Blank (5)

[Notification: You have been poisoned. Duration remaining: 5 days 2 hours and 15 minutes. Current state will remain until such time.]

Blank tried to open his eyes but couldn't. He would have thought he was dead except for the annoying notification flashing around in his brain. Beside him he heard movement and Royal saying a few choice words that should not be written down.

[Notification: Record length at maximum, do you wish to overwrite what already exists? Saved clips will remain.]

Huh something simi useful? Blank quickly saved the clip with Rash and then selected overwrite. To his joy the video started playing in his brain of his surroundings, although he still couldn't move which was annoying. Maybe he should create an auto record when he was unconscious?

So what was happening currently? He found himself staring at a rock. How annoying. He continued to stare at the rock for lack of other things to do. Had it been the four hours? Probably yes, but judging by the whole part one thing, this was far from over.

Should he be happy about Unholy playing with them? They were still alive at least.

He heard more movement beside him with a groan. Royal was moving? Wow just how strong was his poison resistance?

Blank felt a hand on his neck. Aww Royal was checking his pulse. It was insanely cute to him. It also made him want to hug Royal. Curses to this predicament!

His screen view changed as Royal seemed to roll him slightly and continue checking him for injuries. So cute! He'd almost forgotten Royal's subclass was healer alchemist.

"Unconscious huh? You just had to stay unconscious. Ugh if yours is the same as mine you are stuck like that for a few days." Royal grumbled. "And now I'm talking to an unconscious person like they can hear me heheheh." He chuckled to himself muttering about how he might be going insane.

Awwwww Blank found it so adorable. Keep talking I'm bored. He thought. And you're adorable when you think no one is watching.

Now that he was facing Royal he could be happy watching him all day. Royal had propped his head on his blue jacket and was currently showing off two well muscled arms. Blank wanted to do many things to him. Now if he would just take off his shirt for a bit as well? Was that too much to hope for?

A crash sounded nearby and Royal seemed to look over at something Blank couldn't see. Then he heard footsteps.

"Oh you're up are you?" Blank instantly recognized GreedIsGood's voice.

"It has been four hours." Royal replied.

At this Greedy laughed. "Oh Unholy wanted me to mention that when you woke up. You see he never specified which drug you have to survive, so he went ahead and selected another for you. Don't worry when they get back we will get started."

"I should of know you pile of scum would never hold to your words." Royal growled back.

"Oh and what are you going to do about it? You hardly look in the shape to fight even if you are alive breathing and somehow conscious." He laughed again. "Your friend looks a little worse off though, maybe I should put him out of his misery."

"Touch him and you are dead." Royal growled.

This just made him laugh again. "Well let's hope he wakes up when the others return, if not ….. well hahah." With this Blank heard his footsteps start to grow further off in the distance again.

Royal hissed something under his breath that Blank didn't catch. Then he felt Royal gently stroking his head. Aww it felt so soft and sweet. If he had to die like this he'd be okay with that.

He wasn't sure exactly how much time passed. He could of watched the timer but ... watching Royal was oh so much better. His body had started shivering on its own at one point. Then his little mini dream came true. Royal took off his shirt.

His muscles rippled under the skin as he folded it and moved it to be Blank's pillow then took his jacket to cover him. Blank didn't miss that Royal took a few extra seconds to tuck in the edges. Sooo cute!

Now the mostly 'unconsciously conscious' Blank got to watch Royal look even more captivating. Darn it if only he could move. His tongue had some serious ideas of how to get in a little exercise and keep warm.

Blank sighed sadly to himself, oh well watching was still way too amazing. Royal was checking out their cage. From the part Blank could see it was roughly made and they had moved locations. Although he didn't recognize the place.

It was dusty and rocky. It reminded him of parts of Utah. But there was no way they had traveled that far. Red rocks formed the ground and surroundings. The entire ground was basically a large rock. Over to the far side what looked like a slot canyon had formed.

The area they were in seemed to be the opening of the floor of one slot canyon the opened to the top of another. In other words it was basically a narrow cliff. Very well hidden, it was unlikely that anyone would find them here.

That would be a problem, they were on their own. Then he heard more footsteps and Royal moved up from his position with a growl.

"Ah you are awake are you? Pity I had hoped to just kill you without any more trouble." Came Unholy's voice.

"This isn't what we agreed." Royal growled back.

"No but since when do I care." Unholy laughed. "The game is just beginning. I'll explain the whole situation to you. In short terms you are doomed hahaha."

Blank guessed that Royal was glaring but he couldn't see his face.

Rash changed faces into Royal and started taunting him.

"Did you really think only you had a special talent unlocked? Heehehe, Well even after you are long dead I'm going to drag your name through the dirt! I'll make it so you 'killed' every single one of your guildmates. Then I'll start randomly killing. It's perfect! A free face to use whenever I want. Maybe I'll mimic Blank's face to get close to them and walk freely around the place!" Rash laughed and turned to Unholy "Do you think I'd make a good leader for the SnowLeopards while I slowly kill them off one by one?"

Unholy rolled his eyes. "Just bring Royal out here. I want to see how long he can last with that famous resist of his. I'm thinking around 5-7 days if he's lucky."

"What you don't want sleeping beauty first?" Rash snorted.

"Touch him and you're dead." Royal growled.

Aww thought Blank forming a video clip of it. Hehe Royal never had to know. He started another clip after it. He should get the Royal vs. Royal clip as well to firmly prove innocence.

"But I want him first. It's more fun if you watch him die in front of you." Rash leaned forward to try and get around Royal.

That was when a knife appeared out of nowhere in Royal's hand and jammed through Rash's heart.

Rash looked stunned for a moment then crumbled into dust as his HP dropped to zero.

"Huh so you moved us into the game." Royal stated as Unholy glared angrily and snapped his fingers.

GreedIsGood and Destroyer appeared.

"I thought you checked them for hidden weapons!" Unholy yelled.

Royal whistled innocently, then smirked. "You should know an assassin always has a hidden blade you won't be able to find. Now shall we pick up where we last left off?"

Unholy took a few steps back so he was in line with the other two and hissed.

Blank wanted to smile and cheer but couldn't even do that. Oh well he's just enjoy Royal being an epic everything. He still didn't have a shirt on….. Blank could watch this all day.

"We are in game" Royal smiled "Your mistake or advantage? Your so called drug might work well in here to kill us without anyone knowing about it. Or for it to transfer to real life as a status effect, but the same works for us. I could kill you and only I would know how. You will be just a small piece of data reading LoneWolves's RoyalBlue killed Team Red's Unholy. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"So you managed to kill one of us it's still three on one or two if you count the limp body over there." Unholy hissed.

"That all the advantage I need." Royal growled back "Care to invite a few more friends to even it out?"

Blank could have laughed as Unholy's face grew more red. "Even if you escape you won't live. I'll inject you with this if it's the last thing I do."

From his pocket he pulled out another syringe with green liquid this time. "We are in a far off side challenge miles from a log out point, even if you somehow get there you are in a dive tub in our base surrounded by the rest of our members. You're dead!"

"Who said I don't like a good challenge." Replied Royal with a cunning smile. "And I'm going to ace it with five stars and wipe out your guild while I'm at it."
