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

*High calculated recklessness. When Snake thought about it now, it should have been obvious that the best place to go would be the glass floor room. Clearly that's what his head had worked out when his emotions had not. He'd been so worried that Heiji would have been injured when it turned out Heiji hadn't been in as much danger as he thought.*

*Perhaps he dabbled in occasional recklessness when it came to the safety of the people he cared about? The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. If Clover had been in danger, certainly Snake would do everything he could to protect her, even if it meant putting himself in danger. The fact that he'd done it for Heiji suggested something important.*

*Instead, Snake smiled and finished Heiji's sentence.* Logical? Why thank you, Heiji, good of you to notice. One of us has to be.

And then Heiji felt annoyed again all at once. Well, it wasn't like it was an unusual feeling, for him. He lowered his hand and turned around, starting toward the maze exit. "...Not exactly the word I woulda chosen. C'mon, let's get outta here."
