I lifted my head slowly from where I lay.. it hurt, a lot, for some unusual reason. I seemed to be sat at a table.. no .. a desk? A wooden desk? Hm?

As my eyes slowly adjusted to my surroundings.. it felt almost like I was staring at a classroom.. at a chalkboard.. a blank one, for sure.. my whole body hurt ... and nothing even felt right.

What was I last doing? Where even I am? Was I supposed to know?

Perhaps I.. was just hungover, that could be a possibility..

...maybe its a dream.

The more I tried to get myself back into reality.. the more my mind absorbed by surroundings.. no, it definitely wasn't a dream, but I just didn't feel right.. this room, what was it?

I was too tired to panic.. but it seemed to be the right thing to do.

I lifted my body from the seat, wobbling and looking around, blinking to get a better view.. a classroom.. definitely.. it just looked like a normal classroom.. nothing odd..

Well, it isn't normal.. since I don't even know where I am.. really.. sure it's a classroom but.. I've never seen it in my life.

"W-what-?" I finally managed to say to myself, gazing down at the sheet of paper infront of me..

It had writing on it.. I decided to pick it up, it seemed like the most reasonable thing to do.

It was crumpled, written in pencil

You have been especially picked to partake in this special event! You may be confused but I assure you it's nothing to be worried about. You are an ultimate, correct? We have been observing you, and you fit perfectly for our little game! Please make yourself at home, explore the facility, and meet your fellow participants! 10am you will be expected to meet outside. Please don't be late, attendance is mandatory

Odd... I mean.. it explained a lot of things.. but could I really trust this piece of paper. And explore the facility? Meet outside? Was this connected to a bigger building? Was there an outside? And.. meet your fellow participants, what did that ev-

"I'm as confused as you are" Somebody from behind me mumbled, making me cry out and turn around

"You scared me!- holy, lock- what in the world was that for??" Was all I could say, not taking any time to observe him, once I did though, I made out what he was..

He was a keychain... like ..a heart one.. he wore these.. gloves.. well.. glove.. he only had one arm?.. and some ribbons on his legs.. This was a lot to take in.. other people? And, game? It mentioned game on the note.. Especially picked? Well I was an Ultimate... that bit was true .. but especially picked for what? Why Ultimates? It saying 'others' suggested there were others that had also been picked for whatever this was..this guy in front of me suggested that there were definitely others as well.

Maybe this was some sort of stupid.. lottery thing our families and friends signed you up to.. like reality tv..

I'm getting off track, he's staring at me

"Are you going to say anything?" He asked, tilting his head. "Or are you just going to stare"

Asshole "Hm? What? Oh.. sorry, I'm still, a bit, dizzy and everything .. I don't really.. get whats going on.. or .. remember anything... "

The guy raised an eyebrow "Well, whatever. .. try and pull yourself together " He mumbled ".. I was kinda hoping you would remember something instead.. but.."

"What do you mean? Don't you remember either?"

He squinted his eyes "you'd think that, wouldn't you" okay sorry ".. as many times as I've read the note.. it's still so confusing to me" he rubbed his head "game?? I don't even remember what I was last doing!- or how I got here.. or..anything!"

".. Well, it mentioned in the note.. something about getting to meet the 'others' and 'exploring the facility'" I said "The more you think about your memory.. the more it'll annoy you.. for now, lets just introduce ourselves okay? I'm sure things will be explained futher on"

He raised an eyebrow, looking away "you're..right.. thanks" he mumbled, looking back up at him "I'm Keychain, I'm the Ultimate Ballet Dancer.."

"Ballet dancer?" I mean the ribbons on his legs suggested that, I don't know why I'm surprised "That's a nice talent

He gazed to the side, "..thanks, ..um..you?"

"Hm?"

"You.. your talent..."

"Oh!- yeah " I straightened myself out "I'm Key, the Ultimate Pianist "

"Oh!- yeah " I straightened myself out "I'm Key, the Ultimate Pianist "

He observed me "so you like, play piano?"

No I play the drums "Yeah, I love playing the piano! It's such an interesting thing to kill time.. but also enjoy yourself..! I love all the different varieties of songs you can play, the chords-"

"Yeah okay okay whatever," he shrugged "Maybe another time"

I frowned as he cut me off, "alright,"

"So, now what??" He looked at the piece of paper he must've received himself "so, do we look for the others? Apparently theres others.. according to the note"

Well.. its not like we had any other choice, and it did say things would be explained later. Perhaps it was best not to think about where I was or how I got here.. and do what the paper said. I mean, it wasn't the most normal situation, but I really had no choice.. neither of us did..

As confusing and concerning this was.. the thought of being in this room with no explanation of how I got here, and hardly remembering anything about what I was previously doing, was a lot to take in. The better thing was to try and forget about it for now..

Everything would be explained.. the paper said so .. and its not like I had any other guide

"Well, are you coming?" Keychain asked, beginning to walk to the classroom door

"Right, yeah" I nodded, following him mindlessly, since he seemed to be taking the lead.

Whatever this was, it didn't have a good feel to it, at all.. all I could think about was the bad possibilites to this..

Surely, this wasn't good.
