Scarlet Katryiana

0 · 389 views · located in Thanatos Island

a character in “Reaper's Game”, as played by Rarikou

Description

Name: Scarlet Katryiana
Nickname: Nightmare
Age: 22

Image: Image

Description:

Scarlet stands at 5' 7 and has a nice, curvacious frame. Her skin is pure white, unblemished or otherwise marked by scars or the like. She has an almost perfect stance and posture, accenting herself when needed to attract nearby eyes. Her own eyes are hetero-chromic, and off colored due to experimentation when she was kid. One eye is a pale shade of red, the other being a light yellow. Soft, subtle make up highlights these odd, lovely orbs or light. In normal situations, she covers up her heterochromia by wearing green contact lens, but will have to do without them for the remainder of the game.

Her choice of clothing changes from situation to situation. If she isn't planning any 'business', she likes to where bright, colorful dresses and other such beautiful things. If she needs to be more casual... or when she begins her 'extracurricular activities', she changes to a casual black shirt and darkly colored jeans, and combat boots... the perfect ensemble for running and fighting.

Personality: Scarlet comes off as a normally sweet, caring , intelligent girl. She's known to act in a matter that makes her seem as pure as possible, without being over the top thing. She has a well practiced ability to dispel worry and fear from people. She comes off as shy, as she never wants to take the spotlight and do anything public. In some people's eyes, that has only raised her up on the cuteness meter. Of course, the real reason is that she would rather not make the mistake of remaining in people's heads to such an extent, as it could provide trouble down the road. She can seduce people if she feels the need to... but only very, very rarely.

Scarlet's true personality is that of a sadist. She enjoys fear, terror, pain, anything to bring about chaos with a person's life is enough to make her blood boil with delight. She doesn't have any thoughts about destroying the world or any such extremes, she just loves watching it burn, and the adrenaline plus the fear of her ever getting caught is enough of an addicting thrill that she'll never stop her actions. She knows exactly what people fear, how to cause panic and despair... how to motivate people to do what she bids using these tactics. She enjoys the thrill of a good fight, and the joy of a kill. She likes to alternate her ways of doing things to get a unique rush each time.

If there is an actual thing like love, Scarlet has yet to experience the thrill of it. She doesn't believe most people can accept what she does and, indeed, she has never really needed anyone too. She supposes that if someone ever accepted her, and she came to love them, she would never let them leave her... any obstacle would have to be erased, and rivals murdered, all eliminated. This defiantly qualifies her as a potential Yandere.

Biography:

Scarlet was raised in an orphanage until she was fifteen, and never knew the delight of having a single family to identify with. From the word 'go', she was plagued with bad luck and misfortune. The orphanage she was raised in was a front for a science company to experiment without actually having to pay anyone to test on them. As Scarlet had heterochromia, they decided to test her eyes first, experimenting with iris color changes, and monitoring her reactions with it. Now because of this, her eyes are unnaturally colored... but it seems to have been a good effect, as she has sniper class sight.. She came to accept this as a somewhat decent trade, but that wasn't until much later in her life. She grew up a any orphan did: hoarding food, waiting for the family that never showed up to claim her, shipped from place to place, never having the life of a girl. The one thing she did have, however, was a library card, and she took to reading mystery novels at a young age. She absolutely loved the passion the criminals had when committing their acts, and she would always root for the bad guy to win and escape the meddlesome detectives. To her, that's how they should have ended- it's not fair that stories have perfect endings while that is almost never the case in real life.

A few weeks after her sixteenth birthday, she decided she decided she had enough of orphanage life, and became emancipated, taking several jobs, both legal and illegal to get plenty of money to care for herself. With this hard work and dedication, she was able to oay for school and set herself up with a somewhat decent life. It was the start of this time period that the Nightmare killings began.

