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]

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.]

[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]

[underwearfortomorrow]

Why is this already my fault?!

[Note probably hits him in the face so he will take that and read it over.]

[Uh.]

What is this?

[yokubou]

That's what I'm asking you! I don't recall volunteering for any weird experiments.

[underwearfortomorrow]

Neither did I!

[Looks at the note again.]

I've never heard of anyone named Huey Laforet.

[yokubou]

You better be sure about that, Eiji.

[falling silent a moment, focusing]

I don't sense anything out of the ordinary.

[annnd finally looking around]

What is this place, anyway?

[underwearfortomorrow]

I am!

[It's like he's seeing the room for the first time. He gets up finally and looks around.]

A garden? No it looks more like ...a lab.

[Eiji is going to walk over to the table first.]

[hereyouare]

[The filled flasks are lined up in order, red to purple. There is something inside of yellow, green and purple one.

There are also the seven containers with the plants.]

[yokubou]

Why a lab inside of a garden?

[but screw any of that he's looking at the red one. because red.]

[hereyouare]

[The red liquid is just chillin' like a villain. There's nothing there besides it being...red.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Eiji shrugs and picks up the purple one because purple.]

[hereyouare]

[it looks like there's a cardkey in there!]

[yokubou]

[coming over to peer at that while he's holding it]

Is that one of the card keys?

[underwearfortomorrow]

Ah, it looks like it.

[He frowns thoughtfully. Should he just reach in and grab it? That seems a little too easy. Hm.]

[Gonna tentatively poke at the liquid to make sure it doesn't try to do something like set him on fire. He's not sticking his hand in it yet.]

[hereyouare]

[I hope you're prepared for the liquid to EAT AT YOUR SKIN. Don't leave it in there for too long.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[NO. WE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR ANY SUCH THINGS. THERE IS GOING TO BE A PAINED SHOUT and he is going to drop that jar like it's hot and jump back.]

[hereyouare]

[I hope you didn't splatter that on anyone . . .

Well it'll hit the floor with a loud crash thanks to broken, along with the card. The floor starts dissolving under the liquid.]

[yokubou]

Oi, what are you-

[WELL SOMEONE DIDN'T GET THE MEMO ABOUT THE JAR FULL OF ACID thank you eiji for dropping that like a pro and splattering some on his shoe, which he will quickly be yanking off when he sees the floor melting. shit i did not need: this]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Sorry, too busy assessing the fact that the skin on his finger just fucking burned off. So there are a lot of OW OW OW OW OW's going on over here.]

[yokubou]

[tossing his shoe aside and turning to Eiji, sorry he's pretty much ignoring your ows]

Idiot! You don't just drop something like that!

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Going to hiss vaguely in your direction. It might sound kind of like a "sorry" because he really didn't mean to get it all over the place. Oops.]

[He grabs his scarf and wraps it around his finger because he is probably also bleeding now.]
