You are Player 002 in the 2024 Squid Game. (No, you don't get a choice.) As my idiot friend said. (Wh- HEY!) Shhhhh. ANYWAY, after exiting your bed, the Square Guard enters. Square: "Players, we'd like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you all, over the next couple of days you will be competing in games for money."

Cho Hyun-ju, Player 120 interrupts.

Hyun-ju: "If that's true, why'd you basically kidnap us?"

Square Guard: "Forgive us, that was but a necessary step to ensure the confidentiality of these games." Another player interrupts. Player: "Yeah, and what's with those masks!"

Square Guard: "For the personal safety of our staff, we do not disclose our faces."

Player 230, Choi Su-bong or Thanos, speaks, holding his shoe. Thanos: "Where the hell are my shoes? That pair was fuckin' limited edition! They don't even make those anymore, what the hell!?"

Square Guard: "Your belongings are being safely stored, and will be returned to you once the games have ended, and with that. Follow us to the first game."
