"If they were going to kill us," Bri mused, more to herself than to Chris at this point, "I wonder how they'd do it. Would they let us KNOW they were going to kill us?"

She stood up, wiping her hand on her jeans. It felt unclean after touching that organ-bag.

She started to head outside and stopped dead in her tracks. NEIL? It was him, wasn't it?

He was ALIVE. The THING didn't kill him in the woods. Why hadn't she been worrying about him more? He'd been gone for...

But she'd been so wrapped up in herself, so caught up in Chris and Adrian fights and terror and despair and angst.

It was okay, though, he was alive. And talking to Adrian. No... that was bad. Adrian was one of the group that wanted to kill them, right? If he found out Neil knew Bri, they might kill Neil just to avoid trouble....

Everyone wanted to get her. Everyone wanted to hurt her. With mentalities like that she could stay alive. She wanted to make it to the future. She had a life ahead, damn it.

Still, she trotted over, glancing between Neil and Adrian from a distance before she was in the sight range of either. Finally she called out.

"You're not dead. Huh. That's a good thing."

[SickSlickMan]

J.T. watched them bring the new guy in with mixed emotions. Certainly, he was glad someone else was alive in this madness; one more hand was a good thing, in his mind. They needed all the help they could get. And he knew Bri? Well, she'd probably be glad to know he was alive then.

But on the other hand...he was skeptical. It had been hours since this had all started...were they supposed to believe that he had just been wandering around outside all this time, unharmed? That just seemed too unlikely. Why would Slender Man just leave him alone, let him come back to a group, when he was perfectly vulnerable by himself in the woods?

Something didn't feel right to him about all this.

[blahblah]

Chris listened as Bri thought to herself. Were they seriously considering trying to kill us? Chris just sat there considering all the scenarios. It made sense though, get rid of the ones that might drag them back.

The sky was a bright purple. They would have to leave soon.
Chris noticed a guy walking in. It seemed he got attacked too. And knew Bri. Two badasses have survived the wrathed of slenderasshole in the forest. Chris looked at the guy he saved. Stilll out of it.

Guess Bri's friend was more badass.

As Bri went to talk to her friend, Chris went to the group outside.

"Bri's kinda paranoid. You guys arent trying to kill us right?" Chris checked if the gun was in his pocket.
"Because if you are... that makes you no better than the thing that has been trying to attack us." Chris heard a loud crash and saw struggle going on in the hotel room again. "Shoot. Did you see that? Theres been on and off things going on in there." It was time to get to the end of this.

[SlenderSniper]

Adrian turned and stared at Chris with a blank look. It felt like he stared for minutes, when in actuality, it was a mere 15 seconds. Then he just rolled his eyes up as high as he could, and spoke.

"YYYYeeeeeeessssss....... of course we were planning on killing you. Both of you. Because you slapped a cigarette out of my mouth, and I love cigarettes so much, that I need to end your life. And as for Bri, well.... I feel like it." He said so sarcastically, it questioned Chris's sanity, and intelligence.

[SickSlickMan]

It was too much. Chris asking the question almost brought him to tears of laughter, but Adrian's response just made him lose it. J.T. had to sit down to keep himself from rolling on the floor with laughter. It was too priceless.

When he finally collected his cool, he stood up, walked over to Chris, and slung his arm around the kid's shoulders.

"You two got nothing to worry about us randomly killing you. Although," he dragged him a little bit away from the others, his voice lowering. "I think it'd be fair to warn you that if you pull one more stupid-ass fucking stunt, it ain't gonna be Slender Man that you'll have to worry about. Comprende?"

He winked at him and gave him a quick slap on the back before walking back, still chuckling to himself.

[Deimos]

What the fuck was going on here? Was John the only sane one? Everyone was slapping each others shoulders and having a merry ol'time while either thinking that the others were going to kill them or dishing out threats and sarcasm. It all made him so mad.

suddenly Chris walked up to him and said "I say squire, don't you think that the faceless lord has a splendid physique? Quite scrumptious I'd say." That was it. John had had enough. He brought the rifle up and fired into to Chris' head. John worked the bolt furiously as he fired into the others as well. It appeared that he had missed J.T and Adrian was only wounded, so John pulled the knife from his bag and began slashing at them both in a wild frenzy. When everyone lay bloodied and still John knelt down amongst them and began to laugh, even as he saw the slenderman rise up out of the woods. Slendy reached down and shook his shoulder before saying "John? Are you alright man?" in a strangely familiar voice.

John snapped out of his daze. He seemed to have collapsed and now everyone was staring at him. "Uh yeah, I'm alright. I just.......need to...." He trailed off before walking over and sitting in a chair. Great now he was getting the seemingly virulent retardation.

"You're not dead. Huh. That's a good thing."

Neil hardly noticed the words, but he could easily recognise that voice. "Bri, you can't begin to believe what I've been through, the sights I've seen," he said as he wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug, "I gonna go rest for a bit now, so could you tell these people that I'm gonna take a nap. Partly because I don't like time travel anymore." Neil then paused to gather his thoughts. "Mostly because I fell two stories out a window."

Having finished speaking, he then walked towards the hotel, limping a little bit from the fall.

[Mr.Beyond]

The hug shouldn't have made her flinch the way it did; this was NEIL, the Neil she'd known so long, the Neil she and Katie had spent days with. But she didn't want to be touched... She did her best not to flinch, however, and even patted him on the back as he started to release her.

"Don't go far," she called out. "If you're alone... well... I don't think you'll survive. You can nap on that mattress." Hm, wait, wasn't it full of organs? "That is... if you don't mind kidney pie." He'd fallen out of a second story window, eh? And gotten away with nothing but that limp? It sounded like he was losing hours or winding up in strange places just the way she had....

