Ripped off of Beauty
" Listen Folks!" Robin Mack isn't sure if the man with a megaphone yelling up on the stage is sending a message or just ranting out. A group of protesters gathered under the scorching sun. Let us go back to paradise!Perfection is a lie!End that party games!Cancel Standford High!Wake up! It isn't a game but systematic murder Those were what was written on their placards. The voice of the man on a megaphone echoed amidst the streets again. " Folks! This isn't a normal world! We were once free people before the apocalypse! They say our planet's original name is Eden. This planet was originally a paradise, a beautiful garden until we all fell into a curse! But even now...we're not still breaking from it! And we will continue to lose our paradise as long as Jimmie Vaughn is alive!" The man ranted. Oh! Damn! Why did he say the forbidden word? Robin Mack thinks. Seconds later he saw men in uniform dragging the man with a megaphone, arresting him and the other protesters. Robin w

Party Dinner
It was still a puzzle until about where this game took them. Everything around them looks real in a simulated world. Sometimes they were instantly transported from place to place. The players haven't seen as high-tech system as what's inside this game world. Another thing is, they also begin to realize how freak the game author was. " Imagine how party games could be deadly now," Lizie whispered to Jiggs. Jiggs chuckled, " don't expect," he said looking around. "partying in the new world order isn't any more fun," Now the players are in their neat, elegant suits. The boys were on their ties and tuxedo, while some girls wearing cocktail dresses. The dinner prepared for them was elegantly fine. They were now in a modern, spacious, glass-walled room. There were waiters and chefs attending and serving them as if they were some VIP guests at a party. There is symphonic music playing in the air. The meal ambiance was relaxing. But of course, the players know all could just be a fine

Regret
Harpie curled herself on a bunk bed. The prison room she's in is secured with cemented walls and iron bars with just a single piece of furniture and a worn-out magazine on the side. She's been here for a month already. She heard that she was supposed to go out but something came up from the higher department. Actually, it's been months too since she has been married to Barry, and it's been months that she's been numb. She's at this point in her life where it's like she doesn't care about her life anymore. There are days when regret about leaving Carsen would sometimes cross her mind. Marrying Barry had given her all that she wanted. A new social class, money, and access to commodities and places she can't get into when she was still a Newman. She had thought that being a Castellan would solve all her problems, that a Castellan life is always fun, but she got the contrary. Life is even peaceful when she was stuck at the bottom. Barry Hansen, he's a nightmare of a daydream. How come sh

Puzzles - The Alien's Flute
" I only suspect one person to set this all up for Harpie but what's his motive?" Robin mumbled. He sighed, tapping the car wheel, thinking. " We're hitting a wall unless Lucas made a way, or if Carsen wins the game," Dash replied. There has been silence for a moment in the atmosphere. Both Robin and Dash looking out the car window, their mind must be somewhere, thinking. And then sighings. They both know that to destroy the new world order the man on top must be replaced, and Jimmie won't just back down. They know that, but to kill is like killing a god. The outsiders actually thought of assassinating him, but if they do that they will be forever viewed by the world as the devil. " How could the world believe that what we have now is perfection?" Dash muttered. " Because the Newmans and Flocks...we're getting everything we need for free, that's it!" Robin answered. " But..." he scoffed. " This entire planet looks like a prison...you see, we at the bottom wear the same cl

The Psychopath's Secrets And Past
A Flashback - Before The ApocalypseJimmie sat on his office chair facing the high glass wall, looking at the view from the top floor. His mouth curved in a sinister smile while his fingers relaxedly fidgeted on his chin. This is his real face. At this moment when no one is around, Jimmie looks like a cold happy heartless devil. Why it came late for me to realize, that you Carsen Adams... was that weakling kid in the slump. Now, I'm gonna make it hell for you. Jimmie thinks. He chuckled as memories flooded back to his mind. The crowds were yelling wild. Jimmie was just 13 years old he shouldn't be in a place like this, but he doesn't care. His mind and gaze were fixed on that barbed metal ring arena in front. That's all he cares about, the animal fighting, and his dad's favor. Why should he be scared if it's illegal for a kid to be here? His dad is with him. He's the one who brought him here. And he likes it. Jimmie remembers how he killed that bird whom his dad brought home one t

