15! This story provides examples of the following tropes:
16%%PCE - Please explain the admirer part * AbhorrentAdmirer: Kayla for Nick. He thinks she's very annoying.
17%%* ActionSurvivor: Everyone, more or less but especially Chasity and Michael.
18* AcquittedTooLate: Done intentionally by the white woman. The victims don't get to know whether their vote on the killer is right or not until the suspect is killed.
19* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Nick]] maintains the politeness even after being revealed as the killer.
20* AnimalMetaphor: The white woman is revealed to use mice to represent her victims. Every time one of them is killed, [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals she stomps another mouse]].
21%%* AntiVillain: Compared to [[spoiler: his mom at least, Nick is this]]. He was ready to betray her just to be with Chasity.
22* AssholeVictim: It's a little hard to feel sorry for [[spoiler: Kayla]] when she's been acting all EntitledToHaveYou towards Nick. This also applies to [[spoiler: the white woman when she's killed by Michael]].
23* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: She doesn't abuse them, Ven outright kills mice just to represent her victims and belittle them.
24%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Out of all the characters, it's [[spoiler: Michael]] who dispatches the BigBad. Lampshaded by [[spoiler: Nick]]:
25%%-->'''[[spoiler: Nick]]:''' What? You of all people?!
26* BigBad: The white woman who's responsible for the kidnapping of the cast. [[spoiler: Her son Nick]] is TheDragon.
27* BlueIsHeroic: Chasity wears pastel blue clothes and she's one of the good guys.
28* BoundAndGagged: This happens to Chasity when [[spoiler: Nick]] kidnaps her so she'll be unable to resist and/or get the upper hand and retaliate.
29%%Is this really CassandraTruth if she was framed? * CassandraTruth: It looks like Nadium is the killer but she insists she was framed. [[spoiler: She was right]].
30* ConspicuousGloves: Nick has a pair of those. Nobody questions it, [[spoiler: but he's the killer and that's why he has them]].
31%%* DeadlyGame: No need to explain.
32%%* DisappearedDad: With the condition [[spoiler: Nick and his mom Ven]] ended up in, one has to wonder where his dad is.
33%%* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Nick]] is this to the white woman [[spoiler: AKA his mother]].
34* EasilyForgiven: Chasity doesn't seem to mind [[spoiler: that her friend Michael and crush Nick are murderers in the end as she happily leaves the mansion with them]]. Though in [[spoiler: Michael's case, the murder was very justified]].
35* EntitledToHaveYou: Kayla's attitude towards Nick and a big reason why she acts like a jerk in the story.
36%%* EvilMatriarch: Ven is this. Who's her offspring, you ask? [[spoiler: It's Nick, and he's the murderer]].
37* FatalFlaw: Randall's anger issues don't do him any good in surviving.
38* FauxAffablyEvil: The white woman (or Ven) addresses her victims affectionately and acts bubbly, but that is just a disguise for her truly twisted nature.
39* FieryRedhead: Kayla is said to have red hair and boy is she fiery...
40* FirstLove: It's clear that Chasity is the first person that made Nick feel something in his heart.
41%%* FrameUp: Nadium really was not the killer. [[spoiler: It was Nick]].
42%%* HairTriggerTemper: Randall's defining trait.
43* TheHeavy: [[spoiler: Nick]] is the killer and active antagonist here, leaving the white woman as a NonActionBigBad.
44* {{Jerkass}}: Apart from [[FauxAffablyEvil the white woman]], Kayla stands out as the only one to be this as even [[HairTriggerTemper Randall]] had some PetTheDog moments, thus [[spoiler: she's the only AssholeVictim]].
45* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Randall, despite coming off as unpleasant at first and even losing his tempter to the point of hitting Michael with a potted plant, apologizes for it. Nick also counts as this, as he can be harsh on the others but he's genuinely respectful towards Chasity and Michael.
46%%* TheLeader: Lydia acts as this in the beginning. She's [[spoiler: quickly dispatched]] and Nick takes over.
47* LightIsNotGood: Before her name was revealed, Ven was only ever called the white woman. And that nickname doesn't exactly sum up who she really is.
48* LoveTriangle: Between Kayla and Chasity for Nick. [[spoiler: Kayla loses as she dies]].
49* MoralityPet: The whole reason why [[spoiler: Chasity and Michael]] are the only ones to survive is because they are this to [[spoiler: Nick]].
50* TheNapoleon: Kayla is mocked for being short and she is by far the least pleasant character in the story.
51%%* NiceGuy: Lydia, Chasity, Michael and Nadium.
52* NonActionBigBad: Aside from having [[spoiler: her son]] do all the killing, Ven doesn't actually collide with the protagonists directly.
53%%* OverlordJr: [[spoiler: Nick]].
54%%PCE - How is Randall evil? * PetTheDog: Randall apologizes for hitting Michael with a potted plant.
55* TheReveal: The murderer is [[spoiler: Nick]]. He's [[spoiler: the son of the white woman, whose name is Ven]].
56* SupportingProtagonist: Chasity acts as the character whom the story is told through but ultimately, the story is actually about [[spoiler: [[VillainProtagonist Nick]] breaking away from his mother's control]].
57%%* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler: Michael]], as he was the one who got rid of the BigBad.
58* SacrificialLamb: The first one to be killed is [[spoiler: Lydia]]. She was stabbed with a knife in the chest.
59* SerialKiller: One of the seven is apparently a murderer stalking the rest. [[spoiler: It's Nick]].
60* SlapSlapKiss:
61-->''(Chasity gives [[spoiler: Nick]] a slap)''
62-->'''[[spoiler: Nick]]:''' Excuse me? What was that for??
63-->'''Chasity:''' For putting me down here, for going through with all of this, and for making me actually forgive you!
64-->''(Then she kisses him)''
65-->'''Chasity:''' And that's for making me care about you!
66* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Chasity]] from the girls and [[spoiler: Michael]] from the boys.
67%%* {{Tomboy}}: Judging from her clothes, Lydia is probably this.
68%%ZCE and also bad indentation ** TomboyishPonytail: And she has this too.
69%%* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler: Nick]] gains one on Chasity.
70%%* VillainousMotherSonDuo: Ven and [[spoiler: Nick]].
71%%PCE - Explain the protagonist part * VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler: Nick]] is the murderer and also TheDragon to the white woman [[spoiler: who's also his mother]].
72%%* WeHardlyKnewYe: Applies to SacrificialLamb [[spoiler: Lydia]] who was the first to be killed.
73* WhamLine:
74-->'''[[spoiler: Nick]]''': [[spoiler: [[TheReveal I...You should just...not trust me. I could do...bad things]]]].
75** Also this line:
76-->'''[[spoiler: Michael]]''': [[spoiler: [[SympatheticMurderer I killed]] [[AssholeVictim your]] [[BigBad mother]]]].
77* WouldHitAGirl: Randall pushes Chasity down a set of stairs when he finds out she voted for him. More extremely, [[spoiler: Nick]] has no qualms about murdering girls.
78* YouMonster: Said by Chasity to [[spoiler: Nick]] when he confesses to her that he's the killer.
79* YouWakeUpInARoom: How the story starts for all seven victims. Subverted with [[spoiler: Nick]], as he knows exactly where they are, who the woman is and why they're there.
