Assassins

During the exam period, Cairncross (my dorm), is playing a game called Assassins. Basically everyone is assigned a person they have to assassinate, and once they assassinate that person, they have to assassinate the person that that person was supposed to assassinate. The rules are you either have to throw a sock at them or play the song Never Gonna Give You Up. To kill them w/a sock u hav to be alone w/the person. With the song, u either have to be alone w/the person or the assassin can't be seen while playing it, but they have to be in the same room with the music. Or they can call the person on the phone and play the song.

I am, of course, the idiot American who was the first person killed. I was walking up the stairs by myself and a guy was following me, and I was wondering why he was going to the 4th floor, which is an all girls floor and when I opened the door he said excuse me, I turned around and he threw a sock at me. That night, Becks and I went down to a bday party for this guy Iain on the first floor and everyone was talking about the fact that someone had already been killed...I said yeah, that was me. Then they were all patting me on the back and saying, oh i'm so sorry.

There are some ppl who are taking this very seriously. Becks is so paranoid, its ridiculous. She has 3 kills. Becca just came home yesterday and got killed by Iain. So we've teamed up w/Becks to make sure she doesn't get killed. The prize is £300. Becks needs it, she doesn't have much money. She hurt her back over holildays and could barely pay for the doctor. Last night, Iain and Chris (they're good friends, and Chris is in charge, so he knows all) came upstairs to Becks and Becca's room. Iain was convinced he knew Becks killer is a girl named Kyle (she told him), who coincidentally is Becks target, Niko, roommate. So Iain wanted to help Becks plot to kill Niko and warned Becks Kyle was gonna get her tomorrow and Becks had to stay alive cuz if Kyle got her, Kyle would be in the lead. So we all go downstairs cuz Niko was in the common room. Becks had Iain's phone with the song on it and hid in the bathroom.
Becca, Chris and I hid in the next bathroom down the hall, so Becks would never be alone. Iain went and told Niko he needed to ask her something in private. She's not stupid and brought her friend, Emily (one of the americans from my group) with her. Becks played the music and Niko was killed. In the mean time, Chris is laughing hysterically in the bathroom w/me and Becca and he says wanna know something funny? Kyle lied to Iain, Becks isn't her target!
Niko, apparently, was hard core taking this game seriously. Becks is super nice and she said she was sorry. Niko just said, I may not be an assassin in the game anymore, but I can still kill. Niko walked past us and gave us all the finger. I think Becks was about to cry, but then we all burst out laughing!
Becks paranoia is getting worse. The entire time yesterday she was afraid of getting rickrolled (song played) so she wore head phones so she wouldnt be able to hear it. She never leaves her room w/out someone escorting her. I've had to walk with her to the kitchen and even to the grocery store. I seem to have lost all sense of time b/c I hav no schedule to stick to. I went for a 2 hour walk in the dark w/becca, we came back talked to Paula and Becks til Iain and Chris came up, then we helped Becks assassinate Niko came back up and ran into Emma, so we all had tea and by the time we went to bed it was 1am. Paula had already gone to sleep, and I had just crawled into bed when paula's phone (we all have our own landlines) rings. I thought for sure it was her assassin (her assassin will never get her, she's never here. but paula won't tell us who her target is, she's all into it), but i dont think paula woke up. Next thing I know, Becks comes in and wants me to switch beds w/her, just in case her assassin tries to kill her, so i did and nothing happened. She is really losing her mind.
Well, I am off to Bingo w/Emma, Becca and Rebecca tonight! Should be fun, its on the other side of the Clyde and Emma says the old ladies really get into it.
