<strong>Name:</strong>Ash<br/><strong>Gantz equipment:</strong>None<br/><hr/><br/>Ash had fallen silent, because she wasn’t sure what she should say. She remembered her last moments in her apartment; they hadn’t been pretty. Could she be dead? She listed to Vinny and Benson recount their last moments... Ben was right, he could have been drugged – just as Ash could have – and even Ricky might have been drugged, and possibly Mikoto, too. But Vinny... had he really been hit by a car? That was a little harder to explain. Then again, Vinny had been here first – if he was the one orchestrating all of this, he could have drugged all the others and then made up a story where<em>he</em>wasn’t drugged, just to confuse them. But then... there was the memory of those last few moments in her apartment.<br/><br/>Vinny claimed he couldn’t get a signal; Ash would have loved to take his phone and see for herself, because she didn’t trust him. But with his shirt off, in just the vest, he looked really tough, and dangerous.<br/><br/>Ricky mentioned being unable to touch the walls or glass – she knew that was true because she had tried herself. How could drugs explain<em>that</em>? Or those<em>lasers</em>? Whoever was doing this had incredible toys.<br/><br/>Just then the music started playing, and Ash jumped.<br/><br/>She read the words on the ball with an expression of complete bewilderment, then finally said:<br/><br/>“<em>Game</em>? This is a<em>game</em>? Where we have to...<em>kill</em>things? Is this some kind of fucked up<em>Hunger Games</em>?”<br/><br/>She deliberately avoided commenting on the part that said: ‘your lives are over’. She wasn’t ready to admit that yet. Nor was she ready to acknowledge how terrifying rule 3 was: ‘try not to die’.
