Fantasy The Nonary Game

[OceanBunny]

Sakaala listened to the boys conversation, silently berating herself for forgetting no more than 5 could pass through a door. "Well I guess it's just us for door 4." She said turning towards Tri and Frey. "Ready for this?" She asked before stepping up to the RED and placing her hand on the scanner. "See you guys down the road." She said to the other group as she stepped back to allow Tri and Frey to scan their bracelets.

So it was actually starting now? It was kind of half-assed of the mastermind, whoever he was, to mess up the waking times of a few of the participants. Knowing this, Saturn relaxed a little, figuring that if he had messed up one thing in the game he would mess up another. Which to him, meant less of a chance of someone blowing up.

"Huh? What?" At Winter's mention of his new codename, he snapped back to attention. He had stayed quiet this whole time because he'd never been that good at math, and was glad there were smarter people around to do the calculating for him. He'd trust them to not mess anything up though. "So it's me, Peace, and Winter, right?" Saturn asked aloud to nobody in particular as he approached door number 3. The RED and DEAD he at least understood, but there was something about the whole system that made him feel uneasy. Perhaps it was the possibility of someone sabotaging the group by scanning their bracelet in without permission, or... something like that.

He took a deep breath. "I'm ready. I swear to God, if you two fucked up the calculations..." Like his two buddies, he put his left hand up to the scanner. A mechanical 'beep' told him that he was now in the systems. It wasn't really that much of an amazing piece of technology to him, and seemed like something anyone could do if they had... whatever the heck scanners runned on. He didn't know. Saturn looked at Peace and Winter once more, then pulled the lever.

The door opens for door number 3, and thus is open for 8 seconds, and beyond the door is a hall similar in design to the room you are in. Beyond the hall is a door, and beside it is the DEAD. The hall is carpeted in navy blue with gold trimmings, and the walls are bare except for the occasional fluoroscent light to guide the way. In the entrance, there's a kind of illusion as if the DEAD next to the door at the end of the hall is a 100 meters away.

"Yay, somebody has opened the numbered door! I think it's best you run if you don't want the door closing in on you! And hold tight of the others to make sure they run in with you..." the voice said and thus dissapears.

The door opened in front of them, a strange hallway on the other side. "So...we just need to get to another one of these things on the other side...right." Looking back at his companions, he tugged grabbed each of their hands to pull them inside, giving them both a nervous smile before starting to run toward the 'Dead' on the other side of the hallway.

There was a very heavy, thick feeling inside his stomach and he couldn't help but wonder if it was the bomb beginning to act up. His hands were shaking but he began running toward the end of the hallway. The only thought in his mind was staying alive. He just had to trust that the other two had the same instincts.
As much as he hated the idea of being a pawn in someone's creepy game, he didn't see any other choice but to follow the instructions placed in front of them.

Reaching the end of the hall he scanned his watch, hearing a similar beep to when it was scanned by the 'Red'. "Come on, come on..." he pleaded under his breath, his voice meek and desperate.

Door #3 opened up in front of me, and it was the longest hall I've ever gazed my scanners on, however shock suddenly settled in; the 8 seconds, the 40 seconds, the bomb setting off, and the DEAD so far away, it all came to me so suddenly I stood on the spot blankly for a second. Peace's tug got me to my feet, or at least wings. I jumped high to gain a decent altitude in this indoor space, and spreaded my wings I kept folded in my back earlier. I zoomed past the hall at a remarkable speed that I was so often used to, but Peace came first because they didn't hesitate to run in when the door opened. After Peace was done, it was my turn to scan my watch on the DEAD. A beep signalled that I managed to make it, but I lost track of the short time we have right now.

