DCW IRL Round 5: Game, Set, Match!

[Lovestruck 70]

(Wow. I leave for a few days and this happens. x: well, I'm back now. I'm sorry to keep you all waiting people. Can this round 'Unfrozen' so I could post?!)

[tengaku squared 291]

(Wow. I leave for a few days and this happens. x: well, I'm back now. I'm sorry to keep you all waiting people. Can this round 'Unfrozen' so I could post?!)

Yes, this round is now unfrozen. But like IU said, you have been warned.

[Lovestruck 70]

(Okay then, I'm sure this won't happen again^^)

'Knock-knock’

“CHRIS! I’ve asked you not to disturb me until the idiots arrive!” Shouted the voice behind the door “But Sir, they’re already here.” Replied Chris. “Oh. Now that’s a surprise, I haven’t expected them to arrive that early.” The old man laughed hysterically. “Is everything ready?”

“Yes, sir. I’ve done everything you asked me to do.” Answered Chris, He was disgusted by his boss’s actions and attitude. “Well, then go tell them that I’ll come down in a minute. Now go.” said the old man.

Chris went downstairs, to the room where everyone waited for the general manager to appear. “Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting.” said Chris. “And you are…?” asked a tall Asian man. “I’m Chris, The general manager’s assistant. I’m responsible of introducing you to our gameshow, to the rules and how to play. Basically I’m your guide to this gameshow. But, while we wait for the general manager, why don’t you all introduce yourselves to me?” Chris smiled.

Right after the last person introduced himself, the general manager was there. “Hello, everyone!” said the old man. “I’m Randell, The general manager of this gameshow! Are you all ready for some action? I bet you are! So, to start off.. We’re gonna divide you into teams, each team would have 4 members. And since you are all twenty, we’re going to have five teams! And if you were wondering, you’ll choose your team members. I’m giving you two hours to choose and split up into teams. Good luck--” Said Randell “---Idiots, you’ll need it.” He muttered under his breath, while grinning at them, His ‘idiots’. Randell & Chris have left the room, leaving the others with lots of questions.

(If you wonder who are the other ‘Twelve’ Players, they are just NPCs. Also, you can all design the NPCs you want to include in your team as you like, but It would be better if there was just two NPCs at each team. Only one team would have 3 NPCs. After you decide who you want to be on your team and you are done with creating the NPCs, you can reply to the old PM you have started with me before to tell me who's on your team or just post it here. In short, I leave the team choosing up to you, people. However, if I do not get a reply from some of you in two days, I will have to put you in any available team. ^^)

[Henry Gordan 20]

(uuh so many NPCs. I think too many because they are not under our command)

[Sakila 88]

(So ok, I may be the only one having a problem with this.

There will be five teams of four players, right? If two of those players are NPCs, two are IRL players. Right so far, huh?

Alright, so next, there is one group if 3 NPCs. Which would mean it contains...one IRL player.

This is where I get confused. Since there are five teams and one if them contains a 3:1 ratio then the other four must have a 2:2 ratio, yes? But there are 8 IRL players.. So the last team with the three NPCs must fall short a player. But they can't, since there are a total of 20 players. 8 players and 12 NPCs.

Ughhhh... Math.

Anyhow, I personally feel like there shouldn't be so many NPCs. If we just had like, two or four, it would even out nicely. I don't really see the need for 12 NPCs. It would be so confusing......)

[Henry Gordan 20]

(yeah ^thas what I meant. With real people there is no problem, because it's easier to remember

who who by their name but there is no way that we could remember 12 NPCs)

I understood from her explanation, that you can decide who you want in your team. Think the NPCs are a distraction. Means you don't need to know who they are. Possibly for you to 'kill off' in future. You don't have to use them if you don't want to. And you can use them (but according to the rules that she set) if you want to. Basically, I think they are just 'extras' which we can make use of.

Edits: this is based off entirely of my understanding. And I feel it makes more sense this way.

[mabel 59]

(Question: if you don't know who should be on [your] team, then should we wait to be put in one?

and also, if the IRL does not get enough NPC's, does everyone have to make one? /too lazy to make a NPC

/but of course, if you would like me to, I can.)

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

(please don't mind my double post. Need to separate this from the above just in case.)

----------

M was partially conscious now to realize that there was a change in the atmosphere. She opened her eyes to find a young looking man explaining some stuff which she didn't bother listening. People then started to announce their names in an orderly manner. She slid behind a wall and reduced her presence. They seemed to have forgotten about her and she didn't need to participate in that. The young guy threw a glance at her for a moment though, in the end. It seems like he noticed but not said anything. Another man, older, came in afterwards, made a speech which M didn't bother remembering.

