Darius awakens from his slumber. His first thought: Why am I still wearing my jacket?
His second: Where the hell am I?

He smells the breakfast laid out in front of him. His stomach growls, but he is wary. Something is not right. Bacon can wait for now.

He notices the card immediately, the writing calling out to his eyes. He gets out of bed and walks to the wardrobe, his curiosity getting the better of him. But before he reads the note, his hand suddenly flies to his pocket on impulse.
Ah. The Book is still there. Marvelous. In retrospect, he realises, I felt it as I stood up. How silly of me.
He checks the remainder of his pockets out of habit. Keys, wallet, mobile phone (dead, damn).

Finally, he gets around to reading the card.

The Card said:
"The story is simple and the goal is plain, but from where you move from the start in this game, may end just the same.
You'll awake in a location from which you must escape somehow, with resources and other people to be found.
Little plaques or pieces of paper will show a goal, to escape an area free and whole.
Their will be challenges and danger, some normal others stranger, and things may get difficult to comprehend, and not all will survive in the end.
So good luck to you and what you do, a reward of Life, Liberty, and Lost to those who remain true."
-You Gracious Host
Leon Tar
P.S You can try to escape before we start, though be warned if you are faint of heart.
Some kind of game? How unnerving. And yet... exciting. Who is this Leon Tar? I don't recall ever meeting him.
He notices the only oddly out-of-place objects in the room - a pen knife and a black plastic handle on top of one of the nightstands. What could they be for? He pockets them and flicks through the Bible briefly, before placing it back down on the nightstand.

He glances at the window and notices the bars immediately. Less than immediately however, he catches a glimpse of his reflection, and is shocked to see a metallic collar around his neck. What is this?! A motel with bars? A neck collar? This Card may not be as ludicrous as it first seemed! ...In which case the door is likely locked. I should check my surroundings first, perhaps I'll find something useful, like a weapon.

He then begins to systematically search the room.

He first attempts to search the wardrobe. He sees the vault and takes a note of the coathangers - perhaps they will come in useful later.

He then searches inside the two nightstands (if they have drawers), and looks under the bed.


OOC: Let me know if I'm doing too many actions in one post, I'm partly trying to catch up and partly aware of time constraints that will come up in the next couple days. Hopefully not too much!

*Off base a bit, but think of the phrase on the card, it isn't the hard, you don't need to be a bard, or have a brain that weighs like twenty pounds of lard. It asks for a rhyme at the time to finish it off, and ends in the punctuation so soft. Period.

He want's to know if I can do anything unusual... Kirelia thought. Well, since he's tied up like that, I guess it can't hurt.

"Well, now that you mention it, I have always been better than anyone at climbing." She said. Kirelia didn't elaborate any more, yet, as she still wasn't entirely sure about this guy. "But you, once again, avoided my question. Now, unless you like frying in the sun, you will answer me truthfully, and I might release you from these handcuffs."

She was kinda surprised at the mouse's apparent familiarity with Tom, but decided not to mention it for now.

She was kinda surprised at the mouse's apparent familiarity with Tom, but decided not to mention it for now.
"Fair Enough young lady, though it is bit of a long tale and I'm at your mercy in the end." Moving the manacles on his hands and crossing his legs, he takes a deep breath.

"First off I can tell you this, who ever is messing with all of us has a reason, and most of all I think it is because we all can do some neat thing, I'm gonna be completely open from here out. The Rules say so."

Scratching at his chin, He begins his tale

<spoiler=The Manacled Man>"I'm as you can see a convict, names Tom Cecills (Says-ill). I awoke like you probably did over in the motel, I think when it was my time, there were 4 of us on the first floor."

Pausing a bit as if listening to an unheard voice and staring a bit oddly, he fidgeted and continued.

"Never mind about that, for now I got to get to my past, and if you help me, I'll help you with the rest of my tale." Shaking his head to dislodge a thought or something,
"Now as a convict I was in prison for well... murder, more of slaughter I guess considering. I was just an officer, and was decent with a trick or two up my sleeve, and one day I got a noise disturbance call.

"I went, checked out the house, this old ruined place, I knew some bums had lived there, and I got a 'feeling' something was off from the start. I go in flashlight all a set and look around, and head over to the basement from... another 'feeling'. Turns out some sickos went and tied up a little girl down there, and all she had been eating was rats and whatever else was down there."

"After an investigation and some other things we got the bastards, but lo and behold they had dirt and would get a cozy deal for squealing. I ended up ramming them with my car after court and throttled one as he tried to escape."

The whole time Tom recites his tail he looks down cast, a bit sad, and watery in the eyes. Occasionally brushing some random piece of dust with a dirty sleeve from them, while the mouse sways and moves along with him in time, never once looking unsteady.

"I got fired and sent to prison, the worst part was that a few of them were still up and in prisons, the better part was that we got in the same prison. I got them before they hit me though, and I don't regret it."

Towards the end his voice hits a bit of steel and vile anger, but calms down as he looks up at Kirelia.

"Now some of 'em were more 'innocent' then others, and some were just 'associates', but I stand by what I did. I was gonna be executed when I woke up the next morning here, and things happened, and now I'm here"

*Turning to face the strange person behind her Piper lights up at the thought that she isn't completely alone. Still cautious though, she secretly grips her pocket knife in her hand preparing for the worst*
"Like i said, my name is Piper..."
For all I know, this could be one of my gracious hosts traps... better safe then sorry
"No offense dude but... I'm kinda suspicious about you right now! I mean, I was abducted and left in a freaky hotel with no memory or explanation of what's happening! And then some random guy comes up to me right after I get out???

