CALHOUN HOUR - CHOICE





It has been two and a half days since the end of the virus takeover. The power, lights, and heating has been turned back on. All the newer areas have been sealed, BP is once again required in certain rooms, and it appears that everything is returning back to normal.

Asides from Calhoun.

Whether characters have chosen to give pieces of Calhoun to Zero, to hold onto them, or to destroy them, it does not matter. There has been no indications as to when he would ever be back, so there has been a robotic mouse void within the warehouse. Zero has refused to leave any information as to the status of rebuilding Calhoun, but they have left this one message for everyone shortly after the power restoration:

"While you may be left alone to your devices, do not trick yourselves into thinking that there is a way out of here, or that you can do as you please. I will always be watching."

It has been two days since Zero has left these parting words before entirely disappearing. When attempting to call for them, everyone will only be responded with silence. It's clear that they're still watching over the facility though, as any kind of rule breaking or suspicious activities would automatically be rewarded with an injection of Soporil β. True to their word, Zero is somehow monitoring the behaviors without saying a single word.

It is not until the morning of Day 72 does everyone hear again from them again, through the speakers throughout the warehouse.

"Good morning, Subjects. Today, you will be partaking in another experiment of mine. It has come to my knowledge that my assistant has been throwing these so-called "Calhoun Hours" every three days to keep everyone stimulated between his rooms. Don't assume that I will do anything similar of the sort. This activity has far more care and thought put into it than this camping nonsense, so let us begin."

"The rules are simple: every test subject will be paired up and placed against each other. The collective will then have to vote for one of the pair. The one with the fewest amount of votes will be subjective to a punishment of my choice. The one with the most amount of votes will continue their dull experimental lives until the next set of events."

"Any petty attempts of rebellion will be met with serious repercussions, so I would suggest that you rethink any sort of plans."

"Now, best of luck, Subjects. We will talk again soon."

Well maybe if you could actually talk with that boisterously loud voice of yours he'd actually wake up or something.

But no, he'll be out for about five minutes or so. Heiji is free to ditch out in the meantime, because even when he wakes up he's going to be - surprise! - groggy still.

Hmm, should he leave Sasuke to lie out on the floor by himself?

...Yeah, no. When Sasuke woke up, his head would be resting on a folded-up jacket. Heiji was sitting by the river, with a mug in his hand. There was a little sprig of something in it.

...?

It takes him a moment to collect himself again once he wakes. He was in the dark-- no, he was in the garden. What was he doing in the garden? He had rested in the tree for a while, but somehow he fell, Heiji caught him, and then...

...Where did the jacket come from? Had he been out that long?

He sits up, his hand pressed to his head. He's so tired, it's making it hard to think...

"...What's going on...?"
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: complaints)

[personal profile] detectiveofthewest 2015-02-24 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You fell asleep again, said Heiji. He indicated five minutes with his fingers.

You weren't doing this before. True, they all looked a little tired -- particularly Clive, who had been doing his best Sleeping Beauty impression. But Sasuke as a general rule didn't just pop off in the middle of a conversation. This was... concerning.

If that happens in a puzzle room, it could be trouble. You should rest.
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] next stop.”)

Five minutes? Not that long, then. But still pretty concerning when he wasn't normally the type to sleep too much to begin with.

His eyes flicker briefly to his bracelet. Just what had been in that injection...? It couldn't have been the usual dose of Soporil, or he would have been out for much longer. He didn't feel it go off again, either.

"...Alright. I'll try to take it easy for now." If in part because he's beginning to realize just how pointless it is to try to do much if he's prone to falling asleep at any given time. Rest might not help, but at least he won't cause any trouble that way.

"Sorry if I worried you."
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: haha no way)

[personal profile] detectiveofthewest 2015-02-24 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Heiji put a hand to his chin, opened his mouth, and... remembered he wasn't allowed to talk. He did catch that look at Sasuke's bracelet, but the reaction didn't seem the same as when he'd seen the others get sedated.

I have a couple of sedatives, if you need them later. Too bad they didn't have any warm milk or anything, sorry Sasuke.
not_that_sasuke: ([Unsure] closely and start)

He'll survive, somehow.

"...I'm still pretty sleepy. I don't think it'll be a problem." What a naïve child he is.

With a final nod, he'll head off to find a nice corner to sit in until he gets hungry probably. No need to keep passing out all over the dang complex.