All she really heard was that she had to team up with 3 other players. She didn't like this idea. She would have preferred to work alone. (It would be troublesome to look for three players)

Just then a few staff members started to paste some signs on the wall. It says:

"If you have your team members, please proceed to the next room."

"..."

Many people have already started moving about to gather team members. Some others just observed, like her. It didn't really matter who would team up with her, as long as she gets in the game.

Those who were going around we're probably trying to find out the capabilities of the players and choosing the best team mates they can find.

Suddenly, a girl called out to her. "Hey you!"

M glanced at her slightly without lifting her head. "Yes you. Can't really remember your name... Wanna join us?" she asked and walked towards her casually.

"..."

"Hey wait..." a guy stopped her, then whispered. "...Why do you want a kid in our team? He'll be useless. I've found someone. Trash him."

The girl nodded and turned back to M. "Hey sorry, looks like we're full already. Thanks anyway~" and she sped off.

"..." M leaned back and returned to observing the actions of the rest of the humans.

===========

@mabel: I'm guessing that she will put the remaining people in a group. I guess that's where her 'only one team can have 3 NPCs' come about - probably just in case there is only one person left without a group. But she did say she will group you if you don't know who you want to end up with.

Side note: I wanna be in that group with 3 NPCs! XDDDDDD But I'm still considering :V :V :V

[Lovestruck 70]

[Oh my, I think my explanation caused more confusion. Why so many NPCs? So we could keep the game moving. So you can kill them/finish them off. You'll all understand that later(After we're done with the teams). And just like I said before, if you've got any question you can ask me in the PM. I'm ready to answer all of your questions. Also, if you people think you cannot divide yourselves into groups, feel free to tell me before the deadline given (One more day) and I will arrange that. Though, I thought that everyone wanted to divide themselves as they like. :/ And KKLT, Thanks for your help again <3]

[Lovestruck 70]

[i have made a mistake in the teams dividing thingy, it would be like this;

Distribution:

Team 1 | Team 2 | Team 3 | Team 4 | Team 5

2 players|2 players|2players|1player|1player

2 NPCs| 2 NPCs | 2 NPCs | 3 NPCs | 3 NPCs

That explains it better? And yes, too many NPCs. In total, we'd have twelve NPCs. Do not worry about them, they're only there to keep the game moving. I will control all of them. The only reason -Just like KKLT mentioned- of creating too many NPCs because you're just going to kill them. They're not important at all. ]

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

M observed everyone in the hall. Everyone seemed to have started forming teams. Some of them formed teams with random people, some chose their team mates carefully, some went around looking for teams to take them. There seemed to be a few teams already forming very quickly. Slowly, the people in the room kept reducing and reducing as they all moved to the other room with their own teams. Slowly, after about an hour, all have finally decided their teams and have gone through to the other room.

M continued to lean onto the wall as she inspected the people remaining.

"It's all your fault! What do we do now?"

"My fault!? It was you who was so picky and didn't want to join any team!"

A fat guy and a skimpily dressed girl was quarrelling.

"Who would want to join the team with a lunatic!? And all you've been inviting are girls! Don't think I didn't realize!"

"What are you saying?! Aren't you the one who kept on inviting guys!? Even when all of them rejected you!"

"That's because they were disgusted by you that they rejected!"

"What!? Don't put the blame on me for being rejected!"

"humph... Whatever..."

"Having girls is better than having no team at all. You should have known better..."

"And let you flirt with them!?"

"And you prefer we team up with those pesky kids!?" the fat guy pointed to the direction of M and another younger boy.

"Tsk..." the girl threw a disgusted look at M and the other boy.

"Hey you!" the girl yelled loudly at the boy who cowered in fear. "I know... Both of you shall be my servants! And I shall graciously allow you to join my team!"

"Heh your habit has acted up again huh, honey?"

"Humph. They should be grateful." The skimpy woman then glanced at M, "Hey kid, what are you doing over there. Get moving now! To the room!"

"..." M was a little amused with her reaction. She wondered what was it that made her act the way she did. Logically, there was nothing to be grateful about. Everyone would definitely get a team no matter what so why was it that she was so arrogant?

M ignored the girl and shrugged before walking past the skimpy girl and the fat guy, going into the next room first.

"Hey you! What's with the attitude!" the girl yelled at M while following her through the door.

