a distorted voice echoed
through the dark hallway
the only light being the neon
blue lights that trimmed the walls
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; *wide eyes* what is this??
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; video game concept ?! *jumps* cool!
the voice returns
to get to your destination
please follow the lights
.
.
.
at the end of the hall, there's a door
that opens into a moderately lit room
15 chairs sit in a wide half circle
around a big screen
each chair adorns a similar headboard
a cursive letter lined with lights
c o n g r a t s o n y o u r
s a f e a r r i v a l
please wait further instructions
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; do i sit anywhere?
his mouth is literally gleaming as he stares at the wall camera like it's going to answer him.
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; okay! then where should i sit? hmm... how about here?!
he takes a seat on the chair furthest
from him, the end of the curve.
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; front and center!
I don't know how that's either, but you do you
the screen in front of him shows
him a number to which he screeches
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; someone's here!!!
he bounces in his seat
now who has arrived?
and remember, walk, don't run
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; and if i run? then what?
no response comes
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; *smirks* i don't see you stopping me?
guess what?
he ran
and a corner came sooner than expected...
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; okay okay you won there voice. i'll walk
and yes he did all the way into the room
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; oh someone's here already. hello.
minhyuk sits, staring at him
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; *raises brow* uh okay...
he walks closer to minhyuk and is about
to take a seat with a reasonable
distance from him when...
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; *gasp* you're bleeding!
he had been trying to see if he was facing excitement hallucinations or not.
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; oh no no that's just ketchup- oh f**K
he wiped his mouth and pulled
back to see a thinner liquid
.
.
.
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; wow this is such an amazing room and that voice is S U P E R R R R scary... what the-
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; you gotta shove it deeper ! to stop the bleeding !
minhyuk shoves two fingers in to push the bottom of korain's shirt deeper into his nostrils.
▎KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / STARSHIP ] ;; you aren't supposed to do that wtf. stop.
▎BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / CUBE ] ;; yes you are ! it has to go in deeper !
ryuhwan stares into the camera
and gives a scarily sweet smile
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; can you give us some tissues and a tshirt?
in the next shot, korain and minhyuk
are sitting on opposite ends while
ryuhwan sits cross legged in the middle
when the next trainee came slowly to the
door while gripping something in his hand
he took a deep breath before entering with
a warm yet worried smile across his face.
however, the atmosphere
didn't help with his emotions
┌── TRAINEE INTERVIEW ──┐
▎XIA QINGYU [ #11 / PNATION ] ;; it was as if I had just entered after a fight between brothers was broken up. the tension was so thick.
▎XIA QINGYU [ #11 / PNATION ] ;; in most situations, i don't think it would've affected me much...
▎XIA QINGYU [ #11 / PNATION ] ;; but in this case, i was this close to crying *almost pinches fingers together*
└── ──┘
not to call xingyu a liar,
but he was caught in 4k
an edited zoom in on his face
shows a tear escaping his eye.
despite the tension and the
clear effect of it on the boy
he still received a greeting
smile from all three trainees
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; hey, come sit next to me. *pats seat on his right*
xingyu blinked rapidly before
walking over and taking the seat
the tension of the room had slowly
dissipated, but with only 4 trainees,
there wasn't much conversation
so let's add some more
▎KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / JaCKs ] ;; wow! blonde and pink hair! i knew i should've dyed my hair before coming!
▎DANIEL CHOI [ #09 / BNM ] ;; i mean... if you want i can dye it for you?
daniel's smile is sincere, but there's
something swimming in his eyes?
▎KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / JaCKs ] ;; thanks for the offer, but i don't think i'm going to take you up on it.
▎DANIEL CHOI [ #09 / BNM ] ;; well if you ever change your mind, i have green hair dye in my luggage.
◦✧◦
▎KWON MYUNGJOON [ 4 / PLEDIS ] ;; marvel or dc?
myungjoon asked the group of 3
that were present near the 6th seat
he was planning on taking
▎NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / BNM ] ;; marvel obviously
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; dc
▎XIA QINGYU [ #11 / PNATION ] ;; both are good?
▎KWON MYUNGJOON [ 4 / PLEDIS ] ;; *sigh* at least one good opinion
he takes a seat and turns to his seat neighbor
▎KWON MYUNGJOON [ 4 / PLEDIS ] ;; hello superior opinion holder, my name is myungjoon.
▎NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / BNM ] ;; haha a fellow intelligent thinker, what a pleasure to meet you! i'm takumi, 23
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; and he never learned how to read.
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; sorry, but we aren't allowed to introduce ourselves yet.
▎NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / BNM ] ;; huh since when? did the voice skip a few steps with me? that's so sad! i say we go after the voice-
he gets cut off accidentally
▎XIA QINGYU [ #11 / PNATION ] ;; were there other rules?
▎JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / INCLUDE ] ;; not particularly, that's just what it said on the door
▎KWON MYUNGJOON [ #04 / PLEDIS ] ;; oh did it?
no worries as most people had missed it
yet most had skipped the introduction anyways
well except...
▎SONG NARUU [ #06 / JYP ] ;; hello *bows* i'm song naruu, nice to meet you
the room of 9 gives different reactions
some simply just stare while
others smile and others laugh
▎SONG NARUU [ #06 / JYP ] ;; *blushes* what- what?
▎YOON JINU [ #01 / CUBE ] ;; we aren't supposed to introduce ourselves yet *chuckles* but it's fine, just take a seat.
naruu does as told and sits
in an empty gap of seats
shall we take a trip back to the hallway?
when we come back?
sike
▎MIKAEL KWON [ #15 / STONE ] ;; follow the lights? you guys really want me to miss out on the fun huh? *scowls*
▎MIKAEL KWON [ #15 / STONE ] ;; let's walk then, right *** lead the way *smiles*
◦✧◦
▎LEE HYEON [ #12 / 5DAYS ] ;; is it getting harder to breathe or is that just me? *nervously laughs*
▎LEE HYEON [ #12 / 5DAYS ] ;; i'm going to get swallowed whole aren't i?
he glances back at the camera lens
a gust of nonexistent wind makes him jump
▎LEE HYEON [ #12 / 5DAYS ] ;; i can throw a kick! i'm not scared!
of course, why do you think we
sent a cameraman with you?
◦✧◦
▎??? [ UNKNOWN ] ;; is it time yet?
▎PRODUCER ;; not yet, they still need to sit correctly
▎??? [ UNKNOWN ] ;; i've been here since 5 and you're telling me it's not time yet? come on~
who's this unknown speaker?
and what does the producer mean
by 'sit correctly?'
find out in the next part !
