TEASER THREE : OUT ON THE SHORES

Waves crashed against the sturdy poles of the docks, flowing past to meet the sandy shores behind the two women, sitting on the edge of the boardwalk. The sun set in the distance, a beautiful tapestry of purple and pink illuminating the sky. “Mm. . . [JHOHFH], did you see that invite we got . . .?” The shorter woman spoke, her eyes looking down to the water as she awaited a response. 

“Yeah, why? I just left them on the table. I don’t know if I’m gonna go, don’t you think it's a little weird…?”

“Well!~” She flicks her wrist, “I always say a new opportunity to reach out to our brand would be good.”

“...Brand?”

“. . . Ah. I forgot I’m not doing that anymore,” She immediately freezes up, before sighing, “Well!~ Perhaps it's a nice getaway, hm?”

“I mean… I guess… But– you know how I feel about being around other people nowadays…”

“You could just stick with me!” She smiled at the taller person.

She sighed, glancing over at her companion, “If you’re going… I’ll go I suppose.” “Alrighty, it’s settled then!~” The girl slowly stood up, gently patting off her jacket, “Shall we get going dear? Hmmm?”

“...Yea.”

She couldn’t shake the thought that something was off about this situation, but she didn’t want to leave her only remaining friend behind. She stood up, following her companion off the docks.

TEASER TWO : LAID OUT CARDS

The first thing I remember is waking up. I remember seeing all three of them. Singing, smiling, laughing.

Their names are something I can barely remember. Zhang Wei. Qing Yuan. Ling-Jiao. I remember how much they cared about each other. How much I felt left out. Alone. Afraid. How they all cared for each other. How they’d hold random alcohol bottles Zhang stole in his fights and would drink. Drink like we weren’t poor. We weren’t afraid. I miss it. ”Gh. . .” Her head pulsed, another hangover that managed to push and pulse her mind without any sort of recollection otherwise. She hated it. She had dug herself so much of a hole that she couldn’t get out. Her body managed to push forward, slugging itself up from where she slept, aches not seeming to be enough to keep her off her feet. Her eyes narrowed, looking up to the board she had concocted. How her eyes lingered over every person. Everything. Her lip twitched ever so lightly, eyebrow threading as her head hurt. You can’t even figure out a simple case, huh? Can you detective? She evidently sighed, trying to keep her mind off the aching that had kept her turning for so long. That kept the clock working for so long. Gears that kept trying to figure out everything. No wonder they don’t know you. They’ll never know you, Huang. She wished she could push through the words she had heard so many times. The knocks on the doors. The windows closing and opening. Her brother’s reflection in the mirror.

She could at least solve this, right?

. . . No wonder she was a former detective.

. . .

Tap. Tap. Tap. Heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway— not that the detective herself precisely heard them, but she could at least tell they were there. A dull knock came to the doorframe, with the detective’s head turning around, her gaze trying to linger on who it was. . . .

“Y—“ [ BANG. ]

TEASER ONE : TEARS TO ASHES

The silence within the white walls of the hospital room felt suffocating. Even during visiting hours, [NTNPCZ] was left with nothing but the nurses and the occasional beep of the monitor for company. Loneliness was a feeling he was used to… but with the cold atmosphere of the room and the feeling of fear left by accident, he didn’t want to be alone.

But alas, it wasn’t like there was anyone who’d want to talk to him anyways.

He pressed a hand gently against the gauze that covered half of his face.

”I’m sorry, [NTNPCZ]- but I highly doubt you’ll ever be able to use your left eye again. It was burned badly in the accident…” He’d have to get used to his perception of the world being cut in half, it seems.

The curtains rustled from the breeze of the open window. . . . . . …Wait a moment– the windows aren’t open… are they? He glanced at the window, closed tight as it had been for days. …?

A hand wrapped itself around the curtain, tugging it to the side as a shadowy figure stepped out from behind it, strong in it’s presence– and yet, barely visible at all. It stared at him with a pair of wide, hollow eyes void of any emotion or recognition. If the bandages weren’t wrapped around his mouth, he likely would have screamed.

”Do you feel sorry?” …what?

”Do you feel sorry for your sins?” ”Apologize.” . . .

”Apologize.”

♡ : 𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐁𝐎𝐗!

— A TV show people watch from around the world. A gameshow that changes the entire premise each year. In one year, it may be more akin to a love island season, in another, it may be more comparable to a competitive survival show— No matter the theme, the Ultimate Actress Ophelia Mayweather and the often-changing hosts that accompany her always manage to make the show interesting.

♤ : 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒!

— As of recent, the news has been rather unfortunate- especially for someone with the same prestige as you. People who hold titles granted by Hope’s Peak from around the world have been going missing, and in rather disturbing circumstances. At parties, on the street… Sometimes, right from their own homes. The only thing that remains the same about each crime scene is the calling card the kidnappers leave: A playing card. Because of this, the police have named this group ‘The Wild Aces’. Best to keep a lookout, no?

♧ : 𝐁𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐓!

— Despite your best efforts, nobody can ever be too sure of their safety… Whether you were greeted by a knock at your window, or the sudden lock of a door behind you… You found a wild ace in your hand and woke up at an extravagant— yet mysterious— casino, quickly finding the others you saw before on the news, having been reported missing by Hope’s Peak. It seems you’re joining them as well.

♢: 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄, 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐀!

— And there she stands before you and the others, Ophelia Mayweather, Accompanied by a new co-host: Vivian Thomas. The manner in which they reveal the truth about this whole situation is jarring in comparison to the horror it fills you with— If you wish to leave, someone’s going to have to *die.* Will that be you? Or are you willing to get blood on your hands to escape that fate?