Only a few minutes into this whole new place he is in. He already got the impression of his life is already on-the-line kind of situation. He doesn't remember anything of this place, arriving here nor even the last thing he did before he got here. For all he knows he already got out of his room 2nd to the first one who came out. There were specific instructions given to him almost like game mechanics and rules. He stayed faithful to his dreadful impression of likely to die, more that the fact he has a unique looking watch clamped onto his wrist with the LED lit label number 9. He already got the mechanics of this so called "game". Wherever he is, he is no longer in a world of his own. He adjusted his red neck tie and slightly brushed his faded violet hair aside, watching the others gather up and talk to each other in a safe and dark distance away from the group. He was leaning against the fine and well polished wall, in the part where the light doesn't strikes himself too much. It was a habit of his to do something like this.

Standing and leaning far away from the group. He wasn't so far off. The others can totally notice him. It just so happens everyone doesn't seem to look at his direction. If they look at him, they can notice that he is chilling out on the darker side of the cruise ship. Looking back at them with their crimson red eyes that appears to have the illusion of glowing in the dark. Although despite his stalking red eyes, it was not the creepy kind of stare but rather the gentle friendly kind. He poses no threat with his snake like eyes. Despite his stare his smile seems to have a different story, it projects a mischievous devilish grin. Complete with his sharp right fang out. The rest of his features were darkened but one can tell by the figure's shape that he is wearing something very formal, the classy suit and tie. A bit of strands of his hair were also shown in the light. He watched the group work things out and he is starting to grow fond of them. He doesn't seem to scared of the situation he is right now. He finally revealed himself or at least where he is, by giving the team a slow clap. "Impressive, So you fellas are the other participants that crazy voice was talking about." His voice was calm and young. One can tell that he is in his 15-16 years of age.

The figure stepped out of the light, revealing himself to others. It was a young man dressed in in a classic business attire, the suit and tie. The black color complements his eye colors. He has a lean and small body frame. He's not very tall seems to be around 4'8 or 5 flat. The biggest noticeable feature is probably his pair of blood red bat wings in his back, which was folded and clean. It seems to be a part of him. He looks like the typical demon found in those fictional novels. His wristwatch was hidden under his sleeves so only maybe a few can guess what number he holds.

Saturn was pulled into door #3 by Peace before he could say anything. The door closed behind him, and, as he realized with a deep sense of dread, that he was finally locked in. The game was beginning. There was a beeping noise coming from around the room, and after looking around for a split second, he realized the beeping noise was coming from his left wrist. "There!" He shouted, pointing in the direction of the scanner. He ran after Peace and Winter, hoping that he would be able to get there in time.

His blood still rushing, he placed his hand on the scanner after Winter, and as soon as his bracelet was scanned the persistent beeping turned off. If he was maybe about 20 seconds slower... Boom, he would be dead, just like that. The thought made him feel helpless about his fate, and he leaned on the wall, trying to relax again. "This guy thinks he can mess with us however he wants," Saturn angrily muttered to himself, annoyed that he was being treated as just another piece in a game. It reminded him too much of what happened to him a few years ago, before... Ah, whatever. It wasn't important, and all he had to think about now was escaping.

Before, when he was busy running to the DEAD, he didn't get a good chance to look around at his surroundings. He was in a long, bare hall, with a blue and gold carpet underneath his feet. The lighting didn't exactly match the chandeliers of the room he was previously in, but the walls and carpet did. Anyway, he wasn't just about to stay here and do nothing. Without waiting for his two partners, he tried opening the door next to the DEAD.

The lighting didn't exactly match the chandeliers of the room he was previously in, but the walls and carpet did. Anyway, he wasn't just about to stay here and do nothing. Without waiting for his two partners, he tried opening the door next to the DEAD.

Once Jupiter managed to lay their palm upon the DEAD, the beeping of all three persons stopped beeping in unison. Suddenly, almost directly after the bomb deactivation, all of the lights went off. It was pitch black. You couldn't even see your hand if you raised it in front of your face. Anyhow, Saturn managed to fumble in the dark to open the door they saw earlier. The light that pierces the darkness from the door he opened could shine the whole hallway if Saturn opened it all the way. Jupiter, Winter, and Peace all file in to scramble towards the room.

