White Rabbit | Alice In Borderland

c h a p t e r e l e v e n

It's been a few days and i haven't heard from any of the executives - minding Chishiya

Kuina and him haven't mentioned the conversation of me 'pursuing' the man since so life has been pretty plain - though I do have to go to another game tonight

I sit at the bar sipping a sprite while looking over the recklessness of the room, I had just ignored groping from a man whose only motive to stop was being told games are starting and he had to leave

the corner fucks, the obnoxious music, the ugly dancing not to mention the crying. It was all so alluring to me how people could forget how to be people in desperate times

"Akira hatter is starting to announce the cars for the games" A little messenger tells me before presumably going off to inform others

I hop off my stool and make my way inside to see hatter assigning different numbers to different players

His eyes lighten as he spots me quickly making his way to me, "Akira! look your playing with some executives and militants again cause we're taking you somewhere afterwards" He nods looking at me with a raised eyebrow

I furrow my eyebrows confused but accept what he said

"Great car 7 - they're waiting for you" He winks before heading to other players

Once I leave the building I see a purple convertible and spit my gum out replacing it as I see the inhabitants of the vehicle

"we don't have all night" Niragi sighs seeing me unwrap the next piece to go in my mouth

"sorry to slow your roll then" I widen my eyes sarcastically

"leave her" I hear Chishiyas voice ring from the front, I shrug knowing he doesn't actually care about me he just wants an excuse to shut Niragi up

"Can we just go?" The next voice surprises me

"Kuina?" I ask ducking my head to her

"in the flesh" she laughs as the car starts, maybe this game won't be that bad after all

when the car starts i notice Ann has been sitting quietly in the corner observing

"that building?" Kuina points to an average lit up business building

"It's a therapy building - that raises its odds of a heart game"

"then let's go play with some hearts" Chishiya reply pulling into the parking lot

Upon entering the building the same monotone game voice rings

'Registration closed, game beginning with 46 players
difficulty 6 of diamonds'

'pair into groups of 8, to join a group connect hands in a circle'

I look at the executives and Kuina to see them reluctantly joining hands, Kuina, Chishiya, Last boss, Ann and Aguni circled up

Not realising I had zoned out I sensed back in to see a gap between Kuina and last boss open presumably for me though a high school girl filled it in and that cued me to go next to them holding the high school girl with a white shirts hand and last bosses

I looked to the other players and see everyone paired in teams of 8 except a frazzled group of 5 who still have their hands joined in hope and a middle aged man begging someone to leave their group for him

'time up'

the group of five gasp as a lasers drives through their skull aswell as the begger

my attention on the bodies breaks when a red light shines above our group, 'group a, make your way to floor 7 corridor 3C' the voice directs
