Sakila

[Well....we can just focus on our part, ne?] [Also, OTTD, remember, Zax is pretty young...He's in his 20s.] Sakila had lost Erru as quickly as she had gotten in touch with her. Hoping they'd be able to reach her again, she followed Tsukiko into the next room to find the most horrible scene of all. The next door was covered in lots of wires and tubes which all led to a person lying on a steel table in the center. A note was stuck on the far wall. Here lies an enemy to most of you. You are in control of his life. As long as his heart beats, the door will stay locked. If the door stays locked for 5 minutes, it explodes, killing you. You have two options. Use the provided guns to kill him and open the door. Or try to crack the lock yourself. However, if you decide to crack the lock and make a mistake, once more, the door will explode, killing you. Choose carefully. Lying on the table... was Colt.

(Huh? You're right Tsukiko....That never happened. I was in control of Zax when he died. He died by chance. Whoever went into the room first died. Zax went in first. Valther had nothing to do with it.)

Lol, your love for WWE And I don't have one.

"Erru! Erru, what's wrong?!" Panicking, Sakila yelled into the mic, "Erru! Answer me!" After a while, she heard steady breathing calmed down. Erru was safe. "Erru, I don't know where we are, but any info you need to find us, I'll tell you."

(Rose is right. We are losing time. Therefore, I hereby give permission to all the kidnappees to control my character to a reasonable extent. Juuuuuuust, don't make me too wussy or too aggressive. Ah, and if possible, please don't kill me OTZ) Sakila was relieved to see Ai and Rose. They ran over, carefully stepping on only the black tiles on the ground. "Thank goodness you two are alright! You won't believe what we've just learned." Sakila explained about P34 and APTX-4869 and the reason for their kidnapping. Then she heard a crackle coming from the speaker on her vest. "Sh**!" That was...Erru! "Erru! Can you hear us?"

(Aw. And I was hoping for some "PhiTake" action.)

[Normally, I'd be fine with it being APTX, but I'm not sure it would work......Maybe it would.... The first org definitely wasn't the BO...What if..GOT IT! What if the first organization got word of the BO's actions regarding APTX. They brought in their own scientist, aka Zax, and created their own version. BTW, we're the lab rats. In the middle of their experiment, Amsel, the game maniac, decided to kidnap us again. Guys think that would work?]

[Yep, but...we need the actual Project. What kinda test was it? And what if we were re-kidnapped because of P34? If we know what it really is, we'll be able to tie up some loose ends.]

(I was hoping Tsukiko or Misaki would describe the next room ^^" But whoever wants to do it still can. My post shall be vague-ish regarding the interior of the room.) "I'll go. Might as well get out of here as soon as possible," said Zax. Sakila opened the door for him seeing as how his hands were still tied. "This place is weird. It seems like it came straight out of a mo--." A gunshot rang out, stopping him from finishing the sentence. The scientist fell to the ground, his head bleeding profusely. Smoke rose from a pistol in the corner. A string was tied around the trigger, looped, and then placed parallel to the threshold of the door, so that whoever tripped on it would get shot. "P-project 34... Project 34..it's," Zax explained. Using his last ounce of energy, Zax told all of us what Project 34 really was. And it shocked everyone. (What should Project 34 really be anyway? Ideas, people? It was the reason we got kidnapped in the first place, so it's a big one!)

(@IU: We've dubbed him as Kaiser Amsel.) "Well," said Sakila, "a Pythagorean triple is simple, really. It's the three whole numbers you plug into the Pythagorean Theorem. So in a^2+b^2=c^2, a is equal to 6, b is equal to a mystery number, and c is equal to 10. B should equal 8, since 6, 8, and 10 make a Pythagorean triple." She picked up the card key with the number 8. "Who wants to put it in?"

