Who: Silent Bob & Cheryl Mason
What: Experimentation time
When: Sometime in the morning, most likely, but impossible to know for sure
Where: A small sealed cell with no windows or doors and water slowly dripping in
Rating: TBD (Currently probably around R for language and stripper talk)
Status: Active






Cheryl couldn't quite remember falling asleep. Last she remembered, she had been sitting vigil outside of the theater because she hadn't been able, or wanted, to fall asleep. She had just intended to watch the sun finish rising before going inside and checking on things...

...and now here she was, awake and sitting up on a small wooden bench in the middle of a space too small to even be called a room. Her breathing was sharp and panicked as she gripped the edge of the bench with white knuckled fingers and her eyes stared widely at the only other bit of furniture in the room - another bench on which laid the familiar form of Bob. She watched the prone man for a long moment, silently praying that his chest would rise and fall with regular breathing and dreading the second when she'd have to come to terms with the fact that she was alone in this cell with a dead man.

A passing moment killed that fear when it became clear that Bob was breathing slowly and steadily and Cheryl was forced to again face the fact that the fading and reassertion of reality hadn't taken from a nightmare to a better place; rather, it seemed that it had thrown her, and Bob, directly into the heart of something even less comforting.

"Fuck," Cheryl muttered under her breath. She forced her body into motion, standing from her bench and edging to the nearest wall. A slightly unsteady hand began to search the smooth surface for any hint of the flaw or clue that would lead to whatever puzzle could free them from this situation.

Bob had fallen asleep to the familiar smell of nasty, musty couches. The evening may have been punctuated by the sound of wind gusts; but, Bob had made himself a cool fucking fort of couches, so even in the barn with it's gaping doors he still felt relatively safe. Besides, after a couple of fucking days he was fairly certain that if Jason Vorhees was coming for him he would have done so already (the druggies usually went after the sluts... So far, no slut deaths either as far as he knew.)

Waking only enough to taste the nastiness of morning breath on the roof of his mouth, Bob tried to get comfortable on his couch. It was with a rather uncomfortable moment he realized he wasn't on a cushion. It's not like he could have fallen out of his fort or some shit - there were couch backs on both sides. Fuck.

Blinking the world into reality, Bob tried to focus - the world seemed awfully smooth and featureless. Was he fucking blind now. Turning his head sharply left and right be finally caught sight of Cheryl and he realized that being blind wasn't the problem - he was just in a fucking smooth ass room. A small, smooth ass room.

"Fuck," he echoed.

Would it be fucking rude to smoke in an enclosed space, because Bob was hankering for a cig like no man's business. Bob sighed, shrugging. What the fuck were they supposed to do now?

That echo of her earlier statement could not have come at a better time, since it summed up her current opinion on this whole situation pretty damn well. Cheryl failed to find even the smallest hint of a flaw in the smooth surface of the wall and the floor seemed just as sturdy and flawless. The idea of climbing up on the bench on which she'd awakened did occur to her, but Cheryl soon came to the conclusion that there was fuckall that could be done at the moment.

"This is complete bullshit," she muttered, pressing her back against the wall and sliding to a sitting position. The thought that this was some sort of sick puzzle quickly transitioned into the idea that this was a trap, which meant that there was absolutely nothing to do until blood started chasing the water down the walls or some hungry horror was let into the room to tear the both of them to pieces - and, of course, she didn't even have the brokenass umbrella to defend herself.

Cheryl lifted her head to glance at Bob and she offered him a weak impression of a smile. "You wouldn't happen to have any more of those smokes on you, would you? This probably isn't the time or the place, but I really could kill for one just about now."

Bob sighed, reaching into his pocket he found his lighter and the soft pack of cigarettes- a total of four remaining there. Normally, this would last him til just before lunch. Under the circumstances, he wasn't entirely sure how long they'd make it. He'd have to ration.

