hereyouare | MICE AND MAZES ROOM TWO

[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]

Fine. We've two more to go. Let's get looking.

Ok. Since we already found the one in this room, we should probably go to another room.

[ Suggests-- oh yeah and. ]

It says we need a hand.

.... We'll get someone else's. There's a door but I don't trust it, too obvious. Do you want to stick together or split up?

Someone else's... hand?

[ 8( no... ]

... in this sort of situation, I think it's better to stick together.

Better than one of ours.

[All business mode here. This is too much like Di[e]ce]

I agree though. Sticking together increases our chances of winning and survival. Are you immune to pain?

. . . how about we wait to decide that until we get the rest of the cards?

[ He wanders towards the three holes, kind of bending down to peer through them from a safe distance as he talks. ]

You seem like you've done this kind of thing before, Mr. Sion.

[they are completely dark]

There are bodies outside, they won't need their hands if we want to go that way.

[He approaches the glowing orange hole for his part, cautiously peeking from a distance.]

I have, this is very similar to a game called Di[e]ce. I'll consider you my partner for now, and our objective survival. A time limit is likely in place or some other "lose" condition.

Hmmmm...

[ The masked freak gives a thoughtful hum as he picks up a piece of rubble and chucks it down the hole closest to his right side. ]

We could do that I guess. ... but why do you suppose there are bodies out there in the first place? It's mysterious.

[ Just gonna go ahead and toss rubble down each of those holes to see what happens actually. ]

Failed experiments. A trap. They might be rigged with biological weapons, they might not even be dead.

Ehhhh? Those sorts of things only happen in movies though!

... right?

Wouldn't you call this a situation that only happens in movies?

... creepy mad scientists kidnapping people seems easier to believe than bioweapon zombie traps.

Both seem pretty normal to me. Do you have a lot of mad scientist trouble?

... I don't know if I would say "a lot".

[ Hmmm. Thinks about this. ]

"A moderate amount"?

Is that why the mask?

[ . . . . . ]

It's fashionable~ ☆!

....In what century?

... in the future century?

[ He sounds confused. Did he learn about centuries? Oh well! ]

...Uh huh. Whatever, let's just focus on getting out of here.

Good idea!

[ Quick enough to agree to the subject change. ]

It sounds like there's another room of some kind beyond these holes, but... I can't tell much aside from that.

We can try that way maybe.

[Tries to open the door juuust a peek.]

[if you peek, you'll realize you've stumbled upon a regular looking hallway]

... well this looks safe!

[ Hey yo don't mind him holding onto your shoulders as he leans over to peek out into the hall while you stand in the doorway. ]

[you can hear it clatter against something, but from the sound of it, it doesn't sound deep or anything. just another room.]
