CALHOUN HOUR - BINGO II

[vivariummods]

Early in the morning of Day 84, an announcement booms from the warehouse speakers: "All test subjects report to the first floor lobby immediately for your next experiment." Zero's unmistakable garbled voice goes silent afterwards. Once everyone gathers downstairs, they'll be treated to an unexpected sight: Zero standing in front of them in the flesh. Standing tall (at 5'4"...), they're donned in the same piece of clothing everyone remembers them in: a black raincoat (large and long enough that it covers their entire body, leaving no distinguishable features), a full facial gas mask, and matching black gloves. It seems as if Zero really dislikes showing skin... "Today, you will be participating in a game of, what you may call, 'Bingo'. I believe most of you have participated in this before. The rules and explanations are on the back of the cards." An arm is raised to motion towards the paper cards scattered on the nearby table, then it falls again. "Due to some... unfortunate events, I will monitor you in person. However, do not underestimate what will happen to you should you decide to cheat, escape, attack, or do anything that will break my rules. Your bracelets are still very functional and my cameras will continue to record every move you take, so I suggest that you refrain from doing anything foolish." "Now begin."

"That's disgusting..." He never needed the thought of gruel beard in his life, Heiji. "I'm definitely buying him a razor."

"It must be, why take the risk otherwise? He can't be one hundred percent sure we won't find some way to overpower him, or worse, that someone might not believe giving their life to try and get his wouldn't happen." He crossed his arms, sighing. "It's very strange behavior, there must be something going on. Maybe we should try talking to him."

"Right?" Heiji seemed almost happy having grossed Hershel out. "That guy needs some hygiene in his life." Otherwise, he'd just bury his beard face into a bowl of gruel, Jake was an actual monster.

In any case, Heiji nodded. "Yeah, let's do it. He hasn't exactly been a fountain of information so far, but maybe he'll answer a question or two."

Thoughts of horrible gruel beards aside Hershel nodded, glancing to where Zero was. "Might as well, it's not like we'll have a lot of chances like this." Unless Zero wanted to party with them more.

He headed over almost reluctantly, keeping some distance because he really wasn't all that sure about being anywhere near Zero. He'll glance to Heiji before turning to their dear friend. "Hello, Zero." Smooth opening.

"Yeah, what's shakin'?" Heiji asked, just two test subjects and their captor here, nothing to see.

"So what's this about 'unfortunate events'? Musta been pretty unfortunate if you're out here."
