How I think the Hatchetfield Death Match 2 should have gone:

Assuming all the original pairings and situations for round 1:

Round 1:

-Man in a hurry and greenpeace girl defeat Paulkins.

-Bill and Alice defeat Frank and Sherman. They win the easy bake oven, but Alice is now stuck in a child's body

-Womelissa defeat the cops

-Tom and Becky defeat Dangit

-The Monroes and Sweetlys get into the most toxic polyamorous relationship you've ever seen.

-Lex and Ethan easily defeat Steph and Pete

-The Jerries kill Grace and Max (the boy)

Round 2: (consequences of the previous match carry over)

Setup:

Bill and Alice have defeated Frank and Sherman and have their easy bake oven. Alice is a child again, and Frank is very happy about that. Alice herself is, conflicted. While it is refreshing to not have to worry about exams and all the stress of adult life, what is she going to tell Deb? Maybe there's some way to reverse this. Bill agrees to help Alice. The two of them start making their way towards Sheila Young's house. Sherman is dead, but surely his mother must know how to reverse this. Before they get there, they are stopped by a girl growing increasingly desperate for Greenpeace donations, and a man in a hurry trying to explain to them why they should not get anywhere near Sheila Young.

Ted and Hidgens were hard at work on their ultimate working boy when Ruth and Richie arrived. Hidgens ordered Ted to kill them, but Ted hesitates. These are his brother's best friends after all. Hidgens yells at Ted for being useless and does it himself. Ted starts to run. This isn't what he signed up for. Hidgens starts to chase him, but is distracted by the awakening of working boy. Ted escapes and runs into this hot secretary from his office. She invites him over. Lucky break. Meanwhile, woman and Melissa have killed the cops that wanted to steal their pet. Melissa thought that maybe their dog would feel less lonely if he had a brother, and brings home another. Hidgens and the working boy track Ted down. What is he doing with Roman Murray, and could freeing the rich guy persuade him to fund Hidgens' musical?

Tom and Becky tell Tim to go hide in the car, and the car suddenly starts moving by itself. Tim swears he wasn't driving it. Tom and Becky acquire the problematic puppy (she's actually a really sweet dog and only bites assholes). Dog car does not fully understand why he is a car, and maybe feels a little jealous of the new puppy Tim keeps playing with, but Dog Car is happy that Tim is happy. Dog Car would do anything to protect his family. Meanwhile, the Sweetlys and the Monroes find themselves cheating on each other. with each other. And they have a huge fight about it which escalates into the most toxic polyamorous relationship you've ever seen. The rest of the town is very confused. The problematic puppy bites Sam, because he is an asshole, and Linda, Gerald, and Charlotte jump to his defense, while Tom and Becky and Dog Car defend the puppy.

Lex and Ethan easily take on Steph and Pete. Lex does have superpowers that activate when she or someone she loves is in danger, after all. Steph and Pete never stood a chance. Boy Jerry and Girl Jeri kill Grace and Max for engaging in premarital kissing, and then they find another couple engaging in much worse. They get the hatchet.

Results:

-Barry Swift and Harmony Jones defeat Bill and (child) Alice

-Hidgens does not care about Ted and only tries to save Roman. Womelissa kill everyone, but Ted wasn't surviving this even if Hidgens won.

-Tom, Becky, problematic puppy, and Dog Car kill the polycule

-Lex and Ethan easily defeat the Jerries

Round 3:

-Harmony teams up with Womelissa, Barry becomes their dog, but runs away because he's in a hurry

-Lex defeats Dog Car (and allies), but Ethan dies in the fight

Round 4:

-Lex defeats Harmony, Woman, and Melissa.

And secret round 5 doesn't need to happen because Ethan already died.

At this point, I'm not even sure if the name "traveler" from Pulp Musicals is a reference to the character "Travellia" from Margaret Cavendish's book Assaulted and Pursued Chastity, or if I just really want it to be because I am obsessed with the idea of a genderfluid character in a book written in the 1600s.

A main character who cycles through names and pronouns based on current emotions/activities (Miseria, Affectionata, Travellia, ...), and makes everyone fall in love with him, regardless of gender? The found family in the ship captain that accepts her as his son? That's actually the queerest idea I've ever heard, and I'm utterly baffled that it's nearly 4 centuries old.

By the way, if anyone's interested, I wrote a whole fic explaining what happened in the original story, and my take on how it should have ended. Essentially it's set in the future and Margaret is telling this story to Samuel, like the grandpa in Princess Bride. It's mostly done now, but won't be posted to ao3 until August (for Pulp Fortnight).
