."

"Wow. Aku actual no having any friend here... I might being into cook." 058|Indonesia lamented.

"Once the choices for the first sixteen 16 players are complete, we will then randomly select another 16. Those sixteen will be saved, and will each select a player to save. If you are unable to choose, we will select at random. 48 players total will be saved, and 12 will be eliminated. "

"Oh wow... twelve players eliminated just like that." 003|ItzIngenious looked shocked.

"So this mean anyone who doesn't have at least some semblance of an alliance is bound to get eliminated." 018|toowise observed.

"It seems that way." 133|Australia sighed.

"Why not just randomly pick the 16, who each get to choose one, and then each of those sixteen get to choose one?" 018|toowise asked.

"Because that makes too much sense."

"Who es the persona that can pick los player?" 189|Chile asked.

"We will now select the player that will receive the choice of who to save first."

The familiar big monitor dropped before the players, and the three digits began to change.

The first digit landed on (0) and the contestants stirred.

The second digit flipped a few more times and then decided on (0).

The third digit rolled for another three or four seconds and then stopped on (9).

"Player: 009|Maine, you have been chosen. Please join the guards on stage." 

"What an honor." 009|Maine exclaimed sarcastically.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Well, I think that I need to save my fellow U.S. states. We need to stick together. So I choose my fellow northern state, New York." 009|Maine explained.

"Player: 012|New York, you have been chosen to be saved by 009|Maine. Please stand to her left on stage." 

012|New York ambled slowly onto the stage.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"I really hate being up here. But I guess I have to save someone, so I will continue 009|Maine's initiative, and save Player 090."

"Player: 090|Pennsylvania, you have been chosen to be saved by 012|New York. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"Thank crunch you! Oh chomp my god, I munch thought chomp I wasn't slurp going to get chew picked!" 090|Pennsylvania waddled up the stairs with his sixth hoagie of the day, flashing the many grease stains on his ill-fitting green uniform, branded with his number of 090.

"Como el even get past Rojo Light Verde Light..." 100|Spain stared in disbelief.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"I want crunch to follow munch what Maine said. Us chew U.S. states chomp need to stick crunch crunch together. I pick mmf this is so good Player 136, slurp Indiana!"

"Player: 136|Indiana, you have been chosen to be saved by 090|Pennsylvania. Please stand to his left on stage." 

Indiana sprinted from where he was standing up onto the stage.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"In the spirit of solidarity of U.S. states, I choose to save Louisiana."

"Ayy!" 047|Louisiana punched the air.

"Player: 047|Louisiana, you have been chosen to be saved by 136|Indiana. Please stand to his left on stage." 

Once he was on stage, he took a long look at everyone that was still on the shiny concrete floor.

"Hmm... you. I choose you." 047|Louisiana pointed to a random face in the audience.

"Me?" 018|toowise asked.

"Yes, you."

"Player: 018|toowise, you have been chosen to be saved by 047|Louisiana. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"What happened to solidarity?" 009|Maine snapped.

"I can do what I want." 047|Louisiana shot back.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"I choose one of my good buddies, 148|Wyoming."

"Who?" 155|Astana asked.

"Who's that?" 015|FreeStater seemed confused as well.

"Wyoming? What's a Wyoming?" 139|Florida asked. For once, everyone was as confused as he was.

148|Wyoming timidly walked up onto the stage.

"Wait, that's Wyoming?" 067|Capybarra pointed.

"Player: 148|Wyoming, you have been chosen to be saved by 018|toowise. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"I choose... well, I choose this player because he's funny." 148|Wyoming laughed to himself. "I choose Player 139."

"Bruh." 003|ItzIngenious facepalmed. "Why would you choose him?"

"This is going to take years." 120|Nevada groaned.

139|Florida just stood there.

"Florida?" 024|South Africa tapped him on the shoulder kindly. "What being number of yuo shirt?"

"Uh... one... three... six?" 139|Florida observed, though it seemed like more of a question.

