I wake up, and automatically question myself, where am i? What did i do? What is this? I look at the Host, and then at myself. I try to stand up, and finally get the ability to speak. "E-Excuse me, W-where am i? Who are you, may i ask?" I get a little nervous, and glare somewhere in the distance. This isn't too good. I bury my hands in the desk and try to see what's inside.

Hazy. That was the word that described my mind. When I opened my eyes, a classroom greeted me, along with its occupants. The people were colorful, to say the least. One dressed like a warrior, one is a pink sailor, and one is a nut. I laughed discreetly. I found myself sitting on a student's chair, my drool on the desk. After wiping it clean with my hand, one person approached me and began to explain the situation. It was the pink sailor. He introduced his name to be Zed, along with my name. "GamerXD8" is an awfully weird name, but things were already turning from weird and bizzare, so I no longer cared for its legimacy. Then, I examined my clothings and pockets, hoping to find something of use. Also, I checked out the desk and chair, according to Zed's information. After all that, I walked to the fridge and got myself 5 cool bottles of water, along with a 5 bags of chips. It was a handful, but I guess it's necessity. Then, I stood beside the door, observing.

I'm going to be chronically depressed when I have to read a novel when I get back from my job and internship. Until then, I remain seated in the hopes that all four chairs being occupied does something.

Quote from Azure Kite
[Sorry for the Hold Up. Game, on!]

The room in which all awake is lit with fluorescent lights. It appears to be a classroom, and everyone is seated with a name tag on their chests. Strangely enough, none can remember a thing. Tension is high at this realization, but before anything can be said, there is the sound of clapping from the head of the class.

A man with pale skin and a white makes looks upon his audience. "Hello, you hopeful youth! I am so glad you all are here to join me. Now, allow me to introduce myself. I am The Host. I make up the rules, dish out punishment, and as far as you're concerned, I am god. Or the devil. I do quite like the work of both, no matter what religious view is being viewed. Now, to begin, read the paper in front of you. It's the rules. They can be updated as I see fit, but for now, they suffice. Your fist challenge begins when you all have had a chance to memorize them. It's the difference between life and death you know!" He chuckles, as if it were all a joke to him.


Check the classroom, there might be useful things..

We are somewhat further through than that...


Ok, for those of you who are just joining us and won't read 300 posts:


1. When you woke up you had a piece of paper with the rules on it. That's just what's on the first page of this thread. There was nothing else on the paper unless you are Ai, Golden, or S21-P in which case the paper said "Good luck! Don't screw up," on the back.

2. In each of your desks was a knife, and I was kind enough not to gather these knives for myself while you slept.

3. Under each desk was a word. By combining the words we found our first clue, which ultimately let us get out of the room. You do not need to concern yourselves with the classroom any more.

4. We are currently in, for all intents and purposes, a corridor, with two doors as our next option. One door leads to an interrogation room, while the other leads to a slide. Yes, a slide. The slide goes up, not down, and there are nets on the wall at the sides to help you climb it. One person has climbed the slide successfully. He was not injured. There was nothing at the top. Yet.

5. The corridor is full of flailing metal arms, but they calm down if I get near them because I completed a challenge or something, so I'm taking people wherever they want to go. There is probably no need to concern yourselves with the arms, although someone discovered cold air coming out of a hole in their palms so maybe there's some clue there. If not that seems like a weird piece of information. The immunity to danger thing will last me one more room after this one, or something. It's ill-defined.

6. The Host has told us that nothing else will happen until we're all in a room. We do not all have to be in the same room, but I think it will make things easier if we are. That said, about four people are in each room at the moment. Pick your room.

7. In addition to the knives from your desks, each of you will have clothes and pockets. Check your pockets and clothes at some point. These are the ones which we know so far:

Item list/ owner

All: Blade

Golden: Poison
Zed: Pencil
Crank: Crystal Orb, Bullet
ForgottenUser: Note saying 'Fear Zed's influence.'
Purpl3: Pen: "In Loving Memory of Rosie and Camila, Hot Gals Who Left For Better Lives."
Praetorian: Sand

Clothes:
ForgottenUser: Ridick leather outfit
Fries: McDonald’s Uniform
Purpl3: Purple shirt and blue denim jeans.
Crank: Street clothes
Zed: Manly pink sailor uniform.
Golden: Nut suit
Pox: Swaggear
Sacred: Thong and torn skirt, like Jesus.
Praetorian: Khakis, turtleneck, pink sandals with socks.

8. Some people will also have food from when there was a fridge here, but it has now disappeared into the floor, along with the Host. You do not need to concern yourselves with the fridge.

9. It's worth noting that this place is dangerous. There was a hand-sized slot in the wall in the first room, which was too dark to see into. If we had stuck a hand in there, we would have lost the hand. It shredded a chair-leg. And Fries got pulled arms-depth into a hole when he tried to shake hands with a metal arm, costing him some sanity (which he later recovered). So yeah, don't do anything which could be dangerous.

10. There may be a time limit for picking a room. It is not two days. I would expect it to be until we die of thirst, because we're ostensibly between challenges right now, but Azure Kite has hinted that there may be something.


All you need to do right now, as far as I can see, is pick a room and check your pockets. I suggest we all go into the interrogation room, because it has chairs and a table to sit on. Feel free to have a go on the slide first though.

I encourage people to read through the thread, since just about every post is either a question or an answer. Anything you read is information. I read it all, although admittedly I was there at the time so it seemed like less.

^I agree, You guys should really read as many of the previous posts as possible. I think it helped me get a feel for what type of game this is, and what kind of traps our host seems to tend to use. You might also find out the others have overlooked an obvious question that you might want to ask (like how it was a while before anyone checked their pockets from what I read. )

All I can say is be very careful in how you word your actions, wrong wrong miswored phrase can end up killing you or or even others. Teamwork is key here guys.

Whoa! I think this game is very interactive. And I agree with vianbni, we should check the classroom

My eyes drifted towards the arms-filled corridor.

"That is reassuring." I then asked Zed to check out the palm. He said there were wind coming from it, so further examination by him was in order. Also, he should check if he can remove the arm, since he is unaffected by it.

I looked at the dagger, and took it with me. Then, i ascended into the corridor, and looked at the interrogation room. I did not like it, even more, i hated it. I wanted to stab someone who did this to me, WHY WOULD THEY TRAP ME HERE. I go over and see the other room, i see if there is anyone there.

I'll just describe the clothes of pocket-gear of the new arrivals:

PLasmaghost: Wearing some jeans and a ghostbusters t-shirt. His pockets contain a timepiece which, when opened, have the initials AD.

GamerXD8: Wearing MegaMan cosplay. His pockets contain a few batteries of varying sizes.

Captain4dji: Wearing pirate garb, including an eye patch. Empty pockets.

Sadko: Wearing the finest visible silks, which he remembers were supposed to be invisible to everyone else. His pockets contain nothing.

Continue with your room-picking, gents.

A Megaman suit, with batteries. Why am I not surprised anymore...

I'll go check up on the interrogation room. Chances are that, we solve the puzzle inside it, and a treasure of some sort will appear on the ledge. Zelda shit.

EDIT: Also, can Zed do what I ask?
