[IC] Fractions: A New Age

[TheLastRunaway]

Your parents have broken out in to a panick and begin to rush you to your room to pack a few things and no many times you ask about what is going on they ignore you and avoid eye contact. Soon your parents break out in tears as they've shoved clothes and other items in a bag for you and zip it up leaving it on the bed. A knock comes to the door before three large elementals dressed in dark colors rush as you, before you can say anything a bag is thrown over your head and a loose power inside quickly drifts you to sleep.

....

When you open your eyes a small automated robot begins to scan you, repeating your name and physical appearance. It pulls out your hand and ticks you with a sharp needle and then collects a sample of your blood reciting your elements before you enter the large lobby..

A large intimidating man stand in the front of the room on a stack of broken furniture:

"You will call me Z, and I now. Own. You. You may not leave, you may not speak to anyone on the outside and you will do everything your told. No one is going to baby sit you so figure this out on your own." His smile is wicked but it still feels like a comfortable welcome. "Welcome to your new home.. Nuxvar." He steps down and disappears behind the rubble leaving you with the rest of the group.

James glanced around as he awoke, then after the man named Z finished speaking, he chuckled, and mumbled, "Good...I don't need a babysitter..." He looked around at the rest of the group. "Well...first I need to figure out who I can trust..." he mumbled to himself.

[Emoteen]

Tat
I stand in the room quietly, not wearing shoes, just a torn pair of jeans and a baggy T-shirt.
I move away from the rubble into a small area with a nice tree, as I climb up it I find a nice spot to sit and relax, then look over the crowd of people.

[XxLyraxX]

Celia stared up at the scary man before she slowly sank down to sit on the ground when he left, mind still stuck on her parent's tear-stained faces and the words Z had spoken echoed in her head. She drew her knees to her chest and buried her face in them, not wanting the others to see her tears as they began to streak down her face however her shoulders began to shake slightly and ruined her plan of not appearing weak.

[Emoteen]

Tat
I observe a few people crying openly but I see one girl hiding it, semi-well to be honest.
I hop down from the tree and kneel down next to her.
"There's nothing wrong with showing tears."
I murmur softly, gently resting my hand on her back, not in an intrusive way, but an attempt at comforting.

[chukklehed]

Caroline looked around. She was doing alright, since this situation wasn't much different from her home life, but some of the others weren't as tough. One girl in particular caught her attention, and she walked over. She got there at the same time as one of the guys, and knelt down with him. "Hey, don't worry about it." She said after him. "I'm sure everything will be fine." She smiled brightly and held out her hand. "My name's Caroline."

[XxLyraxX]

Celia jumped when she felt a hand lay upon her back. She looked up, her bright blue eyes shiny with tears. She blurrily saw a figure next her then another one approach. She wiped at her face and saw that it was a guy and a girl. She then quickly wiped her face free of anymore tears but she felt that she could start crying again at any moment. She gave them both a weak smile. "Be that as it may. My father always told me that tears were a sign of weakness. and I'm Celia." She said in a soft voice, voice cracking slightly because of her recent crying.

[arowne97]

James turned to look at Celia as he heard what she said. "Weakness. That's not true. In fact, tears just show that you actually have feelings..." He sighed. "I've always learned to push aside my feelings...that survival is the only thing that matters..."

[Emoteen]

Tat
"It's been my experience that parents don't always know what they're talking about."
I say with a light smirk, plopping down on the dirt next to her.
"For example, my father said nothing good could ever come from being a Phorris."
I say, squeezing a clump of dirt in my hands, then blowing on it, dust flying away to reveal a small dirt sculpture of Celia sitting against an oak, sleeping.
"And yet, here's this."

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin watched, studying people with an unemotional expression on his face. While he would miss his family, this would be a gentle change. He turned away, planning on exploring the area. If anything, he is more angry about being captured in general then being forced away from his family. Him and his family were never particularly close.

