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!"

[ Ellie sure as hell doesn't want to do it because she likes the idea of being blind. She's only doing it out of responsibility. ]

Y-Yeah... [ There's some hesitation, but she takes a breath and nods. ] I can do it...

But I don't...

[He doesn't want her to do it. He glances over at Calhourn, as if expecting him to tell them to hurry it up.]

There's no way to talk you out of this?

[He's mostly talking to get himself into terms with this.]

[ There's another slight tinge of hesitation but she shakes his head. ]

Nope.

[He lets out a sigh.]

...Sorry, Ellie. It's just... this is a little too much for even me.

Yeah... I know. I mean, it's my fault we're in this, so...

[ She takes a deep breath and lets it out. She then just throws her arms out to the side, then lets them fall to her side. ]

Let's get this over with.

[He slowly nods and looks over at the Calhourn.]

Let's.

[Time to officially put down their vote.]
