Chapter 2 - Episode 2: “Chaos in the Jungle”

Scene: Day 1 — Inside the jungle, a campsite has been set up. A bonfire crackles as the group settles around it.

Ankit (staring at the barbeque chicken):

"Brothers, this chicken has 10 bucks worth of spices and 100 bucks of love. But whoever wants it on a plate has to pay an extra 50!"

Harsh:

"Shut up! You'd probably sell free tissues on the black market!"

(Ankit and Harsh begin their usual roasting session.)

Harsh (dramatically performing for the group):

"I think I'm the king of this jungle... all ghosts respect me!"

(Right then, a monkey swoops in from behind and snatches Harsh's plate.)

Ankit:

"See? Even the jungle doesn't take you seriously."

(Everyone bursts into laughter. Kamal stays calm as always, while Ajit stands off to one side, staring deep into the jungle, sensing something strange.)

---

Scene: Nighttime — Everyone is in their tents. Harsh is passed out drunk outside his own tent.

(Tina walks quietly toward Nexus's tent, speaking softly.)

Tina:

"Nexuuu... everyone's asleep. Harsh is basically married to a bottle now…"

Nexus (a bit hesitant):

"Tina, this isn't right…"

Tina (getting closer, eyes teasing):

"Then maybe being wrong is more fun... who follows rules in the jungle anyway?"

(The tent curtain gently closes. In the background, soft jungle sounds and an owl's screech echo into the night.)

---

Scene: Day 2 — Morning. Everyone's waking up groggily. Harsh is lying face-first on a lizard.

Harsh (screaming):

"Ghost! A ghost kissed me!"

Ankit:

"That wasn't a ghost, that was a lizard. And it died from the shock of seeing you."

(420 is serving everyone tea with her usual sweet smile. Tina looks a little too refreshed.)

Ankit (suspicious, narrowing his eyes):

"Hmm... everyone was in their tents last night... but some tents had extra heat..."

Tina (winking):

"It gets cold in the jungle... someone has to keep things warm."

(Nexus feels awkward inside but says nothing.)

Next Episode Hook:

Ajit (serious tone):

"Fun time's over. Tomorrow, we go to the core area of this jungle. There's something... different there."

Kamal (nodding seriously):

"The same house... the one the local guide warned us about…"
