Prologue (Part 3)
Pushing my negative thoughts to the back of my mind, I took a deep breath. The sooner we continue exploring this place, the sooner we can find a way out.
I followed Azure, Rose, Cherry, and Frost out of the kitchen door and into the next room.
As expected, the kitchen led to a dining room. It was rather simple and small. There were four medium-sized glossy white tables, with five chairs at each table. Simple paintings of various flowers lined the walls, which I think just might be the first colors I saw in this place.
Most interestingly in the room, however, was a man sitting on a chair, fiddling with a gold pocket watch.
He's a little taller than myself, and decently built. He has shiny and short black hair, and rather squinted green eyes.
His outfit is very much put together, with a crumpled white shirt under a grey waistcoat and matching trousers, and polished black shoes.
He noticed us right away, setting down his watch.
"Ah, hello." He smiled, getting up from his chair and walking over to us. "I thought I heard voices in the kitchen."
"Well, you thought right." I said. We introduced ourselves to him (in which he seemed pretty interested in Rose's talent as the Ultimate Prodigy).
"I suppose it's time for my introduction," He said. "My code name is Onyx, and I am the Ultimate Salesman. I'm not too sure about what's going on here, but I think it'd be best to remain as calm as possible for the time being."
Name: ?
Codename: Onyx
Ultimate Talent: Salesman
Working in the acting industry, I get to meet a lot of people, and salesmen are like those annoying ticks that won't go away. They constantly try to sell me or my agent some super expensive product that they promise works, or get us to advertise it to my fans in exchange for a quick buck. They can definitely be annoying as hell, but Onyx seems nice enough.
"Maybe you can sell me my future car someday," I joked. "Anyways, I know you said you didn't know what's going on here, but you must've been awake longer than the rest of us. Did you find out anything while you've been looking around?"
Onyx shook his head. "I've only traversed as far as this room. To be honest with you, I got a little tired and needed a break from searching around."
"Yeah, I get it, I've had this pounding headache since I woke up." Azure sighed, rubbing his head in frustration.
"Same here." Frost said. "I thought it was from lack of caffeine, but it looks like we all have one."
"It is pretty annoying." I groaned, remembering how it felt like not to have a hammer being bashed into my skull. Not to be melodramatic or anything, but seriously, it fucking hurts! It's gotten better since I've woken up, but my head still feels like a construction site.
"For real," Cherry frowned. "It's making it a little harder to think straight."
"So, we all have a headache..." Rose muttered, glancing at the ceiling in thought. "It could possibly...be the effect of drugs."
"Drugs?" I repeated. Does she think we all got high together before this or something?
"I'm thinking that we didn't take any drugs out of our own volition." Rose surmised. "Our kidnapper probably used them to put us to sleep." I thought too when I first woke up. The feeling of uneasiness, the confusion...If our kidnapper drugged us, the side effects would explain a lot of my feelings. But what I still don't understand is why? What the hell did we do to deserve this?
"Ah," Onyx nodded, realizing what Rose was suggesting. "It'd definitely make it easier to transport us here if we were unconscious."
"They used some strong stuff," I frowned. "We're still feeling the effects of it after like, an hour..."
"Hm, maybe our kidnapper had an ulterior motive." Rose suggested. I'm not sure what she meant.
"What do you mean?" Cherry asked, curious.
"Well, I-I'm not exactly sure," Rose sheepishly blushed. "But it doesn't take a powerful drug to knock someone out. So, I was just thinking that maybe the drug that our kidnapper used was meant to knock us out, and then do something else..."
"I see what you're saying," Azure nodded. "But I wouldn't worry too much. We all seem to be in pretty good shape, sans our headaches, right?"
"Only time will tell what our kidnapper had in mind by kidnapping us," I shrugged. "Or, the more preferable option: we could escape before we ever meet them."
Frost nodded. "We should be getting back on track to finding a way out."
"Agreed. I'm ready to get out of this prison." I said.
As we looked around for the door, we realized there was in fact two. They both clearly looked like they led to two different hallways.
"We should split up." I suggested. Everyone looked like they were in agreement.
"But how?" Azure asked. "Should we draw straws or something?"
"I don't think that's necessary," Cherry giggled at Azure's suggestion. "Let's just split up by something easy...like the alphabetical order of our code names!"