[Tsukiko 73]

(hey, i'm goinf to be off for couple of das. Plese dom't kick me out.)

[Lovestruck 70]

(Hey, I'm going to be off for a couple of days. Please don't kick me out.)

[how long?]

[Lovestruck 70]

'Kay, my pc is glitching and deleting like everything I type, so I might not be able to post...

Do you think you're able to continue?

[Sakila 88]

(I apologize for the sheer length of this. The italic part just delves deeper into my character's personality and you don't have to read it, I guess, unless you wanna stalk Sakila out for game references.)

She ran into the house, covered in dirt, mud, and blood.

"Honey?! Oh, no, my baby! What happened to you?!"

"They wouldn't be quiet, Mommy. They wouldn't be quiet. They were all talking. They kept talking and talking and talking. So I made them be quiet."

"You mean, this isn't your blood?" Her mother's face twisted into a horrific expression. "Honey," she whispered softly, "what on earth did you do?"

"I hurt them, Mommy. I hurt them real bad."

Her mother immediately ran forward and hugged her daughter, holding her tight against her chest. "Honey, listen to Mommy, okay? You can't tell anybody," she whispered fervently. Picking the little girl up, she ran into the bathroom and began cleaning her up. "You're all Mommy has, right? And Mommy's all you have. We're all alone and no one can help us. Those other kids, what if they tell their parents? What if they... Oh, no, what if they sue...." I don't think I can afford.... Her mother trailed off, now talking to herself as she washed her blood-covered daughter in the bathtub.

A few weeks later....

"Not again... not again! What did you do?!"

She whimpered. Not from being yelled at. Her back was covered in scrapes and cuts and her clothes were ripped in many places. "She hurt me! She hurt me, Mommy!" The girl started wailing.

"Who's this she?"

"That girl who came over to our house! I hate her! I hate her Mommy! I want her to die!"

"Shush!! Be quiet!" Her mother ran over to her. "My boss's daughter?! Of all the people.... Do you know what could happen now? I... I could be fired! And then you...." She rushed into the bathroom with her daughter again, this time, sitting her down roughly on the edge of the tub. She grasped the little girl's upper arms tightly, not caring for her cry of pain.

"Listen to Mommy. If anyone asks, anyone at all, tell them that Mommy hurt you, okay? But it was an accident, okay?" Her eyes seemed half-dazed, half-crazed and she seemed as if she couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Okay...okay Mommy."

Her unconsciousness was short-lived and Sakila awoke to a hand on her forehead.

She was tired. Just so tired of it all.

She felt a hard and uncomfortable chair supporting her. She didn't move. Slowly, she moved her hand to the left side pocket of her borrowed blue capris. She found it instantly, a pen she'd discovered the previous owner had placed there.

She was just so tired of it all. So annoying. All of it was just so annoying.

The hand on her forehead shifted slightly, trying to determine her temperature. Gripping the pen tightly, Sakila suddenly pulled it out and stabbed the back of the hand of the unknown person.

She'd been doing it for a long time. The whole acting gig. The whole ridiculousness.

A screech of pain resounded throughout the room as Sakila fluttered her eyes open. She sat up and stretched lazily before standing up and licking her lips. She threw the bloodied pen to the floor as the person she'd stabbed cursed and nursed their hand in the corner.

"Shut up."

She narrowed her eyes and turned around slowly, staring down her victim. "Touch me again, and it won't be your hand I stab." The victim glared at her but stayed quiet an Sakila turned back around.

Two men came in and explained the rules of the game and Sakila crossed her arms as the lengthy speech finished.

Teams, huh?

"Misaki, she said, looking over to the girl. "You're teaming up with me." Leaving it at that, Sakila scouted out the rest of the contestants. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw Kamila. Didn't even realize she was here. But Kamila didn't seem to be the best possible choice, so Sakila continued scouting. An athletic-looking girl stood in the corner. Perfect.

And next to her stood... her exact replica, albeit much weaker-looking. Hmm... I'll take it. At the very least, she could make use of the weak one's loyalty. Sakila made her way towards the twins.

"You're joining our team." It was a statement.

"No way! We all know what kind of psycho you are! There's no way we're joining you."

"Chia...." The weaker one spoke up. "She could... give us an advantage, you know."

Smart girl.

"What?! No way we're teaming up with this lunatic, Dina!"

"It wasn't a choice." She stared the two down. "Besides, you have no other options." Looking around, Chia found that most of the others had already formed groups.

"...You mess with either of us... and I'll--"

"I don't care. Let's go. Oh...and my name's Kisa, by the way."

