DOUBLE BLIND

[vivariummods]

Shortly after the conversation with Zero ends, Zero opens the doors of the Garden and allows everyone to leave. However, the rest of the warehouse isn't better than the Garden: The lights are still off, leaving everyone surrounded in darkness. The temperature just keeps on dropping, reaching near freezing point. The air feels more and more polluted, making it difficult to breathe without coughing, and nothing seems to be working as they should be. The electronic doors refuse to open without any power source, cutting off access to the cafeteria and dorms. At the very least, Zero has managed to open all the doors leading to puzzle rooms and has informed the group that new areas are now accessible to them, but they're on their own should they want to enter any other rooms. Before the screens in the Garden turn off, Zero finally informs them that a new feature has been unlocked on their bracelets: any test subject wearing a bracelet may communicate with one another with the bracelet acting as a communication device. Holding onto the left button will enable the line to open just like a walkie-talkie. As long as test subjects are in the warehouse, they will have no troubles speaking with one another. What if they wish to talk to Zero? Zero's time is not be riffled, but they were generous enough to appear whenever anyone found a screen and pressed the on button a total of three quick successions. And with that, Zero disappears from the grids and finally leaves everyone in complete darkness, leaving only one last piece: "Best of luck, Test Subjects." BASIC INFO ✖ MISSIONS ✖ MINGLE

Clive laughed. "You must have much better eyesight than I do if you can actually read anything in this darkness." If only there were candles lying around... Then again, holding a book so close to a flame would be pretty dangerous.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm fine now. Eating that salmon brought back the rest of my energy. Yesterday was such a long and exhausting day... I'm not surprised that I fell asleep so suddenly." All that tent building and exploring and doing missions and dragging his chair up the stairs, that was a lot of work for a tiny injured British man. "I hope you've gotten some sleep by now, too."

"Well, I mighta used my flashlight a bit..." Just a bit! Look, it was important to read mystery novels, shh. "And of course while we had the campfire going was the perfect time to catch up on a few chapters."

Heiji grinned at Clive. "Anyway, glad to hear it! I took a few naps here and there, but... while the power's out is pretty much the only time we'll have the run of the place, yeah? So I thought I might as well enjoy it while I could. Been nosin' around here and there -- it's how I found that room where I tucked you in! There's even a pool, but it might... have robots in it. Just a little."
