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."

Hershel and the rest might not see it that way, but fine, be my guest. You can have the first punch.

1/2

[not_that_sasuke]

Then tell them to talk to me about it and I'll vouch for you.

[It wouldn't be the first time. But since Jake's agreed to it, he'll nod and size him up, trying to figure out what would be easiest to bruise. Not that... it seems especially easy no matter where he looks, but. Y'know.

In the end, he decides on the arm - his left, specifically. He goes ahead and aims a punch and--]

2/2

[not_that_sasuke]

[...Ends up backing off immediately after as he shakes out his hand. Apparently he fucked that one up because ow. He feels like he just punched something way too solid to be human. The giant slab of beef jerky wins again.]

[fairsfair]

[ well, jake has to give sasuke some credit, since that did kind of hurt. he doesn't reach up to rub it though, just kind of shakes it off and looks way more amused at the fact that sasuke is shaking his hand ]

What, did you seriously hurt yourself?

[not_that_sasuke]

...Maybe.

[Speaking of bruises, his hand does appear to be a bit red now...]

[fairsfair]

Give me your hand.

[ he outstretches his own so he can take a look at sasuke's. dude, how do you even manage to hurt yourself... ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[By underestimating the fact that Jake is a friggin' wall of muscles when he aimed that punch.

He reluctantly holds his hand out. It looks red...

Did. Did he just bruise himself trying to punch Jake?]

[fairsfair]

[ taking the hand and wow, yeah, good going, sasuke. jake should probably be more concerned but no, he just finds this funny instead. ]

Nice bruise. Might want to put something cold on it. [ he'll give back sasuke's hand now and reach into his pocket for his bingo sheet. he'll just tick off the 'bruise someone' part ] That should fill up my slot. Got anything else you need done?

[not_that_sasuke]

[And let this be a lesson to him to never attempt to punch beef jerky ever again.]

Just swapping clothes, but...

[He's... not so sure that's gonna work out well with Jake.]

[fairsfair]

[ would he even want to punch beef jerky again, if he had a choice? ]

... Yeah, that's not going to work out. [ he looks sasuke up and down, just... dude, get more accessories. ] ... Got an extra shirt?

[not_that_sasuke]

[No thanks, he likes having a functional hand.]

Yeah, another short sleeved shirt. Why?

[fairsfair]

[ having functional hands are overrated. give it up for the superior hook hand. ]

You want to finish your card, right? Just pass it over.

[ this is jake's way of being nice... ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[...Well, if Jake says so.

He'll dig around his bag and pull out the jinbei top, still clearly unconvinced this is going to work out but hey, if Jake's got a plan...]
