## Chapter 1
### Trial Start
#### [Day 14 - 1:00 PM] - [ALL] - Dining Room
The players are gathered in the dining room for a late brunch on day fourteen. Despite all of the fear and consternation caused by learning the true rules of the game, there was also a boredom that led people to gather on occasion.
"Hard to believe that we're already two weeks into this!" Felix says cheerily.
"Say, should we switch roommates? New roomies could be fun!"'
"Yeah! Cool!"
"Oh, sure, we could do that."
"Do we really have to move?
"This certainly sounds interesting!"
The group decides to randomly draw their rooms, and Rebecca does the drawing by ripping up four colored index cards and putting them into her bag and holding it out for the others to stick their hand in and grab one. Red would be room 1, yellow room 2, and so on.
In the end, the following rooms were chosen:
Room 1 - Ava, Lyric, Decker, Sara Bella Room 2 - Yutaro, Rosemary, Rebecca, Felix Room 3 - Cole, Dae, Jackson Room 4 - Raphael, Hisoka, Anastasio, A-SH
"Shit! I can't believe this..."
"Nice, time to try out a new bed!"
"Sorry, Jackson, better luck next time, huh?"
The players disperse and move away.
#### [Day 18 - 6:00 AM] - [Raphael] - Room 4 - SECRET
Raphael wakes up, feeling ants crawling on her. She sits up, with a quiet groan. Feeling antsy (literally) she walks over to the window and opens it. Under the moonlight and cool summer night air, she can make out a little metal walkway... one that hugs the side of the building and has vines growing on it. It seems to be a fire escape.
Raphael jumps onto the fire escape and closes the window behind her.
It's hard being in here on her own. Were people lying to her? Is there anyone she can trust? It had been harder to make allies than she thought, and her current room is strangely unfriendly.
She walks back and forth on the fire escape for a bit, trying to calm herself.
She looks around and sees in the dim light of the dawning sun that there appears to be something sticking out of the walkway, a little point near the building. She decides to investigate it, seeing if she can loosen it from where it's lodged.
Pop! Bang! Creeeeeeeeeak!
Raphael panics as the fire escape begins to tear away from the building. She grabs the windowsill nearest her and does her best to keep the walkway close to the building. It feels like the whole thing just came apart. That piece of metal was keeping the fire escape together.
Raphael takes the piece of metal and jams it between a crack in the bricks that the railing of the walkway rests on. It's clear that the walkway is unstable, but for the time being it's balanced in place. She moves carefully along the side of the building back into her room and goes to sleep.
#### [Day 18 - 4:00 PM] - [ALL] - Dining Room
"My roommate is having a birthday soon. We can afford a little celebration, even if we get some points for it." Rebecca says one day while everyone is in the dining room, shoveling down some freshly grilled linner steaks.
"Whose birthday?" Anastasio says, their eyes twinkling.
"No thanks," Hisoka says quietly.
Rebecca points at Yutaro who looks sheepishly at his plate, "I don't really need a party."
"Nonsense!" Lyric cries, "Oh what a chance it would be to celebrate your special day. Are you twenty-one?"
"He'll be nineteen tomorrow evening!" Felix says excitedly.
Rebecca nods, "Simply put, although everyone wishes to do this or that, I am interested in having a party for him. I've made a list of who should do what to help prepare. Sara Bella, Felix, Ava, Raphael, and Decker should work in the kitchen. We want a cake and a pasta dinner. Rosemary, Dae, Jackson, and Anastasio should prepare a fireworks display. And everyone else can help by decorating the sitting room for us to party in. Sound good? Start preparing tomorrow at 3 PM. Party starts at 8 PM."
Everyone agrees to Rebecca's plan and goes about the rest of their days.
#### [Day 19 - 1:00 PM] - [Jackson|Hisoka|Raphael|Yutaro] - Room 4
The door to room 4 opens and Jackson walks in. He looks worse for wear. Tired, weary, anxious. Hisoka and Raphael are in there quietly sitting. Yutaro is also in there, cleaning for some reason.
"There's still residue from that foam..." Yutaro grumbles.
"I didn't get any sleep last night," he whines, his eyes looking dead.
"Tell me about it. I've only gotten a few hours every day since we last switched rooms. I might kill room one if they keep me up on my birthday too," Yutaro says, apparently quite bitter.
Lotus sobs, "Oh please! Let us sleep in peace!" Hisoka rolls his eyes, but they look tired as well.
Raphael looks bleary-eyed as well, "Yeah, I think I'm going to take a nap before we have to start preparing stuff.
Jackson nods, "I'm not going to help anyone! Not with how things are going recently. Sorry to the birthday boy but I'm going to sleep! I'm going to go crazy if I don't sleep!" He stomps out of the room, leaving the others to continue what they are doing quietly.
#### [Day 19 - 3:00 PM] - [Sarabella|Felix|Ava|Raphael|Decker] - Kitchen
Sara Bella, Felix, Ava, Raphael, and Decker go to the kicthen and begin working to bake the lasagna and side dishes. In addition, they have to prepare the cake. Everyone is very cleanly and washes their hands.
Sara takes the lead on making the lasagna, after making preparations, they pop the dish into the oven.
Ava then takes the lead on making a salad with an over-complicated and overly-sweet dressing that takes everyone nearly an hour for no reason.
