92 The Object Version

92 the object version, Prologue- The Strange Place, The Strange Watch Scenario 1: Save my friends!!!! Weather: Thunder Day 1 92/92 objects remain Time: 12:00 P.M

"Where am I?"

Grandfather Clock said as he wakes up in an unfamiliar place. The place doesn't seem to have any other objects as it seems to be a lot of nature and less buildings than usual. With most places now filled with electronics, and futuristic stuff, and artificial plants, natural places such as these are very rare nowadays. "This natural place....shouldn't be around anymore......I must be dreaming."

But he couldn't wake himself up no matter how many times he tried. So, he decided to accept that this place still exist.

"I just can't remember....how I got here at all...."

There was no recollection at all of how he got here. No matter how hard he tried, he can't remember how he got here.

"Hmm?" He felt something strange on his left wrist. He looked towards it, and found a strange wrist-watch.

(How could such a thing---still exist? Maybe this was taken from one of the futuristic ObjectNet museums---but, the security there should be 'unstoppable'.)

Chapter 1- Inside the Building Weather: Thunder Day 1 92/92 objects remain Time: 12:10 P.M "Okay, this is weird." He widened his eyes because inside the building, it seems like there were candles on both sides of the walls. Outside, rain continued to dropped. It was already raining when Grandfather Clock woke up but now, thunder came to his ears. "Good thing that I'm now inside." He said to himself as he continued to walk further and further into the strange building.

Then, he felt a strange presence ahead. "It seems like someone else besides me got into this mess." The wet clock said to himself as he stopped walking. He noticed a door right next to him. The antique clock goes in through the unlocked door. He wants to see if there's anyone who could help him to know where he's at.

In the room, it was almost empty. But on the right, there were mirrors that were right behind one another. It could be referred to as odd and strange, but there were small, mysterious openings in the mirrors which piqued Grandfather Clock's interest more so than the  The antique and wet clock was going to the right to find what's on the other side until.... "AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!???" He felt two arms right behind him, the ticking of his 'minute' and 'hour hands' stopped ticking. That's how much fear he's experiencing.

"Oh come on Clocky, you know me right?" An unfamiliar voice speaks right behind him. "No! I don't know you!" Grandfather Clock replied back to the mysterious voice. Although in his mind, Clocky was one of his nicknames from long ago. He was first called that in his first day in kindergarten.

"I guess puberty really does change your voice. I'm surprised that female objects can have radically different voices before and after it." Now, the voice is becoming more familiar to the antique clock. He carefully turned around and..... "Tsubaki-chan! Err, I mean, Tsubaki! My bad." Grandfather Clock jumped in surprise and he almost hit the top of where the door was. "Hahahaha! Even though I'm 17 years old, you can still call me that Clocky." Tsubaki replied as her red leaves was blowing due to the high winds.

Grandfather Clock quickly turned around to hide his blushing. "Ah! I know what your face is hiding!" Tsubaki said that with a face which anyone can be scared to and even run away. "You are actually thinking to 'upgrade' our friendship aren't you!" The flower said as she blushes as well. Grandfather Clock turned around again and said with a strong voice "Oh well, what were those two arms then!?" "You were extremely sensitive to tickling Clocky. I thought you still had that trait Clocky." Tsubaki said as she sits down on a chair near the door.

"Oh, that. I'm not that ticklish anymore Tsubaki-chan." The clock said as he once more blushes in embarrassment. "Dang you really want to 'upgrade' our friendship. I can see it in your face." Tsubaki said as she puts her hand on her face. "Anyways, do you know where is this place Tsubaki?" Grandfather Clock said as he scratches the back of his head.

"Do you really think I know this place!?" Tsubaki said loudly in protest. "Ok, just wondering. After all, this may have been your house! You never know what might happen!" The clock said as his thoughts about this place whirl around his head. "Hmm, do you have a clock on your left wrist Tsubaki?" The clock curiously said. "Eh!? How did you know!?" Tsubaki said as she greatly widened her eyes. "Well Tsubaki, I just happened to have the same wristwatch clock as you on my left wrist. See?" Grandfather Clock points to his left wrist.

"Huh? That's weird that you have the same wristwatch as mine?!" Tsubaki said as she stands up from the chair. "I know, it's weird for me too. Anyways, do you want to search this building or somewhere else?" Grandfather Clock said as he once again goes close to the mirrors in the room. "Um, let's search this building for a bit. Then, let's look somewhere else to see if we can't find a car or something that can help us find our way home." Tsubaki said as she was worried about Grandfather Clock.

The antique clock touched the nearest mirror to him and said "Hmm, nothing of suspicious material here. No secrets I can see ahead. But let me go further into this weird room." Grandfather Clock said as he walked farther into the mirror room. "Wait a minute, more rooms?" Grandfather Clock said as he saw three doors, evenly spaced apart. The actual room was small, with 5 chairs on both sides of it. "Come on Tsubaki, let's go!" The curious clock said as they went to open the 1st door.

The 1st room seemed like a normal apartment room, with 1 bathroom, 1 refrigerator, 3 bedrooms, and even cooking materials and food+water to make themselves feel right at home. "Umm, Tsubaki? Should we rest here or search for more rooms? In my opinion, I think we should rest here, the contrast in all of the rooms are so great, I fear for you and I the next room we open." Grandfather Clock said with suspicion and doubt in his voice. "I agree with you Clocky. Let's rest for a minimum of 1 and a half hours. We may even stay here longer because this is the only room we know so far in this building that has food and clean water. Agreed?" Tsubaki says with a absolute voice. "Agreed."

Since they both agreed that they'll be taking a long rest in that 'apartment room', I should tell more about that room. There are enough food for the both of them to last at least 25 days if they'll be conservative about their food supply. There is enough water to last them at the most, 10 days. The status of the apartment room itself is pretty good, there is no mold, there are only a few ants, and it seems to be in good condition based on how there are no cobwebs and there are no dirt on the floor.

