Remuslupinlover50 suggested this and I realized it's a great idea so thank you and I hope you enjoy.

If anyone's interested in watching a play-through of the game I recommend the one by Joel and Adam from Rooster teeth or Gavin and Michael from Achievement Hunter. Both are on the YouTube channel "Let's Play"

"Why are we all gathered in the living room?" Kili asked as he and Fili walked into the room. He saw Toby setting up the laptop to the tv. "It's that game isn't it? Linda, please don't make me play it." He whimpered.

"Relax, ya big baby." Toby said. "It's a different game."

"Oh good." Kili let out a sigh of relief as he sat on the couch beside Linda who was sitting in front of the computer. She had recently purchased a lift-top coffee table so whoever was sitting at the computer didn't have to sit on the floor. That did mean that a few dwarfs had to sit on the floor in front but it gave them a better view of the tv. Toby sat on Linda's other side and Fili sat beside him. On either side of the brothers was Thorin and Dwalin, everyone else was on the floor.

"So what's this game about?" Fili asked.

"You'll see." Toby said.

"I never like it when he says that." Kili muttered. The computer screen popped up on the tv and Linda started the game.

"Outlast." Nori read. "What's that?"

"Outlast contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content-" Fili read.

"What are you making us play this time?!" Kili squeaked.

"You're only watching this time." Toby said. "Linda and I will be playing."

"If anyone feels like they need to leave the room at any point please do so."

"Well, I will see you all later." Bilbo said as slapped his hands on his thighs before he got up and swiftly went to the kitchen.

"I'll be joining you." Balin said.

"Come on." Dori said pulling Ori up.

"But-"

"No buts. Come on." Dori said. Ori pouted as his brother lead him out of the room. "Nori!"

"I'm stayin'!" Nori said with a grin. "I can take it."

"Anyone else too chicken?" Toby said as he saw Kili started to get up. Kili quickly made it look like he was only changing positions and forced a smile.

"I'm not chicken." He said.

"It's okay if you are scared, Kee." Linda said. He shook his head.

"I survived those ana-ani-ane-… those animals, I can survive this." He said. "Besides…I'll be able to sleep just fine tonight with my teddy bear." He said quietly as he nudged her arm gently. Linda smiled at him.

"Alright." She said. "So we're good to go, guys?" Linda asked everyone else.

"We'll give it a try." Bofur said beside his brother. Bombur tapped Bofur's arm. "Can we make some popcorn?"

"Quickly." Toby said with a sigh. Bofur got up and returned a few minutes later with a bowl of popcorn for his brother.

"Alright." Toby said. "You have the choice to run, hide or die." He said as Linda clicked continue.

"You're played this before haven't you?" she asked.

"Yep." The opening sequence of the main character driving up to the asylum in first person played. They turned off the car and Linda was given control.

"Don't leave the car; don't get out of the car." Kili said immediately.

"What's that on the seat?" Fili asked.

"Camera." Toby said as Linda picked it up.

"Not cameras…" Kili whined. "No no don't get out of the car." The group jumped as the gate behind the character closed loudly.

"Any building you have to scale the side of to get in you shouldn't go into." Fili said.

"Alright, in through the window- AND the lights go out. Of course, why did I expect any different?" Kili asked.

"Sweetie, you okay?" Linda asked.

"I'm fine. I'm okay." He said giving her a smile. Linda entered another room and a sudden scream made everyone jump.

"What was that?!"

"Run!"

"Where is it?!"

"Where- there's no source to that sound…" Linda said with a frown.

"Oh you open doors way too fast." Kili breathed.

"You wanna sit behind me, Kee?" Linda asked.

"Yes!" Kili quickly got up and moved to sit behind Linda, his arms going around her, his chest against her back. He let out a happy sigh as he put his chin on her shoulder. "I'm good now." He said before kissing her cheek. He smirked smugly at Fili who frowned. Thorin rolled his eyes at his nephews.

"Alright which way?" Linda asked as she walked down a hall. Suddenly the left door closed by itself.

"Not that way." Nori said.

"Thank you, Nori." Linda said. She entered the next room.

"Oh dear…" Bofur said when they saw the blood on the broken table.

"Get in the airvent." Toby said.

"Why, is something after us?" Kili asked turning to look at him. "Linda, get in the vent, quick!"

"Okay okay." Linda climbed up into the vent and started crawling through it. There was a panel to look through and when she turned the door burst open making everyone jump. "Nope!" Linda kept crawling past the panel until she reached an opening.

"Was he going to come in after us?" Fili asked.

"I dunno but I don't want to find out." Linda said as she moved to a door. She opened it and a loud sound played as a body swung into view and hit the ground.

"AHH!" the dwarves jumped and Toby started laughing.

"Keep going! Move!" Kili squeaked. Linda moved through the room. "Gah! Why are there so many bodies?!"

"That one's still alive!" Gloin said as he pointed the screen.

"Don't stop; keep running!" Kili and Fili shouted. Linda left the room.

"What's that to the right? There's a guy!" Kili shouted as a guy went into a nearby room and shut the door.

"Kili, baby, you're shouting right in my ear." Linda said as she turned her head.

"Don't look at me; look at the screen." He squeaked with wide eyes. Linda shook her head and looked back at the game. "And sorry, luv." He whispered before kissing her ear. Linda continued on and came to the second part where you have to squeeze through. Suddenly a voice came from the right speakers and something grabbed the character.

"Hello pig."

"AHHHHHHHH!" Everyone screamed, popcorn went flying, while Toby was laughing like a maniac as the big guy who grabbed the character threw him through glass and down to the floor below.

