《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 23: Orange is Alive?
Advertisement
There is just no way.
Orange, the maid, is still alive? I know I saw her fall from the ship, though.
Am I getting short-term memory loss or hallucinations?
Looking at Yellow, White, and Captain Greene gives me relief as their expressions are as shocked as mine. So, I am still sane, at least.
Pink, however, keeps herself calm and collected. Red, on the other hand, has no particular reaction. Well, that's a given since Red is ignorant of what happened to Orange earlier.
Either way, Orange walks towards us and smiles. "Good evening, everyone," she says with a wave.
"What are you doing?"
To our surprise, it is Red who asks the orange-haired maid. The rest of us do not know what to make of this.
"What do you mean?" Suddenly, Orange's smile turns sardonic. I only realize that she is holding a vial in her hand when she drinks its contents in front of us.
Another surprise comes when she proceeds to close the distance with Red, and without missing a beat, kisses him.
Although, based on the strange green liquid on Red's lips and chin when he pulls back, it seems that Orange's true purpose is to make Red drink the contents of the vial.
"What the hell are you doing, Faine?!" Red shouts as he wipes his lips and tries to spit out the liquid.
Oh. So, Orange's name is Faine?
Anyway, since Red continues to spit out what he can, I am starting to think that he knows what the liquid is. Orange's next words prove it.
"It's futile. You know how little you need for the truth serum to work, Viscount," Orange declares.
Truth serum? What?
Red can only glare at Orange as she immediately questions the former.
"Tell them about our relationship."
"What?" That voice is from Yellow.

Gamble
My name is Vak Tychus. Aside from the, regrettably striking name, there were very few things I'd judge, that made me - me. The name had to do with chance or fate. My last name was Latin, derived from the Latinized name Eutychus which was the combination of two Greek words corresponding to "good" and "luck, chance, and fortune." Now that you know why I'm so unhealthily and exceedingly prone to gambling I can begin to teach you why exactly I love it so much. There's a handful of things you'd have to know to really appreciate how to gamble. You'd be surprised at how much you can learn in two decades supposing you stuck with it your entire life. Although, there are some stark differences between betting a handful of cash and your life against monstrous creatures intent on your blood. Well, you learn a thing or two, if you can believe it. Here, in fact, we can start with the first one: Taking a risk. Try it now and start reading.
