[IC] The Experiment

[KatherinWinter]

In a lab deep underground Vlad was about to allow his first group of experiments meet each other. He couldn't wait to begin working with them. He wanted to prove that his theory was worth funding. He had the guards bring everyone to the dinning room.

Lucius was in a deep sleep. No dreams, just peaceful, undisturbed sleep. He was tucked up nicely in his soft bed. It reminded him of when he had parents. When there was someone to say night to him before he drifted off. Lucius hadn't felt that security and comfort for ages. But now, he was still and silent, breathing softly into his pillow, his body resting from a long day. There really wasn't a better feeling that that. Until it was interrupted.

There was a bang on the door, and Lucius awoke with a start. "Get up and come with us to the diner.". Lucius felt groggy. He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, being careful not to knock over his water glass. He got changed out of his pajamas and into some decent clothes, took a sip of water, then found his glasses and put them on. Instantly his vision was much clearer. He had had these glasses for a few years.

Lucius opened the door and went gladly with the guards. They walked past more doors, and Lucius heard more people getting out of bed, moaning and dropping things on the floor. And at last, they reached the giant hall that was the diner.

Lee sat at his desk in the room he was assigned. All around him everything was in its place. The room did not have much in it as he did not really have much belongings. None the less, the room was clean and maintained so well it looked like no one had yet to move in. As he sat at his desk, he was building a house of cards. Slowly and efficiently, he had made the house up to the fifth story. The structure was fragile and it was truly a feat to get it to support its own weight. He was close to completing the fifth floor when a knock on the door sent the structure crashing to the ground.

Lee looked at the collapsed house of cards and shook his head like he was disappointed. Then without picking up his mess he went to answer the door. As he already knew, the guards were waiting for him. There were five guards waiting to take him where he needed to go. The leader of the group spoke, "Sir, your presence is requested in the dinning facility. Please come without incident."

Lee stepped out of his room immediately without going to get his shoes and politely motioned the guard to lead the way. He spoke calmly was he began to walk down the hall bare foot, "When have I ever been an trouble for you. Well, when I am not provoked." The guard did not reply. Lee and the guards did not speak again and they kept their silence until they got to the dining hall.

Even while standing barefoot in the middle of the dining hall, Lee scans over his peers in this experiment and makes judgments. He doubted that his first assessment of them would be an accurate one but he also expected them to disappoint him by being less that he imagined. He took a seat in a chair near one of the walls and began to wait for something interesting to happen.

Alastair sat in the dinning hall watching as others were being brought in he hadn't met them before, "This should be interesting." Alastair said to himself watching the door.

Cassandra was awake. She rarely slept a full night, especially not when the moon was full. She had been awake for the last few hours, eyes closed, and meditating. she smiled to herself, enjoying the simple pleasure of doing that. When she felt like she had had enough, she rose, and began to do some stretches. It was better then just sitting around, and she enjoyed the feeling of loosing the muscles.

She yawned, and ran her fingers through her hair, looking about. She didn't know what to do right now. She pondered that, before smoothing out the clothes she had changed into hours ago, a simple top, and shorts. She never got cold. she had gotten looks for that, but otherwise, managed to stay under the radar. Of course, until she didn't.

She sighed, memories washing over her. It took a great effort of will to push them aside, but she managed to do so as someone made their presence known by knocking. She yawned, and looked over, seeing someone. You need to come with me" She shrugged, and didn't put up any resistance, following along to the dining hall, where there were other people. She studied them, but otherwise didn't speak.

Atisuto Tskuru sat in a room, an empty room besides him and a few living establishments. He sat on the bed this room had and listened to music, quite bored. Vlad, the man and mad doctor whom given them their abiltiies had told them they'd be able to meet their fellow experiements today. He didn't care a bit, and still didn't care when a guard showed up at his room and told him he was going to escort him to the Dining Hall. He ignored him and walked past him.

As he walked, he thought to himself. He thought to himself about his new abilties and about what he could do with them if he escaped this lab. That was a mission for another day, though, and for now, he was stuck here. He wondered if Vlad was going to do any more experiments, but he doubted it.