The three bedrooms are average sized bedrooms but the beds themselves are comparably different from each other. One bedroom has one bed and it can just fit a object toddler with no room to spare. That same room also has a closet which has nothing and at the top of the room, there is one fan. On the floor, there is baby toys and five teddy bears, the strange thing is, the five teddy bears are there in such a way that if you connect the teddy bears to each other as if you were doing a connect-the-dots, there will be a pentagon.

Another bedroom has a bunk bed. The beds are large enough to fit Grandfather Clock's body so he and Tsubaki can sleep here comfortably. There is nothing unusual about this room... yet. The last bedroom has one bed that can fit in a teenager comfortably but due to Grandfather Clock's height being so tall, he can't sleep here comfortably. This bedroom has a small box about the size of a jukebox which can't be opened without a key.

Day 1 Weather: Very Heavy Rain, Thunder every 10 min 92/92 objects remain Time: 2:15 P.M

Meanwhile, back in the 'weird apartment room', Grandfather Clock and Tsubaki were seeing eye-to-eye in one of the beds. Due to the potential terror that may come, and their potential "end-life", they wanted themselves to calm down, so that they can figure out a plan of action.

All of a sudden however, Tsubaki remembered a memory that looked just like the same as they are right now. But, it was one of the worst kinds of memories that you could have. Her lips quivered from it, her teeth chattered, her eyes wide open, her arms shaking, her entire body frightened from it.

Before Grandfather Clock could speak to somehow calm her down, Tsubaki was clinging onto him, seeming like she was looking somewhere else.

"Cl--Clocky!!! Where are you?? I'm scared!!! The fire---the fire is going to---*cries*" This sudden rapid-fire of strange talk actually made perfect sense to the now, frightened clock. He also, was in the traumatizing event that traumatized Tsubaki. Unlike Tsubaki however, the symptoms of remembering a trauma-like event was lesser in comparison. Nonetheless, he still experienced the exact same symptoms that Tsubaki is experiencing.

With him trying to avoid remembering it as much as possible, he tried to calm Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki, that was in the---the past!! It was only in--in childhood!! The kil--kill--killeee---aggghhh!!!" Nonetheless, the traumatizing event was too much for him as he also succumbs to the "dark memory" of him, and Tsubaki.

They tightly cling to one another almost like two objects who never met in decades. Their voices of help could be heard clearly throughout the building. And coming in running footsteps, an object hurriedly opens the door that leads to them.

"Akai-chan?! What happened?!" The object, looking like a white clone of Tsubaki, was running towards her in a mad dash. She tightly hugged Tsubaki, like between a mother and her young daughter after years of not seeing each other.

Then all of a sudden, she looks at Grandfather Clock with a piercing glare.

"Did you---did you do something to her?"

Grandfather Clock tried to speak as carefully, and perfectly as possible to not make her be suspicious of him. "Well...it's...about *shivers*...something.....about....*shivers more*....all classmates....school...skull." Even though it was to no avail for Grandfather Clock, the white flower knew that they were caught in that "event".

Weather: Rainy 92/92 Objects Remain Time: 1:00 P.M "I know what you're thinking of. My sister and her childhood friend--which is you, were caught in a fire. I actually wasn't there that day. I was sick with the flu. Anyways.....the... whole school....." The white flower hesitated to speak any further but it seems as though both Grandfather Clock and Tsubaki had finally got out of the "dark memory" that's plaguing them like paranoia.

"I'm fine right now, Shiroi-sempai. It was already a long time ago so..." Grandfather Clock recognizes the flower as soon as he got out of the "dark memory". He only recognized her because she was in a picture with Tsubaki, but he knew that was her older sister.

White Tsubaki, Red Tsubaki, Green Tsubaki, and Blue Tsubaki, those were the four beautiful tsubaki flowers that Grandfather Clock knows. Red Tsubaki, the red flower, and his best childhood friend, however, was the only one that Grandfather Clock knew very well. The other three flowers he never met in person, but in Kindergarten, Red Tsubaki told him all about their names, and how to formally nickname them.

Flashback from 13 years ago "Clocky, do you know how to call our names based on basic Japanese rules? We call children who are older than us "sempai". Well, there's a lot more to it, but I don't know them yet. If you ever see my three siblings, at the end, call them "sempai". Hmm....what's next? You know the basic colors, right? White, green, blue--all of that?" The young, but very tall in class, Grandfather Clock nodded awkwardly. At the time, he was struggling with English, so he didn't exactly understand word-for-word with Red Tsubaki, who was excellent in it.

"Japanese colors kind of go like this. White is shiroi. Next comes green which is midori. Then blue is aoi. I believe there are multiple ways to say these words, but I don't know them yet." With her really good knowledge about Japanese, the clock never really got a hold of what she was saying until much later.

"Hmm? Are you sure you got all of that? You can say something if you don't know understand..." The red flower speaks to Grandfather Clock energetically as he tries to figure out what the heck she's saying.

He didn't understand any of that at first. However, he managed to catch on eventually and now understands that when he comes across the Tsubakis, the white tsubaki is supposed to be Shiroi-sempai, the green tsubaki Midori-sempai, and the blue tsubaki Aoi-sempai. Since they are all older than him and all go to the same school.

However, he didn't actually get to meet any of the Tsubakis because, of that "event". That "event" happened just before he was about to meet the rest of the Tsubakis. Around the 92nd day of his Kindergarten year.

He was on a slide. That slide had skulls with crossbones all over it.

"Clocky! >:( Are you that scared of that "death" slide? You really think it's gonna kill you if you come near it?" The "let-it-go-and-don't-you-dare-think-that-this-is-'don't-hug-me-I'm-scared'-thing" tsubaki was so mad at the scared clock, that she had eyes that was a light red-ish color. Like the leaves on her "head".

Then, she walked a step forward towards him. The frightened clock took a step back. Another step forward for her, another step backward for him. They did this in succession until they had reached the skulls with crossbones.

With her eyes big, her evil smile turned more upwards as the helpless clock looked at the bottom of the slide. He was thinking that if he had gone down at the bottom of the slide, the skulls and crossbones would come to haunt him after that point. With distraction from their friends, the other objects obliviously didn't call Red Tsubaki to the teachers for potential bullying.

