❤️

after you got swimwear you had walked out to the main area of the beach, the others were shocked by the amount of people partying, as if they weren't going to die at any moment

you had a jacket in your hand, the swimsuit was a little too revealing for you, and you could feel the stares of the other four (shibuki had chosen to shield you with her body, glaring daggers at the four)

“it feels like we’re being watched” usagi said, making eye contact with momoka and asahi, we decided to go into what looked like the club area, it felt even worse than what was outside, there were bare naked girls and guys, just…doing whatever

“its a total escape from reality” shibuki said

suddenly a guy shouted, signaling the start of the games and everyone began pouring out, were they suicidal? they had started screaming excitedly, whats so exciting about death?

we got out with the crowd, the people were chanting hatter’s name as if he was a god, as he began to speak

“the time has come again” he started “do not falter! this is a war against fear! everyone here has the courage to overcome their obstacles, everyone here is now one! we shall gather together and collect all the cards, the day of our return, is upon us!” the crowd cheered

everyone started leaving, shouting to get in the car with your number, usagi and shibuki were together, and so were chota and karube, and you with arisu

“stay safe, you guys” karube said “don't die, and stick together if you can, we can’t let any of us be harmed tonight” the others nodded

arisu and i headed towards the game, ann was quick in walking in front of us, down to the phone stand, she started speaking as we picked up our phones

“this is a trial to see if you’re fit to be a executive member of the beach, i suggest you to do your best” she smiled in a cocky way

kuina walked up while arisu was distracted because the case was waterproof

she had a some kind of stick in her mouth, so her voice was muffled when she spoke “hi, im kuina, its nice to meet you guys” she held her hand out for you to shake, and then gave it to arisu

a guy walked in, informing ann about some water in the game arena, when he noticed us “youre the people from the tag game!” he said with happiness “youre alive?” arisu said “yeah! i help with-” ann interrupted him “save the greetings for later”

we walked into the main room, it was being slowly filled with water, our phones went off and explained the rules of the game, guess which lightswitch turned on the lightbulb, but you can’t see the bulb when you flip one, and if you cant get it in time, and you only have one chance, and if you lose you die, obviously

when the phone finished explaining the rules a girl touched one of the wires hanging from the ceiling

everyone chose to ignore it and tatta spoke “so we just need to find out which switch it is? ill head into the room first, we can take turns-” “the door wont close if you're inside” arisu said

ann explained more to him, and tatta seemed confused but started to talk anyway “okay then lets just turn switch a on with the door open?”

“what if thats the wrong answer? then we all die” arisu said
