When they woke up, they were a small room, with a single door, no windows except for the small one on the door. Feeling cold steel on their wrists, they discovered that they were bound to a stranger with high quality handcuffs. A timer was on the door, ten minutes remaining. However, the timer didn't seem attached to a bomb or anything dangerous, in fact it was on the door, symbolizing that the door would open once the timer hit zero. A speaker from outside the room crackled to life, startling the guests.

Disguised by a voice manipulator, a friendly, yet dark toned voice spoke.

[center][b][color=ed1c24][h2]By the time this message plays, the anesthesia in your systems will have worn off, waking you all from your slumber. If not, your partner or another member of team will tell you this message. Pay attention, I will NOT repeat myself. My name isn't important, where you are isn't important. What is important is that there is a high chance of every single one of you dying while you are here. Do not be so quick as to call me a murderer, insane, or anything else your minds might think of. Call me Game Master, for what you're in right now, is that. A game. Where your life and the others around you is on line. You can work together, or you can betray each other, it matters not to me. Just play by the rules and you will be fine. If not...Well...use your imagination. By now, 7 minutes remain. Take these seven to introduce yourself to your partner, they'll be with you...or not, throughout the game. Once the minutes are up, the doors will open and you'll meet the other teams. After another ten minutes, I'll give you all the rules on the first game. Until then.[/h2][/color][/b][/center]

The speaker shut up, leaving a heavy silence.
