Warning: Blood and implied gore (meaning no gore is shown, but described) and human agony (I'm not entirely sure if I ever triggered anyone with human agony yet, but I have a feeling it will occur here, assuming you're like me who has tons of empathy).

No featured comment today, sorry.

One more thing, for future reference, if Rose's words appear to be misspelled, that's intentional because the British have words spelled differently. For example: color is spelled colour in Britain. Traveled is spelled travelled in Britain as well, and many more words with the same pronunciation but with additional letters. 

3rd Person P.O.V.

Samuel and Volleyball were taken from the Palace while White Diamond and Spinel were fighting Solomon Grundy. Rose simultaneously had taken Samuel, Volleyball, Yellow and Blue Diamond from the Palace with teleportation magic and paired them together in separate rooms. 

"Where are we?!" Samuel asks in the dark. "What's going on?"

Volleyball uses her gem as a flashlight to provide sufficient illumination for the room. "I have no idea, but it smells in here."

Then the lights were activated, creating a loud thud sound as they illuminated the room within seconds, like a spotlight lighting a stage. Both of them saw dried blood on the floor, and a rusty mechanical suit in the corner of the room. There's no door to this room, indicating that there is either no way out, or the exit is subtly hidden.

They saw the British flower through a glass window that magically appeared on the wall.

"Sorry about the rather sudden attendance, I was busy with something." Rose grins as she presses her face against the impregnable glass. "I may be powerful, but I'm only one flower, and I can't be in two places at once."

"Why are we here?" Volleyball asks, feeling nervous that Rose is behind secured glass and they aren't. 

"To play a game." Rose cheerfully answered.

"Okay, Jigsaw." Samuel references. 

"We're playing a balance game, but with some extra incentive." Rose points at the rusted suit. "It's also an odd game of Red Light Green Light, only you're wearing the red light."

"What does that mean?" Samuel asks, bewildered at the flower's words. 

"Oh, you need an example? Sure thing! I love rewatching the video when I'm feeling down." Rose grins and the window morphs into a screen, showing them a recorded video.

The video shows a person wearing the same suit that they saw in this room, but it looks cleaner and the suit covers the person from head to toe. The person inside the suit  sounds like a woman, possibly in her mid twenties, and she sounds scared. 

"Go on, move." They heard Rose's voice from behind the camera. 

"I-It hurts!"  The woman exclaims quietly.

"Clock's ticking!" Rose cruelly said.

The woman took a panicked step forward, and then some loud snap and crunch was heard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The woman screams, leaning back and her head staring at the ceiling, subsequently creating more snaps and crunches to be heard.