Sakupyon! Hi, nice to meet you! How ya doin? Welcome to DCW! DCW is an awesome site--one filled with lotsa random fun people ^^ So, uh, don't be like me and take a really long break right after you join. Also, remember to contribute to the forums. Make friends and have fun! Again, welcome to DCW, Sakupyon!

After not hearing anything for a while, Sakila decided to continue trying to find a way out of the building, hoping to meet up with Ai and Rose later. Across the room, there was a wooden door that seemed out of place. Big, black, stenciled letters/numbers read Room 200. It looked like a door from a school. Walking inside revealed an average looking classroom with something written on the blackboard. On the teacher's desk sat three card keys. The blackboard read: "Something simple to start with. Each of the card keys has a number written on the front. The number which completes this sentence is written on the key which will open the steel door on the opposite corner. Use the wrong key, and the door will explode. Good luck. The question is: 6, __, and 10 create a Pythagorean triple." Aw, great. Math?

Hmm, like how the first sentence should introduce the topic or subtopic, the second three should support it and the third should wrap it up?

[Geez. plot's messed up again. Lemme see if I can put stuff into perspective. In this post, I plan to have our group leave the holding room and finally start playing the game. Think....Saw IV and stuff. That takes care of me, Misaki, Tsukiko, Zax, and the cursing lady. Cursing lady and Zax will have their wrists bound behind their backs. Ai, Rose, Dolcetto, Lei, and Mrs. Grey can meet up with us. AMSEL IS NOT DEAD. He is watching over us from an unknown location and he will probably be "revealed"" near the end? I don't know, because this guy is controlled by IU. Ya can't just kill him. We are somewhere within the building which prevents Erru from easily finding us. Speaking of Erru, Erru and Phi are searching for us. Also, I have absolutely NO IDEA what's going on with Eisuke. As far as I knew this was DCW IRL, not DC IRL. But, apparently, the BO are involved in this, but not with us directly, so I think it's best if we kidnappees ignore them. The only one who really needs to worry about them is Erru and also Phi, somewhat. And knowing Akai Sera, she'll be able to spin that story up and finish it on the side while searching for us. Does that help at all?] Sakila picked up the key from the bottom of the drawer and armed herself with one of the guns. Checking to see if her bulletproof vest was on correctly, she noticed a small button. She clicked it, which led it to light up and immediately heard static. A...a speaker system?! She hoped whoever was on the other end would contact them soon. "Tsukiko, Misaki. Check your vests, there's a speaker system on it." After informing the other two, Sakila shoved the key into the lock on the steel door and opened it slowly. Here goes nothin'. She exited the room and looked around at their surroundings. Oh great, another all white room with fluorescent lighting. Then she noticed another door exactly like theirs right next to them. Going up to it, she whispered, "Ai, Rose? You guys in there?"

[And I thought you guys would be pissed at me ]

[Alright, don't mind this, PLEASE don't mind this, but I just wanna say that Erru and Phi have... a lotta chemistry >____< EHEHE....BUT...I just mean the characters, ok! Just the characters--not the members themselves *IS NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING*]

Ummm....I can't see it?

"Yes. My real name is Keiichi Toyama. But why does that matter to you?" No way.... Was this guy related to Kosuke? "And... do you have a son named Kosuke Toyama?" "I'm 22, you idiot, not 42. Kosuke... Kosuke's my little brother. Although I haven't seen him in about six years. The Org doesn't let you contact your family...." He looked away. Sighing, he continued, "They probably think I'm dead. How do you know him, anyway?" Sakila couldn't tell him. "He was... one of the kidnappees who was able to escape at the old place." She closed her eyes. "Good. The little guy survived. I woulda pegged him to be the first one dead." Little did he know.... Sakila cut the bindings around his feet and pulled him up, keeping his hands still tied. One more to go. [uh, now, can someone else wake up the other guy/girl in our room so we can get outta here?]

I would have to disagree. I think Lady Gaga is totally weird. However, being weird is not necessarily a bad thing.

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?
