the garden

[vivariummods]

T H E  G A R D E N Early in the morning, yet again, the test subjects get to wake up to Calhoun’s dulcet tones. Through a megaphone. “Hey! Lazy test subjects, get your human rears up!” Once everyone is moderately awake and gathered, Calhoun will continue. “You all did such a great job last round, and everyone’s been so pathetic lately, that I, your glorious, merciful host, decided to open a room for you! Remember, rooms are a privilege, not a right! That means!” He takes a deep breath to scream out the next parts: “Don’t. Break. My. Stuff!!” He eyes at a few people in the crowd before leading everyone up to the second floor, where a new door will now be openable. Once inside there is a surprisingly refreshing breeze and bright light flooding from the ceiling. Welcome to the Garden! The roof of the garden is made up of what appears to be grids with screens depicting a blue sky during daylight hours and a starry night during the evening (they must be sunlamps because the light from the ceiling feels warm and, yes, finally some vitamin D for you sad test subjects). It appears to be more of a dome than anything else, but the grass is green, there’s a few trees around, some flowers, a bench here and there, and even a little waterfall that creates a small creek around the garden! Sure, there aren’t any edible plants, fruits, or vegetables around, the water is freezing, everything feels almost artificial, but this is a lot better than the cold, monochrome, and bleak look of the warehouse so far, so unless everyone else wanted to stay in the boring lobby instead of here, there wasn’t much to complain about. Well, have fun! Enjoy your new surroundings. basic info ✖ mingle

[Zelos sees you, Jake. Zelos sees you, and he's not happy. Not happy enough to actively engage with Jake, which is pretty impressive, because Jake is currently at the top of his "avoid at all costs" list.]

The hell do you think you're doing?

[That water was for everyone, bro. Not cool.]

[fairsfair]

[ Jake will just look over his shoulder, then go back to washing his shirt. ]

What does it look like I'm doing?

[cursedchosen]

[The actual answer is "being an uncultured oaf" but Zelos would like to avoid getting punched today.]

Trying to poison the rest of us.

[GOD IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THEY DON'T GET YOUR OAF COOTIES.]

[fairsfair]

[ If he wants to get punched by Jake again, though, that's completely fine with him. ]

I wouldn't trust drinking water from here in the first place, so you're fine.

[ YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS WATER HAS BEEN like in jake's jacket ]

[cursedchosen]

[YEAH AND WHO KNOWS WHERE JAKE'S JACKET HAS BEEN. WHO WOULD EVEN WANT TO KNOW.]

Yeah, and we don't know where the water goes, so take your goddamn filth rag out of it.

[It could go to the cafeteria, for all they know.]

[fairsfair]

[ UM HIS JACKET IS JUST FINE THANK YOU BETTER THAN YOUR DISGUSTING FACE ]

Then you can let me know when you find out.

[ Nope, still washing it. Honestly, he would have if someone else told him, but it's Zelos so he's now doing it out of spite. ]
