"what, who died?" Trinket said holding Alisa close
Alisa still crying opens her mouth to talk again but only the sounds of her crying manage to slip out
"Here, sit down" trinket starts as he puts Alisa to sit down on his bed "I'll go get you some water" Trinket then ran out of the room and comes back with a bottle of water.
Alisa quickly snatches the bottle and drinks the whole thing in a mater of twenty seconds and then speaks a lot more calmly but still shaky "Merdum died, Profico killed him"
"But aren't you guys friends, that doesn't make sense" Trinket responded in a concerned voice
"It does make sense, we we sent here to win a couple of games to get money so that the never trust could take over" Alisa responded
"You mean that cult that people hear rumors about?" Trinket said
"Yes, It's all real, and they're planning to take over everything tomorrow" Alisa said
"How come you never told me this" Trinket asked
Alisa's voice got really soft as she said "Because we weren't supposed to"
"Weren't supposed to, What do you mean that you weren't supposed to!" Trinket lashed back. This made Alisa start crying again. "Sorry, I just got angry" Trinket quickly replied. "Let's go warn the others" Trinket suggested
Suddenly the the power cut out
"What happened" Trinket said
"Profico's crazy, not stupid; he probably used the electronic locks to the doors and cut our power and holo-phones for our floor only to not raise suspision" Alisa replied
"The fail safes should activate in five hours, then we will warn the others" Trinket started as he grabbed flashlights "But first, fill me in on the cult"
(Timeskip)
It took about an hour to explain everything to Trinket and when Alisa was done Trinket spoke "If I die then I just want you to know, I think I love you"
"I don't want anyone else to die, especially you" Alisa paused fora couple of seconds "I you think you love me then you do love me"
Trinket hugged Alisa and said "You're right"
Trinket and Alisa spent the remaining four hours making finger puppets in the dark with only the flashlights barely illuminating the large area
(Timeskip)
As Trinket and Alisa were starting to get bored they heard the mechanical hiss of the door unlocking.
"That's the door, now let's go warn them" Trinket said as he got up and ran towards the door with Alisa
As Alisa and Trinket got to the floor they saw everyone asleep and the robots powered down upon entering through the doorway
"Why are they asleep" Alisa whispered to Trinket
"I guess it's late at night and everyone was celebrating Natalie's birthday" Trinket responded
"Should we wake them up?" Alisa asked
"Not yet, I have an idea" Trinket said as he went to the kitchen and came back with one pot and one pan, and held them in front of his face. "You want to count me down?" Trinket asked
Alisa grinned and started counting "Three, Two, One"
Trinket hit the pot and pan together creating a huge sound of metal clanking together instantly waking everyone up
"Why'd you do that" Mirage said disoriented
Trinket was quiet and then responded "Because shit's about o go down"
