A Graveyard Smash  



Happy Halloween Vivarium!

The day will start not with Calhoun, thankfully, but with Monster Mash playing. Well, that's cute. That's what you might think if it didn't play again immediately afterwards. Then again. And again. It won't stop all day, enjoy.

Anyone who goes to the first floor warehouse will be greeted by the entire room decked out in the cheapest, cheesiest Halloween decorations available- plastic bats that vibrate angrily, ghosts that make obnoxious sounds and lights when passed, orange and black streamers every five feet.

Calhoun is sitting at his equally decked out shop, dressed in a little witch outfit. When anyone approaches he'll seem pretty upbeat.

"Happy Halloween, Test Subjects! I figured you sorry lot would enjoy a little festivity, so here you go! Don't say I don't do anything for you ungrateful subjects."

"I have a little gift for you too! Seeing as it's Halloween and all, I thought hey, why not play a little trick or treat? In this case with memories! So here's the deal, everyone gets a free memory, but I'm gonna guarantee you here it's going to be a spoooooooky one!"

He cackles. "Of course that can mean a loooooot of things, huh? Your choice! Just go through door number one over here-" He gestures to the door always used when people are taken away for memories. "-or just sit back and enjoy! Boy, it sure will be interesting to see what people pick! I'm on the edge of my seat here."

Shockingly he isn't.

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 might get some coins for your trouble, let's saaaay, 20? Generous, I know.

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 15 coins and a memory! 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.

CALHOUN HOUR - SURVIVOR  




At the crack of dawn, presumably, Calhoun gathers everyone in the first floor warehouse to make an announcement.

"That's right, it's time for another of my special events!" He seems pretty pleased with himself. "I noticed you lazy, fat test subjects really let yourselves go last round! It's like I don't feed you here or something."

"Well, I'm worried about your health, always lazing about and not getting proper exercise. So, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world, and so we're going to do something a littttttttllllllle different this time."

"To stop you guys from getting soft from all the fun you're having here, it's time for a little workout."

From one of the doors Calhoun never lets anyone go through there's a loud, metallic banging sound repeating, as if something is trying to get out. Calhoun does not seem troubled at all by this. In fact, he seems pretty excited.

"The rules are simple, everyone's getting sixty coins to use as they see fit. You'll notice the vending machines on both warehouse floors. Anyone who isn't caught will even get a memory back." But what does that mean?

"So go on, survive for 23 hours, I'll even give you a five minute head start. Good luck!"

And with that he scurries off. Should people hang around they'll get to witness that same door open five minutes later. From the door comes several figures, human in shape but something is very, very wrong.

They seem to be robotic, skeletal humans. At one point they must have had some synthetic skin over them but most of it seems to be melting or ripped off. They don't move very fast, mostly they shamble about until they focus on a target. Better hope it's not you!

The Wounded Detective  
Sometime after the cooking event, Heiji was hanging out in the kitchen area, tugging a little at his collar. Didn't it seem a little hot in here? Maybe he was coming down with something...

CALHOUN HOUR - COOKING  




When everyone wakes up Calhoun is there, cheerfully directing everyone to follow him. Doing so will reveal the second story warehouse has changed quite a bit, for now at least, because guess what friends! It's time for another Calhoun Hour.

The once empty floor is now filled with what looks like work stations for... cooking? There are ovens, stove tops, pots, pans, anything you'd really need to make all sorts of things. On top of that there are ingredients of all types, it probably looks heavenly after weeks of gruel and low tier food, doesn't it?

"Welcome test subjects! I've heard a lot of complaints about the cooking here, and I thought hey! Do those lazy, good for nothing test subjects think they can do better? Well, I guess we'll find out, won't we? We're having a little contest!"

"The rules are simple- make five dishes, and whoever has the best may win a little prize. Heck, I'm generous, so anyone who makes five dishes might get a special prize too!"

"But no eating the ingredients or stealing my stuff! Sure, whatever, fine, you can eat the finished dishes, mug someone for theirs, etc, but not the ingredients!! Anyone's who's a good little test subject and follows my rules may find themselves getting a new pair of clothes because, let's face it, some of you are getting... well, let's just say everyone's going to be the winner if you change those smelly rags."

Calhoun claps his paws. "Well, get to it!" And dashes off. He can be found in his own little workstation, generously handing out ingredients and supplies if needed, heckling if not needed.

Hey, it's something to do, right? Might as well get on it while the getting is good.

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.

say hello to our new arrivals, and goodbye to the departing

day 23

Hello newcomers, 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 "newly-become-old-timers", come meet your new fellow test subjects. You haven't had more than one person arrive in a long while, so what a surprise! This also means that there are two elevators that you can jump into and have a nice, long, cold bath in! How generous of Calhoun.