All of a sudden, her eyes turned normal, and her evil smile had gone away. Too add more mystery to the confused clock, she was laughing so hard, she stopped breathing for a moment.

"OH MY GOODNESS! MY STOMACH!!*laughs* :'D  *calming down a little bit* Sheesh, Clocky! Are you that *snickers* paranoid about that dumb slide?" And as Red Tsubaki continues to laugh, she stared at him with a now innocent  smile on her face. Grandfather Clock stared back at her, with his eyes serious.

"So--sorry about that, Clocky! Don't think of me as a dumb, big, fat bully okay?" Red Tsubaki said as her innocent smile grows. Like a flower when it starts to bloom.

Then, all of a sudden, both of them felt heat. They turned their bodies around, and saw that the whole school area was on fire. Grandfather Clock knows that both he, and Red Tsubaki are in critical danger right now. Especially Red Tsubaki. She's a flower, so, if her leaves caught on fire, she'll certainly be killed in a matter of seconds.They looked to find an escape route. There's one, and the fastest way to do it is to go down the slide, jump over the fence, and run as fast as you can!!!

...........Even though Grandfather Clock has a strong fear of the slide, and with the fire coming strangely fast, both he and Red Tsubaki managed to escape death. However......all of the others died and because Grandfather Clock was so focused on escaping with Red Tsubaki, he only "saw" two objects out of the bunch that were actually in his vision.

Those two objects had eyes that were staring at them, smiling like Red Tsubaki's smile. But Red Tsubaki would never smile like that at a time like this. They were smiling as if they are insane, all the while the other objects pleaded for help. Some of them died easily due to their "bodies". The others were immune to the fire, but as the fire stopped, all of them suffered the disorder called "dumb insanity disorder", or DID for short.

As the name sounds, the "dumb insanity disorder" is basically a disorder where if an object has it, they become dumb and insane. This should not be confused with other mental disorders as it only has these symptoms, and the effect it has on the object, is normally radically different from another object who has the same disorder.

There are weaker versions of the disorder and they are "dumb disorder", and "insane disorder" or DD and ID for short. It's the same as DID, but the object who has it, only becomes dumb, or insane. DID can affect the object from a severe level, to a mild level.

For example, say an object has the ID version of DID. The object could either become insane instantly, with hallucinations such as the though of actually being in your mind. Or, the insanity could only come in effect if it's triggered by a certain event. That's why some objects in the object universe seem to be keeping sane, or/and having common sense, but they actually have ID, DD, or DID.

When the fire event had stopped, the disorder suddenly and strangely, affected 60% of the total object population instantly after the fire event had started. In fact, DID had never been around in the object universe before. The objects who remained totally sane and not dumb; Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki being among them, still don't know how the disorder affected them so fast.

Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki, being in the strange event, "quickly changed" their personalities. Grandfather Clock became serious, and for most of his years after the event, wanted to find out the perpetrator(s) behind it, and what caused the DID, and how it spread so fast. Red Tsubaki also followed along, however, due to DID, she couldn't speak comfortably to strangers, only ones that Grandfather Clock had talked to. And since the death rate tripled ten-folded after DID spread throughout their world, she wasn't much of an outdoor person. In fact, she would only go outside if Grandfather Clock was at her door.

And now, Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki could be dead, in this "insane object world", where all common sense can't be abided easily.

Back to Present "*laughs awkwardly* But I'm wondering if you two are okay. After all, it was definitely a big event in your lives."

White Tsubaki said after she realized that she could've traumatized them even more. But both the clock, and the red flower, got shaken out of their symptoms because of the white flower's "motherly-like" voice.

"Thanks, Shiroi-sempai!" "Thanks Shiroi-chan!"

They both replied to White Tsubaki in unison as if they planned it from the beginning. They faced each other once again in embarrassment.

"Uh...you didn't see our blushes, right?"

Grandfather Clock said after he realized Red Tsubaki's blush on her cheeks. Then all of a sudden, White Tsubaki looked mischievous, in fact so mischievous, she seemed like she was going to fling those two into another planet. White Tsubaki's motherly-like voice, suddenly changed to the mischievous too.

"Wow! Isn't this so romantic? The Grandpa and my dear sister, in L--O"

"Yabai!! Shiroi-chan, we aren't in lo--"

"*slaps Red Tsubaki on the left cheek* DO NOT SAY THAT WORD!!"

"Why Clo--"

"IF YOU SAY *pants* THAT WORD FULLY *pants*--AH! WE AREN'T IN WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, SHIROI-SEMPAI IS BAKA!!! WH--"

The seemingly endless chatter fills the entire room in noise. If there were more objects right next to them, they would cover their ears (if they were sane and not dumb) and either go in to try to help them, or simply just run in terror. Then, the eyes of Grandfather Clock suddenly caught something odd to him. "Wait a minute, that award there." Grandfather Clock saw a bronze star, with a description right down below it. It says "This golden star was earned for getting into the top 30 in a show that has now become world-wide famous! To Grassy"

But the most strangest thing to Grandfather Clock was the fact that around it, there seems to be an outline of something moving. Only slightly, as if he or she wanted to hide from someone/something, but nonetheless, moving. He moved closer, then....

"BOO!"

The mysterious object said as it changed color.

"I've been spying on you all this time--oh, what was your name again, mate? Grandfather Clock, right, old chap? Can I just call you, Clock, matey? I'm having a bit of trouble with your first name, sir Clock. Uh....can...you..perhaps...change...your...name?" The green grass-like object said as it did a flip in the air, then came back down.

"Hey! Who are you anyways?" White Tsubaki says as she moves to the unknown object. "Hmph! Rude I say!" The object says as he/she gave White Tsubaki the dark eye and stares at her. "Oh sorry, my sister can get carried away very easily in times like this." Red Tsubaki steps in as she gives a bow of apology.

