CALHOUN HOUR - BINGO II

[vivariummods]

Early in the morning of Day 84, an announcement booms from the warehouse speakers: "All test subjects report to the first floor lobby immediately for your next experiment." Zero's unmistakable garbled voice goes silent afterwards. Once everyone gathers downstairs, they'll be treated to an unexpected sight: Zero standing in front of them in the flesh. Standing tall (at 5'4"...), they're donned in the same piece of clothing everyone remembers them in: a black raincoat (large and long enough that it covers their entire body, leaving no distinguishable features), a full facial gas mask, and matching black gloves. It seems as if Zero really dislikes showing skin... "Today, you will be participating in a game of, what you may call, 'Bingo'. I believe most of you have participated in this before. The rules and explanations are on the back of the cards." An arm is raised to motion towards the paper cards scattered on the nearby table, then it falls again. "Due to some... unfortunate events, I will monitor you in person. However, do not underestimate what will happen to you should you decide to cheat, escape, attack, or do anything that will break my rules. Your bracelets are still very functional and my cameras will continue to record every move you take, so I suggest that you refrain from doing anything foolish." "Now begin."

Hey bud, near the end of everything Hershel will approach with his shinai. What could he want...

"Heiji? Do you have a moment?" He asked. "I still need fight someone so I was wondering if we could spar."

[detectiveofthewest]

"Sure!" said Heiji cheerfully. "Though it does kinda make ya wonder... would an argument count? One of these days, I wanna see you flingin' insults at someone."

Let him just get his shinai...

[puzzlinglad]

"I was wondering that, actually." Hershel answered, examining the handle of his shinai a bit. Been a long time, buddy. "It probably would, though I'm not sure how sincere of an argument it'd need to be. I'm not sure I really have the temperament to start a convincing argument with anyone.

Aka doormat. "Did you fight someone already?"

[detectiveofthewest]

"Yeah, Jake took a couple of swings at me," said Heiji, eyeing Hershel as if by doing so he might be able to tell something important about him.

"...Y'know, I did like the fish and chips, but I just can't say much for British tea."

[puzzlinglad]

"Are you alright?" Immediate response there, and he glanced Heiji over as he said it. Calm down, kid.

Heiji's look made him raise his brow, and then his comment made him frown despite himself. "Honestly Heiji, that won't work." Trying to pick a fight with him, tsk. "... especially because it was clearly lovely and you know it." Hm.

[detectiveofthewest]

Wouldn't work, huh...?

"I dunno, I'm not sayin' it was awful, exactly. Maybe more... forgettable? Like drinkin' flavored water. Kinda lukewarm, too." Hershel. He was saying your tea was lukewarm.

[puzzlinglad]

How dare you say these things to his British face, he actually looked insulted despite himself. This was clearly a ploy to get him to argue but. tea. I mean come on this was basically blasphemy.

"Well, I would hardly call it lukewarm, you must have just gotten a colder cup." Huff. "I mean there is a certain way everyone likes their tea, you just haven't found your yet!"

[detectiveofthewest]

"Plus, Earl Grey is just kinda tasteless," said Heiji, hiding a smile. Come on, Hershel, start calling people shitlord wankers.

"I mean, unless ya consider bitter and gross a taste."
