Post by Madge Baker on May 12, 2016 22:00:02 GMT
So the first game was about to begin. Madge was almost squealing with excitement as she saw the first contestants start to wake up. A little healthy danger was just what her little birds needed to get closer to each other. This would work out perfectly, no matter who died, and she really didn't know who would, that was part of the excitement. In the middle of the basement was a large table, with ten face-down cards, a note explaining the rules, and colored pieces of string for the contestants to tie around their right wrists. Around everyone's left wrist was an electrical bracelet, ready to kill anyone by the push of a button. Madge wondered if she would have to, or if everyone would play nice.
[OOC: Re-cap on the rules, guys: Pick a card face-down. The card your character gets have already been revealed to you in a PM. The electrical bracelets will kill you if you show anyone your card. Find a partner and pair up with matching string bracelets. If you are paired up with the X, you will die unless you have the star card. If not everyone pairs up by the end of 36 hours, I will randomly pair up the last people. The string colors are yellow, red, green, blue and white. All this is explained in the note on the table. Someone should probably read that out loud to everyone. Good luck!!]
PAIRS: Yellow team: Garrett & Kida Blue team: Kayley & Dean Red team: Ruber & Isabelle Green team: Celia & Dimitri White team: Ariel & Holly

Ruber woke, groggy and with another headache. At first he believed it was because John had kept him up all night, again, and he was now feeling the sleep deprivation. When he woke enough to register the hard, cold floor he was lying on however, he quickly realized something else entirely was going on. He was having quite enough of this bullshit, but when he thought it might be a room switch, he enthusiastically sat up and looked around the room, massaging his temple. To his deep dismay, it wasn't a room switch. Well, it technically was, this was a different room after all, but it was filled with other people, most he had never seen before in his life. There was only one he recognized quite clearly. One face he would never forget. It haunted him from his trial still. Isabelle. "Oh, fuck..".

Ariel groaned as she slowly got off of the floor. Her head was aching! She put her hand on her forehead as she slowly got onto her feet. Once she was balanced enough she slowly opened her eyes, her vision slowly becoming clear. Once it was clear she looked around to notice she was in another room. Where was she? It was not her room and there was no furniture like her room. Though before she could think more she quickly remembered Holly, causing her to gasp. "Holly!" Ariel gasped before she looked down the the floor to see if she was there. When she did she saw there were more people, it wasn't just her and Holly there. Ariel felt her heart stop as she watched everyone stirring. She stood there in shock before she shook it off and went to Holly's side. "Holly, Holly, wake up."She said before she shook her a little. When she saw Holly stir that was when she got up and backed away from her. She then looked around the room again while she waited for her roommate to get up. When she looked again she noticed a table. Ariel instantly went to it and examined what was on it. There was a note and strings on the table. She picked up the note and started to read out loud:
"Pick a card face-down.
The electrical bracelets will kill you if you show anyone your card. Find a partner and pair up with matching string bracelets.
If you are paired up with the X, you will die unless you have the star card.
P.S. There is only one X and one star card." Ariel's heart stopped before she finally noticed the bracelet on her left wrist. She stood there in silence before she grabbed a card. She quickly looked at it before putting it in the pocket of her dress. She didn't want anyone to see it, she'd rather not die. She then grabbed the white string and walked to Holly. She immediately tied the string on both of their wrists. Ariel didn't care if she didn't have her card yet. Holly was the only one she trusted here. "Oh fuck..". That voice sounded familiar. Ariel turned her head where she thought she heard the voice, and noticed a ginger haired man. The man fit the description John had told her. He wasn't that bad looking. "Ruber??" She asked.

