《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 2, Part 2 - A Royal Visit

"Well, this is happening again," Willow said sadly.
"Let's talk about this," Joe suggested. The guests broke off into groups.
Joey, Thomas, Lauren, Lilly, Mark
"Who do we vote for?" Mark asked.
"I think maybe Nate. He really hasn't done much," said Lilly.
I know I'm being ruthless, but I just don't wanna die.
"I guess," Thomas said.
"Sure," Mark mumbled.
"You ok, Mark?" Lauren asked.
"He's my friend, I don't wanna vote for him," Mark said.
"Don't forget Phil. He hasn't done much either," Lilly said.
"Yeah," Mark said.
Dan, Phil, Willow, Lizzie, Sean
"What do we do?" Phil asked, "I think I heard someone mention me."
"Maybe, Nate. He hasn't done too much," Lizzie said.
"Don't forget about Stacy. She hasn't done too much either," Dan said.
"True," Willow said.
"It has to be one of them," Jack said.
"Just don't vote for Phil," Dan said. They share a smile.

"Ok. I wasn't intending to, anyway," Lizzie said.
Nate, Oli, Tiffany, Rosanna, Callum
"Honestly, Phil has to go. He has not helped us out. Actually, neither has Stacy," Oli keeps glancing at Nate as he talks.
I know Oli want to vote for me, Phil or Stacy, but I don't know who he'll choose.
"I honestly don't know. I'm thinking maybe we should get rid of the strong people first. They're the biggest threat and I'd rather go up against Phil or Stacy than someone like Joey. He knows what he's doing," Rosanna said.
"Good point, but I think we need him for a while. We can vote for him later if we need to," Callum said.
"True," Rosanna said.
"Have we all decided?" asked Nate. The group nodded.

Joel, Zoe, Sasha, Stacy
"I think we vote for Phil and Nate. They've done the least, they should prove themselves," Stacy said.
"You're right. They gotta go," Joey said, a little to aggressively.
"Ok, if you guys think we should," Sasha said.
I honestly want to vote for Phil, Nate or Stacy. They need to help out more. I know I haven't been the most helpful lately, but I think I've managed to fly under the radar this time, but I will have to help out more.
"Everyone, its time to vote. Oli, you go first," Alex said. Oli walked up to the front and gave Alex one of Phil's cards.
"I hate this," Dan moaned.
"It'll all be over soon," Willow said, more for her benefit that anything else.
"It still sucks. I really don't like voting on my friends," Thomas said.
"We'll have to deal with it for now. Just pretend they aren't dead. Pretend they've been transported to the future or something," Willow said.
"Does that work?" Phil asked, surprised.
"Its the only thing keeping me sane," Willow admitted.
One by one, the guests voted. It felt like an eternity for all the guests. They just wanted to know what was happening.
I'm really nervous because I feel like people will vote for me because I heard my name being mentioned a lot.
I haven't done a lot so I'm honestly expecting to be chosen.
I really hope no one realises that I haven't done much.
Lauren shuffled the cards and drew one.
"Phil."
Phil stared at the ground. Dan looked horrified, and also like he wanted to commit murder. The group exchanged looks and whispers, and quite a few people couldn't look Phil in the eye.

I'm literally going to kill whoever voted for Phil. He is a good person who doesn't deserve this. *looks into camera* Whoever voted for him is gonna pay if he doesn't come back.
"Nate."
He didn't look too surprised, but the group were. They exchanged glances and a few people faked gasps.
"Its time to go. I'm sorry," Alex said sincerely. Phil and Nate got up and followed Alex and Lauren. Their footsteps faded away.
"Ok, who the hell voted for Phil!" Dan shouted, making a few people jump. A few people shared guilty glances.
We had to vote for someone, and I think Phil has to prove himself. I feel horrible now.
Now I feel like a horrible person.
"Why!? He's a good person! He shouldn't do this damn challenge!" Dan fell back in the couch and stared up at the ceiling.
I really hope Phil comes back. Not that I want Nate to die, since I voted for him and my sanity can't handle that, but I really don't want to see what Dan will do if Phil doesn't come back.
"What do we do now?" Callum asked.
"We wait," Lilly said.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
