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 still better than dying." Isn't it?

Though really, it's the last part that seems to cause him the most concern. "...What do you mean by that?" Is he expecting to have to mercy kill, or...?

Heiji laughed and reached over to ruffle Sasuke's hair, better look out buddy. "Yeah, I guess so."

But on to more weighty matters. "I think a bunch of the things we've been asked to do is about makin' decisions. Like voting who to punish, or answering questions about what we'd do in certain situations. Or playing that prisoner's dilemma game. So it's worth thinkin' about these kinds of things."

At least he stands still enough for the hair ruffle, even if he doesn't look particularly impressed.

"That's just to force us against each other though, isn't it?"

He considered this. "I don't think it is. Zero coulda just given us a a pipe, a revolver, and so on and turned out the lights.

"But even if it was, it doesn't change that we'll probably be faced with some uncomfortable choices in the future, just like we already been. That's why I think it's worth workin' this kind of thing out."
