《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 1, Part 2 - Let The Festivities Begin

E.g - This is what a confession will look like
The guests talked to each other for what felt like a whole night.
Dan, Willow, Thomas, Sean and Mark were talking next to a statue of a centaur.
"So, what are you?" Dan asked Willow.
"I'm the playwright. You've probably heard of me. I've travelled the world with my plays, that's where I got this dress. Europe," she replied.
"And I assume that's where the ego came from," Dan said. Everyone laughed.
"What are you guys?" Dan asked the rest of the group.
"I'm the jester, and I will tell as many bad jokes as I can by the end of tonight," Thomas said.
"God help us all," Willow said. They shared a short laugh.
"I'm the constable, so no stealing anything unless I'm in the other room," Sean said.
"I'm the clerk, and I don't have anything funny to say, so I won't," Mark said, which made everyone laugh.
"So what are you, Dan?" Willow took a drink after she asked.
"I am the blacksmith," Dan said, "which is probably the least cool thing in this group."
They all laughed at that.
Phil, Lizzie, Tiffany, Nate, Joe and Stacy were standing at the foot of the stairs.
"So, what are you guys? I'm the crafter, I make some beautiful things, like my headpiece," Tiffany said. They all complimented her on it.
"I'm the songwriter, for obvious reasons," Nate said.
"I'm the princess of the UK and my prince is Joel, and this crown isn't gonna last much longer," the group laughed as Lizzie adjusted the tiara.
"I'm the hound master and I wish I had my dogs right now, because it would actually make sense with this persona," Stacy earned another laugh from the group.

"I'm the carpenter for some reason," Phil took a drink, trying not to be so awkward. Joe lifted his helmet off.
"I'm the knight, I've fought in many battles, I'm actually the king's favourite knight, and this armour is so annoying," he said.
"I will be surprised if you made it through tonight in that," Stacy said.
"I'm wearing a suit under this, and I think I'll end up in that by the end of tonight," he replied. Everyone shared a small laugh.
Sasha, Lilly, Zoe and Rosanna stood near a corner in the room.
"So, what do you guys do?" Zoe asked.
"I'm the tailor, I probably made all your outfits, I am very well known. In fact, I made this outfit for tonight," the girls complimented Sasha and thanked her from their outfits jokingly.
"I'm the falconer, as you could probably tell, but I had to let her fly back home," Lilly said, staring off into the distance.
"I'm the baker, obviously," Rosanna said as she finished her drink.
"I'm the artist, and you might have heard of me if you've been to the UK. I'm very well known there," Zoe said.
Lauren, Yammy, Oli, Callum and Joel were talking in the middle of the room.
"Wait, before we get too drunk, what are you guys' roles?" Lauren asked.
"I'm the prince since Lizzie is my fiancé," Joel said, "and I really don't like this crown, its really annoying."
"I'm the medium, so if anyone wants their future told or their palm read, come to me," Yammy said.
"I'm the glazier, and if you have any ornate glass sculptures in your house, they were probably made by me. My work is known far and wide," Callum said.

"I'm the laird, which basically means I own land and I have money," Oli said, taking a drink, "this wine tastes a bit cheap."
The group laughed as Oli pulled a face of disgust at the 'cheap' wine.
"I'm the alchemist, although I'm not too sure why," Lauren said, swallowing her drink in one go.
"Tastes pretty damn expensive to me," Lauren locked eyes with Oli as she talked. The group laughed.
Human laughter is such a strange thing. I never did understand it. How do they have access to such emotions without harming or killing or doing anything like that. I suspect it shall always remain a mystery to me.
A gong rang and all the guests looked to the staircase, fully expecting to see Joey. Instead, they saw a young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a yellow ballgown. Next to her was a young man wearing a long, black coat with a red scarf around his neck.
"Hello, we are friends of Joey and we will be guests here tonight. He has asked us to greet you on his behalf as he is waiting for you in the dining room. We will show you where to go. Please follow us," said the young woman.
She made her way downstairs with the man following closely behind. The guests followed them down a corridor.
"I think I know them," Lilly whispered to herself. As Willow was leaving, someone grabbed her and dragged her away. The group heard the door slam and noticed her absence.
"Where's Willow?"
"We can't leave her."
We're terrible friends!"
"We have to find her."
"Listen!" The man shouted ,"we didn't want to tell you this yet, but we have to. I don't care if you don't believe me, because it's true. This house has been possessed by evil. You are all trapped here unless you find clues and partake in dark challenges. Tragically, someone must die at the end of each challenge for any hope of escape. Your friend has been taken by the evil because it needs to kill you all to grow stronger. I am Alex, and this is my girlfriend Lauren. We are merely ghosts. We were in your position once, and now we are here to help you. Come to the dining room. I'm sure you're first clue will be there."
The guests followed them to the dining room, and what they saw there was anything but what they expected (or maybe hoped) to find there...

The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too.