The light that was emanating was from a lone, powerful bulb in the center of the ceiling. Directly below the huge bulb was an operating table. A crash-course dummy lies on top of it. Besides the dummy is another table filled to the brim with surgical tools ranging in various sizes. The scent, design of the walls, and the overall presentation reminds many of a hospital. There are no other items aside from the aforementioned objects. There is another door across the room, but if one tries to open it, they'll notice that it is locked. Move closer to the dummy, and you can see it is semi-translucent, and inside are dummy hearts and other various organs. The table for surgical tools all have the necessary tools for a surgical operation, be it needles, scalpels, syringes and more, all of them with at least four different variant of sizes. On closer inspection, the dummy's left hand is holding a crumpled piece of paper. Inside it reads out:

"Find the key I swallowed. It is difficult, though; it could be in my heart, lungs, stomach, it could have ended up anywhere! You don't mind, do you?"
​

Behind the paper reads:

"Second, third, seventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, twenty-sixth."​

The intense sanitary smell of the room they came into was a strange departure from the neutral halls and main areas of the ship. They seemed to be in some sort of medical bay, all set up for surgical procedures and bodily research. There were all manners of sharp implements that made Peace thankful that he didn't feel like Saturn or Winter were a danger to him. This mastermind was certainly giving a lot of opportunities for mayhem and they had only just begun.

The dummy itself gave him the creeps. Translucent skin which should be hard had more of a fleshy give to it when he touched the hand to take the note from it's grasp. He moved away from the unmoving figure to focus on the note, distracting himself with the puzzle.

"Inewai?" He traced his finger over the second, third, seventh, thirteenth, fourteenth and twenty sixth letters in the note. That didn't seem to get him anywhere. If it wasn't letters...That's it! "The key is in my mind!!" He called out to his companions, clearly proud of himself. "That means one of us needs to cut into the dummy's brain, right?" As exciting as it was to solve a word puzzle, he was far less thrilled at the prospect of slicing into a human figure, fake or not.

Aegis laughed when he was seen through for using a fake name. It didn't bother him, just didn't expect them to have thought the same. "Oh man. I can fell you guys are gonna be so much fun!" He cheered. "Yeah, using a fake name. No hard feelings." He admitted, tilting his head as he smiled.

"Oh so we're actually doing this now? Kinda sucks I couldn't meet the last couple people. Oh well." He said, glancing at the other group before dinging his own watch on his groups door. "Ding!" He resounded stepping to the side as well. Then something struck him. "Uhhh. So, what are your names? Or at least something to call you two by."

"I only gave my number." Sakaala said, turning her wrist to show the 7 displayed on her watch. "Winter started calling her Tri." She gestured towards the other girl before a new individual made themselves known. She turned towards where the voice came from as he stepped from the shadows. "And you are?" She inquired, knowing he had to be 5, 8 or 9. I don't feel right leaving him alone.. but we already scanned in and even if we could figure a way to take him then the two that have yet to arrive wouldn''t be able to pass through a door. She thought, sighing as she looked over the boy.

An intriguing individual replied to his question. A soft chuckle slipped off the boy's grin. He approached the girl slowly yet confidently, while walking towards her. His eyes diverted to the scene that the others already made it to the other side. It was only a short glance but he knew that he was a bit too late to the party. He got a bit too carried away at the moment. He quickly analyzed the situation around him before he came to a complete stop towards the girl and the others close to her. "Whom? Me? Oh, i'm nobody~ Just another victim of this "game" we are all trapped in." The boy ended his statement with a small chuckle. He seems to be very confident with himself, no hint of shyness. It's almost like he is used to talking to a lot of random strangers. "Immature behavior aside, i am merely just another fellow with a state-of-the-art wristwatch clamped on his wrist." As soon as he ended his statement. He pulled up his sleeve to show the number of his LED wristwatch's number. As clear as day, the number this boy holds is the number 9! "Please, refer to me as nine. My real name does not matter here." The lads voice was clear. The projection of the number nine on his wristwatch was accompanied by his confident smile. "It seems like you and the others have already made progress here. Judging by the scenario here, it seems like only you fine ladies and gents get to pass through." Despite the sad message he is delivering to the girl. He still confident about his statement despite how ugly it sounds.