The Nightmare Serial Killings have been plaguing the city ever since then. People end up dead, killed in horrible ways, with the M.O and cause of death being different for each one of them. Only two things are the same for each case- a X is cut into the victim's body,with a circle around it, and an EMP is detonated in the area, frying security systems and erasing their records, as well as camera in a certain ration. The police have been completely stumped this entire time. There seems to be nothing connecting the crimes. For complete details on each of the murders, refer to the 'Nightmare Case Files' (which I'll add later). Murder isn't the only thing she's done, and is responsible for things like poisoning a restaurant and other such acts that cause widespread panic. These acts have continued for the past six years, though the police are getting somewhat smarter about how they handle these killings, Scarlet won't be stopped that easily. Fifteen known victims in six years...she is setting quite the record.

Scarlet balances her secondary life with her first, and has entered college starting on her 19th year. She is currently majoring in Criminal Justice. She figures the lessons will assist her to continue her workings, and increase them to a lovely degree. It will also provide her with access to sensitive police information, which is always a useful thing. She never plans on stopping...and why should she? This world deserves to fall into chaos...and the screams and fear of the people is so...enticing!

Abduction Post:

“My my, you sure know how to treat a girl. Thank you for that wonderful time.” Scarlet says with a smile. She had just had a session of being treated like a queen by a date. Normally, Scarlet wouldn't be caught dead dating someone... but the mark in question was rather rich, and Scarlet had been craving some quality wine for quite a while. The conversation had been boring, her date was a lawyer or some such, Scarlet had been zoning in and out while pretending to be interested in what the guy was saying.

Still, the meal was of five star quality, so she couldn't say the night was a complete waist. After listening to the man thank her for her time. The man looks at her, expecting a kiss, and Scarlet gives a slight wink. “We'll see how I feel in the morning.” She says, walking into her apartment complex with a faked light step.

She was still wearing the black and red dress she had worn for the date, but decided she's wait to take it off until bed time. Her room was mostly bare, but there were a few personal things here and there for flair, in case anyone came by. There was nothing else in the room to make anyone believe she was a chaos loving psychopath. N cut out pictures on the walls, no blood writing anywhere, not so much as a bloody knife. She opens the fridge, pulling out a bottle of wine, and pours herself a cup of it. She watches the swirl of the drink before taking a sip, the plops on her bed.

She stares at the ceiling. “Damn, my life has been starting to get boring lately.” Scarlet laments. “I guess I've let the area settle enough for now, perhaps it's time to act again.” She thinks to herself. “Yes yes, I'll need to make this simply outstanding...maybe a closed room murder... let's see, that date had a business partner that was working a prosecution case, right? That would shock the media into fright for sure....' She says, then giggling and rolls in her bed, already imagining the many ways she could plot it out. “It'll be a closed room murder... yeah, I haven't done one of those in a while. I'll kill the guy and wait until morning when his little friend enters, screams and runs for the police, andI'll exit out a back window... perfect.” She smiles

She takes a breath, then finds no oxygen coming to her. 'Hmm? I'm I so excited I'm getting light headed?' She says with another giggle. Then another thing hits her, a somewhat off Oder reaches her nose. 'No, someone's displacing the oxygen with gas!' she things, gets up, and bolts for the door.

As she walks outside, she has barely enough time to look around before someone catches her by surprise and puts a rag over her mouth. “Damn it...” Is all she has to think in the time it takes for her awareness to leave her.

So begins...

Scarlet became aware far before her body did. All she felt was a numbing sensation within her entre body, begging her not to move. She couldn’t open her eyes just yet, but she could sense. She wasn't on a beg or couch, or anything like that... the ground was cold and rocky. The warm sun shone down on her. 'I got drugged...' Scarlet remembers, forcing her body to become aware, checking for any signs of damage. “I wasn't used for anything... my entire body is intact.... no signs of scars or broken bones.... why would I get drugged, only to be left out in the open?” She thinks to herself.

