THE HEART OF THE MATTER
| Sometime early in the morning (or at least what feels like it, considering that there aren’t any clocks around), Calhoun will scream into a megaphone to wake everyone up. He won’t explain what’s going on, but he will say that he has a surprise for everyone. What is it? Well, they won’t know until they get up! So, everyone line up by the hallway’s door! He’ll be calling everyone into a “☆ SECRET ROOM ☆” one by one, and spending a few minutes with them. In this room, it’ll be nothing but a table, two chairs, a metal cabinet, and a lone lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. Anyone who’s seen enough cop shows will notice that this is an interrogation room. Granted, there’s a sleeping pod in the corner of the room (rather similar to the same device that returns memories) and this room is a pretty fictional interrogation room as the real things aren't so hardboiled, but Calhoun is a fan of cop dramas and he only has so much power, so this is what he went for. Anyway, in here, Calhoun will do one of two things: 1) Reveal an unpleasant secret about them. Of course, it might sound fictional at first, but then he’ll go into his little cabinet and pull out a folder to back up his claims. These reports don’t look fake, and well, just think of what the others might think if they heard of this. Sure, you can deny it all you want, but what about your fellow test subjects? How can they ever see you in the same light again? Even if you attempt to convince them otherwise, this will forever linger in the back of their minds. They might even start turning against you, and while Calhoun’s a pretty nice mouse, he can’t do anything to stop you silly test subjects from doing something dramatic. 2) Grant them the fragment of a memory. What a kind mouse Calhoun is being, giving you a freebie! They’ll be placed in a pod, as per the usual, and given part of a memory. The problem is this freebie cuts off at the worst possible time, and any begging, threats or inquiries into the matter are only going to be met by Calhoun’s snickers. It would be awful if something happened and you could never find out if your dear friend Timmy ever got out of that well, right? A real tragedy. Oh well, too bad for you, buddy. Once Calhoun has called everyone one by one into this “☆ SECRET ROOM ☆” of his, he will gather all the test subjects up, stand on counter of Calhoun’s Corner and make an announcement. “Listen up, test subjects! While yesterday’s round of Bingo was all fun and games, it’s time to spice things up around here! This is starting to get really bland, like oatmeal bland, and my Master has given me the go ahead to shake things up.” “Some of you, I've told you a dark, spooky secret, while for the rest, I've shown you a little memory! Who got what, though, no one knows! But you know who you are and you know what you have to lose.” “So what was the point of all this? Welllllll, like I've said, it’s so boring here, that I’m giving you the chance to redeem yourselves of this sinful dullness. How, you wonder?” “Give me a show.” “I think you all know me well by now, what entertains me and what I like to see. So, give me the performance of a lifetime by the end of the next AB Voting round! Of course sooner is better, because you never know if I’m gonna like these plans of yours, but go ahead, take your time! I mean it’s not like there’s much I can do, excepppppt…” “I can just reveal those little secrets of yours to everyone! Don’t think you can just shrug it off as something I've made up too. I’ll spread out those reports and all the evidence for everyone to see, and we’ll see how long it takes for them to turn on you.” “And those with a memory, don’t sigh in relief, because you’re not safe either! I’ll ensure that you will never get the rest of that memory I showed you. You can wonder for the rest of your lives what really happened. If you think it’ll be as simple as just asking around when you get out, think again. You’ll never know the whole truth unless you remember it yourself, since this mouse can get his paws in the outside world’s evidence.” “What if one of you manages to entertain me? Well, not only will you get your full memory back, but everyone’s memories and secrets will be safe! They won’t be getting anything back, but maybe one day, and you’re the one who did all the work, those ungrateful cads!” “Well, I think that’s about it. Toodles! You know where to find me if you have any questions or love letters for me.” He winks at the crowd (looking at you, Zelos), then hops off the counter, back into the safety of his shop. |
it's cool we all have those days OTL
Dunno. But it doesn't look like the rat really gave us a choice. [As far as Zelos was concerned, he'd be happy never getting another memory. As much as he wanted to know what happened to his sister (?), he hadn't exactly had great luck with memories so far, and he didn't expect that to change. But, the little piece-of-shit probably wouldn't back down if he didn't get a show, and he didn't want to see what he came up with next.]
precious selos...
please don't ship zelos with his sister...
He probably set all this up because he's sick of everyone voting ally.
oh no unintentional horrible typo ship name.....
[He sighs.] The problem is he clearly will only be happy with violence or betrayal as a show, as much as I wish something else could satisfy him.

But we're gonna have to set up something if we want Calhoun to fuck off.

I just wish I could think of something, it's rather hard to think of ideas when there's so much clouding your head. [He pauses, as if suddenly thinking of something then...] Maybe a puzzle would help, would you like to hear one, Mr. Wilder?
[I gd told you I'd do it.]
I'M SO GLAD I
[What about this situation made this guy think of puzzles?]
Whatever, sure. Have at.
this is all i ever wanted
Three people are playing Memory, a game in which you match cards and whoever has the most pairs wins. There are a total of 20 cards and 10 pairs.
Person A said: I matched ten pairs in a row from the start!
Person B said: I matched nine pairs in a row from the start!
Person C said: I matched eight pairs in a row from the start!
One of the players is lying, who is it?
me too
It's Person B, right?
[He actually look a little proud that he managed to get the answer. Must've been one of his secret skills or something.]

[Yeah what a murder puzzle game needs are more gd puzzles.] You got that quickly, I'm glad you're good at these, given the skillset Zero seems to force on us.
no subject
[It's only natural. But that did bring up a good point.]
I wonder what Zero's thing is with puzzles, anyway.
no subject
He does look thoughtful at that question though.] It is rather strange, I suppose it has to do with the experiment this game is supposed to be, like he's testing us. Still, the more time goes on the more I doubt the legitimacy of this 'experiment' they keep mentioning.
