Once you've made your way up the large, cracked marble stairs past the rows of broken pillars, apocalypseArisen and twinArmageddons push open the large wooden doors blocking your path. In the large hallway before you lies rubble and overgrowth, creating somewhat of a maze for the three of you to maneuver through. Beyond that, you find a large, circular room. The upper half of the walls and the ceiling are made of stained glass that depict a green skeleton creature with a golden scepter and crown and different methods of suicide around it. You shutter at the sight and walk a little faster. TwinArmageddons holds out a hand to stop you before he and apocalypseArisen take a knee. You quickly follow their lead.

twinArmageddons: My lord, we've returned.
apocalypseArisen: We've brought the new arrival as you requested.
carcinoGeneticist: . . .

You swallow thickly as you hear thunderous footsteps pounding in your direction from the hallway directly across from the one you'd just entered from. On the wall, you can see the shadow of a monstrous beast heading your way. You bite your lip as the footsteps stop. In the dark of the hall, you can see two bright red irises glaring back at you. This must be the creature from the murals on the windows.

carcinoGeneticist: STAND. STEP FORWARD.

You're not sure why you're nervous, but you feel a strong sense of intimidation. You comply and stand, taking a few steps forward. He holds up a large clawed hand and you stop as he steps forward. In the light, you can see the being's full figure. Just as the murals showed, he is indeed what you had assumed to be the class of Cherub. The creature is tall and well built. The only clothes he wears is a regal looking red robe and a white pair of ripped shorts. He bends down a little to look you in the eye.

carcinoGeneticist: STATE YOUR NAME, CLASS, AND BUSINESS HERE.

You can feel your hands shaking as you type with as good of grammar as you can manage. You cannot blow this.

turntechGodhead: Dave Strider. I am the Knight of Time. I want to join The Dead Hearts Club.

You can hear his avatar bark out a deep, terrifying laugh. It rattles you to the bone.

carcinoGeneticist:DO YOU THINK WE JUST LET ANYONE IN HERE? ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WITH SUCH LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE GAME? TELL ME: DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH DEPRESSION? SUICIDAL TENDENCIES?
turntechGodhead: My brother abuses and starves me most of the time. I get harassed at school for being a red eyed poser. All of my two friends hate me as of today, which includes my current love interest. The only person I have now is my cousin who's just as hated as I am.

You wait for some nasty or sarcastic remark, but you get none. Rather, the green skeleton leader straightens, giving you almost a look of pity.

carcinoGeneticist: EVERYONE, COME OUT AND MEET OUR NEW MEMBER.

You watch as apocalypseArisen and twinArmageddons stand. In the hall that the hellish beast standing before you entered from, you see four shadows approaching. The first to emerge is a girl with pale skin and bright pink eyes. Her blonde hair is curled out at the ends. Her dress, pants, and boots are blue and her face is partially hidden with a mask. She also wears blue fingerless gloves. Her black lipstick contrasts greatly with her fair complexion.
Next is a sea dwelling troll with violet eyes sitting behind a pair of hipster frames and jet black hair. There's a streak of purple in the front of it. His getup is a yellow color with puffy shorts and a short sleeved shirt with a pointed hood. The outfit also includes yellow gloves with rings on each finger to accessorize, white stalkings, and purple flats.
Another small troll follows behind him, this one being a regular troll. Her tier is the same as the girl before her except hers is pink with green boots rather than blue. She's riding on the back of a tall, buff troll. His god tier is very similar to the blonde's. He has fairly long hair with bangs cut straight across and cracked shades.
You also quickly look over apocalypseArisen and twinArmageddons. ApocalypseArisen has a costume nearly identical to yours. There are only a handful of differences, such as her hood, her black flats, and lack of cape. TwinArmageddons has a green tier with a pointed hood and purple boots. Just a you're inspecting them, they're looking you over as well, some of them with distaste. The judgmental glares make you squirm.

carcinoGeneticist: INTRODUCE YOURSELVES.

The blonde girl smiles and waves.

The sea dweller rolls his eyes.

caligulasAquarium: eridan ampora, prince of hope
caligulasAquarium: im here for reasons pretty similar to you
caligulasAquarium: basically everyone hates me, my best friend left me when i confessed my feelins to her, and nobody loves me

The small troll in pink hops down off the other brutes back and hugs Eridan tightly.

arsenicCatnip: 33 <dont be sad eridan! youre our friend meow!
arsenicCatnip: 33<im nepeta! im the rogue of heart!
arsenicCatnip: 33<im here beclaws my sister went deaf in an accident recently
arsenicCatnip: 33<she missed being able to hear so much that she...

The tall muscle mass Nepeta was with before finally speaks up, cutting her off so she doesn't have to go on.

centaursTestical: D--> I am Equius Zahaak
centaursTestical: D--> I am the Heir of Void
centaursTestical: D--> I am here because of Nepeta

apocalypseArisen: im aradia megido! im the maid of time! im here because i have an obsession with death 0w0

You glance around, but can no longer see your new Lord anywhere. That's when you notice a small troll has taken his place. His costume is identical to yours, but his is brown instead of red. This troll has a messy mop of hair and bright red eyes. You're not sure who it is until he speaks.

carcinoGeneticist: KARKAT VANTAS. LORD OF BLOOD. MY REASONING FOR BEING HERE AND CREATING THIS CLUB ISN'T ANY OF YOUR CONCERN. JUST BE HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.
turntechGodhead: isn't the point of this whole thing that none of you are happy?

The small troll growls and moves his face closer to yours. You'd never admit that it startled you.

carcinoGeneticist: LOOK, ASSHOLE, I STILL DON'T LIKE YOU. YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR MY SAKE, YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE ARADIA AND SOLLUX SAW POTENTIAL IN YOU. DON'T LET ME DOWN.

He turns his back to you and begins walking down the hall he entered through.

carcinoGeneticist: LET'S GO. IT'S TIME TO START THE MEETING.

You watch as the rest of the group mindlessly follows. You're not sure why, but you find yourself following their lead without hesitation. You only wish you'd known the dangers of this club ahead of time.
