MICE AND MAZES ROOM TWO

[hereyouare]

[You wake up on a cold metal bed in a room that is unfamiliar to you.

How long have you been out for? Why does your head hurt? Why can't you remember how you got here?

Before you find the answer to these questions, you might want to check out that hand-written note. There's one in every room.

Dear [NAME],

Thank you for volunteering to participate in the experiment. With your help, this project should be quite successful. My name is Huey Laforet, and I am the one responsible for this experiment. I will be here observing and the point of my project will be revealed by the end.

Your goal today is to find the exit. To do so, you'll need three card keys. However, to activate them, you will need the item listed on the card to move forward. You might not be able to find everything by searching, but certainly, there are other ways to get what you need. I've left them scattered about,

If you fail to escape by the time the experiment is over, you will have to participate in further experiments with me. If you succeed, then you will be able to successfully leave the maze.

I wish you luck. Try to stay alive.

-Huey Laforet]

INSTRUCTIONS

[hereyouare]

♦ This is a game where your characters are going to go exploring! If your characters examine something, please wait for me to respond to it! I'll be stalking so don't worry about having to notify me. If you think I missed you (for example, if i haven't tagged you in like 15-20 mins), contact me!

♦ Your characters will need to find three cardkeys. They will have BODYPARTS listed on them. Yes, you are hunting for bodyparts. There should be enough cardkeys for everyone to find, but bodyparts will probably be harder to get just from exploring. Some will be more mild like a clump of hair, but some will be things like a kidney. Once you have them all, you'll be able to look for the escape route.

♦ Each character will have their weapons and items as long as they're not super overpowered. If they're like atomic bomb level or timestopping things, you'll probably lose those. Uniforms are fine as long as they aren't hardcore impenetrable armor. Basically if it's physical and not immortal, it's fine.

♦ Ditto with magical powers! Powers can remain on too. So for example,if you got some regeneration stuff going on, go for it as long as it's like...if you lose an organ, a new one doesn't suddenly pop up. But powers that aren't physical in nature, those might have to get nuked (time-stopping, haste, slowdown, etc etc).

♦ IF YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS OR POWERS, you are allowed to assume that you come with one of each. Things like knives, guns, swords, bow and arrow, etc. Powers can be like fireball, ice blast, etc. etc. Something simple but physical.

♦ HEALING IS OFF.

THE GARDEN

[hereyouare]

[As soon as you sit up, you'll notice that you've been transported into a greenhouse of some sort. While you can still see the plastic white walls that surround the room, most of it is covered in ivy from floor to ceiling.

On the north side of the room, there is a single table that stretches one end to the other, lined with several glass beakers and flasks filled with various liquids, one of each color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. There is also seven jars filled with various plants and unless you're a plant guru, you probably won't know what they are. There might be something inside of these jars, but you'll have to examine them closer.

The east wall has a locker and so does the west.

There is also a door on the south side of the room.]

[yokubou]

[i didn't sign up for this??? too busy scowling at that note to properly look around yet]

Experiments? Who does this guy think he is?

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Too busy sleeping on the floor. Call again later.]

[yokubou]

[why are you on the floor. oh well that makes it easier to jab you in the side with a pointy shoe]

Oi, Eiji, wake up!

[underwearfortomorrow]

[WOW RUDE. Eiji makes an attractive noise and rolls over.]

Argh!

[Wait, what. What the hell is even going on.]

What...?

[yokubou]

Get up already. Did you do something stupid again?

[tossing that note at him]

THE RUBBLE

[hereyouare]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself in a room that looks quite like this.

Dirt and broken rocks litter the floor, making it hard to walk on without some sort of shoes. On the west wall, three open holes are big enough for someone to crawl through, but it's also extremely dark. On the east, there's a large window replacing the wall itself. However, to see what's beyond it, you're gonna have to get real close.

On the north side, there's yet another hole broken through but you can see orange light glowing in.

On the south side, there's a door.

There is also that chair in the middle, covered in dust.]

