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 glances down at Rio's hand, taking notice of her pinky. She grimaces when she sees it jagged at an angle. ]

We should set it now. It's only going to get worse otherwise, right?

B-but that will hurt!

[So that's what it was.]

--And besides, it can definitely heal. But your eye...!
elliexir: ((゚ー゚;))

[ Oh... yeah, setting it back probably will hurt... How does she word this so Rio would want to get to fixing her finger first? ]

I know, but... it'd only hurt for a second. It'd feel better after and then you'll be able to help more with me eye, right?

U-uuu...

[Somehow, she doesn't look terribly enthusiastic for this.]

D-do we even-- even have anyone who can do it?
elliexir: (( ′ ‸ ‵ 。))

[personal profile] elliexir 2015-06-30 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a small bit of hesitation. ]

... I can do it, or we can ask Maria... She might know.

Th-the lady in green...?

[Well... It could be worse.]
elliexir: ((・_-。 ))

[personal profile] elliexir 2015-07-02 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she said something about knowing a lot of medical stuff... Not a doctor but maybe like a nurse or something.

[ It could have been like the first group, where they didn't have anyone in the medical field. They just have people who know how to do some basic first aid. ]
toybombs: ([Down] all the charcoal)

[So they have a medic among them. She thinks she could patch up some injuries herself if it came down to it, and she's not opposed to coming off as a field medic if it's useful to the group and gives her a good image, but having a trained nurse is much preferable.]

...Th-then, let's go ask her. If it's really okay...
