CALHOUN HOUR - Get ready to party!

[vivariummods]

Every third day, there would normally be an Ambidex Round going on, but today, it's different. Calhoun still screeches for everyone to wake up, that will never change, but instead of trying to rush people into a Chromatic Door, he instead splits everyone up into groups. Child Test Subject (Kariya) with Fancy Test Subject (Zelos)! That's Team One. Team Two will have the Nice Test Subject (Hershel), Hat-wearing Test Subject (Akiko), and Ditzy Test Subject (Aoi)! Team Three is the Giant Test Subject (Jake), Also Nice Test Subject (Colette), and the Blind Test Subject (Light)! Finally, the rest will be Team Four, with Tiny Test Subject (Clive), Mean Test Subject (Heiji), and Will-Gladly-Drug-Again Test Subject (Ema). Oh, why is Team One having only two people instead of three? Where is the French Test Subject (Enjorlas)? Well, he got sick too, there must be something going around, so he was also quarantined for this moment, but don't worry, Team One! Calhoun has something up his sleeves for you, so you're not missing out. But anyway, each team needs to go into an AB Room and stay in there. This is going to be a fun game, and anyone who refuses? Well, then he can gladly make those bracelets go off, and then you can have a nice long death. It's up to you, really, but let's make this easy and have fun inside the rooms, okay? Well, he'll see you all soon! BASIC INFO ✖ TEAMS + ROOMS ✖ POST-GAME MINGLE ✖ CALHOUN'S CORNER ✖ GENERAL MINGLE

So my knife's not good enough? Are you collecting frequent stabber miles on this one?

[she takes it though, still holding it gingerly...this seemed a lot easier when it was just hotblooded lack of forethought instead of calculated logic]

...What do you even want to buy, anyway?

[fairsfair]

Yeah, I'm just a few points away from getting my free trip to England.

[ But this is totally better, okay, Jake kind of likes it when it's like this so he can at least kind of prepare. ]

Nothing now, but when I need something in the future, and I know a thing or two about saving money.

But I could ask you the same thing.

[skyentificmethod]

It's sweet of you to want to know what's on my wish list, but don't worry, there's still plenty of shopping days before Christmas.

[fairsfair]

[ Letting out an amused 'heh', before raising his injured arm again, pulling back his sleeves. ]

Then give it a shot. Might as well earn some Coins on the side if I'm going to get stabbed again in here.

[skyentificmethod]

Right.

[swallowing]

...Right.

[she lifts the knife to his arm and...um, aims or something, just triangulating the best location, nothing like hesitating at all gosh]

...Awful stoic about it.

[fairsfair]

[ Just aim for about the same spot, Ema, do it, go for it, he believes in you. ]

I can take a stab or two, especially with a tiny knife like that. Could barely feel a thing the first time.

[skyentificmethod]

Braggart.

...

Okay, I'm going in.

[and an honest to goodness hesitation this time before going for it

...slowly aaahhhh this was a terrible idea]

[fairsfair]

[ .......... WHY IS SHE GOING SLOWLY OF COURSE THAT'S GOING TO HURT MORE he's wincing at that ]

Christ, you're trying to make this as painful as possible, aren't you?

[skyentificmethod]

No--

[o-okay let's go fast then let's jam it in yyyyyup still a terrible idea]

[fairsfair]

[ oh man, why did he have to move when she first tried to stab him, that probably would have been a lot better, but hissing at that a bit. ]

[ Just....... tell him when he's done, okay, he's not moving till it is... ]

[skyentificmethod]

[maybe he should've just done it himself

or maybe no one should have done this maybe that would've been the right choice

that said, we are already on the route to Knife End and since this knife in particular is not ridiculously long, it goes in to the hilt relatively easilyish. ema lets go because her hands are shaking pretty badly and that won't help anyone.]

O-okay? Are you okay?

[barring the whole being stabbed thing of course]

[fairsfair]

[ This is legit the worst idea either one of them had in this game, and they've done a bunch of stupid things, so this is saying something. ]

[ But Jake will slowly lower his arm so he can take a better look at the damage. Well... not that bad. It looks and feels like she... got the general area again, so hey, there's that (plus, he had his sleeve drawn back so no more cuts in his clothes). ]

Yeah, as fine as I can ever be, but you should be more worried about yourself. You can probably cheat a pedometer a couple hundred steps with those hands.

