[ investigating the screen and everything else. someone can get her to sit though]

cw: needles

[pointzeropercent]

[She can investigate the screen, and she sees that both of them are number displays of some kind. They seem the same in design actually, kind of like a digital clock.

Also, once Mafuyu and Sayaka take a seat, the door to the glass room slams shut, locking everyone else inside.

Meanwhile, several restraints suddenly pop up from the seats, trapping Mafuyu and Sayaka against the chairs. The floor beneath them falls away, revealing that the chairs are on top of a round platform. And, as the platform is right now, Mafuyu is facing a robotic arm with a syringe attached to it.

Sayaka, meanwhile, will find a button on the arm of her chair, within reach.

At the same time, the two displays in the glass room turn on. One is a timer counting down from 60 minutes, the other currently says 55.0.

From a speaker in the room, a familiar voice will ring out:]

You have 60 minutes to figure out how to save everyone, or else Mafuyu will die. Good luck~

[beathollow]

AAA-!!

( the straps are... expected, unfortunately. she did this willingly and expecting the worst, after all, and there's not a lot of terror you can pull out of a regular chair without something happening.

the floor falling, that is. unpleasant.

the syringe is terrifying and mafuyu almost forgets to breathe for a moment- is it going to drain her? or something else? she can't tell, and she can't tear her eyes away, either. )

[finalmix]

-- Mafuyu!

[ he can't even be sure if they can hear him because of the damned glass walls but hey, at least they have 60 minutes?? ]

[ so while sayaka does her Thing (watching that very closely tbh) is there anything else in the glass room that can be investigated for clues or something... (15) ]

[pointzeropercent]

[He sure can! With that 15, he can see that one of the floor tiles is slightly out of place!]

[finalmix]

[ OK he is poking at that floor tile in that case - can it come off or pushed or something? what's underneath it? ]

[pointzeropercent]

[He can remove it! It's kind of heavy, and I assume he is a noodle so he will have to kind of just scoot it to the side.

Underneath is a 50-foot deep pit with spikes at the bottom.]

[moodwrecker]

...What the hell is this supposed to be?!

[This girl is NOT built for death games.]

[beathollow]

I- I'm okay! I trust you!

( she has to strain to be heard since she naturally falls on the quiet side, and her voice sounds a little rough, but. she's okay.

for now. )

[finalmix]

Don't move, there's something here.

[ that 15 was such a good roll and then now nobody has eyes ]

[beathollow]

Please be careful...

( hypocrite??? )

[destage]

[For what little it's worth, Sayaka manages not to scream--despite the clear terror on her face, she's determined to not be useless and dither this time around. The floor falling beneath them is terrifying in entirety, and she can't even see what Mafuyu is screaming at.

But Sayaka pauses. Gulps her throat. There's a button there that's in front of her, and she doesn't know what it does. But...]

...Mafuyu-chan. Can you trust me for a second?

[beathollow]

Y-yes.

( her stomach feels heavy, her throat is dry and something is hurting, and she can't look away still.

but she would trust almost everyone here with her life. )

[destage]

There's a button here on my chair. I...I'm not sure what pressing it is going to do, but...

[It's within her reach. It's something she can do, though she looks around what little bit of the room she can see to see if there's anything else that can be done.]

I can try it. What's in front of you, what's happening? C-Can you describe it at all?

[beathollow]

It- it's a robotic arm with a syringe. It's right in front of me. I don't know what it will do.

[destage]

[...Given Sayaka's nat one observation, she's pretty sure there's only one option. And while she hates it, maybe...

Maybe she can save Mafuyu with it.]

...I don't know if this is going to work, but this is the only thing I can see here...

[prozaic]

[Ah yes, the two most prone to panicking, in this game together. For the love of--

Shalem bangs on one of the glass walls as hard as he can so he can get the girls' attention. Then he projects his voice as loud as he can with all of his stage training:]

Do not do anything, and keep yourself from panicking. We have an hour before whatever punishment activates.

[destage]

[Sayaka startles a little, but at the very least, Shalem's voice is...well, it's not calming necessarily, but it's at least enough to get her to withdraw her hand.

...For now.]

...Okay! Please keep us updated on the time--I'm...

I'm not going to do anything impulsive, but if it's our only way...

[Still, she finds herself trying to calm a bit. For Mafuyu's sake. Is there anything Sayaka can make out looking around, now that she's a little calmer? (16) Or is it just the button and what one can only assume is just. This room.]

[beathollow]

( mafuyu closes her eyes and tries to steady her breath. joshua's voice helps. but confirmation that there's still time...

...

she tries to take a better look around from her position. (12) )

[pointzeropercent]

[She can just barely see the clock ticking down over in the glass room. It currently says 52:47.]

[pointzeropercent]

[From her side of things, it's difficult to see. She's facing the wrong way. However, she can see that there is wiring going from the pedestal they are on and over to the clock that currently says 55.0.]

[destage]

[Damn. It was at least worth a shot.]

[prozaic]

[Her constantly acting on her impulses is his problem with her! He does not trust any of the kids in this place. Where are Yoon and Kirumi when you need them, they're trustworthy.]

We found a pit underneath the room. Stay put.

[moodwrecker]

-Shoot!

[TIME TO LOOK AROUND WILDLY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING SHE CAN USE TO SAVE EVERYONE (14).]

[pointzeropercent]

[Well, Joshua found a pit under a tile. That looks promising(?)]