"Is a nine, no is a six." 024|South Africa pointed out.

"Oh..." 139|Florida nodded as if he understood.

"So he choosing yuo." 024|South Africa continued.

"Okay... so... what do I do?" 139|Florida asked.

"Player: 139|Florida, you have been chosen to be saved by 148|Wyoming. Please stand to his left on stage." 

(Confessional: 086|ColinShadow)

"I mean this in the nicest manner possible. Florida is an idiot. Like, seriously one of the dumbest people I've ever met. How did he even pass the cognitive test to sign up for this game?"

(End Confessional: 086|ColinShadow)

"Oh..." 139|Florida tepidly walked up onto the stage. "What do I do now?"

He shuffled next to 148|Wyoming and quickly browsed the room.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Ok..." He perused his options. "Hehe. Funny number. I pick 169."

"NO!" 016|Taiwan yelled. "IS OF MANY EVIRR!"

"Shut up. Yuo is not know what you is tark about." 169|China smirked.

"Player: 169|China, you have been chosen to be saved by 139|Florida. Please stand to his left on stage." 

169|China stood proudly on the stage, staring down at his subjects.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Wǒ am choose rear patliot that wirr herpings me to getting lid of stupid Měiguó scum. I am choose Eluosi."

"Player: 183|Russia, you have been chosen to be saved by 169|China. Please stand to his left on stage." 

(Confessional: 006|Lingonax)

"I hate this so much. The biggest bully being one of the first to get saved. Florida is such an idiot."

(End Confessional: 006|Lingonax)

"Am choose the only Amerikan that I can standing...comings here, Missuri." 183|Russia laughed.

"Is this hell?" 003|ItzIngenious asked. "Literally everyone I wouldn't want saved is getting saved. All thanks to that idiot Florida."

"Is it my turn?" 139|Florida asked.

"No, you already had your turn." 148|Wyoming replied.

"Oh."

"Player: 158|Missouri, you have been chosen to be saved by 183|Russia. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Well, I'm going to choose someone that is just as rebellious as I. Come up here, Nevada."

"UGH." 003|ItzIngenious stamped his foot angrily.

"Haha." 120|Nevada ran up onto the stage excitedly, fist-bumping 158|Missouri.

"This is the opposite of what we wanted." 155|Astana groaned.

"Player: 120|Nevada, you have been chosen to be saved by 158|Missouri. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"Hmm..."

"You must now choose one player to save."

"I don't really actually like any of you. So I guess I'll pick someone at random. Frontman, can you please shuffle the numbers?" 120|Nevada asked.

"Very well." 

The monitor began to flip through the numbers, and landed on: 034.

"Player: 034|South Korea, you have been chosen to be saved by 120|Nevada. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"This being ga choice many easy. Am choose now." 034|South Korea smiled.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Am save 086."

"Knew it." 086|ColinShadow jumped for joy.

"Player: 086|ColinShadow, you have been chosen to be saved by 034|South Korea. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"Yessss." 086|ColinShadow gave a one-armed hug to 034|South Korea.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Hmm... I suppose that I'll save 155|Astana."

"Player: 155|Astana, you have been chosen to be saved by 086|ColinShadow. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"Wonderful, thank you." 155|Astana shook 086|ColinShadow's hand as she took stance next to him.

"You must now choose one player to save."

"Well... I suppose I'll choose 171|McKenzieFam."

"Player: 171|McKenzieFam, you have been chosen to be saved by 155|Astana. Please stand to his left on stage." 

"Splendid." 171|McKenzieFam was careful to maintain his dignity and not to jump up and down. He calmly walked up the stairs and stood to the left of 155|Astana.

"16 players have now been saved in total. We will now randomly select the next sixteen. If your number is called, please join the 16 players on the stage, and stand in front of them."

"The first player is... Player 005."

"Player 006."

"Player 189."

"Player 024."

"Player 050."

"Player 046."

"Player 167."

"Player 124."

"Player 142."

