Chapter Text
Alice was just babysitting her little brother when she ended up in a strange room. Her little brother, annoyingly, is here too.
"Alice? Alice, where are we?" He asks in that loud voice.
"I don't know Jimmy, but we'll find a way-"
"Alice, where's iPad?" Alice sighs.
"I don't know Jimmy, it's probably at home." Jimmy's face crumples, and he starts to scream.
"I want iPad!"
Luckily, someone else pops into the room. Quite a few people, actually. One of them is a girl who looks to be a similar age to her, maybe a bit older. She looks quite disgruntled, before becoming shocked. The others are dressed like they're from the 1800s. Three of them are men, and two of the men are standing quite close to each other. Holding hands. Hm, Alice thinks. A tall woman stands next to the other man, who is quite short. They have a bit of distance between each other.
"Where are we?" shouts Alice decides to speak up.
"I don't know, but we were all brought here randomly, right?" Hesitantly, most people nod. A couple of the men realise that there are no doors, and try to force their way out. This goes on for about ten minutes, to no avail.
The other teenage girl decides to speak up.
"I don't think that's going to work." The woman, who has an American accent says,
"Yeah, you should stop." They reluctantly stop.
A voice crackles to life out of nowhere, startling Alice.
“Hello there, everyone! You all must be very confused, right?” John speaks up, with a British accent.
“Who are you? Where’s your voice coming from? Show yourself!”
One of the other men also says the same, in a cultured British accent.
“Yes, you had better show yourself right this instant.” The voice chuckles.
“No can do, I can answer another question. I’ve brought you here to react to each other’s lives.”
This revelation makes Alice’s head reel. React to each other’s lives? How could that even be possible? The others have that same question.
“What the hell does that mean?” says John.
“You’ll see. For now, just introduce yourselves.” Alice decides to comply with the voice, since it kidnapped her, and she doesn’t have her satanic book on her right now.
“Um, I’m Alice David, and this is my little brother Jimmy.” Jimmy speaks up.
“Hello!” Everyone looks very endeared, annoyingly for Alice. The other teenage girl speaks up.
“I’m Astrid. Nice to meet you, I guess.”
The man called John introduces himself as John Jacob Mcallister, and the woman next to him says she’s called Angelina. The two other men say their names as well, Percy and Franklin.
“Wonderful!” says the voice. “Now, who would like to go first?”