Garrett stirred awake, feeling so dissorientaded and dizzy that he couldn't even tell if he was still sleeping or not. Shaking his head quickly, the pushed himself up into a sitting positon, carefully reaching out his hand for the wall. The moment his hand found it, Garrett gave himself a few seconds to try and remember what had happend. Again. He mus've fallen asleep then, while still sitting on the floor having another conversation with that Cale guy from the other side of the wall. However... Frowning deeply, he carefully ran his hand over the wall, feeling what the difference was already. This wasn't the same room he's been trapped in for a good while.. He's been moved. yet again, without his knowledge. He felt the panic start to rise within him as that realisation settled in. Placing both his hands on the wall, he pushe dhimself up on his feet, tryong to keep his hased out and confused mind in place before freaking out for real. Behind him he could hear there where other people, and from the sounds to go by, they where waking up too. Was it Dimitri and those other guys next door too, or... other people? Just how many people had been dragged into this exactly? Taking a couple of deep breathes to keep himself calm, Garrett straightend up to his full height, concerntrating on everything he could hear around him. There where voces he defenetily didn't recognise, so that answered his question about there being more people in this fucked up mess... Feeling someething around his wrist, Garrett slowly moved his other hand to 'insepct' it as good as he could, before hearing a young, female voice read out something from what he assumed was a note or something. As she finished reading it, Garrett for once ha dno idea what to think really. And people thought I have a cruel sense of humor, he thought dryly to himself. Whoever who ahd kidnapped them, did know he was blind right? Huh. How fitting. Place a blind guy ina deadly game with cards in a room with a bunc of people he didn't know, and therefor couldn't trust. How delightfull. With this in mind, as well as cursing out the whole world and every living being in it, Garrett made his way over to the table, using the wall as help to guide him. As he reached his destination, he could do nothing but just reach his hand out and pick out the first card he found.

Ruber didn't even think about it when someone called out Holly's name. Holly was a common name, and it didn't register to him that it might be the same Holly. Nor did it register to him that it was Ariel speaking. Sure they had spoken quite a few times over the last... had it been weeks? He wasn't sure. In any case, they had only spoken through a wall, dulling sounds, and he wasn't very good at recognizing voices either. Specially not female voices, they all sounded the same. If nothing else had happened, Ruber might not have realized at all, but she had said his name. She knew who he was, and that got him thinking. "... ehmm, Ariel?" he asked back, unsure of whether he was right or wrong. It clicked, she had called for Holly. The realization made him look down at the girl next to her. So that was Holly? Damn, she is fine... He sneaked a peak at her, quite a long peak. Her skimpy dress left little to the imagination, and in that lying position, with the dress pulled just half an inch up... Oh yeah, he had definitively picked the right woman to butter up. He was practically drooling just looking at her. In that moment, just that one moment, where his eyes and both his heads were fixated on Holly, he almost forgot the note Ariel had just read. The rules. Was this some sort of game? He hadn't fully registered, thanks to his groggy state, but it was beginning to hit him now. If you were paired off with the X you would die... unless you had a star. Quickly he went to the table and grabbed his card, hoping desperately for either a star or an X, calculating these to be the only safe options. After a quick peak he folded the card inwards and put it in his pocket, his poker face initiated. This was not going to be a fun game for anyone.

Dimitri squinted his eyes when he began to wake up. Gosh, this terrible headache again! Would he wake up like this every day now? He sat up and opened his eyes, but what he saw made him blink a few times. That wasn't his and Garrett's room... He looked around and saw quite many people around him, some already awake and some still sleeping. He counted ten people - men and women - and also saw his roommate lying on the floor. So all prisoners had been taken to this...room? It honestly looked more like a cell than a room, just a blank floor and a table... Guess they were brought here to die together then.. He looked around and wondered who of the people in here were the ones he had talked to through the wall, but he hadn't heard a familiar voice so far. The young man sighed slightly and stood up, making his way over to his former roommate. "Hey, Garrett....we swiched rooms. Looks like we're in a real jail now...together with eight other people.", he informed the blind guy. Just then he noticed a girl speaking up and turned his head towards her. Oh wow, she was a real beauty. He shortly got distracted by the pretty view, but came back to reality when he heard what the girl just read from the paper. What. the. fuck. Of course, he had been waiting for the kidnapper to give them some sign, but definitely not THIS. Hot heat was filling his stomach as he looked down at his wrist. This can't be happening for real, fuck! He went over to the table, just after the brown-haired girl left and looked down at the cards like he wanted to kill them with his glance. Pick a card? Fine. He let his hand hover above different cards for a moment, before he picked one. He looked at it very shortly and tried to not make a move, before he put it into his pocket. He turned around again and looked at all the others. So, who should he team up with now?? The brown-haired girl seemed to have found her partner already, that was fast... Well, it all depended on luck anyways, so why should they think too much about it....

