Chapter 5:

The group continues to walk through the green colored land until stumbling upon a location. With buildings towering above them, multiple cars on the road, shops littered around, with them right next to a tall clock tower. Over in their left is a big sign with artwork of the city they're in, with the words "Tilted Towers! Capital city of the Imagined Order!"

"Capital of the imagined order... Interesting." Said Catalyst reacting to the situation.

"Let's try searching out for any info on the bunkers then." Drift replying to Catalyst's comment .

"Bunkers?" Brite questioned.

Catalyst starts to give more exposition to Brite, "To give a bit of more context on what our goal is, the bunkers by the imagined order might be key to us making our way out of here. There were some rumors only seven people ever won the game with that strategy, but I mean... Rumors are rumors I guess..."

"So we're cheating our way out?"

Drift joins in the talking with a comment, "Well if it's cheating, then we would've already been actually executed by them."

"So it is possible to actually die in this game?" Brite responded.

"Like I said. Who knows."

Raven then taps on Drift's shoulder pointing towards a white painted building with a taco shop underneath the apartments. Alongside Raven doing another sign with her arms.

"You want to loot there?"

Raven replied by nodding her head up and down multiple times with a bigger mouth expression.

"Okay then. Cat? You're willing to go with her?"

"Do you mind if I go with Brite?"

"Why not, try to be nice to her k?"

"Okie"

The four split off to two, with Brite and Catalyst walking together. Down from the sidewalk, to the alleyways, with a few light up signs indicating street food vendors, and other small shops. But all of them empty, giving an eerie feeling like if all of society disappeared randomly. Catalyst then decides to break the awkward silence by apologizing how she acted when they met back at the Durr Burger.

"Sorry."

"What?" Said Brite

"Sorry for acting rude when we met."

"It's fine. I mean understandably, I overheard you arguing with Drift about... Your friend."

"Still, I should've not acted so aggressive towards a new friend."

"Oh! So I'm considered a friend?" Brite responding with a surprised tone and expression.

"To be fair, if someone didn't fight us instantly and tag along our journey, then it seems to make sense when considering them an ally."

Brite then started to fade from her optimistic expression to then started talk about her spying on them before. "Since you're apologizing, I'll apologize now by saying sorry for kind of stalking you guys..."

Catalyst then stopped walking with Brite Bomber stopping as well.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I mean it's a common strategy to steal other people's strategies."

"No not that! Just kind of. Staring at your group back at the hangar a match before you met me."

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing to be sorry about."

"What am I doing. We should be looting around! Sorry if I kind of wasted your time..."

"It's fine, sometimes it's good to have a personal moment. Sooooo, where do you wanna loot first?"