The guard opened the door and he walked in, taking a seat at one of the empty tables and ignoring the other experiements. He glanced at each of them, though, but still didn't care. He drew a pillow on his arm and put it on the table, laying his head don on it and listening to music as he layed his head on the pillow on the table. He was a little tired, but mostly just bored.

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy was pissed of course her first attempt to escape had failed. Her powers were unpredictable at best. But he had to know that she would try. Which probably explained why he had been so prepared for her attempt. She walked beside him reluctantly. Three guards walked behind them. Which she thought was overkill since she couldn't possible try to escape now. She glared as he opened the door to the dinning room. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to the middle of the room.

Vlad caressed Roxy's neck right above the collar her put around her neck. He looked over his subjects. He was pleased with the results so far. "I want to congratulate you all on surviving the first round of experiments. You will all move on to the second step of the program. You will begin your training today. I would all like to take a look at my little pet here. She attempted to escape. I would like to take this time to remind you all that you are all volunteers. There will be consequences if try to escape."

[MarsAdept]

Lee had been slouching slightly in his chair but he sits up proper when Vlad walked into the dinning. He did not sit up for the old mad scientist but for the pretty thing that was accompanying him. She was definitely a sight for sore eyes. While Vlad made his grand announcement that that they survived to phase 2 of the experiment and then warned against escape, Lee's eyes were on the beauty who attempted the escape.

Lee silenced his internal dialog about what kind of person he imagined she was and focused on the ring leader of this crazy circus, Professor Vlad. Lee looked around at his 'peers', for lack of a better word, trying to read their reaction. Then Lee stood up and addressed Vlad, "Professor, what kind of training will you be putting us through? It should be no surprise to anyone that you would be against leaving without permission. The crimes I alone would be capable of doing now with this power vastly surpasses what I did to get here. But I wager, if I got out the problems I would cause would be directly blamed on you. You are the one playing god here, right Professor?"

"You will receive a complete education. You will all be expected to complete on degree. While it makes since that I would be against leaving there is always a few that try. You think that volunteers wouldn't consider such actions." Vlad answered. He stroked Roxy's neck as he spoke. She stared at her biker boots refusing to see any of them. "You are correct about one thing though I would be responsible for whatever crimes you commit sense you are all in my custody. And until you complete the program I am your God. My word is law."

Alastair stood up and walked towards vlad and Roxy, "Vlad there's no reason to parade her around like this. Please stop?" Alastair asked as he looked from Roxy to vlad agin, he just stared into vlads eyes they had know each other for awhile and he hoped he would listen to his plea.

"That's where your wrong, Alastair. My pet need to learn her place. And the rest of you need to be aware of what will happen if you attempt escaping." Vlad replied. He didn't bother looking at Alastair. He caressed the collar on Roxy's neck. "This collar was designed to blow up anyone wearing it the minute the step off the lab grounds. This should keep everyone where the are suppose to be."

"Fine you've got you're message across not please release her." Alastair said in a more serious tone he hated it when men mistreated women and this was just disgusting what vlad was doing.

[KaijuBaragon]

Lucius watched as the head of the lab came in with a girl. She looked as if she was in chains, but she wasn't there was a strange collar around her neck. Lucius didn't like the look of this collar. It looked dangerous. Vlad explained that the girl has tried to escape, and she was now a warning to anyone else who wanted to escape from the facility. He watched as another person went up and pleaded for her to be released. But Vlad just denied it.

Lucius remembered when he was turned into what he was. Just before the sleeping gas knocked him out, he had heard the scientists talking. "Should we give him fortitude weakening?" "No, he could break out easily.". Lucius blacked out after that, with an uncomfortable weight underneath him. He quite liked his ability. It was easy to control, he could have both hands filled while doing things. Deep in thought, Lucius dropped his glasses. He shot his tail out of the back of his waist, and it managed to catch the glasses. Lucius took the glasses out of his tail, and retracted the tail back into his body. Lucius smiled.

