"Um, so, this probably isn't the best time to bring this up," Mira said with a slight tremor in her voice, "But I really have to go to the bathroom."
Nienna shot her an exasperated look. "Can't it wait?"
"Um no. No it really can't."
"Okay fine," Nienna rolled her eyes, assuming teacher-mode. "Let's go find a bathroom."
With that, the pair headed in the direction of the corridor their host had recently left down. The others decided to discuss their plight.
"So if this works the way the others have," Greenie began slowly, "It's safe to assume that everything our host said was true and we do actually have to follow his rules."
"Meaning we have to kill someone?" Inzil asked.
"Looks that way," Nerwen answered. "Although they usually come back to life after the game is over."
"But who knows if this one is the same as the others," Loslote pointed out. Silence fell again.
"So we have four wolves, a werebear, a Hunter, a Ranger, a Seer, a cobbler, two Lovers, and seven ordos," Brinn counted off.
"So how should we-" Hakon's question was cut off by the sound screaming.
Fea jumped. "That was Mira!" Nobody decided to question how she knew that, as the two had been friends for years.
The group took off running down the corridor, coming to an abrupt halt near what they assumed was the bathroom. Lying on the floor, bleeding from the pores, was Nienna. Or at least, they assumed it was Nienna, since the face was covered in blood and Mira was still standing.
"What happened?" Nog asked, attempting not to panic.
"She was fine and then said she got really dizzy and-ow!" Mira doubled over, grabbing her stomach. When she had recovered enough to look up, the others saw that her face was covered in blood. "Never...got...my...cookies..." With that, she slid down the wall and said no more. She was dead.
A hush fell over the group.
