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

*Snake sprinkles just a little bit more, not enough to be greedy, but if they need to trigger something to move on, this would be room to do it.*

[not_that_sasuke]

[...Well, he doesn't hear anything, but then again there is also the sound of fish nomming on that bread to contend with.]

I think if it was going to do anything, that should be enough.

[blind_badass]

That was refreshingly anti-climactic. Sorry for worrying you for nothing then. *Snake stops feeding the fish, who he hopes are well contented. Then he turns toward Sasuke.*

[not_that_sasuke]

The fish seem happy, at least.

[All munching away at the heaps of bread put into the pond. Were they not fed recently...?]

It was probably worth trying.

[blind_badass]

Thank you for being willing to put up with my fears, Sasuke. I won't forget that.

[not_that_sasuke]

[...]

It's nothing worth praising. Like I said, it was worth a try.

You... probably aren't interested in going back the way you came, are you?

[blind_badass]

Not really. If you're going to keep going, go right ahead.

[not_that_sasuke]

[He'd like to explore as much of this area for himself, but he doesn't just want to leave Snake here, either...

...]

I can give you directions to a room with normal food, if you'd like. It's plain, but I think it should be safe.

[blind_badass]

That would be helpful, actually.

[not_that_sasuke]

[It takes him a moment to figure out how to best describe it, but once he does...]

...Assuming the pond is to the south, if you keep your hand on the west wall, you'll pass through the first two hallways you run into. After the second one, go straight through the room and through one more hallway. After that, take a right and then another left. The door should have a riddle, and the answer is "corn." Once you say it out loud, it should let you in.

I can repeat the directions as many times as you need to memorize it.

[blind_badass]

I think I can follow that. Thank you, Sasuke.

[not_that_sasuke]

It's no problem. Good luck.
