[On the island]

For a few minutes there was a heavy silence in the room, until a cold voice came out from the back, "And what exactly is that BRRR! project of yours?"

From the sound of his voice, you could tell that Shingen was overjoyed by the question, "That's a very good question indeed, as expected from you Shiki-san"

"Don't beat around the bush, answer"

Everyone looked insistently at the man with the gas mask, expecting something from him. "Well I might as well start now, but first let me introduce you my wonderful security men!"

He barely finished his sentence when a dozen armed men in uniforms barged in the room, everyone was too surprise to react and they turned their eyes to Shingen once again.

"They look scary I know, but please don't mind them, they're just here to assure that everything will go as planned, and that no one will go, mmh how should I put it, on a rampage and threaten our security"

"That's our Shizu-chan for you, Kishitani-sensei"

"Fleaaaa" resonnated in the room until Shinra cut their usual fight even before it started "You two just shut up, there are things more important, Celty for example, where is Celty?"

"At home dear son, don't worry, we have plenty of data about her already, and she's not human so not qualified to take part to this project"

"Then Shizu-chan should be here eit-"

"Izaya, for once, just shut up" The informant, shocked that someone could have dared to cut him when he was talking, turned to face the culprit, he still didn't believe it. Kadota, the always calm Dotachin dared to silence him.

Coughing, Shingen tried to get back the attention from his audience. "Now please allow me to explain, and know you wouldn't like what I'll have to do if someone dares to interrupt again. So, the BRRR! project is a large scale experiment on human behaviour. We want to research how humans react to each other when it comes to life and death in a foreign environment, this is why we gathered you here. As you already noticed you more or less all know each other, or at least heard about each other, and you obviously don't know this island either. Oh by the way, I suppose you're curious but we're in the middle of the Pacific and we named it Heiwajima, as an hommage to our dear guests here, we thought it was fitting, don't you think? Peaceful island, a perfect place to take some vacations"

Since no one answered to this statement he sighed and continued.

"Basically, this experiment will take place in the form of a game, you will receive a package with a random weapon and some food, rules are simple, kill or be killed. You are to kill each other until there's only one left. You have 4 days. If you don't follow the rules, we implanted a device in the back of your head, I just have to push the little red button on that remote, your head explode and you're dead. Got it?" he asked, brandishing the remote and showing it around.

One man stood up, the strange one with the bandage and the hat, "I'll tell you know, I will never take part in that sick game of yours, I refuse to do anything which could hurt any woman"

"Are you sure?" and there Izaya was sure that if the gas mask wasn't hiding his face he would have a large sadstic smile on his face.

"Yes I am sure"

"Fine", said the scientist, pushing the button.

Suddenly there was a huge noise, and the room turned bright red and a headless corpse was laying on the floor. One of the young boys wearing Raira uniform screamed and Shingen spoke again.

"See, I told you"
