SHARPER || Chishiya Alice in Boarderland

-6- Old friends

YOU CAN ROAM FREELY UNTIL ITS TIME TO ENTER YOUR CELL.

A timer on the monitor counts down from one hour, and the people here all stare confused at the others.

"Is this for real?" An elderly man asks just as another turns to him.

"I'm sorry," he mumbles out, "would you mind telling me what my symbol is? Then I can tell you yours."

This is kinda stupid... something is bound to happen...

Just as the other guy is about to tell him his symbol, I hear the same dark voice like in the Rules game.

"In this game, over twenty people need to kill each other until we figure out who the jack of hearts is, am I right?" Yabba states and turns to them with a raised eyebrow, "Are you sure everyone is trustworthy?"

There it is.

The both men separate from each other, looking distrustful and I smirk lowly. Yabba is already playing the game.

"Do you want to go downstairs?" Another asks two players and they leave, probably to tell each other their symbols.

I guess it's time for me to find a group I should take part in. I don't think it's smart to go to either Chishiya or Yabba. We need to keep our eyes open, and spot the Jack of hearts. It won't be easy, thats for sure.

The hunky man in the middle scoffs loudly as he scans the room and moves in on a scared looking guy that's standing next to banda.

"So..." I hear the girl in the blue dress drag out, "I'm Urumi. How about we get together and make teams to tell each other our symbol? That way, no one can lie?"

It's sickening how 'cute' she acts. She's definitely up to something. A short glance at Chishiya tells me, he thinks the exact same, so I smile to myself and lower my head a bit.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." A woman in a yellow shirt tells Urumi, "Would you mind if I joined up with you?"

"Me too?" Another woman asks, making Urumi smile falsely while pressing her hands in a praying motion tightly together. A very old man runs up to them as well.

"Me too! I'd like to join as well. Can I be apart of your group?"

Urumi smiles even wider and twirls a bit in her dress, "Yes of course! The more the merrier!" She chuckles out, and another person enters her group as well.

Meanwhile, the hunky man towers over the scared one, "Tell me my symbol." He threatingly orders, "Tell me my symbol now."

"I–I can—, I—" the scared guy stutters out, making the hunky one aggravated. I spot Banda walking down the stairs, and the familiar looking shy guy following suit.

I glance back at Chishiya, he raises his brow and smirks slightly, before turning back to the guy in the yellow striped shirt. They talk a bit, and I follow Banda downstairs.

I quickly meet Yabbas eyes, and he carefully raises his hand to his temple, acting as if he's scratching it, but upon closer inspection he taps it. Why does he tap it?
His focus turns back to a woman, who looks like a secretary, acting as if this little exchange hasn't happened. I walk down the stairs slowly, and follow Banda to the lower level of the prison, wondering what this was about.

The shy guy walk up to him, a little to confident for his act, "Seems like you don't have a partner yet. If you tell me mine I'll tell you yours."

"Show me yours and I'll show you mine." I call out jokingly to them, "Can I join you? You seem like decent players."