She slowly opens her eyes, not moving any other part of her body. She could see plenty of tropical trees, a pathway into what looks like a decent sized building, and the crystal blue sky above her.. 'I'm in the tropics? Just how long was I out?' She asks herself. She slowly gets to her feet, trying to fight off the last effects of the drugs. She was still wearing her dress and heels, too. She looks around the area, confirming that it wasn't some tourist place... it was quiet. There didn't seem to be anybody around

She begin to walk down the pathway and over towards the building. A quick once over showed nothing suspicious... but there was a camera hidden in a tree behind her. 'I'm being watched.' She noticed, and continued her approach down to the building.

“ You two, huh?” Came a male voice, and Scarlet stopped, leaning into the wall to listen.

“Uh-huh.” Came a feminine voice. “Do you know where we are?”

“No, I don't think any of us do. “ Came a different voice, sterner than the last. “I had just been watching tv when suddenly I tasted a dirty rag... next thing I know, I'm here.”

There came a few different voices, all saying things like' Yeah, Same here' or' Me too!” Scarlet blinked, momentarily confused. 'I wasn't the only one these people abducted? What's the deal with this? Either way... I guess I need to make my presence known...”

She stopped as her eyes caught something on her wrist- a plastic clear bracelt. “Hm? What is...?” She asked, looking it over. It looked to be like a watch or something, but no display or anything like that. It was clear as day... and it was welded tight... there would be no removing this thing. 'Intriguing...'

She looked around one last time, and walked into the build.

There were multiple people in the room, and they all went quiet as they saw her walk in. A few men.: One looked rather dimmwitted, a giant jock of some sorts, and a few people that held a posture as if the were gods gift to women. There were three green haired women- two of which seemed to be twins, the third dressed in a nurses outfit. 'Right, I need to act like these people do... I need information.' “Oh um...hello there..” Scarlet asks, looking around with a worried look and a shy, concerned tone.”Umm, does anyone here know where this is?”

“Oh gods, you're beautiful!” Came one of the blue haired people, running up and grabbing her hand. “What a delightful sight for sore eyes! Don't worry, Shido will protect you!” He says with a bright, cheeery smile.

“Oh umm... that's...nice of you!” She says, trying to keep up her smile. 'I'm going to kill this man...' She decided.

Shido gives a man swoon, until the twins ran up and punched him out of the way. “Don't worry, he was like that to us to.” One of them said. “Truth is, none of us know where this is. We all woke up around here.”

“I did too! Last thing I remember was finishing a date, then I suddendly had something over my mouth, and I passed out.”

“Don't worry, it happened to us to. I'm Lea, and this is Rhea.” She says with a smile. “The one in the Nurse's outfit over there is Maria... you met Shido already.” She says with a huff at the playboy. “The kind one over there is Percym and Mr. Macho over there is John.”

“You all showed up here when drugged?” Scarlet asks, They all nodded. “Great... what's going on around here, exactly?” She asks, giving a worried look 'Yes, do tell me who's behind this, so I can a few choice words with the punks.'

After leaving, Scarlet had just chosen a direction and stuck with it. "It's best to see just where we are, if we're near any villages or something like that, it should become obvious, shouldn't it?" She reasoned out with the others.

"That's as good an Idea as any." Lea agreed, though it could have been Rhea. "I mean, this place looks pretty summery, doesn't it? All tropical and the like?"

AFter a while of walking, they stopped. It was mostly forest, though there were plenty of clearings that seemed man made. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing around for a while. "WEll, where on earth are we? A rainforest?" Rhea asked.

"Aren't rainforests pretty dark, though?" Scarlet asks. "I think I remember something about how trees can block out the sunlight there...or something along those lines." She said with a look around.

There came footsteps behind him as a man in the suit... what was his name, Wilbert?... No. "Wallace, right?" She asks, looking around. "WE've been walking for half an hour, and absolutely nothing in this direction... i would guess this place is uninhabited but... "

"But we were in that building. Rhea protested.

"I think that's what she means." Lea said. "Hey, i can see a clearing up ahead. There seems to be something there.

Curiosity got the better of them, and they looked forward, to where a pretty big wall was formed and, on the other side, buildings. "ALright, we found a cityu!" Lea and Rhea shouted, highfiving each other and dashed off ahead.