Post by Dean Gray on May 13, 2016 0:38:18 GMT
"Oh for the love of..." Dean thought as he came to consciousness again. He instantly froze when he realized he wasn't in his makeshift cigarette-like sleeping bag. Had it happened again? Where was he moved this time?
Opening his eyes he scanned the room, noticing several other people in it, but no Jim. "Damnit, I had just gotten comfortable with the guy.." he muttered to himself. Probably part of Their plan. Make you relax, just a little bit, before unhinging you again. Devious, really. "Just relax, think clearly, you'll be fine.." Dean repeated in his mind, like a mantra for sanity, one he felt he needed right now.
He noticed someone walking up to a table in the center, before reading a letter from said table. "Hello, I would like to play a game.." resounded in his head, a fitting backdrop for what was to come. Dean repeated his mantra a couple extra times, enough so that the others that were awale has picked. He kept repeating it till he had gotten to the table, taking a deep breath, he picked one of the envelopes before retreating to one of the walls, sliding down while leaning on it.
"Right, here goes nothing.." he said to himself, before assuming the mask of confidence. Then he opened the envelope. Having seen what he needed to, he put the card within the envelope again, before putting it in his pocket. Now it was just the issue of who to pair up with.

Post by Kayley Kingsman on May 13, 2016 0:47:42 GMT
Kayley was only half surprised when she suddenly woke up in a strange room. The other half of her was annoyed. What was with this kidnapper and knocking people out all the time? As she groaned and sat up, she quickly saw that she wasn't alone. She gave a gasp of surprise and jumped to her feet. She swayed slightly, feeling a little dizzy, but she managed to avoid falling on her face. She was shocked to see that there were a good amount of people in this room. It looked like her theory of her, Messua, Meg, and Octavia being the only captives was wrong, dead wrong. Whoever this kidnapper was, they had nabbed a lot more people than she had estimated. And it wasn't just women this person had kidnapped. They had gotten some guys too. Kayley didn't recognize any of the people that were awake. They all seemed to be gazing at cards, and each other. When Kayley heard the the rules of the game, she found out why, and she suddenly got very nervous. Somebody could die, right here, right now. It could be her. It could be anybody. In a horror movie, one of the stupid characters would probably try to leave. Kayley let out a slow breath. She wasn't going to be one of those stupid people. She was going to play by the rules, and with luck, she would get out of this alive. She drew a card and glanced at it before looking back up. Two women were already paired up. She let out another breath. She wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. Deciding to take charge, she grabbed one of the blue bracelets before holding up the other one. "Alright, who wants to pair up with little old me?" she asked, looking around at everybody else.

Post by Kida Nedakh on May 13, 2016 1:06:16 GMT
Kida blinked blearily. She sat up rather quickly when she realized the room had changed. She wasn't in the warm room with the soft bed. Just as she was about to call out for her 'roommate' she realized she wasn't alone. Her mouth went dry when she saw there were others - trapped - just like she and Celia had been. A fear finally crept over her. This many people missing and no one had come looking?
One of the girls read a card off of a nearby table. A death game? She looked down to see she had one of the shock bracelets on. She put a hand over her mouth, to keep herself from swearing. She took a deep breath. She had to stay calm. Someone had to notice this many people missing, right? She slowly got to her feet and padded over to the table, shivering since she was still bare foot and the floor was ice cold. She quietly looked over the cards, or the ones left. She could feel her heart racing. One wrong choice and she could die.
"This is so messed up," she breathed.
She took another deep breath before taking a card off the table, glancing it over and hiding it from everyone nearby.

Post by Celia Adelaine on May 13, 2016 4:15:37 GMT
Celia woke up with the same strange feeling she had back when she first came here... Slowly sitting up as she came to her senses. Before she could gather herself she heared a girl speak. This was not Kida... And it was not a girl she had seen before... Wasn't it? Celia got up. She did look familiar... But perhaps it was just imagination. So this was all a game? A fucked up game that was for sure..
Celia got up. Some people seemed to know each other. Which would most likely pair up it seemed... Celia noticed Kida picking a card. It would feel safer to pair up with Kida.. But what if Kida had a card that could potentially kill her? Would Kida play by the rules? Or would she let her know? Moving towards the table Celia got a card. One way or another this game would be gruesome.. Celia took a deep breath in and looked at her card. Putting it away into her pocket. Looking at the strings. She got the green ones. Looking around the room. This was hard... She did not want to play... She did not want this game.. Celia just wanted to go home..
Celia stepped forwards to the man who caught her eye at first. He wasn't so bad looking. The man had been talking to his roommate before picking a card. Like so many did. He had spoken to a person name Garret. Or should she pair up with Kida? It did matter who she picked so she had to be careful. She stepped forwards to Dimitri. "Excuse me." She said. "Would you like to be my partner?" Celia held out the green string for him if he wanted to.