If your another person like me who was just caught up in all this then I'm sure we'll be meeting up again soon, but for now I think I'm gonna look around for some clues to get myself outta here..."

*With that she turned away from the stranger and headed down the stairs to ground level*
it was nice to see someone else but I don't think i can afford to trust him yet... Let's go check some of these cars out! Maybe there's something useful in them....

*Piper begins a systematic search of the cars in the parking lot*

"Huh... looks like someone has already been through here once..."

I'm back. Miss me?

Louis looks out over the parking lot. He spots a few others wandering the halls and walking down on the street. He hears voices below him. Sounds like a man and a woman.

He can't make out what the guy is saying, but he's a clear nut job.

Great. I get called on leave and I still gotta do my job. I better watch this guy.

The girl thinks to herself for a bit.

C'mon. Don't trust the loser.

"No offense dude, but... I'm kinda suspicious about you right now! I mean, I was abducted and left in a freaky hotel with no memory or explanation of what's happening! And then some random guy comes up to me right after I get out?"

Smart girl.

"If your another person like me who was just caught up in all this then I'm sure we'll be meeting up again soon, but for now I think I'm gonna look around for some clues to get myself outta here..."

Loser shrugs his shoulders and wanders off as the girl walks into the parking lot. Louis clears his throat and calls out to her.

"HEY! YOU!"

He catches her attention. Louis walks downstairs and talks to her.

"You okay? That guy giving you any trouble?"

*Another voice draws her attention back towards the hotel. Instinctively she grabs the knife, making sure to keep it concealed but still ready to be used if need be*

Another one... be careful Piper, we still can't quite trust them yet
"Yeah, I'm fine... Theres no trouble...
Well... other then the fact that I have no fucking idea how I got here or what I'm supposed to be doing!

...what about you, what brings you here?"

He spots her going for the knife.

Come on. Don't be like that.

"Same as you I guess. You woke up half-an-hour ago? Solve some fucking stupid riddles?"

Oh thank god! He's in the same predicament I'm in...

*Noticeably more relaxed, Piper lets go of the knife and starts to warm up to the stranger*

"Oh thank God... At least I'm not the only one! I'm... not exactly sure why but... I trust your telling the truth and not some goon for this Leon character...

...I have to say, it's good to meet somebody else! I... I don't handle being alone very well..."

*feeling a bit awkward, she tries to change the subject*

"...do you think there's anyone else? I mean... like us?

Oh, and I'm Piper by the way"

"Sounded like at least ten other people walking around. Heard a gunshot though, so maybe nine."

Louis holds out his right hand.

"I'm Louis."

*Firmly grasping his hand, Piper gives it a good shake*
"Well, i'm glad I met you Louis...
...but tell me honestly, do you think we have a shot at getting out of here? out of this crazy situation?"

"The street's right there. I don't think anything is keeping us from leaving."

He pauses. Takes a deep breath and looks out on the road.

"I don't know. It just doesn't feel right."

"And even if we did leave, where would we go? Where could we go?" We're in the middle of damned Nowhere!

...besides, i'll bet that leon isn't just gonna let us leave. He's probably fenced the area off or something to prevent us...

But all that's beside the point! We need to do something... something that can help us escape...

Any suggestions?"

"Not a bad tale, especially for someone who has been out in the sun all day." Kirelia said. "But, before I release you, I have just one more question. What "unusual ability" do you have?"

Sry for the delay between postings, got distracted by a rather good game of League of Legends.

"I say we meet with everyone else. Anyone who wants to leave goes together. The rest of us can stay."

"I like it! I like it a lot!
...so... where is everyone else? If we made it out of the rooms then I bet at least someone else did too! Why don't we split up and look around for other players!"

*Seeming happy at the thought of more people, Piper immediately turns to go search for somebody else. However, she only gets a few steps before she stops.*

I should tell him...
"Hey Louis... have you ever thought that you were... different from everybody else? like, that you had a sort of unique ability? A... a power?"

"... Not really, no."

That came from left field.

"Splitting up is a bad idea. Let's go together."

*She starts walking off again towards the parking lot*
"Sure thing, come on let's go! And sorry for that weird question... just sorta crossed my mind!
Don't mind me, I'm still just a bit happy that I'm not alone anymore!"
[sub][sub]...I don't want to be alone again... ever again[/sub][/sub]

*Looking through the parked vehicles she decides that her first loot-target would be the white van.*

"that would be a good place to start!" *she says, pointing it out. "if there's anything valuable it's probably in there!" *She starts towards it with Louis following slightly behind. Speaking low enough that he won't hear her (or at least not be able to understand what she's saying) she starts talking*
You didn't tell him...
"... there was no reason too... he obviously doesn't have anything, so why would i tell him?"
Maybe he was lying
"And why would he do that?"
...the same reason you just lied to him...
"That's~... Well~...
Shutup! Why am I talking to myself anyways?!"
*She reaches the van and tries for the door*

"So Louis... waddya wanna bet that it's locked?"

Well, I'm off guys! I'll be checking on the thread throughout the day but I won't be consistently on until 5 or 6 PM my time (It's 2:30 AM right now BTW)...

PEACE!!
