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.

[Romeo was more confused than scared, though he was a little bit scared as well. He didn't know why they were here or what the letters meant by infected but the instructions didn't sound too hard.]

What do you think the bad people want us to do?

[queenofbass]

_{[More kids? And this one looked almost as young if not younger than Taiki. Oh man oh man.]}

I really dunno, kid. Whatever it is, I'm not sure it's gonna be safe.

_{[Since when has her own safety concerned her, though? Nah, it's the younger ones she's worried for, she's pretty resilient.]}

[myblueskies]

It never is, but don't worry. [He smiles at her, he doesn't know her but he doesn't want the bad people hurting anyone!] I'll protect you miss, the bad people like to hurt us but if we stick together we can help each other! [He had raised his fist to his heart as he spoke]

[queenofbass]

_{[Was this kid serious? The idea of a child protecting her is simultaneously the funniest and yet the sweetest thing she's ever heard. The kid doesn't even look as old as Finn, for glob's sakes. A smile crosses Marceline's face, and a bit of laughter bubbles up.]}

Thanks, kiddo, but-- _{[She starts to say something to the effect of "I can take care of myself", but thinks better of it; even if it's true at least he offered, and it's a sweet sentiment anyway.]} Tell ya what. We'll keep an eye out on each other, sound good?

[myblueskies]

[Romeo grinned and nodded] Alright miss! The baddies can't hurt us if we work together! I'm Romeo miss!

[queenofbass]

_{[Marceline returned the grin, and floated down more to level with Romeo.]}

You betcha. And I'm Marceline.

[myblueskies]

It's nice to meet you miss Marceline! [He grins again, keeping his spirits up and acting brave]
