so, i heard murder was happening and also the old man is butthurt about you showing off his corpse so *soulfully stabs you* -anne
[A lone warrior comes to avenge her fallen comrade, the reign of terror of the game master has ended, but with that all the 8 players of the game have been locked inside the mansion forever, no longer getting their food supply or having anyone to unlock the doors for them. They will succumb and die soon enough.]
“The players wanted it so here we go! Old man Caesar’s corpse. Have fun investigating. Oh and, hello, nice to meet you face-to-face! Try not to get too close, he’s already rotting on the inside, hence the mask. It keeps the foul stench at bay... mostly.”
[The boy strikes a pose while he talks before shaking his head a little]
>INVESTIGATE THE BODY
>TALK TO THE BOY
>GRAB THE BOY
((ok this is literally 5+ pages on microsoft word, there’s no way in hell that i’m not putting this under a read more))
>Enter the room
[Waldo walks in, carrying Suzie on his back. Smolsar is resting on Waldo's head]
Alright, in they go!
>Examine the room
[After passing through the yellow door, you and your team find yourself in a badly lit room, in a state of disrepair. You don’t know how it got like this, and frankly you’re not too keen on finding out either. It’s a huge mess, it might be hard to miss little details. There seem to be plenty of books racked on the shelves, all on different subjects. The ones on the tables seem to be recently used. Medical books, psychology books, books about cage experiments and one on aeroplanes. It seems the young Joseph has been reading them in preparation–]
>Team, converse
Suz: Alllright so... this is really messy... remind me to come back and clean this up later... that is if I'm still alive later....
Waldo: Hey, we're gonna make it out alive ok? We gotta wi-
>Vamp, run in to room
Vamp quickly runs into the room searching for... something but is quickly dragged back out by some force.
>Team, converse, again
Suz: Ok what was that about
Waldo: No clu-OW [quickly lets go of Suzie's right leg and shakes his hand furiously]
Suz: What? What happened?
Waldo: I think Vamp or Deo just got stabbed in the hand...
Suz: You ok?
Waldo: Yea I'll be fine. [sets Suzie down fully and removes Smolsar from the top of his head. He hands the smol Zeppeli to Suzie]
Suz: [takes the smol zepep and places him in her pocket] Hold on tight, ok?
Smolsar: Ok!
>Suz, check you phone
I mean, it won't help much, you can't call or text, and all you can do on vine is share videos of the other teams messing up sooo-OOOOHH SHIT
Suz: UF CK MY PHOENIS DYING
Waldo: Did you bring a charger?
Suz: YE AH BUT IDK IF THERRS SOME WHEERE TO CHARGE IT
>Suz, frantically search the room for an outlet!
YOU RUN AND CHECK ALL OVER THE ROOM AND- AHAHA! YOU FOUND ONE!
>PLUG IN YOUR PHONE!
You hurridly pull your charger out of your other pocket and slam it into the wall and shove the end bit into your phone. The phone buzzes in your hand, signifying that it is charging. SUCCESS!
>OK GET BACK TO TALKING, FIND THOSE PUZZLES!
Waldo: Now that you've solved that situation, let's try to find the puzzles, I want to get out of here.
Suz: Ok, let's look at the books first, something seems off about them
>Inspect the books!
Suz: MMMmmmkay so what I'm getting from this is find the number of books from the two different perspectives... Its 16
Waldo: W-what?
Suz: The answer is 16
Waldo: How?
Suz: Ok look, you count the books from Jeje's perspective and there are ten. You count the books from Bunbun's perspective and you get 11. You add them together and you get 21, but that's not the right answer because [she points to two of the stacks of books, one in Jeje's perspective, and one in Bunbun's perspective] these stacks are the same stack. So you subtract 5 from 21 and you get 16.
Waldo: Wow ok.
>Enter in 16
DING DING DING! CORRECT! The first password is "HE"
>Converse about this new finding
Suz: Told you.
