Kingdom Of Idleness
Chapter Two:

I pulled out one of those cube things from my bag and quickly ate it. It had a dry taste but for some odd reason it seemed to fill me up quickly. We only had seven cubes to begin with since we woke up here. So that means we're on a constant ticking clock towards our death if we fail to eat these cubes...

I shook away the thought of all of us dying and walked towards my door. I opened it only to see Ally standing in front of my door.

"H-Huh Ally?" I asked in surprise and shock. What was she doing in front of my door? Did she need something?

"Ah! Hello Pho~" Ally said looking straight into my eyes.

"P-Pho?" I asked confused. Why did she call me that? Ally giggled at my question.

"It's a nickname! You do know what they are... Right?" Ally asked tilting her head. What was Ally really here for?

"O-Of course I know what they are, anyway, why are you at my door?" I asked getting straight to the point.

"Oh! That's right! Since Pookie doesn't want to leave his room how about you come with me to look around~" Ally asked. She just wanted me to look around? That seems a bit suspicious... But it can't hurt... Right?

"U-Uh sure?" I spoke seemingly unsure of my own answer.

"Yay! Let's go~!" Ally said and grabbed my arm dragging me out of my room with force. What is she doing!?

"H-Huh!?" I yelled surprised by Ally's actions.

"Hm? What's wrong? I thought you agreed to come with me?" Ally spoke trying to act innocent. I swear she knows exactly what she's doing... There's nothing I can even do...

"Gah, N-Nevermind..." I gave in to the defeat. Well Ally dragged me throughout the hallway and we got strange looks from Nate and Angel around the place. But while we were looking around we discovered a recreation room and an art room. Clearly Noitan knows how to keep us entertained around this prison. After a little while of aimlessly running around Ally stops.

"Hm?" I asked curiously.

"This place is just oh so boring! I mean that stupid bear only gave us two rooms to use, two!" Ally yelled complaining. I sighed.

"C-Can I just go now...?" I asked done with today's events.

"Sure Pho~" Ally said smiling. I walked away from Ally. Something is telling me to stay away from her.  I was attempting to walk back to my room until I heard Noitan make an announcement.

<<IT iS nOw 1:30 pm! TiMe foR eVerYoNe to sElecT parTnerS foR thEir sEcreT mEetiNgs!>>

I sighed to myself and walked into my room. Nothing seemed out of place but the monitor in my room had been turned on. I walked over to the monitor and decided to inspect it. I noticed that the monitor had displaced several options and a sentence.

<<Who do you select for a secret meeting?>>

<<Angel Kiyo>>
<<Jill Yoshida>>
<<Nate Konda>>
<<Ally Ida>>
<<Alex Fuji>>

I stared at the monitor for a moment. Whoever I pick right here I will have to spend 30 minutes alone with. I should use this time to try and figure out everyone's roles... But who should I pick? I would need to pick someone who I can trust... Or someone I can easily manipulate... So Ally and Angel are off the list. So that leaves me with Jill, Alex and Nate to choose from. I haven't gotten much time to interact with Alex so I'm not sure how he is.