[ Is that bad joke good enough to tell you that he's okay and to make her feel better ]

[skyentificmethod]

[yes, wiser decisions have been made, even by these two...but most certainly not today.]

[she immediately wraps her arms around her body so that they are less conspicuous, not even groaning at his joke]

Sorry...

Look--stay here, I'll...go get Calhoun. And a bandage or something.

[fairsfair]

[ Is this going to scar Ema... Because those 200 Coins don't seem that great anymore. ]

[ But sure, he'll just nod and lower his arm completely down then. He'll just wait for her, and give her some space. ]

Yeah, I'm not heading anywhere.

[ Take your time too, because this isn't really bothering Jake that much. He's not a wimp like Hershel. ]

[skyentificmethod]

[wow, who said 200?? ...but it probably won't scar any more than anything else... and it's not as though he hasn't got other scars to match...

anyway, deep breath, standing up straight, and she is off to get money! like a good person who stabs folks for cash :|b

also, no stabbing Hershel, he would cry]

[fairsfair]

[ It should have been the other way around, Jake stabbing Ema so then they can get matching cool scars. She can get a long one down her face too. ]

[ No, he has to stab Hershel to teach him how to get used to it. Tears are for the weak...! ]

[skyentificmethod]

[Pass on the face scar (she'd need a whole new ID photo!)

And Hershel is p weak and there would be lots of tears and it would be terribly awkward so let's just avoid that.

Anyway, at length Ema returns, and tosses a pouch of coins onto the table with the sort of satisfying jingling noise cash just doesn't make

(...just imagine there is a table okay it seemed like a good idea)]

[fairsfair]

[ Psh, what ID photo? Jake probably doesn't even have one, and he will rip out Hershel's eye ducts so they can avoid awkward crying. ]

[ Let's say they're in the lounge or caf, there are tables there, that probably works (Jake gets tired/hungry after getting stabbed). The knife is clearly still in him, but eh, he'll work on it later when he's in the washroom. ]

Guessing that's my share for this mess.

[skyentificmethod]

[um, duh, for the Court Record? How else will players remember who you are? Also let's avoid ripping out any eye-related anything please, this is not a Clamp show]

[and cafeteria, then; she sits across from him like she was invited (which technically she was not, but 65 coins can open some doors she figures)]

Plus a tip for good behavior.

...Might need a different coin-earning strategy for next time, though.

[fairsfair]

[ Hey, Joe Darke only had a silhouette for his Court Record pic. She can do the same and don't be such a pansy, let's totally rip out some eye-related stuff. Eye would love to see it happen. ]

Aren't you generous.

[ Taking the bag and just casually going to count those coins, using the hand that didn't have a stabbed forearm. He'll still keep talking and looking up from the bag while he counts, but Jake is totally that guy who looks the gift horse in the mouth. ]


You think? And here I was getting ready to become a human pin cushion so we can start cashing in coins that way from now on.

[ Back to sarcastic asshat, even with the knife in him. ]

[skyentificmethod]

[HOLD IT this is not the time to speak of crime and punishment. Anyway, two eyes are necessary for magic eye books and 3D movies so just give it up okay]

I wouldn't put it past you, and I wouldn't put it past the rat.

...Shall we take that thing out? I know you're attached and all.

[fairsfair]

[ OBJECTION no one cares about magic eye books and 3D movies, they are overrated. ]

I'd wait till I go to the washroom, unless you want me to get blood all over the "delicious" meals they have here.

[skyentificmethod]

[OBJECTION the only people who don't care are the people who can't see them. Are you implying you are crosseyed? Which is totally fine but it's still nice to have two of them]

Might actually give them some flavor. But the question still stands.

[fairsfair]

[ HOLD IT you have no evidence to prove that statement. Provide it to the court or you'll be suffering a penalty ]

After seeing how "great" of a job you did trying to put it in, I think I'll choose to take it out on my own.

[skyentificmethod]

[Of course I have evidence! It's...um... LOOK OVER THERE A THREE-HEADED MONKEY]

Hey, cut me some slack, it was my first time! I've got experience taking them out.