"So if we're splitting up into two even groups, that'd mean it'd be Azure, Cherry, and I, and then Frost, Onyx, and Rose." I deduced.
"Sounds fair to me." Frost nodded, glancing at Onyx and Rose.
"I have no problem with the groupings." Onyx smiled, eyeing Rose.
"Then that settles it, I suppose." Rose waved to me and Azure, who I guess she felt a connection with since we met up first. "It was nice meeting you two. I look forward to getting out of here, together."
"Likewise." Azure waved back.
The trio headed out of the door on the right, while Cherry, Azure, and myself were left with the door on the left.
"Well, it looks like you can't get rid of me!" Azure smirked, opening the door for Cherry and me.
"Hey, I'm here too!" Cherry giggled. She walked through the door and I followed, with Azure trailing behind us.
We ended up in a round room, with the door behind us labeled "DINING - MAIN ENTRANCE". Like the rest of this place, it was bright and white, with no windows. There were double doors on the left of the room, and a single door on the right. Upon further examination, the left lead to "LAUNDRY" and the right to "COMPUTER LAB".
"Oh, computer lab!" Cherry immediately pointed out. "Maybe we can use a computer to contact someone from the outside?"
"Sounds like a plan." I nodded, smiling hopefully. The three of us made our way inside.
The computer lab was a plain, medium-sized room, with 6 glossy white tables with four expensive-looking desktop computers on them. It was a fairly dark room, with the majority of the light coming from the computers' blue monitors. Sitting on two computer chairs were two girls.
On the left chair sat a very well-dressed girl who gave off an aura of seriousness and no-nonsense. Almost made me want to drop and give her twenty...
She's a girl of average height, standing about 5'6". She has straight light blonde hair, with her fringe tied into a small half-ponytail with a white bow. Several strands are left to frame her clear and even face. Her eyes are blue, framed by silver glasses and her ears hold silver dangly earrings.
She wears a sheer, high-necked long-sleeved black blouse with a black and white neck bow adorned with a silver brooch, and a flower pattern embroidered in black along the sleeves and around the neck and chest area. Underneath she wears a black spaghetti strap top. She also wears a dark grey skirt, black tights, and navy blue pumps.
To her right sat a girl with orange hair, with a side ponytail on the right sight. She is a little shorter than 'Well-Dressed girl'. She's wearing a grey backpack that looks strangely empty.
She wears a black, short-sleeved shirt and a grey mini-skirt, with black military boots (much more of a casual outfit than 'Well-Dressed girl', which I kinda dig).
"Hi!" 'Orange hair girl' chirped, noticing the three of us after we entered the room. "Are you also fellow kidnappees?" She asked in an oddly positive tone that kinda creeped me out.
"Uh, yeah." I nodded. "I'm Crimson, the Ultimate Actor."
"It's very nice to meet you!" 'Orange hair girl' sprung up from her seat and made her way towards us.
"Likewise." Azure smiled.
"Same here!" Cherry also smiled.
The two of them introduced themselves.
So far, this girl definitely seems like the type to lighten the atmosphere in the room. Hell, even I felt like smiling at her and giving her a hug. But I decided against it.
"My codename is Noir, a shade of black, and I have the pleasure of being the Ultimate Spy!" She did this weird peace sign pose that made me internally cringe.
Name: ?
Codename: Noir
Ultimate Talent: Spy
"Ugh, you're a Spy?!" I was a bit taken aback. I never would've guessed that this little ball of energy was a spy.
"Yup yup!" Noir nodded. "But don't worry, I don't work for the mafia or anything like that!" She giggled.
"Aw, but that would've actually been cool!" Cherry laughed along with Noir, apparently already getting along with her. I guess gingers like to stick together.
"My apologies for the late introduction," The 'Well-dressed girl' suddenly spoke up. She gracefully stood up from her seat and made her way towards us.
"I am the Ultimate Photoshoot Choreographer," She started. "Apparently, my codename is Diamond, a shade of white. A pleasure to meet you."
Name: ?
Codename: Diamond
Ultimate Talent: Photoshoot Choreographer
"The pleasure is mine." I bowed. "I know how important your job is, and how stressful it can be with difficult talent."
"Ah yes, as an actor you must have done a number of photoshoots," Diamond surmised. "It's always preferable when the subject is cooperative."