Illiana stayed silent, working through everything that had happened so far. She watched the newcomer and studied him. 'I want to go off on my own, but that wouldn't be the safest, or smartest, idea. How do we know we can even get out? We trust this person so blindly, but what choice do we have?'

"Do you think its possible for all of us to get out of here?" She knew her question was out of the blue but it had bothered her from the beginning. What would happen if one of them did die? Would the others care? Would they even mourn the loss of a complete stranger? "I know it is probably silly of me to think this way, but what if we can't? What if we only one or two of us can actually make it out?"

 

[OceanBunny]

What would happen if we added nine to our group? Sakaala wondered after he revealed his watch. Currently we come to 11 which has a digital root of 2 so we can go through the door. If we added 9 to our total it would be.. 20!! He could come with us. She looked up excitedly to Nine. "You could come with us!" She exclaimed before her smile faltered. "But that would leave the other two unable to pass through a door.." She sighed as she turned to Tri, listening to what the girl had to say. "I understand your worry. Only 3 to 5 people can go through a door so it's unlikely more than 5 of us will be leaving here even if we all survive to the end. And if less than three survive to the end.. they may not be able to pass through the exit." Her voice went somber as she thought about the full extent of their situation.

I look around the room to observe the various paraphernalia in the center of the room. Is that another person on top of the bed? They're probably dead, though. I don't know what a dead human would look like. This is just creepy. My sensors indicate various odors, such as a hint of ethanol. The room was relatively bright, but such intensity never blares my sensors. I spot the door on the other side of the room. I somewhat knew that it was locked, but still I got a bit surprised. Nevertheless, I look back at the others.

"Hey, the only other door out of here is locked." I relay to the others. At the same time, Peace seems to be holding a piece of paper, and after reading it, they seem to have found a solution to their problem. I walk and stand over their shoulder to get a better view of what they are holding. As I read it, I didn't understand what kind of gibberish the second sentence was talking about with the numerical places, but Peace seems to have pieced something together, and their solving it looks like he is confident of his answer. The dummy? Wait, this isn't a real dead body? Well, at least Peace thinks so. I look over to the figure, and rustbuckets be damned I saw various internal mechanisms inside the dummy. I think, according to my limited knowledge of humans, that Peace means the key is in the head of this dummy body. Without thinking, I try pushing my hand through its head. Despite being a fleshy figure, its skin is difficult to penetrate with just my hands.

"Okay, now what? This seems impossible." I exclaim to the others. Seriously, how does this kidnapper of ours think of letting us solve unsolveable puzzles? I mean, there is no way they can safely and procedurally extract a key from the dummy's head, right? I mean, what can these tiny objects at the other table can do? Slice bread?

Meanwhile, as a problem he hadn't yet thought of was being discussed by the other group, Saturn did a close observation of his new surroundings.

The first thing he noticed was the dummy on top of the operating table, which was the most noticeably strange thing in the room. For a split second, he thought it was a real human, but realized that it was just a fake. The whole room smelled like a hospital, and looked like one as well. The walls were white and bare, and the only way to describe the scent of the room besides 'hospital' was 'intensely sanitary'. It looked like there were many sharp objects on the table next to the dummy, but a closer look told Saturn that they were only surgical tools. Not to say that you couldn't kill someone with a scalpel, though. Judging from the translucent dummy, the tools were supposed to be used to cut the dummy organs out.

He watched as Peace first uncrumpled the paper from the dummy's hands. It was a riddle of sorts, but the other boy quickly figured out that they needed to perform an operation and remove the brain to get the key. Ah, that was the purpose of the medical tools. When Winter tried putting its hand straight through the dummy's head, Saturn tried pushing him aside. "Here, let me try." He took a scalpel and a pair of scissors from the table and began trying to cut open the human- er, dummy, and couldn't help but feel a little sick at the thought of cutting a human open. Whatever, if surgeons could do it, he could too. With some effort, he finally removed the brain from the dummy and checked around it for a key.

