CALHOUN HOUR - SLEEPOVER





Everything in the warehouse always followed a strict schedule. Every three days, there would either be an Ambidex Round and this would continue until four rounds were held. After that, it would switch over to "Calhoun Hour" events for the next short while, and despite the sudden change in atmosphere, it would follow the same pattern of always starting during the early mornings, but today?

Nothing.

No annoying screeching, no sudden decorations, nothing special to wake up to. In fact, there's not even an alarm. You can wake up whenever you want. Calhoun isn't here, he doesn't care. He's off on vacation, he doesn't have time for you test subjects, this is his first vacation in forever, he's free. At least, that's what the sheet of paper taped against the Number 9 Door read, signatured by Calhoun's attempt of drawing himself (note: it doesn't look good).

So, asides from the locked elevator and stairs, preventing anyone from accessing the second floor, it looks like you can do anything you want. Feel free to wreck havoc, have a fight food in the cafeteria, stab each other. You are all free now.

Well, only for the morning and afternoon.

During the evening, one angry little robotic mouse stomps back into the lobby of the warehouse. Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, lei necklace, and sunglasses (over his gas mask...), he drags his suitcase behind him and stands in the middle of the room.

"So apparently I'm not allowed to leave you spoiled test subjects with nothing to do! I have to "do my job" and keep you all busy. I don't think I'm getting paid enough for this," he huffs loudly and crosses his arms. "I was just really getting into my vacation too. I'm too good for these test subjects and this world, working overtime."

This tantrum goes on for another half a minute, about how even he needs proper rest too and he's not a robotic mouse, he's an overworked mouse, and so on. He just sighs once he finishes and shakes his head.

"But I guesssss it's true we need to get you lazy bunch to do something besides eat all my gruel and whine about these so-called 'human rights violations', so over to the second floor! Your next Calhoun Hour is going to be held there!"

At the elevators, they unlock with the clap of his paws, and behold, the new second floor!

The floors are no longer hard and cold tiles, but rather soft and covered in blankets. There are cruelly drawn signs stuck up on the walls to indicate different activities, a karaoke machine in one corner, a tv in the other, a rack full of pyjamas, and... is that yet another table with a mysterious punch bowl on it? What is this mouse and his deal with having punch everywhere.

"All right, punks, this was originally going to be all for me for my welcome back party, but since you need an event, I am generously giving this to you! Grab a pair of PJs and a ballot card. For each activity you do, you get one stamp. Get five stamps and, I don't know, you win coins and a memory or something. I'll figure it out later, so get to it!"

Yesss, mission accomplished. Besides, this was just one of those songs that was a total blast to belt out. Who knew when they were going to get this chance next?

Exactly.

When the song ended, Heiji turned his grin on Kuzuryuu. "Hey, nice one! Didn't know you were so good at this!"

In a much better mood now than when they'd began, Kuzuryuu laughed. "That's going kinda far, isn't it? I mean it's karaoke. It doesn't really matter as long as you're loud, right?"

That is what Heiji had said, after all.
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: yeah!)

"Well, I guess that is what I said. Hey, you wanna do another one? I don't care if it's dumb or whatever, I got some time on my hands."

After all, who knew when they were going to get their next chance to actually relax? Might as well enjoy the opportunity to act like a dumb teenager while he could.

"Yeah, why the hell not?" Kuzuryuu answered with a shrug. He had to admit to himself that this was a whole lot more fun than this place was a good 95 percent of the time.

He looked through the songs available, making a disgusted face as he passed 'Monster Mash.' Why was that even included, honestly.

Eventually he decided on Bohemian Rhapsody, because how could there be a karaoke event without that song.

"Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality."
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: music to my ears)

Thankfully, the songs that were available were pretty popular. Heiji knew a fair bit of this one, though he'd never really given the lyrics much thought.

"Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me."


He was absolutely hamming it up in front of the machine, gesturing widely with one arm and singing as dramatically as possible. So basically, this was happening.
