CALHOUN HOUR - CAMPING

[vivariummods]

It's another day, it's another start of Calhoun Hours. Bright and early in the morning, Calhoun marches into the middle of the first floor lobby and shrieks into his megaphone. "All right, up to the Garden with all of you! C'mon, hurry up, I'm not going to wait for you lazy bunch!" He impatiently taps on his paw on the ground, but then stops. "Hmm, actually, nah, take your time. I'll just meet you all there in a jiffy!" And with that, he rushes off to take the stairs to the Garden. Listen to him and slowly make your way, or rush up, it doesn't matter. After everyone assembles in the artificial room, Calhoun is standing by the waterfall, staring off into nothing. He just nods to himself a few times and doesn't even seem to notice the presence of the test subjects though. It's not until about ten seconds later that he turns and tilts his head. "Whoa, don't sneak up on me like that, test subjects! Sheesh, trying to give this mouse a heart attack?" He huffs but then slides back to his regular mood. "So! Today's event will be called camping! Yeah, I got no clever name for it, sue me, but whatever, go set up a tent or other prep-work. I couldn't bring in all the supplies for this so you'll just have to make due until later tonight." He runs away from the waterfall, but manages to trip on nothing a few steps in. He stays on the ground, as if trying to trick everyone that he's going to stay there for a while, but then pushes himself back up to make his way to the centre of the Garden. He then raises his arms out, as if he's presenting something. "Even though I didn't manage to grab everything, I hope you like what I did to the place! Sure looks like a real campground, huh?" Asides from a few tent kits scattered around, there... isn't actually much at all. A few of the screen grids (that normally display the sky) are either turned off to a boring black colour or in a constant static display, but asides from that, everything looks exactly the same. Calhoun doesn't seem to really care though as he keeps on talking. "Soooooooooooooooooooo, get to it, or something. Do whatever you test subjects do during events like these, chip chop chap!!"

I wonder if they'd all get along or murder each other.

"It's strange he's never used those robots to deal with us, isn't it?" Hershel mused, crossing his arms as he continued to try to track whatever the heck Calhoun was doing. "They must have some measure of control over them, yet they don't seem willing to use that resource. Maybe it's a weak point."

He was honestly wondering if trying to use one of the blindspots to discuss things would be a good idea now that Calhoun seemed so distracted. Kind of risky though. "Also I can't honestly tell if not being given much in the way of supplies for the campfires is another oddity or simply Calhoun being unpleasant."

Why not both? They could cheerfully murder each other while aggressively shouting about how Hershel was the most attractive teenager in the warehouse.

"Maybe that's what he's plannin' on bringing later. Along with somethin' real unpleasant," said Heiji. "Considering how he gets about us breaking things, you'd think it'd be the first thing he'd show up with!"

Another thing -- if they broke off more of the trees, they'd have to deal with ninja Treebeard...

"I guess them robots don't work all that well, either. A bunch of them, anyway. They seem good with simple directions, like chewing on Alfendi, but a lot of the meat-sniffing ones looked pretty broken-down. The Bluebells... I dunno. Great if you wanna maim someone."
