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." |

Yes, I was worried about Hershel, but I'm not sure what it did. Guess it's not that big of a deal. [she shrugs, expression agreeing that she apparently isn't too fussed about it.] Strange how all the "punishments" seem to be different, though. Zero say anything about how long this is supposed to last? Not that you're missing much to listen to.

Oh? Things here are so unnatural already. Is listening to all our squawking and random metal clanking really that exciting? --At least you can see, Jake's walking around like Mr. Magoo. How're the injuries, btw? Maybe Zero went wide with the punishments because the rat left enough gore already, the litt
[A pause. Then she placidly passes the notebook back over, apparently heedless of the unfinished thought (though given that it's Ema talking about Calhoun, one can be pretty assured it wasn't very polite)]

...Nah but after staring between Clive's face and his finger and blinking a few (dozen) times, she can finally put together the problem, that being that she should never try thinking about Calhoun ever, at least when thinking too negatively means...wait...what were we doing? --Anyway, she takes back the journal and adds "le", pauses to sneak a glance at Clive, then adds some ampersands and stars, like newspaper comic cursing. So whimsical and completely not strange at all! Yep]
SORRY and also NEVER MIND THAT ha ha you didn't answer the question!