"What was that?!" Kili cried.

"An orc?!"

"A troll?!"

"I don't wanna play this anymore." Kili whimpered. "Oh, popcorn." He picked a piece out of Linda's hair and she turned to look at him as he was about to eat it. He stopped and blinked. "You want it?"

"No, you can have it, Kee." Linda said as she tried not to laugh and looked back at the screen.

…

"There's so much blood."

"Why didn't he just kill you? Why throw you?" Dwalin asked.

"Who was that man?"

"What is the point of this game?"

"Guy in chair! He's moving! He's moving. Linda, he's moving, don't go near him." Kili whispered to her. Linda zoomed in with the camera. "Definitely moving."

"Do we have to go this way?" Linda asked as she looked at Toby.

"Yep."

"Slowly." Fili said as she approached.

"Slowly? I say quickly!" Kili said.

"We're gunna take this slow." Linda said. Everyone, but Toby, held their breath as Linda moved back the guy in the wheelchair. Once past him she quickly entered the next open door.

"PEOPLE!" Kili screamed making everyone jump. Fili smacked his arm.

"Yeah the world is full of them, Kee, you're gunna have to get used to it." Toby said. "You see a humpback whale, tell me that, that's crazy." Kili frowned as he held onto Linda a bit more. Linda went around to the back of the room and crawled under a board blocking a doorway. She went into another, grabbed a security pass from a body and headed back the way she came.

"This isn't too bad." Oin said.

"Never say that!" Kili hissed. "Bad things happen when people say that!"

"Alright, past chair gu-AYYHHHH!" Fili screamed as the guy in the chair attacked the player. The guy moved away and curled into a ball.

"See?! See what happens when people say that!" Kili hissed.

"What was that, lad?" Oin asked as he turned to the younger dwarf. Kili put his face against Linda's back.

"Nothing." He mumbled, his voice muffled.

…

"'Note that you can look behind you by holding (Q) or (E) while running'." Bofur read. "Why is it telling us that? Are we going to have to run soon?"

"I can't look." Kili said, his face against Linda's back again. Linda went two steps down a hall and everyone jumped when at the other end of the hall a guy broke into another room.

"Okay two rooms… bathro- not going in the bathroom." Linda said after seeing the blood under a stall.

"Just get to the security room." Toby said.

"Alright." Linda said. She found it further down the hall, entered, closed the door behind her then went to the flashing keyboard.

"Hey it's that man again on the screen." Nori said. "What's he doing-"

"The power went out." Linda said. "You're kidding right- new objective…the basement? Why, why does it have to be the basement?"

"Where else would you keep a generator, Lin?" Toby asked

"Outside so we can leave."

"Hide in the locker. Don't try to fight. Fight what?" Kili squeaked. "Fight what?!" Linda quickly got in the locker and a moment later something was breaking down the door.

"Oh dear…"

"That's the guy who threw us…"

"Is he sniffing for us?" Bofur asked.

"You were here weren't you?" The guy asked.

"No we weren't!" Kili shouted.

"What do we do?"

"Not fight him."

"When is it over?" Fili asked. Everything went silent and Linda stepped out of the locker. Kili squeezed her.

"Why would you leave?!" he screamed.

"Kili, I like breathing." She gasped as she tapped his arms.

"Oh, sorry luv." He said as he loosened his hold.

"I may have to borrow Oin's trumpet after this." Linda said as she rubbed her ear.

"I'm sorry." Kili whispered as he placed a few kisses along her ear.

"Quit kissing her and let her play." Toby said with a disgusted frown.

…

"Must we go to the basement? Why can't we just leave?" Fili asked.

"Running low on batteries." Ori said.

"Oh, thanks Ori." Linda said as she pressed R. Then she frowned and turned to the dwarf who sat in a chair in the archway between the living room and dining room. "Wait, Ori? I thought Dori made you leave." Ori nodded and smiled sheepishly. "How long have you been there?"

"Since that big fellow threw us through the window." He said. Linda sighed.

"Where's Dori?"

"Taking a nap."

"You're not scared?"

"Nope." Ori shook his head.

"Liar." Kili whispered.

…

Linda hit one of the buttons in the basement and someone began pounding on the door.

"HIDE!"

"WHERE CAN SHE HIDE?!"

"ANYWHERE!"

"You're in the dark; he won't be able to see you in the corner." Toby said calmly as he rolled his eyes. The door was broken down and someone came in but they couldn't see them. "Wait for him to leave then go." They waited and Linda headed out the door.

"HE DIDN'T LEAVE! HE DIDN'T LEAVE!"

"He's got a bat!"

"RUN RUN RUN!"

"GET AWAY!"

"WHERE ARE WE GOING?!"

"HIDE!"

"STOP YELLING AT ME!" Linda screamed as she hid the player in another room. Everyone was breathing heavily. Kili gently kissed her cheek.

"It's okay, we're okay."

"Are we done yet?" Linda asked.

"Shh." Kili stroked her arm comfortingly. "Toby, can't you play now?"

"Reload batteries." Toby said. "Thorin, you wanna give it ago?" Thorin was about to answer when Linda hit R, when the camera came back up they could see someone at the other end of a hall.

"AAAHHHHH!"

That night Linda opened her bedroom door and jumped when she saw Kili there, about to knock.

"I need my teddy bear." They both said. Kili's face went from frightened to concerned.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Get in here." Linda whimpered. Kili nodded and the two got into Linda's bed. Kili wrapped his arms around her as she moved closer to him.

"Don't worry, luv, I'll protect you. Nothing will get you." Kili whispered before kissing the top of her head.
