_Helena's POV_
I mess around with the red ace on my fuzzy jacket, it looks as it won't come off of it. Though I wish it was the green club, that one looks like a clover! The guests are all confused or look like they're scared, which I can understand. I try to look around to see if anyone else has the same clover patch thing. Seems as if the groups were already forming and getting together. But I'll wait...I'd rather wait.
I sat down at the end of the stairs tapping my foot anxiously. It started to get quiet, probably since the people barely knew each other so they didn't know what to say. The group I'm supposed to go to was right in front of me, I bit my lip thinking I'd have to join soon enough. One of the members look back at me, I slightly waved back at her. She waved back and noticed my patch, she smiled and went up to me. The girl sat next to me, "You're in our group right", "Yep." "Why don't you come with me?" She got and held her hand to get me up, I took it and got up. "Well I just get anxious in groups", I responded, "I'll change that. My name's Smokey." "I'm Helena." Smokey dragged me over to a group of six people, most of them were quiet except for two which they looked as if they knew eachother. "Hey guys here's another person!" Smokey introduced me to them.
"I'm Fluffy!" the girl with some cat ears exclaimed.
"My name is Scape", she wore a giraffe shirt.
"Well obviously I'm Jill!", the girl with short red hair said sarcasticly.
"Hi, I'm Kat!", the one with a flower crown smiled at me.
"M-my name's Max...or Kate..whichever," she looked slightly down fiddling with her short black hair.
"And I guess I'm Kit." The short one replied messing with her hands."So what do we do right now" I asked, they started to look at each other before the host yelled from the top floor. The ground floor went silent as they all looked at them, "Now, follow me one group at a time, the ones with blue diamonds first", we went over and they greeted us. "Welcome, follow me over here please ladies."
We all followed the host to what seemed to be another room. They left us there and said, "Stay here! The game will begin soon", we sat down in the room. It was eerily lit and with not much furniture. Jill, Kate, Smokey, and I sat on a couch while Scape, Kit, Kat, and Fluffy sat on the ground in front of us. "So how's this game gonna work out?" Jill asked, "I'm not sure", I responded. Personally I don't work that well with people, more or less people that could possible betray me and "kill" me. I understand that it's play and all but the idea still makes my heart skip a beat every time I think of it. I leaned on the arm of the couch and spaced out, trying not to think that much.
_Jill's POV_
Silence filled the room for awhile making it....slightly awkward. I bit my lip and tapped my toe on the ground. "So", I said breaking the ice, "This room's nice."
"Guess you can say it's the room where it happens", I started smirking, most of them laughed while some smiled. "Looks like my job here is done." A loud whistle sounded, god was it ear-piercing. We held our ears out of pure pain, I kept my eyes open out of all of us. A painting, now door I guess, opened exposing a long hallway with velvet carpets. It looked like a true horror movie hallway, a voive boomed from no-where. I saw Kat gripping Fluffy's shirt while she held her hand.
"Now. Let the game of Suspicion and Paranoia ensue. Welcome to my
Mystery House."
