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...

Re: THE MESSAGE

[fushuuu]

...What the hell's this all about?

[elliexir]

Dunno, but what do you want to do about it?

[fushuuu]

[he frowns, chewing on his lower lip]

Do you think it's a trap?

[elliexir]

No idea, but what if it's not? What is it suppose to mean?

[ She lets out a small frustrated sigh. ]

[fushuuu]

[he lets out a longer sigh, then sets his jaw]

...Only one way to find out after all.

[elliexir]

Yeah, guess so.

[ She just gives a shrug. ]

At least it seems kind of weird if it was a trap, like that mouse had no problems yelling at us to come out before, so I dunno why he'd send us a message instead.

[fushuuu]

Yeah. Not that I give a damn about doing what that thing says.

[clenches his fists tight enough to wince]

[1st_response_is_anger]

Well...unless it's not the mouse but someone else. Maybe a flying monkey or some bullshit like that.

[fushuuu]

[his eyes widen--there aren't really flying monkeys, are there?

--surely there are not. even if an adult is saying there might be...]

...

[elliexir]

You know what, after a talking mouse, I think I can buy a flying monkey. Maybe it even wears a gas mask like Calwhatever.

[ Still not bothering to really learn his name. ]

[1st_response_is_anger]

What if it's a giraffe instead. With a gas mask. *This was humorous enough to get her mind off the steady pain in her broken pinkie finger.*

[elliexir]

[ This certainly helps Ellie and her eye, just by a tiny bit. Hope you want to play along, Kaidou. ]

What about a dinosaur with a gas mask? That'd at least be kind of cool.

[fushuuu]

That's silly.

...

...How would it even put it on?

[elliexir]

Maybe it's got another dinosaur buddy to help it, so there's actually two dinos running around here.

[1st_response_is_anger]

Just as long as his buddy isn't a T-rex. *Those little chicken wing arms are adorable.*

[elliexir]

I don't know. A T-Rex is pretty cool. It's a lot cooler than having a mouse around.

[1st_response_is_anger]

Although a T-Rex could eat us. Not a mouse.

[elliexir]

Not if it has a gas mask on, just like that mouse. Then all it can do it just wave its tiny arms around.

[ She demonstrates by folding her arms close to her and just flapping her hands, imitating a t-rex. She laughs at her own dumb joke. ]

[1st_response_is_anger]

*Okay, that is just so stupid, Maria has to laugh.* I don't think it's going to be a big T-rex with a gas mask on.

[elliexir]

[ Ellie seems to be enjoying herself, despite all circumstances. ]

Why not? It sounds super awesome.

[1st_response_is_anger]

How is it going to eat? And who put the mask on a T-rex anyway?

[elliexir]

The same guy who put the mask on a mouse. I don't know, maybe it doesn't eat because it's on a diet.

[1st_response_is_anger]

Or if it's a robot T-rex with a gas mask. Someone just has a thing for gas masks around this place.
