"Fuck—"

"That's not what I had expected."

"Okay, that's fair."

The four of them were taken by surprise.
Tsuki frowned at the new empty room.
Lights flickered on and the room lit up, confirming what they were seeing.

"Someone's playing games with us..." the other girl said slowly.

"Literally," the blonde boy walked up to a door, "This is a puzzle!"

"Wait, can you see through the door?" the girl asked as she hurried up to the boy.

"Yeah, there's another room."

"We're never getting out of here..."
Behind Tsuki the black haired boy sat sulking.

Tsuki slowly turned around.
"So what's your deal? You're all sad..."
Indeed, a blue glow came from the person's chest, though instead of a comforting one, this one was dark and just... depressing.

"What?" The boy looked up, "I'm not all sad..."

"You're moping though," the girl teased from where she stood at the door.

"Let's just focus on the puzzle," the blonde haired boy said.

"Okay, what's your name?" the girl said.

"Hm?"

"The puzzle," the girl pointed to a point at the wall, "It's with letters, right?"

The black haired kid looked over. "Oh god, that's so... stupid."

"Stupid?" Tsuki glanced over, "What?"

"They want us to learn each other's names... this feels like a very forced kindergarten game," the other boy observed.

"Well you all know my name," Tsuki walked up to the door and excitedly found the number pad, "Where's the T?"

The blonde haired kid showed Tsuki how to turn letters into numbers and everyone typed in their names.

"So..." Tsuki looked around and mentioned everyone's names. The blonde was called Gyro, or that was his first name, the girl was Chu Konchu, but she liked papillon which apparently was a translation or something of her last name... Tsuki didn't know how she was going to remember all this, but the last one, the depressed kid was Arawaru.

"C'mon," Gyro said as they found a new puzzle in the next room. The four stood around an empty table.

"It's round," Tsuki noticed.

"Yep," Arawaru awkwardly put his hand on it, "It's round..."

"No, it's not just a random comment," Tsuki rolled her eyes, "There's this story, I don't know if it's a known one, but with a round table as well."

"You mean the one with the knights?" Arawaru wondered, "Everyone knows that story."

"Oh," Tsuki smiled, "Then this one is easy, everyone should stand in a corner and press a button at the same time, see?"

Papillon frowned, "I... how is that supposed to be a full explanation?"

"I don't know, my social skills are quite lacking," Tsuki said with a sheepish smile.

Everyone did as Tsuki said and pressed a button which appeared once everyone stood in a corner.

"Alright!" Tsuki cheered as she jumped to the door which opened with a click, "Kindergarten must have been so fun if this is what you did all day!"

"You're enjoying this?" Papillon scrunched up her nose, "Weirdo."

The four walked through the door, finding another room, this one wasn't as empty as the others.

There was a large screen.

"So er..." Gyro looked up with two wide eyes, "Can I turn it on?"

"Who's stopping you?" Papillon hurt shrugged.

Gyro excitedly turned it on and looked at the large screen. Tsuki wondered who on earth put it here, in the reach of them. It seemed stupid since the four of them would escape soon anyway.

"It took you guys thirty minutes, I suppose that isn't half bad."

Tsuki recognised the voice. The screen flickered on and they found someone holding a bunch of papers. He had shoulder length black hair and was wearing a white scarf.

"You're the blue guy!" Tsuki pointed with a frown, "Aren't you a hero? Why are we here?"

"You know him?" Arawaru wondered.

"He's a hero?" Gyro flinched away from the screen, a bit more alerted.

"He's not blue... he's wearing all black..." Papillon tilted her head, wondered just what people she was standing in a locked up room with.

"I'm Aizawa, I've been ordered to introduce you to the new..." Tsuki heard a soft click coming from a spot on the wall.

Slowly she inched back, then her back hit the wall.
The hero on the screen paused, glancing to the side. He blinked as though he dared Tsuki to do it.

She leaned back and the wall opened, showing a door.

"Ah crap," Aizawa said lamely, "They found the exit."

Laughter sounded on the background, but Tsuki didn't want to stop to wonder who was holding her hostage.

She turned and hurried away, the other three following with concerned looks on their faces. What was going on? Why were they here? Should they even run?

Tsuki didn't care about any of these questions. She had played their games, she had succeeded in them and now it was time for her to dip.

She found herself running through a hallway. It ended into a T-split, one side going to a staircase, and the other end holding a bunch of windows.

Tsuki didn't care what floor they were on.
She bolted for the windows.

"Don't kill yourself!" Gyro grabbed Tsuki's arm, "There's stairs this way!"

"We're on the eight floor," Papillon nodded, "It'll hurt. A lot."

Tsuki considered, but not a moment to long. She ran after the other three, hoping they wouldn't be killing her by stopping her from potentially killing herself.

They ran down the stairs all the way down.
Tsuki found the kids in front of her stopping. She nearly bumped into Arawaru and looked up.

"I am here!"

"ALL MIGHT!?" Gyro stepped back, horrified.

"What the fuck...!" Papillon breathed.

"Haha," Tsuki said dryly with a confused frown, "What's going on?"

Arawaru just looked up with a small desperate smile. "Hey guys," he said jokingly, "I gotta say, I told you so; we're never getting out of here."