Let the games begin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Team One shall consist of myself, Misaki-chan, and NPC twins Chia and Dina.

Three bios, y'all. First is my true personality. Only Lovestruck knows of this personality:

Name: Kisa

Age: 15

Appearance: Same

Personality: in reality, she's cruel and cold-blooded and hates to be with people--she's more so an introvert and just pretends to be cheery; very manipulative in order to get what she wants

Abilities: Good actress

NPCs

Name: Chiasso (Chia)

Age: 16

Appearance: 5'4", pale-skinned, wavy blonde hair ending jaggedly at her shoulder blades with sharp bangs parted to the right, mischievous emerald green eyes; wearing a slouchy green off-the-right-shoulder shirt with "KISS AT YOUR OWN RISK" written in bright orange in the front, a spaghetti-strapped black shirt underneath, denim cutoffs, and black heels. She wears a studded black choker and matching wristband on her right hand.

Personality: Loud and outgoing, not afraid to speak her mouth, rude and crude, she's very overprotective of her Dina, constantly chews pink bubble gum and pops it quite loud

Controlled by: Misaki-chan and Sakila

Name: Sordina (Dina)

Age: 16

Appearance: 5'4, pale skin, blonde wavy hair ending at the shoulder blades with her heir parted to the left, emerald eyes, grey sweatshirt with a white teeshirt underneath, black pants, black and white sneakers

Personality: Very quiet, rarely speaks, worrywart, rather dependent on her sister, smart, often unsure of herself, socially awkward

Controlled by: Misaki-chan and Sakila

[Misaki-chan 164]

(Sorry I've been so dead OTL Haven't had any ideas.)

-----

A screech of pain filled the room. Misaki, like almost everyone else, swiftly turned her head to see what had happened. The person that had been checking Sakila's temperature was swearing in the corner, clutching onto their hand. Drip. Drip. Drip. Blood fell onto the ground, forming a small puddle. The girl sat up from the chair and stretched lazily, as if nothing had happened, before standing up and running her tongue against her lips.

"Shut up."

Clearly annoyed, Sakila narrowed her eyes and turned around slowly, staring down her victim. "Touch me again, and it won't be your hand I stab."

The injured person glared at her but stayed quiet as she turned back around. As soon as she did, people slowly started to approach the victim, being sure to go cautiously so they would not end up as the next victim. Misaki was not one of them though. No, she was frozen. She wanted to help, but her limbs merely wouldn't move. The blood scared her. The scene scared her. Feya came over and gave her a comforting pat on the head. You don't need to help. It's fine. The others have it handled.

Her friend's touch was soothing and just the thing she needed to regain control over her body. She took a deep breath as she turned away from the sight, not wanting to look on any longer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting.”

A man entered the room as he announced his greeting.

“And you are…?” questioned Mark, a raised eyebrow accompanied with the question.

“I’m Chris, The general manager’s assistant. I’m responsible of introducing you to our gameshow, to the rules and how to play. Basically I’m your guide to this gameshow. But, while we wait for the general manager, why don’t you all introduce yourselves to me?” Chris said with a smile.

As soon as the introductions were completed, a new person had arrived.

“Hello, everyone!” said the old man. “I’m Randell, The general manager of this gameshow! Are you all ready for some action? I bet you are! So, to start off.. We’re gonna divide you into teams, each team would have 4 members. And since you are all twenty, we’re going to have five teams! And if you were wondering, you’ll choose your team members. I’m giving you two hours to choose and split up into teams. Good luck~”

And with a grin, he left the group with Chris following close behind. Small chatter arose in the room, with questions on what was going to happen and other smilier topics floating around.

"Misaki."

Said girl turned around, looking at the person who was saying her name. Sakila continued, "You're teaming up with me."

And with that, the girl left her to walk around. Misaki processed the request (more like demand), wondering if it was a good idea to go with her. She liked her, she really did, but she was really scary when she stabbed that person...

Misaki.

Once again, someone spoke her name. This time though, it was Feya, her alto-like voice calling her. As much as I hate to say this, we should stay with Sakila. For one, most of the groups have already been formed.

Misaki looked around and saw her friend was right. Most people were already grouped up, leaving little room for other options. And also, I'm sure she's just grumpy from a long flight and falling into that glass table. She hasn't exactly had the best day today.

