"Nine and three are pretty cool numbers, though I have to say number four would be my favorite. Or seven. Most likely four." And then she watched as the professor took a a hole deck of threes. Wow, Caroline knew how to play her cards right. Or in this case knew how to get full sets of just one numbers.
Kammy became rather excited. "Yes, I love paying cards! I've got three sets of Magic the gathering cards, and some pokemon cards, even a yu-gi-oh deck somewhere! Oh, though I can't find them all, I lost them during the mad rush of the apocalypse, but they might be somewhere...Oh you mean normal cards? Yeah I play them." Though she obviously liked the other games more.
"Yeah, I'd love to see your strategy!" It might be something she could apply to her other favorite games.
James was already using his deck of cards to build a house, and even if it wasn't the best use of cards, it looked like lots of fun. "Hey James, sure, Glad to help!" She gingerly took some of the cards, and went about adding them to the bottom of James to make sure it had a good base. She soon paused, staring intently at the slowly building house. She had to think carefully about this otherwise she was gonna knock it down by accident.
"Hmmm..." She hummed out loud, then put a few cards on top of james and watched it wobble a little before it sat still. Okay good she hadn't knocked it over. Yet.

Hitsu didn't reply to Rook's question of her state, and she probably would have broken down for at least the sixth time today if she tried. As it turned out, though, she didn't have to. She followed Rook's line of vision when he looked at someone beyond them, eyes widening when she saw Cecil approaching.
His collar was gone.
Relief washed over her and she could have cried out in actual, honest-to-God joy. Her hands flew to her mouth to muffle just that, the sound breaking off into laughter as Cecil pulled Rook off of his perch and hugged him tightly. It was clear who she had to thank for Cecil's freedom.
Rook's feet touched the floor and in the short amount of time it took Cecil to actually speak his thanks Hitsu was the picture of delight if one didn't consider how red her eyes were.
The alcohol was likely very much the assistant to her boldness, and Rook would find himself embraced a second time. Hitsu practically leaped at him and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him full on the mouth.
The university was calling here again. They called her back from her poor attempts to save herself.
Jane sort of just lurked around.
It looked like there were other people crying and upset. she just.... couldn't save them. She couldn't even save herself yet... and she wasn't even worth as much as others.
"I'm here." she mumbled blending into the back ground.

Rook might have beamed a little when it was clear that he had answered Caroline's question correctly. It was like he could feel that nonexistent A she just graded him.
The happy look was switched with one of mild surprise as he was lowered to the ground and he was not going to lie, he was very pleased that Cecil decided to put him back on the ground. Not that he didn't appreciate the hug, of course, he was just not accustomed to Cecil sized bear hugs. Though At his apology Rook merely shrugged it off and patted the man heartily on the back. "Look, you don't owe me anything, alright? You can even say I sort of did it for selfish reasons. You are one of my friends, after all." One of his best friends to be precise. Not that he wouldn't have helped some other random person if he were able, but it was doubtful he would have been as willing. The way he saw it, the people of the university faction were his family, and you don't leave your family in a place like this. "Seriously man." He gave him another couple pats, though lighter than the last ones.
Rook noted the arrival of James and flashed Kammy a grin. "You bet we did!" Though he had to wonder how many others of their faction were still earning their freedom. Which he ended up asking aloud. "Any idea on who else is still colla--"
His question was cut short when someone cried out. But before he could react, he found himself being kissed--on the mouth by Hitsu. The suddenness of the attack? Had him frozen on the spot. He might have stopped breathing.

Justin was around in his collar as he shuffled his balance. he was starting to get antsy about the time constraint, he could have sworn that the collar got heavier. There were more people who managed to find their freedom in his group which had him feeling better. It still left a tiny pang as he felt even further away from victory than before. "I am present, and watching this half orgy of yours Rook." he raised an eyebrow at the love fest but said nothing more.

Hearing a shout and seeing the familiar blue jersey, Matilda raced over to where Rook had jumped upon a table. She had managed to get her own collar removed, but she was still attempting to earn coins in a fevered pace in hopes of freeing someone else. "I'm present. Are we figuring out who still-"
the blonde woman was stopped in her tracks as another member of the group kissed Rook. "I hate to break up the reunion, but is there a purpose to our gathering?" Even if she was already free, she still wanted to have enough time to gather coins for others.

Seeing another gathering of blue jerseys, Rinko wonders closer, tightening her scarf again. A roll call? She doesn't recognize the man that had called out. "Rinko, present." She blinks, watching the 2 kiss. It looks like she is interrupting something. Backtracking, Rinko makes her exit.

Scott's attention is torn away from the blackjack tables when it is made clear that his faction was gathering together. Running a hand through his dark locks and giving off a soft sigh as he pulls himself out of his chair, the student makes his way over to the crowd of his peers. "I'm here.." He murmurs, though he doubts many people pay him too much attention. He'd been a loner from the beginning, and even now he had the tendency to feel as though he were nothing more than a ghost. The blinking LED sign around his neck is a constant reminder to him of his friendless state. He didn't have enough coins to get it off, and there would be no one to buy it for him either. He was starting to just accept his fate. Getting shot here was better than being torn apart by the undead, at least.

