Chapter Text
(Noob's POV)
ROUND: Snowy Field
Surprisingly, I'm doing quite a good job at staying near the front of the group. There's a bit of a gap between me and the closest survivor. I see Meowster dash on my right, followed by Wu, going back to save any downed survivors. I reach the small tunnel at the end of the map and just steady myself so that I could breathe. Running for about 90 minutes can get you really tired...
I notice something at the end of the tunnel. A crack, small but still visible to the naked eye, hiding away at the corner. Curiosity gets the better of me, and I gently poke it open. It crumbled for a bit, before breaking open the wall. I raise my arms to shield myself from the impact. The dust gradually settles down, and I slowly open my eyes to see something strange.
Weird.
Mystical.
Intriguing.
As if... I wanted...

"Oh good... I think they're waking up..."
I hear a voice around me. It seems familiar... though... I have this awful throbbing feeling in my head...
"Noob- Noob can you hear me?"
My eyes slowly begin to open, the lights shining before dimming and revealing my surroundings. I'm in the makeshift hospital ward Angel and Dr Mick set up... what happened back there..?
"Oh good! You're awake!"
I look slightly to my left, too tired to raise my head to properly see. I could make out a third of Swift, standing beside my bed. I give her a weak smile. I'm here.
"Goodness Noob!! I thought you actually died there! What... even happened back there..?"
My mind goes blank. I don't remember last round... what even happened..?
"Hey- don't sweat it. Probably shouldnt have questioned someone so sick with such a... severe... question. I just hope you get better soon Noob. We're done with the rounds today, so we gotta rest up! I'll tell Dr Mick you've woken up now. Take care!"
Swift dashes off, and in the blink of an eye, she's gone. All that is there is me in my bed, a hanging lightbulb in the middle of the room and about 5 more beds. I rest my head down again, just staring blankly into the air. That... thing that I picked up... do I still have it?
I reach into my pocket. I don't believe it.
I still have it.
I pull it out and leave it to hover above my hands. A glowing, rainbow crown like thing, shifting colours smoothly from one to another. It also has this... strange... void like feeling... what was I thinking earlier when I took this...
Put it on...
I'm surely not hearing voices... right..?
I said put it on you mother fucke-
Yep no. That's enough hallucinations today. I'm going back to sleep.
I put the crown back in my pocket, and close my eyes. Before long... I'm... falling... asle-....
