Okay, cool, most of us are here. So, just for reference as to the setting, here are the locations and a bit of information;
Locations ~
The Dome: The Dome is a large glass environment that contains a forested area, as well as an area that resembles a plain. This is the area where the test subjects go for their "out time" as well as to test out their new abilities and exercise. Scattered around The Dome are picnic tables where the test subjects can sit and talk. The Dome is also stocked with birds and small mammals as well as fish in the few ponds.
Cafeteria: As for this room, it's all in the name. This is the part of the building where the hybrids go to get food at three designated times a day, though there is a "bar" that holds fruit that is always available.
The Lab: The Lab is a rather large part of the building where the test subjects are tested upon. This is also the area where they go if they are experiencing health issues. The Lab appears to be a regular hospital ward, just a bit more organized.
The Aquarium: In the Aquarium is a normal pool that has a maximum depth of 11" ft. There is also a much more extended "pool" with glass walls, and man-made caves and dips. This area is generally reserved for the subjects with marine genes, but is occasionally open to the others.
Solitary: The Solitary room is a locked room with large windows and baby blue walls. It also features a bed, and a few books on a night stand as well as a couch. This room is for more aggressive subjects, or those who have been irritated and deemed dangerous.
There are many other rooms in the building, such as offices and the subjects' rooms, however the offices are usually completely off limits unless the doors are open.
Starter: Within the thick glass walls of the Dome, birds could be heard as they chirped and batted their wings. Every morning at around the same time, all of the subjects were sent to this part of the building to get in their morning training. The area they could see once going through the large sliding glass doors was littered with tall trees and picnic tables, as well as the occasional rabbit poking its head through a hole in the ground. Quite a few facility workers were gathered at one clear rectangle of the glass walls, the only part in which they could see in and the subjects could see out. So far everything was quiet, but then again, not everyone was there. Soon the loud beating of wings would be filling the air, as most of the subjects had been given wings.
Bren looked around, his eye ticking. He hadn't been out of the Solitary room for a while and had grown accustomed to the quiet.
Alright, there's the starter and a few bits of information. I hope you guys are happy with it so far! Something I believe I forgot to mention before, you may have two characters, just make sure you can keep up with them both if you decide to make another.))
Clove strode in like she owned the place, keeping her head arrogantly high. She wasn't exactly eager to start the day, but then again, was she ever? Her posture was impeccable, which had come from trying to figure out to master walking with her awkward new body. Lots of practicing. She didn't want to look stupid, especially since they had deemed her fit for some form of leadership. She gazed around the Dome leisurely, imagining she was somewhere (anywhere) else.
Alec sat in the lower branches of a tree with few leaves. His pupils were dilated to large circles as he waited for everyone to enter. Occasionally, he would shift around on the darkly colored tree branch, shaking his tan and white wings as he did so. The large appendages had taken a while to get used to, and he remembered laughing at birds that would shake their wings when they were cold or uncomfortable. Every now and then, he would realize that he was doing the same thing now and mentally laugh at himself. As the sliding doors opened, he watched as someone else entered the Dome. Watching the doors close he felt a tiny gust of cold air come at him from inside the facility, blowing around the tiny feathers just under his eyes. These appeared as freckles, tiny enough to be them. Off to the side, Alec noticed, sat Bren. He had been in Solitary for a while now, and today was one of his first days out.
I don't want to be here! The panicked voice in Bren's head screamed, he looked around in fear as he heard a large crash. Calming down after seeing that it was just an idiot punching a boulder.
Clove's eyes wandered over to Bren, noticing that he hadn't been around in a while. She wondered what he had done to get put in solitary confinement. Her gaze skimmed over him, trying to figure out what was with him.
Alec hopped down from the branch, which was only a few feet from the ground. His tightened his wings to his back, letting out a puff of air as he began walking forward. Nearing the place where Bren was sitting, Alec crouched down a few feet from him. He still had little to no idea what Bren had done to get into Solitary, and didn't want to find out from personal experience. Alec's pupils dilated to slits as he began speaking, "Are you okay out here?" He asked, putting his hands on the ground in front of him to help keep his balance. His wings were heavy, and he didn't feel like falling onto his back.