I chuckled, glancing downwards as I remembered my various photoshoots and the fellow models I've worked with. It was then that I noticed; on Diamond's ring finger, a shiny and sparkly engagement ring with several tiny, heh, diamonds.
Jeez, I guess people are marrying younger and younger these days. Not that I care. As long as two people love each other, and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other then I say go for it. But still, Diamond must be of high school age like the rest of us, and she's engaged. Scandalous!
Azure brought me out of my train of thought. "You don't recognize Diamond, Crimson?" He asked.
I looked at Diamond, and thought.
...
...
...
No dice. She doesn't look familiar to me at all.
"Sorry, no clue..." I answered, honestly a little frustrated. I thought I would recognize her...
"It's quite alright," Diamond reassured. "I have a little bit more to go in my career before I really make it."
"Same here." I nodded. "The entertainment business is a tough one to make a name for yourself in."
Noir turned towards Diamond after finishing a conversation with Cherry.
"Oh, hey, Diamond! Do you think these guys could crack the computer password?" She asked. Computer password?
Diamond looked around at us, before shaking her head. "Like with us, I don't think their talents will be of any help in this situation."
"Oh, darn!" Noir sighed, crossing her arms.
"Computer password?" I repeated.
Noir nodded. "All of these computers are locked with some sort of password that we can't figure out."
"Like the tablet from downstairs!" Azure said.
"Yes, I've already tried to unlock that one as well." Diamond replied.
"It's like these kidnappers are taunting us," Cherry frowned. "Leaving stuff like this out in the open but with no way to use it..."
"How cruel..." Azure sighed.
"I'm determined to unlock at least one of these computers." Diamond proclaimed. She bid farewell to us and started to work on unlocking a computer.
"I guess I should continue helping out too!" Noir giggled. "I've been guessing the passwords that I've learned over the years from the people I spy on."
"Ooo, sounds exciting, count me in!" Cherry smiled.
"Cherry, aren't you going to help us find a way out?" I raised a brow.
"I am! If we unlock one of these computers, we can call for help." She suggested. Hm, I think she's just getting lazy and wants to sit down...Not that I blame her.
"Fine, but come find us when you've tired yourself out with guessing." I urged.
"Of course," She smiled. She immediately ran to one of the computers and started to type away.
I sighed, looking at the computers in the room. We had a means of communication, but no way to use it. Damn it!
Azure suddenly nudged me, presumaby seeing my frustration.
"Don't give up yet," He smiled. "There's still more rooms to search."
I nodded. "You're right." As much as I wanted to punch a hole in the wall, I needed to keep it together. Finding a way out needs to be my number one priority. If I unfortunately don't, then we can revist the idea...
The two of us left the room and went across the hall to the laundry room.
It was a very plain medium-sized room, with bright fluorescent lights illuminating the four washers and four dryers.
An anxious looking boy was sitting on top of a closed dryer, fiddling with the knob that controlled the cycles.
He is a little shorter than me, and has white hair, with black bangs. His hair covers his dark brown left eye.
The boy wears a white hoodie with a black skull and crossbones design. He also wears blue shorts with black and white sneakers.
"Hey," I called out.
Upon noticing us he immediately jumped and squealed.
"AHH!" He yelled. "P-please don't hurt me!"
"Wow there, calm down," Azure said, holding his hands up. "We're not here to hurt you."
"R-really?" He asked hesistantly.
"C'mon, do we really look that intimidating?" I joked, trying to lighten the mood.
"N-no!" He insisted. "I didn't mean to o-offend you..."
"Don't worry about it," I reassured. We introduced ourselves, after which he seemed more relaxed to know that we were, in fact, fellow kidnappees.
"Um, my c-code name is Cloud, a shade of white." He said. "And I'm the Ultimate Occultist."
Name: ?
Codename: Cloud
Ultimate Talent: Occultist
Ooo, spooky. I've starred in plenty of movies and shows involving ghosts and the supernatural. Honestly, it's kinda made me believe in them a little bit...As with Azure's cryptids, Cloud's ghosts would definitely make life a whole lot more interesting.
"Ghosts, huh?" Azure nodded. "I'm not sure how real they are, but it'd definitely be cool to find out they exist and discover one of them! Have you? Ever discovered one, I mean?"
"U-uh, yeah." Cloud sheepishly replied. "I've done multiple r-rituals and have managed to contact the other side."
