Sakila

So you're saying that the meat dress lady is NOT weird?

"Sure, why not? They could be useful," said Sakila in reply to Misaki's question. She went over to one of them, a tall guy in one corner, sliding a blade out just in case. [NPC...REMINDER?: Codename: Zax. Originally introduced by Ram in a past post. According to BK201, he's an ice king who's the head of Project 34. *cough-cough Also gonna make him a sorta bishounen cuz I'm weak when it comes to the emotionless bastard-types* Black hair and blue eys works for everyone, ne?] "Hey, you. Heeeeeey. Wake up!" Sakila started slapping him a bit, finally getting a few mumbles. "Mmm...Lei...leave me alone...it's still early...Idiot...." "First of all, there's no way in hell I'm Lei. Second, I am sooo not an idiot. And third, if you value your life, you will wake up RIGHT NOW." The guy finally woke up. His eye widened in surprise before narrowing in suspicion. "Who are you?" "Welcome to captivity, Sleeping Beauty. Name's Sakila. You are?" He didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked around the room and realization slowly started to settle in. His eyes finally settled on the knife peeking out of Sakila's glove. "Zax," he finally replied. "Well, Zax, you'll be our hostage until we escape from wherever this is." Sakila filled Zax in on the situation--well most of it. "Now it's your turn. First, why did you kidnap us? And second, what do you know about what's going on right now?" He sighed. "You're quite annoying, litte girl. The reason you were captured by our organization has nothing to do with me. I'm simply the head of the science department. And since I don't need any human guinea pigs at the current moment, you probably have no connection to Project 34. And I'm definitely not going to explain what that is. Also, the only thing I understand about this situation is that it reflects the style of Kaiser Amsel." "Amsel? Who's he?" "I barely know him. I've heard of him from Ram. He's supposedly a criminal mastermind who loves games. And he always uses humans as pawns. One of our rival gangs got completely scrapped by him two years ago. Only one survived. Now he's a high-ranking member. His name's Dolcetto. He told us that it always starts like this. In an all white room with five players. You survive, you win. Dolce told me he had to kill all the other players to win. That's all you're gonna get from me." Sakila stared at him fiercely and he stared with a cold expression. She turned around and sighed, taking one of the file folders out of the drawer. She was shocked to open it and suddenly see her own face staring back at her. Looking closer, she discovered that the first page contained her address, DOB, SSN--pretty much everything there was to know about her. The second folder was about Misaki. The third about Tsukiko. The fourth about Zax--and that was when she saw it. Slowly, she faced Zax. "Your real name...is TOYAMA KEIICHI?"

[Now, now, Tsukiko, don't make me too mean. ^^; My character's not supposed to be so...bitchy.]

Have you beaten it?

I have a question, Panko-chan--do you start out with guidelines, or just wing it?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.

[We're in different rooms. There are 5 people in each group. My group contains Tsukiko, Misaki, me, and two other people. Ai, Rose, fainted lady, Lei and...I forgot the other one are in another room.]

The U.S. has a reputation of ignoring the talented, so yeah.

[We found files, too. Maybe you guys can find the same note later on, or find a way to escape yourselves, meet up with us, and then see our note? I dunno.... ^^"]

"Awesome, thanks." Using her knife, Sakila pulled the drawer away from the door. Inside, were loaded guns, extra bullets and some file folders. A small note was on top, barely noticeable. It read: "Welcome players, to the most thrilling game you shall ever encounter. As soon as you exit this room, your life shall constantly be in danger. Will all of you survive it? Or will all of you perish? Only time will tell. Underneath these folders, you shall find a key that will allow you to exit through the steel door in the corner. Then, the game shall begin." A game, huh? Well, Sakila had always been competitive. [There-- whatcha think of my idea?]

[Yeah, and a note that really sets one of the bases for the main plot.]

[Me gots an idea. But I need Misaki......] Sakila turned around, looking around the room for any way of escape. She saw a small keyhole next to the door. Hmm....a secret compartment, maybe? "Hey, anyone here good at lock-picking?"

Hmm....1D. Well, there's no way I'm saying that they're bad. Because they're not. They are overrated however. But a lotta bands are. And it's not really my type of music. So. That's it. That's my opinion on 1D. Personally, I'm not their biggest fan. There. Nothing too offensive.

I agree with that. It's not their greatest. However, a lot of the people here listen to that song a lot but whenever I mention the name of the actual band, they go huh?