Holding out the pack to her she waited for her to take one before holding out the lighter for her to use as well. Bob, for better or for worse was neither claustrophobic nor afraid of suffocating because of the cigarette smoke. Cheryl, for better or for worse, seemed to be on the same page. He hated to think of what this situation would be like with a whiney scaredy cat who started insisting that the walls were closing in and that his cigs were going to use up all the air.

However, in their moment of quiet Bob thought he heard something. A single scrape at first. Turning his head left and right he tried to place it. Was it coming from the corners? All corners? It was like the walls were rubbing on themselves. That was some weird shit. Why the fuck would the walls be rubbing?

"You're a life saver, again," Cheryl offered half-heartedly. It was a bit hard for her to conjure up even the dregs of humor and she wasn't sure she had the energy to really try it; at the current moment, all she wanted to do was concentrate on smoking the cigarette currently being lit by Bob down to the filter and then breathe in the smoke until whatever the hell trap this was finally sprung. She had already resolved herself to the idea that the worst was yet to come but the realization that there was absolutely nothing she could do to prevent it or to remove herself or Bob from the equation conjured up a wan sort of apathy.

"Listen, Bob, I--" Whatever she had been about to say was interrupted as soon as Cheryl became aware of the low scraping sound. She cocked her head to one side and listened hard, but the noise seemed to have come from every side and from each corner. Her heart beginning to race, she tipped her head back to peer up at the ceiling but it was as smooth and unmarked as before - no spikes to be seen.

"Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me," she muttered under her breath. Her suddenly wide eyes watched the billowing of the cigarette smoke overhead but it remained a mostly benign shade of gray - no red to be seen. "Hey, what would you say to trying to move these benches to the middle of the room and lying on the floor for a bit?"

It was a silly idea and it likely wouldn't do a thing should the walls really be rubbing in the corners, but her previous plan of sitting and waiting dropped in priority in the face of the memories of the drop ceiling and deadly red fog of the haunted house.

Bob grinned approvingly - still quite unused to being so openly appreciated. He'd pluck out his own cig from the soft pack and light it, rolling the smoke in his mouth thoughtfully. It was pretty fucked up again - the world. He was just starting to get used to being fucked over and sleeping on musty ass couches. Instead, now he was shoved into a small ass room with no padding and a fucking bench.

As if she were echoing his thoughts Bob nodded as she spoke, 'You have got to be fucking kidding me,' letting his brow raise and fall in agreement. This was just getting more and more fucking lame by the minute. Did it really fucking sound like the walls were fucking coming together? Was the room fucking getting smaller? Was he suddenly going to have to play Indiana Jones and save his fucking hat and the girl? Like hell his hat was going to fall off his fucking head.

Shrugging, Bob moved to the middle of the room and took up a comfortable pose leaning against one of the walls. So far, it didn't seem like it was pushing; but it sure as hell sounded like it fucking was.

At least he had some fucking cigs.

"Now what?" He asked quietly, looking at the ceiling, the floor, the walls and then Cheryl before shrugging. How long could they fucking have to stay in there, anyway?

Between the low grinding of the walls and the endless dripping of the water, Cheryl could feel her final nerve slowly and steadily being frayed. The cigarette which had now been smoked down to its filter had initially helped to bestow a momentary peace but she could feel the slow, icy paranoia starting to rise - and it was all just getting so annoying. She had wriggled or lucked her way out of so many stupid, deadly puzzles to escape that damned town - and yet here she was, doing that same exact thing but with hugely undefined goals.

What the fuck had she fought for, if she was just going to get caught up in a damned loop?

A frustrated kick was aimed at the bench nearest to her but the futile action left Cheryl mostly unsatisfied; the bench didn't budge an inch and even the noise was lost under the sound of the walls and the water. Frowning, she flopped to sit again with her back against the wall opposite the one he had chosen and she drew her legs up against herself.

"Unless you're hiding a lot of muscle, or even some major tools, under that coat of yours, I doubt we can do anything to the walls or the floor - so breaking out doesn't seem like an option," Cheryl sighed in response to his question and shook her head. "I guess we wait. What else can we do? They won't let us do anything but play by their fucking rules."