Azure smiled. "You'll have to invite me to your next one. Maybe I can find out where Big Foot is from one of his victims."
Cloud offered a small smile. "S-sure! Most ghost are nice and don't do anything b-bad."
"Well, that's good to know," I nodded. "Anyways, Cloud, have you found anything in here?"
Cloud shook his head. "No, s-sorry. The only thing in here is washers and dryers. Oh!" He suddenly exclaimed. "And, um, t-these,"
Cloud held out his hand, revealing a weird packet of powder. "I t-think it's deteregent?"
"Yeah, it is!" Azure said. "I used powder detergent when I went camping. It's a lot easier to pack and mixes right away with water."
"Interesting..." I slowly said. Powder detergent definitely isn't something you see everyday. I read in some article somewhere that it's better to use to get out mud and dirt, easier to store, and is slightly cheaper. I guess that's why our kidnappers chose it?
"A-ah!" Cloud suddenly yelped. He put his head in his hands and turned away from us. "Please go!"
Me and Azure shared a look of confusion as Cloud continued to shoo us away. He sounded serious and honestly a little creepy, so the pair of us quickly obliged.
"I wonder what that was about." Azure frowned. "Maybe a panic attack?"
"Caused by what?" I wondered. Cloud seemed like a nice guy, just a little on the paranoid side. "We don't know the guy, so let's leave him alone for now. We can check up later."
We left the laundry room with no new information or a way out.
I quickly saw a light at the end of the tunnel, however.
Seriously, there was a light at the end of the hallway.
"How big is this place?" I remarked.
Azure shrugged, smiling. "Just gives us more opportunities to find a way out, right?"
"True." I chuckled.
As we made our way down the hallway, I noticed more windows on the side, all revealing nothing but the dark, starry sky. I wonder how high up we are...
At the end of the hallway were double doors, leading to a big room.
It was rectangular shaped and styled very differently than the rooms we had encountered thus far. Instead of white floors, white walls, and white ceilings, the room was covered in dark blue carpet, and the walls were colored a pale grey. There were 10 doors on each side of the room, each with the design of something related to space on them...
"Weird." I said.
"I think it's pretty cool," Azure said, brushing his hand over a door with the design of Saturn on it.
"I mean, yeah," I replied. "But it's just kinda weird. Of all the things to decorate doors with, why space?"
"Maybe our kidnappers have a thing for the cosmos," Azure shrugged, smiling. "Hey, maybe that's why they kidnapped you! You are a 'star' after all."
...
...
...
"I think that's the corniest thing I've ever heard, but a solid 8 out of 10 pun overall." I laughed.
Just then, two people walked out of one of the rooms.
The taller of the two is a boy probably the same age as me. He's well built and has tanned skin. He has messy orange hair (with the middle being clipped back with a blue hair clip), and blue eyes.
He wears what looks to me like a green pilot uniform, with the top half tied around his waist, revealing a dark blue shirt. He also wears black combat boots and has a pair of sunglasses tucked into the collar of his shirt
The second of the two is also a boy, but much shorter than both myself, 'Tall boy', and even about an inch shorter than Azure.
He has fluffy white hair and purple eyes, with his right eye bearing a scar, and tan skin.
He wears a white long sleeve pull-over sweater over a black polo, with his sweater bearing the design of a question mark. He wears black jeans and white sneakers.
I could hear the two talking about something.
"I don't fucking know, alright? Aren't you supposed to be the expert, anyway?" 'Tall boy' rolled his eyes at 'Question-mark boy'.
"Escaping requires a lot of time, a lot of information, and a lot of items." 'Question-mark boy' sighed. "It's not as easy as you think..."
"Ugh, whatever, you haven't helped me out at all," He shook his head, which is then when he noticed Azure and I. "Hey! You two, you know the way out?"
We made our way over to the two of them.
"Nope, we're just as clueless as you are." I answered.
"God damn it..." He muttered.
"Hello," 'Question-mark boy' smiled as he noticed us. "My codename's Cotton, a shade of white, and I'm the Ultimate Escapist, as in escape rooms and stuff. It's nice to meet someone who doesn't have anger issues!"
Name: ?
Codename: Cotton
Ultimate Talent: Escapist
"Who the hell are you saying has anger issues, you little shit?!" 'Tall boy' yelled. Cotton seemed unfazed.
We introduced ourselves, hoping to calm the tension in the air.
