CALHOUN HOUR - SURVIVOR

[vivariummods]

At the crack of dawn, presumably, Calhoun gathers everyone in the first floor warehouse to make an announcement. "That's right, it's time for another of my special events!" He seems pretty pleased with himself. "I noticed you lazy, fat test subjects really let yourselves go last round! It's like I don't feed you here or something." "Well, I'm worried about your health, always lazing about and not getting proper exercise. So, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world, and so we're going to do something a littttttttllllllle different this time." "To stop you guys from getting soft from all the fun you're having here, it's time for a little workout." From one of the doors Calhoun never lets anyone go through there's a loud, metallic banging sound repeating, as if something is trying to get out. Calhoun does not seem troubled at all by this. In fact, he seems pretty excited. "The rules are simple, everyone's getting sixty coins to use as they see fit. You'll notice the vending machines on both warehouse floors. Anyone who isn't caught will even get a memory back." But what does that mean? "So go on, survive for 23 hours, I'll even give you a five minute head start. Good luck!" And with that he scurries off. Should people hang around they'll get to witness that same door open five minutes later. From the door comes several figures, human in shape but something is very, very wrong. They seem to be robotic, skeletal humans. At one point they must have had some synthetic skin over them but most of it seems to be melting or ripped off. They don't move very fast, mostly they shamble about until they focus on a target. Better hope it's not you! BASIC INFO ✖ FIRST TEN HOURS ✖ LAST HOURS ✖ POST EVENT MINGLE

I'll stick to radio, thank you. Having someone try to constantly relay the plays for me would just annoy everyone sitting around me. On the other hand there's probably more raw enthusiasm in person to such an event.

"Wonder if they do broadcasts in English..." Of course, it would also help if Heiji could remember a game he'd watched. Like maybe the one where there was a bomb in the stadium, and he had to prevent it from going off during the finals.

"By the way, you think you're into any sports?"

[blind_badass]

I don't think I'm a sports kind of person. As I said, I could follow along if someone relayed the information but I can't picture myself being passionate about it.

Heiji nodded. "Yeah, but you mentioned you played in a soccer league once, right? So maybe you used to be a fan. Well... I wouldn't want to drag you to somewhere you don't wanna go, but... Bein' in a crowd while a competition's going on, the air's gotta be intense! Oh, well. Maybe we can just go to a festival or something."

Then he looked a little embarrassed. "By the way, thanks again for leading me out of the cafeteria."

*He supposed he did make a small mention about soccer at some point but he felt disconnected from the idea of him playing soccer. Maybe if he remembered being in a game at some point? He did smile a little at Heiji's thanks.* Not a problem. You didn't do too badly in the dark.

Heiji's face turned a little pink when Snake smiled at him. "Of course! Can't let a little darkness hold me up. And robots..."

"Anyway, you haven't eaten since this all started, right? You wanna go to the cafeteria and get something?"

[blind_badass]

Okay, that sounds good. I can try a little bit of this spice Clive got for me. *Also good for a distraction.* Let's go.
