From the corner of the room sprang a giant pink rat. The rat landed on the fire pit, immediately putting out the fire as she landed. It stood there grinning evily at all of us as the smoke from the fire surrounded her. The smoke made her look creepier than she already looked.

"It's the one, the only, TANEZUMI!" the rat yelled before twirling and bowing.

"No!" Pizza Steve stamped his foot. "Impossible! Get out of here! You're not going to fuck this up too!"

"Steve-o!" the rat looked offended. "I don't ruin things! I make them better!"
"Don't hurt my friends, Tanezumi!" Uncle Grandpa pleaded.

"I don't have to hurt them! Because they're going to hurt each other!" Tanezumi cackled.

Before we knew it, every window and exit door in the RV were covered with large metal bars and chains. Riley immediately began to freak out. He grabbed the log we were sitting on and clung onto it for dear life while hyperventilating.

"These chains are weak!" Xarna laughed before grabbing one of them. "I can break them open!"
She immediately began tugging on them. She grit her teeth and her muscles bulged as she struggled with the chain. No matter what she did, however, they didn't budge.

"I'm sorry you transported any last bit of brain matter into those big guns of yours, lady, but you're not getting out of here!" Tanezumi laughed.

Xarna narrowed her eyes at the rat.

"That's enough!" the girl with the cat ears roared before lunging at the rat.

The rat, however, grabbed the girl's hair and swung her over her shoulder, sending the girl crashing into the wall face first.

"TIGER!" Uncle Grandpa and his gang yelled out in unison.

"Listen, I have no problem having Tiger killed again, but I haven't even explained the rules yet. I don't want to have to break out the spears." Tanezumi giggled menacingly.  

Tiger rubbed her head as the muscular guy and the zipper mouth went to help her up.

"First of all, your in MY RV now! This is no longer the UG RV, this is the ZUMI RV. Got it?" the pink rat flipped her hair before snapping her finger, though I'm not sure why a rat has fingers. "Second of all, you are not allowed to try and hurt or kill me, because if you try, you won't be as lucky as Tiger was to just get thrown into the other wall. I will promptly and painfully execute you and use you as an example of what not to do."

The room was silent as everyone focused on the rat. I still wasn't sure if the rat was joking and this was just part of the entertainment for the tour or if this shit was legitimately happening.

"Third, if you want to get out, you have to kill each other!" the rat cackled.

"TANEZUMI NO!!!" Uncle Grandpa screamed.

"Tanezumi yes!" the pink rodent gave a malicious grin. "You have to kill each other, and if no one is able to find out you murdered you can leave!"

"This is insane!" Ule Gapa screamed.

"It gets better!" Tanezumi laughed. "Because I love chaos and death, I decided to add a new part, which is the final rule! Every night at midnight, one unlucky bastard will be randomly selected for a game of fear, which will include life or death games based on supernatural stories or urban legends!"
Uncle Grandpa began to cry. "Why would you do this to my RV and my friends!"

"Shut up, old man!" Tanezumi flipped him off. "The RV is open for exploring between 8 am to 11 pm every day. I suggest you use that time to plan your murders accordingly. I also suggest you do not go to bed immediately at 11 pm, because at 12 am the random fear game selection will be broadcast for viewing in your rooms, which are all labeled accordingly with a nice television and camera system installed."

The pink rat then handed us all our own keys.

"Go find your rooms and happy murdering!" Tanezumi laughed before disappearing.

Uncle Grandpa was on the floor crying as Tiger and the zipper-mouth were trying to comfort him.

"Billy, this is awful!" Uncle Grandpa looked at the zipper-mouthed guy.

"I know..." Billy, the creepy looking guy trying to comfort Uncle Grandpa, turned to us. "Ii'm really sorry about all of this, but make yourself at home I guess!"

"And don't murder each other!" the muscular dark-skinned man said.

"Exactly what Mr. Gus said" Pizza Steve nodded.

We nodded and went to go look for our rooms in the crazy RV. I still couldn't believe this was actually happening. Ned tapped my arm as we walked.  

"Is this some kind of crazy show for the tour or what?" Ned asked.

"I'm not sure, I think the rat was serious." I told him honestly. "But Uncle Grandpa is strange, so anything could happen."

We found a corridor that lead to a branch off of three different hallways.  One hallway was pink, one hallway was blue, and one hallway was purple. Each hallway had a small sign next to it. I went up to the sign to read it, though to be honest I can't really read too well without reading glasses, but like hell if I was going to put them on in front of all these people. I do have an image to maintain, even if it is intimidating.

"Aw man it looks like your room is down the blue hallway, man! I wonder where mine is." Ned sighed in disappointment before walking over to the other signs.

I shrugged and went down the blue hallway, not bothering to try to read the signs. I could have read them if I really wanted to without glasses, but it takes too long. Of course, I realized my mistake when I saw the doors had words on them as well. I decided to go for the door with a word that appeared to have a short word. My name only has three letters in it, so I figured it must have been mine. I tried the key into the lock and... nothing! It wouldn't budge!  I fiddled around with it to the best of my ability and the door would absolutely not budge!

