I didn't gain ownership of The Lab, HiveMC, Minecraft, or most of the OCs in the last couple of minutes :(

WolfNeko43 has joined the game.

Emma Dansoun grinned at the computer screen. After finally getting the Mac away from her younger brother, she was logged on to her favorite game of all time- The Lab, creation courtesy of TheHiveMC. She remembered how hard it had been to get in a game when it had first been released, and how now it was so easy. Emma really couldn't imagine why.

DaMiningKing101 has joined the game.

Darren Wright glared at the computer. After weeks of being jokingly teased about his PvP mastery but apparent inability to play minigames by his best friend, he had finally caved and promised to try this one time, just to prove that he could too be the best at games without killing. Not like he was bad at minigames. Not at all.

xXSpiritfeatherXx has joined the game.

Sophie Gareth observed the computer screen, looking at the other players currently in-game. None of them looked like big threats, but you can't tell until they reveal their hidden talents. That was good. She needed this win to beat her friend in points in her home court- this game. She was currently winning the contest they had going, and needed this win to stay in first.

TheDiamondArcher has joined the game.

Diamond swung her mouse around, examining the other players. Hopefully, it would be an interesting game. She moved off the spawn point and was going to try to jump on something to pass the time when a block in the peripheral of her screen glitched into rainbow. She spun around to look at it, but the rainbow was gone. Diamond shrugged and turned back to her goal of getting to the top, briefly wondering if there was a glitch.

TaztheGrimm has joined the game.

Marcus stepped off spawn feeling good. He was going to win this one, and none of the other players could- okay, blocks aren't supposed to be rainbow. As he watched, the block suddenly fizzed back, like nothing ever happened. He started hitting with his fist to see if it would do anything, but it didn't react. Okay, they need to fix that, he thought. Maybe it's the texture pack they use for sounds acting up...or something. He decided not to worry about it too much. Someone would tell the coders, and they would come fix it.

Crystal_Cloud47 has joined the game.

Sky watched her character spawn in the game with a sigh of relief. Now none of the other kids could come and tell her to get off the computer because she wasn't in a game. Just because she lived in a foster home didn't mean she didn't get computer time, and today she wanted her fair share of it. She saw another player- TaztheGrimm- hitting a block with his fist as if to break it, then turned away. She wondered why he decided to try and break a block of iron. Not the smartest thing to do!

MM-Sfall has joined the game.

Richard bounded off spawn with what would have been contagious energy had there been anyone around him. He looked around at the new game, momentarily disappointed that there wasn't any lobby parkour. He shrugged. (Or would have, if there was a way to shrug in Minecraft without mods.) He and his friend had begun some kind of dare to start challenging each other to different games. He scanned the lobby, feeling a flash of irritation that said friend wasn't here yet. Ah, well, he did say he might miss this round because of his sister's soccer or whatever...

EnderExile2 has joined the game.

Daniel walked off spawn, watching the jumping kid as he stopped and looked around. He frowned. His brother, in coaxing him to play the game, said one of the minigames had TNT in it, but none was visible. Well, that could also be because they were just in the lobby, but still. His sibling had specifically said nothing about redstone, which probably meant there wasn't any. Daniel sighed. Oh, well, he was here now, wasn't he? Might as well play.

ParadoxxFoxx has joined the game.

Jesse grinned as he spawned into the game. The Lab was still one of his favorite games even after all the hype had gone down. And when his old foster family showed him how to- He cut himself off, his smile fading momentarily. Bad Jesse, he scolded himself, you know the past is the past. He shoved it to the back of his mind and focused on the game again, scanning the players while noting the game would begin soon. The back of his neck prickled suddenly, giving him the feeling he was being watched. Jesse spun around. No one was there. The home was as empty as it had been when he started playing.

RaidenGuyThing has joined the game.

