ACOF/Alexander/Alone/Hentai
You sit at your computer and navigate to a streaming site to watch Girl Game ZX, a Hentai anime you've been hearing about online. Apparently it's based on some kind of Choose Your Own Adventure type of visual novel, but you haven't played that yet.
You lock your door, plug your headphones in and put them on your head, then press play.
The first episode starts out in a classroom. Of course it does, every anime stars out in a classroom. The red haired protagonist, Fujioka Ryushi, sits across the room from his identical twin sister Ruriko.
As class ends the room mostly empties out, leaving the twins, their teacher Takita Oharu, whose hair is a vibrant shade of blue, and three other students. Urayama Kaede with pink hair, Tsunoda Nishi with white hair, and a foreign exchange student, a black girl with black hair named Capria Bates.
Capria, Kaede, and Ruriko are gathered around Ruriko's desk having a conversation. Nishi walks up to the front of the room to quietly ask the teacher a question, and as she does, another girl enters the room. Younger, with the same bubblegum pink hair as Kaede, is Urayama Kana. She runs to her older sister at Ruriko's desk.
The doors to the classroom snap shut a the room begins to fill with a sort of gas. The cast tries to open the doors and windows, coughing, and one by one they fall over. When Ryushi falls, the screen fades to black.
But that's not all. As the screen fades to black, you feel a tingle like static electricity on your ears. You reach up to pull your headphones off, but the tingling sensation spreads quickly. Soon your whole body tingles and you feel yourself being pulled forward, out of your seat, toward the screen of your laptop.
Everything is black for barely a second. Nearly instantly you awaken, lying down on a small bed in a large room that smells of disinfectant, like a hospital. You sit up. As you look around, you see 6 other beds, with figures slowly beginning to rouse in them.
As you see their faces, you recognize them. They're the girls from the anime you were just watching. But... what? The last thing you remember was the strange tingling feeling from your headphones. Did you fall asleep? Were you shocked unconscious? In a coma?
There's no way this could be real, right?
A few strands of your hair fall in front of your eyes and you realize that it's the same red color as the hair of the protagonist.
Well, dream or not, you should probably figure out what's happening. The girls have all started speaking to each other quietly, the only one who approaches you is Ruriko. "Ryushi, are you alright?" She asks.
"Uh, yeah, I think." You say. "Are you?"
"I'd be a lot better if I knew where the hell we were. Or why we're here." She says. "I'll go talk to the other girls, you should look around the room to see if we can find a way our, or any clue why we're here."
She seems to be weirdly on top of things. "Alright." You say.
You get up and search the room. The only visible door has no handle and seems to open electronically from somewhere else. Each of the beds has a privacy curtain, and there's one surrounding a bathroom area in the corner furthest from the beds. Opposite the bathroom area on the same wall is an area with a table and what looks like a vending machine with a hand scanner and no visible way of choosing from whatever products are inside.
Out of curiosity, you put your hand to the scanner.
The machine makes a slightly annoying, short buzzing sound and dispenses nothing. But shortly afterward, a loudspeaker somewhere in the room transmits a voice.
"Good morning, everyone!" The voice says. "You may be wondering why you're here." The voice pauses. "Well, we're going to play a little game together, and in the end, all of you will be leaving here."
"However, there are a few rules everyone needs to follow if they want to go free. First off, ths game only has two players. Myself, and one of you." Another pause as everyone looks around at each other. "Fujioka Ryushi will be that player, and the rest of you will act as game pieces."
All eyes fall on you.
"I know this doesn't exactly sound appealing, but here's a lovely incentive; if any of you refuse to cooperate, you will die. If you fail to follow directions, you will be killed. Simple as that. As long as everyone cooperates, your fate will rest entirely on Fujioka Ryushi's shoulders."
"The way the game is played? Well, that also is simple. I give Ryushi a task, and he chooses from you girls to help him complete it. Whoever is chosen will go with him through that door, the big one, you know the one, and they will complete their task in the room beyond it."
"So, to get your first task, Ryushi, put your hand on that scanner again."
The focus is entirely on you.
You look to the teacher, Ms. Takita, for guidance. "Ms. Takita, what do you think we should do?"
She looks about as confused as everyone else, but managers to collect herself enough to speak to you. "Ryushi, I will try to help you however I can but if what that person said is true, I'm honestly afraid to do anything that would put us in danger. They were able to kidnap us from a school building. It's probably best if we play along, at least for now."
You turn to the machine and, hesitantly, put your hand on the scanner.
Out of a slot in the front, a square of plastic as big as your hand feeds out. On top, a simplistic image like something you'd expect to see on a sign for safety or instruction. A hand grasping a rod. Turning it over, on the back is printed the word "Hand Job".
Well.
"Well, what is it, Ryushi?" The white haired Nishi speaks up.
"U-um... it... it might be less embarrassing if only the person I choose knows what this says." You say, to which they respond with confused looks. "Please, trust me."