Bob jumped a bit as Cheryl kicked the bench. Lighting the last of four cigarettes he went in for another smoke. If he was going to be fucking crushed, he was going to go out fucking happy.

Bob didn't know what the fuck to do aside from give a disappointed nod as he didn't have a lot of fucking muscle or a bunch of fucking tools so it was all he could to to feel like a fucking waste of space. At least he had his cigs, right?

For better or fucking worse the wall hadn't moved yet, it just fucking sounded like it was. The floor wasn't fucking wet, either; so, fuck the whole idea of water coming in. The only way this would get messy is when one of them had to shit or something. That would be fucking miserable.

Flaring his nostrils as the thought occurred to him, Bob scratched his head. This fucking blew, even if he was fucking in there with Cheryl.

For fun, Bob started fucking knocking on the wall - because who the fuck knew, someone might hear him. Currently he was knocking out the beat to Jungle Love. Morris Day and the Motherfucking Time.

The waiting was the worst part. Cheryl felt that she could probably handle it if the room were suddenly filled with poisonous smoke or if some wild creature was set loose on them - but sitting in a small room with no indication of what might come...

"It's like one of those stupid stress tests," she muttered. She was speaking mostly to herself and mostly just to hear something other than the endless dripping of the water and the low grinding of the walls. Already, she had come to the conclusion that neither of them were in immediate danger - the wall against which she had been leaning hadn't moved so much as an inch and the water really wasn't anything more than an irritating white noise. "Experiment one: how long will it takes for the two subjects locked in a fucking cell to get tired of sitting around and to start to eat each other? Will the lighter come into play? Let's ask Mister Wizard!"

She snorted a laugh at herself but the strange sound of it didn't sit comfortably with her; instead of dwelling on that, she chose to merely listen to the beat which Bob was currently knocking on the walls. "Hey, you know, that's not a bad idea. Someone might hear if you keep that up, but let me know if your hands get sore and you want me to take over."

Bob wasn't fucking enjoying this. Well, actually he was sort of enjoying the time with Cheryl - but, the fact that he was fucking stuck in a room the size of the fucking bathroom at the Quick Stop was fucking annoying.

As she talked about the fucking experiment he couldn't help but fucking nod like a fucking bobblehead. The only time he ever fucking did this shit was when Jay fucking talked. This was fucking epic. She was really fucking awesome, wasn't she? God, if she ever meets Jay let's hope he doesn't fucking freak her out.

Bob continued to knock, though, his knuckles were already starting to get sore. He'd run out of Jungle Love and was currently just thud-thumping away. Fuck, how long would he have to do this for?

Shrugging he stood up, now slapping his palms on the wall like he was back at the fucking Quick Stop waiting for some fucking teenager to show up and try to score.

That was it. She couldn't take it anymore. Cheryl simply couldn't just sit in her corner and wait for some unseen door to slide open so that could just walk out and she couldn't sit around and hope that this entire stupid experiment would end as soon as she and Bob learned some obscure lesson - or offered some equally obscure bit of information. She had enough of being studied and shaped in her history; whoever was running this experiment could go fuck him or herself.

It was probably fortunate that her leap into action only included beating her own hands against the wall but this was likely due to Bob; his cool head was helping Cheryl keep a leash on her own emotion and it was helping her from getting too paranoid about what might be behind all of this. If he hadn't been here, she likely would have beaten herself bloody against the walls - or tried to access things which were now but a distant memory. Really, Bob was growing in her esteem with each passing moment, even if she wasn't going to say as much.

"I wonder if those sick bastards want us to start screaming," she muttered as she continued to strike a meaningless beat against the wall. "I doubt there's even anyone to hear us - and the echoes in a small place like this'd probably be pretty brutal."

Bob's brow quirked at the mention of fucking screaming. Bob didn't fucking talk, let alone scream. Turning he decided to save his hands for a little while and started dragging the bench back and forth across the floor, it's end hitting the wall with a rather satisfying thud.

