This choice: Finally, the drive stops at an isolated, run-down mansion. • Go Back...Chapter #7Finally, the drive stops at an isolated, run-do... by: Unknown Exciting the van you were greeted by the site of an exotic but isolated mansion somewhere out in the woods. The mansion was massive. Three stories at least with acres of land surrounding the grounds. Beyond the grounds was nothing but trees however, dense woodlands as far as the eye could see.
You and your relatives stepped out one by one each guided by the lawyer who brought you entrance to the grounds.
“Before we begin everyone must surrender all personal items. This includes cellphones, watches, keys, wallets, nothing can be taken into the grounds except your person and the clothes you are currently wearing.” The lawyer said holding out bags for everyone.
“Will we get them back?” One of your younger female cousins said who was obviously obsessed with her phone.
“Yes, once you complete the challenge or voluntarily surrender.” He said going about and collecting everyone’s things.
You didn’t like the idea of giving up your cellphone out in the middle of no where, however your competitive nature wouldn’t let you surrender so easily. You reluctantly gave up your stuff feeling a bit naked in the process.
Once everyone’s things were collected the lawyer began handing out envelopes to everyone. They were small but rather heavy for their size. Once you were handed yours you opened it and out slid a very old looking metal key into your hand.
Upon closer examination you saw 3A etched into the key which you guessed was your room assignment.
“Now everyone. I see you all have your room assignments. This key is for your room. Once you step foot into the mansion grounds please be aware that means you have officially accepted the challenge. Once on the grounds you are prohibited from leaving the mansion grounds which are dictated by the large black gate you see here that covers the perimeter of the property. If you leave the grounds it is considered a voluntary surrender and you will be removed from the property and out of the challenge. Is that understood?” The lawyer asked.
Everyone nodded after a bit still curious what this challenge actually was. Slowly however everyone began entering the gate. As they did their keys began to light up including yours as a little red light turned on. You guessed it was a built in GPS showing you were inside the grounds.
You noticed the grounds of mansion were pretty creepy. There was a cemetery, a hedge maze, bunches of old statues, and even a pond.
Once inside the mansion everyone seemed to light up as their expressions were in shock and surprise.
The mansion was old fashioned in design but modern as far as conventional things were considered. It reminded you of a haunted mansion mixed with a modern day resort.
“Please follow the stars to the appropriate floor for your room. The number represents your floor and the letter of your room will be marked on the door. Once again, good luck to everyone!” The lawyer said before leaving everyone.
Heading up the stairs you sighed of course you would be on the third floor. Hiking up the stars you noticed there seemed to be monitors on almost every corner. You weren’t sure what they were for yet but it had to be part of the challenge.
Finally getting up to the third floor you found your room by the corner of the stairs as you inserted the key and heard a beeping noise as the door unlocked.
“Old fashioned key but new lock design...” You thought a bit curious.
As you entered the room you were suddenly caught off guard as there was a sudden shot of clear gas from a hole in the ceiling directly down into your face.
Coughing you spun around trying to clear it as you felt fine after a couple minutes.
“What the hell was that?” You called out. You saw the gas was set to a mechanism that was triggered when you entered the room. That meant it was set off on purpose for you.
Looking around you noticed the room was rather nice but nothing was open yet. The drawers, the closet, even the door the bathroom was locked. You went to the bed and saw a large TV on a stand in front along with an envelope on the bed. As you went to the envelope the TV behind you suddenly turned on.
“Hello there....well...whoever you are.” A familiar voice said as you spun around.
It was uncle Lionel! He was on the TV! It took you a moment to realize this was a recording he did before the challenge as he read off of a script.
“Greetings my family and relatives! If you are watching this it means you have agreed to my little challenge in hopes of getting some of my sweet hard earned cash after I die. Now don’t take this personally but honestly I never liked any of you...I worked hard my whole life to build my fortune in the technology world so why should I let a bunch of greedy spoiled brats take what’s mine simple because we share some blood connection? Well the answer is simple...I won’t...Not without you proving you are worthy of it. Hence this little game of mine.” Uncle Lionel said as he began coughing off camera as it was clear he recorded this right before his death.
“Now...For those of you who actually knew me you should know I was always a big fan of mysteries. Specifically murder mysterious. I loved games like Clue growing up as a child and always wondered how to do something like that myself. Well I finally figured out how...” Lionel said with a rather wicked looking grin.
You began to get a little worried but you were beginning to see where this was going.
“We are going to have ourselves a little mystery adventure here...I will be playing the role as the dead man for obvious reasons...The twist here is you will be playing roles I have chosen to fit the scene. The rules here are quite simple...
“One of you is a murderer...You killed me for my inheritance and plan on taking all my fortune for yourself. The rest of you are determined to expose this murderer yourselves. My will clearly states in the event I am murdered the one who correctly solves my murder first will inherit my entire estate.” Lionel said coughing.
You were beginning to understand the rules more as you continued to listen.
“Now the rules are simple. You will be given a character. You must act as that character the entire time. If you ever break character and act yourself you forfeit the challenge. Everyone here is under constant surveillance so do not try to secretly break character in hopes of cheating.
From there the rules are simple. The mansion is littered with clues, secret passages, and traps. All manner of devices designed to make your challenge more difficult. You must follow the clues and investigate the others to try and figure out who is the murderer.
In order to correctly solve the mystery you must correctly identify the murderer and provide proof of their crime. Only then will the challenge complete. If you attempt to accuse another but do not provide proof or provide incorrect evidence you will surrender yourself from the challenge instead. So be careful when making accusations.
So far this sounds nice and fun doesn’t it? Well here is where things get interesting. You will notice your character cards might not fit your current body profile. You might see a different, gender, race, age, etc. Well here is where the game gets tricky...
The gas you breathed in upon entering the room was actually a powerful nanotechnology that is rewriting your DNA as we speak...Your body is about to undergo a very special transformation. Also...If you surrender the challenge or cheat before a winner is decided the transformation will become permanent...The only way for all you to return to normal is for one of you to win...”
Your eyes began to widen realizing you had just made a huge mistake...
Lastly, there can only be one winner. Feel free to make and break alliances however you want to, but in the end there is only one who can win...”
The video ended as you suddenly fell to your hands and knees in pain. It felt like your entire insides were burning as your entire body felt like twisting from the inside out...
Scrambling over to the envelope on the bed you saw your new identity as you gasped seeing it was...
Choice one- (Mary Lisbeth, 29, mistress of Lionel. Mary is most recent lover of Lionel and total sex bomb.
