TW: kidnapping, violence, broken bones, blood, fatshaming, starvation

The clock strikes nine.

Maisie Anderson takes the stage, her sister Harlow standing off to the side beaming. For a moment, as she stares at the crowd, she feels a warmness washing over her. Her gaze finds Mara, grinning at her in the see of familiar faces, before her blue eyes land on Jonah, standing at the very front of the dance floor. Then her gaze meets Harlow’s and her grin widens even more.

“Hey guys, I hope everyone’s been having a great night! I know we’ve been through a lot this past year. Administration wanted to cancel the snowflake ball, but Harlow and I fought for it. Because despite everything this school has been through, we can still laugh and love and have fun. We deserve that. And I didn’t want them to take it from us. So tonight, I wanted to--”

  B L A C K  O U T .

The gymnasium is enveloped in pitch-black darkness.. And then all of a sudden Maisie’s panicked voice echoes through the speakers “HARLOW--!!” before the microphone comes crashing to the floor with an ungodly screech.

There is shouting, phone lights flicker on, but all attempts to be heard are futile. Chaos has taken over the dance floor. Students are pushing their way through the crowds, some are shouting, some are just frightened half to death. Staff members try to tame the situation, but to no avail.

Only three minutes later lights flood the room once more...

just as a body is dropped from the ceiling onto center stage. It’s only a moment before a staff member identifies the blood-drenched body. Two things become very clear:

Gunner Castle is dead, and Maisie Anderson is missing. One student found, only for another to vanish.

Attention, members!

       This officially marks ‘part two’ of the event. Feel free to have your characters react to the black out part of the evening, but since the blackout is relatively short, we’d ask that you try to place any future starters after the lights have come back up.

Here are a few things to keep in mind IN CHARACTER:

After five minutes, Headmistress Patterson’s voice echoes over the intercom. The following information is given out of the overhead speakers:

Security will be taking count of everyone in the gym.

Once your character has been accounted for, they will be ordered to go straight back to their rooms.

Staff members will be accompanying students in groups to make sure that everyone gets back safely.

Girls will go to their dormitory, while boys must go to their own.

Any witnesses of Maisie Anderson’s disappearance will be questioned in the morning.

There is safety in numbers so stick together right now.

“Well, this is... new.” Adam turned to the person beside her. She hadn’t been to a haunted house hosted by a school before, it wasn’t frightening which was disappointing, but at least it was entertaining. She’d invited herself down to the events having no one else to go with yet. Sure she knew a few people here but knowing that she was going to have to stay here for the next few years made her a little nervous about being so confident. She was usually unapologetic because she knew she could move on and probably never see her fellow students again, that was starting to change a little now. “I guess it’s nice they’re trying though, right?” 

“Each of you have demons you are harboring, trying to keep locked away. Each of you have been exposed to a deadly nerve toxin for the past thirty minutes. You have another hour and a half between the toxin corrupts every inch of your body, and you will drown in your own bodily fluids. There are, however, several anecdotes hidden within the maze. And finally, check your phones. I have special messages for each of you.”  

Kace stiffened at the mention of his so called demons. He needed to escape with trap, and then he needed to find that antidote. What if Braelynn was here? He needed to search every room to ensure her safety. After a few moments, the voice spoke again, this time addressing him and the person to his back. 

“Inside the acid is the key to your chains. In order to free yourselves, one of you must reach inside for the key. Once the chains are unlocked, the razors will retract and you will be free to go. If you don’t act soon enough, the key will be disintegrated by the acid, and you will bleed to death. It’s only a matter of time before the major artery in your leg is severed, so don’t waste any time”

His eyes snapped to the bowl as they spoke, inside the key sat, and Kace took notice that it was bubbling, disintegrating, just like the voice said. He looked back at his legs and then twisted as much as he could, within causing too much pain, he was trying to see the person behidn him, “Who--” He paused, “Are you okay? Do you know what’s going on?” He said, trying to remain calm, but everything was coming out quickly, and panicked. 

The clock strikes eight, and the real Hell begins.

One by one, students and staff begin to drop like flies. E’s pawns have been working their way throughout the crowd all night, drugging as many people as possible. All festivities stop suddenly as staff and students alike fall unconscious. The only few people still standing are E’s pawns, who at this hour are in the process of moving body after body, following the instructions being sent to their phones.

It’s no secret that E is smart as hell, yet this is taking things to a new level. Using a carefully crafted form of hypnosis, E has managed to bend the wills of those that couldn’t be blackmailed. 

Using technology as their biggest asset, orders are sent in the form of text messages and projected warnings against the walls. 

One thing is very clear: This was all planned.

What is this, exactly? It’s a game. A game that has no real winners.

Staff and students alike are separated into four different groups, in four different locations on campus. Each group is locked in, with no obvious way out. Nobody is aware of what exactly is going on--meaning, those in one group will not know what is happening outside of the room. 

They won’t know what’s happening to the people they care about.

The pawns are both in groups and out of groups! If your character is a pawn of E’s, then you will know it. In addition to several in game characters being pawns, please keep in mind that there are also multiple NPC pawns and minions (people who are willingly helping E) who are making this possible. 

In-game, this event is going to only be lasting one hour. Meaning, authorities will be intervening eventually. Please stay in contact with us admins if you want your character to be injured severely. Not every character is allowed to have life threatening injuries, as we’d like to keep the physical damage minimal and focus more on the mental aspect of the games.

If you have a skype and have not yet been added by either of the admins, please make sure to contact us to let us know! We will be using skype as the main form of communication during this event.

