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

Yup. Sounds like we can do multiple tiles at the same time for chords and harmonies and stuff if necessary. Mmm...do you know Chopsticks? or Heart and Soul? Mary Had a Little Lamb? Billie Jean?

I know chopsticks, that's an easy one. Uh--alright, let's go. On the count of three?

[skyentificmethod]

Okay! O--two--one, two, three...

[stepping on the appropriate notes?? go barely-remembered musical training, go]

[ Wirt's doing alright. The tiles seem to be laid out like a scale would be, so he can figure out where he should probably go easily enough. And he seems to have a good ear for music, which helps. ]

We're a little flat. Try one row of tiles higher.

[skyentificmethod]

On it.

[she tries it and that seems to help; every so often there are tiles for notes that really shouldn't exist (on an organ, at least; most other instruments are analog enough to make it work) but really, what do you expect from Calhoun anyway. tl;dr, after a quite minor amount of warm-up they can make some pretty respectable music. score~]
