【 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!

I take it you've just arrived. *He cants his head toward the newcomer. It might take her a moment or two to realize he's blind.* I'm Snake. You've just become the latest in a group of us picked for an experiment.

"An experiment?" To tell the truth, that makes more sense to Piper than this nonsense about a game.

She realizes he's blind and instantly begins to wonder how to be most sensitive about that, without, you know, drawing attention to the fact that he can't see. Somehow it gets mixed up in her head that blindness doesn't really affect hearing, and she leans in and whispers "is Snake a nickname for something?"

[personal profile] blind_badass 2014-08-28 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
It is, actually, but for purposes of this game, you can call me Snake. *He refrains from leaning away although it is tempting.* You can also talk to me normally. I can hear perfectly fine, probably better than you.

What have you been told so far so I don't duplicate information you've received.

Sorry! [Whoops, strike one against not being a clueless douchebag. She's sure he'll forgive her, though, after all, he probably gets that a lot. She leans back and talks more normally.]

Um...I'm in a Nonary Game. There are Ambidex Rounds that are basic game theory stuff. We can get our memories back as rewards, although that doesn't make any sense at all.
blind_badass: (conjecture)

[personal profile] blind_badass 2014-08-30 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
We're not sure how it's possible either. However, that part is true. Through non-puzzle related games, we've regained very random memories as rewards. For now, you'd have to infer things about yourself based on what you look like or what you're wearing.

[Piper looks down at her drying prison garb, at the cut on her hand. She picks at her blonde hair.]

Yeah, but none of this I'm wearing right now feels right. [Her eyes widen.] Is this a prison?

[personal profile] blind_badass 2014-09-01 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
We've all been kidnapped to play a giant game at the whims of our captor. In that sense, we are in a prison because we can't escape.
bitchesgotstolearn: (Basic - Srs)

[personal profile] bitchesgotstolearn 2014-09-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Right. He can't see.

Maybe Piper won't quite tell him about the prison uniform.
]

Well, there are some philosophers out there who would argue that our bodies are prisons, so I guess the point is moot.
blind_badass: (Oh really now)

[personal profile] blind_badass 2014-09-03 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
*Oho, someone with ready wit. Snake likes her already.* I prefer to think of my body as a temple but that's neither here nor there.

*He gives her a basic run down of everything, pointing out the bracelet. The only odd thing Piper might note is that Snake's bracelet has an audio function for obvious reasons but non-obvious reasons are Snake seems to be the only person with the bracelet on his right wrist.*
