A new arrival came to the Manor; Of course they were the main talk. You couldn't blame them though, it's been a long time since a new folk joined this 'game'; from what you heard , it was a guy called Edgar, and his occupation was painter. There were questions raised as: his reason to come to the Manor, his age, skills ...the list goes on. Although most answers were just guessing since Edgar refused to cooperate or converse with others. 'Not a fan of talking I guess' you thought to yourself. From what you heard , when he first came he immediately went to his room; So you didn't have a chance to meet him.
You decided to head to bed as your thoughts trailed off.
You didn't have a match tomorrow morning so you decided to sleep in a bit..
You felt something drooling over you with continuous , loud panting. You opened your eyes to face an excited Wick,, with a letter in his paw. You sat up and instinctively patted wick before taking the letter. Wick wagged his tail.
It was probably from Victor. It read:
'Let's meet at the dinner table.'
You sighed then took a deep breath, proceeding to get ready for the meeting. When you went to the designated area you found people aside from Victor waiting for you. Tracy and Luca. As soon as you made eye contact with Tracy, she jumped from her seat then embraced you in a hug. "Y/N!" She swung her legs excitedly as she strangled you in a hug, "hey y/n.." Luca would shyly wave while Victor apologetically waved.
When things settled down, Tracy cleared her throat then began to speak beamingly "We're going in a match together !! Isn't that amazing??" She faced your way, you couldn't help but return the smile. "OKAY!" Tracy clapped her hands together "Since we're going on a match together at night, I thought about preparing , even for a little bit! To fill you in y/n , we agreed on decoding the closest cipher we find so Victor would certainly send a letter to us; although, we would prioritise Luca since he could decode two ciphers at once ,, anndd.. yeah that's about it!"
You had your jaws open; this was the first time Tracy spoke so strategically about something, let alone a match ,, she didn't stutter. You were really proud of her. "Soo..What do you think?" Tracy stared at you blankly "it's amazing Tracy, I'm so proud of you!!" You gave her a genuine smile but then fake sobbed "sniff...they grow up so fast...my Tracy can speak in full and coherent sentences..." "Hey!!" She playfully nudged you.
Suddenly, she would start pondering."We are missing someone though ..." she tapped her chin , squinting her eyes. "That would be Edgar," Luca bluntly answered. "Oh!" Tracy would comically jump then turn towards Victor "Victor you gave him the letter right?" She tilted her head. Victor flinched then nodded nervously. "Do you think he might be tired?" Tracy exchanged glances with the others cluelessly " Well yeah...I believe he had a match this morning so..." Luca would scratch the back of his head awkwardly. That's when everyone's faces were hit with realization. "You should've said sooner!!" Tracy stood from the table then jokingly snapped at Luca, Luca, in return , flinched. "N-nobody asked!!" The conversation went back and forth between Tracy and Luca for a bit. All you did was stand there in confusion along with Victor, staring awkwardly . Tracy finally sat down "Man...although I hope Edgar is okay...I can't imagine having two matches on your first day." She sat staring at the ceiling, everyone didn't know what to say,, but they agreed silently.
The match began and everyone- Well, Almost everyone- went to the closest cipher and started decoding ; just as planned. This whole match you hadn't seen Edgar to the point you wondered if he even joined the match. He should though ,, or else he would be punished,, and nobody wants punishment..on your first day too..
You finished decoding the cipher you were set on then decided to head to the church. Soon enough, you heard footsteps approaching closing in. It was ..."Painter..!?" You accidentally blurted it out. He kneeled beside a pallette. That's where you noticed that he got injured. You instinctively rolled your sleeves then, without a word, started healing him. It was silent for the most part ,, although you were healing his wound ,, you couldn't help but catch a few glances of him...'so this is Edgar huh...he's so....' Thinking of the word you couldn't help but blush 'pretty....' ,, you don't know if you said that out loud or not,, but you had hoped that he didn't notice nor hear. Thankfully, It seemed that way. Finally, you were done. That's when you suddenly heard a voice "thank you.." wait- that's. his. voice!?!? "What?" "You-" interrupted, ''You shut your mouth as you heard more aggressive steps approaching. You were pushed to the other side ,, you were shocked, Edgar was staring at you , seemingly annoyed. He quietly got up , then began dashing the opposite direction of the church, alerting the hunter. You stood there silently for a few seconds, before you finally snapped back to reality. You dashed to the cipher in the church. Once you were done decoding , sirens played, Declaring that the escape switch was available.
Everyone escaped smoothly in the end.
