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."

Whatever reply he was expecting, that definitely wasn't it. Forgive him, it's going to take a bit to process.

"...They'd really take in some kid they don't even know?" Somehow he's... dubious.

"Why not? They put up with me, don't they?" Yes, that was certainly true... whoever his parents were, they apparently put up with a son that liked to run around poking his nose into crime scenes and almost falling off cliffs and god knows what else.

"Anyhow, you're not 'some kid'."

"I would be to them. Even if we got out..." and that's not even a guarantee, mind - "...Would they really want to deal with an extra mouth to feed? They don't even know me." It's a nice thought and all, but the chances of it actually being plausible...
