SUGAR MOMMY: ZERO

[fullthottle]

SUGAR MOMMY On Tuesday afternoon, Zero's clamshell will ping! from wherever they have it. Should they pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, they will realize that their RULEBOOK app has updated to version 2.0. Opening the app will reveal that there has been an addendum to the rules... but one that seems meant exclusively for them. No other survivor will be able to see these additions. They read as such: 1. Each week, you will select ONE out of three options. 2.You will NOT KNOW what any of these options are until YOU HAVE SELECTED ONE. 3. The results may be BENEFICIAL OR DETRIMENTAL TO THE GROUP. 4. You CANNOT TAKE BACK YOUR CHOICE once it is made. 5. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not FREELY OFFER THE INFORMATION to others. A notification will arrive the moment they have finished reading through the update. Its contents are no less confusing.

The fact that the moment they open a door and walk through it, they will find themselves falling face first an entirely new location. Particularly, one that doesn't seem to fit into any part of the hotel, and absolutely not one that they meant to go through. As they regain their bearings and look at their surroundings, they'll realize that the door they walked through is no longer there. It seems like they have only one choice, and that's to walk through an empty hospital wing until they reach a single room with a steadily beeping heart monitor. It is there that they will find a familiar face...

No.

[ is her immediate retort, but after that she'll pause to mull it over a bit. let's see, there's only been one Friday so far, but... hm. ]

... Something that doesn't fit, huh? Better hope it's obvious.

Any hints on where it'll be?

[ maybe she can just... pocket evidence. in her non-existent pockets. ]

[tricycles]

[ZERO.................... He gives her a flat look after her immediate response, but sits back until she figures it out herself. Once she's worked out the logic—]

I tried to tell you exactly what it is and where it'll be first. [Hence, that garbled nonsense.] They're not letting me say anything more than what you already got.

[fleuris]

Sorry, I missed that while you were busy speaking in tongue.

[ zero, he's not doing it on purpose. ]

Obvious and that I find it first, then. If someone else latches onto it, what am I supposed to do, persuade them that it's fake?

[ you know she persuades people? she stabs them. she stabs them until they can't have an idea anymore. ]

[tricycles]

Yes. Exactly.

[NO STABBY, ZERO.]

You're smart, Zero. I know you can figure this out. If you explain to the others why it doesn't fit, they'll hear you out.

[fleuris]

[ she's just. giving him the look in her icon.

is she smart? debatable. is she remotely patient? no. ]

[tricycles]

[giving her this flat look back.

are you calling yourself stupid zero]

[fleuris]

[ she's only got one eye, Carlos, she can keep this staring contest going.

and no, fuck you, she's not stupid! she's- ah, wait, that's not.... ]

... You called this place in between, but what is it? And how did you find it?

[tricycles]

[he's a weird zombie creature it's fine let this contest last forever

but also--]

... It's like I told you: A place you can only access when we need your help with something. I woke up this morning and I realized I could, uh— Cross over to wait for you.

[fleuris]

[ well, now she Has to win. you're going down, zombie. >( ]

But you weren't expecting it to be me.

[ naturally. and because hospitals don't(?) exist in not Spain, she'll nod at the heart monitor. ]

And the... beeping thing?

[tricycles]

[He shakes his head.]

Nah. I knew it would be you.

[.......... But, hm. He hesitates for a moment, glancing at the heart monitor when she points it out.

After a beat:]

The, uh... The heart monitor?

[fleuris]

[ and he came over anyways? yeah, she's not touching that. ]

Is that what it's called? [ the names for some things are so nice and self-explanatory. "dick pic", "heart monitor", they're very easy to puzzle out once you know them. ]

Who's heart is it... monitoring?

[ is it Zero's? after all, Carlos is dead, he doesn't have anything to monitor. ]

[tricycles]

[Does he?

Carlos shrugs, an odd expression on his face. If he knows, or if he's just unnerved by it... It's hard to tell.]

... Don't know. I'm not entirely convinced it isn't there just to freak us out.

[fleuris]

[ well, Zero's not checking. ]

What's it going to do, make noises at me?

[ interest gone. ]

Alright, how do I get out of here?

[tricycles]

[Valid.]

If you're sure you don't have any other questions, walk through that door and you'll be back on the ship.

[fleuris]

[ ... ]

Find the thing that doesn't belong and try to persuade the idiots to ignore it. I think that about sums it up.

[ and if he's got nothing else to say, she'll brush by and walk out the door. ]

[tricycles]

[He has nothing else to say! Go forth, Zero. She'll be dropped back where she was taken from the hotel, as if she had walked back into the room she entered from.]

[fleuris]

[ goes forth to do stupid shit with sexually transmitted curses ]
