[Chihiro nods, keeping quiet for a moment so Rin can focus. Even if they're not fast, it's really the jumpscares that he doesn't like...and in games like this, there seems to be very little warning before things suddenly start happening.]

[Checking, checking, che- oh no you don't! Ha! Thought you could sneak up on Rin, eh?] This is so easy! You sure you don't wanna give it a go?

[Rin glances over to Chihiro. As much as he had to keep an eye on the game, he wanted to make sure Chihiro wasn't too freaked out. He bumps against Chihiro's side with his elbow.]

We're almost done with the first night! You can relax in... Two hours.

[Two...hours...hahaha...]

O-oh no...that's okay. It's more fun watching, anyway. I like to watch Nanami-san play games when we're together, so...

[Not that he isn't totally convinced he'd be amazing at this game if he tried, or anything...]

If you say - whoa!!

[SHIT SHIT SHIT THAT WAS WAY TOO CLOSE. WAY WAY WAY TOO CLOSE.]

D'ya see that?! D'ya?! [RIN SHUT UP AND LOOK AT HOW MUCH POWER YOU HAVE LEFT. YOU ARE STILL AT 4AM.]

[He'll say he saw it, considering the little cry of surprise he ended up letting out just before stifling it with his hands covering his mouth.]

D-do you have enough power left?

Power? I have a battery in this game?!

[He's down to 15%. The clock is forever at 4am. All of the animatronics are walking about. The first bowl of snacks is almost gone.]

[...Rin did you heck up already.]

Yes! You've been using power by checking the cameras, see?

[What? No! Pay no attention to the eerie background music that has suddenly decided to make an appearance.]

Oh! That's what that thing was for? ... oh!, so that means we only have 10% for the rest of the night?

[MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T KEEP THE CLOSING THE DARN DOORS...]

[...yeah hopefully Rin won't mind Chihiro scooting a bit closer to his side because this is starting to get 2spooky 2fast.]

And we still have two more hours...

[H-He doesn't mind at all. Chihiro was going to prove to be a distraction, if only because Rin is caught between feeling somewhat embarrassed and wanting to miraculously finish the first night without incident.]

It can't stay 4 o'clock forever! See? If I just... [... he was going to keep the door open BUT RIGHT BEHIND IT WAS SOME MOOK IN A SUIT. So he slammed that door closed asap. B-But the power takes a major hit!]

Should I just keep it open and flash it?

[Chihiro's nearly watching through his fingers now, barely able to squeak out a response.]

U-um...k-keep it closed for a second...maybe it'll go away...

[He does exactly as Chihiro says and the battery drops to 7% while they keep the door closed for "a second". When he opens it again --

-- Rin actually flinches and closes that door so fast it ain't even funny.]

Fu-- he's still there!

Still?! W-we don't have enough power to keep the door shut until 6, do we?

... It's at 4%.

[yay, it's finally 5am!]

[That's not good.]

...is...is the door clear? Maybe you can open it now.

[Even though they're probably already sunk, maybe they can preserve their last bit of power for...a few more minutes, anyway.]

[He's not even gonna question it. The door opens up - the meter reads 3% - and there is no one there.

But there is a distinct sound in the vent system. Rin holds his breath...]

[Chihiro immediately puts his hands up over his eyes again, unable to continue looking at the screen.]

[The sound stops. Rin exhales slowly. He has to be care of the dark shadows. Those things could be hidden somewhere in there. He flicks on the lights in the halls, checks the cameras once more, and spares a glance towards Chihiro.

He closes the door with 1% left in the power gauge...]

[oh god oh god]

W...what time is it, Okumura-san...?

[DOES HE REALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT IT?????????????]

F-Five. It's still 5 -

[BUH-BYE POWER, HELLO DARKNESS.]

D-...did the power go out...?

[It's obvious that it did but he can't help but ask to confirm in the smallest voice possible.]

[THERE ARE EYES FLASHING IN THE DARK HALL. FUCK THIS MUSIC, MAN. Sorry Chihiro, Rin's not going to answer that because things are starting to get a little freaky. -- Not that he's scared.]

There's something there...

[Chihiro's trying really hard to not hide behind his hands the whole time but it's getting progressively harder to keep looking.]

Is it...a Pokemon?

I - ...do we want it to be a pokemon?

[Who's that Pokemon?]