Thud. Scrape. Thud. Scrape. Thud. Scrape. Fucking hell.

Deciding to make the best of a fucked up situation with each push of the bench Bob would fucking do a different dance step. For a fucking white guy, Bob had a pretty good sense of rythym. He wished he had his fucking boom box that would make this a little fucking easier.

Stopping for a second he stared at the wall. Was there even a fucking scrape?

The idea of using the bench to beat against the wall was, admittedly, fucking genius but the fact that even that much abuse seemed to leave the wall mostly unmarred took away a bit of enthusiasm. Cheryl muttered a disappointed curse under her breath but Bob's rather impressive impromptu dance did manage to wring a grin from her.

"Pretty fly for a white guy," she snickered, nodding her approval of his wicked moves. For a moment, she rested with her back against the wall and merely flexed the sting from her fingers and palms but she soon turned her attention back to the wall.

"Debuting tonight at the first ever hell night at Heaven's Night," Cheryl moved to resume thumping out something as close to a dance beat as she could manage against the wall but, this time, she chose to use palms, knuckles, knees, and feet - scrapes and bruises be damned. "The silent man who knows just how to use his mouth - Bob Hothose!"

The fact that she was beginning to get perhaps a bit stir-crazy did occur to Cheryl but she just didn't care; all she really cared about, at this point, was either breaking down the wall with one of the damned benches or making enough noise so that someone would come along and let them out.

A breathy version of "Duuuuuh, duh, duh, duh," to the rythym of 'Pretty Fly For a White Guy' came out of Bob's lips as he continued to bang the bench against the wall. This was like fucking exercise - does this mean he'd wake up tomorrow ripped? Bob could fantasize, couldn't he?

Doing his impression of a snorkeler headed down under in response to being called a silent man who knows how to use his mouth, Bob smirked. It could be fucking worse. Really, it could be. He could be stuck in here with fucking Ryuzaki. Or, he could be fucking alone. That would fucking blow.

Doing a drumroll against the bench Bob signalled it was her turn to introduce herself. Fuck yeah.

The fact that Bob was actually playing along with her current bout of silliness amused Cheryl to no end. Not that she had really expected him to react badly, but she wouldn't have been overly surprised if he had just rolled his eyes or something; but no - there he was dancing like a fucking champ and actually doing a damn fine job of making all of this livable.

"You can't be serious," she laughed when it became clear that Bob was waiting for her to introduce herself but, hell, if he had been enough of a sport to play along then she might as well hold up her end of things.

"Also debuting tonight - the Princess of Hearts, the road to motherfucking paradise, Cherry Harrison." Figuring that she couldn't introduce herself without adding a few dance moves to the mix, she shimmied her way to a crouch then used her hip to check the second bench against the opposite wall. The sound which followed was rather satisfying, even if the lack of result was not, and so she decided to keep at it.

"You know, if we keep at this and get out of this hellhole, we might just have found the new exercise craze."

Cheryl - or Cherry as she was now introducing herself, made Bob actually laugh aloud. It wasn't often that his laugh wasn't as silent as the rest of him - but, she was making him fucking laugh.

Huffing, Bob had to sit on his bench for a minute. Another bobblehead moment as he agreed with the idea of this shit as an exercise craze - but who the fuck would volunteer to be locked in a fuckng room with no other choice than to bang themselves against the wall in order to escape?

Well, he started off sitting, but eventually pillowpants just had to lie down for a minute or two. So, feeling like he couldn't just stop the effort, Bob laid on his back, stomping his feet on the wall adjacent.

Dammit he was starting to get fucking thirsty.

Cheryl wasn't about to begrudge Bob a couple minutes of rest, especially not when he'd been the one doing all of the work of bouncing benches off of the walls.

"Let me know if this gets too loud or annoying," she offered with a slight grin. "I'm not sure it's doing any good, anyway, but it's better than standing around and waiting to go crazy." Because giving the both of them stripper names and dancing with a wooden bench were both signs of complete rationality.

