I wander down the longer of the two corridors so I can see where the tagged appear. I get to the side and look to see who was located where. Once five minutes had passed the tagger was released and I look over the edge to try and find them. It takes me a moment but I do notice a floor below if a person holding a gun with a horse mask covering their face. Well at least their vision will be limited so we players have a chance. I watch as they wander down the corridor gun pointed in front as they start searching for people to kill.

I find that even though I see the threat only a floor beneath me I still feel incredibly bored. I ponder my choices before jumping up a little still holding onto the top of the wall as I balance on the wall as I feel a smile grow on my lips. I want to at least see if this tagger has any fighting skills so I can asses if the game will become entertaining or not. I wait a moment until the tagger goes out of my line of sight as they're now directly below me.

I wait until I hear light footsteps before jumping out and swinging down a floor while kicking my legs out in front to hit the tagger. With the momentum I gained from dropping down a floor I swing quickly into the tagger as I feel a large grin on my face. Oh man I've waited to fight someone for so long. The tagger can't react in time as they're sent back a little but regains their posture quickly. Oh my god an actual fighter. This will be fun after all. I duck under their arm which raises the gun towards me as I quickly look over what they have.

A gun, a sword and a knife. I try to grab the sword but the tagger jumps back out of reach. I stay low and ready to move out of the way as they start to aim at me. I'm one quick motion I pull my white shirt off my shoulders and throw it up into the air which covers the tagger's line of sight as I charge at them still an excited grin on my face. I get close enough but they step back a little to try and see me again as the sword goes out of reach again so I just grab the knife before jumping up onto the wall again.

They seem to be aware of where I am as they quickly turn while firing the gun so I drop down to the floor below to avoid the bullet. I grab the wall below before pulling myself up as I see bullets fly down past the spot I was just hanging in. I land on the floor and turn the knife in my hand to examine it. It's really nice actually. Bette than the ones at the beach. Much sharper. I look up and see on the staircase ahead the blonde guy from registration followed by the dark messy haired boy.

The blonde is talking quite loudly as he looks over and quickly notices the knife in my hand. I raise my hand to my lips to tell them to be quiet before raising the same hand to point at the ceiling of this floor. He catches on the the signals and whispers something to the messy boy next to him. They glance up the staircase as I jog over and start heading down a floor to make sure I had some distance from the tagger.

"I wouldn't bother looking it'll shot your brains out" I say as the messy haired boy looks a little frightened and cautious of me as I make sure I have a friendly smile on my face. I hear some bullets getting fired from above as I quickly descend down the stairs and peer around the corner of the next floor. Once I'm sure it's clear I start sprinting down the hall to get to the other set of stairs so I could get back to the top floor to look around again.

"Shouldn't you check the doors" a voice calls out from behind as I see the messy hair boy stare down with a questioning look on his face. "I've got better things to do with my time" I say and smile back as he hurries down the stairs away from the gunshots above. I get to the end of the hall as I glance back and see the horse mask appear at the other side as I have that same grin on my face. They don't follow me instead they carry on down the stairs probably finding easier targets.

I start climbing back up the stairs as I make sure to be careful in case there are other taggers. I get back to the top floor as I look down the short hall to see Chishiya leaning comfortably on the wall in front as he watches the floors below. He hasn't noticed me yet or he has but isn't paying me any attention. As he stands there watching the game a thought from earlier crosses my mind as I find myself needing to get an answer. "Honey Honey, how he thrills me, a-ha. Honey honey, nearly kills me, a-ha" I sing to the blond as his eyes flick over to me unamused by my amazing sign and dance.
