The Glade (B)

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

A huge concrete expanse.

Jonathan struggled out if the box and laid on the ground not ready to talk to the couple of others there.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder looked at the two boys who had just stumbled out of the box. One looked ready to barf and the other just really confused. Ryder went up to them and said quietly, "Hey."

[[deleted user]]

Ryder jumped when another boy stumbled out of the box. His face showed surprise and confusion as well as annoyance. He knew he wasn't a people person, so to speak, and getting thrown together with them was starting to get overwhelming.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

Jonathan took a big breath and stand up, now that his eyes were adjusted to the sun he could see. "Hello!" he called out to the couple of people in the Glade."I'm Jonathan. And what do you think we should do?"

[[deleted user]]

"Ryder."He said shortly and shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe look around some more."

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

Jonathan nodded to them and looked around. "Exporing sounds good. Care to join me?"

[[deleted user]]

"Of course." Ryder said, starting to walk away.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

Jonathan caught up quickly, and stuck his hand out in greeting,knowing he'd done it before, but not remember who's hand he shook. "It's nice to meet you."

[[deleted user]]

Ryder took his hand with a firm grip. "You too." While he was shaking Jonathan's hand, he looked at his arms for the first time. He noticed he was average skin tone and had white scars snaking up his arms. His eyebrows raised at the sight, but shrugged it off for now since he didn't know what had happened.

[[Coco]]

Marik blinked as his eyes adjusted to the bright light. He looked up and saw a few other guys near him. "Where are we?" he muttered.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder turned his head and muttered "Holy crap." To himself as yet another guy came out of the box.

[[Coco]]

Marik slowly stood up, keeping his eyes on the other people.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder turned and answered his question, for what felt like the millionth time, including when he asked himself. "We have no idea where we are or how we got here, other than that box."

[[Coco]]

"Oh," Marik said. He took a step forward. "Is there anything here? Food?" he asked hopefully.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder smiled a bit and said, "I'm wondering the same thing and we're just about to find out." With that, he turned on his heel and started to head toward the big building he noticed earlier.

[[Coco]]

Marik eagerly followed the boy.

[[deleted user]]

"Oh. I'm Ryder by the way." He told him as they walked.

[[Coco]]

"I'm Marik." He glanced down at his feet.

[[deleted user]]

They soon neared the building.
((To the topic homestead, I think.))

Joanthan came out of the weird little building and went near the elevator. He sat down, trying to process everything.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder followed Jonathan and stood by himself near a wall. His brain was spinning, lost and confused. He had a strange urge to take a knife to his arm for clarity. Ryder fought it off and said, "We need to do something."

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

"Yeah. Something. But what?" Jonathan laid down and stared at the sky. Eh sat up suddenly. "Wait! The doors....whats out there?"

[[deleted user]]

"I have no idea." Ryder comments.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

"Maybe...answers.....people....something." Jonathan yelled in frustration.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder sighs. He didn't yell. Ryder was quiet and still in his anger.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

Jonathan laid back down He concentrated in breathing. In, out. In out, in out.

[[deleted user]]

"I think so. But I wouldn't fancy being out there in the dark." Ryder shrugged.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

"I don't know."

[[Coco]]

Marik sat down, confused. "I guess we'll find out later. But we should look around if it does."

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

"agreed."

[[deleted user]]

Blake stumbled out of the box, cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted "Hey! You over there! Are you people?" at Marik, Ryder and Jhonathan.

[[deleted user]]

Ryder jumped and turned. "Um. Yes." He said, walking over to the new boy.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱, You are a shuck faced shank]

"Last time I checked." Jonathan replied walking over.

[[Coco]]

Marik followed them, warily eyeing the new guy.

((Third book is amazing!))

[[deleted user]]

Blake looked at the others gathered there, then roared with laughter. "Well, I'm sure we'll get along just fine. Ohh, good gods, this is going to be fun, depending on what you think is fun. Well. Let's explore."

[[Coco]]

Marik crossed his arms. "Already have. Feel free to go alone."

[[deleted user]]

"Wonderful. And I don't much like your tone, whatsyourface." Blake looked pointedly at Marik, still smiling. "Names. Names. Do any of you know why I can't remember anything except my first name?"

[[deleted user]]

Blake dropped the smile, picked William up and threw him backwards through the air.

[[Coco]]

Marik narrowed his eyes at the new guy. "What he said was true. No need to get violent."

[[deleted user]]

Blake stared straight at Malik. "If anyone needs to change his attitude, it's him. I'm not going to put up with rudeness, and I may just have to break that puny little spine of yours."

[[Coco]]

"Someone has anger issues," Marik muttered under his breath, turning around.

[[deleted user]]

"And excellent hearing."

[[Coco]]

Marik shrugged. "At least you admit it."

[[deleted user]]

"Yeah, I do. That's probably more than you could say for yourself if you were me."

[[deleted user]]

Blake watched William, then saw something jutting out of his arm, like a chunk of bone. He walked after him, slowly and carefully.

[[Coco]]

"Like I'd want to be you," Marik said to his retreating figure. He turned to go into the maze.

[[deleted user]]

Blake said softly to William. "Hey. Sorry about that. But, dude, look at your arm! There's bone sticking out."

[[Coco]]

Marik nodded, disappearing into the maze.
