Day 76.Weather: An incredibly dry, sunny 96°f.
Events: Those hoping for a fun vacation day are in for a bit of bad news. Those preparing to be dumped into an infested sewer pipe, good news! It's all about perspective, really.
Everyone wakes up in an old motel that looks like it was last updated sometime in the 70s. All of the rooms are
identical, and yes, hideous. The motel is on an incredibly dusty desert road, and it's impossible to leave the property. Attempting to results in steady zapping via the implant in the back of the neck, and attempting to fight through it will eventually lead to the individual passing out.
Unfortunately, the motel doesn't have a lot to offer. There's a pool, but it's in need of a good cleaning. There are plenty of dead bugs and frogs floating around in there. The lobby has a coffee maker. There's a room with a few vending machines and an icemaker, but the food inside the vending machines is
all there is to be found. The most nutritious options in there are pop tarts, crackers, or beef jerky. The rest is all candy and chips. Items cost anywhere from 75¢-$1, and each subject will find a $20 bill in their room somewhere. Chase and Cecilia have each been given a day's worth of cat or dog food respectively.
There's a housekeeping room with cleaning supplies. In the lobby are a few old board games and jigsaw puzzles. There's a TV in every room, but there's only 4 options of what to watch: 24 hours of
Three's Company,
Little House on the Prairie, an old gameshow called
Bowling for Dollars, or partially scrambled 70s porno.
Simms has a room of his own, and
is locked inside? But he's also got a window. If he wants out bad enough, he can break it and bail. Experiment B can also access a batcave very similar (although not entirely identical) to their own, and there's a greater supply of food and drink (and yes, booze) down there.
Each room also has a computer with network access, but it's a super old fashioned
monstrosity of a computer.
Everyone only has the clothing they last wore. For most, that'll mean PJs. If you went to bed naked, you get whatever you were wearing before that.
Finally, Temple is not among the group. She has been removed.