He looked over at Roxy again. Vlad was holding her quite tight, it looked very uncomfortable. "This collar was designed to blow up anyone wearing it the minute they step of the lab grounds." said Vlad. Lucius got up, and walked over. "That's... that's completely inhumane! That's a violation of our human rights!" Lucius knew all about human rights, he had learned them at school.

KaijuBaragon said
"That's... that's completely inhumane! That's a violation of our human rights!" Lucius knew all about human rights, he had learned them at school.

"My dear Lucius you are no longer human. Many of you weren't human when I took possession of you." Vlad told them. "You are nothing to the world. Some of you don't even exist to the world outside these walks. You are mine. The experiment should have shown you. I can do almost anything I want to up you. I only need a few of you to live long enough to prove my theory."

[KaijuBaragon]

Lucius didn't really get mad, but now he was pretty mad. The only thing he really believed in was that all humans should receive the rights that they were promised by the United Nations. Now this scientist was denying them human rights. Everyone here was a human, no matter what abilities they had been given or what their appearance was. Everyone deserved them. Lucius went into a rant.

"How dare you deny us human rights! We are all human, no matter what abilities have been given to us by you. We exist, you do realize that this operation could be shut down by the government for this abuse!" Lucius's tail shot out of the back of his waist, so he had three things pointing as Vlad during his rant, his two hands and the tail. "A lot of us had families before we were taken by you! A lot of us were completely innocent. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time! People do care about us, that's where you are wrong Vlad."

"So you do not care if we die, you will just throw out bodies out, claiming it's all for the growth of science! You only need a few to live?! You need all of us to live. If regular people find out about this abuse, they will riot against you and this laboratory!".

"Lucius calm down, just take your seat." Alastair said putting his deil hand on his chest and making him back up a little bit. Alastair turned his back and found a place to sit.

Atistuo sat up, putting the pillow back into a drawing and then erasing it, and looking over to where Vlad was carresing the girl Roxy while two people were very angry at him. He leaned against the table as he sat up, quite entertained by this whole argument they had going on. He drew a cat on his arm, and then took it out and made it real. It walked over to where the three were arguing and rubbed up against Lucius' leg. He was bored, they were mad, and cats were good at distracting.

[KaijuBaragon]

Lucius, seething with rage, didn't notice the small cat rubbing against his leg for about ten seconds. He looked surprised, then shocked, then confused. "What the.... where the heck did this cat come from?". The cat pushed its face up against Lucius's tail, and began rubbing it. Lucius retracted the tail immediately. He didn't want this cat to bite his tail and make it bleed. He glanced over at a boy sitting at a table, and walked over to him, the cat in his arms.

"Excuse me, is that cat yours? How on earth did you manage to sneak this cat in? Or did they allow you to have it?" Lucius was confused, how did this random boy manage to either a.) get a cat into the facility, or b.) convince Vlad that a cat would help in the activities of refining your skill and abilities. "They seem much stricter with everyone else. I was only allowed to bring one pair of glasses, and that was after they cleaned it and searched it for hidden cameras."

Lucius was still a bit annoyed after Vlad was cruel to the girl, but he sat down and looked around. "This is a strange place" he said.

[KatherinWinter]

"Follow me children. We will start your training with gym class." Vlad released Roxy's arm. He headed to the gym expecting them to follow.

Roxy was alittle surprised when the others stood up for her. Maybe it was more for the injustice of the collar. Either way she was surprise. They were all criminals. Shouldn't they all be cold and self involved. Shook her head it didn't matter. She knew that she could never trust them not completely. Vlad had made it clear that she was the low person on the totem pole. She breathed a sigh of relief when he released her and walked out of the room.

[KindledBeast]

Alastair followed behind vlad into the gym he wondered what the others abilities were. He knew that vlad was rather creative since he made his right arm into that if a demons, but the only thing that really bothers Alastair was the fact that e brought up his theory what would happen to them if they failed to prove his theory right. For now all he could do was think he knew vlad wouldn't let any of the experiments know what he had planned for them.
