CALHOUN HOUR - BINGO II

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."

Why did you want to indirect kiss Heiji, Sasuke.

"It's part of his experiment. He wouldn't be down here unless he had to, even with them security measures. You know why? 'Cause security measures can fail, and you never know when someone might really snap and come after him, threats or not. He don't care for us, or even for his robot mouse. But one thing he does care about is his experiment. Truth or dare?"

After that last one, neither option is all that tempting anymore...

"Truth."

Hmm, what would Heiji ask. Would it be a question about redheads?

"Do you wanna remember who ya are? I mean, get your memories back and everything."

Nope, this one isn't really that easy to do, either.

"...I should remember." Though that's not exactly a matter of wanting. He just... feels like he ought to, so he could at least explain to the others why he can do the things he can. Even if he's got a pretty bad feeling about it all...

"Truth or dare?"

Well, that wasn't really an answer. BUT HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO EXPECT A REAL ANSWER OUT OF A NINJA.

"Truth."

A thousand years too early to get straight answers out of a ninja.

"Did you ever remember what your connection to the police is?"

Cheating at truth or dare, literally the worst...

"Nah, not for sure. But based on my memories so far, I had to've had either a really bad relationship with 'em or a really good one. I'm bankin' on the second. Truth or dare?"

"Truth." Might as well get this over with.

"Okay, I think you been here long enough. So tell me whatcha think of everyone here." HAHAHA EAT IT DANI, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU DID THIS TO ME ON PLURK ONE TIME if not I guess you're just a senseless victim.

WOW, OOC BLEED MUCH? But since Sasuke is a polite person, he'll go ahead and actually think about this one.

"...I think you're probably our best bet at getting out of here. You're smart, and you can think quickly on your feet, especially under pressure." How many times already had Heiji shared his analysis of the situation?

"Hershel's kind. It could have caused him a lot of problems, but... he gets along well with everyone. I think that's his strength here-- even if someone turned on him, they'd have to deal with everyone else. He ties us all together."

"Snake... I think he's had training of some kind." His reflexes back then... Sasuke's glad he was able to protect himself, though it did strike him as a bit odd. "He's smart, though. And he seems willing to work with most people as long as they're reasonable about it." Who else...

"Skye.. She's reckless, and I think she's decided that she doesn't care if others don't like her. But I don't think she intends to actually hurt anyone, either. She just doesn't feel like she should have to explain herself of give any excuses." She'd seemed prepared to deal with any loss of trust that came from her secret coming out. Maybe that's part of why...?

"Muller's rough, and he acts like he doesn't care, but I don't think that's true. He'll help someone out if they need it. He was probably in some kind of military... it isn't good to sneak up on him, especially in tense situations." Though Heiji had already found out about that.

"I still don't know much about Alfendi. He seems to worry Hershel a lot with how often he gets injured." Nothing really new there. "Truth or dare?"

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT okay no. Heiji listened with curiosity to what Sasuke had to say, then nodded.

"Well, it's only fair to pick dare, ain't it?"

What was the worst Sasuke could do...

Indeed, what would he do...

"Play a prank on Snake."

Wow, Sasuke. You were a treacherous ninja, indeed. Heiji made a bit of an unsure face.

"He got pretty mad the last time I did that, though... but I guess at least this time, I can pin it on someone else!"

After he followed through, he returned to where Sasuke was presumably waiting, sticking out his tongue a bit in exaggerated disgust. "They really gotta improve that gruel."

Hey, you made him give up his first kiss, this is barely anything.

Still, he's checking off that box. Hmm, looks like he's doing pretty well...

"What did you end up doing?"

Sasuke rooted through his boyfriend's condom stash, he brought this on himself.

Curiously, Heiji turned faintly pink and looked away. "Th-that ain't part of the dare!" Keep your prying questions to yourself, Mr. Scarlet Ninja!!

"Can't believe I got sucked into doin' this again. I already did Truth or Dare this round."

You two... really are the regular lovebirds, huh.

"Sorry, should I have picked something else?"

NO THEY WEREN'T NOW SHUSH.

"I... it's fine, whatever." It had been a while since Heiji was solidly tsun, so this was kind of like old times...

"Anyway, you're only five points away from getting 'better' food. That's pretty good, I figure."

Gee Heiji, you've never been so tsun around him before. Are you gonna be ok there...?

"Three more rounds... I wonder what they'll have?"

It's fine... it's probably fine.

"In the puzzle rooms, or in the cafeteria?" Heiji was. Really looking forward to that food. "There're usually two Calhoun Hours, so we probably have another surprise waitin' for us."

"The cafeteria. We'll find out about the puzzle rooms soon enough." He's not even going to bother trying to predict what fun adventures await there.

"I'd settle for some fresh fruits and vegetables. And tea. Maybe some miso..." No one get Heiji started on the kind of food he'd like to be eating.

"At least Alfendi's in pretty good shape right now, and Jake's got his vision back." And Clive... maybe he'd be back like Alfendi had been. One could hope.

"Hot tea sounds good. And rice, too." It doesn't even need to be very flavorful; as long as it tastes better than the gruel.

"Hopefully with everyone in better shape, we'll have an easier time getting through the next set."

"Nooo, don't talk about rice!" Goddammit, this was the face of despair. "I been tryin' not to think about it! It's so fluffy and wonderful..."

Shut up, okay, you didn't understand how much Heiji missed it. "Nice and fresh, with some okonomiyaki..."

"There was yakisoba in that labyrinth..." Sasuke might not be big on meals, but he'd like something that doesn't taste awful at least.

Heiji just sort of looked at Sasuke with dead black beady bird eyes, doing an excellent impression of Mr. Hershel Layton. He could use some yakisoba right now...