"Player 177."

"Player 092."

"Player 193."

"Player 085."

"Player 104."

"Player 049."

"Player 156."

"The sixteen of you will each choose a player to join you in the top 48. Those not selected will be eliminated."

^{*To condense text, I will just show their choices below.}

Survived The Overly Complicated Elimination Test: 48

Eliminated: 12

^{*RIP Capybarra, the first JetPunk user to be eliminated.}

(Confessional: 169|China)

"Zhōngguó wirr winnings the whole game and will kirr arr the Amelican. When am win the monies, am buird more concentlation camp for Uyghur- I MEAN am going to buird more spy barroon to spyings on Měiguó."

(End Confessional: 169|China)

"Attention, players, we will begin the next challenge: Water Tank."

"We don't even get a break?" 133|Australia whined.

"Five players are placed in a glass tank, where the remaining participants decide whether or not to fill the tank within a certain time limit. If the tank is not filled before the timer is up, all participants live."

"Surely we would keep them alive, right?" 193|Fianchetto asked hopefully.

"You think too highly of us." 158|Missouri laughed.

"We will randomly select the five players that will be placed in the tank."

"I wish we got to choose." 003|ItzIngenious glared at 158|Missouri, and then at 120|Nevada.

"The first player to be placed inside the tank is... 189|Chile."

"Oh Dios mío..." 189|Chile sighed.

"I'm sorry." 133|Australia offered, patting 189|Chile on the back.

"The second player to be placed inside the tank is... 148|Wyoming."

"Who?" 015|FreeStater asked.

"Him." 018|toowise pointed.

"Oh..."

"The third player to be placed inside the tank is... 076|Turkmenistan."

"Eh, he's a background character anyway." 018|toowise shrugged.

"Yeah, nobody really cares." 086|ColinShadow agreed.

"The fourth player to be placed inside the tank is... 024|South Africa."

"Wow, picking off all the good ones." 003|ItzIngenious shook his head. "I wish they'd pick Missouri or Nevada."

"I heard that." 158|Missouri feigned shooting 003|ItzIngenious.

"The fifth and final player to be placed inside the tank is... 062|Belarus."

"NOOOOOO!" 183|Russia and 104|Kingsfisher yelled at the same time. "MOI DEVUSHKA!"

"Attention, players. The platform in front of you will light up blue around the edge."

Sure enough, a black carpet, lined in neon blue, appeared before them.

"Step on the platform to fill up the tank with water. If the tank is filled up at or before the 30 second time limit, the five players inside will drown."

The tank dropped down from the ceiling, and the guards apprehended the five players, forcefully bringing them onto the stage and slamming them into the tank.

"OW!" 148|Wyoming exclaimed as he landed on his stomach at the bottom of the tank.

A metal grate dropped down on top of the five players' heads, to ensure that they could not swim up to avoid drowning.

The 30-second timer began.

30.

29.

28.

27.

26.

25.

"So what do we do?" 133|Australia asked.

"I think we should drown 'em." 015|FreeStater shrugged.

"Wow. How heartless of you." 129|Deathslayer shook his head disapprovingly.

"What? This ain't the Friend Games." 015|FreeStater half-chuckled. "If they're out of the way, we go from top 48 to top 43. Ain't that got a much better ring to it?"

"Você am havings um pointe..." 123|Brazil seemed to consider what 015|FreeStater had said.

"I still think we should let them live." 155|Astana shook her head.

17.

16. 

15.

14.

13.

12.

"Wouldn't you want the other players to grant you mercy if it was you in that tank?" 006|Lingonax asked.

"Yeah, but it's not us in the tank, is it?" 047|Louisiana chimed in.

"That's... fair." 006|Lingonax fiddled with his thumbs.

"I'm doing it." 015|FreeStater stepped on the carpet, and water slowly began to cascade into the tank.

"LET US OUT!" 148|Wyoming pounded on the glass, but to no avail.

