Chapter 1: A train, a coffin and a contract
(Disclaimer is at the bottom, where it will always be :P)
--
On a train somewhere, a 16 year old boy stifled a yawn sleepily. "Dammit, first thing I do when I get there is find my room and sleep like there's no tomorrow... Well ok, I'll introduce myself to whoever's awake and THEN sleep, can't be rude for a first impression." He stifled another yawn. His name is Maiku Kamiyama, 16 years old, 11th grade. He has just transferred to a new school and is currently en-route to Port Island, where the school and his new dorm will be located. Suddenly the speaker overhead crackled to life, and that ever monotonous voice said "Iwatodai station, Iwatodai. We would like to apologize for the slight delay..." It droned on for quite a bit more, but Maiku wasn't paying attention. He mumbled to himself, "Slight delay my ass... its almost freaking midnight, I should have been there almost 4 hours ago." He sighed and bent to pick up his case from the floor.
15 minutes later
"About freaking time..." Maiku muttered to himself as the train came to a halt and he disembarked. He fished around in the pockets of his jeans and pulled out a folded and slightly crumpled piece of paper. These were his directions to the dorm where he would stay from now on. He gave the map on the paper a quick once over and then headed off. 2 minutes later he realized he was headed in the wrong direction. "Stupid complete lack of a sense of direction..." He headed off again, this time in the correct direction. Just as he was exiting the station, a nearby clock whirred to life and struck midnight. He spared the clock a glance, which just reminded him about how tired he actually was. He stifled another yawn and was about to set off again when he was brought up short by the fact that less then 3 feet away stood a towering black coffin. He stood there with one foot poised to keep walking, and glanced around, noticing more coffins littered around the street and as far as he could see. He stood there for another minute before sighing and shaking his head, "Ok its official, I'm going insane... no wait, I already am insane... yep, I REALLY need to get to sleep..." He laughed slightly to himself, double checked his map, and headed off.
Almost an hour later, after passing quite a few more coffins, and enough blood to fill lake Ontario, he reached the front doors of Iwatodai Dorm (AN: Even after playing through the game 3 times I don't even know if the place has a name, so its now Iwatodai Dorm. If someone knows the real name, tell me please). The walk really should have only taken 15 minutes but... yeah he got lost again. "Stupid... sense of direction... Well what do we got here". He gave the front of the building a quick look over and though to himself, "Hmm, nice place. Wonder if anyone's still up..." After staring for a little while longer, he re-adjusted his case on his back and walked up the stairs to the front door and opened it. He let himself inside and closed the door, placing his case on the floor and looking around.
"Welcome, I've been expecting you..."
Maiku nearly jumped out of his skin when that voice came out of nowhere. "DEARJESUSONASTICK!!" He spun around, looking for the source of the voice and spotted a young boy with short black hair, wearing a black and white horizontal striped shirt and pants. Maiku thought to himself as he looked at the kid "O...k... this kid looks like he just broke out of the big house... well the little house at least..." The boy continued on as if Maiku hadn't said anything, "I hope your trip was enjoyable?" "Uh, yeah. It was fi- when the hell did you get so close to me..." How Maiku missed the fact that the boy had moved from behind the counter to less than a foot in front of him was a mystery unto itself. "That really isn't important. If you would just sign this please." The boy tilted his head to the side a bit, smiled and handed Maiku what looked like a clipboard with something attached to it. "Um... ok, what is this paper anyways?" "Oh it's just a contract saying that everything that happens from this point on is of your own free will, and that no one else is responsible except you." "So... it's a release form..." Maiku shrugged, "Ok, guess it fits." He quickly scribbled his signature and gave it back to the boy, who took it and smiled widely. "Well then. I hope you enjoy yourself. Because time delivers us all to an equal end, you can't just plug your ears and cover your eyes." The boy slowly backed into the shadows and spoke quietly, "I get the feeling that this will be interesting..." And with that the boy disappeared into the darkness.
As the nameless boy vanished the room took on a greenish hue, which slightly startled Maiku. He stood where he was, looking around the room (which apparently was the lounge) when he heard movement somewhere ahead of him, followed by a slightly panicked voice saying "Who's there!"
