Escape the Night

~ The Boardgame ~

After settling in, the group came to get to know each other, Rose has met everyone, except for one girl, who she kind of recognises. The two other boys though, are Lucas, he's a ginger with really dark blue eyes. He wears black thick glasses and wears his hair messy. He wears a gray hoodie and regular jeans and shoes. The other boy is Roan, who's wearing a doctor's outfit. She suddenly remembers something on the invitation, everyone here has a character to roleplay as to make the challenges and riddles more interesting. So Rose decides to walk over to Lucas and ask him what brings him here. She sees Lucas is reading a book, she hesitates to approach him to not disrupt his peace but does it anyways. "Hey, what brings you to this ship?" She asks. Lucas looks up from his book. "Oh, uh... My dad sent me out here, to socialize with people more.." He said. "He made me go alone in the hope of me getting it on my own, but I'm really trying to avoid it... You?" He finally makes eye contact with her. "I uh..." She's thinking of something for her character. "I just came back from war, you see, flying a plane is already a hard job but it's worse when you got do to it under fire. I'm just lucky I even get to fly in a war." She says. Lucas nods.

Across from the room, Meghan, Esmay, and the final girls, Julia and Rhea. "So what's your name?" Meghan asks. "I'm Julia." She responds. "So, since you're the waitress..." She says to Meghan. "Can I have a free drink? It's my birthday." Meghan looks up. "Oh well sure, madam, can I see your ID?" Meghan laughs. So does Rhea. "Nope, it's not really her birthday but free drinks are always nice." She'd say. Esmay disrupts their conversation. "Should we gather the whole group? Play the boardgame over there?" As she said that, Jeremiah steps in with an announcement.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" He says, again opening his arms as a welcoming gesture. "You see, the boardgame on this table right?" He points at the boardgame, everyone nods. "This has been prepared for all of you to play together, with the riddles and challenges." He'd say. "Can we all gather please?" Everybody does as he says and they gather around the boardgame. Looking around the room, Roan notices a bunch of coffins. "Why does this ship need coffins?" He asks. Leon steps in with a response, and a smile on his face. "To be fair," He'd say. "In the past, most ships had coffins on them just in case one of the crew members suddenly died." He steps back. "So who wants to roll the dice first?" Julia asks. Suddenly realising Rose is here too, she looks at Rose and smiles at her. Rose smiles back. "Let's go with who is the youngest." Rose suggested. "I'm probably the youngest." Roi raises his hand. "Thats true, we discussed age already." Roan said. Roi stepped forward and grabbed the dice. He throws them, and gets a 7. "Uhh, now what? There are no figures, what am I supposed to go with?" He'd ask. "There was nothing else in the box though..." Espen states.

"You kids have literally no idea what you just released..." Jeremiah would say. Outside, hard blowing wind was heard messing with the sails. Some people were startled, but nobody actually made noise, so they could hear the storm. They could then hear and feel the ship tremble as 'something...' caused the waves around the boat to slam against it.