"Well, I guess I'll forgive you, for now. Anyways, my name is Grassy, my gender is male, and one cool talent of mine is that I can blend anywhere!" Grassy said as he runs over to a painting that contains a tree and some people. Grandfather Clock and the two tsubakis opened their mouths widely when Grassy actually glued himself to the wall, and then, they could only see the outline of Grassy in that picture.

"Pretty cool huh!?" Grassy said as he stepped out of the painting in style. "Wow, that was amazing!" Red Tsubaki said as she jumps up and down excitedly. Grandfather Clock's eyes were wide as he tried to speak words to him. White Tsubaki on the other hand "WOW! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!!!!??" spilled words from her mouth like a tornado about to end its life as it dumps out everything to the ground. "Um.... you know we are in an unknown place." Grassy said as he blushes in embarrassment.

"Oops... sorry." White Tsubaki said as she puts her head down in embarrassment. "Anyways, Grassy, and White Tsubaki, what do you want to do now?" Grandfather Clock asks as he is still suspicious about this place. "Hmm. If we search this place further, we might find something *gulp*... unexpected." The red flower said as she looks she is now in trauma. "Okay, but I didn't call you, Red Tsubaki." Grandfather Clock said. And then, White Tsubaki and Grassy both said their answers at the same time. "Let's go outside. I don't think it's safe being here anymore."

"NO!" However, Red Tsubaki disagrees as she shakes her head violently. "What? Are you a little chicken?" Grassy laughs at Red Tsubaki as if he was with enemies with her.

"Tsubaki!" Grandfather Clock runs over to Red Tsubaki who is now conflicted on where she wants to go. "You need to decide, Tsubaki. Do you want to stay here, explore outside, or explore other rooms?" He spoke to Red Tsubaki calmly. "B...BB..But......there are....unknowns......lurking around every corner." She says as she is breaking down in tears. "Okay. I understand but, if we search somewhere else, we may find a way to get out of this place." Grandfather Clock said with a slight smile on his face. "Um....ok.....how about staying here for now?" She finally answers with her tears becoming less frequent as time passes.

"Is that fine with you two? Tsubaki is terrified that's why." Grandfather said to the other two with such a serious face, he may 'see' the slightest lie from them. But before they could answer, the sound of an arrow comes directly towards Red Tsubaki! Grandfather Clock runs as fast as he can, trying to push Red Tsubaki away. He succeeds.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Red Tsubaki lets out a high-pitched scream that would surely damage ears next to her. "DON'T WORRY TSUBAKI! YOU-" But before Grandfather Clock can finish his next sentence after such a near-death, Red Tsubaki points to his back. "YOUR BACK!! IT'S BLEEDING!!" Tsubaki shouts as Grandfather Clock finally realizes the blood on the floor.

"WHO THE HECK WOULD TRY TO DO THAT TO YOU!!??" White Tsubaki goes to her sister, crying like a baby having a big tantrum. "Don't worry! I..agh!" The arrow to Grandfather Clock pierced his back. Yet there was another arrow that actually missed both Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki, and hangs on the wall.

"Hahahaha!" An object laughs. "!!!!" All except Grandfather Clock jumped suddenly and looked around. "SHOW YOURSELF!" White Tsubaki shouts in the now bloody room. "HAHA, HAHA, HAHA, HAHA!!! DO YOU THINK I WOULD SHOW MYSELF!? HUH!?" The mysterious object's voice seems further away. "WAIT!" Grassy runs in the direction of the object's voice.

"NOT SO FAST! I'M GOING TO SHOOT ANOTHER ARROW IF YOU COME ONE STEP CLOSER!! HAHA,HAHA,HAHA!" The mysterious object threatens Grassy with a warning. Both Tsubakis struggle to carry the clock with their hands as they slowly move to a room where the mysterious object can't shoot.

"TCH!" Grassy stops running due to the warning. "Hmm!? If you are asking why I did shoot,....wait, you don't have a cellphone do you?" The mysterious object grants Grassy a clue on why he did shoot. Grassy runs back to the Tsubakis and ask them if they had a cellphone and explains the talk with the mysterious object.

"Um, I saw a cellphone in the kitchen. But let's help poor Clocky first!" Red Tsubaki cries and cries as Grandfather Clock now lies unconscious.

Weather: Cloudy Evening 1 92/92 objects remain Time: 5:30 P.M

Meanwhile

"Tch!" An unknown thing has now spoken in an unknown area, watching all 92 objects. "Gosh darn it! Should've put more cell-phones in there! Ugh, this isn't entertaining at all! Only one object shot another." The unknown thing puts his head down, repeatedly slapping himself.

"Hmm...although...this could be "entertaining" in a way. Very, very, "entertaining" indeed. Let's see what happens anyways. *evil laughter*" "Oh!" He then realizes something. "Even if there aren't enough cellphones, one big loud speaker is enough! And I have one!" The thing laughs evilly as he now pushes a button that allowed him to speak through the whole 'island'.

"Hello, everyone." The sound can be heard by everyone on the 'island'. "!" Both Tsubakis widen their eyes in surprise. Grassy gapes his mouth open. And Grandfather Clock weakly opens his eyes. "Huh? Is.....t." He only says a few words and then goes back to an unconscious state.

"Looks like Clocky is recovering!" Red Tsubaki now has a smile on her face, but the thing's voice starts once again through the 'speaker'. "AHEM! If you can pay attention to what I am saying!" All objects except Grandfather Clock listen to what he has to say.

"You are all trapped on a big island. You will be my subjects for a 'game' I thought up with." The thing laughs again with a slight smile to his face. "What....game....do...you...want..us...to...partake....in?" Dance weakly speaks to no one as there are no visuals to see the thing's face.

"Let me explain the rules first....Dance." The thing starts to speak out the rules when "Hold on one second! How do you know my--" Dance tried to ask why he knows her name when the thing cuts her off. "Oops! Sorry everyone but a girl is trying to know how I know her name. Dance, that doesn't concern what you are about to partake in, so keep the questions out would you?"

"!!!" Red Tsubaki has come to realize her worst fears of this place as she cries constantly in fear. Her eyes wide open, as if stabbed by a knife. "You all....will...fight..to..the..death." The thing laughs again.

