The Midnight Game

[animusmods]

As the chosen residents approach the elevator, two retrieval units will be waiting to hand out a sheet of paper to each person. These sheets of paper contain the instructions for their game, as well as a number placing them in one of four groups. The groups will be called one by one into the elevator and, after a long ride down, will be released into an empty version of the Tower identical to the one they just left, with two differences: in place of the countless dormitory rooms are just enough rooms for each group member to occupy one, and each door is made of wood. Inside each room is a candle, a knife that will cut the skin of the person wielding it and nothing else, a blank piece of paper, a book of matches, and a container of salt. Once in their rooms, they are to begin The Midnight Game.

Midnight Game Instruction Sheet
1. Write your complete name on the piece of paper.
2. Use the knife to cut your skin and place at least one drop of blood on the paper, allowing it to soak in.
3. Turn off the lights in your room. This will turn off all the lights in the Tower.
4. Place the piece of paper on the floor in front of the door. Light your candle and plce it on top of the piece of paper.
5. Knock on the dor 22 times. Upon the twenty-second knock, it will be midnight.
6. Open the door, blow out the candle, and close the door.
7. Relight your candle.

You must now move around the Tower, keeping your candle with you at all times. Keep moving to avoid the Midnight Man. If your candle goes out, relight it immediately. If you cannot relight your candle, surround yourself with a circle of salt. If you are unsuccessful you will



Keep moving until 3:33AM. If you are not captured by the Midnight Man, you win the game. If your entire group fails, you will be punished.

....A-Are you sure?

[She doesn't know this guy, but the smile's better than nothing.]

I-I mean why are they doing this?! W-What's even going on?!

[fifty]

Well... They're kind of jerks.

[America's been here long enough to know that for sure.]

Everything always goes away when they're done screwing around, though!

[metawoof]

It's all only temporary...?

[Well that was...kind of a relief, but then at the same time it was just even more concerning.] W-What's the point then? Is it all some sort of psychological test?

[Most immoral and illegal testing she's ever heard of, that's for sure.]

[fifty]

I don't know, probably something like that. Like in movies with mad scientists and stuff.

[...Wow that's probably not helping since it's not making him feel any better either.]

But if it's a game that must mean we can win it, right?

[metawoof]

[Mad Scientist movies were pretty entertaining. But then they never really turned out well for the test subjects. Erk]

Y...Yeah! Even if they do not know it there is always some loophole we can exploit and then beat them at their own game!

[fifty]

Right! [Thumbs up!] We'll totally kick their butts and win everything!

[metawoof]

Hell yes!!

[Wow, this guy was remarkably cool at cheering people up!]

O-Oh, my name is Echidna by the way. Thank you for your help!
