Part 5

Lewis awoke to a shaking. Looking up he saw Simon.
"Mate?" Simon asked. The raven haired mam sat up, pushing himself against the wall. He had been laying, curled up in the corner of his room on the floor.
"How did I get in the corner...?" He mumbled, looking around.
"No clue. Come on, let's get you up..." Simon answered, helping his friend up and taking him to the kitchen. He poured him a drink of water and handed it to him. Lewis leant his back against the counter, his hands on it, staring at the floor. "You feeling any better?" Simon folded his arms.
"Mm..." Lewis answered, rubbing his eyes.
"You're overworked mate."
"I'm always overworked."
Simon stood for a moment in silence. "...lewis?" He asked. The raven haired man looked to him. "On... Minecraft the other day. You put in the chat... Some weird stuff?"
Lewis walked towards the door. "I have to get back to work..." He stated.
"Lewis! Tell me what's going on!" Simon snapped. Duncan and Paul stopped outside in the corridor hearing the shout.
Lewis stopped at this point, staring at the floor. The two men outside looked to each other before looking to the two who stood in the kitchen.
"You're depressed, angry! Even more than usual. You're getting yourself drunk as fuck every night and you could barely walk yesterday!" Simon shouted. Lewis continued walking, barging past the other two. Simon followed. "You lock yourself in your room, type random shit into chat on minecraft! And your entire right side is bruised!" He continued. "Tell us what's going on! We can help!"
The raven haired man turned to them. They all were staring at him at this point. Unrelenting.
"Yeah, Lewis... Something's wrong, we can help if you need it... And... You do need it." Duncan added.
"Leave me alone." Lewis almost growled. He turned to his door and walked in, locking it behind him. He paced across the room for a moment before raising his fist and punching his wall. He slumped against his shelves and slid down. "I wish someone would help me..." He whispered to himself, tears rolling down his cheeks.

------------
Lewis sighed and leant back in his chair, putting his hands over her face and breathing deeply for a moment. "How am I supposed to play that file now...?" He sighed and clicked around, looking at the files he had already unlocked and renamed. "Wait a minute..."
He clicked on the second dialogue he had unlocked, played it and then waited to see if the message popped up. It didn't. "Damn it..." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. His stomach grumbled and he sighed once again.
Going back onto minecraft he opened back up the server.

-Xephos joined the game-

Xephos - dark.

Lividcoffee - lewis?

{Dark (whispers) - yes Lewy~?}

Xephos - I would appreciate if you left me alone for a little while duncan.

Lividcoffee - but I'm doing some behind the scenes work...

Xephos - Duncan... Please.

Lividcoffee - ...fine, I'll be back on in about ten minutes though so...

Xephos - that's fine. Thank you.

-lividcoffee left the game-

Xephos - now that he's gone...

Dark - what's wrong precious?

Xephos - don't call me that... Is minecraft the only way to open the files? I've tried different games. It doesn't work.

Dark - yes, there are different ways to open different types of files. So far you have one written one, two dialogues. Well done~

Xephos - and you'll promise to leave once I've unlocked and listened to all files?

Dark - by that point my job will already be done... You'll be weak. On your knees begging for all of this to never have happened.

Xephos - and just why. Why do you have this thing against me. What did I do to you?

Dark - you'll find out soon enough~ have fun Lewis~

"Dick..." Lewis mumbled to himself, before typing into chat to listen to the file before Duncan came back online.

Xephos - /playpreviousfile

Com's - play file with subtitles? y/n

Xephos - /override,subtitleson

Com's - subtitles set to on, play file? y/n

Xephos - y

"So... Been a week, and I'm still here. I've been working on my floor, part of our job is cleaning so, mopping floors... Dusting corners. The boring stuff. I also had to go around each cell and write down the name and serial number, so that I knew which prisoner was in each cell, and draw it onto a map."

"Map..." Lewis mumbled to himself, perhaps there was a map somewhere in the files? That would give names, some explanation...

"So I finally found out the guys name. All he does is sit there, calmly looking forward while the rest of the prisoners are arguing and yelling. But he just sits there. Calmly. I saw him with a couple of chess pieces the other day, no idea how he got those... *chuckles* I have his serial number now, b1u3. Makes sense, his eyes are a bright blue. Dazzling really. The doctor told me that at one point he had worn contacts to hide the glow. But upon being brought to this place, they had to remove all material he was wearing. Just like with the other prisoners... I feel bad calling him that, he doesn't seem like the others. So I guess I don't really see him as a prisoner, because he doesn't seem dangerous."

