Four Hours have passed. 412 (925 total) people eliminated today. 15 have found the exit. Thirty minutes until the Wheel.

“Wow!” A voice called out, and I had to agree. The number of people eliminated doubled in the last two hours.

“Not that surprising.” A new voice said coming up the stairs. “Most of you avoided the war going on out there. Pretty sure that guy had a green bounty, but look now it's shifted into yellow.” The man said pointing at me.

I looked down at my nametag, and sure enough, it had faded to yellow. I had no idea how high my bounty had been, but the fact that it was deep in the yellow meant some serious shit was going down.

“Holy shit,” I said to Alexa, and she nodded back.

“What kind of war?” Bob asked.

“Office War, dipshit. There is a psychopath out there wielding a bladed weapon from a paper cutter. He is straight up decapitating people. Public enemy number one, but with all the chips and items he is accumulating I think I will just avoid him altogether.”

“What’s his name?” Someone in one of the other groups yelled out.

“Illuminator.”

“That is the stupidest fucking name I have ever heard.” Fungi said which garnered several chuckles.

“Well feel free to tell him that yourself.” The guy said and wandered off, and several others scrambled in after him.

“Pay for the bandages, and I’ll help you guys out.” Nevi said approaching those coming up the stairs. I missed the rest of the conversation, but they were nodding to her gratefully, so I left it alone.

“Hey man, can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?” Fungi said to me. “Nothing bad, just kind of personal.”

“Sure man. Be right back everyone.” I stood up and followed Fungi over to a corner where no one was.

“Are you and Alexa a thing?” Fungi started off nervously, and I found myself laughing.

“Sorry, not- uh just-” I laughed again. “I mean to say, we are not a thing, just trying to help her win.”

“Why?”

“Look at the way she acts with everyone and tell me what you think she is outside of here.”

Fungi to his credit did think about it for a few moments. “A Serf?”

“I think so, but do not talk to her about it. She thinks if she can get close to the end she can pay off her debt and if I had the money I would just give it to her. So we have an agreement.”

“Can I help?” Fungi asked.

“You and I? Sure why not, but let's not talk about it ok? I have no idea if she wants people to know and I don’t want to break the trust yea?”

“Yea, deal.” Fungi said. “And you are sure you are not a couple?”

I laughed and shook my head and walked away.

“Hey, I am serious!” He said rather loudly.

“I will not interfere, man, do what you like.” I grinned at him, and then returned to my couch.