Since this part of the event is being posted a bit late, and we are trying to get a move on things in game, us admins are going to do something a bit different: we would like every member to submit a brief explanation, description detailing how their character responds to the situation in their group.

Group number: Task: How they respond:

While we encourage you all to post self paras/threads of the actual groups, we are eager to move on with the event/storyline of the roleplay. That being said, after you submit your group explanation to the main, please don’t hesitate to actually write out the event in forms of self paras/threads. For all group interactions, please tag your posts with ‘ffpgroups’ so we can all follow along!

A completed event update will be posted on the main once we receive responses from each member of each group. The primary reason that we are doing the event in this format is because we understand that not everybody is available to write out a full blown thread at the moment, given that real life tends to get in the way. 

‘Would you rather whip Laurent three times, or carve the word ‘bitch’ into Braelynn’s back? Your thirty seconds starts now.'

Waking up at a table was the last thing he’d expected. How it happened, he was completely unsure. One minute, he was with Kace and the next... nothing. He ruled out the chance of having been drugged, seeing as he didn’t touch any of the food or beverages earlier in the night and whatever snacks and drinks he consumed were completely organic and couldn’t have been tampered with in any way. The sound of his buzzing phone earned a look of confusion from Oliver, a series of questions rising and settling on the tip of his tongue. Why was it that their phones were still on them? Why didn’t they think a simple call to the police could deteriorate this whole situation?

His conscience spoke to him before he so foolishly opened his mouth. It’s too easy. 

Reading the text out loud, his eyes widened. Laurent or Braelynn. It was an easy choice but he didn’t want to hurt anyone in general. Oliver’s mind started working, finding a loophole that guaranteed he didn’t break the rules. He was going to whip Laurent simply because he couldn’t bring himself to hurt his kind-of-boyfriend-but-not-boyfriend’s sister which left him with the former choice, but he wasn’t going to whip him hard enough to cause vast pain or break skin. He was told to whip him, but there was no specific explanation in how to do so.

Hey guys! So there’s been a little bit of confusion with the event lately, but just to clarify things, this is how we’d like you guys to do the event! 

Group One: Would You Rather.

Location: Funhouse

Much like the childhood game, except this one is deadly.

The selfless are paired with the selfish in a game of survival. Each player wakes up sitting around the ‘dining table’, which is located at the center of the fun house. The mirrors and obstacles have all been set aside, and in their place are a handful of menacing set ups.

A large metal bathtub. An electroshock machine. On the dining table, where the food would be, is an assortment of weapons: a long whip, three ice picks, a knife, and a gun.

A loud siren wakes the players up. Standing in the four corners of the room are multiple people, the only one of which are recognizable is Anastasia @anastasialeoss, with her batgirl attire still betraying her identity, though the mask on her face is still as threatening as the others. Suddenly, every phone in the room goes off--dinging, buzzing with notifications. There is the same text from an unknown number:

Play along and nobody gets hurt. If you don’t follow the rules, you don’t make it out alive. Think before you act.

The victims players in the group are: Jonah Breckner, Isaac Clayton, Aliyah Watson, Yu Jeong, Raina Smith, Braelynn West, Oliver Lahey, Elle Murray, Quinn Dawberry, Whitney Castle, Eddie Castle, and Laurent Vasiliyev.

Quinn @quinn-dawberry​ is the first to receive an individual message, with strict instructions at the top to read it out loud. All of it. ‘Because you are so good at directing the lives of others, Quinn, you will be responsible to keep players in check. Failure to do so will result in a bullet to the head. Each of you at the table is considered a player in the game. If you follow the rules, you have a chance at winning. If you do not, the masked figures in the room are under orders to finish you off. I trust you will choose wisely. As you all receive a text message, you are required to read it out loud to the rest of the group, and then to make your choice. You will have thirty seconds to choose. If you do not make a choice in time, the helpers will make it for you.’

Before the game begins, one last text is sent to Quinn. ‘With all the blood on your hands, Laurent @laurent-vasiliyev, it was only a matter of time before your blood was on the hands of others.’

The first is a text to Braelynn West @@westboundbraelynn​ ‘Would you rather whip Laurent three times or shock yourself for fifteen seconds? Your thirty seconds starts now.’

Oliver Lahey @oliverlalalahey receives the second text. ‘Would you rather whip Laurent three times, or carve the word ‘bitch’ into Braelynn’s back? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Quinn Dawberry @quinn-dawberry  ‘Would you rather light your entire arm on fire or whip Laurent three times? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Elle Murray @ellexmurray ‘Would you rather whip Laurent or shock yourself on high power? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Yu Jeong @1andonly-yujeong ‘Would you rather light yourself on fire or stab Elle in the thigh with an ice pick? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Jonah Breckner @nahbreckner ‘Would you rather be shocked on full power or shock Isaac? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Isaac Clayton @isaacxclayton ‘Would you rather let Eddie hold you under water for sixty seconds, or electroshock Aliyah on full power? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Aliyah Watson @ily-aliyah ‘Would you rather drown Whitney for ninety seconds or shock yourself on full power for fifteen seconds? Your thirty seconds starts now.’ 

Laurent Vasiliyev @laurent-vasiliyev ‘Would you rather take six more whippings, or shoot Raina in the foot? Your thirty seconds starts now.’

Eddie Castle @jk-eddie  ‘Would you rather whip Laurent three more times or stab Whitney? Your thirty seconds starts now.’

Raina Smith @rae-s-ofsun ‘Would you rather shock Braelynn on high power for thirty seconds or shock Jonah on high power for thirty seconds? Your thirty seconds starts now.’