Scarler looks at Wallace with a slight smile. "WEll, that was amusing." She said. Shen then noticed that people from the building were coming in behind him. "Oh my, the Cavalry joined us." She said with another slight laugh

"Hm, do you now?" Scarlet aid, giving a sweet reply. "Most people would be terrified at them I usually wear contacts, but they seem to have disappeared.

"Shall we, then?" She says, and begins to follow the twins to what appears to be the gate to this place. "It won't budge!" The twins shout in tage, trying to pry and push the door open in a multitude of ways "This thing's gotta be electronically sealed or something!"

"Lea, let's do it!" Rhea said, lowering her body and cupping her hands. Lea nodds, gets a distance, then runs, using momentum to vault over the fence. Midway in air, she meets an electric cackle, and is repelled. "Owie!" She says, as a few of the peopl3e surround her, examining her.

'A force field?' Scarlet blinks in complete surprise. She goes to a tree, snapping off a branch, and throws it at the fence. It goes through cleanly. 'Bioorganic? I thought that was an imprecise art still...no, it must be electromagnetic.... she must have something on her that didn't agree with it.' She thought

"Well, now what? It's obvious we aren't supposed to go this way." Oliver says, looking at the place. "Should we rregroup? We never really checked that building out throughly?"

"Oh, you didn't?" Scarlet asks. "Maybe there's someway to unlock this gate from there." She says. She then notices the one thing they have in common...they're all wearing those plastic bracelets. "Hey guys... does anyone know what these bracelts are?" She asks as the walk back to the building continues."

Scarlet watched Wallace for a few seconds. "Alright then, I'll go on ahead." She smiled, turning and following a path down. Along the way, she chatted with some of the people. most notably Maria and Eve. Maria worked as a full time Nurse in the hospiralnear where Scarlet lived. Eve didn't really have a job, she lived life day to day. According to her, it was so she and a lot of people could go have some fun' all day. 'I bet I know what kind of fun too...people like her are worse than scum.' Scarlet thought behind innocent eyes.

When they returned to the building, Scarlet looks around. "Well, we all woke up here, so shouldn't that mean we're all supposed to gather here?"She asks

"That's a good point." Maria said. "So, should we split up to look around, or...?"

"As much as I would like my privacy...who knows if those stalker people are nearby." Eve said. "We should probably stick together while we search."

"I can agree with that." Scarlet said with a smile. "Shall we then?"

They found Eren on the next floor, which seemed to be a massive library of sorts. "Oh wow, I've never seen so many books. "Eve said with awe

'That's because you're too dumb to read' Scarlet held back, keeping that smile up. "Any good books in here, Eren?

"Oh yes, plenty of books...even some long thought to be destroyed. There is even a police archive in the back, completly up to date.

'Up yo date police information?' Scarlet thought, her eyes narrowing in thought. 'That narrows the list of suspects way down. Case Files are classified information... only higher ups in the government, and some criminal organzations could have that kind of acces. "That seems pretty strange, aren't all those files , like, supper secret?" She asks aloud.

"Hey, she has a point." Eve said. She must have realized it by now, thanks to that. "No way, is this some sort of goverment crap? That's totally not right!"

"Hey guys, check this out! I found something!" Came a shout from upstairs... that was... Leo? Scarlet looks at everybody, who goes up to meet him

There is a classrom like building upstairs, each with their own media center, and in the middle, a giant tv screen. "It looks like those behind the scenes for a media event." Scarlet says out loud.

"Yeah, but check this out... there are boxes with our names on them. Leo said, holding a oc with his name around. He looks around. "YOur last name is Katryiana? That's a weird name for such a sexy lady."

"Shut up!" She said."It means 'Frozen Snow'! It's a great name!" Scarlet says, catching the box and opening it. "A PDA?" She asks, looking at it. The others seemed to have gotten one of them, looking through it..