Alec's eyes floated around the Dome once more before he directed them back to Bren, waiting for a response.
Bren was lost in thought for a moment but snapped back to reality when Alec asked his question. Bren stared at him, his stare screaming dead inside. "Who's ever okay in this world?" He asks softly, and quite creepily.
Alec gave a single nervous laugh, and plopped down fully on the ground. He winced as the tips of his wings -in which he could feel- hit the ground. The sound echoed in his ears and he cringed, the feeling of hollowness in the bones of his wings staying with him for a few moments more. He loved flying when he felt up to it, but the hollowness bothered him when he was aware of it. Sitting upright, he collected himself again. "Well, I would like to think that it could be quite a bit worse." Alec said, his tone optimistic.
"Could it though, I think not," Bren said memories from his time in solitary comforted him, his days there were quiet and left him alone. He liked alone.
Kelton quietly walked into the Dome to start his morning training. His doctors have deemed him as 'dangerous' just because he was mixed with a werewolf. In his opinion, it was just purely stupid. People shouldn't be judged on something they have no control over, and he had gotten experience of stuff like that first hand.
Clove glanced over at Kelton, trying to appear cool and disinterested as usual. She didn’t think she had seen him before.
Kelton didn't pay attention to anyone as he started his routine. It was the exact same thing, Every. Single. Day.
Alec raised his head in acknowledgement to Bren's words. True, at times, things were very stressful at the facility and Alec had been pushed to a point to where he thought he would kill over from exhaustion. But in his mind, that was just part of making him stronger and better prepared to deal with his new attributes. He had found a way of justifying most of the things that were done to him, and to the others in his own mind. Most others, he thought, would think of him as foolish for having this set up in his head. Alec's eyes flashed over to the doors once more as Kelton quietly padded into the Dome.
"His name is Kelton, I heard some doctors gossiping about him as they passed the room," Bren informed the person sitting across from him. "He is a werewolf/elemental hybrid."
Alec finally noticed Clove, seeing how she was apart from everyone. The girl held her head high, but cast a glance over at the people who were slowly streaming into the Dome. Confusion suddenly draped itself over Alec as he realized that he hadn't seen many of these people before, sure he was knowing of Bren, even if Bren didn't know him. But as for the others, Alec had little to no idea of so much as their names.
"Her name is Clove, she's some kind of royalty in the newbies." He says to Alec, Bren hears a lot of info from the room. "There are lots of new kids, I wonder what the doctors told their parents." Bren shudders, thinking of his dad and how happy he was to get rid of his insane child.
The feathers on Alec's wings ruffled and he wondered how he had missed the fact that there were so many new people. When he had first arrived, it seemed as though nothing could get past him when it came to news; now that wasn't quite the case. He turned to observe everyone that had come through the doors, his pupils rapidly dilating to different sizes, going from slits to circles as he changed the direction of his gaze.
"The doctors gave me music," Bren muttered, making sense in his own way. This statement meant that he wanted to change the topic, he shook his scaled wings. They had been folded on his back since he arrived in the dome, he didn't like the dome, there were too many people.
"They gave you music?" Alec echoed, unsure as to what Bren meant. He hadn't heard much music since he had come to the facility, and that made Bren's words all the more confusing.
Bren nodded his head viciously, his eyes still twitching. "They gave me music, they gave me this. See?" The small male said, holding up a small I-Pod that he had been clutching in his hands.
Alec's eyes widened and his pupils dilated to slits, showing more of their blue green color. He planted his chin in his hands, leaning forward. "Did they say why?" He asked, stretching out his wings behind him.
(Come on guys! Nose into Bren and Alec's conversation to make things a bit more active for you, if you feel like you aren't doing much right now. We've gotta keep this thing up and running -^- )
"They said it was a form of treatment, they also say I have schizophrenia. I don't really know what's going on." He says, happy that he got music.
(I'l be back in about an hour or so, but for now I have to go.)
See ya then, I probs won't be on a lot tomorrow.//
Sorry I’ve been kinda on and off today due to busyness and still am haha//
Clove saw an object in one of the boys’ hands. She wondered what they were talking about, so she sauntered over to them imperiously. “Hello, What are you boys talking about?” She asked, not minding if she seemed nosy.
