"Jon Cozart." The stranger introduced himself.

"N-Nice to meet you, Jon." Felix said, still thoroughly shaken up from the weapon in his face.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about shoving my knife in your face. I was just kind of scared about what was on the other side of the door." Jon apologized awkwardly to the Swedish man.

"No problem, bro." Felix accepted the apology, though he wasn't able to shake off the bad feeling he had about this man.

"So...who are you guys, anyways? And, what happened to you?" Jon asked, looking around at the beaten up group.

He caused for jealousy among them, really. Jon was in perfect health, and completely clean, while the rest of them looked like they were practically the walking dead.

"I'm Felix." The blonde answered.

"Shane." Shane called out from behind him.

"I'm Joey!"

"Anthony."

"My name's Phil."

"And what happened to us...it's a long story." Anthony mumbled, his eyes trailing down to his numb legs.

The group told Jon their whole story; all from the beginning. Starting with waking up to a game of death, to the first death, the first trail, the first punishment, all the way to Toby floating in the bathtub never to breathe again. The final trial where everyone was banished after Felix won. Felix's journeys to find everyone. Him discovering Joey, Anthony, and Phil, though specifically leaving out him finding Tyler, just mentioning his death. The explanation of Anthony's dysfunctional legs was prominent to tell. They even told of Ken's death, though they were gentle of Felix's feelings.

"You guys...have been through a lot." Jon commented awkwardly after listening thoroughly.

"Yeah..." Phil mumbled, who had just been recalling what had happened when Ken was swept away in the river.

"Yeah. Um. Why don't we get started exploring around the new areas of this place?" Felix suggested gruffly.

"I can give you guys a tour of the area I was stuck in. I don't think many new places were opened up." Jon offered.

"Sounds good." Joey said with a smile.

Everyone went to follow Jon, except Anthony of course, for more of a reason than the fact he couldn't.

"Hey Felix! Could you help me...check on something?" Anthony bellowed to the Swedish man.

"Uh, yeah. Where do you want me to take you?" Felix agreed, catching on to what Anthony was saying.

"The dressing room." Anthony replied with a serious, yet sad tone.

Felix froze in place. Why would Anthony of all people want to go back there as soon as they got back. "Are you sure, bro? I mean-" Felix's protest was cut off by the brunette on the floor.

"Felix. I'm sure. Just trust me." He assured, though the paling of his face said otherwise.

Felix had no choice but to cooperate. How could he resist his friend who couldn't really make his own choices? "Alright..."

The blonde walked over to the Smosh boy and wrapped an arm around his waist. Anthony placed his arm over Felix's shoulders, and together they were able to get Anthony up on his feet in a position that Felix could basically drag him through the halls.

"Thank you." Anthony mumbled sincerely.

Felix remained silent. He was glad to help his friend, but he didn't agree with where he was taking him. Anthony wanted to return to the place where his best friend murdered one of his other friends, and was stabbed? It just didn't make sense. Not only that, but it could be mentally damaging for the poor American.

Despite his thoughts, the Swedish male carried Anthony throughout the hallways until arriving to the dressing room he so desperately wanted to avoid. He managed to open the door even with Anthony clutched to his side. He brought the brunette into the room and placed him down on the chair set up in front of a large mirror.

"So, is there a reason you wanted to be in...here?" Felix asked, his eyes retreated everywhere but the bloodstain on the carpet where Dan Howell once lay.

Anthony didn't even look up at his friend. He seemed already focused on something else entirely. Felix moved in closer, attempting to see just what the American was looking at. There in the wooden desk was a carving.

Ian's carving.

The memory rang throughout Felix's mind. After the trial of Ian and Dan's murder, the remaining living people were shown a video of exactly what had happened that lead to the killings. Ian was carving something into the desk with a knife, which is what caused Dan's curiosity to get himself killed.

In fact, Dan was in the exact same position Felix was in at that exact moment.

"Holy shit..." Anthony whispered under his breath.

This snapped Felix out of his memories, and gave him the motivation to actually read what Ian had written.

Ant-

There are weird noises coming from a couple of the rooms in here

They're all locked but I think we should try to check them out anyways

There was evil laughing and screaming coming from one of the doors in the entrance hall

And the room down the hall sounded like it was buzzing

Oh, and I wanted to warn you, I think someone in our group is going crazy

Sorry I had to carve this, instead of telling you, I'll scratch it out later, I just really couldn't say it out loud because I don't trust

The message was cut off there. That must have been the time that Dan interrupted Ian's writing.

"Anthony..." Felix muttered, not sure what else to say.

"Felix! Felix, there are other people in here! They say they know you!" Joey's voice could be heard shouting somewhere out in the hallway.

Felix's eyes widened, and a confused expression spread over his face. He looked to Anthony, silently asking him if it was okay to take off.

"Go ahead without me. We can check out those rooms later. I'll just stay here...reminiscing." Anthony said sadly, looking down at Ian's last message to his best friend.

Felix felt a pang of guilt, but was too excited to see who else was surviving in this hell to act upon it. He sprinted out of the room and throughout the hallways, until he reached where a group of eight people were congregated.

"Felix!" A female voice called out to him.

"Minx?! Krism?!"
