welcome our new test subjects and say goodbye to old ones...

[vivariummods]

T H E  W A R E H O U S E 【 day 10 】 To all the newcomers, welcome to the 【 Warehouse 】. Once you escape your elevator, you will find yourselves here. It's strangely empty for a warehouse. Aside from the elevators you've come out of, there's nothing else here. In fact, the longer you look around, the stranger everything looks. Every window has been bolted shut, with no way of removing the steel coverings. The only source of illumination comes from the florescent lights above. Along the walls are numerous amounts of surveillance cameras, watching every bit of movement and listening to the sounds of everyone and everything. Every door is locked up tight, with no clear way of opening them, and there's one giant door with a 9 painted on it. It's a rather strange place, and there seems to be a lot of people here, so go introduce yourselves? As for the "old timers", they will find that their bracelets will not display any colour or status (SOLO or PAIR). The BP will be a simple grey colour, and there will be nothing underneath it. Wonder what they means. Before anyone can ask Calhoun, he will be screeching in your ear about something else, asking everyone to gather in the warehouse. Standing on a table (in an attempt to be at the same height as a few of you), he says that there's a special surprise for everyone. So, gather around, test subjects, and listen closely because he's not going to say it again. 【 day 11 】 Everyone might wake up today to the loud sound of... sirens? What on Earth can make a sound like that? Well, if they get up and look, they'll see Calhoun with... one of these, and him attempting to put Kotetsu on the stretcher. Due to being a 3'2" sized mouse, he's clearly struggling but he's at least determined to put him on it. ANNOUNCEMENT ✖ NEW ARRIVALS ✖ GOODBYE ✖ NEW ARRIVAL

[NO ONE NEEDS TO BE STABBED BY YOU IN SPACE, JAKE, GIVE UP THAT DREAM IMMEDIATELY OR YOU'RE ARRESTED]

[welcome to your new life, this is what you get now that he's more comfortable around you, you lucky dog.]

I think several people here would have paid to see that. [maybe even in real money, think about it jake] I wonder if Calhoun has extras- you know, backups if something did happen to him?

[fairsfair]

[ DON'T LIE, YOU TOTALLY WANT TO BE STABBED IN SPACE BUT THE EVERYONE STABBER ]

Wouldn't surprise me if he did, or had other rat pals to replace him.

[ And now jumping in the water, hope you like being splashed with cold water oh shit that's fucking cold ]

[puzzlinglad]

[NO HE'S OK HE'LL JUST TAKE NOT BEING STABBED, MAYBE NOT GETTING BARRELS BLOWN UP NEXT TO HIM, THINGS LIKE THAT]

[Hershel tries to lean back away from the splash, fails, and sighs as he plucks at his now damp vest.] Sometimes I wonder if you notice other people exist around you, Jake. [What a shitlord this kid is.]

[He kind of glances around, still unsure about this whole you know. Improper thing. There didn't seem to be too many people mulling about so he finally gives up and sort of hops over to the other open room which I'm assuming is probably next to it. He undresses to his boxers as quickly and awkwardly as possible and slips in which oh my god you're right this is freezing. He hoped his stupid bandaging wouldn't bloody the water up too much, sorry whoever was going in next.]

[When his head does emerge he can't see anything because his absolutely ridiculous hair is now plastered over his eyes in a big, damp, puffy mess. This is an actual picture of the event in question.]

I-it's kind of c-cold. [Thanks Calhoun. Thanks.]

[fairsfair]

[ HOW ABOUT BEING KIDNAPPED AND HELD IN CHINA FOR 6 MONTHS IN NOTHING BUT A POORLY SEWN TOGETHER BEDSHEET ]

[ Jake is a cool kid and he's propped up against the edge of the open hatch, arms up so he can support himself. He does not want to tread water right now, but looking over in Hershel's direction and... laughing, literally just laughing. ]

Nice hair.

[ In between laughs because your hair is ridiculous. ]

[puzzlinglad]

[YEAH HE'LL PASS, SHOCKINGLY HE'S NOT ALL INTO THAT SORT OF THING.]

[At first Hershel doesn't know what is going on, so he pulls himself up a bit as best he can and uses his free hand to mop back his ridiculous, stupid hair and hold it there.]

[... and Jake was laughing at him. How. Rude. Jake laughing at all was weird, of course he'd decide to laugh at this. It was probably a good thing, at least.]

Oh come on, it's not that bad- [When he releases his hair it flops right back over his eyes while a small tuft of it sort of stick awkwardly up where he had been holding it.] ... maybe Ema was right about a haircut or something. [He can't help a little amusement, sue him]

[fairsfair]

[ BUT HE'LL LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS SHERRY IN THAT OUTFIT... ]

[ Jake's still laughing, especially when Hershel's hair comes right back down in front of his eyes. He has a really loud laugh too... ]

Or maybe you can just shave it all off. It'll make your life a hell of a lot easier.

