"Hi, we're gonna be your neighbors." Seth stands awkwardly as Michael tries interacting with him. Logan breaks the silence with a clap, heading into room 105. "Ummm... so do you know where the person in 104 is?"
"No..."
"I see..." Michael cracks his neck, clicking his tongue, and trying to think of something to continue their conversation.
"I'll be going now."
"Right." He snaps his fingers a bunch, heading into the room with Logan. Seth walks past them, back into his room with Nixon, who is following behind him with food in hand.
"What are you doing out here?" Seth jumps, spinning around to look at Nixon.
"Went to greet the other tenants."
"Right, well, I got you... your meat jelly..." Nixon quietly gags. handing Seth the covered plate.

"The girls will probably get settled before us so let's make a plan here." Michael starts the conversation, Logan sitting on the couching propping himself up with both arms. "I'm definitely going to have to remind you again so I'll just do it now. We need to lay low, don't tell anyone what we're here for, no matter how trustworthy they are and do not even dare open up the windows for any reason. Got it?"
"Why can't I open the windows?"
"If you wanna live, then its best not to. On our side of the hotel, it's pointing to an open area. In that open area, there are abandoned buildings about 10 km away from us there," Michael waits for Logan to piece the rest together but Logan sits idly, trying to understand what Michael is implying.
"Nah... I don't get it."
"Do you even know who we're being chased by?"
"Who cares! We could take them down easily. We have a-"
"Not out loud!" Michael yells, cutting Logan off.
"Why? It's not like anyone is listening in?"
Michael lets out a long sigh. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Michael slams his head against Logan's, who recoils onto the bed he's on, rolling in pain. Michael grits his teeth, rubbing his forehead. "Everyone except the girls is our enemy here! We will consider them as such until otherwise proven to be the opposite!"
"How do we even prove that!?"
"We don't! Just don't talk to anyone except the maids or something! Don't forget, we have neighbors too! We don't even know if they're here for us or not, so keep your guard up and think a little!"
"Fuck... fine."

"Finally, some rest..." Svilanka throws herself onto one of the beds while Yua and Melissa unpack.
"You need to help us too. Tomorrow we're going to that 'place' y'know?" Yua says, throwing clothes next to Svilanka who was currently rubbing her face into the sheets.
"Jap, hand me the... the thing." Melissa butts in.
"What!?"
"Sorry, let me correct myself. Oriental, give the thing."
"Don't fucking call me that, and what 'thing'!?"
"You know... the thing."
"You mean... the fucking gun!?"
"Yeah that, gimme it."
"Just say gun!"
"Its quite a drab word, is it not?"
"Who cares? Just call it what it is!"
"Then give me the Suppressed, M1911."
"That's too much, just say pistol or something."
"Now we're being inconsistent? You said 'gun' earlier didn't you? What made you change it to 'pistol'?"
"Why are you like this?" Yua turns to Svilanka who has already wrapped herself completely in blankets. "Are all greeks like this?"
"I'm sure that's more a Spaniard and Roman thing," Svilanka says, muffled by the blankets wrapped around her. "Or it might be a Latin thing in general. I've encountered a lot of racist Latin people in my time in Europe."
"Yeah, except she's not Latin."
'Bang~'
Yua jumps. Melissa mimicked shooting Yua in the head with the gun, putting it away shortly after being caught.
"You scared the shit out of me. Couldn't you have just waited until I gave it to you?"
"Nope... I wanna kill one of those pretty guys in 103!"
"So you fought against some pale guy in 104 and 'accidentally' killed him?" Nixon asks, taking a bite of a salad he has in hand."Why did you put 'accidentally' in quotes?""Because I know you don't do things on accident.""Well, I'll have you know, he attacked me first!""Did the pale guy have pitch-black eyes and long grey hair?""Yes.""I'm pretty sure I've heard of someone like that once, but most likely that dude was a druggy who accidentally kept his door open. You know, bath salts and stuff?""Do bath salts make you capable of destroying walls and give you the muscle mass similar to that of a 300-pound wrestler in their prime?""Probably.""I'm sure bath salts make you more like some, rabid homeless man cradling the face of some poor young worker boy down in the south.""Why the south?""All the nutcases live there! I was raised in Texas after all.""I've known you for a long time and your sto
"Trying to kill me didn't work out very well did it?"Melissa looks around her, composing herself, she looks over to Nixon. "Where are we?""A theme park.""I thought... I killed you.""You almost did... but I don't trust anyone. Not even my own friends. My guard is always up for any situation, which is why you are here. Does your neck hurt?""Yes...""Might bruise. I disarmed you and then choked you out with my belt. I almost killed you but I made sure to release it just before your windpipe fully shut so you could pass out.""Why have you taken me here?""To ask you a few questions.""Right... ask away then." Melissa tries moving, but she is bound tightly by ropes. "Not like I have much of a choice in rejecting your questions.""Okay..." Nixon pauses, thinking of a question, and looking down below."I just realized we're on a Ferris wheel.""Yeah, had to make sure that it stopped us at the highest
