CALHOUN HOUR - SURVIVOR
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! |

[What is he talking about. Hershel shakes his head.] I... think I see what you're trying to say, but there's more to survival than just who's the least clumsy or who can handle being stabbed the best. We're not animals either, so it's not like we're going to hunt each other down.
[ Akiko Akiko Akiko haha that sure worked for Akiko. ] Zero's the enemy here, not each other.

I know, but I'm just - [Simon sighs in frustration because he's an idiot and he doesn't know how to say what he wants to say.] I'm not strong like everyone else, I can't - like. You're smart! You're really smart! Heiji's smart, too! Then Jake and Kuzuryuu and Ema and that Piper girl all seem super tough, and then Zelos and Sasuke and Snake all seem like they can handle themselves, and then... there's like, me. And I'm not - anything. So.
[So yeah. It doesn't matter how much he tries to adapt. He doesn't have anything that makes him strong, and that's what makes him worthless compared to everyone else.]