Speaking of rationality, she continued to hip check the unoccupied bench into the wall until she was quite sure that both of her hips would likely be badly bruised; it was then that she moved on to kicking it against the wall, even if there was still no sign of actual damage.

Bob, fat ass that he is, had managed to render himself completely spent and lying on the bench. Sitting up he pulled off his trench before laying back down again. "Fuck," he breathed as he tried to take up as much room as humanly possible for a moment.

Too loud? If Bob could make it fucking loud enough to burst his eardrums he would - at least then maybe someone would hear them.

What the fuck were the walls made out of, anyway fucking titanium or some shit? Groaning Bob tried to will himself to fucking sit up. No dice.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Cheryl agreed with a slight snort. 'Fuck' seemed to encapsulate just about every last detail of this whole experience - both what had happened inside this room and what had happened ever since that gray Portland morning.

Knowing that dwelling on those thoughts would lead nowhere she wanted to be, Cheryl returned her attention to kicking the bench into the wall and, when she grew tired of that, she started to use her shins. She had already pretty much given up hope of being heard but going through the motions was currently preferable to sitting around and letting her thoughts get the better of her.

"You alright?" She asked, turning her head to glance at the now prone figure of Bob. "I know, that's a dumbass question considering what's going on but still..."

Sighing he sat up, taking off his hat to straighten out his hair a little and exposing what could have been a permanent ring around his head from where his hat habitually constructed his hair. Replacing his hat he scratched his chin - taking up a mock thinking mans pose.

'You alright?' she asked, and Bob just shrugged again. He didn't know what to do aside from that. He wasn't feeling particularly shitty - just tired and fucking thirtsy. Making a motion like he had a cold fucking brew he mimed his feeling to Cheryl.

Taking out the soft pack he started himself on another cig. Snoke 'em if you got 'em, Bob supposed.

"Oh, you have no fucking idea how right you are," Cheryl half-laughed at his miming of the need for a cold drink but she couldn't help but agree with his assessment; nothing could make this ideal but a cold drink, ideally something alcoholic, could make it marginally livable.

"While you're at it, let's add a double happy burger," she sighed, slumping to sit on the bench which she had just been abusing. Dangling her arms over her knees, she inclined her head to stare at the faint red of her hands. "Some of those horrible fries would be good, too - and an extra thick chocolate shake."

Another laugh but this one caught short when all the talk of food reminded her of a late afternoon run-in at the gas station. Sitting up a little, she rooted in the pocket of her hoodie and soon enough she held up a slightly unwrapped but uneaten Slim Fast Bar.

"It's no burger, but it's something I guess," Cheryl muttered and held the bar out in offering to Bob. "Want it? It's two days old and unwrapped but it should still be alright."

Waggling his brow, Bob indicated that he did know just how fucking right he was. He was so fucking right that his tongue felt like fucking sandpaper.

Pursing his lips with a continued nod of agreement as she went on to mention the fucking burger, fries, and shake. He was most impressed with the fact that she was the sort of fucking girl who actually fucking ate. Good fucking shit. Next thing he knew she'd be talking about burps and farts and then he'd know she was a transvestite.

Waving his hand to the offer of the slim fast bar he sort of shrugged, "Save it," he remarked, finding himself thinking that was what he ought to have done with the cigs. There were now only three left in the pack.

"You're probably right. I didn't even think of that," Cheryl nodded and placed the bar on the bench beside herself. Though she was beginning to feel a bit more comfortable with the food offerings in this place, she still wasn't comfortable enough to really try eating until she was on the edge of real hunger. "Who knows how long we'll be left down here? It might be a good idea to ration."

She paused a moment and then laughed outright. "Not that we have anything to ration - a slim fast bar and some cigs." Was this all a starvation scheme? If it was, then there wasn't much chance that they'd make it more than a few days.

"Too bad we don't have anything cup shaped," she mused as she turned to watch a rivulet of water slide its way down the wall. "We could try to store up some of this water - though it'd probably take years to store enough to be much use."