[ Be like Jake, it's great. ]

[puzzlinglad]

[I DON'T THINK HE'D BE ABLE TO TAKE GIANT STABS TO THE BACK AS WELL THOUGH]

[How dare you suggest such a thing. Hershel's still a little shocked Jake's laughing at all, but fixes him with a dry look.]

What would I even use to do something like that, the knife from the doll? [Which he doesn't have anymore, probably gave it to Heiji he doesn't want that thing.] I think I'll deal with.... this. [His hair flops into his face again as he brushes it back and he sighs, dunking himself underwater again, what a life.]

[fairsfair]

[ ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT... JAKE HAS THIS NEW HUNTING KNIFE HE JUST GOT ]

[ It's okay, keep trying to dunk yourself underwater, Jake will keep making fun of you whenever you come back up. Ahhh, the nice thing about not having to wash your hair. ]

Was thinking we could put those scissors to good us, and then the knife to finish it off.

[puzzlinglad]

[NO WASN'T STABBING HIM ONCE ENOUGH TO PROVE HE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE IT WELL]

[When he emerges he doesn't bother messing with his hair because he accepts this is it, this is his life, he's the drowned sheepdog. Besides being freezing the water's kind of nice though, baths sure were a thing he missed.]

No offense Jake, but I sincerely doubt you have barber skills enough to shave someone's head with those knives. Being scalped isn't on the top of my list of ways I want this game to end.

[fairsfair]

[ NO, THAT WAS DIFFERENT, HE WAS STABBED IN THE ARM. WE NEED TO TRY OUT THE BACK NOW ]

I don't have any memories of it, but I'm pretty sure I can do a pretty decent job at it. If you haven't noticed, I have a pretty shaven head, and like hell I'm going to pay someone to do it, so I probably did it myself.

[ He's a cheapass. ]

[puzzlinglad]

[WHY WOULD THE BACK BE ANY DIFFERENT EXACTLY]

[Hershel pushes his hair back, giving Jake a curious look. Wow, jake was a cheap bastard, who knew... You learn new things about your buddies every day!]

Do you really think you'd have enough skill to do it with a tiny knife, though? And no shaving cream?

[fairsfair]

[ BECAUSE WHY NOT? DON'T HOLD BACK ON ME. DON'T BACK OUT LIKE A WIMP ]

Never know until we try, right? We can give it a shot after this.

[puzzlinglad]

[STOP WITH THE PUNS YOU'RE THE WORST]

Why am I filled with a sense of trepidation at this. [dry] You know at this rate your hair's going to grow out, you should worry more about that.

[fairsfair]

[ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, PUNISH ME? ]

At least it won't turn out like your 'fro. I think I'll need about a decade to turn into a tree-head like you.

[ Nope, let's keep the topic on your ridiculous hair, Hershel. 8) ]

[puzzlinglad]

[QUITS VIVARIUM AND GOES TO LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN]

Tree-head, really Jake... [how dare you talk about his beautiful hair like that.] For all we know you have much fuller, unreasonable hair, you know. Maybe that's why you shave it.

[He can dream]

[fairsfair]

[ ARE YOU GOING TO MOUNT YOURSELF THERE? ]

Yeah, because I look like the type to grow beautiful locks of hair. Pretty sure I shave it off because it's a pain in the ass to take care of, and gets in the way. Don't really want to waste my time taking care of it.

[puzzlinglad]

[NEVERMIND QUITTING THE ENTIRE WORLD AND LIVING IN SPACE.]

You never know- you should grow it out and see. [He sounds kind of pumped about this idea, he was curious to see it.] Besides, it'll keep your head warmer, I suppose?

[fairsfair]

[ I GUESS YOU NEEDED YOUR SPACE ]

Thanks, but no thanks. I know you're excited about my hair, but I don't need one more worry here. If you haven't noticed, we don't exactly have shampoo here.

[ At least not with Calhoun's Corner coming just yet. ]

[puzzlinglad]

[BURROWS TO THE CENTER OF THE EART]

[he frowns] Ah, true... the soap in the bathrooms doesn't really do much, does it? [And his hair was gross. He sighs.] That's a shame, I would have loved to see that. Maybe you have curly hair, or straight- it's sort of a mystery, isn't it?

[fairsfair]

[ GUESS YOU'RE A PRETTY DOWN TO EARTH KIND OF GUY, HUH? ]

One we're never going to solve, since I'm planning on keeping it this way.

But getting used to the freezing water over there yet?