Waldo: I didn't doubt you.
Smolsar: Good job Suzie!
>Look for the next puzzle
You take Smolsar out of your pocket and let him roam around to see if the next puzzle is something small or in a place you and Waldo can't see. While looking for the next puzzle you see a dusty toy aeroplane sitting on the ground. You carefully pick it up and examine it. On the underside of the wings you see some writing.
>Read what it says
“To Jeje: I hope you get well soon! Love, your friend” awww that's sweet! You set the aeroplane back down where you found it and continue on your search for the next puzzle. You also try to think on who the friend was that sent Jeje the toy.
>Continue looking for the next puzzle
You were about to but you hear Waldo call out "Found it!" You pick up Smolsar and head over to the big buff cheese puff stand.
Suz: So what'dya find?
Waldo: [standing next to the table, which is now right side up] It was carved into the table top.
Suz: Weird... ok then.
Smolsar: Lemme read it! [squirming to get out of Suzie's grasp and to get onto the table]
Suz: Alright, alright, calm down. [sets Smolsar onto the table]
Smolsar: "My teeth are sharp, my back is straight, to cut things up it is my fate. What am i?"
Suz: Ok that's... really ominous in my opinion...
Waldo: I think it's a saw, cuz like, if you think about it, a saw has serrated teeth, and the back end of it is straight?
Suz: Yeah that makes sense.
>Enter in Saw
DING DING DING! CORRECT! The second password is "IS"
>Converse about the new password
Suz: Alllright we now have "HE" and "IS" for the passwords... kinda sounds like part of a sentence doesn't it?
Smolsar: Yeah!
Suz: I have a feeling that the last word is going to be "LYING"....
Smolsar: Why?
Suz: I don't know...
>Find the last puzzle
You find the next puzzle almost instantly. You tripped over it.
Suz: aH FUCK!! FUCKGINSHIT WHAT THE FUCKING HELL.
Waldo: Suz! You alright?
Smolsar: [from on top of Waldo's head] Yeah, Suzie you okay?
Suz: I'M FINE, JUST TRIPPED OVER SOME STUPID ASS BRI-wait why are there bricks in a study.
Waldo: Next puzzle?
Suz: Next puzzle.
>Inspect the bricks
You all inspect the bricks and quickly find the next puzzle. Smolsar quickly figures it out.
Smolsar: I think the answer is B! Because if you look here-
And after quite a long explanation the button is pressed and the final password is revealed
Suz: I told you it was going to be "LYING".
Waldo: Yeah yeah, let's go vote.
Smolsar: Wait! Who gets the knife?
Suz + Waldo: What knife?
Smolsar: The one that was on the ground next to the table!
Waldo: Oh that one. Suzie can have it.
Suz: What? Why?
Waldo: I don't exactly need it with my strength, and Caesar is too small to carry it soo....
Suz: Oh true... ok I'll take it. [picks up the knife and slips it into her pocket] Lemme grab my phone and we can head into voting.
>Retrieve phone
You pick up your phone, checking the percentage. Wow it sure did charge a lot while you were solving puzzles. You slip it and it's charger into the pocket without a knife and then head back over to Waldo and Smolsar.
Suz: Hey... what should we vote? Ally maybe?
Waldo: Yeah... you should vote for me and you Suzie since our votes count as one.
Suz: Alright.
Smolsar: I'm gonna vote ally too!
Suz: Alright! We all get two points!
>Proceed into voting
You go into voting and choose ally. A few seconds later your BP goes up by 2. Looks like Smolsar is finished voting as well. You head out and reunite with you team.
Suz: Should we head out of here?
Waldo: Yeah, let’s go and see if we can talk to the others.
Smolsar: Yeah let's go!
The three of you head out of the Study, and almost instantly find Vamp and KQ. It looks like Vamp is holding something.
Vamp: Oh god....
KQ: I will hurt whoever did this...
Suz: Hey, what's going on?