She kept a careful eye on him for a moment before glancing at JT, Adrian, John and Chris. They were.... JT was laughing? Oh, now they were letting CHRIS in on the plan, right? So that they could get his trust and have him HELP kill Bri before they bumped him off?

She stormed over, shaking all over, fearful, angry, staring into Adrian's eyes.

"How are you going to do it?" She insisted. "If you're going to kill me, at least leave Neil alive."

Adrian, however, was already walking away, first talking to John and then out towards the woods. Of course... of course he wouldn't even notice she was talking...

[SlenderSniper]

"John? Are you alright man?" Adrian said to the man who had walked out and soon after fallen down. Despite the fact that everyone else was goofing off, and he knew he had too, but he still knew how serious the situation was. John awoke with a jolt when Adrian shook his shoulder. He rubbed his eyes, and said he was okay, before going and sitting in a chair that was by the lobby door.

Adrian looked around and as the new guy walked back to the lobby, everyone else just stood there, having a little bit of a good time. Adrian was fine with this, but they needed to hurry out. It was about 5:45 and soon enough, they needed to begin to think up a plan. As he stood there, something came over him. Then he saw it.

Camouflaged nicely behind a bush, and next to a tree, it was there. Its arms were in the tendril forms. He stared at the creature that no one else seemed to notice, probably because they were distracted, and became entranced. Slowly, he dragged his feet, perhaps because somewhere in his subconsciously, some part of him didn't want to go, towards the creature. He passed several people and was drawing closer, and closer to the creature, to meet his death.

[Deimos]

Adrian had asked how he was and John nodded his appreciation. Suddenly Adrian had stiffened and started shuffling towards the woods. John saw his eyes were glazed over and his jaw slacken. John pulled his binoculars out of his bag and scanned the tree line. He couldn't tell for sure but the slenderman was there somewhere. It was time to honour his deal. "Adrian? Adrian!" When he didn't respond, John walked swiftly up and brought the rifle butt down on the base of Adrian's skull. Adrian crumpled at his feet. The silence was deafening as John realised how this must have looked to everyone else.

[SickSlickMan]

Ohhhhh, that's not good.

J.T. had hoped that John had reached his quota of craziness for the day. But now he's gone and whacked Adrian in the back of the skull with his rifle butt. He looked around at the rest of the party, all looking at John as if fearing they would be next.

Time for damage control. "Okay, um...everyone, back off for a sec, we'll, uh...Chris, Bri, why don't you take 'em to find a cafeteria or something, I'm sure we're all starving by now."

He didn't bother to wait and see if they would take off, instead turning his back to them and walking over to where John stood over Adrian.

"Um...okay, you wanna explain that one, or am I just supposed to assume you've cracked?" he asked as blatantly as he could. "I mean...other than that incident earlier, you seem pretty composed, so...I'm hoping there's a reason behind you knocking out one of our best chances of survival?"

[blahblah]

Haha. JT was so funny. Chris told Bri: "Calm down, noone's trying to kill us." Chris pulled Bri to the side until he was sure JT couldn't hear and said. "I asked what they were up to and they had weird reactions. I don't know whats up right now."

Chris looked at the mysterious door down the hallway.
"You see that? Theres something wrong going on in there. I have to check"

Chris walked very slowly down the hallway. He could see something in the bottom of the door, through the crack. His mind began to wander as he approached the door. Could he do this?

"I can do this. I can do this." Chris took a deep breath, pulled out his gun, and threw his body weight against the door.

The door didn't budge, but he heard shuffling going on inside the room. He then heard the metal lock click. Damnit. Could've just opened the door.
No way Chris could break through the lock. He wasn't the hulk.

Instead Chris would try and sneak out the back and climb in through the window. He ran outside... and saw Adrian getting attacked... by John... the one who tried to kill him earlier.

"Two faced prick." Chris fired a shot at John.

[SickSlickMan]

"Jesus!" J.T. flinched as the bullet went whizzing past them. He turned to see who had fired it. Upon seeing him, he realized he shouldn't have been surprised.

"Motherfu...Chris, get back in that hotel right now and take the group to the cafeteria before I take that gun, shove it up your ass and pull the god damn trigger!" he shouted, his face now reddening with anger. "I'm not kidding right now! Lemme handle this! God DAMN IT!"

Fucking kid is going to get us all killed, I swear to Christ Almighty in Heaven he is...

[MetalGearSamus]

Thalci tackled Chris a second after J.T. had yelled at him, wrestled the gun from his hands, and threw it as far from her as she could. She then slapped the crazed bastard.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Get a grip. We will not be killing each other off before I know what's going one. Understand? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to check on Ashley." With that, Thalci hurriedly walked away towards the room she had left Ashley in.

I can't leave that girl alone. She's going to get killed by one of these maniacs.

[Deimos]

John had just opened his mouth to explain to J.T about k.o'ing Adrian when the wall besides his head blew open. A shred of stone flew into his head , leaving a small gash above his right eyebrow and momentarily disorienting him. That crazy bastard Chris had shot at him. JT began shouting and Thalci had wrestled Chris to the ground. John picked up his rifle and aimed it at Chris' face. "You stupid fuck, you think if I were trying to kill someone I'd hit them with the gun rather then shoot him? Goddamit!" The gash stung as a trickle of blood ran down his face.

Without pointing the rifle away from Chris, John looked at JT. "We had a deal, if Adrian spaced out and began walkin to the woods I was to knock him out. Apparantly it happened earlier and he didn't trust himself to get out again. Now who's going to stop me from killing him for real" John gestured at Chris.
