vivarium | CALHOUN HOUR

It's another third day, the 15th day to be specific, and everyone knows what that means: it's time for a game!

Of course, he's still refusing to restart Ambidex Rounds, so today, it's going to be another little event (another 'Calhoun's Hour', as he's proudly calling it), but what is going to happen today? Well, the video game last week was fun and all, but man, was it ever tiring to set that up. This time, he wants to do something that lets him a bit more laid back, sit back on his beach chair with a nice martini glass while everyone works. So, he'll go and hand everyone a simple sheet of paper. Once taking a good look at it, it'll be clear that this is a Bingo sheet!

... Well, it's missing a bunch of squares and it's only 3x3m, but it's easier to just call it a Bingo card. It's pretty self-explanatory too. Just fill out as many squares as possible on the sheet and you’ll get coins! Some squares get you more coins than others, as they can see that kissing someone nets you five coins, but singing or dancing only gets you two. If you fill out a line, you get a bonus of five coins. You can only get this bonus a maximum of three times, so only three lines count, so you can only get an extra 15 coins.

If you fill out the whole card? Well, you get ten extra coins, plus a memory! That means, overall, you can earn 62 coins and a trip down memory lane if you manage to fill out every space. It’s not that hard either, some of these are so easy that he’s practically giving the coins to you. Also, it’s probably dumb to mention but some of you really are that dumb, so he’s going to have to mention that he has a strict ‘no cheating’ rule for this! You really have to do what the space says, instead of pretending that you did it then cross it off. As a reminder, he has cameras everywhere so he knows if you’re lying.

Oh, and he almost forgot. You can only do up to three activities per person, so no cheating by doing all nine things with a single BFF.

Now, with that all the way, get to it!

((Totally late but I know which one Snake would like to do with Heiji. Hee.))

*Snake had been sitting this mostly out, still being a little out of sorts from his earlier adventure with Calhoun. But he decided he needed to get some confidence back. Even if it only meant getting a few coins.*

There's one for kissing on here? I assume just something quick and not prolonged.

Heiji's eyes widened a little. Wow, he hadn't been expecting that one (although he guessed that it sort of made sense, what with Snake being one of the people here he trusted most and all).

"Y-yeah, I guess a peck or somethin' would count."

*He is somewhat nervously moving the fingers of his left hand, as though making sure they're still working. That's going to develop into a nervous tic if he doesn't cut it out.*

Well then, in the spirit of trying to play along to this little game, which one of us wants to kiss the other? If this is too intimidating for you, I understand.

"'Too intimid...' -- hey! Who do you think you're talkin' to?" Heiji was just offended by this slight upon his courage. The nerve!

"You sayin' I'm afraid to kiss you? Why, I could kiss ya right now!"

*Just the bristling insult in Heiji's tone made him smile and feel better.* Really? Then let's see if what the best Osaka has to offer in this game is good enough to kiss a friend. If you really aren't up to it, I can understand and I'll do it myself.

"Wha... why're you bringin' Osaka into this?" Goddammit Snake, didn't you know how deep Heiji's hometown pride ran? Now there was no way to back out of this!

He edged cautiously toward Snake. Well, at least Snake already had his eyes closed -- although they were always closed anyway, so it was basically just business as usual. And they were about the same height, so he couldn't really stall by having Snake bend down, either. "Fine, jeez, hold your horses a second...! You're so impatient..."

Once he was reasonably close, Heiji started to strategize at a feverish pace. Maybe if he went in at an angle... should he lean left or right? Hmm...

*Okay, that actually makes him chuckle and he can kind of sense what Heiji is doing.* I apologize, I seem to have left my protractor and compass in another jacket. Otherwise I'd help you plot whatever angles you were aiming for. *Really, he just made this so EASY.*

"Keep that up and you're not getting kissed at all, buster." Fine, you know what? Maybe this would get Snake to stop talking. Heiji grabbed Snake's collar, pulled him down a little closer and -- wow, he sure did have some long eyelashes there -- pressed his lips firmly against Snake's.

And held it for a second or two because damned if Osaka was going to lose to Seattle. Or wherever.

Then he pulled away. Ha! How do you like that, jerk?

*Of all the things that Snake was expecting, getting momentarily manhandled and strongly kissed by Heiji wasn't one of them. A fumbling little peck yes. Not what he got. His stomach does an odd little flip and he gives Heiji a close-eye stare. Realizing that letting the silence go on would be just strange, he says the first thing that comes to mind.* Well. I guess Osaka can be rest assured that its honor has been maintained. I suspect you must have several girlfriends that you've practiced on.

"Wouldn't remember even if I had, dummy," Heiji half-muttered, albeit not with much force because he was way too busy being confused. He was pretty sure he'd won -- unless by winning he had somehow lost...?

His face was all red, too, but thank goodness Snake couldn't see that. CRISIS AVERTED. Now the only thing left to do was Play. It. Cool.

"How's that, huh? Bet ya couldn't do any better."

Awwww yiss. Mission accomplished.

*Wait, what? Did he just...* Did you just challenge me to kiss you so we could compare who is better? I believe that goes beyond the bounds of this bingo game.

"Wh-whatcha talking about?" Wow, now Heiji really was confused. Also a little panicked. RED ALERT THIS IS THE CAPTAIN SPEAKING ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS

"After all that mouthin' off you were doing, I just thought I'd hit one back at ya. Didn't think you were that lonely."

Oh, is that what that was? Really. *His tone dripped with scorn. However, it did give him a chance to think that clearly the reaction he had was because just -someone- had kissed him and he hadn't been ready for it.* Well it's too bad my insult square's been punched because I could tell you what I think about your efforts of trying to one-up people.

How is the rest of your card going?

"Hey, I ain't the one jumping to the wrong conclusions!" said Heiji, tsun mode firmly in gear. He put a hand on his hip.

"And after I went through all that trouble to try and help ya out. I'm almost done with my card, so you ain't have to worry about me."

*Irritated is fun but listening to him start on the road to being angry served no purpose.* No need to get all bent out of shape now. I do thank you for helping me fill out my kissing square. I wasn't sure who I could approach for that, honestly.

Good luck on filling our your card and we can compare what memories we get later.