"So an actor, and some shit called a cryptid enthusiast? So looks like I still have the most useful talent here." 'Tall boy' smugly smiled.
"And, uh, what might that be?" I asked, resisting the urge to punch this ginger asshole in the face. I mean, shit, he's basically the real-life version of my character on Sun Witch Esper Ito!
"Tch," He scoffed. "I can't tell you my name, but you're telling me you don't recognize me? I'm THE Ultimate Pilot. In this stupid ass situation, my codename is Sunrise, a shade of orange."
Name: ?
Codename: Sunrise
Ultimate Talent: Pilot
I wouldn't want this bundle of joy piloting my flight, that's for sure.
"So, Cotton, what's in the room?" I asked, turning towards the sane one of the two.
"I guess it's supposed to be my bedroom," He answered. "You should have a key too; from the incinerator room."
Bedroom, what the hell? I guess that everyone woke up in the same situation as me and had to solve that mini puzzle. I tried to remember the ending...
"Damn it!" I groaned, shoving the key into my pocket and rolling my eyes.
That was it, there was literally nothing else for me to do...or so I thought.
I felt a buzz in my pocket, coming from the phone, and turned it on.
The "PRIZE" icon was bouncing, and upon clicking it, confetti and the words "Congratulations!" filled the screen.
After the 'cute' little graphic, all displayed on my screen were several little boxes, with only one of them lit up with the number [001]. I clicked on it and read the following:
Task: Find your [TEMPORARY] room key.
Reward: Unlock any one door. [Redeem?]
Huh, the phone did mention something about a room key. I dug around in my pocket and sure enough, I still had the key.
"Why do we need a room and a room key?" I asked.
Cotton shook his head. "No idea. It's almost as if our kidnapper is setting us up in a bed and breakfast."
I thought about it and Cotton's line of thinking was pretty right. The kitchen, dining room, laundry, and now bedrooms? Hey, maybe this isn't so bad after all.
I turned to see Azure fiddling with his own key. "So, Crimson, should we check out the inside?"
"There's nothing there," Sunrise interjected.
"I think they can see for themselves, Sunrise..." Cotton sighed, crossing his arms.
"Go fuck yourself, little shit." Sunrise too crossed his arms, giving Cotton a threatening look.
Why the hell did these two decide to investigate with each other?
"Sure, Azure, let's go." I replied. "I'll, uh, see you two around once we find an escape."
"Not if I find it first!" Cotton smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Sunrise looked uninterested.
I eagerly followed Azure away from Cotton and Sunrise. Cotton seemed nice enough but I could tell that Sunrise would eventually drive me insane.
Azure was heading to a door with the design of the Sun on it.
"You think this one's yours?" I asked.
"Look," He said, showing me his key. On the top part of the key was a smaller design of the design on the door.
"Oh, I see..." I answered. Our keys' design probably match up with the door's design.
He put the key and the lock and turned it.
Unsuprisingly, it unlocked.
We entered the room, and immediately were hit with orange. Lots and lots of orange.
The room was a decent size, with a queen sized bed, dresser, desk, and a desk chair. There was also a very small bathroom with only a toliet and a sink. The room was covered in orange, from the walls to the bed sheets to the carpet underneath the desk.
"I guess they really stuck with the Sun theme." I remarked.
"Hey, I kinda dig it!" Azure laughed, looking through the drawers of the dresser.
"Really?" I said. "I mean, your name's Azure, a shade of blue, but your room is orange."
"Huh, you're right..." Azure said, sounding like he had a realization. "Why do you think our kidnappers made us have codenames? Moreover, why'd they choose our codenames to be what they are..."
I shrugged. "Beats me, man. We don't even know each other so I don't know why they want us to hide our identities."
Azure also shrugged. "Well, it's not that big of a deal. Once we get out of here we can tell each other anything without worrying about being 'punished'."
I glanced down at my ankle monitor, which felt like a weight tying me to this place. I thought about one movie I starred in, where I trapped a group of teenagers in a mansion and they couldn't leave or the ankle monitor on their ankles would explode.
I shuddered at the thought of becoming a baked Seizo, and smiled at Azure.
"Well, my friend, let's move on and make that possible." I proposed.
"Sounds like a plan." He nodded, glancing around the room once more before opening the door and walking out.
