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

"We have the necessities I guess, but... as long as you have enough points, you should have access to them." R...ight? Zero wouldn't really make a game where they had to fight to even get that much, would he...?

Heiji sighed. "One thing me and Hershel were kicking around was if they ain't cooperate with each other as much as we do. If so, they might be a lot lower on points. There was a long time where Clive couldn't get into the cafeteria."

Imagine a warehouse full of Zeloses...

[not_that_sasuke]

...What a terrifying thought.

"So even if they aren't actively working for Zero, they still work as a threat." That... would be just lovely to deal with, yeah.

"Do you think it's really just one other group?" He's not entirely sure how to start with gauging the logistics of any more. All he knows is, the place is huge as it is, and apparently Zero has an incredible amount of resources to support at least two groups participating in his insane 'experiment.'

"It could be more." Heiji had to admit that at this point, even if he'd resisted it as long as he could. "Apparently, Zero's trying to examine 'all possibilities'. Dunno what that means, exactly, but can ya really run a comprehensive 'experiment' with only two test groups? In Zero's book, anyway..."

"I'd really rather not get into conflicts with any other test subjects. We all wanna get out of here; there's no reason we should be fighting with each other instead of addressin' the real problem."