On the welcome screen was a folder, and on it was two files. One said 'Read Me First' and the other said 'Your motivation'... what was all this crap about?

Scarlet was checking the pda, turning it over as if looking for a bug or something, then shrugs. "Guess it can't hurt to"

"That's right pumpkin! Aren't you ready to play a fun little game at that?" Comes a voice...not male, but not female either. It was defiantly mechanical. "Whose there!" Rika shouted out

There didn't seem to be anything at first, then from the shadows jumped a figure, landing on top one of the desks...a mechincal grey and white tabbym only one of his eyes were red. "Pukukuku. Hello. Konichiwa, Hi, Hola, Bonjour?" The cat asked, tiliting his head... ah, it was a mechanical cat..

"What the...." John asks, blinking, and Scarlet couldn't help but agree with that feeling

The cat licks his mechanical clup, then stands up on two feet. "Yes yes, I'm a mechnical cat. Deal with it." He says. "I am the director of this island. YOu may call me Mr. Fuzzy."

There was a moment of silence, and no one was quite sure to respond to that. "YOu're...te director? Percy asked, blinking.

"YOU brought us here?" Oliver says. "I don't remember some weird cat at the scene."

"It's obviously remote controlled." Scarlet pointed out. "Well, you brought us here, now how do we get out?"

The tabby cat looked at Scarlet, giving a mechanical laugh. "YOu want to escape. That's good! We WANT you to escape! Really, we do! But well, there's something you should probably know about those bracelets your wearing."

"So there IS something to them." Eve says. "This is hardly a pickup accessory...what the hell are these things for?"

"I think our green haired friends learned that for themselves." He says, looking at the twins. "I went easy on you that time because you hadn't read the rules yet, but there's a special electro field all around this place, if you go somewhere you aren't supposed to...or try to leave altogether..."

The cat laughs. "I'll kill you did. Spark! Buzzz! Ahh, im dead!" He says

"Is that even possible?" Leo asked, shouting at the cat.

"...It is." Maria said, taking a step back. "The human heart can only handlyt a joule of eletricity... a single stream across it, and we're dead... it's certainly possible to set up something that could trigger that."

Mr. Fuzzy does a triple front flip, landing on the ground. "She's right, you know! Those things are your reminder. As long as you got them on, you belong to me." He laughs. "There are threee ways to get out of this place, porkchops. The first is to survive an entire year here, alone." Hey says , "After that, you're free to go, but i bet you all have issues with that.

There was a general shout of dissent. "Of course, even then, only the team that does the best gets to go free, but never mind that...the second reason is better...why, you could leave today, if you have the skill!"

"And that way is what exactly?" Percy asks

There comes another chuckle. "HehhehhehKIKIKIAHAHAHAHAA. Maim, stabbing, strangulation, poison, slashing, blunt force trauma starvation despair... the garunteed way to escape is by killing, my dear Sacrificial Sheep."

The cat just turns his head all the way around to his back to look at Wallace...which was kind of creepy, actually. "Hm? The rules? You have those lovely little devices, don't you. It's marked 'read me first' in bold letters...or do you not read English?"

Scarlet blinked, looking at her pda, and hit the app on it. There was an annoying picture of Mr. Fuzzy, then a somewhat decent length of rules. 'Let's see. Rule Number 1: Do not attack the direct. Number 2 : Don't destroy property. Number 3: Don't steal from other players. Number 5: No losing or breaking yours or another's person's PDA.... what's with all this crap?' She asks.

'Well. the teams will be decided in just a few moments." Mr. Fuzzy said with a smiile... or was it a smile? Scarlet couldn't really tell... and the cat began to do a tap dance. "If you don't want to kill each other, You have to remain here for a year... and even if you all do that, at least 3/4ths of you will die anyway." It said. "So whether you want to chance or not is completly up to you... oh, i DID give motivations as to why you want to kill on your phone's though, so please take a look at it at your earliest convenience."

"This is BULL!" Eren said, looking at his PDA. "You think I'm just going to sit here and let you get away with THIS?!"