"This door is broken!" I sighed. I then heard someone angrily clear their throat behind me. I turned around and saw Ule Gapa angrily looking at me .

"YOU'RE NOT ULE GAPA!!!!!" he screeched before he leaned in next to me, only about an inch away from my face. "I AM ULE GAPA! THE DOOR SAYS ULE!!!" he screamed right in my ear.  

I had to cover my ears because his scream made them start ringing.

"You're name is Kev, isn't it?" he asked me, venom in his voice.

"Yeah! What's it to ya?"  I asked bitterly.

"You're room is RIGHT THERE you dipshit!" Ule Gapa hissed as he pointed to my actual room's door. "Learn to fucking read! I was forced to learn your shitty culture and you can't even function within your own culture and you were fucking born here! Holy shit!"

"Fuck off!" I flipped him off before going over to my room. I didn't even care if I angered him to be honest. I heard him angrily open the door before slamming it. I rolled my eyes as I put the key in the door's lock. This door had no trouble opening. I stepped inside and was a bit disturbed by what I saw. Sure enough, there was a television looming over the bed, but there was also a surveillance camera right next to it, which  I found unnerving. Why would anyone need to watch us in our bedrooms?

I looked around the room and it seemed pretty empty besides a bed, a drawer that had several outfits that I would wear on a regular basis (which I found odd. it's almost like all of this was planned), a small bathroom, two medium sized mirrors on the walls in the exact same position across from each other, two medium sized pictures of a leafless tree positioned in an odd spot on the wall positioned the same way on the walls across from each other, and a small table with a gift basket on top of it. I decided to look into the gift basket and found a sketch book with some mechanical pencils, pencil lead refills, and erasers. I also found a switch blade, which I decided to put in my pocket just in case I needed to defend myself from any crazy person trying to murder me. I looked in the bathroom and it looked like an ordinary bathroom with a sink, a shower, and a toilet. On the sink's counter was a tooth brush with tooth paste I regularly use, a hair comb, hair gel and spray that I regularly use, deodorant, and hand soap. In the shower there was shampoo and body was I regularly used. I was honestly weirded out by all of the familiar products I regularly use being in this room. I just got here, how the hell do they know what kind of shampoo I use?

"We just want you to be as comfortable as possible!" Tanezumi spoke up from behind me. I jumped, nearly falling into the shower.

"Did I spook you? HA! I thought you were a punk rocker! Punk rockers aren't supposed to get scared, poser!" she mocked and laughed.

"I wasn't scared, you turd!" I hissed. "You just surprised me. I didn't expect you to be there. How did you even get in?"

"You left the door open, dingus!" Tanezumi laughed. "Enjoy your familiar products, it may be your last day to enjoy them!"

"Whatever!" I waved her off.

Tanezumi disappeared after that. I shrugged and exited my room, being sure to close the door this time. I didn't want that rat back in my room. No one was around in the hallway, so I put my reading glasses on to see who else had a room in the blue hall with me besides that asshole Ule Gapa. I groaned as I saw Nac's room across from mine. Next to her room was Villefoe, the bear guy with a beard. Next to Villefoe's room was Anthony's room. Next to my room was Celeste's room. I nodded and took the glasses off before hearing a quiet giggle across the hall. I look and see Celeste standing there with a grin on her face. The grin quickly faded the minute I noticed her and she immediately hid her face in her puffy sleeves again.

"What's so funny?" I asked her. After asking, I realized I sounded kinda harsh when I didn't actually mean to.

She let out a squeak and buried her face deeper into her sleeves. "I-I'm not laughing at you! I-I think you look nice in glasses!" she answered, barely audible through her sleeves.

"You think so?" I cleared my throat, realizing my voice sounded a bit cracked.

She briefly took her sleeves off from her face. "Yes!" she quickly answered before hiding in her sleeves again and running off in the other direction.

That little girl was quite strange. I shook my head and decided to check up on Ned. Before I did, I saw Villefoe exit his room. He looked at me like as if he knew something  I didn't before leaving the hall. I shook my head and also exited the hall. I found Ned walking down the purple hallway.

"This place is weird!" he told me. "It has all the stuff I would normally wear and use if I were home!"

"Same thing in my room!" I sighed.

"The place doesn't even have proper wifi!" I heard Nac screech from the blue hall before stomping over to the corridor.

"That's all she's worried about?" I rolled my eyes.

"Why don't we explore the rest of the RV? Like the rat said, we should get aquainted with this place. Even if we aren't killing anyone, we should still try to learn about the place. We might be able to find the answers we came to look for here!" Ned suggested.

"Yeah I guess." I shrugged.

We walked down the corridor to get back into the campfire room, but I ended up seeing a door that caught my eye. "Hey, what's in here?" I asked going up to the door.

It was an ordinary utility closet door, but knowing Uncle Grandpa something really whacky could be inside there. Plus, in the utility closet might be weapons that Ned and I could use to defend ourselves. I opened the door and immediately regretted my decision.
Let the Fear Games begin!