Her mouth formed a small O as she considered what her friend had said. "I bet you're right!" she grinned happily. "I'm sure she'll feel better tomorrow and then the happy Sakila will be back~"

A small grin decorated her face as Feya watched her companion's mood go from unsure back to her happy self as she walked around looking for people to join her and Sakila's group. She was glad Misaki was happy again and wanted it to stay. Which is why she didn't voice her third reason as to why they should stay with Sakila.

Because who knows what might happen if they refused?

[Tsukiko 73]

Tsukiko watched Sakila and Misaki form a team with a pair of twins. Amber was already joined up with some other people. She turned to look at Mark. The boy/man looked back. And like in mutual understanding they both nodded. The core of the third team was formed now.

"Okay, what freaks shall we take in?" Tsukiko asked mostly to herself but noticed then a suitable person for their team. A girl with platinum blonde hair, skinny frame pale skin and even paler eyes. Tsukiko winked the girl closer and she obeyed.

"Hi!" The girl said quietly.

"Hello. I'm Tsukiko and this is Mark. What's your name?"

"Alice."

"Would you like to be in our team?"

"Why not."

"Excellent!"

(Okay, that was short. Very short. But I'll continue on Sunday when I'm back on my own computer. See ya ltr!)

[Not too fast, Tsukiko. If this blonde girl was a NPC I would need her bio plus another NPC. If you cannot give me their bios, I'm afraid I'll have to put you in another team and create the NPCs myself and as I like, unless Mark/Moho gives us the bios of the NPCs in your team? If he approved to be on it, in the first place. What do you say, Markie?]

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

"Hey kid!!! Stop!!! I said stop!!!" Skimpy yelled at M. "Don't you know you have to respect your elders!?"

M took a glance at her.

At most 10cm taller. Looks at the most 16. Skimpily dressed but chest size seemed small. At least smaller than hers. Cant be much older. A good guess. 15.

M analysed. With that, she continued walking away.

"Hey!!!!" Skimpy seemed quite agitated at M's attitude.

"Hey honey, don't be too angry, you'll get wrinkles."

"...humph..." the girl controlled her temper a little. "You!!!" she turned and yelled at the younger boy who jumped in shock. "If you don't want me I hit you, get me some drinks!!!"

"Ngghhhhh!" the boy retreated immediately and ran off to the long table.

All the people in the room have already gotten their team mates already and were helping themselves to the food provided. There was a huge variety of food from all over the world. Chicken, beef, pork, mutton, fish, duck, deer, rabbit, snail, seafood, even stuff like crabs, frogs legs, crocodile, eel, crickets, mice and bats (an exotic delicacy in some countries). There is also a variety of drinks, sodas and juice to choose from. Quite a spread. With so much, it makes it seem like it is the last meal of their entire life.

M wasn't attracted by the food at all, although she did express a little interest with the crickets and bats and mice meat, wondering whether it could be eaten. She tasted some herself to remember the taste. She also tried a little of crocodile meat. It was tough meat. It wa in soup and it was spicy.

Most people were busy trying and enjoying the food and some others were using this time to find out about their opponents, or doing some networking. M ignored all of this. She found a quiet spot in the corner, closed her eyes and rested.

I refuse. I was planning to be on a team with Akai Sera. However, no approval yet.

[mabel 59]

Kamila stared at the food in front of her.

What...Is..this? she thought, looking at the

food. She had never, ever seen such...strange food choices.

Crocodile meat? Deer? Escargo? BATS? She went for the chicken.

She is definitely not going to try those.

(I have nothing to write about right now...;___

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

(posting one post per day to refresh this thread.)

=====================

M closed her eyes to take a break and let her brain concentrate the energy on digesting the strange food that she had consumed. However, it seemed like someone else didn't allow her to rest.

"Boy!"

M didn't respond.

"Hey!!! You!!!"

"..." It caught a little of her attention. She wondered if the voice was calling out to her.

"How dare you ignore me! Hey!!!!" the girl attempted to kick M who immediately reacted, lifting her leg and moved onto the chair smoothly, avoiding her kick and resulting in her leg hitting the chair instead. "Oww!!!!" Skimpy flinched in pain.

"..." M stared at the girl while still squatting on the chair.

"You..." the girl forced a word out of her mouth despite still in pain. "Come here with me! We will need to establish some rules in our team!"

"...?" M didn't understand, but she still jumped off the chair and headed towards the direction of the other two.

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Do you think you're able to continue?

((Yeah, thanks. I think it's working right now))

Ash munched a cracker and watched everyone sitting or walking around in huddled groups. "Great, sitting alone again..."

She took a seat at the far end of a long table and put her bag of crackers back in her pocket, taking off her baseball cap. "..."
