one new mouse

[vivariummods]

It's been two days since the vote. Since then, there has been little activity. The speakers have never been turned on since that day, and there's been no sign of the owner of that voice. No further contact has been made, and it seems as if the group was abandoned again without a clue as to why they're here. ... Unless any members of the group are lucky enough to wake up early enough to catch a glimpse of something, uh, "new"... In the Greenhouse, while the artificial sky is a reddish colour from "sunrise", a large metal ladder is placed in front of the sickly trees. Beside the ladder is a children's wagon, filled with apples, and on top is an upright mouse with a gas mask... Yeah, as if this place couldn't get any weirder. The mouse quietly mumbles to itself, something along the lines of "... work... not paid... test subjects... spoiled", and holds an apple in one paw and a tape gun in the other. It appears to be taping the apples to the tree branches, one at a time, occasionally climbing down to grab an armful of apples to bring up. It's only a third way through the pile of apples (which only seems to be about a dozen...) so catch it while you can.

[The ladies did tell him and prepare him, somewhat. So Atsuro quickly looks over and see a guy.

And he's not a clown, but he's holding a tennis racquet? He blinks and stares at him.]

Me? I should ask you that first. [This situation isn't friendly for first meetings.] I'm Atsuro. Who are you?

[fushuuu]

Kaidou. How long have you been here? What do you know?

[master of small talk he ain't. kaidou doesn't seem to be attempting to look threatening or anything, but his slouch and apparently perpetual frown aren't quite friendly, either. honestly you'd be doing better with the creepy clown, he's at least a decent conversationalist.]

[babel_hacker]

[But on the other hand, the girls said to avoid the creepy clown.]

I...don't know. I just woke up not that long ago. I have no idea how long I've been out for.

[fushuuu]

[maybe just don't get too physically close]

...Hmph. Same as the rest of us. No one looks familiar, I suppose.

[babel_hacker]

[He nods.]

Yeah. None of you guys ring a bell to me. So we're all a bunch of strangers in one place.

[fushuuu]

Yeah. A place no one wants to be. Did they show you the greenhouse? It's the closest we get to food, looks like.

[babel_hacker]

The greenhouse? Yeah, Ellie and Rio did.

...What about places to sleep? If we're stuck here for who knows how long, we'd need to sleep sometimes.

[fushuuu]

[he shrugs]

Don't think you're up for roughing it?

[babel_hacker]

Aha... Well, I'm not used to sleeping just about anywhere.

[He's a city boy who's used to his own bed, okay.]

[fushuuu]

There's a cabin in there...but good luck getting inside.

[babel_hacker]

A cabin? ...Oh, I think I saw it. I haven't try opening it. Is it locked?

[fushuuu]

Yeah. Windows are barred, too. Looks like it needs a key card. That's the only electronics in here...

[babel_hacker]

So a card reader... To get in, we have to get a keycard. I wonder if we can find clues inside it?

[fushuuu]

At the very least, there are beds in there. Haven't seen any keys, though. Unless you know something about electronics...

[babel_hacker]

Electronics? [He blinks for a moment, before he slowly nods.] Yeah, I think I do. I think it's better if I see it for myself.

[fushuuu]

It's just in the back of the Greenhouse. I can show you.

[babel_hacker]

Sure. Show me the way there. [Although he knows the way to the greenhouse, it's better to reinforce his knowledge and remember it.]
