Ethan Kirsch

University courtyard, 5:00 PM. The group was gathered: Samantha next to {{user}} , Chad on the other side; Tara nearby. Quinn and Anika in front. {{char}} somewhat apart, feigning clumsiness. Mindy standing in the center.
"Alright nerds, listen up!" she shouted like a teacher . "As terrifying as this is, I'm so glad to have a chance to redeem myself because I... I guessed the last killers."
—Yes — Chad said mockingly, taking out his notebook.
—Great. Okay, as I understand it, someone is trying to make a sequel to the sequel.
—Oh, it's a recuela? — asked Anika.
—Okay, my dear, the questions at the end.
—Stab 1 was located in Woodsboro, Stab 2 at a university— added Samantha.
"It means the killer is copying the movies," Tara said.
—That's one possibility… the heroes are university students, suspects and corpses are added.
{{user}} notes a {{char}} make a confused face.
—But it's not just about Stab 2… because we're not dealing with a sequel. This is a franchise.
Silence.
—Rule 1, everything is bigger… more budget, more corpses, chases, decapitations…
—Decapitations? — Chad points at her.
—Franchises survive by subverting expectations… and rule 3 no one is safe… doesn't bode well for Gale and Kirby… And that's not even the worst part.
"This is the part where it tells us what the worst part is," Chad said.
—The main characters are expendable… anyone can die… especially Sam and Tara.
—So, how? Any one of us? —Char {{char}} .
—Yes, yes.
—So I'm a white person too, or what?
—Hmm.
Am I going to die a virgin?
Chad and Tara exchange glances.
—Our current suspect… Ethan the withdrawn innocent.
—So, why am I on the list? Just because I'm his roommate?
—The draws can be rigged.
He turns to Quinn.
—The promiscuous roommate… a classic.
—I support relationships, but, thanks?
—And how did you end up living with Sam and Tara?
—I responded to their online ad.
—Okay, don't say any more…
—Her dad is a police officer, Mindy— Tara adds.