"What loser." 104|Kingsfisher laughed as he also stepped onto the carpet, and the water flow increased by a small amount.

158|Missouri, 120|Nevada, and 047|Louisiana joined them on the carpet, and the water began flooding in at a greater magnitude.

"NO!" 189|Chile pleaded, though her voice was barely audible.

More players began to join them on the carpet. 142|Mongolia. 085|Moldova. 086|ColinShadow. 034|South Korea. 012|New York. 193|Fianchetto.

At this point, the water was almost at their foreheads, and the players in the tank pressed their faces upwards against the grate for one last breath of air.

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

The water was above the grate, and the players in the tank were inhaling water, their lungs flooded.

"We will leave the tank there, so you can watch them drown." 

"Wow, how sadistic." 003|ItzIngenious could not stop staring at the five bodies sinking to the bottom of the tank.

183|Russia and 104|Kingsfisher were sobbing inconsolably.

"Player: 189|Chile, eliminated." 

"Player: 148|Wyoming, eliminated." 

"Player: 076|Turkmenistan, eliminated." 

"Player: 024|South Africa, eliminated." 

"Player: 062|Belarus, eliminated. 43 players remain."

"NYET!!!" 183|Russia pounded on the ground dramatically as tears poured down his cheeks.

"Why do I almost feel bad..." 003|ItzIngenious stared with guilt at 183|Russia.

"The next test will begin momentarily."

"They cannot be serious. We literally haven't had a break all day." 086|ColinShadow complained.

"The next challenge is called, Murderer." 

"Wow, sounds fun!" 003|ItzIngenious exclaimed, oozing sarcasm in every syllable.

"One person will be given an assault rifle and must kill as many players as possible in a set amount of time."

"Please let it be Florida. He won't know what to do and he won't kill anyone, except maybe himself." 015|FreeStater prayed.

"Wow, this is a very sadistic challenge." 133|Australia pointed out.

"We will now select the player. Please allow 10 seconds before that player is revealed."

"Who am yuo thinkings it will being?" 046|Yemen asked.

"Am think es maybe Rusia o China." 100|Spain shrugged.

"Am hope it beings me. Am want to kill many player." 058|Indonesia laughed.

"No get ahead of self. Will beings me." 154|Qatar interjected.

"The player selected as murderer is..."

"This is so stressful." 015|FreeStater sighed.

"Player: 015|FreeStater."

"YEAHHHH!" 015|FreeStater jumped for joy.

"Oh no." 003|ItzIngenious sighed loudly.

"We're cooked." 155|Astana whispered to 129|Deathslayer.

"All the game rooms for the Season 1 challenges as well as the Mingle challenge room and Trust Course maze will be opened as hiding spots. Player: 015|FreeStater will have 10 minutes to eliminate as many players as possible."

"This will be fun." 015|FreeStater laughed.

"You will have a brief moment to prepare." 

015|FreeStater sat down where he stood. The other 42 players ran out of the dorms, screaming. 090|Pennsylvania was last to leave the dorm, struggling to find his backpack full of snacks.

"What are chew chew we going mmf to crunch do?" 090|Pennsylvania asked, chewing very loudly, and running as fast as his pudgy legs would take him.

"I don't know, but you need to run faster." 155|Astana pointed out.

"Wait- omg this is so good we should yum hide in chomp here!" 090|Pennsylvania held up his sandwich in the direction of the Honeycomb sandbox.

"Perfect!" 155|Astana pulled 090|Pennsylvania's chubby hand into the sandbox room. They both darted for the playground area.

"Where should we- THERE!" 155|Astana pointed to the slide. She pulled 090|Pennsylvania with her.

"Chew quieter!" She demanded as the both of them crouched beneath the slide, watching the door carefully.

120|Nevada and 158|Missouri were not exceedingly worried about the challenge.

"Where should we go?" 120|Nevada asked.

"I think we should hide in the marbles room. Plenty of hiding places there. Everyone else is probably in one of the Mingle rooms." 158|Missouri replied.

