Rvan eventually found a pen that had been kicked under a cabinet, “Hey, I finally found a pen, and I got some napkins to write on in case we don’t find anything better,” He called out. The small victory meant a lot in the given circumstances. Especially because they’d be forced to vote for someone to die.

Finn turned to him. “Good we can start writing notes.”

Sage hummed before adding they should check that the pen isn't near or already out of ink. "Not trying to be pessimistic. Just a thought."

(Did I just call Erik rvan? Ha lol, sorry about that)
“Good idea,” Erik said as he walked closer to the others, clicking the pen and gently scribbling on his wrist since he thought that would take better than the wrinkled napkins. It took a few tries, but bits of ink managed to appear on his skin. “It works well enough until we find something better.”

Maggie smiled back. “Thank you, that means a lot,” she replied. “I’m really glad that I met you.” She blushed a little bit.

"So am I," he replied, "although, admittedly, I'd prefer better circumstances. I would love to take you out sometime, but we're kinda trapped."

“You mean, like, on a date?” Maggie asked. “I’d like that too. If we get out of here, I’ll have to take you up on that offer.”

Erik took a few long moments to write his letter on the napkin, stopping every once and a while to scribble the pen on his wrist so the ink would flow or to glance at the tattoo on his elbow. Once he was finished, he tucked the napkin into his pocket and set the pen down. “If anyone wants to use the pen… I’m gonna go, you know, get the voting thing done and over with for myself.” Erik looked towards the booth (?) where they were supposed to vote, taking a deep breath. He wished he had his sister with him, so he could know she was safe. So he could know if he didn’t make it out of this, she’d be okay.

Finn nodded and took the pen. Writing a note on both sides of a napkin along with an address to send it to.

Erik cautiously went into the voting booth, his heart pumping a little bit faster than normal. Once nothing immediately jumped out and attacked him, he calmed down just a little and put in his vote. He then walked out, biting his lower lip. He hoped no one would die. Especially not him.

Once Finn was done he stood up and walked to a booth. He was only in their a second before walking out. His arms wrapped around himself and walking over to a sofa.

Erik sat down on a chair across from Finn, offering a tiny nervous smile. He glanced at the booth before looking back to Finn and asking quietly, “Do you think we’ll all make it out of this?” Erik thought he already knew the answer. He just didn’t want to face it yet.

Sebastian scowled slightly at Daso, but he turned away so he wouldn’t see. This was not a good time to be flirting, and he had a bad feeling the guy was making Maggie’s emotions go even more wild.
God, I may be one hell of a flirt, but at least I have the respect to not do it while in a weird hostage situation when everyone is high on emotion.
“Well… I think we have to go do that voting thing. Are you guys ready?”

Finn sighed. "I really hope we all do but realistically speaking whoever kept us here isn't going to let us get away with voting for ourselves again. If we don't figure out how to get out then…I don't know," He said shrugging at the end.

Maggie turned to face him, blushing. “Yeah,” she replied. She took a deep breath. “So we’re all going to vote for ourselves,” she added, just making sure that she didn’t imagine that. She had a habit of double-checking important things like that.

“That was the agreement. And I’m sticking by it,” Sebastian promised, leading the way towards the booth.

Maggie nodded, a wobbly smile making its way onto her face. “Okay, let’s do this,” she said quietly, and followed him. She was extremely nervous, but tried not to show it.
