Setting
Robert
It was a day like any other. Robert had returned to the scene of his accident for closure as he had done many times before. But suddenly as he stood there by the quiet roadside his surroundings seemed to change. He no longer felt the breeze blowing against him or birds in the trees. Everything was very silent and very still. It almost felt like he was indoors. There was an eerie silence before he heard a nearby voice. "Hello, is someone there? Can you tell me where I am? I can't seem to find my way out." The voice called, sounding distressed by trying to remain calm.
Eunace
Eunace was at the side of the road preparing to do some writing, but as she walked along the path something didn't seem quite right. She'd been walking for ages but she hadn't reached the end of the road. It usually didn't take this long. Looking back the beginning of the road could not be seen so she must have been a good way through the journey, but looking ahead the end of the road was not in sight. Come to think of it, no cars had passed in nearly 10 minutes. It was a quiet road, but today it was too quiet.
You may both proceed at your own pace...
"Uuugh, my head..." Eunace rubbed her forehead. "I really should stop walking while writing..." she moaned while slowly oppening her eyes.
"Where... am... I?" She thought.
Her surroundings seemed like an unknown house.
"Am I kidnapped? Then why am I not tied to something? What happened?" Eunace quickly stood in a sitting position.
"Hello?" she shouted, but quickly went silent.
"No! Better not cause noise. I better get out of here. This really is a good material for my article, though..."
Eunace was looking ofr a way out, yet she couldn't help but be impressed by the variety of the house. Soon, she started writing in her notebook while walking.
"No, no. . ." He started saying frantically as he tried the handle over and over, only to come to the horrible conclusion that it was indeed locked. He walked toward the voice he heard. He could have sworn however that he was still outside. . . But obviously he was indoors. Inside of a strange house. . . How many people were in here with him?

"Somebody's nearby!" she thought. "That's probably the person who got me inside... or just someone who lives here. I better find a way before this person finds me..."
The girl started to tip-toe slowly in the opposite direction of the voice she heard. Once she was several rooms away, she started running and slamming the doors open. After around half a minute she opened a door that led her to a brown-haired boy.
So, obviously that was not his captor unless they were planning on running into him and murdering him right now. Although to Robert that sort of thing seemed altogether pointless.
"What's going on?" She thought.
"Excuse me..." she spoke. Do you live here?
"Robbie. You can call me Robbie." Robert said shyly. In all honesty, he was very socially awkward and shy. However this needed him to be brave, in hopes that maybe she would assist him in escaping this place. . .
"Eunace." the young woman shok his extended hand while waving her other arm in front of his eyes. "Let's find the exit!" she smiled.
"The left door is over there." she carefully started walking along with him. "Soon we'll get out of here."
Both of them went trough the door.
"So, is Robbie short for Robert?"
There was a cashier, or more like someone who pretended to be. He seemed to be in a similar situation, but with more knowledge about it.
"The starter room?" Eunace whispered back.
When they went trough the previous room the girl turned to the cashier.
"A starter room? Start for what? Are we in a videogame or something?"
