"Roxas! In here."

The blond boy turned on his heel, moving back towards the classroom he'd just passed. Axel held the door open for him, waving with the other hand at the two friends they'd been looking for.

"There you guys are. We've been looking all over for you."

Sora smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. We've just kind of been hanging out in here all day."

The redhead chuckled. "What, not out enjoying the end-of-school party?"

It wasn't a surprise when both him and Riku shook their heads. Some people would be surprised that the bubbly brunet wasn't out running around and saying goodbye to everybody, but the four of them had been friends (and a pair of couples) long enough to know that today was less a day of celebration than it was of appreciation. And it was with their small group that they all wanted to spend their time.

After all, with it being their last year in high school, they wouldn't be able to see each other very much. They'd all decided to do different things or go to different schools, and while is wasn't like they'd never talk, it was going to be a big change from what they're used to. So it wasn't hard to reason out why they just wanted to chat, instead of attempt to be civil in the bigger crowd of not-quite-as-close friends.

"Hard to believe three years went by so fast." Axel commented, wistfulness colouring his voice.

Sora nodded and laughed. "I know! I feel like I slept through most of it."

Beside him, Riku rolled his eyes. "That's because you did." He smiled at the tongue stuck out at him. "Just make sure you don't sleep through your alarm, Mr. Full-Time."

"Well... make sure you actually GET some sleep, Mr. University!"

They all laughed, feeling a bit better know that some things hadn't changed.

When they'd calmed a bit, Roxas hopped up on one of the desks and swivelled to look at the other couple, though he tried to appear as nonchalant as possible. "So I found a thing online."

Looks were cast around. Riku spoke up. "A thing?"

"Yeah, it's a..." He scratched the back of his head. "A friendship charm... thing." His words got quieter as his face got redder. Axel laughed beside him and the blond glared, reaching over to punch his boyfriend in the arm. "Shut up man."

"Sorry, sorry. I just didn't know you were such a sap Roxy."

The smaller boy looked away. "Not a sap. It's supposed to make sure we stay friends forever, no matter what."

He let himself be pulled into a hug. "You're definitely a sap. Got it memorized?" Though there was still laughter in the tone, it was softer. An unspoken apology.

Across from him, Sora was grinning. "That sounds awesome! We should do it. Right now, while nobody's looking for us." He swatted at the hand that ruffled his hair.

"Sure, why not. How does this charm of yours work Rox?" Riku asked, easily grabbing hold of Sora's wrist with only a cursory glance in his direction and lacing their fingers together in his lap. He felt the brunet lean against his side.

"Okay," Roxas paused, reaching into his backpack to bring out one of those people cut out of paper. "Everybody grab hold of a part of it." He waited until they all had. "Now, in your heads, say the phrase 'Sachiko, we beg of you' four times, once for each of us. No more, no less."

The group fell into silence as they repeated the phrase in their minds. They looked back to Roxas when they finished. "Everybody say it four times?" Affirmation around the circle. "Okay. Now on three - yes on three Axel, not after three - everyone pull on the Sachiko charm until it rips and you have your own piece. Then, just keep the piece of the charm and we'll stay linked forever." Axel didn't snicker this time, only smiled as they all focused in. "One, two..."

On three they all pulled. The paper tore easily under the stress, and they all grinned at each other over their pieces of the charm.

Suddenly the floor tremored beneath them. The boys reached out to steady themselves when it happened again, hard enough to rock some of the desks and chairs.

"An earthquake?!" Sora gasped, thrown backwards into Riku as the floor heaved, dust raining through the cracks in the ceiling. They all grabbed hold of each other as they went down, the room quaking dangerously. The desks by the back wall suddenly vanished with the sound of wood breaking. More and more rows disappeared, as the gaping hole that replaced the floor raced towards them. They tried to scramble backwards but the collapse was too fast - Sora went first and screamed, the others dragged in with him as they clung to each other's hands.

I realize Reiver hasn't played or watched someone play Corpse Party, but I decided to do a little something based off of it anyways for Halloween; a kind of 'Your Choice' adventure through fanfiction. For those of you elsewise who know of the game, this is an extremely scaled down version.

In the following five chapters, a single choice will be presented, and you (Reiver) must decide how to answer. Each answer is worth either +1 or -1, depending on what you choose. Which ending you get will depend on whether you have more +1's or -1's after five choices. You won't be told whether you were right or wrong on your previous choice (though you may be able to figure it out on your own) - you'll only be told your final score in Chapter 6. I will be uploading MWF for the next two weeks, so the final chapter will land on Halloween.

Let's see if you can line up the pieces.
