OOC: To Become One OOC

A very professional looking man was standing on the small platform at the head of the small meeting hall. He had short brown hair, and was wearing a black vest over a plain white shirt.

"I already know what you're all thinking." he began. "You're expecting Hell on Earth as soon as you step back through those doors. Well, as the director of this facility, I'm here to tell you that you would be right, if you'd been carted off to any training facility other than mine."

He paused for a moment to smile.

"You see, I have total control over almost every aspect of this facility that would have been delegated to the 'higher ups.' Which means I get to make it all the more comfortable for you. Now, approximately none of you are probably wondering why, but I'll tell you anyways." He leans on the podium and his grin widens.

"Because I still get the best results."

Straightening back up, he continues. "You may not have noticed on the way in, thanks to the blindfolds, but we have ourselves a quaint little town here, devoted entirely to you, our 'guests.' You're free to use the facilities as you wish, and all new recruits get three days to acclimate to the new surroundings, get comfortable, socialize, that sort of thing. Now, you're free to go, your apartments are just next door. Just don't get uppity, and no one will have to end up dead!"

Stepping back from his podium, the man turned and began walking away.

"Three days, everyone, and then we'll start working on those results."

Tagg looked around after the speech and sighed grabbing his bags. Standing up he walked to the apartment building avoiding people. Hearing a bark and feeling a thump on his head from two front paws hitting his head. Sighing tagg looked up seeing ranger looking down panting in his face his tounge rolling in an out. Not even wanting to stuff him back into his back pack Tagg left him like that. Reaching the apartments tagg looked for his apartment.

Eira quietly stood and left, toting her little bag as she headed straight for the apartment building. After a short search, she came up to the door bearing a card with her name on it. She began rummaging through her bag for the key they had issued her.

[Taggerung]

Reaching his apartment Tagg noticed a white haired girl like him who seemed to have avoided people to settle in a couple doors down. Looking at her something about her felt odd like it didn't compute in his mind. Shrugging tagg made a small flame charring a rough cartoon picture on it of Tagg and Ranger on it. "Does it look good boy." Tagg said smelling the charred wood and heard a bark of approval. Ranger put his paw on the door.

[GalonOer]

As Eira pulled out her key, she felt a strange sensation, and looked over to see a red haired boy tracing a flame across his door. Averting her eyes, she quickly unlocked the door and stepped in.

Noah stood up clapping, his eyes a bit teary. He had never heard such an eloquent speech before – in fact, before today, he had not heard a speech; so standards were on the low side. He usually skipped ceremonies and jumped over to the actual celebration or eating as the case maybe. Not this time, with the threat of being killed or injured high, Noah wisely stayed put. He inhaled and looked at roof trying not to let his tears show. This place was better than the last place that he was on. Noah then scratched his head trying to remember what the last place looked like – it was all so vague. He shook his head forgetting the idea. After a while, Noah walked around pompously, hands on pocket and nodding to everyone who would look in his direction. The black vested man was mistaken on one point, Noah was not a guest he was the VIP.

[Taggerung]

Walking into his room he let Ranger down letting him get situated with the room. Exploring the apartment Tagg out his clothes away and filled the book cases with books. Grabbing his families ring he put it on smiling. Tagg sighed and poured a small bowl of food for the pup before going out to explore alone.

April watched the man finish his speech and leave. She was definitely glad that this place wasn’t what the rumors said it would be. Of course this was still a prison in her mind, but at this point she would just have to make the best of it. She pulled out a key and a crumpled up piece of paper from her pocket. The guards at the entrance had given these to her once she entered the building, but she didn’t have a chance to look at them until now. The paper turned out to be a map of the apartment building. Glancing at the number on the key and the map, it didn’t take long for her to find out that her room was on the second floor. I’d better get moving I guess. She sighed, picking up her bags and heading out the door.

The apartment turned out to be bigger than she thought it would be, although it was rather empty. There was a bed and a closet to put her things. Another thing she spotted was a desk, which was in the corner of the room for whatever reason. Not really feeling like unpacking her things at the moment, she just dropped her bag right where she stood and closed the door, before plopping down on the bed.

Rowan was staring blankly at the man as he gave his speech. Some parts he understood, other parts he zoned out of. He was still a bit groggy from the drugs that were given to him so he could stop fighting. The blinding light of the sun still hurt his eyes a bit after being blindfolded for so long. After the speech was over, he just stood there for awhile, still absent from thought. Rowan soon snapped out of it and looked down at his hand that held the key to his apartment. He looked around and saw the other "prisoners" had gone to their rooms or wherever they felt like going. Rubbing his eyes, he knew that he couldn't fight it any longer. He was here to stay and they had the technology to sedate him and keep him from using his TK. Still having a blank look in his eyes, he turned and headed towards the apartment building, his styled up blonde hair shinning in the sun. His skin was really fair and soft and he had soft features. His eyes were a crystal blue, despite the emptiness from them at the moment.

Rowan approached the doors to the building and without raising a finger, he used his ability to open the doors, them closing behind him as he was inside. He still looked forward and climbed the stairs until he was at his room. Rowan looked down and put the key in the lock and unlocked the door, going inside and using his power to close the door behind him without even looking at it. He sat his stuff on the floor and looked around. It was very spacious and it was a very nice apartment. It had everything he needed. Rowan walked over to the full sized bed they were given and sat down, looking straight ahead at the window. All of a sudden, it was like a rush of emotions hit him as he started bawling, crying into his hands. He was so scared and he didn't want to be there. Rowan didn't know what to do.

Noah was standing on the rooftop of the apartment building, hands on pocket, one leg on the ledge the other firmly planted on the deck, his coat was flapping with the wind, he leaned out to look at the new arrivals. They look small….like ants. Noah nodded, this was how things should be – little people looking up to stare at his greatness. Though no one was really looking at him, Noah smiled at the idea. But he was not at the rooftop to enjoy his greatness - such was only for the vain, and Noah was not vain. He was; just as greatness was. Noah was at the rooftop for a much more important task - he was observing patience. He tried opening each door at the apartment building but to no avail. He even tried approaching several people to ask, but each one avoided him or even closed the door on his face. So he waited patiently at the rooftop for someone to approach him, hand him his key and inform him of the location of his room – no one did. But that fact did not mean that someone won’t come. So, at the moment, he was observing patience.

After a moment, Noah giggled as he realized that his room must be immense and lavish to require such an amount of time to prepare. Noah decided to return inside in case the attendants had finished preparing his room. It would be the height of discourtesy for the attendants to search for a VIP like him.