"NNNNNNOOOOO!!!!!!" Red Tsubaki cries even more and, even having a thought of what they would do, still surprises her.

"I'll explain the rules of the game. If you break any of these rules, it'll mean death.

Rule 1: No one is allowed to leave this island until there are only 10 or less objects left.

Rule 2: You must attack at least one object with a weapon before midnight each day. For the first day, you should not kill anyone directly.

Rule 3: There will be one place that you all have to go to each day. You need to reach this place before midnight.

Rule 4: On the first week, do not touch any guns. They are overpowered, and would not make things long if they are used so fast. So, for the time being, NO GUNS CAN BE TOUCHABLE. Penalty for breaking this rule is death.

Rule 5: There will be one extra rule added every week at exactly 12:00 P.M. And every week, there may or may not be a rule removed. Which means that if a rule is removed, the penalty would disappear and you will not die if you do it.

Rule 6: There are something called "Insects" which live on this island. They appear to be ladybugs, but more intelligent, and a bit smaller. There are a total of 92,929 of them. If you happen to kill more than 20 of them directly, you will be killed.

Now I'll explain what events will occur Event 1: Every night, there will be monsters lurking.

Event 2: Every day, something supernatural will occur.

Event 3: Every week, good weapons will spawn somewhere on the island. This will give you a huge advantage towards other people.

Event 4: 1 or 2 more events will be added every week.

Now then, you should all be getting a virtual 3D map in about five minutes. It will be right in front of your faces. That map will tell you what location you need to go in a big red "92". Double tap it to zoom in because the places I'm going to send are all that specific. Tap it 4 times in succession to close it. I wish you all the best of luck, as you try to survive..."

The dark voice has now disappeared. Normally, when something as sinister and dark like this happens, most objects would be in fear, wondering if they should follow the "thing's" rules, or, think that this is just a big set-up. However, due to DID, a few objects put on an evil smile, their eyes like a demon.

"I'll be waiting for you.....*quiet chuckle*" As one object says after hearing that. "He" wants to kill the most. And the people he prioritizes to kill are the red flower, and the antique clock. If "he" succeeds in killing them, it would be the end of the story.

Meanwhile "Come on! Come on! Don't--don't look back!"" Grandfather Clock is watching a video on ObjectTube, one of the biggest websites on OS. And what he's watching right now, is a video that just came out a few minutes ago. It's the "lost footage" between two seasons of a competition between objects. Right down in the description, it says "The mystery of what happened is finally revealed! We had recovered all footage that can be recovered! It leaves no stone unturned!"

It already has over 100,000 views. Comments are going crazy as always, but Grandfather Clock doesn't look at them yet. He wants to see the whole video for himself first before looking at it.

A few minutes in, a plot twist happened. What should've been a recovered friendship between two objects has now been broken once again. The one who was betrayed by the other was running fast. Desperate to save her life from permanent death.

"????!!!!" All of a sudden, the one who was betrayed stretched out her hand through the screen, and wanted to reach Grandfather Clock's hand on the other hand. Grandfather Clock screamed, and moved away from the screen. His mouth gaped at what's happening before his eyes. There wasn't a 3D button on the screen, so this was literally an object that shouldn't have her hand "outside" of the video.

"REACH OUT MY HAND! NOW! THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME LEFT! HURRY!!" The betrayed object screamed at the clock as if the betrayer is fast approaching her. Grandfather Clock was still in shock though, and still doubted "her hand" reaching out to him. The betrayed object had tears in her eyes, dripping onto Grandfather's Clock chair that he was sitting on.

"PLEASE!!! REACH OUT MY HAND!!" She tried again, and this time, Grandfather Clock snapped out of it, and tried to reach for her hand. "NO!!!!!!! THE EY--" But it was too late. And she disappeared.

"Clocky, you're finally awake. Are you all right, though? It looked like your hand was reaching towards me while I was trying to pull the arrow out." Red Tsubaki looks down on Grandfather Clock with a worried expression on her face.

"I'm all right. I was just dreaming is all." "Hmm? What kind of dream, Clocky?" Red Tsubaki said worryingly. Ever since that tragic fire incident happened, she always had been paranoid about her, and her friend's dreams. She thinks that some dreams are premonitions of the dark future ahead of them, telling them what's to come. And this could be one of them. Grandfather Clock's expression tells it all for her that this is not simply a "normal dream".

"I don't remember much from it but.....it seemed as though I was on a website called ObjectTube. I think I was watching....a video between two seasons of a competition perhaps? Uh....then a female object reached out my hand...........I didn't touch it, because that hand was through the screen....And as for the object, I'm not even sure what the shape of her is." All of this only strengthens Red Tsubaki's worries as she listens to him, putting a serious expression. "Can you explain what the video content was like in more detail?" "All I can remember was multiple people running from someone. And that one girl that pulled her hand out of the screen was in front of everyone." "How many people were there?" "I'm not even sure about that. It was definitely more than two though." "Any other details about the girl?" "Uh......her dominant color could be green, but I'm not sure." "Okay then. Remember the dream for now. I'm still suspicious about that." Red Tsubaki goes left to a table, grabs a cup of water, then gives it to Grandfather Clock. "Here, have some water. You were out for a little bit, you must be thirsty." "*gulp* Thanks, Tsubaki-chan. Hey wait, where's Shiroi-sempai and Grassy?" Grandfather Clock was looking all around for her, however, she wasn't seen anywhere around. "Shiroi-chan and Grassy-sempai is looking around for other objects. She is gathering to a dining hall, two lefts from here---wait, sorry Clocky! I've forgotten to tell this but" "Don't tell me that some random object decided to put some rules for us and that we have to kill in order for us to survive and that we may have to kill our friends." "Th---that's exactly what happened when you were out, Clocky. This guy with a murder-like voice gave us some random rules and he said if we don't follow them, we'll be killed! And we are suppose to go the dining hall in about an hour!" "........Are you serious? You're just going to follow some random insane stranger's rules? We may be killed if we follow them!!!" "I know Clocky. However, I think he's not lying. I just have this feeling that we should follow..." The room goes silent. Grandfather Clock ponders on whether or not to go into the dining hall. (There could be a chance of us dying either way. If I don't follow them, then somehow, it would kill me. Maybe he planted something in me that would go off if I break the rules? I don't feel anything strange inside me though. On the other hand, if we go to the dining hall, some people there could be spies and might manage to kill all of us, if they're clever.) "I made up my mind. I think it's safer to go, Tsubaki-chan." Red Tsubaki nodded slightly, her arms clearly trembling. But she wasn't trembling from if they'll be killed in the dining hall, it's the fact that they may have to kill other people......including themselves. She kept that from Grandfather Clock so that he wouldn't get more anxiety.

