【 day 16 - 4:00AM 】
For all "old-timers" and "somewhat-old-timers", it'll be another typical night sleeping on the warehouse floor. It's not great, but perhaps you're getting used to it now. Maybe you're just making due. Maybe some of you are in a deep sleep because you've adapted. Whatever it is, you will be rudely waken up by... the sound of sirens?
A sense of deja-vu might run through you as you wake up and look at what's going on. Right in the middle of the warehouse, Calhoun is wearing a bike helmet on top of his gas mask, and standing next to one of these.
Well, standing isn't exactly the right word for it. Struggling to pick up Kariya and onto the stretcher is more accurate...
【 day 17 】
To the newcomer, welcome to the 【 Warehouse 】.
Once you escape your elevator, you will find yourself 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?
For the "old-timers" and "somewhat-old-timers", come meet your new fellow test subject and, oh, look! You can take another bath with that elevator open! Isn't Calhoun such a nice mouse, letting you bathe?
【 day 18 】
A M B I D E X R O U N D
After those two busy days, it'll be nice to sleep in, right? Well, too bad you're all test subjects, it's time to wake up! Itttttt's time for another Ambidexxxxxxx Round!!
Oh, but where is it going to take place this time? Not on this floor, that's for sure. Everyone, head out to the hallway, line up in front of the elevator! We're heading up to the second floor of our warehouse! Amazing, right? Who would have thought you would stick around long enough to see the second floor, huh?
The elevator, that was once non-functioning, turns on and allows everyone to head to the second floor. How many floors are there? It's unknown, as all the buttons are hidden under a single large metal sheet, asides from 'L2'. Well, don't worry about that, welcome to the next level. It looks identically to the first floor, asides from a few differences:
There are no Ambidex Rooms on this floor, nor is there Calhoun's shop in the corner. However, to make up for that, there seems to be four coloured doors, rather than three: Red, Blue, Green, and Grey. Yes, that's right, Calhoun has decided to add a fourth Ambidex Door, just to accommodate the new number of people. So, look down at your bracelets, you'll see what teams you're in.
The rules are the same: Go in, solve the puzzles, come out, vote! It's as simple as that, so line up in front of your doors, he doesn't have all day.
Oh, speaking of days... Before everyone enters, Calhoun will start to snicker uncontrollably. He hopes you haven't forgotten what today is?
It's the last day to give him a proper "show".
So far, all we've gotten were two lousy attempts at a show:
Some fake drama, hosted by the Blind-And-Dumb Test Subject (Snake) and Should-Probably-Drug-Again Test Subject (Ema)? Talk about yawn. You two get a 1/10. Half a point for getting two dumb teenagers all riled up about it, and another half a point for some form of effort.
The other was some sword fight by the Needs-A-Haircut Test Subject (Hershel) and Probably-Hiding-A-Bald-Spot (Heiji) in the lounge. Not as boring, but sheesh! Do you really think just something like that will entertain him? You didn't go in there with the proper intent of hurting each other, just some practise! Most of all, you've destroy Charlie, Calhoun's pot plant, so you only get a 4/10. Better than the other show, but not good enough!
And that's it, only two dumb shows. It looks like you guys really don't care about your secrets or memories. Maybe he should just end the contest here early and get this over with. He'll just reveal your secrets, destroy your memories, and get this over with. You clearly aren't bothered by it, so why keep this up any longer?
But you know what, Calhoun's a nice mouse. He believes in second chances, so he'll give you all until tomorrow morning, 6AM, to come up with something, or you can all say goodbye to everything!
Chao!

no subject
[She has to look at Piper a bit admiringly, seeing that indeed, she doesn't seem to be all that soaked.] You're already doing better than I was! I got totally drenched. I guess I just wasn't fast enough!
[Ahahaha... oops?]
no subject
[Piper does preen a little bit.] Well, I'm just good at puzzles, I guess.
[Which is a good thing to know about herself, especially if she knows nothing else.]
no subject
Um, Calhoun seems to have... robot-y parts? But I don't think anyone's ever seen the real Zero. Mostly, it's the door that keeps us stuck.
[She casts a glance at the heavy 9 door before turning to Piper again.]
That's really good, though! After this, there's even more puzzle rooms. You have to solve them to escape, but you get to do them in groups. If you're good at solving them, they should be a piece of cake for you! [And... hopefully that meant Piper would be more useful to have around than Akiko, haa...]
no subject
[A little more preening.] Well, you know, if we're in a group together then I can help you along. I'm not a professional puzzle-solver or anything, but I have a natural sort of knack.
no subject
I don't think so? I mean, it's sorta hard to say, since nobody really remembers. But nobody here looks like a city contractor or anything.
[Then again it's hard to say she knows exactly what a city contractor looks like to begin with, but...]
That's good, though! I don't know when it'll happen, but I'm sure we'll end up in a team sooner or later. I look forwards to working with you!
no subject
You too.
no subject
[You know. As far as normal memory loss goes.]
no subject
Maybe you're someone who has the same first name as surname. Or...maybe you're a pop star whose first name speaks for itself. Like Madonna or Robyn.
no subject
Heheheh, yeah, maybe! Like, what if I'm actually a super famous idol or something?
[She kinda doubts it, but it's a fun idea at least.]
no subject
[Piper blinks.]
Ohhh, is that what they call pop stars in- is that another term for them?
no subject
[Hmmm...]
Maybe it's just a Japanese thing? At least, I'm pretty sure that's where I'm from...
no subject
[Piper mouths "'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'".]
no subject
Then I'll try not to assume anything about you, either!
[...Though really, the blonde hair has her thinking American or English... but she won't say as much, at least.]