After looking inside, a small blue key was found inside the the left and right partition of the brain. It is light, and it looks like an ordinary key. If one picks it up, an invisible string connecting the key to the inside of the brain cuts off if it is ever pulled. Like a tripwire, it triggers a cartoon-ish victory fanfare, and it blares out around the room, and it is somewhat difficult to pinpoint the exact location of its source.

Now, what to use the key for?

Immediately after, door 2 squeaks in an almost mocking fashion, opening a little bit, then snapping shut.

"I can't wait, the audience on the other side is waiting!" The voice taunts to them. Whatever that would mean.

A victory fanfare rang throughout the room as if mocking them for their small success. It was hard to pinpoint the source, but he was sure there was all sorts of equipment tracking and taking note of their every move, so it was a mute point trying to figure out where it was all hidden.

Looking around the room a second time, Peace noticed a door on the opposing side, but other than that, he wasn't quite certain what the key might unlock. "We could try the key on that door?" He looked at Saturn who seemed the more...delicate of his two current companions. "If that doesn't work though...well, hopefully it's for the door and we don't have to keep looking." he grimaced at the thought. It was bad enough being trapped in here without the concern of their work being in vain.

The voice of the overseer had been...quiet. As much as he disliked that they were being watched, it was even more uncomfortable not knowing what might happen next.

I watch as Saturn says that he will instead try to get the key inside the dummy. I wonder if that's even possible. Before I was able to suggest that I should probably blow it up, he picks up one of the metal objects, one of the sharper ones, and cuts it through the forehead of the dummy. Wow, I never thought of that, using a knife for cutting up something else than food. However, I can sense a bit of hesitation in their little procedure. Finally, however, Saturn procured a key from the inside of the dummy's head, just like what Peace said. Suddenly, some weird noise blurts off inside the room. Strange, where is it coming from? After a bit, I ignore it, and put one plus one together, meaning both a hidden key, and a locked door.

"Hey Saturn, go ahead and see if the door locked earlier will open with that key." I say to them

[fifth]

The small blue key was hidden in the brain, as Peace had suspected. With a small sense of accomplishment, Saturn pulled out the key he dug up. However, when he did, he felt a tiny tug on the key and a loud fanfare-ish noise suddenly blared around the room. "The hell was that for?" He shouted at the invisible mastermind of the game, silently cursing him for his dumb tricks. Speaking of which, the mastermind had been awfully quiet, but Saturn figured that once the group progressed more into door #3, they'd get to hear more of the mastermind's annoying voice. Joy.

"Okay. Hold on, let me put these back first," Saturn said, holding up the medical tools he was using earlier to cut the dummy open.

He made his way back to the operating table, where the stack of tools lay next to it. If it wasn't for an idea he suddenly had, he probably wouldn't have thought of putting the tools he had with him back where they belonged. Which was, ironically, not what he intended to do- He just needed to hide out of sight of Peace and Winter for a few seconds. As he walked to where the tools were being kept, Saturn pretended to drop the pair of scissors he had with him on the floor, letting out a small grunt of annoyance for good measure. He bent down to pick it up, the operating table convienently blocking parts of him from sight. Instead of returning the scalpel he also had to the pile, he secretly pocketed it and hoped that neither of his buddies saw him do it, or noticed that he only put the pair of scissors back in.

The young man got up, dusted his jacket off slightly, and headed over to the door at the end of the room, key in hand. "Here goes nothing. Can't wait to dissect another human," He said sarcastically, then tried opening the door again.

Listening to what the other participants have to say. They sure have brains alright, they're intelligence is almost suspiciously coincidental to him. Like as if the one who gathered them all here just didn't pick up random strangers down the streets. He kept this idea in mind, he'll have to pick up more information by investigating more, even the smallest of details. He just doesn't want to get out of here alive, he also wants to know why he is here too, along with the others too. He placed his hand over his chin, acknowledging the other's statements in mind. "True, i understand the situation we are all trapped in, thanks to the mystery crazy mastermind behind the mic. My concern for the other participants and the sake of our own safety and our odd chance of survival are truly the same as yours, ladies but-" The vampire-like boy seems to sound very sincere despite his devilish grin on display. He was about to finish his statement until the Game master or at least the guy who facilitates the so called "game" interrupted his talking. He perked his ears up to listen closely to what they have to say. The GM doesn't seem to fond of them standing around and talking out rationally to each other. "My, my... Impatient are we...?" He murmured under his breath halfway as the voice spoke to them rudely. He waited for the voice to finally stop talking.