"Wh--what the heck are you doing!?" Suddenly, Red Tsubaki lifts her friend up, as if to show affection for him. It's almost like a mother rocking her child back and forth. Grandfather Clock's face turns bright red, his eyes  widen, his mouth gaping, his entire body is frozen from what he's experiencing right now. "Clocky, this surgery bed thingy can't move very well for some reason. And you can't walk so I have to move you to a wheelchair, okay?" Red Tsubaki said as she moves him from the surgery room, to a room that was full of wheelchairs. The walls there were covered by them. "Don't worry Clocky. I checked this room already. It's fine." She then puts Grandfather Clock on the floor, grabs a chair nearby, then with the chair, grabs one of the wheelchairs near the roof of the room. Why did she that was so that the wheelchairs wouldn't fall everywhere. Then, she grabs Grandfather Clock again, and puts him on the wheelchair.

50 min remain

All of a sudden, the watches on their wrists turn bright red, a warning-like sound comes from them. Since they still got 50 minutes to get to the dining hall and they are close, this doesn't bother either of them. However, Red Tsubaki was bothered by something, looking at Grandfather Clock for some reason.

"Clocky. Why are a few of your numbers....glowing red?" Grandfather Clock shows a 'shouldn't it be obvious?' expression for a second, but then he realized that this trait to him wasn't shown to Red Tsubaki until now. Every object has a unique trait, even if some of them don't have it yet, they will eventually. And this is one of the cases right here.

"Tsubaki-chan, that's a trait I picked up when I was about 13 years old, during puberty. Uh.....how should I explain this?......That is basically an object tracking device. Whenever 12 or more objects are within a 1000 ft circle of me, one or multiple numbers heats up. For example, if there are 12 objects near where I am at, the '12' will light up. If there are 13 objects, then the '12' and the '1' will light up. 14, the '12' and the '2'. 15, the '12' and the '3'. And so on. Right now, there seems to be 55 objects including you. I can feel the '12', '11', '10', '9', '8', and the '5' getting hot." Grandfather Clock said as he and Red Tsubaki stop right next to the two wide, tall doors that leads to the dining hall.

"That's a very cool 'unique trait' Clocky! But.....I kind of have a cool one too--err, never mind." Red Tsubaki started to look all around her for that something, but then, she stopped.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You can tell me what your trait is. Or is it because your trait is shallow or--"

"My trait has to do with a special mirror called 'Tsubaki Mirror'. It's extremely rare to find it outside of my town area though. I think the possibility of finding it outside of it is 1 out of 9,292. *sighs* But it will only allow a tsubaki with the same color as it to go through. Non-tsubaki objects and Tsubakis with the wrong color can't pass through. So in other words, you can't pass through it. :'("

"That's fine Tsubaki-chan. The thing more important here is to open these doors so that we have a chance of surviving." Grandfather Clock's heart was pounding in fear. (What if there were spies in there? And they would kill us? I'm having second thoughts about this.....)

"Hey Clocky?"

"Hmm?"

"Just remember this. Don't think anything about me and you trying to get through this. Think about trying to save all of the objects in there. Alright?"

Chapter The dining hall is like any other stereotypical dining hall that you see in some movies, books, and such. The tables were long, but not wide. What's not similar to the stereotypical movie-book dining hall is that the dinnerware is not forks and spoons, but weapons. And they range from long-ranged weapons such as bows, to combat weapons such as swords.

The atmosphere in the room that is felt by each object varies between each object. Even though Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki feels tense, some objects actually feel just the opposite. They feel glad that they have been brought here.

And that's why Red Tsubaki grabbed several guns, one for her childhood friend, the other for herself. The rest was handed over to White Tsubaki for safe-keeping. Just in case a murderer found out the weapon room that Red Tsubaki found earlier, the object would find it empty. And besides, White Tsubaki is a fighter at heart. She knows how to defend herself alone, even with a team of more than 5 against her, she would knock them all out eventually.

Speaking of the white Japanese flower, she is still nowhere to be seen.......until now.

"*opens door violently* FINALLY!! *pants* I'M HERE!!!" White Tsubaki said as she pants with a group of objects right behind her.

"SHIROI-CHAN!!! *hugs her sister* I WAS SO SCARED THAT YOU WEREN'T GOING TO MAKE IT!!! By the way, did you bring all that didn't come into this room? Oh! Wait just a moment, Shiroi-chan. *runs to Grandfather Clock* Clocky, how many people are here right now?"

"Huh? That was....out of the blue...wait just a sec...uh....65.....we need 27 more though."

"*runs back* Err, we need 27 more though, Shiroi-chan."

"I looked inside, and around the building! It would take many more hours to look outside though! And besides, there's only 40 minutes left! I don't think I can find all of them in this big of an island!"

"You have to try Shiroi-chan! You need to tr---"

"Hey red flower." All of a sudden, an object puts a sword right next to Red Tsubaki. The object looked like a square root, with white eyes. The room goes completely silent, only that object's voice heard throughout it.

"Don't say 'save the rest!', little girl. Please don't. Otherwise---"

"Hey, meanie! Don't say that to her!" All of a sudden, the object was interrupted by another object. This object's voice however, was hard-to-hear, and the mean object pretended to not hear it.

