Background
All of you were yesterday afternoon at the second part of the application examination for the actor-training course of the Theatre Academy, an exclusive drama education institution in Helsinki. More or less by chance you ended up partying afterwards with this random group of people. The party was full of booze. Now no one remembers anything about last night, and everyone is feeling ill. You are both regretful and angry. You can't even see the guy (Pink) whose parents own this place anywhere. He's probably gone off to work.
The sense of community you all shared yesterday is now gone. Everyone else here may get accepted while you won't. Plus there's that damn nausea. Let your bad mood properly out - everything anyone says to you here today is probably meant as an insult. Pay them back the same way, and do not shy away from openly mentioning their particular flaws.
You're still feeling so dizzy that getting on a bus is right out of the question. So you'll be here at least an hour and a half more. Upstairs, where you all slept, is a dump right now. You do not want to go there again. Plus the blood-covered sheets in one of the two double beds look really disturbing. Oh, it would also be nice to know what the hell actually happened.
This game simulates an awful hung-over morning.
