In the store…

Claire : Hi sweetie.

Alissa : Hi mom.

Claire : Still waiting for the others to show up?

*Choose :*

* Annoyed “I don’t understand why they can’t move faster.”
* Patient “They were pretty busy lately.”

1 :

Alissa : I don’t understand why they can’t move faster.

Alissa : I don’t know why I always must wait for them to come. They are so slow.

Claire : I know that this can be awful, but you have to be calm about it.

Claire : Have you tried to talk to them?

Alissa : I did, but they still are late.

Claire : Well everyone has their own rhythm of doing things. You have to get used to it.

Alissa : As if I wasn't from last year.

2 :

Alissa : Yeah, they are late, again.

Alissa : But who can blame them?

Alissa : With Dylan and Alice’s disappearance they have been pretty busy lately.

Claire : I know that it was hard for Alex and Cassandra. They are lucky to have you as a friend.

Alissa : And I am lucky to have them.

Alissa : Although I think that Peter is much more dedicated to investigating their disappearance than all of us together.

Alissa : He hates seeing us sad.

Claire : Peter sees you like his siblings, you do realize he doesn’t like to see you sad. Any of you.

Alissa : We grew up together, all the ten of us. But he was always protective with us.

Erika : Hey y’all.

Alissa & Claire : Hi Erika.

Erika : How’s the others?

Alissa : Still home. Peter said he wants to talk to us about the disappearance.

Peyton : Hello peeps! What are you doing?

Alex : Could you stop being weird for just a moment?

Peyton : Who says I’m weird?

Raymond : Literally everyone we’ve passed by!

Claire : You were saying you’re alone now you are 5 in just 2 minutes.

*Choose :*

* Defensive “I’ve said they would come”
* Impatient “If only Peter was faster”

1 :

Alissa : But I knew they would come, slow, but they did.

Alissa : Like you/I said, everyone has their rhythm/they’ve been busy lately.

Claire : You begin to be more patient/understanding, I like it.

2 :

Alissa : I mean, yeah, it’s good.

Alissa : If only Peter was faster to tell us about what he had.

Claire : I think you are as willing to solve this mystery like Peter.

Alissa : What can I say, I think I might become his female version.

Claire : Gosh no! (chuckles)

Peter : Hey y’all!

Erika : Hey babe! *kisses Peter*

Peter : Okay so uh… Where are the others?

*Choose :*

*Choose :*

Evan : Glad to put a smile on your face sometimes!

Peter : Yeah yeah keep trying!

2 :

Evan : That’s nothing, wait til I try! Then you’ll see what I can really do!

Peter : Oh really and what can you really do, eh?

Evan : Entertain you!

Peter : I’m looking forward to that!

Peter : *drinks water*

Evan : *drinks water* You know. This day was… weird.

Peter : With what?

Evan : Everything! First the phone, then the bathroom thing, and the bone.

Peter : There is nothing wrong with that bone!

Peter : Maybe Alissa missed it out of some piece of meat or something.

Evan : She had no meat at her lunch Peter! No one had meat today at lunch. There weren’t even any in the kitchen.

Evan : And with those skeletons around the school? This school never and I mean never decorated for Halloween. Plus I’m sure I’ve seen them before. Their form seems familiar.

Peter : You’re overreacting, there's nothing to worry about.

Evan : Listen, I’m not. Alissa had eaten a rib, one of those skeletons had a rib missing! And she confirmed it isn’t plastic.

Evan : I don’t have a good feeling about this.

Peter : Speaking of feeling good… I don’t feel so… *passes out*

### The Collector Scene

Collector : Ah, you took your time!

Collector : Imma guess you already got to know these poor little souls.

Collector : What do you think about them?

Collector : I’ll tell you my own opinion.

Collector : Peter acts like a father to the other 9. He doesn’t want any of them to be sad so he tries to delve deeper inside this chaos with Alice and Dylan. But this might endanger him!

Collector : Evan! The joking one! I think he sees Peter not as a friend or father, but something more!

Collector : Alex and Raymond, they both want to protect Peyton. And Peyton seems to want to be free a little.

Collector : Alissa, seems like there might be something with her. Perhaps there’s more to find out later about her!

Collector : Erika, she seemed distant. The whole time, even at lunch when everyone was worrying about Alissa, Erika was with her mind in another place.

Collector : Meanwhile, Louis, Cassandra and Jamie are still yet to discover about.

Collector : But enough about the students. Let’s talk about the cards you’ve found.

Collector : A handful of cards! Ha, you’re lucky today pal!/No cards? Sad. I thought you could search better.

Collector : Now let’s take a look at them!

Collector : Before we start, most cards have both negative and positive effects, or just negative and positive.

Collector : I want to tell you that these symbols represent different categories :

Collector : The Hearts are about emotions, fulfillment, but also about love and loss…

Collector : The Diamonds are about the material things, physical objects we can touch, or in your case : objects that might aid the students to survive…

Collector : The Spades are about thoughts, good or troubling…

Collector : And the Clubs are about actions or passions, bad or not, with or without consequences.

Collector : And the Jokers! They only represent risks, or foolish actions.

Collector : Now, shall we begin?

Collector : 6 of Diamonds.

Collector : The 6 of Diamonds represents an offering, a contribution of help. This can help somebody’s life, of course, but refusal can lead to death.

Collector : 8 of Hearts.

Collector : A negative effect comes out of the Hearts split in 8. They mean splitting up, not just physically, but also romantically. Might want to prepare some tissues!

Collector : 9 of Clubs.

Collector : The determination to finish a task represents the 9th card of the Clubs suit, but it also comes with a dark side, the stress of overworking.

Collector : 8 of Clubs.

Collector : The 8 of Clubs represent the fast forwarding of events, a moment crucial for the students, you better be hoping that they can settle their minds quickly.

Collector : 5 of Diamonds.

Collector : A diamond smashed into five bits. Could be a bad thing but it isn’t. It represents the need of help, something they’ll need alliance for, the relationship they’ve built is going to be tested.

Collector : And finally the 9 of Spades.

Collector : Opposite of dreams. 9 nightmares are being lurked by these Spades, but, we’ll probably make it 10, who knows?

Collector : Well, I guess our time is over. Have a nice trip, and we’ll see each other again soon.
