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

[some hour(s?) since their last meeting. the large room is...large and empty, musty-smelling and quiet except for the faint sound of breathing near the north wall. there seems to be some message painted on said wall in thick paint, too]

[blind_badass]

*Snake sniffed the air; it smelled like paint. Had someone painted the wall? And...was there someone else in the room with him?*

Hello?

[skyentificmethod]

[Ema looked up from where she was huddled against the wall and scowled, snorting out a breath. Really she just wanted to be left alone after all the bullshit of the day and of all the people she didn't want to see, Snake ranked pretty near the top. Instead of bitching or throwing anything she decided to get up and walk towards the south end of the room. It was a little childish and only cathartic in a mean way, but possibly better than starting an argument (in the long term). Ugh, being an adult was hard and nobody understood]

[blind_badass]

*Was someone walking around the room toward him? All right, that was a little strange.* Hello?

[skyentificmethod]

No one's here!

[yeah, that made a lot of sense but w/e, she continues heading for d11]

[blind_badass]

Ema! Oh thank goodness you're all right! *Except it sounds like she just keeps on going elsewhere. Well then.*

[skyentificmethod]

[she pauses in front of the doorway, shifting as if she can't figure out how best to respond. mainly because she can't]

...Thank goodness. Right. Everything was peachy.

[blind_badass]

I tried to pull you out but I couldn't even feel a seam in the floor. Did it dump you out in another room or something?

[skyentificmethod]

Eventually the trap door opened and I could claw my way out. Spat me back out in the room I started.

[blind_badass]

Oh, well that's good. I'm glad you're safe.

[skyentificmethod]

Right. Well, all's well that ends well, so...