The cig was passing away quickly. The burning rim was rapidly approaching the filter and Bob felt a pang of desperation. He had gone that first day with no smokes and he couldn't help but have felt like someone had cut off his left arm. Smoking was like a tic, or maybe a reflex. Whatever it was, he needed to do it.

Following her eyes he noted the water drop as it slid down the wall. Was it wrong that he fucking considered licking the fucking wall at this point? Motioning with his finger and making the universal sign for crazy, Bob then pointed to the water's trail and then to his tongue and made the crazy motion once again. Yes, he was fucking acknowledging the fucking insanity of licking the fucking wall; but, whatever. He was stuck in a fucking cell with Cheryl - crazy was understandable.

In any other situation, Cheryl would have likely considered licking a wall, any wall, to be a sign of either severe emotional and/or behavioral problems or the result of being on some very strong drug; however, in this situation it seemed to be the only possible way of being able to drink the water and so it was reasonable - or, at least, as reasonable as anything was going to get.

"I won't tell anyone if you don't," Cheryl snickered and shrugged slightly. She continued to watch the rather slow progress of the water but she soon shrugged mentally; the wall looked a thousand times more normal than others she had seen in her travels and it was pretty unlikely that the water was really tainted in anyway - right?

It took her only a second to decide that she didn't want to have to place the responsibility of testing the purity of the water, or the current level of her own paranoia, on Bob and so she did what seemed the most rational thing; kneeling on the bench, she leaned in until she was close enough to lick the wall and get a bit of water on her tongue. The taste caused her to grimace slightly but it seemed to be alright; if nothing else, it did soothe the uncomfortable dryness of her throat.

"Well, that's one more thing I swore I'd never do gone down the drain," Cheryl shifted position so that she was sitting on the back of the bench and shook her head.

Bob watched as Cheryl stood up, pressed herself against the wall, and her head moved in a way that indicated (much to Bob's inner torment) that she was fucking licking the wall.

Bob's jaw dropped. He hadn't expected her to do that. When she sat down and proclaimed this to be one more thing she swore she'd never do he couldn't help but give her a look that screamed, you are fucking insane.

It had taken some time but exhaustion, thirst, and an impeding feeling of fucking annoyance was seeping into the back of Bob's head. What if they never fucking got out of here? What if he did have to take a shit? What if the water was really fucking bad and caused his fucking balls to shrink? What if Cheryl was a fucking transvestite?

Standing and tensing Bob clenched his fists and looked at the fucking ceiling. "Let us the fuck out of here you sick fucks!" He screamed, chest heaving as he finished before sitting the fuck back down on the bench. He didn't feel particularly better, though perhaps less fucking scatterbrained.

How long could he hold out before he had to lick the wall? Well, the fucking scream was driving his endurance down a tick.

Cheryl could easily understand the unspoken words in the glance offered her but she returned it flatly, almost dully. She would certainly be among the first to admit that licking a wall was pretty damn weird but it was almost nothing compared to some of the weird, messed up shit she had been exposed to recently. The fact that her own reality had shifted to something so different from the accepted norm worried her but Cheryl hid this behind an attempted grin. "Sorry. I didn't mean to freak you out or anything. I think this whole fucked up situation's starting to get to me."

Cheryl was more than a little bit surprised when the guy who hadn't said more than a dozen words to her suddenly stood up at started screaming at the ceiling but she couldn't help but agree with what he was saying; it was just too bad that the idea of release seemed to be removed from the current reality.

"I didn't think you had it in you," she laughed faintly. "Though I don't think it's going to do anything; even if they heard us, there's no way in fuck that they're going to let us out that easy."

Cheryl stared pensively up at the ceiling for a long moment but there was little that could be told from a distance. Bracing herself with one hand against the wall, she carefully moved to stand on the narrow back of the bench, but it really wasn't all that much better; she still wasn't close enough to be able to get a good look at the ceiling, let alone to be able to actually do anything to it.

At least Cheryl knew what she had just did was fucking weird.