Vamp: !!! u H HEY SUZIE.... [quickly shoves whatever he is holding behind his back]
KQ: Heeyyyy Suuuuzz.
Suz: ...? What are you hiding? And where's Sheez?
Vamp: No-nothing! He-he's doing just fine!
Suz: Vamp... don't make me come over there and kick your ass.
Vamp: I-... ok... [slowly pulls hands out from behind his back, showing Suzie what he was holding. It was a wrist watch covered in blood, the color green shone dully along with the word "PAIR"]
Suz: O h god... oH GOD.... Vamp please, please tell me that isn't Sheez's-
KQ: It is, it was tossed into our room. Someone hurt Sheez… really bad.
You feel the tears well up in your eyes. Your chest begins to ache you start to cry. You tune out everything that's going around you as you make your way over to a wall and sit down. You want to scream but you suppress the urge. If you ever got out of here you wouldn't know what to tell Oldseph.
As you wallow in misery you suddenly hear shouting. You decide to tune in.
KQ: SHE COULD'VE DONE IT! SHE HAS A KNIFE!
Vamp: YEAH! FOR ALL WE KNOW SHE COULDVE SLIPPED OUT WHILE YOU WEREN'T LOOKING AND KILLED HIM!
Waldo: YOU GUYS ARE BEING REDICULOUS! SUZIE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT! AND EVEN IF SHE WOULD, SHE WAS WITH ME AND SMALL CAESAR THE ENTIRE TIME!
You choke out a sob as you hear the argument. Did KQ and Vamp really think you killed Sheez? Why? You would never hurt Sheez. Hell, you were planning on making it that if only one of you got out alive, you would've tried to let Sheez live.
You would try to defend yourself but you can't stop crying. You pull your knees in to your chest and rest your arms atop them. You stare down at your lap.
You hear other people arrive and join in on the argument. Soon after you hear one walk over to you and begin talking.
???: Hey, you ok?
Suz: ...
Your silence gives the answer you want to say.
???: Listen, I'm sorry about your loss, and about how everyone is blaming you. I want to help catch the fucker who did it. I'm still trying to figure stuff out, and I don't think you did it. I'm going to be the hero for this, ok?
Suz: ... yeah...
???: Ok, good. Honestly right now I'm suspecting KQ since from what I can tell they were quick to blame you. Plus I do recall KQ being on the same team as Caesar. Watch out for any slips from them, alright? And if you trust anyone, let them know.
Suz: ...[she nods her head slightly, giving a small grunt of agreement]
???: I'd like to keep myself anonymous ok? Otherwise I might be next on the hit list. Put it this way, if the mole kills their own, like... distraction, then that's just going to make people suspect the real mole to be the real mole, you get what I'm saying? The mole needs you alive at this point to take the blame whilst they continue to be sneaky.
Suz: Yea...
???: Alright, I'm gonna head back over there before they start suspecting anything. I'll talk to you later.
They head back over to join in on the argument again. Some one else heads over, and as soon as they're close enough they envelope you in a hug.
Oingo: Hey, shh, don't cry.
Suz: ... [she removes her arms from her legs and hugs him back] I-I'm so scared.
Oingo: Shshsh hey, I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you ok? If they try they're gonna get these hands! [he flexes, showing off his muscles]
Suz: [she giggles, watching her dad show off] thank you... for everything really.
Oingo: Hey, it's no problem! I'm here for you alright?
Suz: Alright!
Oingo: Good! Do you want to head over to everyone else, or do you wanna stay here for right now?
Suz: Stay here, I really don't have the energy to join that right now.
Oingo: Alright, I'll stay with you.
The two of you sit, chatting idly and joking around. After a while you notice the colors on your watches change color.
>Examine the watch
You look at the watch and see it is now yellow. You are still a pair, and you still have 5 BP
Suz: What color did you get?
Oingo: Yellow.
Suz: We're on the same team!
Oingo: Awesome!
The two of you high five and watch the others sort out their teams again.
