Escape the Night

~ A Real Life Whodunnit ~

"The ship is fucked guys!" Roi would yell, as he pointed at a crack in the walls of the ship, water was already running in. "Shit!" Esmay screamed. "Do we cover it up?" She said, with more control and less voice crack. "No shit sherlock!" Leon said jokingly. He stood up, but right before he did, the crack became wide enough to shoot water inside with as much force as a garden hose. Leon stepped back, the ship stopped rumbling. "Quick everyone!" Julia said. "Get up! We can still somehow save this boat from sinking!" She assured all the people on the floor of the ship, waiting for whatever they were waiting for. Their demise? No, it's their duty here to save themselves. "Umm, guys?" Lucas said, and stood up, and became red as he did. "What?" Espen asked. "Maybe we should split up and look for hammers, nails and planks?" Lucas suggested. Roi looked up. "Hell no. It's never a good idea to split u-" He was stopped by Meghan. "You're right, Luc, we need to split up to find the materials faster."

Rose, Julia, Roan, Leon and Meghan split away from the rest and went looking in a storage area for the needed materials. "What exactly are we looking for?" Julia asked for confirmation. "I don't know," Roan said. "I'm a doctor, I fix people, not ships." He said. Leon, Julia and Rose were already digging. "Hey, why aren't you helping?" Roan asked Meghan. "I've got just as much clue here as you got, none." She'd respond. "You're kinda slacking to be honest." Roan would confess, and he started looking for materials too. "Oh, and you aren't?" Meghan became red and a little bit filled with anger. "Who do you think you are anyway?" She'd ask. "Important." He said, making Meghan even more mad. "Excuse me? There's no way you are more important than any of us here!" She yelled. Leon stopped searching and got Meghan and Roan apart. "Meg, you might wanna calm down a bit?" Leon said. Meghan sighs, "You're right, there's no use in fighting." Roan, who is still looking for materials, nods in agreement.

Roi, Lucas, Espen, Esmay and Rhea decided to search through the stocking boxes on the deck, and once up, they realised there isn't even a storm. "I wonder what they meant by released... Like released what?" Espen would say to Roi. "I think this just might be one of the riddles." Roi answered. "You won't believe how got they are with tricks nowadays, this could all be fake, and part of the board game." He said. Espen nodded, as it seemed like a logical explanation.

Rose looked up at the squad with her. "I managed to find some nails and a hammer," she showed them the stuff. "It was under that coffin." She patted the coffin. "Good job!" Meghan said. "But the nails are all over the floor..." Rose continued. "Such a shame." Roan said, "I hope it wasn't you who threw the nails across the floor, Rose." He said, jokingly. "I did not do that!" She responded. Meghan looked at the nails, scattered around. "Look, I would pick up the nails but I don't want to break my nails-." "At least the nails on the floor look better than yours." She was stopped by Roan, quietly, but just insulting her loud enough for her to hear. "Oh boy..." Leon palmed his hand in his face. "You're a waitress, right?" Roan asked. Meghan nodded. "Shouldn't you be serving us?" He said. "Really, Meghan." Rose also palmed her hand in her face. "No offense, but you're not doing your job properly!" He continued. "My job?" Meghan scoffed. "I think we're all trying to fix this here!" She turned around, so she didn't have to look at Roan. "Well, what do you expect from me?" Roan said. "Okay, Roan," Rose started. "I think you owe Meg an apology." She said. Meghan nodded. "Look, I'm just stressed okay? I thought we were just here for party games, not a real life whodunnit!" She said, less stressed and ready to look back at them. "I think we're all stressed!!!" Roan yelled, and he ran off back to the lounge. "Not cool, dude." Leon said to the running Roan. They followed them, except Rose and Julia. "Hi, I didn't expect you to do something with the letter I sent you." Rose said. "Well, I'll be happy to join you." Julia responded. "We can get through the hell-hole you described together." She continued. They gave eachother a hug. "Let's head back there and check how severe the damage is." Rose suggested, and Julia nodded in agreement.
