MESS HALL

[soulping]

You step into a large, spacious cafeteria. Seriously, it is huge, with tables lined up in rows pushed up against every wall. This area could easily seat hundreds of people. Maybe even a thousand.

There's a squished pear sitting in the middle of the room, too. Thanks Henwen.

There's a door on the other end of the room, but weirdly enough, it's already open! And a group of people dressed similarly to yourself are slowly beginning to shuffle through it. . .

((THE GROUPS ARE NOW TOGETHER please feel free to mingle with each other!))

That guy seems to think we're being experimented on. Which I said was obvious because, y'know, hospital garb. But he thinks the whole escape and run from the insurgents thing is an experiment in and of itself.

[purrtylittlewires]

Oh yes. Can't you see how well I resemble my comrades?

...did you guys push the button to drop the innie elevator?

[robitussin]

Look, a tentacle monster tried to kill us twice, one of our group turned into a seven year old, and we're carrying a talking daffodil that now refuses to call itself anything but Audrey II. It's been a long day and I don't have time for your shitty jokes.

[carptricks]

[this guy's says Willy B. Hardigan]

Neither we were, and they were really acting suspicious near the end, there.

[soulping]

Whoa.

It's another giant talking daffodil.

"HEY, ASSHOLE!"

[carptricks]

Yyyep.

With no memories to speak of.

[raps his knuckles against the side of his head]

[robitussin]

Well that sucks. Thanks for not murdering us because you were supposed to think we were terrorists, I guess.

[femmefailtale]

That you're asking that implies you had one too.

And that you didn't push it.

But no, we didn't.

[purrtylittlewires]

It is pretty big.

Gotta wonder why they have a facility this big that they can just shut down for a while.

[soulping]

Wait.

Wait.

What.

BROTHER??

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT, DOUCHEBAG?"

[friskmanagement]

[You frown. Everybody is really hung up on this for some reason.]

I'm not that young.

[she_tried]

Control has hardly been the most reliable. This whole 'insurgent' thing seems to have just been a game to them.

[justichthys]

Then why are you saying it?!

[carptricks]

I wouldn't-- [h-hfffs]

I guess. . . I should thank you guys for not killing us, either?

[she_tried]

Isn't that a coincidence.

[femmefailtale]

Right. New plan, then: we find control, and we give them a wedige.

[friskmanagement]

[... ... ... you don't get it.]

Did they try to get you to drop someone too?

[carptricks]

Because Control used it. Whoever-- whatever-- Control is.

[GESTURES AT. EVERYTHING]

This was s'posed to be the loading zone, but it just looks like a cafeteria.

[purrtylittlewires]

We didn't. It was at that point it clicked Control wasn't on the up and up.

Anyone who can make personalized buttons could push the button themselves and they had no reason to ask us to push it for them.

As was proven because then they were definitely the ones to drop our elevator.

[robitussin]

Yeah.

So. Any bets on what they're going to do with us now that the experiment is over?

[soulping]

Brother????

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING A DOUCHEBAG, COCKBITE?! Come over here and say that!"

[femmefailtale]

...Huh.

We didn't have ours drop, we just refused to drop yours. Somebody's cruising for a wedgie.

[carptricks]

An eerie, oddly suspicious coincidence. Yeah?

[he sounds soooo sarcastic]

[purrtylittlewires]

They are experimenting on children, they deserve it.

Innies may or may not be real, their threat level is questionable, and Control is manipulating us.

[carptricks]

They did.

We didn't take it.

[and now he's extra glad that he didn't]