Lewis furrowed his brows, but shook his head and continued listening.

"Tomorrow I will be back down in that level, the past few days we've been on the outside grounds. Now we get to go back to our levels... Which means I will be able to attempt... Contact. Either way, I will record my progress tomorrow."

Com's - end of entry, play next tape? y/n

Xephos - n

Com's - open attached file? y/n

Xephos - y

"Attached file...?" Lewis mumbled, biting his lip. "The map?"

The file opened, it was a picture file. Well, most of a picture. One cell, at the end of the corridor was ripped off. The one that faced the other cells. The serial code written on the front just before the ripped off bit was 'B1u3'. He raised an eyebrow. "Blue...?" Shaking his head he looked at the others.
'Cody - F7923'
'Magnum - G5h05t'
'Sly - f0xh'
'Cap - 5p4rk'
He sighed and rubbed his eyes, turning in his chair so that he was facing the other way. When he looked up he wasn't in his office. He was in a corridor. No sound, but he could see the people shouting. He looked around, he seemed to move slowly. The corridor seemed to stretch, long and far. And on the far side, another. A glass container at the end, just like the others, but this one was on the end bit. And the person inside wasn't shouting, or yelling, or banging on the glass.
Lewis stood, looking at the man. Though he couldn't make it out properly, he couldn't see his face. He was sat in a chair, his arms resting on his legs and his head hung forward, not showing his face, black/brunette hair covering it.
Lewis looked around, he still seemed to move slowly, but the prisoners were still moving quickly. Still no sound. He looked back to the man at the end, and found himself unable to move towards him.
After a moment of this going on, suddenly the man raised his head slightly. A blue shine almost blinding him. Lewis turned, feeling scared. He looked around frantically, he was back in his room. He turned back to where the man had been, to see his wall. No cells, no prisoners, nothing.
He slowly sat back down, bringing his hands to his head and resting against the desk. He allowed himself to breathe, taking in a jolted breathe. Scared.

-lividcoffee joined the game-

Honeydew - hey bud. What's up?

Lividcoffee - sorry am I disturbing a recording session?

Sjin - we were just doing some behind the scenes to help the people upstairs with some of the stuff.

Lividcoffee - doesn't lewis usually do that?

Honeydew - nobody wanted to ask him at the moment...

There was a moment where no one typed.

Honeydew - anyway what's up Dunc?

Lividcoffee - ...its lewis.

Sips_ - again? What's his problem?

Lividcoffee - he... I was sat in the common room and he walked in, looked like he'd been crying. Pretty bad...

Sjin - did he talk to you?

Lividcoffee - no... He just walked in and grabbed some stuff before walking out... Turps was walking through the corridor outside and tried to speak to him...

Honeydew - what did he do?

Sjin - he didn't snap at him did he?

Lividcoffee - no... He just... Put his hand up to stop him from talking and walked away to his room, and he locked the door behind him...

Sips_ - seriously what's up with him?

Honeydew - we don't know... He's skipping some recording sessions, he's rescheduling others... He's staying overnight most nights...

Sips_ - you guys think he's depressed?

Lividcoffee - ...seems like it...

Sjin - well what do we do? He won't let us help him...

Honeydew - we handle it better than I did earlier.

Lividcoffee - we've tried being nice, we've tried being snappy... He just doesn't want our help guys.

Sips_ - if he's going through a rough time its our job as mates to be thre for hm.

Honeydew - agreed. I'll try and talk to him tonight, if that doesn't work then we don't want to barrage him with it. We'll leave it a couple of days again and then try again.
Sjin - good plan

Lividcoffee - sounds good. We recording soon?

Honeydew - yep more whale lords!

-Xephos joined the game-

Sips_ - hey lewis

Xephos - hi

Honeydew - ready to record?

Xephos - Yh

Lividcoffee - let's get onto mumble then!

Everyone turned on mumble and greeted each other.
"You doing OK Lewis?" Simon asked, careful with how he said it. He heard a sniffle.
"Y-yeah. Come on let's record." The raven haired man responded. He sounded like he had been crying... Duncan must have been right. "Hello! And welcome back, to whale lords!" He greeted, and they got to recording.