"That's such a good idea, that everyone else is probably doing it, and it will be easy to find them." 120|Nevada agreed.

They ran into the Marbles room, hiding behind one of the interior brick walls.

"PICK A ROOM, DAMMIT!" 086|ColinShadow yelled as he pushed past the big group of people in the Mingle room.

"Na am think we should am going in this room." 034|South Korea pointed to a blue door.

"Fine." 086|ColinShadow and 034|South Korea rushed into the room.

"F--- OFF!" 086|ColinShadow yelled as someone tried to get into the room.

The Mingle room was full of players trying to find an unlocked room to go in. That is, until they heard the dreaded buzzer, followed by a few preemptive gunshots.

"Player: 015|FreeStater has now been armed, he is coming."

The lights in all the rooms dimmed to a suspenseful red hue.

"Where are you?" 015|FreeStater jeered as he flipped the gun around in his hand.

058|Indonesia and 009|Maine were huddled together in a cyan room. Unfortunately, they forgot to block the door.

"SURPRISE!" 015|FreeStater asked, before unloading the bullets onto the both of them, drowning their screams.

Loud screams ensued from the other rooms.

"I'M COMING FOR YOU!" 015|FreeStater laughed maniacally as he perused the other rooms, leaving blood splatters all over the walls.

"Player: 058|Indonesia, eliminated." 

"Player: 009|Maine, eliminated. 41 players remain." 

015|FreeStater stopped at the red door immediately to the right.

"Am so scaled." 169|China sobbed.

"Am think yuo is overreact. We will beings fine." 131|North Macedonia attempted to reassure 169|China and 012|New York. That is, until 015|FreeStater kicked in the door.

"SURPRISE, B----ES!" 015|FreeStater cackled as he sprayed bullets at the three of them, leaving a pool of blood under their bodies.

"Player: 169|China, eliminated."

"Player: 131|North Macedonia, eliminated."

"Player: 012|New York, eliminated. 38 players remain."

His adrenaline rush only growing more intense, 015|FreeStater kept going door to door, until he stopped at an orange door. He heard frantic whispers inside.

"I GUESS THERE'S NOBODY IN HERE." 015|FreeStater almost yelled, cackling to himself to see if the inhabitants would believe it.

"The coast is clear." 006|Lingonax wiped his forehead.

"That was a close one." 092|Samoa laughed.

"Io am so-a happy that we no-a die-a." 004|Vatican City panted.

"Me too, man." 047|Louisiana sighed in relief.

The door slowly creaked open, but none of the four noticed.

015|FreeStater peeked his head in, seeing the three of them talk among themselves, without knowing he was there.

He pointed the gun at 006|Lingonax's head, waiting a second to fire.

"Wait, what's-" 006|Lingonax began, before the shot rang out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" 092|Samoa yelled and tried to hide behind the others, but they were lacerated with countless bullets before they could even react fully.

"Player: 006|Lingonax, eliminated."

"Player: 092|Samoa, eliminated."

"Player: 004|Vatican City, eliminated."

"Player: 047|Louisiana, eliminated. 34 players remain."

"Haha." 015|FreeStater reloaded his gun.

"Attention, players. Time is up." 

A guard came by, snatching the gun from 015|FreeStater, who watched the exodus of players that exited the leftover Mingle rooms. They all looked at him in terror. He smiled back in satisfaction.

The 34 remaining players were gathered back in the dorms.

"The next challenge will begin momentarily."

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. NINE PLAYERS JUST GOT SHOT!" 155|Astana yelled angrily.

"We do not care. The next challenge is: Massacre." 

"These challenge names are crazy." 003|ItzIngenious rubbed the back of his neck.

"We will randomly select five letters. The players whose names begin with those letters... will... be... executed."

"Wow, so this is solely a game of chance." 171|McKenzieFam observed.

"Here are the letters." 

"I'm so scared." 133|Australia sobbed.

"Y."

"M."

"B."

"P." 

"C."
