CALHOUN HOUR - HUNTERS

[vivariummods]

Yet another day, yet another Calhoun Hour where characters find themselves waking up in a new and unfamiliar area. The first thing characters will notice that it's dusty and dark. With almost no lighting whatsoever, characters will be unable to see anything in front of them. Are they with someone else or did they wake up alone? That's something they will have to figure out after Calhoun's announcement. "Ahem, ahem. Testing, one two three, testing. Well, gooooood evening, test subjects! Yes, you have really been knocked out for that long, but it only fits the mood of today's game." He snickers then continues. "How many of you like the horror genre? I bet half of you do, but I hate it! Cheap and cheesy effects with lame jump scares, and what is this, The Human Centipede? "100% medically accurate"? Just ugh, that's not even horror. That's just an insult to science and medicine." "Anyway, I thought I'd put my own twist to trying out this horror business, so welcome to my little haunted school! Now, all of you should find yourselves a nice little camera and pocket flashlight. I want you all to do me a little favour and take a nice photo of at least five different of my best friends down there. I'm not asking for breathtaking photos, but at least put some effort into it, test subjects. Do that and, you know what, I'm feeling generous, I'll give you whatever you want in the shop and I guess a memory or something, whatever, we'll talk later, test subjects!" And with that, it goes silent... BASIC INFO ✖ BEGIN THE HUNT ✖ POST-EVENT MINGLE ✖ TURN-IN

There's someone saying "please hug me" and it's coming from down the hall. *He pointed down a shadowy hallway.*

An odd thing to announce to people.

[not_that_sasuke]

[That... doesn't sound good.]

It might be one of those 'ghosts.' I'm not sure it's a good idea to stick around...

[blind_badass]

True, but don't we need to take a picture of it? *He can hear the footsteps getting closer and closer.*

Perhaps if you distract it with your flashlight, we can both safely take pictures.

[not_that_sasuke]

[He has a point, but...]

Alright, I'll try. [It's not really fair to Snake to just ditch out because it's a little more complicated.]

I don't know if it will be easy to herd it, so... just be ready to point and shoot in its direction.

[blind_badass]

*Although Snake wouldn't certainly hold it against you. He has no idea if his pictures are any good.*

All right. I'll have my camera ready once I hear it close enough.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Sasuke hasn't even made the slightest attempt to take a good picture because that would involve limiting his sight much more than he's comfortable with in this situation.

He moves in front of Snake, his posture a slight crouch and ready to spring into action as needed. The footsteps get closer and closer, eventually revealing...

A... child?

Mindful that the camera seems to work at stunning them, he pushes down any feelings of fear and waits for it to get right up close. Snake might not be able to get more than just a picture, so it may be up to him to actually deal with it.]

[blind_badass]

*Closer and closer the footsteps draw near. The constant begging of hugs helps Snake figure out where the creature is. He takes an approximation of the direction, aims his camera and takes a picture, blinding it with the flash.*

*Clearly it didn't like the gesture as the child moans, rubbing at the sack over its head.* Too BRIGHT!

[not_that_sasuke]

[Sasuke follows up with a quick photo of his own, as close up as he dares to get. Which, given his speed, is pretty much right in front of the child's face. It stumbles over with a cry, and he reaches back to tug on Snake's right arm.]

Let's go!

[blind_badass]

*Snake usually didn't like to be tugged anywhere but given the scenario and the now angry yowls of the child, he beat a hasty retreat with Sasuke.*

[not_that_sasuke]

[If it's any relief, he does let go fairly quickly. He just doesn't want Snake to lose him, what with how quiet his steps, even running, tend to be.]

Take a left here!

[They're headed for the courtyard.]
