CALHOUN HOUR - WOULD YOU RATHER





The morning of Day 6 starts off with a loud siren. Said siren keeps on going for five long seconds before a terribly scratchy voice comes on.

"Uuuuuup and at 'em, test subjects! No sleeping in today, so all of you come on down to the lobby, unless you want to hear some more of siren_001.mp3!"

True to Calhoun's word, that terrible alarm will continue to go off until everyone gathers in the newly lit lobby. With all the florescent lights now on and working, it's clearer to see just how dull this warehouse is. Everything is a boring metallic colour, there are plates covering up any windows, and every door remains shut tight (other than the one leading to the Greenhouse). The elevators have gone back to being closed off from entry, and standing tall and right in front of them is Calhoun. Two suspiciously clothed tables stand on either side of him, with objects clearly under those sheets.

"Sssssssssssssso! I think it's about time we tried something new around here. I'd like to introduce you to something call 'Calhoun Hour'! I've done a few of these before, so I know how to run a real fun one!" He snickers into his paws for a suspiciously long time, then looks back up.

"Today's is called 'Would You Rather'. Yeah, yeah, I know, boring title, but I'm a mouse, not some poetic title maker. Anyway, it's pretty simple. We play a few rounds where I give you two choices and you tell me which one you'd rather do. Here's the catch though: I'm pairing you all up, asides from this one comatose test subject, and you're going to give me your decision together as a pair. So, I'll get three votes in total. I'll tally them up and see which is the most popular choice. The teams who didn't choose that choice will now be forced to do it!"

He puts up a paw and waves his entire arm back and forth, as if cutting the air. He stops for a few seconds though, mid-wave, then resumes right away.

"No ifs, no buts, no ums, you gotta do it! Think I won't keep you all here until you get it done? Because I will, but don't think about trying to cheat the game by all agreeing to the same thing so there are no losing parties. I better see a losing party, all right?"

Calhoun then lowers his arm then walks over to a table put his paws underneath the cloth (tippy-toeing to reach...) and pulls out a few sheets of paper. He walks around to hand them out, sometimes missing and just tossing the sheets into midair, but paying it no mind.

"This will tell you who you're paired up with and your first round, so get to it! You got ten minutes to decide!"

[he lets out a little grunt at the impact, surprise, mostly, though that'll leave a mark, interesting]

That wasn't so bad.

[he seems to be asking her--see? punching is easy, you feel better, right? (no?)]
toybombs: ([uwu down] day or if it's night)

[personal profile] toybombs 2015-06-20 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope. She quickly bows her head deeply.]

I-I'm really, really sorry!

[PLEASE DON'T PUNCH HER HARD IN RETALIATION.]
fushuuu: (buchou)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-06-20 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't your fault.

...Get ready.

[honestly he'd be fine skipping his turn, but getting them both punished wouldn't really help. so he sets his jaw, then rears back for a punch--

--and pulls it at the last minute, just barely tapping his knuckles against her cheek]
toybombs: ([uwu Surprise] from inhaling)

[She closes her eyes and cringes back, emitting a small squeak when she feels the knuckles hit her cheek. It takes her a moment before she cracks a single eye, as if afraid to see what happened.]

H-huh...?
fushuuu: (momo)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-06-20 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a punch. Rodents can't complain anymore.
toybombs: ([Down] all the charcoal)

[personal profile] toybombs 2015-06-20 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakily brings a hand to her face as though to check before finally giving a relieved sigh.]

Th-thank you...
fushuuu: (...sempai)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-06-20 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs awkwardly]

You don't need to thank someone for not hitting you. That should just be taken as a given.
toybombs: ([uwu Fear] from this circle)

[personal profile] toybombs 2015-06-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
B-but after I hit you...

[H-he isn't mad about that, is he...?]
fushuuu: (tachibana)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-06-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I've had worse.

[...not that he can remember then but whatever]
toybombs: ([uwu Surprise] from inhaling)

[personal profile] toybombs 2015-06-21 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...? Do you remember getting hurt like that before-?

[What kind of life did you even lead man.]
fushuuu: (jackal)

[personal profile] fushuuu 2015-06-21 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
...Not really. Anyway, it's fine. Let's just get this stupid game over with

[~tennis agents~

...mostly he's trying to sound macho and also not worry her]
toybombs: ([uwu Fear] from this circle)

[personal profile] toybombs 2015-06-21 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods nervously.]

I hope the next one isn't as bad...

[Poor sweet naive child.]