Re: THE RUBBLE

[kurageuta]

... ah?

[ Reading the note... oh no, science experiment doesn't sound good at all. ]

[ There's another person in the room with him too, but it's rude to wake people when they're sleeping. ]

Hello...?

[ Calls out in case there's anyone there as he wanders towards the window... ]

Re: THE RUBBLE

[restorefromsave]

[Sitting up...]

Hello?

[There's a note but nothing about this situation seems okay.]

Re: THE RUBBLE

[kurageuta]

... AH!!

[ PERSON. ]

Hello! Did I wake you up?

Re: THE RUBBLE

[restorefromsave]

...

[Glancing at the note no no.]

...Who are you?

Re: THE RUBBLE

[kurageuta]

My name is Clear!

It looks like we're in a bit of a bad predicament...

Re: THE RUBBLE

[hereyouare]

[It so is okay.]

Re: THE RUBBLE

[restorefromsave]

[Max non-legit.]

Re: THE RUBBLE

[takewing]

[After she's read the note—and deciding that somebody is going to get his nose broken—Bluebird makes her way over towards that window!]

Hello . . . ?

Re: THE RUBBLE

[hereyouare]

[if you look through the window, you see an expansive sky and down below is a chasm of some sort.

if you've got really good vision, you can see various bodies scattered there. what kind and what the status of those bodies are are a mystery]

THE SWIMMING POOL

[hereyouare]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself inside of an empty indoor swimming pool. You can't really anything above the outer edge, but you can at least examine what's around you. On the floor, there's a lot of grime left with moss starting to grow in patches along the edges. You can see the drain at the very center.

There is a ladder on the left side of the pool and the diving board on the north end of the pool.]

Re: THE SWIMMING POOL

[stungun]

[ JOLTING AWAKE with a gasp. ]

Where — where is this? Hello?

[ She's panicked, clearly.... ]

[depicted]

[Dorian wakes up more slowly. He's a lazy shit like that. He blinks at the ceiling, slowly pushes himself up. Ew, is that grime on his hands? So gross. His face feels the need to express that.

And then there's a voice. Dorian's head turns, takes in the looks of the girl, and then makes himself smile. No need to be a dick to a random teenager.] No idea. Are you all right?

[stungun]

[ She slowly turns to look at him, taking comfort in the fact that he wasn't Takano. But that revelation was horrifying in its own sense. She nods and swallows, then decides to speak again. ]

Yeah. Unless this is... a dream. No... a nightmare?

[ Was she hallucinating? Was that part of Oyashiro-sama's curse? That was supposed to be a lie but. But. ]

[depicted]

In my experience, it's usually more often a nightmare than a dream.

[A+ reassurance, Dorian Gray. He seems to realized that 'resigned antihero' is not actually the best way to respond to a confused young woman, because he he tries to laugh it off.] But I'm sure this will be all right. Uh— [Right, he should get to his feet. When he does so, he introduces himself.] I'm Dorian. If you feel up for it, we should probably use the ladder and head out of here.

[At some point, he'll notice the note.

Probably.

They didn't immortalize him for his observation skills.]

[stungun]

[ She isn't sure whether to answer — her paranoia is returning. Slowly, and subconsciously, but it's there.

But then she gives him a very small smile. ]

I'm Shion. [ She's bouncing back fast, all by pushing her fear to the back of her mind. Who knows whether that will be a good thing or bad?? Well, either way, she's pushing herself to her feet, dusting off her skirt and looking for her weapon. ] I can do it, yeah. I think.

THE MOVIE THEATER

[hereyouare]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself on stage in front of a live audience.

Well, maybe not live.

You do notice that you seem to be in a small theater however. There are about ten rows of five seats. and in each row, there are mannequins sitting in each of them. If you look, you'll even find one that looks like you! That isn't eerie at all.

On the stage, you can find a trapdoor and also a large movie screen.

There's also two doors on each side. One has a sign that says "staff only" and the other says "EXIT".]
