((yeah, basically. They start here, then their moved to the training center. At the end of the day, they get their groups and are moved to sort of like a dorm place for each team))
((this is exciting! So they were normal before the experiment, and now they have powers, correct? Tell me ixf this works.))Carter: My eyes open partly, and all I see is a blinding white. I groan, then desperately try to open my eyes. When I do, i find myself in a vast white pristine room with several other kids. Everyone is in a white hospital bed evenly spaced apart, and girls and boys aged 10 ish to 19 it seemed were in here. I couldn't remember how I got here, and it wasn't a dream.
Silver: Most people looked still asleep. I had been awake first, surveying the area. Where the hell was I? I 'd demand an answer if everyone wasn't asleep. I see a boy wake up. "Hey." I whisper. "Where the hell are we?"
Carter: I'm startled by a younger gurl in the bed next to mine. "I- I don't know. A hospital?" I scratch my head confused.
Odette's eyes fluttered open. She didn't recognize anything around her. She didn't know where she was. She didn't know anything. The room around her was threatening, at least to her, and white and pristine. No dead people around here. Yet.
Silver: "Why the hell would we be in a hospital?" This was pathetic. Why was I here? No one knew the answer- but I really needed one. Another girl stirrs. "Why are we all here? ANybody remember anything? You know- why we're here, who put us here..."
Morticia stood off to the side, her expression not reflecting the tumultuous emotions working mentally. She couldn't quite remember how she got to this place, or where this place even was. Her head throbbed painfully, like an accumulation of things burrowing their way into the back of her head. When she turned at the sound of the other waking up, the throbbing shifted to her frontal lobe. She rubbed her temples silently, observing the situation.
Odette sighed. "Well, we're not dead..." she mumbled. "There aren't any ghosts around here..." she didn't know where she was. Only that she wasn't surrounded by dead people. That was reassuring, right?
Carter: "I'm gonna find out." I flipped back the covers and carefully yanked the IV out of my skin. I cringed, then rubbed the hole quickly. I stepped gingerly on the cold tile floor, and wandered around to check things out.
Silver: "Checked there already." I frowned. We were all wearing wristbands of different colors. Mine was red. It had a barcode and a serial number on it. "What is this thing? I'm no item to be labeled."
Carter: "here, let me see," I examined hers, then mine. ((also red?)) "this is way weird. No windows either, we must be underground or something. This is shady."
((yup))
Shade: I hear my name somewhere. I was awake already, but I don't make a sound.
Silver: "Tell me about it." I survey the area again. Where was I before this? I can't think of anything.
Shade: I hear my name somewhere. I was awake already, but I don't make a sound.
Silver: "Tell me about it." I survey the area again. Where was I before this? I can't think of anything.
Odette frowned at the bracelet on her wrist. It had a barcode. "What kind of sick people put a barcode on a person?" Odette asked herself, sitting up and pulling the IV out of her skin. She wasn't going to let them baby her, even if she was dying. Dying didn't scare Odette.
Carter: I try to snap off her wristband, but it's no use. "weird. There's alot of security cameras too. Why would there be so many security cameras at every angle in a hospital? Do you remember anything before this?"
((Do they know they have powers yet?))Morticia heard them going on about wristbands and barcodes. She glanced down at her own wrist to see one just as the others described. Her brows furrowed with thought, and she stepped out into the view of others, her headache growing increasingly worse with the proximity of the others. She dragged her IV carrier behind her, figuring it would be no use to just let the medication drip out.
((lolz ya))
Silver: I shake my head, looking annoyed. "Nothing. Well, I remember who I am and all that...just not how I got here. I'm assuming that's the same for you?"
Silver: I shake my head, looking annoyed. "Nothing. Well, I remember who I am and all that...just not how I got here. I'm assuming that's the same for you?"
Odette frowned. "This isn't a hospital. Hospitals don't put a lot of people in the same room for sanitary purposes." Odette knew that for a fact. This wasn't a hospital.Ariana and Aurora woke up at the same time. Aurora, being the quiet, collected one, looked around in fear. Ariana frowned. "Any idea where we are, Aura?"
"None." Aurora replied. "None at all."
Carter: "yeah. Nothing at all." I wNdered the perimeter of the room, looking for a door, but it appeared that we were trapped inside.
Jay: I look around. What was going on? I tap the girl next to me. "What's happening?"