"Anyway, like i was saying... But this might not be the time to worry about those since somebody is a little impatient." His eyes rolled towards the source of the voice, indicating that he is directly referring to the mastermind as the impatient one. He seems to be only one of those guys who has nerves of steel to give comebacks against the ones who are higher in power. What's he trying to do? Is he gambling his life? Or worse? Whatever he's doing seems to be self destructive. He kept his taunting smile as he confidently looked back to the others. "So, is everyone ready? It seems like our best option right now is to move on. I know some of you guys are concerned about the others but we really need to get moving for the better." Again he sounded sincere. One can tell he is ready to move thanks to his obvious body language, his left foot is already ahead from his right and a slight slouch forward. Remembering the voice's statement earlier. An Audience? Are they being watched? A lot of theories popped on his head but he has yet to confirm to actually make it a fact that they are being watched. What he can totally confirm on such a small detail he observed. The voice is totally aware of their voices as if they can hear everything they are saying as if they are present in the room. Much worse if they can also see them and what their doing. He mentally took note of these details.

The small blue key was hidden in the brain, as Peace had suspected. With a small sense of accomplishment, Saturn pulled out the key he dug up. However, when he did, he felt a tiny tug on the key and a loud fanfare-ish noise suddenly blared around the room. "The hell was that for?" He shouted at the invisible mastermind of the game, silently cursing him for his dumb tricks. Speaking of which, the mastermind had been awfully quiet, but Saturn figured that once the group progressed more into door #3, they'd get to hear more of the mastermind's annoying voice. Joy.

"Okay. Hold on, let me put these back first," Saturn said, holding up the medical tools he was using earlier to cut the dummy open.

He made his way back to the operating table, where the stack of tools lay next to it. If it wasn't for an idea he suddenly had, he probably wouldn't have thought of putting the tools he had with him back where they belonged. Which was, ironically, not what he intended to do- He just needed to hide out of sight of Peace and Winter for a few seconds. As he walked to where the tools were being kept, Saturn pretended to drop the pair of scissors he had with him on the floor, letting out a small grunt of annoyance for good measure. He bent down to pick it up, the operating table convienently blocking parts of him from sight. Instead of returning the scalpel he also had to the pile, he secretly pocketed it and hoped that neither of his buddies saw him do it, or noticed that he only put the pair of scissors back in.

The young man got up, dusted his jacket off slightly, and headed over to the door at the end of the room, key in hand. "Here goes nothing. Can't wait to dissect another human," He said sarcastically, then tried opening the door again.

The key can be inserted into the lock, and afterwards one can enter the next room. This leads to a large area akin to a common hall, corridors leading to the left, right, and a door in front of you. Also, there are stairs that lead downstairs right next to where you all exited. The corridors to your immediate left and right simply leads to bedrooms, much more simpler than the extravagant bedrooms all of you woke up in. The end of the left corridor has a locked door, whilst the end of the right corridor has no door to speak of. Nothing much else here, though. However, the door in front of you from where you exited the operation room leads to an extremely large room. However, multiple hospital beds in a neat row and column are spread out that provides only enough space for all of you to walk through. The smell of a hospital also somewhat lingers here. On the other side of the room, there were four doors; 4, 8, 6, and one that has no number.

Sakaala nodded at nine as he spoke of them getting moving after the voice had impatiently interrupted their conversation. "I suppose it would be best before He does something to force us." She said with a sigh. Stepping away from the RED she motioned for the others to finish scanning in. Best to take what we have and figure the rest out as we go. Then maybe at least most of us will get out of here alive.
