【 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.

[There's a moment of confusion on Colette's end - Akiko looks quite dry, after all - but honestly, that's something to be celebrated. At least one of them isn't soaking wet.]

Mmm, I'm okay, really! But thank you so much. [A soft smile; and it's a lie, of course it is, but Colette isn't able to dump her problems on the poor girl, either.] Did you come through the elevator just now?

Huh? Me? Oh, no! [She waves her hands, as if trying to physically dispel the misunderstanding.] I woke up in one yesterday, though. I think we probably went through the same thing - everyone else said they had to deal with water, too.

[But enough about that! She's already shrugging off her hoodie.] It's not much but... Do you want to borrow this to dry off? It got totally soaked yesterday, and it dried off today - it's got to be pretty clean now!

[The hoodie is off and being held out to her before Colette can manage a protest, not wanting the girl's clothes to get wet again, but...

She is freezing. And at this point, she's worried about coming off as rude.] Are you sure? [Taking it, and with all the gratitude she can fit on her face.]

Thank you. [Very carefully working it over her head] Y'know, I was really nervous before -- [And still is] -- but everyone's been so kind to me here.

[Nodding eagerly!]

I know, right? I was so scared when I first got out of the elevator. I almost died! But everyone came over to help me calm down. After they explained what's going on here, I'm still kind of scared, but...

I think we can trust them. And it sounds like the number one way to get out of here is if we all can trust each other, so it works out!

[Oh no, she's so cute. And Colette giggles at the contagious enthusiasm.]

You're right! We just need to stick together. I'm sure everything will work out for the best.

[She is feeling much, much warmer thanks to the hoodie, too, and gives her arms a stretch over her head -- and then abruptly brings them down with a little gasp]

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't give you my name yet, did I? [Such manners] I'm Colette!

I'm Akiko! It's nice to meet you, Colette!

[She pumps a fist in the air enthusiastically.]

Let's do our best to get out of here together, okay?!

Right! I promise I'll do my best, too!

[YES FRIENDSHIP]

Though before that... [looking around] I guess I should figure out what this place is, first!

Oh, that's actually pretty easy!

This room's like a big ol' warehouse. I'm not really sure what it was for, but... There's plenty of space. There's also a lounge over that way [Pointing!] with a couch and some video games.

They aren't very good, but it's kinda funny how bad they are?

I guess it's nice of them to make sure we have something to do while we're here... [Giving her captors more credit than they're due, probably.]

They're a real blast if you have someone else to play with! ...Buuut they're probably not very interesting on their own. It sounds like a lot of the time we just have to sit around and wait.

Well, if you ever wanna play with someone, Akiko, I can!

I can't promise I'll be very good, though, hehe.

It's okay, I'm super terrible at them too. Hershel and I played some yesterday a little after I got out of my elevator. We both did sooooo bad!

[But judging by the laughter in her voice, it was incredibly entertaining despite everything.]
