Escape rooms..[Applyfic] [CLOSED]

~•¤Chapter 1¤•~

A group of teens wake up, not knowing how or where they were where they were. As their eyes adjust to the dim lights around the room, they see red marks all over the walls.

There's also some broken furniture, screws lying around, a huge speaker above them, and an almost broken chandelier.

"Geez! Whoever lives here left it a wreck!" says Ozzy as he looks at the dirty stuffing coming out from one of the couches.

"You're telling me; this looks like somebody's torture room or basement-" says Psycho but he gets abruptly interrupted by a cackling voice.

"Oh, it's no basement or torture room.." the voice says. This voice rings throughout Cherry and Psycho's head..PC..they were back.

"Oh..it's you..." Psycho mumbles as he walks over and leans against a wall, crossing his arms.

"It is merely an abandoned escape room! Kids love escape rooms, right?" PC says. "Right, but I expected this to be more...colorful and inviting!" says Momo as they point to the dull blood-stained walls.

PC chuckles. "Well, it was abandoned and I don't do magic..so deal with it." they say in a sassy tone.

"What are we even here for?" asks Michou as he glares at the speaker. "You're here to play some minigames!" exclaims PC.

"Ugh, MORE minigames? Haven't we been through hell enough?" groans Psycho as he sits down. "Well apparently not.." mumbles Lyricist.

"Well, why not? And besides, there will be a small twist.." says PC. Everyone looks to one another, slightly confused.

"So...nobody's gonna die?" asks Cherry. "No, there will be death," says PC; which sends shivers down everyone's spines.

"Okay...so what's the twist?" asks Seb. A door opens and the groups walks into the next room.

When inside, they see broken chains everywhere, blood splattered on the walls and floor, and a small lock on the next door.

"These won't be like the minigames you played at the mansion..well, most of them. Most will be simple strategy or teamwork games." explains PC.

"Oh, thank the heaven-" says Char. "However," PC continues "There will be some games where it'll involve..losses." they say.

As everyone is listening to the info, they go towards the lock and see a small note on it. Psycho takes it and hands it to Ozzy to read.

》The first number will be the number of the month one of you were born in

》The second number will be the number of illegal things you may have done

》The third number will be a number between 1-99

》And the final number will be last letter of your name and its place in the alphabet

"Oh, this looks easy enough!" says Ozzy as he drops the note, which fades away.

"Well, if you think it'll be easy..you'll be timed. You get one hour to solve the riddle or you all get punished." says PC.

Everyone looks at the speaker, obviously nervous about what this 'punishment' is.

"Well? Why don't you begin!"

As the crew is figuring out the code, the clock is ticking, and it's ticking fast. Suddenly, Ozzy perks his head up and rushes to the keypad and puts in the letters.

First letter: H

Second letter: E

Third letter: L

Fourth letter: P

Everyone was confused. What was the last letter? Psycho looks over to the others, who look deep in thought. He goes to the keypad and type in the letter P and they hear a small click.

As they enter the next room, they see half the floor is gone. Below them is bright neon green acid. It was bubbling and stirring, leaving a terrible feeling in Cherry's gut.

They all started to look around for stuff they could use to cross the big hole. All they found was a 10 meter long wooden board, some rusty screws, broken hangers, some tape, and a crowbar.

"Same rules apply! Solve this in an hour or less or you get punished!"

After securing the board on both ends and making sure it was sturdy, the group was ready to cross.

As they walk across the board, they try to think positive. About halfway through, Cherry hears a sound like something coming loose and falling.

She looks back to see the screws becoming loose and the board starts to break, which she turns to the others and screams "RUN!"

As the group starts running, Michou sees that Cherry is standing there, scared to death.

He rushes back and grabs her hand and rushes her to the other side of the plank. When the group got to the other side, they were all gasping heavily and holding each other close.

PC comes on the speaker again and laughs. "Oh, you should have seen your faces! Priceless!" they wheeze.

"Excuse me? WHAT?!" exclaims Momo as he gets up and glares at the speaker. Aria gets up and tries to calm him down, which fortunately worked. Everyone left the room and went to the other room...it was a padded room.

It had padded walls everywhere and there some small cots. While it looked uncomfy, it was all they had, so they all settled down.

Later that night, Psycho gets up and creeps around Cherry and Ozzy to get to his bag. What was he getting? He was getting his medication to calm himself down.

He creeps around the others to the bathroom, where he shakily opens the bottle and downs two small capsules. He then cups his hands under the sink water and downs that.

As he's about to leave, he sees Jamie standing there, sleepily staring at him concerned.

"What are you doing?" they ask. Psycho quickly shoves the pills into his jacket pocket and sighs, forcing a sad smile.

"Nothing, just...thirsty." he lies, which made his guilt go through the roof. He hated lying to his friends about his health, but he didn't want them panicking more than they already had.

Jamie looked at him with suspicion, but nods and walks off. Psycho sighs and walks back to his cot, stuffing the pills into his bag and lying down, crying softly.

One, how was the chapter? Good? Bad? Meh?

Two, any advice your character would give to Psycho? (Remember he has hysteria)