Vilgroi - The Alien With A Flute
The steady punches of his mother's sewing machine strike his attention. Carsen was so invested in the sight of her mom kicking the worn-out wheel of the sewing machine that has been there in their house since he was born. Her mom felt his presence. She smiled at her and paused from what she was doing for a while. She patted Carsen's head. That peaceful moment he had with her mom was suddenly interrupted when he heard an aircraft spraying dust from outside. Out of curiosity the child Carsen run to their yard despite his mother yelling. As if Carsen didn't hear anything, he just kept on running, his head tilted looking at the plane above until he tipped on something strange on the ground. It was a shiny long stick that looks like a weapon or a musical instrument. Carsen dusted off his pants and went to pick up the strange object, but before his fingertips could touch it, he heard his mother calling. " Carseeen!!" He turned and his mother's figure began to fade away. Carsen's eyes sna

Trial and Lies
" Harpie Allens, a Newman married to a Castellan, charged with homicide, how do you plead?" " Not guilty, your honor," The judge nodded and placed the file on her side, and called for another batch to be indicted. But then Dash enters the courtroom and is interrupted in the scene. " Your honor as per the privilege of Harpie Allens I'm here representing her as her lawyer," Dash announced as she entered. The judge's brow furrowed. " But she already got a lawyer," Dash raised the paper she was holding. " A special power for a Castellan council like me...and a lawyer," Dash said with confidence. And they all couldn't do a thing. They all just let Dash walk in and stand beside Harpie, while Harpie was still confused about what was going on, Dash just give her a wink. " I got you," Dash whispered. " Your honor, I want to make a request for my client to post a bail," Dash said. " But she got a special request from the higher..." " That's why I'm requesting that Ms. Allens co

Next Game - Two Truths And A Lie
"Whoaahhh! What a dream..." Jiggs murmured as he stretched his arms. Carsen avoided his gaze. He knows what Jiggs was referring to, glad that he thought those were just his dream. The sun was already up. Carsen took a deep breath and inhaled the air. It was another day in the game world. Good thing that after that dreadful dinner party they had been given a break. At least now they feel that the sun was real and that they're not in some kind of a virtual world. It was still a puzzle to him how they were able to be transported from place to place, or room to room. The person behind this game must be a tech geek. Carsen thinks. "Our guests...breakfast is ready. Please proceed to the pantry," A robotic voice was heard in the air. It was a different voice from the one that was giving instructions during the game. Guests? This is the first time they were called by that...what is going on? Carsen thinks. Technically, they were actually guests at the reunion party, and when the gam

The Diminishing Class and Triggered Memories
" Yes?" " RLPM ( Righteous League Police Mid Department)" Robin showed off his badge. " We're looking for an OB, Dr.Williams," The woman on the door furrowed her brows. " OB? There's not an OB here," she said. " How about Dr. Williams?" " Yeah, but... wait...are even legit?" The woman at the door began to sound doubtful. Dash interrupted. She showed her ID and flash her friendliest smile. Noticing that she's a Castellan, the woman's facial expression changes. " Dr.Williams is a psychotherapist," said the woman. Robin and Dash exchanged glances at each other, trying to hide their surprise. " Oh, well...yeah...just in time...I'm Dash Collins, a psychologist..." Dash said. " same field huh?" " yeah, we're both...disciples of science," Dash chuckled. She's trying to get the secretary's trust. Few conversations and the secretary let them in. Dash secretly gestured a thumbs up to Robin. Robin grinned back at her. " Please wait for a moment," Dr. William's clinic l
