Koshiro:*wiping her cheek*
Chika:*squirming*
Koshiro:will you stay still
Chika:but it stings
Koshiro:it's not supposed to be painless
Bunko:I take it those are your friends
Akira:yeah
Bunko:I'm glad you kicked some sense into him
Akira:it wasn't me
Bunko:hm
Akira:it was her and his efforts she snapped him out of it and he reached deep into his thoughts for the answer
Bunko:I see
Koshiro:if you sit still I'll give you chocolate
Chika:really
Koshiro:yeah so sit still
Bunko:you had an invite because it was your first game but you can always choose not to go
Akira:so it's like a quest
Bunko:yeah but you have to go on your 10th day unless you want to die
Akira:I see then we'll be fine
Bunko:you sure that you don't need me to come along
Akira:we'll be fine besides we go back and he's smarter than he looks
Koshiro:I won't put a bandaid on it you'll be fine without it
Chika:thank god it hurts to take those things off
Koshiro:but I could just rip it off
Chika:no don't do that
Koshiro:heh I like that look better
Chika:you're so mean
Koshiro:*sits down* I guess this is life now
Chika:hm
Koshiro:not like I care I think this world suits me better
Chika:but don't you wanna go back
Koshiro:what would be waiting for me if I do there's nothing I really enjoyed that much
Chika:but you can live freely without almost dying like yesterday
Koshiro:I don't have anywhere to go
Chika:nonsense you can live with me
Koshiro:yeah I'd rather stay here
Chika:come on I'm being nice besides don't you want to see some-
Koshiro:*covers her mouth* don't finish that sentence
Chika:*smiles*
Koshiro:besides I don't know your family I only know you
Chika:I can always make up a story like you got kicked out or something
Koshiro:nah
Chika:besides you don't deserve to suffer especially in a fake world like this
Koshiro:heh *reaches out* when I meet the game master I'm gonna punch him in the face one good hit that's all I want I don't care if I die
Chika:then if you don't plan on living let's do it together
Koshiro:yeah
Chika:*grabs his hand* I don't think it would be as fun if you died
Koshiro:I wonder if it even rains in this fake world
Chika:who knows
Koshiro:hey lady
Bunko:I have a name you know
Koshiro:yeah whatever so is there levels to this place
Bunko:I don't know I've only ever played a couple games
Koshiro:and are there ever games where only one or two people will survive
Bunko:yeah my first game was like that I was the only one who survived
Koshiro:I see so there are games that will push your faith in friends
Chika:Koshiro
Koshiro:then I'll make sure that one of you guys if not all of you survive till the end
Akira:*smiles* that's just like you always thinking of others and never yourself
Koshiro:yeah
Akira:if you were given a chance to be god you would say no and give it to the person most important to you
Koshiro:yeah because god can suck it well in this case the game master and if it's a women then they can kiss my ass
Chika:I feel like those are both things you'd want
Koshiro:shut up
Akira:what are we supposed to do in the meantime
Koshiro:we should go look for more people
Akira:yeah it's clear there are others in these games like us
Koshiro:so we should band together to find freedom from this hellhole
Akira:yeah
Koshiro:you two okay with staying back
Chika:we're doing that later anyway
Koshiro:okay let's go Akira
Akira:yeah
Both:*walk off*
Koshiro:*puts his hands in his pockets*
Akira:so then do you think you'll find some meaning in this world
Koshiro:yeah I think so
Akira:then I'll pass it on to you
Koshiro:what
Akira:take my spirit so if something happens to me I can trust that you won't breakdown and give up
Koshiro:you can trust me
Akira:alright
Koshiro:especially for Chika and that lady's sake I won't lose a single game
Akira:that's what I like to hear
Koshiro:we should check a few more stores
Akira:yeah
Koshiro:we should only grab necessities and the things needed
Akira:yeah
Koshiro:let's also look for weapons
Akira:yeah I already got that covered
Koshiro:hm
Akira:I got a pocket knife for myself
Koshiro:what about me
Akira:what could you even use I mean do you even know how to fight
Koshiro:I said I was going to punch the game master in the face
Akira:he probably wouldn't have to flinch for your puny fists
Koshiro:are you really starting this right now
Akira:go ahead I won't hit back
Koshiro:*turns and strikes*
Akira:*grabs his wrist*
Koshiro:*kicks*
Akira:*steps back* you call that stiff leg a proper kick
Koshiro:*starts striking*
Akira:*deflecting the punches* now you're just flailing your arms
Koshiro:*goes for a headbutt*
Akira:*headbutts him* not that easy
Koshiro:ow! What is your head made out of steel?!
Akira:not at all I just stepped in before you got the distance so it doesn't hurt as much
Koshiro:what
Akira:you shouldn't worry about fighting unless it's inevitable if anything focus on your brain and think a way out of it
Koshiro:yeah sure
Akira:besides I'll handle it all as long as I'm here with you guys
Koshiro:*smiles* yeah you're right
*afterward*
Chika:*laying on the grass* first thing I'm doing when I get back to the real world is getting some good food
Koshiro:is that all you think about
Chika:well that's most of it
Koshiro:of course
Akira:*looks at his phone* it's time we get going
Koshiro:*gets up* alright
Chika:make sure to come back in one piece okay no missing limbs or scars I don't want to see any of it *smiles*
Koshiro:don't worry I'm confident
Both:*walk off*
Akira:do you know what the location is
Koshiro:let me check *looks at his phone* huh
Akira:what
Koshiro:it's the school again
Akira:even after all the darts and turret guns
Koshiro:I have a feeling the school is gonna be a common location
Akira:I guess we just stand in the lobby
Koshiro:obviously
*in the lobby*
Both:*walk in*
Daitan:*stretching her legs*
Kenji:*sitting against the wall in a hoodie*

Announcer:registration closed
Man 1:it's starting
Announcer:the game is press with a difficulty of 5
Man 2:shouldn't be all too hard
Announcer:the rules are simple you must press the button in a classroom within the time limit or you can have one person tag the tagger within the time limit
Koshiro:(so we're timed on this)
Announcer:the time limit is 30 minutes and you will be rewarded 5 lives in your life count upon completion and the penalty is a loss of 5 lives from your life count and a game over

Koshiro:we need to focus on the classroom the tagger is a last resort
Akira:yeah I know what you mean
Man 1:what do you think will happen if the timer runs out
Koshiro:we'll probably all die but I'm sure that guy sitting against the wall knew that already
Akira:I see
Koshiro:we don't know what classroom the button is in
Akira:and there's too many classrooms to check individually even if we split up
Koshiro:we'll check the even numbered rooms only
