ambidex voting #7

[vivariummods]

A M B I D E X  V O T I N G Chop chop, everyone downstairs to the first floor! You're all done the puzzle rooms, so you know what to do. Well, most of you, but it's pretty basic, just enter any Ambidex Room you like (they're not elevators, you ignorant test subjects) then vote! How does voting work? Very simple! Pick Ally or Betray, and that's it! But with every round, there's always some prizes, depending on what you vote, so here's this rounds: For anyone who chooses Ally, well, if your opponent chooses Ally as well, then 2BP for each of you. You get all that friendship, blah blah, whatever. For anyone who chooses Betray, and gets a Betray in return, your BP doesn't change at all, but you do get two cans of food and 15 coins for each person, what, you have a problem with it being the same as last time? We're busy over here, quit your bellyaching. Now, the best part: for anyone who chooses Betray and their opponent chooses Ally, Calhoun will be very generous with his prizes, again! You'll get two cans of food and a memory! We're switching it up a bit. Also, as usual, those who pick Betray get 3BP instead of just 2. But if you're the poor sap that chose Ally and got stabbed in the back, well, sorry, you lose 2 BP. At least you got stabbed for the greater good, right? And plus, you might get a little something. He'll talk to you later about it. But anyway, happy voting! Calhoun will see all of you later with the results. BASIC INFO ✖ VOTES + FORMS ✖ RESULTS + REACTIONS

So it's an excuse to make us run around entertaining him?

[Punching people, though... Well, he supposes that shouldn't be all that surprising, either, given the circumstances.]

There were knives in each of the rooms this round, too. It's like he's trying to suggest something...

the timeloop is complete

[puzzlinglad]

Basically. [Nailed it, Sasuke.] There are prizes, coins and memories, things of that nature. The coins are especially useful, I'm not sure there's any other real way to get them.

[And he glances down. If Akiko hadn't died during these rounds he'd be pretty convinced Calhoun was being rude about her with some of the rooms.] I think... I believe the rooms were set up to be uncomfortable to us when he was threatening us for a show. The Theatre, that certainly was pointed, and the other rooms were all about art and performances, besides the grey door.

[not_that_sasuke]

Memories...

[...So this might just be his first opportunity to get one of those. Coins might be nice too, if only so he could finally get stuff from the store.]

Just what's inside the grey door, anyway?

[puzzlinglad]

Yes, I suppose it would be your first if you got one back, wouldn't it? [You can do it Sasuke, it probably won't be a depressing one either...]

He called it the Morality room, I'm not sure how much I should say but it wasn't like any of the puzzle rooms I've seen here. Mostly it was just questions. [And explosions if you hang out with Jake.] He said he wanted to understand us better when I asked.

[not_that_sasuke]

Yeah, that's right.

[He's... cautiously hopeful? He wouldn't put it past Calhoun to give him something totally useless in terms of memories, but if he can finally learn something solid about himself...]

...Questions? Are they supposed to make us distrust each other?

[Forgive his knee jerk reaction to Calhoun apparently developing an interest in his test subjects.]

[puzzlinglad]

I hope it's a pleasant memory when you get it, or at least a useful one. [Knowing Calhoun anything was possible. He's sad for a moment because remembering the fact Akiko only got half of an awful memory back before biting it. Calhoun sucked so bad.

Anyway, sadsacking is for later, puzzle room gossip is now.]

I don't think that was his aim, though maybe it was. Jake and I had pretty different opinions on the questions but it never got heated... maybe it would in some cases. [He frowns.] If anything they were just progressively more unpleasant to think about.

[not_that_sasuke]

[...? Did he bring up something bad?]

...Either way, questions about morality in a game like this could be tricky. [The entire AB game's set up is a challenge of morals.] Does he have any way to tell if you're lying?

[puzzlinglad]

[No, just the life of sadsacks. And Hershel shakes his head.]

Not that I could tell, no. We didn't even manage to finish the last question completely either and he let us out- likely because he was entertained enough at that point. I don't think the truth matters that much to him there, it's just an excuse to try and get under our skin.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Once again, whatever keeps him entertained, apparently.]

...Well, at least I know what to expect.

[puzzlinglad]

[He's trying to be encouraging now at least.] If for some reason you end up there I'm sure it will be fine. I suppose the best advice I can give is try and keep collected even if the others aren't.

[and an amused look.] I have a feeling that won't be too difficult for you.

[not_that_sasuke]

[...Is that a compliment or...]

How many people are there left who haven't gone in? I know Keyes hasn't, since we've been on the same teams as long as he's been here. Kuzuryuu hasn't either, has he?
