"Congratulations! You have been selected to be 1 of 10 to come to the Willowhood Mansion on Friday, January 13, 2017. When you arrive, you will be given a pseudonym based on your current occupation. I hope to see you there." Greta pondered over the letter that had brought her to this wretched place. She looked around, taking in her surroundings. She looked at her peers. She knew none of them prior to this event, but now she has to work together with them in order to get out alive.

-The Day Before-

Greta had just finished getting dressed. She had put on a red dress for this occasion. She grabbed her car keys on the way out of her house. Then pulled out of her driveway and began traveling to her destination.

"You have arrived" The GPS spoke. Greta stopped and sized up to the mansion that rested on a hill. She shrugged and began to drive up the lengthy driveway.

She reached the top of the hill and there ended up being several parking spots, around 10 or so. She pulled into a spot and shifted her car into park. Before she exited her vehicle, she reached to the other side of the car and picked a piece of paper from the floor. She reread the letter that she had been sent.

After turning off the car and exiting the vehicle, Greta inhaled. The air smelled good. She walked over to the mansion and rang the doorbell. It echoed throughout the house. A minute had passed and still no answer. She cracked open the door.

"Helloooooo?" Her hello echoed throughout the house just like the doorbell. She was going to go sit in her car until someone else appeared, however, something inside caught her eye. She noticed a sign that read "Welcome! Please pick up the name tag with the occupation corresponding to you." Greta pushed the door open and walked to the table with the name tags.

"Bartender, Youtuber, Nurse, Plumber, Musician, Cosmetologist, Psychologist, Pharmacist, Artist, and Hacker." Greta mumbled to herself as she read them. Suddenly, the girl behind her. A man holding a camera, recording himself, entered the building, followed by a guy similar to the first.

"And now we're inside the creepy house!" The dude with the camera said into the camera.

"Uh... Who are you talking to?" Greta asked.

"Shhhhh! He's vlogging and he shan't be interrupted." The second dude said.

"Smile for the camera!" The camera dude walked over to Greta and put his arm around her. Greta noticed herself on the screen.

"Uh let's not do that." She shoved the dude away.

"Woah there, feisty." The dude said.

"My name is not feisty. My name is Greta" Greta stopped herself. "I'm the nurse." She walked over to the table and picked up the sticker labeled nurse. She unstuck it and attached it to her dress.

"Sup. I'm a youtuber named Ash." The dude said. "This here is Paul."

"Hey, I'm the video editor." Paul said. He followed Ash to pick up his sticker. Ash grabbed the name tag with the appropriate occupation and stuck it on.

"Wait, there's none labeled Video Editor or Editor." The youtuber's partner said.

"Looks like you don't get one." Greta said.

"Darn." Paul said as the door flew open once more.

"Hello! I'm the psychologist named Kat!" A girl said as she walked into the mansion.

"And I'm a cosmetologist." The girl behind Kat. "My name is Kiana.

"So how are we all today? Should we discuss our feelings?" Kat said.
