HAPPY 100th oneshot everyone!!
———————
Virgil sanders cannot remember how he woke up here, the room was large and resembled a pipe room, as the pipes were golden in rust and the air was warm and clammy.
He slowly sat up, letting his eyes wander around the room letting his mind deduct around the room.
Air is clammy and temperature at 12c caused by the pipes and the loose steaming air. Pipes meaning that we are in the bottom of a building.
He looked and notice the ceiling which was long and high, indicating how tall this building may be. There was no windows making the only light off the small lamps around the room. He winced slightly as he whipped his head too quickly at a cough.
Suddenly like a switch, bright lights came flickering on, revealing more people were in the room besides Virgil. They were all standing in a circle wearing different articles of clothing.
One was wearing police uniform. (To Virgil he could see the bulletproof vest under) and two a man and a woman were wearing the standard police uniform as well, however their feet were chained together.
A man stood, sniffing into a hankycheif. He was wearing the basic wolly clothing stereotypical to elderly people Besides him stood a flamboyant man with wavy brown hair wearing a leather jacket with a black cropped top and black ripped trousers
He skimmed his eyes away from them to notice a short man with a concern face staring right at him. He was wearing a white long hospital jacket with black trousers and boots. He looked at his own clothing, blue shirt with thin dress trousers and shoes.
Clearly expensive, he deducted and noticed the long blue coat with a blue scarf wrapped around his neck.
Suddenly a man wearing a crisp suit stepped into play, standing on top of a banister, clearly his throat. Virgil looked up and gasped. There stood his long time rival, twirling his umbrella around his hands humming a small tune. Benjamin..
Everyone turned to the noise, staring at the man. "Welcome all! I'm ever so happy you'll all decided to wake up." So that meant that Virgil wasn't the only one sleeping? (Knocked out?)
The man In wool sobbed loudly and the flamboyant man came to her comfort. Benjamin didn't pay attention to them seeming to stare right into Virgil with a wicked wide smile.
"Welcome to the mind games! You all have been chosen to take part in the games due to you're professions or skills," so the clothing did mean something, he looked at the short man in the Doctor uniform again, he looked unfazed as he stared upwards.
"Everyone has been given a title and a skill!" His smile grew wider. "It's up to you if you are wanting to share this information with the others." Virgil looked down to his hand which a bold BRAIN had been branded on his palm and he burrowed his eyebrows. That does explain the ability of deduction. He looked at the soldier who was looking down at his wrist with acutely expression.
"Excuse me! Can I ask what exactly does all this mean?" A voice called up and the doctor stepped into view to the others, Benjamin smile grew wider. The man tone was calm and collected, no traces of panic was at play.
"Yes you may, The mind game is a game where people are collected from all types of backgrounds and are assigned parts of the body due to the skills or personality traits you held."
"However the mind isn't a ordinary game, this is a game of survival, which part of the body can survive and last the longest!" That came out as a chirped smirk and Sherlock looked up in shock. Survival game..
"And whoever last the longest is free from this place!"
"So does that mean..?" The doctor trailed off and Benjamin nodded. "You are correct doctor, this means you all have to kill each other."
Like a glass smashing, Virgil felt his body grow cold and tense as he stepped back. Killing.. each other?
"B-but that's against the law! We'll be
in jail." One of the chained up twins, the man cried and Benjamin raised a brow.
"Honestly, of course no police force, or army or anything will know about this as the games is very hush hush as well as no one by yourself is going to save you. The man had tears in his eyes as he was visibly shaking.
"How do we show that we've killed each other? What proof do we show" Virgil called up, his own tone was surprisingly calm as well. Benjamin smiled at him making his skin crawl.
"Well, you are all branded as a part of the body. I figured you either take the brained skin off."
"But we can cheat and cut it off pretending that there dead." The doctor called again making very suspicious of him. He's far to calm for this, why isn't he scared?
"Yes, I did put that into consideration and then I figured." His smile grew manic and he held onto the umbrella stick tightly.
"You must cut off the assigned asset!"
He started cackling as he walked away, leaving everyone to there own thoughts. Virgil sat in a daze. The man who was wearing the police uniform stepped forward. Now Virgil could see his featured brown hair, Greying clearly by stressed and age. His features are hard but by he's rubbing his hand on his trouser leg: he's nervous and trying not to show it.
"Hello, my name is roman I'm the mouth And I am with the police force." He stated and the others sniffed in disbelief. "I believe if we all work together we can discover a way out from here safely for all of us."
His tone despite being nervous indicated that he was used to these sort of situations before. Maybe he was in with the force..? Virgil mind hurt trying to remember.
Why couldn't he remember!
He blinked trying to focus on the situation right now, clearly by "Roman" words the man in the leather jacket and the man in wool stepped forward as well. "We should all introduce to each other, so we all can work with each other."
"My name is remy and I represent the 'hands'." The man In wool who was huddled into remy's side, sobbing
"My name is Emile and I'm the tear ducts." He sniffled and Virgil felt pity for him.
The chain twins came huddling together, trying to work together to walk. "My name is Logan The man spoke and the woman nodded.
"I am amity And we are the feet."
Roman nodded and looked at Virgil and the doctor as they were the last to introduce. "My name is Virgil." He stated keeping his brand to himself, the doctor walked to the circle looking blank and stotic.
"My name is Patton," roman smiled weakly. "Well it's great to meet you both." Patton looked up at Virgil with a gleam in his eyes. A clear dangerous gleam which made Virgil visibly shaken.