The first lasagna comes out of the oven burnt, so a second lasagna needs to be created, this time Raphael takes the lead on it.
Decker and Felix are the architects of the cake. Unfortunately, they are all out of eggs, but Decker knows an eggless recipe. It has three layers and they are shoulder-to-shoulder throughout the whole thing. From baking, to frosting, to icing the top with Yutaro's name. They also put on the candles in a nice and artful way.
They also find a lighter in the kitchen and put it with the food as they go upstairs with the plates, glasses, and everything. They all make it upstairs around 8:00 PM. #### [Day 19 - 10:00 PM] - [Raphael|Rosemary] - Room 1 - SECRET
Raphael and Rosemary stand in room 1 just chatting very idly, glad to be out of the heat of the party. Suddenly, smoke begins to billow through the door to room 1.
"Those bloody shits, what are they up to now?" Rosemary says, glancing upward. She opens the door and sees that the sitting room is covered in points of fire. The smoke isn't too thick yet, but it's dangerous to navigate.
Raphael clutches at her throat, mouth agape, "Fuck, someone's going to die."
Rosemary, whose casual demeanor immediately evaporated at sight of the fire looks at Raphael. "What do you mean by that?" She's careful not to yell too much at Raphael, who looks very sickly. "Don't breathe in smoke!"
"I know not to breathe in smoke!" Raphael says sternly back and drops to the ground. "I know everything! I ruined the fire escape there's no way out of here!"
Rosemary looks fearfully at Raphael, "Wait so... Where do we go? It's too high to jump from the balcony!"
Raphael chuckles, "Maybe I deserve to die then."
Rosemary grabs hard onto Raphael, "Shut up. Shut your mouth. Even if you did kill someone, it's better to try and live with that then to give up now. This show is meant to break your spirit. We're going to get the hell out of here and then we're not going to tell anyone what you did, okay?"
Raphael weakly nods and the two of them go into the firey sitting room. The way downstairs is blocked by flames. They see the door to room 2 is open and a window is open there as well. They crawl over there and look out the window and see a fire escape. They both head down it and to the front of the garden.
### Investigation Group 2 - [Hisoka|Raphael|Decker|Ava|Cole]
#### Foyer
Nothing of interest.
#### Bathroom
By the washing machine is a heavily stained and stinky set of men's pajamas. Smells like rotting food.
tucked under the sink is a thin bedroll. It also has a terrible smell and some stains.
#### Game Room
Nothing of interest.
#### Kitchen & Dining
Inside the oven is a coating of white, waxy substance on the bottom of it.
There is an empty bottle of spirits sitting on the counter.
In the far back of the fridge there is a single lunch that someone made. It is no more than a day old. It contains a fried egg, two steaks, and a porkchop.
#### Reading Nook
A blue lighter sits on the ground covered in ash.
A large pile of ash sits in the middle of the room. It's clear to see that the ash was once pages. All the shelves are empty and charred.
All around the room are points of heavier burning, including in the game room and the shop.
There is some ashes resembling cardboard here.
#### Shop
Several orders were put in today, but only two seem to have been taken by whoever got them. The other things (snacks, games, etc.) are burned.

[#spoiler] [Day 45 - 11:00 AM] - [Rosemary|Raphael|Ash] - Boat House Rosemary, Raphael, and Ash are all eager to take out a boat. They go to the boathouse and bring out the motor boat.
"Come on, let's just go out there and enjoy," Rosemary says, glancing at Raphael and Ash.
Raphael nods, "Yeah, could be good to just enjoy the weather, as stupid as that sounds. It should help me... I feel like everything was a month ago now, but it's also very fresh."
Ash stays relatively quiet and urges the others to step into the boat.
Then, the crew is off, driving quickly across the water. Rosemary, drives, smiling to herself as she does.
Raphael starts to giggle about twenty minutes into the trip. It's very hot outside, maybe she's getting heat stroke? Rosemary can feel it too, some sort of giddy feeling. Ash nods, in recognition that it's very hot.
Suddenly, Rosemary takes a turn by the shore and smacks into a large rock sticking out of the water. The world goes topsy turvy for the three of them and then... [/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Investigation] [Day 45 - 12:00 AM] - [Rebecca|Raphael|Anastasio] - Winery, Garage, Cabin The Garage is normal, nothing inside is particularly suspicious.
In the freezer in the winery, there's a big pile of shattered glass and an empty crate. There's also a pool of liquid.
There are a set of crates in a pile in the middle of the room containing some foodstuff.
The wine rack looks like it's been picked over with some bottles being conspicuously missing.
A tiny camera is facing the shop desk.
The banquet area has an empty bottle of wine in it.
One of the windows on the balcony has been dusted by someone. It can be opened and it's right above the rocky lakeshore and water.
They head back to the cabins to investigate and find that a bunch of chopped vegetables are in the kitchen trash along with flour and chunks of dough.
There are also crushed beer cans in the trash and an empty liquor bottle.
Sara's bunk is completely made and all her stuff is still on it.
The rooms are mostly normal, although at the last second they find that each sleeping room has a camera in it. [/spoiler]

Raphael is pretty unimportant to the chapter but I will for sure have her lots in the next one. Figured she needs a break after chapter 1.