((Aura maybe?))
((Aura maybe?))
Silver: "How did we even get in here?" I mutter under my breath. The buzz of people waking up fills the room. I stand up and address the room. "Okay, is everyone up? Does anybody know what the hell is going on?" I say loudly.
((lol idk, some people put in their history that they already did...How about they all already had strange connections to their powers, but they only officiallly get them here?))
Aurora frowned. "I don't know. It appears we're in some sort of care unit... not a hospital, because we're all together... maybe some sort of experiment?" Aurora frowned. She liked experiments. In science class, not in real life. Ariana looked to her sister. "Aura, look. There's wristbands." Ariana pointed out. She tried to take hers off. "They won't come off."
Odette was still trying to put everything together. Where had she been before this?
Carter: I felt cold and thirsty, but immediately that sensation faded. I felt a weird feeling like when I swallowed beach or pool water, the water burning my Lungs. My knees collapsed under me, and I found it hard to breathe. I felt water take me under like the surf at the beach, and I fell flat forward onto the water.
Morticia winced when someone raised their voice. The incline in volume sent her mind reeling in pain, which in turn activated her power. Her eyes glazed over to be a milky white, as though she were blind. She felt blind, as everything was dark. She took a moment to adjust herself, head raising into different angles to find even a glimpse of light. There was an odd screaming sound coming from in front of her, which she was unaware of being an illusion that she had created. Someone's fear.
Jay: I raise an eyebrow at the girl on her bed. Oh, someone wants to play leader. I clear my throat and stand up as well. "I don't think anybody knows what happened." I tell the girl. "Right?" i survey the crowd.
Odette raised her eyebrows skeptically, but her brain was still wrapped around where she was. Aurora frowned. "Aria. I feel like I'm living in the past. My head is seeing things that I've never seen before... Things that have already happened..." Aurora closed her eyes.
Ariana frowned. "Well, you're probably just remembering stuff...""No. I mean stuff I never lived in the first place. Scientists. IVs. Lifelines. Heart monitors. That stuff. I've never lived through any of that. It's not a memory." Aurora replied.
Odette rolled her eyes. So some people wanted to play leader, eh? This would get interesting.
Carter: "what the hell happened!" I sit up, breathing heavily. I was doused in water, and I felt like I had drowned.
Shade: I stay seated on my bed, surveying everyone's agitated voices, growing louder and louder.
Morticia was still blind, unable to see what was going on. What she could do was hear, and it was getting on her damn nerves. "Shut up," she shouted, wincing again. This time, the blackness faded and she could see again. She blinked to make sure that the sight wasn't temporary.
Odette frowned. "Does anyone else see that?" she asked softly, looking at a shadowy figure in the corner. If Odette didn't know better, she would have thought it was a ghost. That was silly. Ghosts didn't exist, right?
Official: I get another message. I should go in soon. I go on the loudspeaker of the room. "Attention, attention all. Please remain on your beds. You will be given instructions shortly following this announcement."
Carter: "I felt like I was- drowning! Did someone dump water on me or something?" shook my head, water flying everywhere. "I'm a good swimmer, but that's the first time I've felt panic in water," I said worried. ((where's the panicky character? The Jamie, lol))
Silver: My eyes widen at the annoucement, but I turn back to Carter. "No one did anything. Why are you wet? How the hell did you even get water?"
Aurora jumped. "Aria, let's get out of here. Fast. If there's a way in, there has to be a way out, doesn't there?" she asked rhetorically. "Otherwise they built us inside without doors, but that's unlikely. No oxygen, no life, no food. So there has to be a way out."Ariana laughed. "There's a rebellious attitude." or at least rebellious by Aura's standards.
Official: I'm lowered through a tube down to the center of the room. "Greetings. Everyone please remain calm and stay in your beds. I will explain everything." I say tonelessly.
Silver: "You'd better." I say, glaring at him. "Why are we here? Who the hell are you?"
Silver: "You'd better." I say, glaring at him. "Why are we here? Who the hell are you?"
Carter: "well no shit someone poured water on me, who was it?" I stagger to get up, shakily walking back to my bed.
"There's our exit." Aurora grumbled. "Not likely." she replied. Odette wasn't listening. She was too busy staring at the shadowy figure behind the tube. That had to be a ghost. But ghosts weren't real, were they?
