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

[ ... Would you like a jacket? Because if she looks like she's shivering, Jake might do a nice thing. ]

Yeah, with the rest of the gang. Probably been here a little over a week now.

[friendofeve]

[She is very definitely shivering, yep. A jacket would be real kind of you right now.]

Longer than a week...

[She tilts her head down, considering this quite fearfully. They had been here for over a week and they haven't found a way out yet. This wasn't like the elevator - this was something much more long term.

And the thought terrifies her.]

--How can they do this to us? [Her voice cracks slightly. It isn't right. It isn't fair.]

[fairsfair]

[ Then fine, he will be a nice guy only for now and give her his jacket (and show off his rad bloody bandaid around his lower arm, he has a thing going on with Heiji and Hershel). Head's up, though, his jacket is... kind of heavy, since it was meant to keep him warm and hold a lot of shit in his pockets. He's just going to drop it over her shoulders, though, without warning so SURPRISE? ]

Better start getting used to it. Might be a while before we get the hell out.

[friendofeve]

[She's so distracted by that bloody bandaid that she's totally unprepared for the coat, even jerking forward a bit from the sheer weight. It's certainly warmer, but-]

Oh my gosh, a-are you okay?

[fairsfair]

[ Take good care of his jacket, okay, it's nice (even if it's ripped because of the knife). ]

What, this? [ Lifting up his hand. ] Can barely feel a thing.

[friendofeve]

[She will, no doubt about that! Though the sight of the wound is still clearly giving her some hesitation.]

Um... Is it okay if I ask--

What happened?

[fairsfair]

[ Jake lowers his hand after. He clearly doesn't seem that bothered by it. ]

Set off some trap in one of the rooms. That rat has way too much time on his hands to try and screw us over in each one.

[ This is a warning, Akiko. Better be careful. ]

[friendofeve]

[...UH.]

W-wait, what do you mean, traps?!

[fairsfair]

Don't know what other way to put it for you: do something wrong and it ends up stabbing you.

[ IT'S SO SIMPLE. He's honestly acting like it's no big deal too. Eh, he probably gets stabbed on a daily basis. ]

[friendofeve]

What do you mean by wrong? Like, put in the wrong answer?

[Because if so, she's as good as dead. The state of her clothes should be evidence enough of how bad she is with these puzzles as it is.]

[fairsfair]

Just about. It's a hell of a lot faster to guess your way through, but don't think my teammates aren't too pleased about that plan.

[ WELP, BETTER BE CAREFUL, THEN ]

[friendofeve]

[...She will take this "advice" to heart.]

I think I'm okay with turning the place upside-down if that means knowing the answer for sure.
