First Encounter

A voice could be heard, it seems like it is coming from speakers somewhere around the botanica.

"My,my... I promised myself that I wouldn't interrupt the meeting day, but I just couldn't help it. You all just loowk sooooo cuuute! And on top of that when else am I going to find most of you together like this? Anyways let's cut to the point! I am Grin, the master of this wonderful den! You are my visitors here so just relax and enjoy all the luxuries this den offers! Sincerely, Grin."

"Oh! Oh! And don't try to escape, because that's really really rude! Come see me in the dinning hall if you want to meet me in person as well."

Peter looked around them in schock, "... does anyone know that voice? Any idea who it is?" he asked, and really really hoped someone would .. this sounded way too creepy

Caleb froze in place as the voice came through the speakers. Was this a bad joke? The last hope of this being one big misunderstanding fading... ".. this is insane" he mumbled.

Daniel nodded and frowned, "Yeah ... He can't just force us to be here, can he? What's the point of this?"

".. ok now this just got really creepy" Crimson said, looking around ".. he gotta be some sort of stalker, right?"

Onixa felt shivers down her spine "someone call the creep police someone is a max stalker" she said and stood closer to Crimson

Megumi took a few steps back and ended up falling on her bum, "Wh-what? T-this cannot be happening! Th-his is not real! You are not real! I refuse to belive!"

Sasha looks at the green haired girl " you know this guy? who is he?" she says in a firm voice

Peter looked around in shock, "... Is this really happening? We got kidnapped? ... why?"

"A bloody stalker? Are you kidding me? I am definitely not a stalker, all they do is stalk people, me on the other hand heheheh... I act! *ahem* it's been a while now, you're not coming? Well... I guess I'll come wherever you guys are and leave my cool bad guy chair turning scene to another day."

"What.." Caleb took a step back. The man with the voice would come here? He looked around "do we have anything to defend ourselves with?"

Daniel looked nervously around them, ".. I don't have anything like that on me .. maybe we can find a thick branch or something?"

Crimson frowned "I don't like this guy one bit" he mumbled and looked around for anything, like a branch..

"that sounds like a shitty stalker" onixa mumbled

Megumi covers her head with her arms for sometime before raising her head. "I don't know who this, but he cleary has bad intentions. I can feel it from his voice, he m-must be a lunatic! A-a-and h-he's coming here!" Megumi quickly runs behind the closest trees, tries to hide but does a terrible job being quite scared. You can hear her breathing heavily from a few metres away.

"Hey! come back here!" sasha yells and runs after her!

A tall, slender man enters the room, wearing a suit and a disturbing grinning mask. "Yes, you can indeed find branchrs thick enough to kill someone, not me though, that's unethical. After all I just want you to have a wonderful time here, that's all. You know learn a few new things, like picking the right branch for "self defense" like these kind gentleman were doing." Grin looks at the group. "Now I will try to be fast as I can. I am not quite ready to get you guys starting, because I haven't finished readying your rooms and some of you guys still haven't woken up yet. So I have to wait for that. Till then you are free to use the shared dorms. The kitchen is open 24/7 so don't be shy and eat as much as you can. We here in the den of Despair stock the fridge daily. Now if you don't have any questions or desperate attempts of trying to kill me, I'll leave."

Peter stared at the man, "Wait, what? How long are we supposed to be here? What's the point of this?" he demanded

"Where are we? Why are we here?" Caleb demanded e_e

Daniel noddede, "Yeah! Answer us! You can't just do this!"

Crimson looked in surprise at the creepy guy... and tried to find a branch.........

Onixa blinked and watch what Crimson was doing " what are you looking for ?" she whispered lowly

Megumi slowly peeked behind the tree, she saw both the masked culprit and Sasha who was running (?) towards her.

Grin put his hand on the mask's chin. "Good Questions, simple answers. You are here in The Den of Despair. How long will you stay? I dunno it's up to you guys. Maybe you guys are god-tier detectives and figure everything out and escape, maybe you guys are just savages and kill eachother or or you guys are just pacifists and live here forever. And why are you here? Because I wanted so!"

Peter frowned, "Wait .. kill each other? No way that's going to happen!"
