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!"

"Well, Jake made that campfire before, right? In the garden. I bet he could make another one." Eyeing those fish, man. How long had it been since he'd had a sweetfish or a mackerel?

"Anyway, he's got about a hundred weirdo hobbies. Figure he's gotta have at least one normal one. Heiji tossed a few more crumbs in and watching as the fish inhaled them greedily.

"... If we could find Jake and something safe to burn, somewhere where the smoke wouldn't collect-" They could live the dream. They could do it. He sighed after a moment. "Though finding Jake in this is probably much easier dreamt about than done."

Ah well. He turned his thoughts back to the koi, head tilting. "Does Osaka have a lot of ponds like this?" He asked after a moment, throwing the last of his horrible stale bread in to watch them go nuts. "I'd like to see that one day."

"And we gotta kind of keep it quiet around Sasuke. He's weird about those trees, y'know. Gave me kind of a hard time about the bokutou." His name was Sasuke, he spoke for the trees...

Heiji laughed. "Yeah, old guys like to keep 'em. Gives 'em something to do in their retirement. I guess that's one more thing we gotta do when you visit."

"Well you probably shouldn't have gone and broken a tree branch like that. You're lucky Calhoun did get out the foghorn again." Hershel answered, less troubled by the tree mangling than Sasuke of the Forest was apparently.

"I wonder if that makes Zero an old guy. I'll be a bit cross if harassing us is a retirement hobby." He said dryly, standing straight now that he had nothing to feed these assholes. "You know I remembered something in my room, this big map on the wall with a bunch of places I wanted to go. I think Japan was on there, probably someplace more obvious like Tokyo though, rather than Osaka."

Heiji put a hand over Hershel's mouth. "Listen, I didn't break it, okay? It was practically fallin' off already! And it was a total coincidence that I just happened to be around when it finally did."

SHHH Hershel god you were the literal worst at secrets.

"Tokyo?" He sounded annoyed. "Everyone goes there. But I'm tellin' ya, the Kansai area's the place to go. It's so crowded out in Tokyo, like they're always havin' a festival or something."

Hershel just gave him a look with his mouth covered like that, one that said 'uh huh, sure,' but when he got his voice back he replied dryly. "Ah, yes of course, silly me to forget. Did you finish that little project of your yet?"

Look who's talking, dude, but yeah okay he's pretty terrible at it can't deny that.

And he couldn't help but look amused at Heiji's annoyance. "Heiji, I promise Osaka's going on the map now, infact it'll be the first place I try to visit. After all you've had to say about it I can't imagine going somewhere else first." Heiji Hattori, the entirety of the Osaka Tourism Department.
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: yeah!)

"It's looking a lot closer to the end product, but I still need to work on it a little more. Plus, I need to make sure it doesn't put out a ton of splinters." Too bad they didn't have sandpaper available, but Heiji would work with it.

He looked mollified at the fact that Hershel had moved Osaka up to the top of the list. "Well, of course it's gotta be number one! Though you can still go to Tokyo and all; it's only a couple hours by bullet train. I'd kinda wanna visit Stansbury, but I guess you might not wanna go back there..."

"A shame we don't have sandpaper or something like it... you could try wrapping the handle some, I have some spare cloth if you need it." Usually used for bandages but hey, good cause.

"I'd like to see Sasuke's school at least, the way he makes it sound it must be very lovely. Maybe after Osaka then? You could come with me, if Sasuke would want us visiting, of course." Hershel honestly hadn't thought anywhere too close to Tokyo could have a school with so much tree action, it sounded pretty awesome. And he nodded. "I'd like to go back to Stansbury too, if only to see how Randall and Angela are doing. Whatever happened with this boy must have been hard on them, I'm under the impression they lived in Stansbury far longer than I did." Haha. "It's a lovely place though, very rural, probably not as exciting as your motorcycle chases and jewel thieves though."
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: hee.)

[personal profile] detectiveofthewest 2014-12-15 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh? Why wouldn't he want us to visit?" And the real question: could Sasuke stop them even if he didn't want them to see his school?

"Rural towns've got their own charm. Was it a fishing town? Farming, maybe? I bet you could still get a motorcycle, even way out there. Course, you'd have to find a mechanic or maintain it yourself..." God the minute Heiji got back he was going to get a new ride, for real. Then WATCH OUT, CRIMINALS.

Answer: he absolutely could not stop them in a million years. "Well, he's a private sort, maybe he'd prefer we didn't barge in." Hershel tried. Again, too bad for Sasuke if that's true, never gonna not happen.

"I'm not sure..." Hershel crossed his arms as he tried to think it all over from his memories. "I don't think it was a farming village, maybe a little... ah, well, there were some ruins and such nearby? Like the ones Randall and I explored. Maybe it relied on tourism to some extent." He offered, looking amused again. "I think I'll pass on buying a motorcycle, that's a little too dangerous for my blood." Unlike Heiji and his criminal hunts.
