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."

It's just... worth discussing. I don't know. I still need to think about it. Maybe we can talk it over with the others - come up with a plan. Maybe someone could get a free pass to betray whoever they're up against, and they can... see what happens when they're out. I don't know. It's worth discussing.

[he's all over the place with this, and he realizes how disjointed his argument must be. he wants to get out of here, he wants hershel to get out of here, he wants this to be over already. but it doesn't matter. they can discuss this another time.]

Anyway... let's just leave it for now. I'm sorry for throwing that on you, even if, uh. [He manages a smile.] Communication is important. Do you have any other spaces on your card to fill?

[puzzlinglad]

That's true, maybe the others would agree to that. [It was better than most of the plans they had, which were none.] They might listen now that BP's high again.

[except for the idiot laytons.]

Oh, quiet. [it is important fuck you man. he glances at his card.] I only have fight- I'm not going to fight with you, so you know, not in the state you're in. Maybe I'll ask Heiji to spar... [he shakes his head.] What about you? I don't mind doing anything again if it will help.

[alfendi nods, but he lets the conversation drop. there's a lot he could say, mostly i don't even want to involve anyone else tbh i just want to demand they get betrayed by me, but. yeah. not the time.]

Please. Every limb I have could be dangling by a thread and you still wouldn't stand a chance in a fight against me. [twonk. he looks at his card.]

... Would you be up for sharing memories with me? I'm sure there are some things we could discuss. I can think of a few things on my side, at least.

[puzzlinglad]

[insulting, though hershel isn't going to argue that. alfendi probably fights dirty.] That's why you probably shouldn't fight anyone, unless it's an argument, I suppose. That would work, right?

[he nods, nothing wrong with that and frankly he was kind of interested in hearing anything of alfendi's.] I wouldn't mind- are you sure? You seemed rather closed lip about them before.
