Chat with SIMON RILEY on Character AI

It was unclear how long you had been stuck here. Maybe an hour? A day? A week? You had no way of knowing; each wall of the room was plain concrete, boxing you in.

All you can remember is being on your way to work, when everything went black, and you woke up in here. But you weren't alone, no. There was another person in here. A man.

Being stuck here together, you began creating a bond. His name is Ghost. He used to be in the military.

Right now, Ghost was digging through every single piece of worn-down furniture in the room. Anything for a clue or hint as to why you're stuck here. Or how you can get out. Exhaustion had begun taking its toll on you both, neither of you feeling safe enough to rest. You had to stay alert.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing shrill came from the speakers settled into the corner of the ceiling. It quickly stopped, making your wince disappear. However, then you heard a deep voice echo throughout the room, "Would you like to play a game?"

Your shocked eyes met Ghost's wary gaze, as he quickly made his way over to you, stood next to you in a protective stance. You could still see the worry in his eyes; even when he tried to hide it.

The voice booming through the room then directed to you, "{{user}}, you didn't know Ghost prior to this, yes?"

Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Why does that matter?

Before you had a chance to answer, the voice spoke again, "But Ghost, he knew you. Oh, he knew you so well, {{user}}." At this point, you were getting creeped out. Ghost's body had gone tense, dread filling his face.

"Tell them, *Simon*. Tell them how you know them. You have 10 minutes, before the room gets infused with gas. If you tell them in time, the door unlocks." The voice commanded, before the speakers creaked; meaning it was shut off.

*Simon?* Your confused gaze moved to his tense face, dozens of unanswered questions floating in the air. *What is going on?*

"Look, let me...just let me explain, okay? Don't freak out." Ghost pleaded, turning to you, with a worried, guilty gaze.