[chukklehed]

"Phorros huh?" Caroline said, sitting on Celia's other side. "That's neat. I'm Elpis." She put her hand palm down on the damp earth near her and pulled it up again, bringing a blob of water up with it. She turned it upright and twirled her fingers, creating a mini whirlpool on her hand. "What about you Celia?"

[XxLyraxX]

Celia gave the statue Tat made a awed look. "That's amazing!" She said, giving him a small smile. She glanced at Caroline before she smiled again and brushed her fingers over the ground. Water droplets rose into the air before it formed into a stripe which then began to spiral around Caroline's whirlpool. "I'm Elpis as well." She answered as her water whirled around, doing twirls and loops in the air in front of her.

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx still continued to stand farther from the form group that had surrounded the girl who soon crumbled in to a melt down, but who wouldn't in this situation. She continued to take slow deep breaths even though she could feel her heart in her throat, her poor sisters screams continued to echo in her thoughts as she remembered who last brutal moments in the only place she knew. She clenched her fist and bit her lip as she continued to blend herself with the scenery while she looked around the rest of the room, everyone was different, she could sense everyone's personalities and knew there would be collisions here and there. She stepped forward to try to introduce herself to the boy who was closest to her, his eyes were deep blue while his short hair was jet black. Yeah right, like she was going to be able to talk to him.. or anyone at that.

[arowne97]

James looked at each of them and sighed, forming a ball of flame in his hand. "I'm Viper." He manipulated the fire to enter the whirlpool, and somehow, without going out or turning the whirlpool to steam, swirled with the whirlpool to make it half fire and half water.

[Emoteen]

Tat
"You can keep it."
I say with a light smile,then stand up and stretch.
"Well my work here is done, I'll be seeing you guys around."
I say as I turn and walk away, my feet leaving prints as I walk.

[chukklehed]

Caroline grinned wider as Celia's watersnake twisted around her whirlpool. With a sideways glance she clenched her fist, compressing the whirlpool into a small sphere, then flung her hand open. As the ball expanded, it froze into ice, eventually spreading the chill to Celia's water as it touched, and not putting out the flame. The end result was a kind of ice star with the ice rope twisted around it and a flame in the center. "Personally I prefer ice to water."

[makarov]

James just nodded to the Z guy and turned to Hope, his only real friend and the only creature he really trusted, "Looks like we might be safe here Hope. You hungry girl?" James reached into his bag and pulled out some old bread and split it in half before scraping the mold off, "Still good huh girl?" Hope wagged her tail wildly and whined a little for the bread, "here have some you spoiled thing." James let out a little laugh and handed Hope the bread who accepted it with joy. James's eyes caught a group of kids consoling each other, James didn't quite understand this notion...why didn't the girl just swallow it and keep moving? Why did the others go to her aid right away? why did they trust each other so easily? when they started using their elements James just scoffed and spoke just loud enough for them to hear, "Elpis...bound by the jar that holds it...nothing like Lucen...free and open...and wild." James just sat down next to Hope, "Owns us huh? I wonder if he can keep a tornado contained?" Hope whined loudly, "Hey i was just kidding jeez."

[chukklehed]

Caroline looked back at the boy. Melting the ice star again, she reformed it as a dagger. "Want to see just how bound we Elpis are, dog boy? I wonder how your tornado would stand up against a tsunami." Twirling the knife in her hand, she grinned dangerously.

[XxLyraxX]

Celia glanced at Caroline. "I'm not very good with ice yet but I can do fog and mist pretty well." She said. She then looked, wide-eyed between Caroline and another boy. Oh dear. She hoped they didn't start fighting. That wouldn't help their situation at all at the moment.

[Emoteen]

Tat
I glance over my shoulder and see the knife in Caroline's hand, and follow her gaze to a boy with his dog.
"Shit." I murmur softly, recognizing him as a Lucen, most of the time, wind and water don't get along very well.
