The trouble with @OliWhail is that he just sits there, quietly getting on with his work and occasionally helping out when the QMs are low on spoons. Then before you know it, everybody's dead, the dirigible is on fire, and you've lost your hat. And afterwards, when you try to retrace the sequence of events, it turns out that he was halfway across town buying stationery supplies the whole time.

I would much rather we meet Orochimaru in a (mostly) safe setting to be honest. That'd be bonkers.
We'll see if its that or just Keiko getting her Idina Menzel on.

Hazou: Keiko? (Knocking)
Do you wanna build a flowchart?
Come on lets go and plan
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've been shifted awaaaay-
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna build a flowchart?
It doesn't have to be a flowchart.
Keiko: Go away, Hazou
Hazou: Okay, byeee...
(Knocking) Do you wanna build a flowchart?
Or ride Pangolins around the halls
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to the ANBU on the walls-
(Hang in there, Fox!)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms,
Just watching sealing experiments go by-
(BOOM-BUM, BOOM-BUM, BOOM-BUM, BOOM-BUM, BOOM-BUM)
Hazou: (Knocking) Keiko? Please, I know you're in there,
Akatsuki are asking where you've been
They say "be quick or else", and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?

Oops I think my tone didn't convey quite right. I will absolutely enjoy the quest whichever way the qms take it, and it sounds like something has been building for a long time. I can't wait to see what happens.
Edit: A large reason why I enjoyed the alternate timeline so much is I have a friend with a very similar set of problems to Keiko (minus the ninja stuff and genocidal pangolins ofc). Reading Hazuo's "no u" moment was very cathartic.

Announcement
Given that the tournament timeline is at this point less a line and more a ball of yarn that confounds the QMs themselves, we've made an effort to untangle it before the space-time continuum collapses in on itself. Chapters from 241.1: Sibling Rivalry, Part 1 onwards are now arranged in strict chronological order with timestamps, and the Players' Timeline doc has been updated. Author's notes have been added to the ends of certain chapters to clarify this.
If anyone notices any errors or unclear parts in any of the above, we would be very grateful if you let us know.

We've really been jumping around the timeline, haven't we? Hopefully things straighten out soon now that there aren't so many fights left to cover.

Now you know how I felt when I went to update the player timeline this morning.
It can't be that ba--
*looks at threadmarks*

We still have Chōji vs Shino to show in flashback, then, Yog-Sothoth willing, we'll be back to linear time.
It's not that bad. There are two whole sequential chapters left.

Noburi: Well screw you too
HAZOU: (is about to knock on KEI's door)
LITERALLY EVERY CHARACTER OTHER THAN HAZOU AND KEI: I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Hazou.

Now I want to make a sealtech fighter jet.
We'll probably have to invent the profession of drafter from scratch...

Ah, yes, "Linear Time." We have dismissed that claim.

You couldn't count if you were operating in the liminal space between realities, either.
Nonsense, you just start with zibbulgat, count up to glorp and then continue on from there.

Whereas zibbulgat is unknown to the Internet, glorp turns out to have its own subreddit. I firmly encourage you not to Google it, especially at work, lest the association stick with you forever.
This is not an instance of reverse psychology. I just want sanity checks to be failed here rather than offsite.

For those with creative minds, this post in itself is a cognitive hazard.

Edit: Though the size may enhance the effect, does anyone know how to make it smaller?

Oh I don't actually mind, my mind is forever tainted by the far reaches of that eldritch entity known as the internet, but that does help those that aren't, yes.
