Escape the Night

~ Phantoms of the Sunken Ship ~

Once everyone had arrived at the top, Meghan was amazed by the view she got. "Wow, this place is huge!" She said. "This is almost twice as big as our own ship!" Her jaw dropped. Rhea looked around. "I think it would be the right decision to spread out to other areas to see what we can find." She says. On the moment Rhea spoke her words, people went seperate directions to explore.

Rose, Espen and Meghan went to the lower deck. "Okay guys," Rose said. "Spread out to see what we can find." She turned around and bowed herself over a pile of boxes to look around. Meghan started looking with her. "Let's g-" "I found a suspicious book..." Espen interrupted. "Should we try to open it?" It was a blue thick book, probably about 900 pages and it had the front of a monkey skull glued onto the cover. "Sure I guess..." Meghan said. Meghan and Rose both came to the table to see what Espen found. The moment he grabbed the book, the skull emmitted a white light straight into his eyes. "Ow!" He yelled. "My eyes!" He dropped the book on the floor and covered his eyes. But his hands were pulled back by chains which started wrapping around his body and eventually lock themselves up. The moment he opened his eyes he saw the same happening to Meghan and Rose. The air started smelling like rotten flesh and a pirate appeared in the middle of the room. He appeared green-ish and was most definitely seethrough. He then spoke. "Don't bother folks, you'll be safe here with me until the day the sun dies." He smirked at them. "The fuck are you?" Rose asked. "Well," it started. "I used to be one of the swashbuckling buccaneers who sailed on this fine beauty." He closed his eyes and smiled, while Espen, Rose and Meghan just looked at eachother in confusion. "But I don't think of it as a former pirates home." He laughed. "No, no." He stopped laughing and looked Meghan deep in the eyes. "It used to be a cargo ship before my captain and fellow crew members took it over." He said. Meghan swallowed in fear. "O- oh, wow..." She said.

Back on the upper deck, where Roi, Rhea and Julia stayed, they also got chained up. The deck was empty apart from a tennis table and a tennis set on it in the middle of the deck. "Does anyone else think the tennis set is involved?" Roi asked. "It has to be." Rhea answered. "Take notes, there's also a key." Julia gestured to a key laying on the tennis table. "Must be for the chains." Rhea responded. "I'd like to be free now." She is still trying to get herself out of these chains. "I think we would all like to be free..." Roi said softly. "Let's figure out how we are even going to reach that." He said. "Ah!" Julia said. "Look what I have!" She managed to free her arm and touch a vase standing next to her. She reached her hand inside. "What are you doing?" Rhea asked. "I can't get my hand to the bottom." Julia complains. "I don't think I'd be able to either..." Roi said. "There's something in it though," Julia says. "I can feel it." She kicks the vase over and it breaks. Roi's eyes widen. "What are yo-" "This works all the time." Julia says content. "The fuck?" Rhea asked. Julia laughed. "I've been in many escape rooms, and this is a foolproof way to escape." She picked up one of the shards. "If you break enough stuff, they'll open the door and kick you out!" She smiles and searches through the shards.

Meanwhile in the basement of the ship, Leon, Esmay and Roan are stuck to spinning wheels, chained up. "Jesus christ, why are we spinning? Is the sky falling?" Roan asks. "Are you actually that st-" Leon was about to ask, but stopped. "You know what, I'm not even gonna bother asking that simple question." He said. "Okay, um, what do we need to do?" Esmay asks. They try to make eye contact but their heads keep turning away from eachother. Every time they speak the wheels turn a little faster. "Lets try and figure out a way to escape?" Roan said. "That seems obvious, but I can't focus while I'm spinning!" Leon complains. "I feel like I'm gonna puke..." Esmay says, her face turning red. She does it. "Great." Leon says. Esmay vomits, then cracking sounds can be heard. "What is that?" Roan asks. Esmay pointed at electricity cables. "First of all," she said. "What the fuck are these doing here?!" She raises an eyebrow. "Second of all, I vomited right on them!" She got a smile on her face when the wheels stopped spinning.
