3RD POV

Skizz didnt have the best first session of the new season of the life games, Limited Life. You see, the watchers re-introduced the Boogyman to this season, which wouldnt be too bad if it was like Last Life, but, they also got rid of the lives system and instead gave them each a clock which counted down from 24hours. And normally dying would lose you 1 hour while killing would give you 30 minutes, however if you got killed by the boogyman you would loose 2 hours, while the boogyman would gain an hour.

And while noramlly the begining of a life game is quite calm and there should be one boogyman per session, this time wasn't quite the case. You see Scott, the first boogyman, killed only a few minutes after the boogyman got rolled. And so he was going to kill the first person he saw, and that happened to be Skizz. But being killed by the boogyman once isn't too bad and Skizz just brushed it off.

The watchers however weren't happy that the threat of the boogyman was over so soon so they rerolled the curse. This time Skizz was close to spawn and was with Cleo, Scar and Bdubs, And Bdubs so happened to get the curse and within seconds Skizz was dead again. And once again the watchers rolled the curse again. Martyn. It landed on Martyn. Luckly Martyn didnt kill Skizz but it did scare Skizz to think that someone would kill him again.

So after the 3 hours of the session, the watchers paused the clocks, giving the players time to recover and gather a few materials like any other season of these games. And most of the members the game were roughly down to 21 hours, the boogymen were down to roughly 22 hours, and Skizz. Well he was down to 19 hours. Which while he was still green he could be yellow in only one more session.

So now we follow the ravenette as he makes his way to the place where him and his 3 teammates had set up. Passing over the rock with Cleo. Scar and Bdubs (also known as the Clockers or the Family) were setting up he could see the small strech of land his teammates had made home. After wading is way through a small river mouth he made it to his base. A narrow dirt staircase, made by Etho, lead down to their base. Walking down he could hear the conversation of his team. Skizz took a deep breath as he opened the oddly placed oak doors and climbed down the small ladder.

Warm light flooded the singular room they called home from afew lanterns that was placed on tables or blocks. Plain white beds were placed in a corner and a oak table and chairs sat in the center of the room. On 3 of the 4 seats sat his teammates, Tango, Etho and Impulse.  Tango and Impulse were talking about some of the events that had happened in the session while Etho was sitting quietly in his chair,listening to the conversation at hand while also looking at Skizz as he walked in.

Etho looked at Skizz then at the empty seat that sat opposite him, silently offering Skizz a seat. The raventette nodded and took a seat as Tango and Impulse notice him. 

Tango, a firey blaze hybrid, who when he experianced strong emotions his blonde hair would set on fire. He wore a red top and a black biker jacket with red trousers and grey shoes. His eyes glowed a ruby red.

Etho was a white haired canadian who wore a black top covered by a sand green jacket and black trousers and shoes. He also wore a black mask over his face, only leaving his heterchromic eyes visable one black and one red. Over his red eye was a scar.

Impulse, a brunette american, who wore a black t-shirt with a yellow 'i' imprinted on the front, brown cargo short and black sneakers.

Skizz gave the three a smile as he sat down. Tango and Impulse gave a smile back then when back to their converstaion, Etho however kept watch his friends as Skizz stayed quiet throughtout the conversations of the evening, which was very unlike the ravenette. 

After a few more minutes of Skizz's silence, and Tango and Impulse caught on. They both turned their head to look at Skizz, who barely noticed his friends looking at him and their talking finished. An uncomfortable silence flooded the room between the men, as the three of them took glances at each other. Impulse was the first to speak up. "Skizz? Skizz you good?" 

The ravenette in question looked up at the question directed at him. "Yeah im fine DippleDot" "You sure, your overly quiet." Tango pitched in. "Yes, im sure." Skizz replyed, his eyes looking at the table, refusing to look at his friends.

You see, in the small time frame of Tango and Impulse's coversation Skizz had looked at his small clock and the time etched into it by the hands of said clock. Which soon started the memories of the day to flood back in. Including the appologies of the boogymen. Scott had killed him first, which isn't bad or anything, and he doesn't blame him or bdubs but, why Bdubs had killed him again when he had just lost 2 hours is a mystery. And that 2 hours became  4

But the small clock that had started his spiral of thoughts only minutes before was still sat in skizz's hands as his fingers traced over the small gaget. The three men around Skizz share a look before Tango picks the small clock out his hands. Skizz looks up and Impulse speaks "No, your not getting the clock back till next session. Its clear its causing you be upset about your time so no." Skizz looks to Etho for his input, the canadian just nods and Skizz give a defeated sigh. Tango smiles, "So now we all agree, no clocks till next session. Hand them over." Tango holds his hand out for the other two's clocks, both of which hand them to Tango. The blonde then goes to a random chest and puts the three clock plus his own inside.

When the blonde turns around he looks at the confused Skizz and smile, "no there is no difference between the four of us. because without the clocks, we all have the same time." This draws a smile out of Skizz. And Impulse gives a small chuckle, "See you better already, now, who up for a game night." Skizz's smile turns into a small grin at the metion of games night.

Tango nods and goes to get some of ther games. Etho just sighs as Tango comes back with the games and Skizz and Impulse debate over what game, and although no one could see his face, the was a content smile hidden behind the fabric of his mask.

And thats how Team TIES spent their first night in the new season of the life games.
