clue
| One whole day after the second group’s arrival (along with one whole day since the dead body’s discovery...), some sort of activity in the warehouse begins. Early in the morning, there is an abrupt squawk of microphone feedback over the loudspeakers (and since when were there loudspeakers?), before a screechy voice makes a terse announcement: “Ahem, ahem, testing. One, two, three, testing! Ooookay, looks like this is up and running. So, you pesky test subjects, what a mess you’ve made! I take my eyes off you for just a moment and this is what happens. You really are a terrible bunch, aren’t you?” The “voice” clicks its tongue three times, letting out a heavy sigh, before continuing. “Anyway, let’s get this all sorted out! Know those elevators back out in the lobby? Well, first of all, they’re not elevators. They’re called Ambidex Rooms, so get it right, but second of all, why don’t you all make yourselves useful for once and step into them? Only one test subject per room, though! You can try to go in with someone else, but we just don’t start. What is that? You don’t want to go in? Then we can do this aaaaaaaaall day, I’m a very patient mouse, I’ll let you know!” And with that, the mysterious announcer goes silent. In fact, they’ll stay quiet until all the test subjects finally enter one of the AB Rooms, no matter how long it take. Once inside, the doors shut close, trapping them all inside.. |

"That's how this game works, doesn't it?"
no subject
"A really stupid game," she said without hesitation. "But what did you see in yours?" Might as well ask and get some info without running away from Hisoka just yet...

It was probably way too hard to tell, considering how grainy and shitty the video footage was, but might as well ask. Circumstantial evidence or not, it was still something.
no subject
Hisoka motioned to Ellie. "What about you? Did you see anything helpful?"
no subject
In response to Hisoka's question, she thought back to it for a bit, pausing. "... There was some guy in a suit washing something dark off. That's all I saw."
no subject
Imagine Hisoka in a suit. Imagine it.
"Not very helpful, these videos. But that must be the point. ...By the way, how are you doing? That girl in the elevator was closer to your age than mine." Weirdly enough, Hisoka actually seemed interested in (concerned about?) Ellie's answer.
no subject
And as for that last question, she looked at him suspiciously. Now, if that question came from someone like Rio, someone more around her age (she totally didn't know that Rio was 19 like who would even think that??) and someone who wasn't a complete creep, she'd be more willing to answer. So, she was going to be cautious here and kind of be a jerk about it.
"Why do you want to know?"
no subject
"Most people would be a bit unnerved by the find. I just wanted to make sure you were doing all right ♣." Hisoka actually did care if Ellie was going to have a breakdown or something. He liked her, and in any case there would probably be more murder down the line. It was important that she didn't break down like Rio. That would be very sad.
no subject
"Then I'm fine, or at least as fine as I can be after all this." Was that enough of an answer for him? It did at least hint that she wasn't doing super okay, that she was rattled by the dead girl, but at least she didn't break down like Rio (certainly with not how defensive she was acting right now).
no subject
Hisoka was so relieved that Ellie wasn't going to roll over and cry. That would have been very...
......disappointing.
no subject
"I guess, but you seem to be taking this really well. You don't even seem to be fazed." Trying to flip this so the point of focus goes on him, like dude, you were acting all normal, smiling like there wasn't a dead girl yesterday.
no subject
"I guess I just have one of those faces. Besides, isn't that what our host wants? To jar us?" Like... that's what Hisoka would want if he was running this game.
