Where's the starter?//

(Oof I forgot to post a starter)

she typed out a command in the program and held her breath, she hoped the door would unlock. "Did it work?" He asked from beside her. She sighed and turned to face him "No matter what happens, just know that–" she was cut off by the sound screeching metal. She smiled and took him by hand, running in the direction of the slowly opening gate. The second it fully opened, they were faced to face with Mr. D and electric guns. "I guess you did not understand the rules. Electra, take them to… the room." He smirked. The last thing heard was an earthshattering scream before the gates closed.

Tenley came home from her classes and flopped in the sofa. Her stepmom was in the kitchen, cooking dinner for the family. She came out into the living room "Tenley? There's something Liam wanted to talk to you about. He wouldn't tell us what it was, but ye seemed extremely worried." Olivia said to her. Tenley stood up and nodded "I'll go see what's wrong." She told her

Can you explain to me how golden arrows are chosen or something? I'm not sure how to start it tBH…

(OooooOOOOOOOooooh that makes more sense okay)

Mateo was eating cereal at the table in his dining room.
"Xanax" came a voice
Mateo responded immediately, "A highly addictive drug used mainly to treat clinical depression. Also a common street drug. Can be taken by mouth or dissolved in a non-alcoholic beverage"
"Very good" Mateo's brother, Rico, walked in, tucking the paper back into his pocket, "You'll pass the exam easily"
Mateo smiled, "I'll never beat your score though" he said.
Rico laughed, "Oh, no one ever will, hermanito" he said.
A knock sounded through the house and Rico frowned, "Stay here" he walked to the door and opened it, blinking as an official looking man stood outside the door.
"Rico Gonzales, you have been chosen to travel to Valencia. Congratulations. Your amber arrow has been decided, after careful deliberation, to be Mateo Gonzales"
Mateo heard his name and popped out of his seat, running to the door, "Que?" He gasped, "Me? An Amber Arrow?"

Harper shifted in her seat anxiously as her mother read the letter aloud. "Harper Reed, after careful deliberation, you have been chosen to become an Amber Arrow to accompany your brother, Jared Reed." Her mother's eyes filled with tears as she read, the realization hitting her again that both her children are leaving.

"Mama…" Harper's voice trailed off as she got up to hug her mother. She couldn't imagine what she would go through; losing the glue of the family. Harper knew in her heart that when she came back, her parents would be divorced.

(That's not how it works lol. Amber Arrows are people chosen by the ScarTechs to go Into Valencia undercover to see what's going on there. Those chosen to go to Valencia (aka Vetrans) are contacted via letter. If you need more info, see the Initial post or pm me)

Okay, I'm sorry. I guess i need to read the book or something because I have no idea about any of this and Im trying to understand//

(Hey Stark can I join?)

(Yep!!)

So I have a couple of questions (sorry) how come you can only be an amber arrow if a family member has gone to Valencia? And how does one actually get to Valencia
Perhaps you should just do all of the pre-work and once we're all in Valencia we can start XD because, though it is an amazing idea, and I really thought this was a book, I'm just a wee bit confused XD It could just be because Im blonde XD//

Valencia Ceremonial Hall, Trayvastien, Valencia.
20:00,
Kaisa stood at attention, her crimson and white uniform ironed perfectly, blond hair braided flawlessly, and her palms sweating from nervousness. She feigned confidence as the official read her accomplishments and achievements from probation, and why she deserved to be Badged. She let her mind wander as he seemed to drone on a bit. She looked at the assembly gathered. Just the others being promoted off probation and their supervisors. Her supervisor stood at her side, a tall, stern man named Ian Quill. He glanced at her through the corner of his eyes and gave her a small smile. A proud smile. Kaisa felt her face flush with pleasure, but she couldn't stop the guilt that squirmed in her stomach. She wondered if she should even feel pride with the knowledge she had and if what she suspected turned out to be true. But still, it was hard not to feel proud when the strictest supervisor was proud of her. ion snapped back as he turned to the pledges to which she must agree.
"Agent Tayvar, do you swear to uphold your duty with honor, integrity, and unwavering loyalty towards the country even at the cost of your life?"
Kaisa took a deep breath, wincing inwardly at the part about loyalty. Ignoring her qualms, she held her head high. "I do swear to these as described."

The rest of the ceremony passed quickly, and soon she found herself, Badged, official, and laying in bed in her small apartment, wondering how she would be able to break the vows she had made her very first morning of being on duty. But she needed answers, and people who go into Valencia can't disappear, not without leaving a trail. They couldn't stay without citizenship, and they couldn't leave without going through protocols. But some of them had disappeared. Her superiors tried to cover the trail, but that only made her more suspicious. She felt guilty, but lives could be at stake, and after all, she had sworn to do her duty, and her first and foremost duty was to the people of Valencia. Including the missing ones. Kaisa knew that what she was going to do was the right thing to do, but that didn't stop the anxiety she felt when she thought about what she might find.

(Amber arrows are people who are Spies from Scartech.
These people are chosen only if they have a family member of friend that was chosen to go to Valencia that year. You go into Valencia based on Mark's, or your job. In the beginning they only took smart people but after they all 'failed' Valencia started taking pride of different smartness levels.
People are chosen and given information via letter that tells them that they were chosen for a 1 year trial in Valencia. ScarTechs then contact a close family member of friend to go in with them and spy on Valencia for the ScarTechs because only typing adults are allowed inside Valencia)

Okay that makes a lot more sense. Do you mind leading my character along as he first arrives in Valencia? I don't want to mess anything up.
Mateo is the arrow and his brother Rico is the chosen//

Lol thanks//

(Joy your thing was great! I just have a request, do you mind asking me before making a big change or something?(for future reference lol) just in case what ever Kaisa does, matches up with what I have planned?)

(Sorry! I didn't think that that was big. Do you want me to PM you? All I was going to have her do is poke around and see some weird stuff, and then be caught and threatened to only do her job until you guys got into Valencia.)

(Sorry, I really wasn't trying to alter the plot or anything, I swear!)

(No no!! I mean if you decide to add something, just run it by me first lol)

Tenley went to her brothers room only to hear nothing. "Liam? Are you there?" She asked. Usually he would be listening to music but today it was quiet. She opened the door and found him on the floor with his head on his knees, an open envelope beside him. She sat by him and nudged him "what's up smokey?" She asked. He gave her a folded paper that was stamped with a very fancy letter 'V' with a lion on either side, enclosed in a vine with Rose's on it. She gasped in recognition, it was the Valencian coat of arms. Her hands shaking, she unfolded the letter and read it
'Dear Mr. Liam ,
You have been cordially invited to come into Valencia to live, work, and or study for one year after which you will be given the choice to stay or leave. In a few days time, you will receive another package with an ID card, a few simple clothes, a bag, and a few instructions, explaining any further actions you may need to take. We welcome you to Valencia with open hands and hope you enjoy your visit.
Yours in writing,
Declyn Artur Edwards'

The letter ended with the following words "Valencia, the future is in your hands."

(Thanks!)

Zanna had received a letter earlier that day from the man that visited her junkyard. First other human in like a month. She wasn't quite sure how long a few days to them was. Was it 5 days? 3 days? The number of days were limitless, and frankly Zanna didn't like to wait. She had already made a list of inventions she would need to take with, along with blueprints and tools. No one had her tools, and she wouldn't use anyone else's tools cause that's how Zanna rolled.
