EVERYONE'S TRUTH - BEGINNING

[vivariummods]

Since the second group's first Calhoun Hour, the mouse in question hasn't appeared in the warehouse for longer than 30 minutes at a time. He only arrives during the early mornings to tape a random fruit of the day (apples, oranges, and pears so far) before scurrying off with his wagon. He refuses to provide any sort of medical relief for any of the test subjects, and does nothing more but providing the bare minimum to survive. So, when Day 9 rolls around, three days since that faithful finger breaking/eye blinding experience, it's no different; Calhoun comes in, tapes up some bananas, then promptly leaves afterwards, all without a word. An hour after he leaves, though... The screen in the Greenhouse, up against the wall besides the entrance, finally comes to life for the first time. It flickers on and on, flashing brightly. At first, there's nothing but static. Soon enough, though, it stays a consistent green tint. A blinking cursor hovers at the bottom and stays there for a few seconds, before it begins to type. DO NOT DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELVES COME TO THE LOBBY AND GO THROUGH THE NEWLY OPENED DOOR I WILL MEET YOU THERE....... And it ends there...

[slowly, Kaidou unclenches his teeth, after another long breath, gingerly pulling away from Calhoun. it's obvious even beneath his bracelet that his wrist is pretty badly burnt, but more importantly, that Calhoun is still, not even a hum on the mouse's body.]

...I think it worked.

[Atsuro keep on holding Calhourn down, even after Kaidou moved away. He slowly push himself up and study the mouse's body, mainly the port and the surrounding areas.]

He's not moving.

[Honestly, he's expecting Calhourn to get up and punish them. But so far... no movements.]

[ Ellie gets up and shakes her left hand, trying to ease the pain away from her wrist. It's not the first time she got shocked, just like Kaidou, so she's probably got pretty burnt... ]

Good here. Well, kind of...

[ She answers Maria's question, but then turns to everyone else. ]

But now what? Back to the robot?

[toybombs]

[Rio slowly gets back to her feet, trying (unsuccessfully) to clear the tears from her face.]

I-I think so... He didn't say anything else...

[babel_hacker]

[Atsuro slowly get back onto his feet, looking down at Calhourn's fallen form.]

...Me too. Since this guy's down, maybe whoever used the robot to talk to us would try again.

[elliexir]

[ Ellie keeps her hands close together. ]

Maybe he'll be able to get us out now.

[ Starting to walk back to the area so follow? Stop her? Whatnot??? ]

[toybombs]

[Rio winces at the first step, but bites her way through the pain to take up her usual spot right behind Ellie. Don't leave her behind!]

Let's not all hold our breath. *Because it wouldn't surprise her if some other stupid bullshit happened instead.*
