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.

A NEW ARRIVAL

[vivariummods]

[ If characters haven't awaken from the mumbling of Calhoun, they soon will be from the loud screeching of metal against metal echoes throughout the warehouse, barely being audible in the Greenhouse. Just as it was four days ago, the sound signals that the elevators have reopened. Running out and examining them, the small key card readers by each door have changed its LED from red to green once again. Upon further investigation, inside the first elevator, closest to the doorway to the Greenhouse, will one single newcomer... ]

[ Welcome to the 【 Warehouse 】. ]

[ Upon waking up, you will quickly notice just how dark it is. Asides from the single light dim light inside the elevators (named 'AMBIDEX ROOM' and a panel of florescent lights on the ceilings above the elevators, there are no other sources of artificial illumination in the lobby. Luckily, it appears that someone (Calhoun, most likely) has re-lit the small fire pits throughout to provide a greater sense of visibility, but just by a slight margin. With this, however, it'd somewhat easier to see that it's strangely empty for a warehouse. Aside from the elevators you've come out of, there's nothing else here. In fact, the longer you look around, the stranger everything looks. ]

[ Every window has been bolted shut, with no way of removing the steel coverings. Along the walls are numerous amounts of surveillance cameras, watching every bit of movement and listening to the sounds of everyone and everything. Every door is locked up tight, with no clear way of opening them, and there's one giant door with a 9 painted on it. To make matters weirder, you will find yourself with various scrapes, bruises, and dried blood. On top of that, you will all find a bracelet wrapped around your left wrist. It looks a lot like a digital watch, but you might suspect that it is broken, as the face is completely blank. There are two buttons on the top, but other than producing a satisfying click, pressing them does absolutely nothing. Trying to take it off is a futile effort as well, as they do not have a visible clasp to undo. ]

[ Finally, the cherry on top of all this? You will recall nothing. ]

[ You may find objects that may resonate with you, that feel familiar in your hands, along with having a general idea of knowing just who they are (names, likes, dislikes, peeves, etc), but trying to remember what happened? Why you're here? Where you even are? It'd all be one giant blur and trying to force a memory only leads to a headache. The whole situation reeks dangerous and suspicious, but there seems to be a lot of people here, so go introduce yourselves? ]

[ As for the "old-timers", come meet your new fellow test subject. They're probably not dangerous... Probably. ]
