CALHOUN HOUR - ESCAPE

[vivariummods]

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!" BASIC INFO ✖ ESCAPE ✖ POST-EVENT MINGLE ✖ TURN-IN

*He wasn't expecting that, quite frankly. It surprises him that she'd help him out because she's kind of a tough read on the best of days.*

Do you want me to go ahead and push the button?

[skyentificmethod]

I'm not particularly looking forward to punishment, but it's gonna happen sooner or later, so...

[she shrugs, which he probably can't see, ugh whatever]

Do what you want. I'll put it on your tab.

[blind_badass]

Duly noted. *And! He pushes the button! What will happen?!*

[the door opens! for him.

for her, a trap door opens up and she falls in with a yelp. Though it's a pretty short one, as it's not a very deep hole, just a few feet. It is even padded with what feels like a bunch of rounded objects, like figures or dolls... Apparently whoever made the Calhoun shrine had a few things left over, dolls and figures and inflatables and statues with limbs and strings and heavy, clinging things that seem to shift so that Ema gets tangled even deeper within them the more she struggles to get herself out, like a quicksand made of musty-smelling rat plushes. Their eyes begin to glow red as the trap door closes above her.

...On the other hand, Snake won't have to worry about tripping at all!]

Ema should find him later and give him a punch or something

[blind_badass]

EMA! *Well, whatever he'd been expecting to happen it wasn't THAT. He runs his hands over the floor but he can't even tell there was a trapdoor anywhere. Crap. He'd have to keep going in the maze and hopefully meet up with her later.*

she will consider it depending on how many other calhoun/drowning-related punishments are inflicted

[all three doors are open around him! the maze is his oyster. pay no attention to what certainly probably isn't muffled shouting from the floor, this is a safe space for winners okok]
