"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 story is always inconsistent. Last week you said that you were raised in Mississippi - the only consistent thing about you is that you're Russian."
"Alright then." Seth starts heading out of the room again, Nixon stopping him before he could open the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I noticed that there were new people and I also noticed that there were some girls coming in from behind one of the two other guys who just got here."
"No..."
"Yes!"
Seth shoves Nixon's hand off of him and runs out, Nixon clicks his tongue, sitting onto one of the beds in the room. the instant Nixon sits down someone knocks on the door. He lets out a long sigh, getting back up from the bed and opening the door. Melissa is there, hiding something behind her back.
"Hello!"
"Ummm...? Are you one of the new neighbors?"
"Yes! Nice to meet you. My name is Melissa Ambrosia, you?" She puts the handout, waiting for a handshake.
"Nixon Driver." He shakes her hand.
"Nixon'... that's a nice name." She looks him up and down and gives him a grin. She takes out a wine bottle that she had hidden. "Want to drink?"
Nixon chuckles lightly. "Sure..."

Seth locks onto Svilanka who is currently lounging with one of the maids in the Lobby. Alina assisting one of the chefs in the kitchen and the man at the counter reading the same book as before.
Svilanka turns to the maid, "What's your name?"
"Call me Maid, just Maid."
"Why?"
"I don't like my real name."
Seth cuts in, "What are you two doing?"
Maid jumps up and points at Seth. "You're the guy who has his eyes on our Alina!"
"You're not wrong," Seth pauses. "But I also have my eyes on the both of you too."
Svilanka whistles and Maid starts laughing.
"Sorry! I'm a lesbian dude!"
"Oh shit, that means we have something in common."
"What're you guys doing?" Yua asks, coming into the lobby behind them. Svilanka gets up from one of the couches to look at Yua.
"This girly looking guy was about to try and flirt with me."
"Can you blame me?" Seth cuts in, turning to Maid.
"No, I cannot," Maid responds, getting up and running to the kitchen.
Seth goes to look at Yua as she continues: "Svilanka."
"What?'
"There's something in the room you need to do."
"Like what."
"Just go."
Svilanka shrugs, hopping over the couch and heading back to their room. Yua glares at Seth and leaves, following behind Svilanka. "Damn..."

"My roommate might come back soon..."
"You don't have to worry about him right? I'm sure he'll know when somethin' is happening here."
Legs wrapped around Nixon facing him on his lap.
"Let's have fun."
***
"Never would have thought that Nix would fuck..."
The man behind the counter drops his book in confusion as Seth sits in a chair pointed to a counter, idly contemplating. "What?"
"One of the chicks is having sex with my friend in our room."
"I saw you, all you did was walk over to the door and stop, then immediately came back, how do you know that?"
"...."
"Doesn't even matter."
"How did you know I didn't enter? How could you see me if you were sat down at the counter the whole time?"
"I wasn't, I went over to look. I like seeing what people do after coming from the lobby from time to time."
"You must be very good at sneaking up behind people."
"I used to be a pickpocket."
"What's your name?"
"Call me Caçador."
"Hmmm..."
"What?"
"So you go by a title as well?"
"What do you mean?"
"That one Brazilian girl in 102 also had a title. It was 'Hermit' in Portuguese and you're 'Hunter'."
"Yep."
"Are you guys Capoeiristas?"
"Hmmm!? What makes you think that?" Caçador chuckles.
"Capoeiristas that I've met only called themselves by their nicknames, especially the ones involved in a gang."
"Hmmm... you're insinuating a lot right now."
"Let me confirm something. I 100% believe that you two are Capoeiristas, the fact you two might be in a gang is in the 10% bracket."
"What makes it 10%?"
"I'm pretty sure you aren't in a gang, but I'm more suspicious of Eremita."
"Eremita?"
"The Brazilian Woman."
"Okay, would it be bad if we were in a gang though?"
"Nope, just as long as you didn't know who I was beforehand."
"That's suspicious." Caçador chuckles, Seth gives him a smile.
"What to do..."

"It was good while it lasted..."
Melissa stands over Nixon, half-naked, gun in hand. She gives out a sigh, redressing herself. Nixon is riddled with bullet holes. Two shots in his chest and one on the right side of his head. Blood spreads across the bedsheets.
"I guess 102 is next..."
"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
Nixon, covered in his own blood, Seth over him in their room, trying to fix his wounds. Taking out the bullets through cutting open a bigger hole and using pliers to take the bullets out.Nixon screams in pain with each pull, blood pouring over Seth's hands."FUCKING HOLD IN THERE NIX!"Seth sloppily pours alcohol over Nixon's wound, pouring another layer of peroxide over it. Nixon thrashes about wildly, kicking Seth in the process. Seth grits his teeth, holding the pain of being hit in, trying his best to hold Nixon down."STAY STILL!" Seth gives a good sock in the jaw to Nixon, knocking him out instantly.Seth sits in silence for a couple of seconds, trying to catch his breath. "Now I have to sew his fucking wounds..."Someone knocks on their door, coming in without hesitation since the door was unlocked.Eremita comes in, "Do you need my help?"Seth calmly turns around. "What?""I'm tired of the screaming and you guys
