"All according to plan.."

While they were asleep, the exits were all boarded up. After a few minutes, they've finally gained consciousness.

"Gah.. what the hell just happened..?" Nine groaned. "Someone... thought it was a good idea to set up some sleeping gas." Six glanced at Eight who was peacefully waiting for the others to wake up. "Cmere, I'll help you up.." Six reached her hand out to him. "Thanks Six.." Nine grabbed their hand and stood up.

"*Yawn* Hey Detective... don't you think that this whole thing is just a scam? I mean, why did sleeping gas suddenly appear when Eight spun the roulette wheel?" said Seven. Which obviously made Five furious and quickly stood up. "HEY EIGHT! Is this some sort of joke?! Explain what this is all about, NOW!" Five shouted at him.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you anything else about the 'event'. That's umm... pretty much it!" Eight nervously chuckled. "Alright, if we aren't actually doing this even why don't we just leave? Cmon Nine.. we're leaving!" Six grabbed Nine's arm and dragged him to the exit.

"B-But Six!-" Nine wanted to tell Six something, but was cut off by them saying. "NO BUTS! We're leaving and that's final." Six kept dragging them along. "Uhh Six? You can't leave, the doors are all boarded up." Four told them.

Then Six stopped and lets go of Nine's arm. "They're all WHAT!?" She panicked. "This is a total nightmare.." said Two. "Woah, this got even more intriguing!" One giggled. (why tf did I cringe when typing that lmfao-)

"Oh, I wasn't expecting this to happen... I thought this would be a harmless little game!" Ten sighed. But noticed Three's scared expression. "Three? Are you alright there?" He asked them, but no response.

"He's gonna kill us all... He's gonna kill us all...He's gonna kill us all...He's gonna kill us all..." Three thought to themself, but soon snapped out of it once he heard something coming from the speakers.

"Good Evening! And welcome to our little game!" said a mysterious figure coming from a little TV screen, you can only see his green eyes.. nothing else. Everyone was startled by it, well.. almost everyone. "How great, first we got hit by sleeping gas. And now we have an invisible host for this game." said Five.

"Bloody hell!- Who are you?!" Two looked at the little screen in front of them. "Silly you! I can't tell you who I am... yet. But again, welcome to our little game! Where the stakes are-"

"Yeah uh, Eight pretty much explained it already so no need to remind us again." Ten yawned. "Oh! I guess I could tell you the name of our game..." said the unknown integer (or algebralien?) as he cleared his throat.

"Welcome to Deadly Roulette! This is a simple little survival game.." They said. "So, what you're saying is that... our lives are at stake..?" said X. (poor little cutie 😣😣‼️‼️)

"Umm... DUHH!!" When they said that, everyone screamed. (imagine the bfdi scream alr 💀) "One of you here is a killer, watch out... they might strike an attack anytime sooner! I need you all to figure out who the killer is before they manage to wipe everyone out. Meaning, you guys will be staying here for a few weeks or so... Have fun!!"

The TV turned off once the mysterious figure finished talking. "This is not what I've signed up for... I thought this we were here to lose chips! Not lose our lives!" Nine said nervously as Six patted his back, trying to comfort him.

"Everyone, please... no need to panic! It's only the first day. There's no way that the killer would instantly kill any of us right now." said Eight.

One POV:
I looked at his expression, he had a really calm demeanour. Unlike the others... "Could he be planning something?" I thought to myself. As I looked at the others, the red number seems pretty nervous about something.

They kept glancing at someone, and was shaking in fear. Do they know anything about the killer? Wow, I'm starting to love this event!

"The unknown figure's voice sounded quite familiar... they kinda sounded like that skin eater from that one case I solved a few months ago..." said Five. "No need to think about that Detective Five! Right now, our lives are currently at stake. So we need to keep an eye on that crazy killer.." Six was pretty much fangirling over them.

"Hey! You aren't the detective's assistant!" Seven grumbled. "Shut up Seven." Six replied, which made him highly offended. "Seven, write down the names of all the people here."

"Yes ma'am!" Seven brought out a notepad and pen. "Alright. If we wanna figure out who the culprit is... I'll focus on all of you guys... every single bit of your actions. We'll star by gathering some information, if one of us dies... I'll cross their name out on this notepad. Got it?" Five asked them.

Everyone else nodded in agreement. "So uh, what know? Do we just, wait until someone else dies?" Three scoffed. "Of course not! How about we try forming some alliances?" Six suggested. "We can't really trust anyone here when one of us is a killer 'upside down blue airpod'..." said Two.

"Maybe let's try to get some sleep first and talk about it in the morning? It's getting late after all." said X. "X's right, let's try and rest for a while before gathering information." Four patted X's head.

"Sounds good to me!" said Nine, still a bit scared about what the host said earlier. "WHAT!? Rest? In a place like this? How are we supposed to rest knowing that one of us might not wake up tomorrow?!" Five shouted.

As soon as Seven finished writing the names, he approached Five. "Chill out detective.. how about we all split into pairs and investigate some parts of the casino tomorrow?" Seven patted their shoulder.

"Well, I guess you're right.. alright everyone. Take a little rest, I'll be on night duty.." Five crossed their shoulders. "Umm detective? It isn't really safe to.. y'know. Go on patrol at this time.." Six told her.

"Don't worry... I'll be fine. You guys go ahead and sleep, that includes you.. Seven." said Five. "Yes ma'am.." Seven sighed.

. .. --. .... - POV:
How foolish, well... this might actually take a while. I guess I could try and "blend in" before I'm able to strike an attack on one of them.
