They all meet up at the local dam, Luna and Sara arrived in a taxi service and Efra's brother dropped her off after a lot of begging and negotiating. There's a small group of approximately 20 students standing around in circles talking to each other and texting. The girls spot each other and run to greet.

Another car stops and someone in a bright pink motorcycle helmet climbs on with a box, he doesn't greet or talk, he puts it on the ground, gets in the car and drives off. Some mumble amongst each other then everyone walks towards the box, one of the girls open it and sees lots of small folded papers.

A few of the surrounding students each pick up a paper, unfolds it and reads it.

Efra looks at the paper, "Behind the library toilets"

She looks down and in fine print, there's a camera icon and a phone number."

She sighs then looks at Sara, "What did you get?"

Sara frowns, "Under the keyboard of the last PC in the internet cafe. How am I suppose to get there? We're literally three blocks away.. I hate exercise."

Efra switches hers with Sara then greets them and starts jogging. Some of the students complain about the locations, others have already gone. Sara and Luna go on their own as well.

Efra takes a right and right next to the snack store the internet cafe flickers their open sign.

She opens the door and greets the worker, "hi, my buddy left something here of mine. I'll be quick." She nods and Efra rushes to the last PC. She looks at the paper on the screen. 'Out of order's

She lifts the keyboard and finds a screwdriver underneath. She picks it up and heads for the door.

She greets the girl and leaves for the dam.

On her way back, she takes out her phone, snaps a picture of the screwdriver and sends it to the number. When she arrived most of the others had also returned. Everyone had something different, the one had pliers, a girl had a hammer, another guy had measuring tape, the theme seemed to be Handy Many or Bob the Builder.

Luna runs up to Efra, "hey, whatcha got?" Efra points it Luna, Luna reveals a paintroller from behind her back.

The same car arrives again and the helmet guy steps out, takes off the helmet and smiles.

"Hi guys, my name is Shaun. I'm the host for this round. Almost all of you found your items. One of you however found the special item."

Efra smiles at Luna, "Sara."

He continues, "The special item is the welcoming gift. I hope you enjoy it. Oh and by the way, every item you collected is connected to something so you can all feel special too."

He smiles then turns around, gets in the car again and drives off.

They talk then spot Luna running towards them looking very uncomfortable and grossed out. Some of the other players gather to find out what the special item was, Luna then tells everyone that the special item was the body of a junkie. She couldn't take a picture of it, it was too nasty.

Some players looked at her with suspicion, others with worry, some with fear, Sara takes the paper from Luna and whispers under her breath, "This is a new low."
