CALHOUN HOUR - WOULD YOU RATHER

[vivariummods]

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!"

[ She just gives a small nod. ]

In the well. We have to fetch the water.

[babel_hacker]

Got it... and I'll help with it.

[Two people fetching the water would make it go faster.]

[elliexir]

[ She nods and just grabs onto Atsuro's sleeve, to tug him towards the Greenhouse. ]

Yeah, so c'mon.

[babel_hacker]

[He nods and let himself get tugged towards the Greenhouse. After a bit, he walks a little faster, so Ellie won't have to tug him all the way.]

[elliexir]

[ That's good, Ellie will just follow behind him, making sure that she doesn't bump into anything. They do eventually reach the Greenhouse and the well is easy enough to find, considering it's right in the middle of the place. Ellie used this once before, so she kind of has an idea how it works, so she just grabs the bucket and tosses it in. She then holds the rope out for Atsuro. ]

Here. This should fetch some water.

[babel_hacker]

[He nods, lowering his hand from his eye and accepts the rope from her. He looks at the well through his one good eye and then at Ellie.]

Alright. Ready whenever you are.
