CALHOUN HOUR - ESCAPE





When characters begin to wake up, instead of finding themselves in the usual warehouse, they will instead find themselves in an a very unfamiliar area. Maybe they'll wake up alone, or maybe they'll wake up with someone else. Either way, the biggest point is that they're in God-knows-where and it's the start of a new Calhoun Hour.

Within seconds later, a familiar voice booms throughout the loud speakers.

"Ahem, testing, testing! Hello, can you all hear me?"

It's, without a doubt, your favourite robotic mouse, Calhoun. As usual, he sounds a cheery as ever.

"Wow, isn't this familiar? It's almost like the first time we've met, you know. Test subject in a new location, maybe alone or maybe with someone else, my charming voice rings throughout the room, trying to drown you all in an elevator. Good times!"

"Well, anyway, welcome to your new Calhoun Hour! You can see that I've taken the liberty to move you all to a more suitable location. You may not know it, with how small your brains are, but you're all stuck in a maze! I've had my fair share of running around in mazes, you know, being a mouse and all, so I want to return to favour to you humans! So, you know the drill: explore, look around, try to escape, blah blah blah, I don't need to explain all this! Just get to it! Who knows, maybe the exit here is an exit out to the real world. I might be generous like that, if you manage to find it. If not, well, I guess you can all starve here!"

He snickers, then pauses. Suddenly, a loud gunshot-like sound rings throughout the speakers, and Calhoun screams again.

"Let's get started!"

[this is the worrrst why is the water always cold]

Yes, he is basically a rawhide chew toy that can't even get going bald right and constantly dreams of sloppy makeouts with Calhoun. --That part's true, let us out so we can set you up!

[He's not really surprised this was becoming a roast of Jake, there was so much to work with. it's probably be amusing if the water wasn't getting calf level.]

U-um he's a rude, pigheaded prat who wouldn't take a shower just to a stubborn miser. [not untrue. is the water slowing or stopping?? have they shit on jake enough?? unless you'd like to push them to do more ridiculous shit then maybe, just maybe, it is stopping]

Except then he did, and was all cagey about why. I think he's hiding something.

[the tone is more frustrated than irritated, but hopefully Calhoun didn't notice since something close to worrying is probably not the type of show that'll get them out, more the type that'll just leave them in water up to their knees for some irritating amount of time until they die of trench foot]

...He really did enjoy that shrine. It was possibly the happiest he's ever been, he said. [more importantly, as the water seems not to be rising anymore, she looks around for some way to get out? a door? a trap door? a key to drop into a drain?]

[Hershel was kind of shocked it stopped at all, and more so that it didn't seem to be draining. Instead of bashing poor innocent Jake some more he hesitantly decided to mention this fact.] It's not draining... did we not do enough?

[He sighed, giving Ema an apologetic sort of look before trying something new.] You can be kind of cagey too, you know, maybe that's why you two get along. [Hey, if harassing Ema a bit didn't work he was out of ideas here. It probably even made the water lower a little.]

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm basically an open book. It's not my fault none of you are good at reading. [which, okay, even she admits is a bit of an overstatement but the last time 'shows' were requested the ones of understanding and friendship really didn't do very well. And there's definitely less water than there was a moment ago!]

And considering you two are thick as thieves, what does that say about your relative cage levels?

Ah, if it was in code, maybe. [He sounds amused despite himself, which he probably shouldn't but hey, as long as the water's still going down that's probably good.]

[Looking offended at the last statement is hard though.]
I'm an impressionable teenager, what's your excuse? [Hey, water's gone. The door may even open now, and he hesitates a moment moment before letting out a sigh.] Well, that really wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. I hope Jake doesn't hear about half of that, he may be a little cross.

Huh, are saying the rest of us are bad influences?

[yeah, luckily the door slides open for them, because Ema is mostly just amused at this]

And I don't see how anything we've said isn't anything he already knows. I think it's important to talk about people to their face just the same as you do behind their back.
