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!"

[fushuuu]

W-what sort of question even is that supposed to be?

[toybombs]

[Squeak!]

Y-yeah, what kind of question is that-?!

[fushuuu]

A terrible one, that's what! Since when could some animal thing say who we were supposed to do--stuff to? It's not proper!

[is completely not blushing even a little bit gosh who would even!]

[elliexir]

[ .......... looking very unsure at this whole thing ]

Uhhh, what kind of game is this suppose to be...?

[ she's not freaking out over it like kaidou over there but she's still ???? like w... hy...?? ]

[elliexir]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually agreeing with you here.

[ this is how bad it is, it's so questionable that she'd rather admit you're right, grumpy face ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[babel_hacker]

Okay, terrible choice and all, but...

[TO CALHOURN if he bothers answering him.]

...S-so by kissing, do you mean on the lips? Or we can do it on the cheeks or... or the back of their hands?

[HE WANTS TO AVOID THE LIPS. Wait, can they avoid doing this unless they have a way of forcing them to commit these actions?]

[babel_hacker]

I have no idea... Though I'm kinda uneasy by the "forced to do the thing they didn't vote for" part.

[Punching? Kissing?]

[formicarium]

[ Calhoun takes a second to notice Atsuro and turns in a jerkily motion. ]

What do you think, test subject? I want a show here, something to eat my popcorn to!

[elliexir]

Then maybe we should vote for what we actually don't want to do? Then at least if we lose then we'll be safe.

[ she's not sure how calhoun would like that but fuuuuck that dude, who cares about him ]

[babel_hacker]

You want a... that doesn't even answer the question! Are you basically giving us free reign?

[If so, he can deal with cheeks.]

[babel_hacker]

We should. Although if we do win, the losers would be punching each other.

[He's glancing over at Rio. Since she's like, the smallest of them.]

[elliexir]

[ She catches that glance over to Rio and rubs her arm. She doesn't know if this will work, with Calhoun and all, but... ]

Can't just a light punch to the arm work? It doesn't have to be super hard.

[formicarium]

C'mon, use your brain! I was starting to suspect that you wouldn't have one, given the fact that you chose such an ugly hat to wear, but I've figured you would at least know what I would like by now!

[ Still dodging the question. Makes it all the harder to know the answer and whether or not you'd be punished for choosing wrongly :') ]

[fushuuu]

[wow, when is this grumpy face ever wrong though]

Anyone would agree! This isn't something to joke around about!

[elliexir]

[ the first time they met, when he called her a murderer... that's two so far and both times they talked to each other ]

I guess, but wow, you're getting really worked up about it.

[ okay, ellie agrees but she isn't yelling about it or anything ]

[fushuuu]

[has there been any proof she didn't kill anyone though]

I don't like people telling me what to do. Especially when they aren't even people. Why do I even have to listen to this crap?

[elliexir]

[ ... no, but there's no proof about him not killing someone too! he could be a serial murderer for all she knows ]

You're not going to do anything then?

[fushuuu]

[not in this au]

Why shouldn't I?

[elliexir]

[ totally in this au. he has the face of a murderer ]

Because you're paired up with Rio, so you're not going to do anything stupid to get her in trouble.