Hearing the call to assemble, Kelly moved away from the tables and toward the large group of university faction members. It was so easy to find them with the jerseys, and she quickly shifted between two and looked around. She looked from side to side, before catching sight of another with a collar on. His was much lower than hers, but he seemed a bit forelorne.
"Hi..." She said softly, approaching Scott and nodding, her own collar bright against her neck.
She turned to call out, "Here!" over the crowd, before looking back toward him, "How close are you to getting that off?" She asked softly to the quiet boy.

Character's name: Kelly Vanderbeck Character's faction: University Character's journal link:HERE Character's survival stats: HERE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER Kelly has dirty, dark blonde hair that is in long curls. She prefers leggings and sweaters, but has noticeable tears and dirt on her outfits.
Ruia was actually very relieved to hear the call for the university students. Finally, a chance to see familiar faces, which would be a small comfort but a comfort all the same. If she was going to die, at least she would get to spend her last hours with people she recognized. It also gave her a moment to figure out what she was going to do to try and save herself. Gambling had the chance to make her situation all that much worse, but by the same token, she could make it that much better, too. There were "safer" options, but they also had lower payouts if she recalled correctly...
"I'm still here." Her voice wasn't terribly loud, just loud enough to be heard, as she joined the rest of her faction. The 26 on her jersey was more than a little bit worse for the wear, but still readable. She'd caught sight of the number on her collar, reflected in the chrome around her, as she'd walked over. 130 coins... Well, that was a lot. She would need to get to playing games after meeting up with the group, as good as it was to see them all again. Maybe they had recommendations for the best games to play to try and win her freedom. It looked like some of them had made progress on their totals already, after all. Maybe she was overestimating how hard the gambling tables would be. After all, she had been almost entirely a bookworm in college. No drinking, no parties.
She felt another pang of wistfulness at realising that meant no friends, either. Though she supposed the optimistic look on her lack of friends meant no one would miss her if she didn't make it out of this. Hell, maybe she could win enough coins to buy someone else, even if she couldn't buy herself? Ruia didn't exactly have a super valuable skill-set, either, technically speaking. An archaeology student wasn't exactly taught how to kludge things together out of spare parts to make something else that actually worked. She could possibly improvise a weapon, but she hadn't even been able to manage that.
So, honestly, maybe she would just end up buying someone else's freedom instead. That was the most strategically advantageous use of her coin. Plus, other people had lower totals on their collars than she did. Their totals might actually be feasible for her to reach, with a little bit of work and luck.
Well, more work than luck. Luck seemed to be in short supply for all of them in general. They were having to win their freedom from being eaten by cannibals, after all. That couldn't be very lucky. The people who were glad to see each other seemed very close, though, and that was certainly lucky. Ruia couldn't help a small smile. Luck, she supposed in that case, was subjective. Sitting herself close to people who weren't already grouped up, she turned her mind back to what games she should play.

Scott is awoken from his own dull thoughts when a girl approaches him. Again, he looks down at his sign, then allows his dark eyes to take in the blinking numbers on her's. "I'm about halfway there." He says, sighing. "Blackjack is, apparently, not my forte."

Kelly tried to not let her awkwardness show on her fact, but the boy seemed absolutely depressed. She wasn't sure, but she had a feeling that was how she too appeared to others whenever she thought about her fate at the end of the night. Resisting the urge to take his hand, she tried to show a smile at his dark joke.
"I've heard that poker has some good odds, and I did pretty well on slots. As long as you pull a pair, you will make two coins."
Rubbing her hands together a bit to try to figure out what to say next, she looked around and saw more collars on people. Maybe she wasn't as slow as she thought, if others were still struggling to reach those higher numbers.
"I'm Kelly, by the way..."

Dahlia heard people calling out. She really didn't feel like doing crap today. After yesterday, and the whole Zone Two opening, it was much more complicated than it needed to be. She eventually got there, yawning and rubbing her eyes with her sleeves. "I'm here, I guess."
Rorrow walked away from the attendant rubbing his neck. As he did so he rolled his shoulders to work out any kinks or soreness they had from wearing that blasted thing. He blinked at the rather loud shout...walking over in his pink parka and #11 Jersey he tilted his head. Oh wait...he knew that guy from the interviews...he caught a name...Rook...that's right...Roo-----WHOA!!! His eyebrows shot up as Hitsu kissed the other male full on the mouth. Chuckling he shook his head walking closer to lean on a nearby table. He let his gaze drift about, happy to see so many of their own without those blasted collars. He glanced back once to see his twin, collar free walk by in the background.
He let his eyes drop then pushed off the table to get lost in the little crowd that was his new extended family. He bumped into someone taller than him and turned to apologize...
"Oh Sorr---Cecil! Ah..." his eyes fell on the collar. "Oh thank god...you got it off too? Something tells me it was a second party..." he smiled as he put his hands in his pockets. Hopfully Cecil wouldn't remember the whole "Never Have I Ever" game or the little kiss on the cheek he gave him.
Rorrow mentally sent up a prayer, Corven never meets Cecil....