Raiden shifted in his seat, trying to get used to all the fluff that had been placed on his chair to make it more "comfortable". He sighed, barely noticing that he had, in fact, gotten into a game with only three spots left, one of which he now occupied. He decided to ignore the weird fluffy thing for now and focus on the game and how to make it more interesting. No, no hacks, but there had to be something he could do. It had to be random, cool, and weird. Hmmm... How about a smiley face in the paintball one? Or in Splegg?

katelyn-theboss has joined the game.

Katelyn sent the message to Kyle to join LAB12 now. One spot left, and if he didn't get in she would kill him. Only figuratively. Probably. She jumped onto the fake desks, bored, wondering what the heck was taking her brother so long. She jumped past some other players and slid to a stop near the wall. She turned around to start again. Hurry up, Kyle!

Virtual has joined the game.

Nel frowned as katelyn-theboss jumped past him for the fourth time. From the way she was sprinting around, she was either anxious or bored. Of course, with a video game character, it was hard to tell any emotions, but still. His phone buzzed near his arm, alerting him that the client had decided to netiogate the price further down. He snorted. Of course that wasn't going to happen, not with what was on the line, but that could wait. He had a game to win.

5...4...3...2...1...

All twelve players were teleported to the area in front of the lab, as per usual for the start of the game. The villager-scientist came out, walking toward the minigame machine.

"Hmm... I expected better, but these will have to do."

Emma tensed. She knew this line, and that was not how it went.

Sky frowned. Was that a new one?

Marcus raised an eyebrow. Maybe his theory about the malfunctioning texture pack wasn't far off.

"Now, before we get started, there's a little thing we have to do."

Sophie's eyes widened. This was definitely different, to say the least.

Darren bit his lip, sensing something was about to happen, and ten to one it wouldn't be good.

Nel leaned forward in his chair. Something was going on, and he wasn't sure he liked it.

Dr. Zuk brought out a small remote with a green button on it. (Red was much too clique.) "This here is a very important device. I could tell you what it activates," he smirked, although as of now the players couldn't see it, "But it would be so much easier to show you."

He pressed the button.

An automatic voice rang through every computer speaker and for good measure, the chat as well. "PROJECT SNARE Activating 3...2...1...

"Project Snare activated."

Richard bit back a scream as glowing ropes, or what looked like ropes, lashed themselves around his arms and chest. His vision blurred once, twice, then faded away altogether.

Jesse yanked against the bindings, which only tightened in response. His gaze snapped onto the source of the ropes, which was somehow his computer. Suddenly he felt tired, too tired to fight the glowing ropes. As his head dropped to the desk he could have sworn his arm turned to particles, but he was already out by then.

Daniel twisted desperately in the ropes, trying to get free. He managed to jerk one arm loose, only to have it snatched back and pressed to his side. He stopped struggling abruptly as he watched his hand fizz into pixels, reform, and change again, horrified. Or, he was, until he slumped in his chair, out cold.

Diamond screamed, knowing it would do no good since she was home alone. Her arms were starting to feel tingly, like pins and needles, but everywhere at once. The arm went numb, and as she fell against the computer her mind sleepily noted that her limb seemed to have disappeared.

Raiden resisted the urge to yell as loudly as he could, instead choosing to attempt to back away from his computer. It didn't work. The ropes lengthened while still keeping the same tightness. The worst thing, he realized too late, was that they were also draining energy.

Too bad he figured it out as he crashed to the floor.

Katelyn screeched as loudly as she could, bringing Kyle running. He froze when he saw his sister bound by glowing ropes that seemed to be from the computer. When her form pixelated, he sprang into action, attempting to grab a rope to rip it off. It burned his hand the moment he touched it, forcing him back. He watched in horror as she started dissolving, the pixels flowing through the ropes and into the computer. Once the process was done, the cords retracted into the computer screen like nothing happened.

Kyle finally found his voice.

"KATELYN!"

Chapter One is complete!

If you gave me an OC, tell me if they're out of character and how I can fix it!

If you can review with constructive criticism, that would be awesome!

Reviewing at all would be awesome!

Thanks,

-Night :3
