MAZE ONE

[hereyouare]

[You wake up on a cold metal bed in a room that is unfamiliar to you.

How long have you been out for? Why does your head hurt? Why can't you remember how you got here?

Before you find the answer to these questions, you might want to check out that hand-written note. There's one in every room.

Dear [NAME],

Thank you for volunteering to participate in the experiment. With your help, this project should be quite successful. My name is Huey Laforet, and I am the one responsible for this experiment. I will be here observing and the point of my project will be revealed by the end.

Your goal today is to find the exit. To do so, you'll need three card keys. However, to activate them, you will need the item listed on the card to move forward. You might not be able to find everything by searching, but certainly, there are other ways to get what you need. I've left them scattered about,

If you fail to escape by the time the experiment is over, you will have to participate in further experiments with me. If you succeed, then you will be able to successfully leave the maze.

I wish you luck. Try to stay alive.

-Huey Laforet]

Um-- hello?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

Yo. You look confused.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[superunlucky]

[blinks]

Eh? Are you not?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

Eh. Not the first time it's happened.

At least last time was a bed.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[superunlucky]

-- eeeeh? You too? What happened to you last time?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

Lost all my memories and had a team to protect.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[superunlucky]

[WELL THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HOPE'S PEAK AT ALL]

[except the part where it kind of does]

. . .

Protect from who?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

The other teams. And the portraits that ran the contests that killed us on multiple occasions.

[affectate]

If you were to be placed within a swimming pool filled with water, then you would drown!

[earthquaked]

Why would I drown when I can swim?

[affectate]

Because it is impossible to swim while you are asleep, Miss! You did wake up in this place as well as myself, didn't you?

[earthquaked]

Eh, I'd be fine.

[ ... staring at her, though :|a ]

[affectate]

If you are certain... do drown quickly, should you choose to do so!

[ blah blah skinny-ass white girl, about a shade off from dead, fluffy black hair, bright red eyes (kinda sunken, heavy lids, long lashes), mole under the left one

oh and I guess she looks exactly like that one girl from Celeste you might vaguely remember if you're Auriga ]

[earthquaked]

[ idk i'd probably still eat you ]

...Judy?

[affectate]

[ gay ]

My name is Elaine.

[earthquaked]

[ i could eat you That Way too if you wanted ]

Well, you're not in Celeste colors, so I guess... huh. Weird.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[outbalance]

That'd be a pretty rude awakening, wouldn't it...?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

If you're a pussy, yeah.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[outbalance]

[ haha ]

Well, I guess you could say that.

Would you mind if I asked you something?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

Shoot.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[outbalance]

Would you happen to have any affiliation with Hope's Peak Academy?

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

Nah, never heard of it. Kinda fell out of school after elementary.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[outbalance]

[ suddenly far less engaging in manner. ]

... I see. How unfortunate. Then, I suppose that's that.

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[earthquaked]

"That's that"...?