This Tsukiko chick was acting like everything was fine. That everything would turn out like they did in the movies. Like all of a sudden, someone would bust open the door and everyone would be saved. Hurray. There's no way she knows how all this really ends. It's fight or die--no alternatives. Yeah, she'd been there when the old head of the 8-mile gang had bust into her 6th grade classroom and shot DJ Jones right in the forehead for messing up his car. She'd been there when that kid stole her bike and then came back with his older brother to terrorize the neighborhood. If anyone knew what it meant to be trapped, she did. She just couldn't believe that someone would be so chatty in this kind of situation. Didn't Misaki and Tsukiko know that they could DIE? Misaki returned Sakila's knife and she slid it back into her glove. She didn't think Tsukiko was a spy. It'd be too obvious. But at the moment, she didn't particularly trust anyone.

I'm actually a fan of heavy metal, so Maximum the Hormone and stuff. But every once in a while, you hear a song from another genre that even someone as picky as me can like.

Whaaaaaaaaat? You didn't mention Breakeven? That's one their most popular songs. 'Ere you go, Phi: Gotta listen to this one.

AND WE ONLY JUST MET <3 *sobs and hugs to death* Here's my new list: ... ... ... SCREW IT! I LOVE EVERYBODY <3 *hugs all of DCW (emphasis on Aiko-chan )*

[iU <3333333333333333333333333333333 oh goodness, have I ever told you how much I love youuuuu <333 Thank you so much--I was so CONFUSED!!!!] This could NOT be happening twice in the same day. It could NOT. Sakila couldn't believe it. What was it with kidnappings and migraines? Now where was she? She'd remembered leading the kidnappees southeast when a horde of masked men had come, taking them again. She looked down and noticed her arms and legs tied and something fuzzy in her mouth. Thankfully, she felt her glove still on her hand. She noticed that she was in a room with five people; two of whom were Misaki and the blonde. Misaki was already awake. Sakila sat up on her knees and worked her hands under her legs and brought them to the front. She pulled a white rag from her mouth. "Misaki," she whispered, trying to gain the attention of the tall girl. She used her teeth to slide out one of her knives and set to work cutting the ropes around her wrists. After finishing with that, she cut the ropes around her ankles. Sakila got up and stretched her muscles, examining the room she was in. It was much more sanitary than the old one. It was painted all white with the fluorescent lights on the ceiling casting an eerie blue glow. There was one steel door across from her and two security cameras in two of the opposite corners. "These guys are better-equipped, it seems."

(So half of my screen is completely marred. I only half saw Phi's post. This is ridiculous. BTW, You guys follow me if you want) "I'm sure we'll be fine." Sakila nodded towards Erru's general direction. "Go make sure she's safe, man." They parted ways. Sakila went in the opposite direction and slowly rounded the corner. She hoped the rest of her comrades were behind her. One of the kidnappers was running past the hallway. Sakila briefly recognized him as the man who'd been shaking Kosuke outside. She stuck out her foot, tripping him. She then hit the back of his head with the butt of the gun in her hand and used her glove to stab him in his knee so he couldn't easily run. She quickly gagged him and tied his hands up while he was still dazed. Pulling him up by the scruff of his neck she ordered him to walk. "You scream, I shoot," she said, shoving her gun against his head. Sakila continued towards the Southeast room Erru had told her about.

Sakila put her glove back on and slid out two of the knives halfway. She stuck the old gun in her belt and held the new one in right hand. The vest fit snugly over her clothes. She opened the room to the hostage room slowly, making sure no one was outside. "Ready, everyone?"

"Ya want a volunteer? I'll go. I need me some action." Sakila smirked. Her voice was slightly wavering and she purposefully avoided the body of the little. But the second time Erru picked him up, something white fell out of his pocket. Sakila went up to it and swiped it off the floor. It was a small folded piece of paper. Sakila opened it up and saw what looked like a school assignment. At the upper-left, there was a name: Toyama Kosuke. She looked at the boy. His eyes were closed and it looked like he was sleeping peacefully. The tears on his face were gone. "Nice to meet you, Kosuke." [NPC ADD: Toyama Kosuke. Seven years old. Status: deceased.]

Sakila slid away from the door, allowing them to open the door and let Erru in. She was surprised and happy to see the two girls from before. "You too?! You're okay!" Alright, so now, what was their plan? She was ready to get outta this place.

I'd dress up like Kid and show off magic tricks. What would you do if you discovered aliens living in your basement?

Aw, why? In fact, I'd like to see your art...