The cat blinked. "Well...yeah, actually."

He cursed, charging at the cat and grabbing him by his throat. "Let us out RIGHT now, you stupid cat, or I'll crush this ridiculous toy!"

"Oh no. I'm in danger. Save me." Mr. Fuzzy said in a monotone voice, so it was obvious he wasn't threatened in the slightest. "But hey, this works out, now I can show you all how serious I am! Thanks for breaking Rule 1, there, Eren My boy."

Eren blinks. "Wait, wha-" He said. ?There was a beep from his wrist...and he collapsed to the floor. Everyone took a step back for a moment, then Maria approafched him, checking his pulse... her faced turned white, and that's all anyone needed to know.

Scarlet still isn't sure what to think as she sees the book junkie collapse, deader than dead. 'So he really means us to kill each other?' She asks, trying to hide her delight. 'That can be arranged, I suppose.' She thinks. She turns to Wallace as he shouts something out about seeing the motivations. ' I don't really need anyu motivation to kill, but I guess people will get suspicious if I don't look at it.' She thinks to herself, and calmly presses the button.

What comes up is a text message' Scarlet Katryiana is the Nightmare, and we have photographic evidence proving that.' Was what was written, following a sattelite image of Scarlet walking out of each of the buildings on the day of the goverment fire, followed by a picture of Scarlet, her hand bloodied after killing her latest victim. 'Survive, kill the others, and these won't be made public'

'They want to play rough, do they?' She asks with a smile 'Fine, that can be arranged.' She says

"Alright... so killing gets the things off?" Scarlet asks. "No special tric or anything to it?"

Mr. Fuzzy laughs. "I was getting to that, don't worry." The cat says. "See the back of your braclets? There's a little slot in there that contains a chip... losing that chip means you die...and if you insert six of them into your bracelet, it comes clean off!" The cat says

'So it needs six more' Scarlet thinks, doing the math '... only two people can escape with this method, the others will live... so at most, about 5 people can escape.'

"This is...crazy!" Shido says, looking at his pda."How could you pissubly have..." He says. Most of the other people are giving the same reactions

Scarlet looked out in the hallway, returning to her PDA, The doors weren’t numbered, so how were they supposed to guess which door was right? Was it evens on one side, odds on the right? Was it numbered in sections? She had no freaking clue. ‘That makes it a logic game’ Scarlet realized. ‘So there was more to the puzzle than we thought… we have to puzzle out how the rooms are ordered, and make the fest amount of guesses to win?’ She though

“Got it!” Came the voice of Leo, who had managed to find his. “Luck always wins!”
Scarlet sighs… it’s always the perverts who get luckiest. She approaches him. “May I see your riddle for a second?”
Leo eyes her for a moment. “I don’t think we’re supposed to you know, do that. Rules and all.” He says, though from his gaze it’s clear he’s not look her in the eye.

“I’ll take this one.” Scarlet’s new partner, Evie said, tapping her shoulder. “Hey there, handsome. You don’t have to hand it over, just let her take a little peek? And maybe I’ll return the favor, hmm?” She says, latching onto Leo’s arm and gives him an over exaggerated wink. Leo flushes beat red, and shows Scarlet the message he had received

Leo: Your room number
. A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are left together, the chicken will eat the corn. What is the minimum number of moves to complete this?
Passcode: You really are lucky if you best and land these!

Scarlet paused. She HATED math questions, but luckily this one was more logical bases… plus, it was a classic puzzle. “SO that makes this room number… six.” She says, the looks around. “This is the third door on this side of the hall….meaning it goes evens on one side, odds on the other.” She says. “Now that we have that, this becomes a lot easier.

“I think I got mine...part of it, as any rate” Percy said, who had been looking at his PDA, where a picture was: http://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/i ... 0d2f2c.png followed by the words (digital root)
Password: Total number of verses in the bible’

“The triangle is ancient jewish, but it essentially referse to the concept of the names of God in the triangle… the 72 names of god… I’m not sure what a digital root is, though.”

