I awoke on a cold steel bed in a jail cell. I had no memory of how -or when- I got here. Sitting up from the plate of metal, I looked around. Everything, even the steel-plated iron door, was locked and shut tight. Where was I? The only thing I had memory of was my name and a few other things. Standing up, I grabbed my sunglasses, I always had them on after all. "So....where am I.....?" I said, talking to myself. "I don't know." Said a voice from the cell next to me. Other people were here with me?! Though I had mixed emotions about the fact, I replied. "Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?" I heard a slight grunt come from the stranger as he said, "I'm Jordan, you are?" "I'm Ian. I'm glad someone else is here besides me." Though I was unable to see the face of the person I was talking to, I felt a cloud of relief shroud over me. "Yeah, same. I think there's others besides us too, but I don't know." He said back to me. I sat back down on the metal bed and sighed.

"Guess we'll have to wait, what for I don't know. But I guess we wait." I said, half talking to myself, half talking to Jordan. "Guess so." He said in a somewhat mutter-like tone. I sat there, waiting and hoping that something would happen. And something did.

About ten minutes after sitting there in silence, the doors suddenly burst open to my surprise. I stood up, something drawing me to leave the cell. I walked down the stairs, looking around and seeing eleven others besides Jordan and I. Who were these people? I looked around some more, walking to where everyone else stood in a group at the middle of the large room. There were thirteen cells in all, 'mine' being on the top block. "Ahem." Came a strange voice from out of nowhere. "Can you all please turn your attention to the large screen in front of you?" Everyone did as we were instructed and a silhouette of a man appeared on the screen. "I'm the one who brought you all here, you guys can call me.....Nomis I guess. Anywh-"

Suddenly, a fish-like creature in a suit interrupted Nomis "What do you mean you brought us here?! Why us?!" "Hm....I guess I should explain. Well, I brought you here for a fun little game. The reason it was you thirteen is because you all have special talents. For example, Ian is the Ultimate Baker and Jerome is the Ultimate Woodcutter. That's all. Now, allow me to explain the rules!" We all turned and looks around at one another in confusion. "To win this game, you must kill one of your peers without getting caught!" We all were wide eyed. "K-Kill?!" Said a watermelon man with 3-D Glasses."Yep, you heard me. Kill. Anyways, stop interrupting. Food will be restocked in the cafeteria everyday and that room will serve as a meeting room for any clues you find in a murder case. If a murder is committed and somebody finds the body, we will hold an announcement and you all will have 5 minutes to gather clues and evidence. Then, we will hold a trial for the case and if you guys guess the murderer right, he dies and you all get to continue. But if you guess wrong then you all get executed and the murderer goes home free!" "What?!" A guy in a suit with a yellow tie and shades said in shock, we were all most likely thinking the same thing. "Yep! Now, if you don't kill anyone, you all get to live your entire lives in here forever!" Nomis said, vanishing out of nowhere. "W-we wouldn't actually kill each other for freedom, would we?" Said a furry in a suit. Everyone murmured amongst themselves until I broke it.

"We should....probably introduce ourselves. I'm Ian, Ultimate Baker." I said to start the introductions.

A man wearing an amulet stepped forwards. "I'm Adam, Ultimate Parodist." Then, another guy in a checkered jacket stepped forward. "I'm Mitch, Ultimate Archer." He said with a smile as the furry stepped forward too.

"Jerome, U-Ultimate Woodcutter....." Then, the fish-like creature stepped forward.

"Sup! I'm Quentin, Ultimate Fisher." He said with a slight smile.

Next, a boy in a t-shirt and headphones stepped up. "I'm Ty! Ultimate Perfectionist Gamer!"

Next stepped forward a boy in a space suit. "Name's Jason, Ultimate Astronomer!" After Jason, stepped forward Jordan. "I'm Jordan, Ultimate....." He then cut himself off, nobody questioned it as the next stepped up, the watermelon man.

"I'm Bashur, you guys can call me Bash, Ultimate Gardner!"

After Bash stepped forward a man with blonde hair. "I'm Brice, Ultimate Artist."

After Brice stepped forward a boy in a purple cloak with brown hair. "I am Seto, Ultimate Chemist." He said as the next boy stepped up. "I'm Martin, Ultimate Explosives Expert." He said in a Bulgarian accent.

Next, and lastly, was a boy with wide-framed glasses. "I'm Tyler, Ultimate Performer."

I heard Quentin chuckle. "No, not that kind of performer...." Tyler said with an unamused glance. Quentin stopped chuckling as Nomis' voice came back. "Lights out time! Everyone return to their cells and hope you survive the night!" He said with a chuckle. Everyone exchanged a last look around and returned to their cells for the night, I could tell we all hoped we survived the first night as we returned to our cells.
