Jacque shrugged off Eva's attempt to get past him, somewhat relating with her desire to escape the white coat clad man's attempts to do only god knew what. He'd begun to shift his weight to the side to avoid being pushed out of the way, a subconscious action that was ultimately wated due to his lack of arm, only to stifle a small snort as he watched Eva awkwardly stumble when she grabbed the open air beneath his left shoulder. The stumbling was amusing, however the staring at the spot where his arm used to be was decidedly less so. Jacque had begun to open his mouth to point out that her gawking was rude, however she beat him to the punch by stating how she could relate. The man closed his both and gave a small sigh, mentally checking off her limbs as prosthetics as he did so. "I suppose you could call it an accident. This is actually the whole reason I came here in-", He trailed off as he noticed Zarr floating after him just out of the corner of his eye.

Jacque stopped in his tracks and turned to face Zarr, his left brow rising marginally again as he stared quizzically at the man. "Er, Hello. Are uh, are you one of the doctors or something?" Jacque inquired, mistaking the man's attire and fine control over his levitation to mean that he was a scientist. It was actually moderately interesting to Jacque, after all very few men or women of science were willing to put themselves on the experimenting table. Then again, Zarr didn't strike him as the most tightly wound person. Patience was going to be required with this one if he wanted to avoid being used for more experiments than the one he signed up for.

Nathan would sigh, walking out of his room, before he hears a loudspeaker announcing someones name, and what seems to be a Breach Of Security. He would shrug it off, sliding past the group of people in the hall, and past Floaty McFloatertonne. He laughed quietly, a light grin on his face from his word use, he would go to the lobby and sit down, pulling out his phone. "No Wifi?!" He would groan, going to play some random offline games on his phone, his hood up, as he sat in the corner, curled in a sort of ball.

Rei skimmed through the unrolled form the man showed him. Troy Marcellus, he echoed the name written on the paper in his mind. This stranger - Troy - seemed to be applying for shadow manipulation. His lips trembled slightly at the rising urge to bombard him with a torrent of questions that would quench his thirst for information, but he forced it down with a nod at Troy - his hand pulled out his documents from his hoodie and flashed it at the newfound ally, then shrugged his shoulders apologetically when he realized his application was written in Japanese.

For him to have to sneak through the gates without going through that queer intercom, this person probably didn't register with this damned place---

The sound of approaching footsteps towards their hiding place made the teen snapped his attention beyond the broad shoulders of Troy, at the corridor ahead. A quick glance around told Rei that there was nowhere to run - or was there even a need to? He beckoned the man to stay behind him, his eyes narrowed at the one who would be showing him or herself around the corner...

@Blackmist16

The figure that revealed himself was a teenager around his age - maybe slightly younger than him - but Rei's instinct told him that this dude wasn't much of a threat, for now. His mouth twitched into a plastic smile at the newcomer.

[VKAllen]

She would stand behind Jacque blocking herself underneath his shadow from Zarr's sight. How effective that was is very questionable on her part.

@tsukune

Troy looked on at the boy as he checked out his application. With a nod from Rei, Troy gave a nod as well. Watching Rei pull out and flashed his documents, Troy stared at it for a moment realizing it was Japanese writing. Shaking his head, he obviously showed he could not read it but it seemed the boy realizes that he did not register.

Hearing footsteps coming his way, Troy balled his fist, ready for whoever was coming towards where he and Rei were hiding. Troy initially was in front of Rei to protect him but with a surprise, Rei got around his larger body and gave a signal to stay behind him instead. With a smirk, he awaited whoever was coming their way as this teenage boy showed up. Troy did nothing at the moment, waiting and reading the situation before reacting. He was going to let Rei do the talking unless Troy himself was to step in if necessary.

@tsukune@King Tai

As he turned the corner Bo saw two men, one younger than the other and the larger darker skinned man was much older than the boy.

The older man looked intimidating balling his fists up looking as though he would attack Bo.

As he neared them he stopped a good distance away and smiled at them both.

"Woah guys,"

He put both his hands up in a manner meant to just show that he was holding nothing but he knew with the experiment and his new powers he could probably draw the life essence out of the two of them.

"Calm yourselves I am not going to attack or do whatever you think I just wanted to associate myself with some of the people here!"

He flashed them a sly smile and he stepped forward.

"Whatever secret you guys are hiding it's safe with me!"

He said to the two.

Tori nods "Yeah" she agrees before hearing someone come. She turns and looks at them. "Yeah I'm not sure about your room number but the rooms are just down this corridor to the left and right. You can probably find an office or something here where you can find your room" Tori replies and shrugs. "I also have a Map." She adds looking at her map and handing it to her. "You can have it if you wan. I'm sure we can look around if needs be."

[BurningCold]

@MellyNyan @Valkyr Kory begins tapping his foot impatiently, the smile on his face gone. The one thing he knew about adults was that they always let you down. He wanted to get himself and Tori away from this person as soon as possible.