"Hey!!! Down here, meanie! Even though I'm Small, and well, 'small' myself, I'm not afraid of you!" The tiny Small continued to spout out these kind of words to the mean object. And then, the mean object had enough of it and turned towards where the voice was coming from. Meanwhile, during when the mean object was turned back on Red Tsubaki, White Tsubaki quickly pushed her out of the way, going to one of the edges of the dining hall. Grandfather Clock follows behind from his wheelchair.

"Stop it! Both of you!!" Yet another object speaks. This time, it's a shape that has nine sides. The color of the object was pink. The eyes normal. The voice like a mother lecturing her child.

"*sigh* Seriously, I had enough of 'death' and 'fights'. I have seen too many of those and I just...want this to stop!" But her reasoning was a little bit too lacking as Small and the other object continued to argue. Her voice becomes silent after.

"Wh--what the heck is that, Clocky!? Right behind those windows!?" Meanwhile, Red Tsubaki quickly pointed her finger to one of the windows. Grandfather Clock and White Tsubaki follow her.

"Looks like an....infestation and a half right there!" What they were seeing was many look-a-like ladybugs crawling up towards the building's roof. What's really strange is that they were repeatedly saying, "I wonder what "he" will make us do next?" over and over again. The three of them and White Tsubaki's group hastily opened the door that led to the dining hall, and got out of there quickly.

"We got out of there in time! And yet that clock didn't make a chime even though he's an antique time thingy." One object that White Tsubaki found said as he stopped running to try to catch his breath. He looks like a book, with the front cover saying 'All Rhymes'.

"Let me guess who you are. Hmm......" Yet another object from the group speaks. This time, it looks like a regular pawn chess piece you see from well--chess. "You're.....Rhyme Book, correct?"

"Why how splendid of you! That is gracefully true! You have been given two points for that!! Whoo!" Rhyme Book said as he makes a 360 degree spin in the air.

Meanwhile, Grandfather Clock face palmed himself in disbelief. "Are these two really that dumb? They really need to realize that WE COULD ALL DIE FROM THIS PLACE!!"

"Ah! That's very rude of you, Clocky! If they're infected with DD or DID, then you really can't help it. And besides, the disorder causes it. They aren't just plain stupid if that's the case. In fact, they may have been very smart before they got the disorder." Red Tsubaki then slaps Grandfather Clock right in the cheek. Then she walked slowly in fear towards the door that led to the dining hall.

"Yeah! You need to think about that first, old man!!" Like twins, the white beautiful flower gives Grandfather Clock a deserving slap in the cheek and then walks slowly in fear towards the door with her sister right next to her. Then, Red Tsubaki, without looking back, said something that would bring Grandfather Clock to remember one of his earliest memories. "Clocky, you really need to socialize better. After that fire incident and the DID breakout, you started to isolate yourself from the rest of the object world again."

13 years ago-

"Ready for your first day at school my little clocky dear?" Grandfather Clock's grandmother said with a motherly smile as she rocked back and forth on her favorite rocking chair. Rocking chairs are very rare and she has one of the few that's still in good condition. Hardly anyone uses it anymore because it's so outdated. And yet, Great Grandmother Clock still uses it for some reason.

Grandfather Clock's 'first' home, is--as you would guess it, a 'clock home'. Thousands of inanimate clocks spread throughout his house. The Clock family were all collectors of clocks and the young clock absolutely loved collecting, and seeing them. He would watch the hours tick bbbyyyyy!!! .......Okay, I think that was a bad reference to a now very popular movie. *sigh*

"......Grandma, I don't think I'm really ready for school." Grandfather Clock looks down at the floor. His face depressed as he is now the age to go.

"Clocky little dear, you don't need to worry about other objects. You'll be absolutely fine. In fact, me and grandpa had that same fear as you when we were that age. But it turned out fine for both of us, and it will turn out fine for you too." But yet, this doesn't help our clock one bit. He is trembling, shaking, crying out in fear.

"Th...then...can you and...grandpa come with me?"

"Of course Clocky dear. You know very well that kids like you always need a guardian right next at them all times. I remember at my first day of school, I was trembling like it was the end of the world. I needed to sit in school with my parents for at least the first 20 days! *laughs* But it came out just fine."

And so, his grandparents held hands with him, as he walked to school with a bunch of other objects right next to him. He felt a bit more comfortable at first, however, as soon as he got closer, he saw other objects, presumably his classmates. With a strong objectophobia, he trembled in fear once again. And he hid behind the sign that says the school name.

"Now, now dear. There's no need to be afraid." Grandfather Clock's grandmother tried to calm his nerves down. The Clock family have always had a strong fear of other objects, so most of them tried to remain socially isolated from the world as possible. However, Grandfather Clock's grandparents were an exception. By the time they reached 3rd grade, they started to become more social with others, and started making friends.

"Hey, what's wrong?" The young Red Tsubaki notices Grandfather Clock trembling behind the school sign with his grandparents. No other object notices the three.

"Well, my grandson is really shy you see. He always trembles when he sees other objects in person. Are you one of his kindergarten classmates? What's your name, dear?" Great-grandmother Clock looks at Red Tsubaki with a smile that ensures that they'll be fine on their own.

"I'm Red Tsubaki. But you can call me Tsubaki-chan. I like to be called by that name."

"So Tsubaki-chan. This guy here is Grandfather Clock. But don't blame us for naming him that way. The name came from his parents, but they both died a few months after he was born. So we take care of him." Great-grandfather Clock said

"Hmm....does he have any friends at all?"

"If you're talking about 'friend-friends'.....sadly no."

"Can I be his first friend then? I can help him out through school! Even though he is like this, he seems to be a pretty cool guy!" And that's the start of the Grandfather Clock and Red Tsubaki friendship. Even though it started pretty awkward first, overtime, they've startedstarted to become pretty good friends.

Grandfather Clock gradually started to speak more with other objects, and made a few more friends along the way. Even when the fire incident came along, he still managed to not let him down when he transferred to a new school.

However, he is now facing his biggest challenge yet. Can Grandfather Clock, Red Tsubaki, her sister, and all of the rest survive the game of '92'?