"Where did Melissa go?" Logan asks, loosely hanging from the door to the girl's room. Svilanka shrugs, and Yua ignores Logan. Logan jumps, spinning to look behind him, Seth tapped him on the shoulder, which startled him."Nice to meet you all... can we talk?"***"Are you on the phone right now?" Caçador ignores Maid, turning around in his chair, continuing to speak to whoever he is on the phone with. Alina comes in from the outside with a broom in hand, setting away some dirty shoes she was wearing aside near the door. Alina notices Caçador and looks over to Maid expectantly.Maid shrugs, curiously heading to the hotel rooms.After a couple of minutes, Caçador hangs up. "Shit...""Who was it?""It was the boss. He's coming."Alina drops the broom, eyes widened in surprise. Her surprise turning into a grim expression, looking as if she were anemic."Fuck me..."***An hour has passed si
Somewhere else in a different part of the world. A Volkswagen drives up to a motel in the middle of a desolate desert.Nevada, Las Vegas.A man comes out from the car, he's wearing a hoodie with a coat layered over it with fingerless gloves. He has long greasy black hair, he has a long scar going from his beard to his eye. He licks his dry lips and continues limply to the back of his car, opening the trunk. He takes something from the trunk and heads to the main counter to the motel.A young woman wearing a red sweater sits at the counter, she appears to be chewing on a piece of gum. The young woman notices the man and asks why he was there."Do you know an Alpha and Artego here?"She confirms that the people he is referring to are at the motel and are living on the second floor, three rooms down. The man thanks the woman, heading back outside and up the stairs.He knocks on their door. The sound of panic, frantic yelling, and thudding, like
"So she was killed by a sniper?" Yua asks Seth."Yes," Seth pauses, scanning the room. "I want to ally myself with all of you. Help you get this ебарь off your back." (ебарь means cunt-chaser in Russian.) "Our reasoning for wanting to ally with you all is for one reason and one reason only. We want to do a clean sweep against all of those who want me and my buddy Nixon dead.""What do you mean by that?" Logan cuts in."Before I tell you more, there is someone very dangerous coming to the hotel and is after almost everyone's head. The only ones I know for sure aren't being hunted is," Seth points at them."Wait, so that means...""Nixon and I are being hunted by multiple people, either to capture us or kill us. Escravos is here to kill us, and someone named the Balrog is here for the same reason, the government is here to capture us and or take what we have from us.""Wait! The government!?" Svilanka yells, startled by what he said and sort o
Nixon... he never managed to hit Balrog. His reactions were too fast and perfectly distributed the damage so he wouldn't get hurt. Nixon couldn't do anything but curse under his breath.BANG!!A gunshot through the wall, Balrog drops to the floor, firing back into the wall beside him. Another gunshot rings out from the other wall, dropping Balrog to the floor completely, unable to fire back, he puts pressure on his wounds."Finally found a fucking fault."Both Seth and Johan from room 104, both on behind both sides of the hallway's walls. Seth runs out of the room, firing the rest of the magazine into Balrog. "Where did the other shot come from?"Nixon shrugs, kneeling down to Balrog, looking through things he had. "This was too easy...""Yeah, compared to last time it was too easy.""Why...?Nixon's eyes widen, he's realized something. He quickly turns around to tell Seth...It was a realization that was almost
"I will now tell you everything that you need to know." Three people are gathering in this room, a glass wall separating them from the rest of an office filled with people. A woman and a man sitting in front of another man's desk. This man is a famous detective by the name of Vanity Brown. A title that he gave himself to make himself seem like a crazy person to most, helped him not be noticed by unwanted people. A man who has been following the entire situation between everyone in the hotel since he was nineteen years old.This man and woman sitting in front of him are the people who interviewed both Nixon and Seth, including multiple people who were still in the hotel at the time. Their names are, Lory Fasbender and Kirk Bradley."Are you ready? This is gonna take a while.""It's fine," Lory says, preparing a cigarette."Alright then, let's go." Vanity adjusts his collar. "The date in which both Seth Alpheus Hunt and Nixon Driver were born is unknown. It
A dimly lit room surrounded by darkness. Three people sit in this room, two of them passed out in chairs, hands tied behind their backs and feet tied to their chairs. Yua, Logan, and an unknown man with long black hair and sideburns. He has a coarse face and is considerably large.Yua is the first to wake up, quickly scanning the room and making sure not to panic. She is confused though. She notices Logan and wonders how they got there, showing immediate concern for the mysterious man with them, her worry wasn't directed towards the man though, she was worried about what this man could do to them. She stops worrying when she realizes his hands and feet are bound like Logan and her.Yua looks over to Logan and shouts, "LOGAN! WAKE UP!"Logan jumps up in his seat, startled by the sudden loud noise, immediately bringing his attention to Yua. "What's going on?""I have no clue."Logan looks over to the other man, still sleeping. "Who is he?""I
