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."

Heiji looked away briefly, but apparently decided to come clean. "Um... have you ever heard of an 'indirect kiss'?"

He wasn't sure it was even a thing in America, but judging by Snake's reaction, apparently not.

[blind_badass]

A what? *Nope, apparently not.* How do you kiss someone indirectly? It seems like a fairly straight forward activity.

[detectiveofthewest]

"...It's you touch something with your mouth, like a drink can or somethin', and then someone else does the same thing. That's why it's 'indirect'."

Oh, the scandal. Heiji sounded a little flustered just explaining it.

[blind_badass]

That's...kind of cute. *In a very innocent sort of way. Although it did bring up the problem of germs.*

Wait...is that why you ate part of my granola bar?

[detectiveofthewest]

Were you really worried about germs after where your tongue had been, Snake?

Heiji put a hand up to his face as if in a facepalm gesture, but instead looked down at the ground through the space between his fingers. "D... don't call it cute!"

So that was probably a yes.

[blind_badass]

*Oh, he can hear the tsun in Heiji's voice. He beamed.* You're right. It's more adorable, actually.

[detectiveofthewest]

Heiji couldn't even think of anything to say in his defense, so instead he just tried to deflect attention.

"Well, you do that thing in America where you feed each other when you're dating, right? That's way worse!"

[blind_badass]

*Conversation deflected!* Depends entirely on the food. Trying to feed each other with chopsticks wouldn't work. But what if I fed you strawberries dipped in chocolate, hmmm?

[detectiveofthewest]

...!

If it was even possible, Heiji got even redder. "Is that... somethin' you like doing?" He wasn't going to cop to being into it right away, of course, but there was little disguising that note of interest in his voice.

[blind_badass]

*Snake canted his head, considering.* I'm not entirely sure. We could test it out and see if you enjoyed it. With all kinds of food. All for the sake of science.

[detectiveofthewest]

"Well, if it's for science..." Then he wouldn't complain. "Oh yeah, you're only one point away from gettin' better food at the cafeteria, aren't ya? Bet that's gonna be a relief!"

[blind_badass]

I'll have to test it to see if it's any better...but it would be nice to eat something other than gruel. *Not to mention getting slightly more nutrition.*

[detectiveofthewest]

"Tell me about it when ya do," said Heiji, grinning. Normal(ish) food, what a thought...

"That's one of the things I miss the most. That and hot baths."