“Oh, I know this one, it’s 9.” Scarlet said. “We covered Digital Roots in class a while back.” She said. There was no point in hiding information from an ally, after all. “The verses thing seems even trickier, though..how is a normal person supposed to know:;’

“31,240.”Percy said, then took the looks from the other two. “…What? I’m a priest with a love trivia.” He says, shrugging. “Now, If Scarlet’s right…that puts my door right…here.” Percy said, entering the combination, and was rewarded with the door unlocking. He dashes in to get his key, smiling as he holds it up.

“That’s one down, two to go.” Evie says, kissing Leo on the lips and releasing him. “”What’s your puzzle, Scarlet?”
Scarlet shows her PDA to the group. “No eyeing this? What, like don’t look at it?” Evie says.

“You know, back at the old orphanage I volunteered at, they used to send coded messages so the nuns couldn’t figure it out.” Percy said. “There was always a picture of a tanuki instead of the eyeing business… but essentially, we crossed out any letter found in ‘tanuki’… so maybe try crossing out all of the I’s?’

Scarlet shrugged. It was worth a try. “Let’s see… your room number is atexfor added by one…? Well, at least it makes a comprehensive sentence now.” She says with a grateful smile to Percy. “…atexfor? …That makes no sense at all.”

“Try separating it.” Evie said. “That ting about eyeing was a clue to get rid of the is… so maybe they stand for something else? If you read it 8 x 4… with the rest of it, it becomes a number problem…”

“You’re a genius, Evie.” Scarlet lied, still not liking her general manner…she hated girls like that, but she couldn’t deny she had been a big help in figuring the lay. “So it that’s true…that makes this…33.” She says, running up to the door, then pauses, tyring to figure out the combination.

“Any luck with your passcode?” Evie asked

Scarlet shook her head. “Still trying to figure it out. What about you? Do you have yours yet?” She asked. She noticed that Wallace person next to him, seems he was to be her neighbor, unless he was a total idiot. She watched as he looked at his pda, and entered a combination, only to be rewarded a schorched finger and a humiliating buzzer sound, and Scarlet tried not to laugh it out. She turns back to Evie. “Let’s see your’s, and we’ll try to figure it out while I consider mine.”

She nods, showing her message to her and Percy.

I started out on the journey from the badlands with a full tank of fuel, 12 gallons exactly.However, the moment I started out, the fuel tank sprung a leak. I travelled at 50 mph until I ran out of fuel exactly 4 hours later.I know that the car does 25 miles for each gallon. How much fuel had I lost through the hole?

Scarlet groans. “Enough with the math problems!” She says, burrowing her frow as she begins to ponder this question, She really hated math, but at least it was something she could puzzle out without too many hints, unlike her own door puzzle. If I’m right, Four.” She says. “What about the passcode.

Evie blinked looking away. “I-um, already figured that part out.” She says, running off to the room, and entering it after a few moments.
Scarlet nodded, returning to her own thought patterm. Alright, it’s obvious that this passcode equals a number, so the question is how death translates into a number… let’s seem for French, goes zero, un, duex, trois, quatre, sunq, six, sept, huit, neuf… can’t really see anything with that, though… Spanish? Uno dos tres cuatro cino seis siete ocho nueve… no… Japanese? Ichi-ni-san-shi … shi… shi-ni… shini means ‘death’ She smiles triumphantly. She pauses, entering in-42-42-564, and the door blinks and unlocks. :Annoying little cat.” She swears, going in and fetching her key… the rooms looked pretty nice actually, like a mini suite, complete with shower and Jacuzzi, so she really couldn’t complain. As she walked out. She stook a breath, and kicked her door at the bottom twice, creating two small dents to identify her room.

“Looks we all got it.” Scarlet said. “I’m rather hungry after that t
hinking though… let’s go check and see if that cafeteria has any food.” She said. The other two agreed, and they began to make their way downstairs..
