Snippet #1872974

Looking around me at all these young faces, I feel embarrassed. My hair is turning white, I'm getting old and I must seem really weird to them all. Silently, I've made a name for myself; Viktor Walton. I am a wealthy man, and I've decided to treat these young'ns to an enjoyable game. I made them wait in the cold for a while as I drove here, and already some look wary, "Hello." I grumble, recognizing a few faces, though some are new. "I am Viktor Walton, and this where you will be living for the next two months. I will be in there with you, but my facilities are already set up so I don't have to amble around the dark and get lost. I will be watching, through some of the camera's. Each turns on at a different time for a random amount of time so I can keep an eye on you, but they will stay off for a bit too so I don't seem like a old stalker." I paused a moment and coughed into my sleeve. "As mentioned in the phone call, only the hydro for the toilets, sinks, drinking fountains, and the salon wash bins are operating. If you'd like to stop playing, you must walk out the left front entrance, as all other doors will lock after you enter them. I will have a ride arranged for you to go back home- or wherever." Damn it was cold out here. "I've been introduced to you all, so no need for formalities - at least I don't need them. I'll be getting to know you all real soon, just like the rest of you will get to know each other. Please don't maul each other, and have a good time. If you have any questions, important ones, to ask me, knock on the tenants door and I will try to answer them the best I can." I turned to the young girl called Minzy and said "You will be going in through the left entrance, close to the restaurant. Red, you will be entering beside her through the left exit. Through the right entrance will be Alyssa, and the right exit doors will be Roselee. Angelica, you will go in through the fire escape in the hair salon, and Jack will go in through the escape in the lawn and garden section. In through the grocery section is Calyx, and the escape in the paper and cleaning is Caitlyn. Mr.Roy, you will go in through the do-it-yourself exit, and Tharius in by way of the tire and lube exit." I inhaled quickly and exhaled slowly. I don't talk much, and that seemed like a lot to say, for me at least. "Please head to your respective doors and wait for the flare to shoot up into the sky, then you may enter. Let the games begin!" I said the last part heartily and even threw up my hands in the air for effect.