At the end of the room was a door simply labeled 'REC CENT'. We hurriedly passed the arguing Cotton and Sunrise and headed into whatever the hell 'REC CENT' stands for.
The room before us was another big square hallway, with three doors; two on the left and one on the right.
The two on the right were simply labeled 'F SHOWERS' and 'M SHOWERS', presumably standing for female and male showers, respectively.
The one on the left however looked like it led to something interesting, so we entered that one.
We were greeted with a pretty stellar sight. The walls were all glass, and revealed the very starry night sky. The floor was black and had several tiny, color-changing lights in it, resembling colorful stars. There were two black couches in the middle of the room, with a coffee table in between them. The right wall had shelves and were lined with various board games, puzzles, CDs, and other forms of entertainment, and the left wall's shelves were lined with several different books.
A girl was flipping through a book near the left shelf.
She's a little taller than average, and has pale skin. She has blue eyes and styles her medium length auburn hair into a 'lob with bangs'. She wears blue rimmed glasses.
Her sweater is blue, her jeans her blue, and her sneakers are...maroon. Interesting. I could notice a tattoo of a tree on her left ankle.
"Anything interesting?" I asked as Azure and I walked up to her. She turned in surprise but smiled once she saw us.
"No, not really." She answered, setting the book back on the shelf. "Nothing that tells us a way out either!"
We introduced ourselves, and after she asked us a couple of questions about our talents, she did too.
"My codename here is Merigold, which is a lovely shade of orange." She said. Huh, maybe she'll get along with Sunrise.
"It's nice to meet you," I nodded. "What's your ultimate talent?"
"'Ana almutarajim alnihayiyu." She, uh, 'answered', giving Azure and I a sly smirk. What the hell language is that?
"Sorry, I only know Japanese and English," I nervously laughed.
"Soy el traductor definitivo." She said, looking very proud of herself.
I looked to Azure for help but he simply shrugged.
"Oh, c'mon guys! It's not that hard to learn 10 different languages!" Merigold laughed. "I'm the Ultimate Translator."
Name: ?
Codename: Merigold
Ultimate Talent: Translator
Ah, makes total sense. A human Google Translate, I suppose.
"I didn't do so well in English classes, so for me, yeah, it kinda is." I remarked.
"I'm sure you just haven't found the right teaching method," Merigold said. "If you want, I can help tutor you!"
"Maybe once we get out of here," I said. "So, anything interesting in here?"
Merigold shook her head. "Nothing to help us escape, if that's what you mean."
"Figures." I sighed. We haven't had any luck so far in finding a way out, so why would we now? "I mean c'mon, they put these big ass windows to show us the outside but they're so high up we have no chance of leaving..."
"Uh, about that, Crimson..." Azure suddenly said. I looked over to see him observing the back wall. "There's something you should probably see."
I looked at Merigold who shrugged. "I didn't get a chance to look at the windows before I noticed the books."
We both walked over to the back wall to see what Azure saw. And once we did, I could see why he thought I'd want to see it.
The glass wall revealed the night sky, and once you looked down you could see... the night sky.
But it just wasn't normal, something wasn't right...The stars were just so abundant and looked so vivid. And the sky was just so eerily dark, like the blackest thing you've ever seen. As you looked down, all you could see was darkness and the stars; no sign of the ground or anything else, including the moon.
I've been in sky scrapers and tall buildings during night before, but I've never seen anything else like this.
I looked at Azure and Merigold who both had the same stunned expression.
It's like it's something...out of this world.
A/N: Phew, this one took a while! I hope you guys are just as excited as I am to get this story going!
So, we have more characters introduced in this chapter. I might introduce the rest of the characters in this next part of the prologue, or I might go ahead and do two.
And just to let you guys know, I absolutely despise writing appearance descriptions xD It's by far my least favorite part of starting a new story. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing your guys' creatives minds come up with such cool characters, but when you have to write twenty of them, it justs gets so old. Hopefully, I created an adequate enough picture so that you guys can get a picture in your head.
Please let me know what you think of the story so far! Any and all feedback is definitely encouraged; I love seeing your guys' responses :)
I'll try to get out the next part by the end of the month, but no promises! I'm taking a college placement test later this month and have dedicated a lot of time to studying for it. Moreover, now that the moving is done, I have to unpack everything Dx
Have a great day/night wherever you are, and see you guys in the next one!
