Snake Charmer 6

Time is Gold

Sykkuno opened his eyes to see that there was a radio in front of him. It was sitting by the table, so he grabbed it.

28.4

[Hello, Hello? Radio check?] It took a minute before someone responded to his radio.

[Hello?] Sykkuno's eyes lit up upon recognizing the voice that replied to him.

[Toast!] Sykkuno immediately became aware of the situation he was in. He was alone in a room that was filled with ladders and one random diving tank. [Where are you guys? I'm in a room filled with ladders and one diving tank.]

[I'm in a room with no doors, one window, and I see sharks swimming outside. Do not touch that diving tank.] Toast warned him. [Can you describe the room you're in?]

[Same as yours basically. Just with different kinds of ladders and the diving tank.] Sykkuno answered. [This must be one of those escape room challenges. Mickey's been talking about it all week.] He was silently thanking Mickey's loose lips.

[Well, I don't see a way for me to get out since this room is plastered with multiple numbers.] Toast replied.

[Can you memorize them?] Sykkuno asked, thinking that the numbers may be a code that would help them in the future.

[No shot.] Toast looked at the numbers and shuddered. [There must be at least 500 of them, but I can tell that the person who made this room must have OCD. The numbers are so evenly placed it's scaring me.] Sykkuno laughed at Toast's comment.

[There's 4 people on this channel.] Sykkuno pointed out, while Toast raised his eyebrow. [On the top right there's a person icon that says 4 beside it. Do you think it might be Rae and Corpse?] His question was soon answered.

[Guys, Guys? Where are you?!] Corpse was breathing heavily on the phone. His voice echoed inside his empty room.

[Hi, Corpse! Good morning!] Sykkuno said with a smile hoping it'll distract and calm down Corpse.

[Good morning, Corpse. You and Rae sure took your time sleeping.] Toast's comment fully distracted Corpse. [Wearing a mask, but still went down first. I did better and I wasn't even wearing one!] This comment made Corpse upset.

[How was I supposed to know what that smoke was! By the time I realized I already inhaled more than you guys did! The mask filters stuff, but it does not make me immune! If I knew I would've brought a gas mask!] He thanked Toast in his head for calming him down before he had a panic attack.

[What are you guys yelling for?] Rae asked groggily. [I can hear Corpse over my wall. What's going on?] She immediately snapped back into reality. [Where are you guys!?] Rae's voice spiked in panic.

"Oh my god..." Toast muttered. There's a reason why they always go in pairs. This was one of them.

[Rae, Rae! You're awake!] Toast silently thanked Sykkuno for saving their ass. [We're in a game, Rae! An escape room! Didn't you say you wanted to try one back in the mall?]

Rae laughed, completely distracted. [Syk, that was a year ago!] She was impressed with how far his memory can reach.

[Well, you also remembered.] Sykkuno pouted, feeling a bit embarrassed that he remembers every little detail about her. [Anyway, we're getting side tracked.] He coughed. [What does your surroundings look like?] He asked them gently.
