Tami walks into the dorms and crawls onto a bed pulling her legs in tight to her chest.
Amber easily finds her way to the dorms
Tom finds her way to the dorms, and smiles at the girl she sees there. "Amber, right?"

Piper walked in a picked a bed in the far corner, and hid herself in the corner, her eyes darted across the room, she was smaller than everybody else and this was terrifying...
Emy sighed as she dropped her bag by the door, no one looked at her, it was already way different here than at the dauntless dorms. She smiled at a smaller girl in the corner, although Emy preferred to hang with the popular group she decided she should focus on making a friend first.
Piper buried herself deeper in the corner, she was taught to not clears attention and she did her best not to.
Emy noticed how the girl seemed to disappear into the wall, Emy walked over to her. "Hi, I'm Emy." She flashed a smile.
Piper looked away and whispered ever so quietly, "I'm Piper.." She played with the end of her hair nervously.
"So where are you from? I'm Dauntless born, Dauntless raised." Emy practically sang the words.
"A-Abnegation.." Piper shook slightly and looked up her shocking blue eyes practically lighting up the small dark space.
Amber was secretly listening.
Emy, seeing how shy the girl was looked over to a girl who was silently reading on her bed. "What about you? Where are you from?"
"Good going Piper.." Piper whispered under her breath and looked down at her grey pants and blue blouse, she wanted to keep something of her old faction with her..
Emy looked away, she sat on the bed and fumbled with her bag, she pulled out a small sleek pocket knife, it was the only thing she'd kept from dauntless. She glanced at the blue blouse that hung on a hook, she pulled it on leaving her black skirt and necklace. She pulled out her makeup bag and offered some to Piper, "What do ya say stiff? Can I give you a makeover?"
"I-I guess.." Piper bit her lip and sat up slightly.
Emy slowly took out her black eye liner, she steadied her hand and spoke softly. "Keep your eyes open, otherwise this could hurt."
Piper kept her eyes open, "what is that?"
Amber was horrified at the thought of eyeliner. She only wore minimal and you couldn't see it
"It's called eye liner just hold still." Emy drug the tiny pencil across the underneath part of the eyelid. Once finished she glanced at Amber, "Want me to do you next?" Emy pulled out a tube of mascara.
Piper blinked when she finished, she looked around the dorm and sighed.
"Mmhmm, better already." Emy smiled, giving a teasing wink.
Piper rolled her eyes, "how would I know? I haven't seen myself in the mirror since I was five.."
"What?" Emy cried, shocked, "How can you even stand it? No mirror means you don't get to see how good you look." Emy smiled striking a pose.
Piper shrugged, "I got used to it.." She remembered back to when she looked in the mirror and noticed her features in the mirror and smiled, he brother ran over to Piper and reprimanded her..That led to her thinking of her brother and how much she yearned for him, her face hid in her knees as she started to cry..
"What's wrong? Was it something I said? I'm so sorry." Emy said hugging Piper.
Piper shook her head, "it's nothing..." She she rested her Ching on her knees and looked away.
"Piper... You can tell me, we're friends now!" Emy said he happily. She flopped down on the blue bed, and sighed. She missed Dauntless and her boyfriend Eric, but she wasn't sure if she missed anything else about it, maybe the cake.
"I miss my brother..he was everything to me..he transferred to Dauntless.." Piper looked up at the ceiling and hiccuped.
"Oh, Piper, I'm so sorry. That's not-" Emy cut herself off, about to explain how awful Dauntless initiation was, and how you were lucky if you survived through it, but she bit her lip and decided to keep it to herself, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." Is all she said.
Piper ran a hand through her hair, "I'm gonna explore the compound.." She got off the bed and walked out.
"Ok, are you sure you want to go alone," Emy bit her lip, "I can come with... If... if you want." She gnawed on her lip.
Piper shook her head, "I-I just want to go by myself.."((Have her follow anyway.))
((Ok)) "Ok, I understand." Emy replied cautiously.
Piper walked down the hall, her shoulder dragging across the wall, when she finally found an empty room she walked in and locked the door. She screamed out of frustration and anger. She slid down the wall and started sobbing.
Ethelind stalks into the Erudite Initiate's Dormitory. Under her arm, she has clutched, a book of A Tale of Two Cities, looking about her, warily, before striding over to one of the spare bunks and leaving down her bags and equipment. She sets a small moonstone; a token from her mother, who she would not be seeing for the time being, on the dresser and smiled to herself. She had always wanted to pick Erudite. To change factions, never occurred to her. She breathed in the fresh and familiar scent of home. Her fingers gripped the blankets over the mattress of the bed, as she lay back against the covers. With a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes and took a silent moment to think over her choices.
Ethelind felt her eyes travel downwards towards the book, sitting propped open on her lap. It was of Dicken's, one of her favourite authors of all time. She had read his other books, and appreciated hem greatly. A scoff escaped her throat. It was a horrible, snorting sound, in the back of her mouth. To think I could ever leave this place. Leave these things behind, she thought gradually. Would she have ever been able to do this at say - Dauntless? Would she have to leave her books behind? What would they do to her if she did? Would they let her bring her knowledge and power with her?
No.. she thought eventually. Probably not..
Her hands trailed the long, smooth surface of the walls; the chipped cracks in the foundation. She smiled serenely, and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
And the people here... she pondered, My family... My blood... Would I be able to meet other people like that at Dauntless? Could I really get on with those Amity girls who treated life like some sort of game to them. Like it's not worth anything. Throwing it away; being kind to others. It's just lies in pretty packaging. Knowledge she concluded distantly, Knowledge is power..
Ethelind crouched down on the floor, and flicked her trunk open, revealing a set of leather-bound books. How could I not miss this? Book had been the foundation of her life for so long, just like cement was the foundation of a building; and without it, it would fall, but surely.
She sighed again, and looked around the room. No... The tension left her shoulders, slightly, just slightly. The Dauntless would probably notice, though... NO... That wasn't where she belonged... It was here. Always here; and gradually, with her book, leather-bound, just like the others; a hardback, she noticed, dropping to her side, and laying spread wide open with its pages; a crumpled, abused tangle of mess; worn from years of use, and it's broken spine. The tension was leaving her shoulders, now, she noted, with relief. She was falling asleep... She was not selfish... She was not brave... Not Divergent... Or Dauntless.. She wasn't Amity... Nor Abnegation. She was an Erudite. She was better than that... She was an Erudite.

Emy slowly followed Piper down the hall, keeping her feet quiet along the stone floors. She heard a door close and ran up to it just as she heard the lock twist and a frustrated scream from inside. Emy slid down the side of the door and sat on the floor. Then she remembered something and pulled a bobby pin out of her perfectly set hair. She quickly shoved the pin in and twisted until she heard the lock click open. She hesitantly opened the door, feeling as though she was intruding. "Piper?" She said quietly peaking her head around the door.
"Unless you're Tyler go away!" Piper had her ears covered so her voice was only a deep mumble.
"Piper...." Emy sighed she had never been good at cheering people up, "Look, I don't know how it feels to leave someone, but I do know how it feels to lose someone. My grandmother was killed by dauntless because of her old age, I never forgot her, that's why I'm here now, I couldn't stand the thought of being executed just because you're old." She sighed again willing herself not to cry, "I know how you never get over missing someone, but you do move on. You have to eventually, I had no one to help me through it, but you... you have me. We're friends Piper. I know it's hard now. But it gets easier, trust me." She reached out to hug Piper but then folded her arms in an awkward angle across her chest.