Chapter 3- The Stars That Lose Their Light

"Okay everyone! Listen up!!" White Tsubaki directs her group to herself loudly. As some of the group turned to face her, some stared at Grandfather Clock. Disgusted that he said those comments to them.

But Grandfather Clock's eyes were all over the place. He was looking to see if there was any dangers that may lead them to death, whether it would be a trap, or a person trying to kill them.

"!?" All of a sudden, he felt a chill up on his spine. Amongst all of the chatter, was one voice that felt 'strange'. Something like, "Son, son, where....killing them...." Grandfather Clock zeroed in on where the sound was coming from, and sure enough, the object who had spoken those words softly was not nearby the group, but about 50 ft away from them.

The object in question was in a shape of a diamond, the color green, and had a monocle on his right eye. It's safe to assume that his name is Monocle Leafy. In his right hand, there was a teacup, and he seemed to be lost in thought about something. He couldn't see what was in his left hand though as it was behind his back. W h a t i s b e h i n d t ha t l e f t h a n d?

"*screaming*" All of a sudden, an object from Grandfather Clock's group shouted abruptly. "That leaf object has a gun in his left hand!!!" The leaf-like object heard it and turned towards the direction of the group. Then his eyes widen, he was at a lost of words to say. But that didn't last long, because now, his expression now turned into anger as he revealed his gun to them.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The whole group had mixed feelings about this, but there was one emotion that popped up instantly in everyone's minds: fear. With nowhere to run but the dining room, some objects opened the doors to it, and hurriedly ran in, even though there was chaos in that room as well.

* gunshot* All of a sudden, there was the sound of a gunshot being heard around. The atmosphere became eerily silent. However, it didn't came from that strange leafy.

"*chuckle* That's what you get for messing with us." Someone quietly whispered to themselves. It was loud enough for Grandfather Clock since he was the closest and it was quiet. Sure enough, the object was holding a gun in the right hand, with smoke coming out of it. It was Rhyme Book. The object who Grandfather Clock assumed who had DD.

Monocle Leafy falls down. But not without words to say to someone: "Aaaa.ggghh!! So...son, can....you....remember......me? Mggghhh!!!" His blood was stepping out onto the wooden floor. A bullet was in his stomach, and the impact was too painful for him to stand. He was pointing to someone, could it be his son he was pointing to? However, there are so many objects now crowded where Grandfather Clock and Rhyme Book were, it is hard to pinpoint where he was pointing towards too.

By now it is too late. His last word was: "survive."

A star blackened. Darkened. Yes, dark, cold, and it can never be bright in the night-time sky. It will not be noticeable however. There are a lot more stars to look at in the night-time sky. And they are brighter and bigger! It wouldn't make any difference if one star dies. It would go unnoticed for all eternity. Out of the many, many stars to look at, even if the sky is slightly darker, it isn't noticeable to human eyes.

By now, the dining room had become a mess. The plates of food tumbled over as objects aggressively argued against one another about stuff like: "There's a way to get out early!!!" "No there is no way! The criminal could be watching from security cameras right now! There's no way to get out without someone dying!" They were all focusing on one single topic: Is there a way to get us out of here?

1 min left-

"Hurry guys! Get back inside! There's only 1 min left!" White Tsubaki said as she hurried the group along. However, Grandfather Clock remained still. "Come on Clocky! Hurry!" Red Tsubaki forcefully grabbed his hand along as they were running with 45 sec left on the clock.

"Phew!! That was close!" It doesn't matter whoever said it. They were all relieved to make it before it reached the time. The aggressive conversation the other objects were having seemed to have died down a lot as they have all panted in exhaustion. It causes the dining hall to be also eerily silent. But no one dares to sleep. With this kind of thing coming about, if you sleep, you could die from whatever throws at you.

.........................................

A young boy was looking up in the night-time sky. He always loved to count the stars and thought that the stars can never run out of their brightness and lived on forever. With the clear, moonless sky around him, he always known that the sky hold 92 stars in all. At least, that's what he thought anyways. In reality, there are hundreds of billions of stars out there, but in his view of the sky, the naked eye here only sees 92 stars.

"Hey dad! Let's count the stars together!" He said. The dad nodded and counted the stars with him. "1! 2! 3!" They were having a gay time counting them........................"Daddy!!!!!!!" All of a sudden, the son tugged his father's shoulders tightly and screamed. The dad thought that something bad happened so he looked at his surroundings. There wasn't anything dangerous to his son but.... "I counted only 63 stars! I looked all over for the others! There are supposed to be 92! 92! 92 stars!!!!" He fiercely cried, screamed, and punched the ground beneath him. To him, a star is a good living being. It can't be pollution that's blocking the stars, there's absolutely no buildings for ten miles! It also can't be the switching of the skies either. He counts them night after night and still he counts 92!

And so, the sky had gotten a lot more darker. And he sobbed....sobbed....sobb..so

Meanwhile

"Come on Clocky! Snap out of it!" Red Tsubaki grew increasingly worried about the clock. He seems to be spacing out, however, he didn't respond to any sudden movements in front of him, nor did he feel anything like a hand. It was unusual for him to be suddenly like this, especially right now.

Then, an object from White Tsubaki's group comes up. "I think I may have the answer to your problems." It was another grandfather clock-like object. Except this time, she's a female and has a beautiful pink ribbon up top.

"One of the Object Traits us Clocks have is the incredible talent at fast math. We see the whole world, but we also calculate all kinds of possibilities that happens to us, or to somebody else, to inanimate objects, basically anything. It is infinite. It's like a computer. Not only this though, but we try to remember all of the numbers that our 'computers' given us. We can't voluntarily not remember though, we are automatically wired to remember these to help us in our survival. This is how Clocks have become the math champions recently. Basically, what I am seeing right now is a view of the world, but also an infinite number of numbers streaming by every second. And even right now, I'm trying to remember all of these numbers and possibilities. It doesn't go away even if you sleep and dream. It will still be there for all of eternity. It's a heavy strain on our brains for sure. But this is how normal life goes."

Wait until the creator has some more time to write the next part. :D