Hearing his roommate's voice was a little comforting to be to honest, and the fact that he had botherd enough to tell him that yes, they had indeed changed rooms, was kind enough. Granted, he had already figured that out by his own, but at least this way he was now sure of it. Great. That meant he kept getting knocked out for whatever sick games thsi kidnapper was playing... like the one they're in just now. How utterly delightful. He preferd boredom over this anyday... So, eight other people then Dimitri said... One of them would end up dying. He sighed again while shoving the car he'd randomly picked down his pocket. He really couldn't trust anyone in there, his lack of sight littearly leaving him useless, and as much as hated to admit it, helpless. When it came to picking a partner, he would just have to choose randomly like he did with the cards, reach out and hope ladly luck was for once in his lifetime was on his side. Hearing another young woman breathe out just a few feet away from him, who just so happens to be Kida, he reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Wanna team up?" he asks casually, his head still facing down at the table.

Post by Isabelle Blackwood on May 13, 2016 10:00:57 GMT
Isabelle awoke cold and aching on the hard floor, her joints complaining at the ill treatment. This was not the comfortable, large bed on which she usually slept in captivity. How had she ended up on the floor, had she fallen? Her slender hand flew to her forehead where a pain blossomed. It was the same pain from when she had first arrived, dizzy and disorientating. She gave herself a moment to regain some of her senses before peering around the room.
It was dark and gloomy and oh so plain. She felt her heart flutter, this was not the level of luxury she had expected from captivity after being placed in a satisfactory room. She was in what looked to be a basement crammed with faces she did not know or care to know. She glanced around instinctively for Jane but could not see her, she panicked. Jane was the only person she had begun to trust.
Izzy's shoulders tensed and she had to clasp her hands to stop them from shaking, wringing her fingers between one another as her gaze finally fixed upon Ruber Keen. Her eyes widened and a small gasp escaped her lips, her husband's murderer. It took all of her self-control to keep herself from tearing up and instead kept her face blank. She turned on her heel and moved away from him, towards the table with the information written upon it.
Isabelle picked up her card and held it to her chest. She knew the rules, but who to play with?

Ruber looked up after picking a card to realize Isabelle had awoken. Although the court had judged in his favor on the basis of reasonable doubt, there had never been a doubt in her mind, and he couldn't say she was wrong. It was Ruber's fault her husband would never come home for dinner or kiss her in the morning again. That was on him, and he accepted responsibility for it, gladly. That man had it coming. It had been clear to him what he had to do from the moment he had drawn his card. There was only one person whom he could pair up with. He hadn't been so sure of anything for years. He looked down at the table in front of him and grabbed the red strings, before boldly moving over to Isabelle. He could tell she was trying to avoid him, and he could tell she was shaking, but Ruber was completely calm, and before long he was a mere meter away from her. "Put it on," he commanded, presenting the red string from his open palm and staring her down. This wasn't something he seemed willing to negotiate on.

Dimitri let his glance wander around the other prisoners. How should he decide on who to team up with?? He thought about teaming up with Garrett, he would somehow let him know if he wasn't compertible with him right? Oh. He almost forgot that he was freaking blind and couldn't even see his own card, that poor guy. He saw him at the table, putting a handon the shoulder of a girl with white hair. He couldn't see the girl's face, but it looked like they would make a team. Hopefully Garrett made a wise choice... His attention got caught by a blonde woman talking to him and he looked at her. She wanted to team up with him? He hesistated for a moment. She was extremely beautiful and seemed to be the innocent type. But weren't the innocent-looking the most dangerous ones? Though a close look into her eyes told him that she was really scared herself. Well, it looked like fate has chosen a pertner for him, he just hoped it meant well with him... He smiled slightly but charming. "Who wouldn't want to be the partner of such a pretty girl?", he ment and took the green string from her. "My name is Dimitri, didn't catch yours.", he went on talking while tying the string around his wrist, above the strage wristband he got from the kidnapper. He sighed inwardly. So, his fate has been chosen.

Isabelle felt Ruber draw up beside her and sucked on a sharp breath. She would simply not acknowledge him, she resolved simply. She was eyeing up the possible partners when his gruff tones interrupted her thoughts.
Izzy looked between Ruber and the red band, put that on? He must be out of his mind if he believed she would choose to pair with him of all people.
"You do not get to order me around Mr Too Keen," Isabelle quipped, biting hard on her bottom lip to prevent it from trembling. She would not cower in his shadow. Yet, she couldn't help thinking red. Red band. Red blood. Red dead husband. She shuddered.
