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."

*Snake was more than halfway tempted to tell Heiji if he wanted to know the answer to that, he could ask it as another Truth. But it struck him as being a churlish response at best. He did feel slightly foolish saying these things out loud.*

Sometimes you would say things that were quite kind. They kind of...made my heart happy, for lack of a better expression.

"Yeah?" Hearing him say that made Heiji happy, actually. And a little embarrassed, but he could get over that. He took Snake's hand, smiling.

"Then... I guess I gotta say 'em more often. You didn't mention that when I asked ya what you like, y'know." How terrible, Snake, holding out on him like that.

I was trying to avoid overly mawkish sentiment. *He works in physics, not romantic novels, thank you.* But...if you were to occasionally surprise me that way, I don't think I'd mind.

[detectiveofthewest]

"Hmm..." So he had to say nice things occasionally, but not all the time? This was difficult...

"I can't quite figure ya out. Sometimes you say stuff that's really embarrassing, but then ya hate other stuff. So... are we done? Or did you wanna keep playing?"

[blind_badass]

*Just don't be excessive in compliments and you'd be all right, Heiji.* No...I think we've had a productive game, Heiji. Thank you. I enjoyed it.

"No problem!" And you were so lucky Heiji didn't dare you to give Jake that foot massage.

"Okay, I'm gonna go fill out some more squares. I'll see ya later, okay?"
