𝗧he Elevator Doors opened, and Axel and Oliver stepped out.
It was just like any other Apartment building, you could see the stone deck that was stopping people from slipping off infront of them, and the doors that were each side.
So, from my surroundings... I think I can figure that we have to find a specific room and that's how we pass this stage?
Axel nodded, as he grabbed Oliver by the arm and told him to follow as they both roamed around the Apartment Floors a bit.
"The Tagger is now on the move! The game shall now begin, twenty minutes remain!" Reven said, through the local radio aerials that were surrounding the Apartment building.
Axel nodded, as he walked around more, with Oliver behind as they both occasionally turned behind their backs.
They tried opening the doors on the bottom floor first, but it didn't work, as they all seemed to be locked.
Damn, this shit is harder than I thought.
And then they heard a man screaming below as a flamethrower sound could be heard.

Harry Mazioto, or known as Ghost, walked out of the Elevator as he was now on the Top Floor, going to the right side of the building as he turned to the right, watching everyone from above.
"If anything, this is the best location," he said to himself, chuckling as he leant forward, putting his arms on the balcony as he watched the others roam around.
He caught sight of Axel and Oliver, as they seemed to be opening every door they could find, Ghost made a comment saying, "Looks like they found the clue," and then he sighed. "but it looks like everyone's going to die like usual."
Ghost kept watching the others as he heard a man screaming below, along with the sound of a flamethrower, making another comment like, "People dying already? Wooow."
He looked around, catching sight of Nolan and Ray, as his mood seemed to enlighten (in a sarcastic way of course) as he waved at them, but the man ignored him as he kept looking for the clue.
"What? So rude." he said to himself again.
And then a voice can be heard from the Radio Aerial, saying something along the lines of; "Seventeen minutes remain!"
Ghost chuckled.

Cloud Jones-Batson, or CJ, was running up the steps, as a sound of fire could be heard chasing her, along with a cloaked man slowly walking up the stairs, wearing a boar mask as CJ ran into the Hallway.
CJ caught sight of a woman, as she screamed, "RUN! IT'S COMING!"
The Woman looked confused. "What's coming?"
"THERE'S NO TIME!" CJ shouted, as she was running towards the Woman, as the Boar Man made his way into the Hallway and started to walk towards the Two Girls.
"Come on! We've got to go!"
The Woman didn't seem to listen, as the Boar Man was now beside them, aiming its flamethrower at the Two Girls.
"I'm sorry," CJ muttered, as she climbed onto the deck and grabbed onto the pipe, climbing up the next floor as she acted like nothing happened.
And then the woman screamed, much to CJ's guilt.

Axel and Oliver kept searching, as thirteen minutes were now remaining, but they didn't seem to find the right door.
Axel sticked his head out and yelled, "EVERYONE! OPEN EVERY DOOR YOU SEE! I THINK THAT'S THE CLUE!"
Axel started running, which bewildered Oliver as he swung as fast as he could, catching up to Axel as they made their way to the stairs, only to be stopped by Nolan and Ray.
"You guys found the clue?" Nolan asked.
Axel and Oliver exchanged looks, "Uh, yeah, we have to find the right door."
"Hmph, okay," Nolan said, turning to Ray. "Should be easy, we only got eleven minutes - so lets make this quick."
CJ climbed up, meeting the men as she blurted out, "I'll roam the bottom floors."
Axel turned to her, "Oh - uh, okay." as CJ jumped back down, with Axel and Oliver going up the stairs.
"Nah-uh," Nolan said, grabbing Oliver. "Cripple, you're coming with us."
Oliver's eyes widened, "Uh, why?"
Nolan looked at his legs, which looked kind of weird, "I wanna see if you can be useful," then he turned to Axel. "You - go upstairs."
Axel nodded, before he looked at Oliver, and ran up the steps.

The Three Boys made their way down the stairs, Nolan was infront as the others were behind him, before he turned back to the others and said, "Ray, you distract him."
Ray nodded, Nolan and Oliver hid behind the wall as Ray shouted towards the Boar Man, which caught his attention quick.
"Yeah, i'm here, come get me!"
The Boar Man slowly walked towards Ray, and as he got closer, Ray started to stumble as he stepped back a little.
"Nolan... anytime now.."
The Man got closer and closer.
"...Nolan?"
He cocked the Flamethrower and aimed it at Ray.
"NOOOOLLAAAANNN!!!"
And then he screamed as he got burnt into a crisp.