Shrugging Bob returned back to his former self, reserved and shut in, at least verbally anyway. It didn't really make him feel better to scream at nothing anyway.

Watching what she was up to Bob climbed up on the bench beside her. Knitting his fingers he held out his up turned palms, offering a boost. Hell, she could try and stand on his fucking shoulders if she wanted to. One time Jay had tried that shit in a fucking scheme to break into Mooby's and fucking TP Dante's office - Jay had lost his balance and landed on his ass and shit; but, something told Bob that Cheryl might be better at this shit than Jay.

"Good thinking," Cheryl nodded, once she caught the gist of what Bob was miming. Still, before acting on his suggestion, she quickly pulled off her boots and threw them to the side. Satisfied that socked feet would be a bit less harsh on his hands and shoulders, she continued to use one hand braced against the wall for support as she stepped first onto the knitted support of his hands and then, when it seemed that she still wasn't tall enough to reach, she moved to stand on his shoulders.

"Let me know if I get too heavy or this is too painful," she demanded, moving her head to glance down at him. Finding it a bit disconcerting to keep looking down, Cheryl returned her attention to the ceiling and she found that, if she stretched up onto her tiptoes, she was just close enough to push up against the ceiling. Unfortunately, it became clear only a moment later that pushing up wasn't doing much good and so she started to beat against it with her closed fists. "Come. On. You. Fucking. Bastard. I'm not giving up until we're out of here."

Bob felt like one of those fucking Chinese acrobats with the fucking chairs and shit piled up on his fucking shoulders. She was supposed to start jumping around and some shit soon, right? And fucking piling up chairs and fucking little kids, right? The more Bob thought the more he started to fucking go kind of zen - his mind in another place. Well, that was until she started fucking screaming at the fucking ceiling.

'Fuck yeah!' he fucking nodded affirmatively. She was fucking right. These assholes needed to let them the fuck out. Bob didn't mind so much being fucking stuck in a glass enclosed fucking town - but in a fucking cell? Maybe the way out was really in the fucking floor? Maybe it wasn't the fucking ceiling.

Looking down, Bob tried to spy any fucking cracks and shit. No dice - nothing on the floor except the scrapes they'd made with the fucking benches.

Fuck.

Pounding on the ceiling did nothing. Pushing up against the ceiling did nothing. Screaming apparently only made the screamer horse and filled the small cell with unpleasant echoes. Absolutely nothing Cheryl was doing seemed to make even the smallest impact on her surroundings - and that just pissed her off to no end.

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," she whispered under her breath. Finding that beating on the ceiling was doing nothing, she stated to trace her fingertips over the surface in search of some small indent or catch that might give her a clue as to what could be done. "I know you open so why don't you just do it already..."

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There was no catch or device to be found in any of the area she could reach and Cheryl had the strong impression that the rest of the ceiling was just as featureless. Sighing, she let her arms fall idle to her sides. "Fuck. I'm getting the idea that this isn't getting us anywhere."

Bob was starting to wonder if this shit was nothing but a bad fucking dream because his shoulders had already fucking started to go numb and his brain had fucking shut off and his mouth felt really fucking dry. Fuck dry mouth was uncomfortable and you were never fucking uncomfortable in dreams.

"Fuck," he breathed again. He wasn't so used to fucking talking so damned much - it was starting to make him think he was losing his marbles and some shit.

Bob had to restrain himself from looking up even though all he wanted to do was give Cheryl the look of 'you have to be fucking kidding me.' Tapping the top of her feet with his hands he signaled that it was probably about fucking time for her to get down and shit.

Cheryl nodded to the light tap on her feet and she quickly clambered down from her position on his shoulders. Muttering a few choice words under her breath, she returned to sullenly sitting on the back of the bench.

"I think I'm now officially out of ideas," she sighed. "There's nothing on the ceiling, nothing on the walls, and I doubt we'll find anything if we crawl around on the floor for the next hour. No catches, no indents, no mechanisms - not a damned thing." She laughed faintly, rather bitterly. "I'm used to puzzles but nothing this fucking vague. Unless those sick fucks are waiting for us to kill or fuck each other..."

