It seemed like hours until the lights were finally restored, and once the lights beamed on...

     Sherwood's POV

     It was only a matter of time before the lights turned on, and to my surprise, I didn't flinch. Everyone around me shielded their eyes, and I took the time to glare at the ceiling. Vince the Greninja seemed to be working on one of the lights on the ceiling, as well as Kanom the Toxicroak on one of the other lights.

     "Geez! Why does it have to be so bright!" called Aubra from a specific corner of the room. I could only yawn, before being slightly startled by the sound of a loud thud.

     "Arceus fuckin' damnit!" a violently Northern Irish voice called, and I could only assume those words were spoken by Vince. Loki stopped shielding her eyes and dashed immediately to Vince.

     "Are you okay, Vince!?" The Zoroark blurted out as she helped him stand back up.

     "Yeh, I'm fine. Sorry for the trouble," the Greninja politely smiled...well...at least I think he did. That tongue-scarf of his always covers up every emotion. He sighed, before pacing his way over to the kitchen. A Manectric named Rayne confidently stepped onto the living room carpet.

     "You know, Loki" Rayne began as the Zoroark shifted her attention to the Manectric who licked her paw once before speaking.

     "If you keep being so nice, you may be the first one to die," Rayne spoke bluntly as the Zoroark flinched back in fear.

     "W-What?" Loki blurted out before she continued. "What do you mean? We all promised no one was going to kill each other, right?" The Dark-type replied as the Manectric groaned.

     "Don't you get it already? Sam has most likely prepared something for that, so someone has to have a mindset or plan to kill someone," Rayne fought back as her point was quickly objected.

     "Aye, but that's quite a suspicious thing to say tho, huh?" A Mid-night Lycanroc spoke, and it was clear he did so with his very strong New York style accent. Due to this, Rayne hissed back in response.

     "Back off, Lancer. No one asked for you to join in the conversation!" The hot-tempered Manectric hissed. Lancer could only smirk, before answering...

     "Oh! You sure don't like it when people call you out, huh? I'll take note of that, hehe," the red Lycanroc softly chuckled, before leaving the room. A midday Lycanroc wandered up and replaced Lancer's spot, happily grinning.

     "Sorry for my brother, he just likes to see people mad," the brown Lycanroc happily spoke as the Manectric sighed in relief.

     "At least you're more bearable, Talus." Rayne roughly spoke as Talus drew an ear to ear grin, which can bring almost anyone joy.

     "Dunno how he can be so happy in a situation like this," I spoke promptly, glaring directly at the happy Lycanroc.

     "I know!" all conversations were interrupted as everyone began to turn their attention to the Eevee. "We should all stay in the same room while we sleep so murder is less likely to happen!" Grace cheerfully called as we all legitimately thought about it. For once, the Eevee had a great idea.

     "For once, you have an actual good idea?" Inu called from the other side of the room, almost like she read my mind...

     "Honestly, after hearing that comment...maybe we should try it?" Loki suggested the idea as most of us glared at each other for a while, before one of us speaking first.

     "We should consider it, it does seem like it would not happen due to the fact that you would get caught. But my question is, what would happen if you murder someone? If you get caught, do you just...die as well?" Talus spoke with concern, glaring at everyone in the room.

     "Guess we have no other choice but to do it, I choose the room!" Inu blurted out before anyone else could make a choice. She marched ahead into possibly one of the biggest rooms in the mansion. The room was entirely empty, but coincidentally, there were multiple sleeping bags placed on the ground.

     "Well isn't this weird?" Galant spoke from behind me and scooted his way in between me to possibly get a better look of the place. He glanced around, before choosing one.

     "Well, we're picking already? Isn't it a bit too early to just sleep now?" Loki muttered worriedly.

     "We don't have to sleep now, we can talk about anything while we're all just sitting down and chilling!" Grace leaped onto a random sleeping bag, a huge grin on her face.

     "I suppose we can continue then," Loki huffed out, before choosing a sleeping bag. Soon enough, everyone had chosen a sleeping bag. We all sat down peacefully, glaring around until someone began the conversation.

     "Well, I suppose we can begin the conversation. Does anyone remember what happened...before this?" Leon muttered out...and silence filled the air. Everyone's eyes grew more surprised the more they realized they did not remember a single thing from before they were moved to the mansion.

     "Well that is indeed very odd, why is this so? Did Sam knock the memory out of our brains...or was this because we have a bad case of amnesia?" Leon followed up as everyone carried on being completely silent.

     "If no one is comfortable to speak...we can all just sleep...right? I don't know about you guys but...I'm worn out. Let's just rest, for now, we can deal with all of this tomorrow..." Loki yawned lightly, before turning over and planting her head on a pillow. More silence...

     It's almost as if everyone gave up in such a short time, little by little everyone just turned around and planted their heads onto the pillows.

And we all slept...

     Leon's POV

     I woke up first, glaring around the dark room. It seems like someone shut off the lights before we all slept, but I didn't seem to notice as I was already resting. Still, a very horrible smell lingered around my nostrils. I hated it...

     I coughed lightly before I used my sensors to detect my surroundings. I flicked the light switch on, before instantly turning around. However, I regret that, since I saw something that I never would have wanted to see in my entire life...