Bob sat down on the bench, too, crossing his arms and feeling pretty fucking annoyed at the fact they were still fucking stuck in there. What the fuck? They'd tried screaming like morons and tried all the fucking genius methods of getting the fuck out. They'd tried fucking licking the damned wall.

'Kill or fuck each other,' she said, and Bob's interest picqued. He could fucking dream that the proper order of things was fuck then kill.

Waggling his brow Bob grooved a little bit in his seat. He had to entertain himself somehow since he seriously doubted they were going to fuck or some shit. Now what the fuck were they supposed to do? Take a fucking nap? Sing Kumbaya? Light a fire in the fucking cell? They could fucking light a fire - that would be some shit, wouldn't it?

Bob mimed rock, paper, scissors. If they were going to be fucking stuck for a while, they might as well fucking be entertained.

"Oh get down, get funky," Cheryl laughed as Bob started to groove in his seat. She briefly clapped out a beat in time with his movements but there was a slight lack of enthusiasm this time around. It was a bit hard, after all, to still be really enthusiastic about almost anything after being stuck in a confined space for - how the hell long had it been, anyway? Cheryl was starting to have a bit of trouble tracking time and that did worry her - just not as much as the thought that they might never find their way out worried her.

She broke off clapping long enough to stretch and to yawn, more of a way to try to get rid of some of the building tension than any real tiredness. Turning her attention back to Bob, she raised his eyebrows at his miming but she soon grinned and nodded. "Sure, why not? One, two, three - shoot!"

Here he went again. His small hand drill burring its way into the screws at the top of yet another solitaire cell. He didn't wonder what they were doing. He didn't care. It wasn't his job to care about them or what happened to them. Just open the cell and let them out if they were still alive then clean up when they were gone. Easy enough.

If they looked up as he pulled the lid from the cell, letting the afternoon sunlight fill the area around them, they would see him however momentarily. He was a very non-descript man. Sandy hair, brown eyes, no distinguishing features. They might even think they'd seen him somewhere before because they probably had. He was responsible for the transport of at least one third of those who walked the streets in Vas Captio.

Silently he would drop down the netted ladder as required, neither waiting to see if they would climb out nor giving them any instruction. Let them decide whether the outside was more of a trap than the cell. Then, still without a word, he disappeared beyond the edge of the cell ceiling. When they climbed out they would find themselves emerging from the lip of a large pipe-like cell sunken completely into the ground except for a 4 foot portion above ground. The cell stands alone in the center of a stand of trees within sight of a drab and run-down Tunnel of Love ride.

Experiment over. On to the next thing. He smiled and whistled as he disappeared into the woods.

Bob was about to fucking throw scissors when the fucking screech of a drill stopped him. Looking up the fucking lid was coming off and Bob fucking grinned. Holy fuck - they were being let out! They were really fucking being let out!

Pointing up like some fucking retard Bob just stood there and gestured to the fucking ladder as if to say, lets get the fuck out of here.

The sound of the drill drew her attention upwards and Cheryl paused with her hand halfway formed into the shape of a sheet of paper. This sign was left unremarked upon as she watched the lid being moved out of the way and it was utterly forgotten as a ladder was thrown down to them. Still, much of the relief she had felt was washed in rising anger as she registered the completely nondescript features of the man who had freed them.

She nodded absently to Bob's gesture to the ladder but she showed no hesitation in scrambling quickly upwards to freedom. Once she was back on level ground, she spun in every direction in search of the one who had freed (and possibly trapped) them but there was no sign whatsoever.

"Don't think you're getting off that easy," she yelled in the direction of the Tunnel of Love, even if she had no way of knowing if that was where the man had gone. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides and she dropped to pick a decent sized rock from the ground. "You can't just lock us up like fucking animals and run off! We're not your experiment! We're not fucking lab rats! Get back here and face us, you bastard!"