[Melodia Alluna]

Volta continues looking around. "Hello?" She was getting braver, walking faster. Maybe I'm all alone and this was just some prank... "Is anybody here?" She was confused. How come she couldn't see anyone? She would have thought that there would be scientists or something.

[MellyNyan]

@BurningCold
Tori look over to Kory and sees that his smile is gone. She can tell he wanted to go so she smiles and adds "We are going to head to our rooms now! Good luck in finding the office!" She turns around and starts to walk towards the fork in the hallway and starts to walk the way where the sign said Rooms 1-10

[BurningCold]

@MellyNyan Kory sighs in relief and follows after Tori, a complacent look on his face. He looks down at his feet and mumbles something.

(Decided to give you some RP)
Nathan would get up, his phone running low on Charge, he would step outside, the caged walls of the vicinity still allowing the fresh air in, He would breathe in deeply, seeing a girl shuffling around the vicinity, calling out and lost, he would begin walking to her, yelling out in a friendly tone "Hey!" And waving a hand, an absent smile on his face, as he thought "Odd, I don't usually act this..social."

[Melodia Alluna]

@decayedAngel (Yay! Thanks!)

"Um, hey..." Now that there actually was someone, Volta didn't know what to do. Do you know where I'm supposed to be for the... experiments? I'm not sure where to go, and I can't seem to find anyone. I was starting to think this place was deserted." She smiles tentatively. I'm Volta Orario. And you are?"

@King Tai @Blackmist16

Rei allowed his fake smile to drop a little, his eyes remained glassy and cautious at the younger teen before him. His eyebrows arched slightly when the newcomer seemed too eager to be on friendly terms with him and Troy but his body language was hinting the opposite, the distance between the boy and the odd pair been an obvious giveaway. The knowing grin on the boy's face and his attempt to win his trust wasn't going to be effective on the Japanese outcast.

He gave a sideways glance at Troy before he replied to the teen in a quiet voice, "We're new here, in this strange building that appears to be cut off from the world outside. It's natural for people to be suspicious of any approaching strangers in a place where there's nowhere to get help." Judging from the choice of words this guy had used, Rei guessed that he must be someone who had been here before them. He slowly deflated the tension that had built up in his slim frame - for now, establishing contacts was his first priority, and this person could be useful to help them get around the labyrinth of whitewashed hallways. "I'm Rei," he introduced himself, tilting his head at the loss of anything to add on before he stepped aside, unconsciously squeezing the tattooed arm of Troy, a sign to tell him that his secret was safe---

When a sudden blare of warning siren rang throughout the corridors, followed by an announcement about a breach of security. Rei covered his ears instinctively, extremely annoyed at the deafening bombardment around him. He let out a string of curses under his breath. Talk about bad timing. From the few words he could make out above the din, it seemed that they hadn't pinpointed the exact identity of the intruder (a name was mentioned, but an unfamiliar one) - which meant that they didn't know about Troy. He permitted himself to give a genuine smirk at his first possible friend.

[King Tai]

Troy kept his fist clenched while this new teen was trying to convince them that he's not there for trouble. Standing there for a moment, Troy was studying the other guy while letting Rei do the talking. While introducing himself and giving him the signal that everything was ok, Troy calmed himself a little. Still a bit suspicious but yet not having any other choice but to trust these guys since Rei did confirm that his secret was safe and along with he new guy, they both didn't seem to mind Troy being there at all.

Giving a sigh, Troy crossed his arms and introduced himself since Rei already did, Troy.... he simply said to Bo before the sounding of the siren. Troy flinched a little looking at the two, as if they caused the alarm to go off but he did wonder if they caught him of surveillance, giving a serious look on his face, thinking he needs to be on the move immediately.

@tsukune @Blackmist16

(Sorry but I'll put a little bit more on my next post)

[Dark Cloud]

@King Tai@tsukune

Bo scowled but looked at the two of them with a lopsided and slightly annoyed smile as he gritted his teeth.

"Nice to get acquainted with you!"

He said as he inched closer to the two so they could hear him over the siren.

"My names Bo but some people call me Arden"

He said to the two looking about wondering where the siren was coming from because he wanted to destroy it or at least put a cork or something in it.

For now he was standing with his two newly acquired allies who seemed like an odd bunch by the looks of it.

[King Tai]

Troy was a little nervous with the sirens still going off and gave a what's up nod to Bo when he introduced himself. Troy didn't really want to speak that he infiltrated the place without checking in first at the front gate since he still was a little wary of Bo. speaking loud enough for Bo to hear Do you know a place up in here we can chill at until everything cool? he asked. If he was to trust Bo, he wanted to see where this would end up leading to.

Troy never really trusted anyone throughout his life except for very few people and since he was alone here, that trust was going to have to stretch if these guys claimed that they would not snitch or knew a way to keep him out of dodge. The other thing that bothered Troy was the possibility that some of the people there could already have their powers and no telling what type unless he had to learn the hard way. He stared at Bo waiting for his answer and wondered what Rei wanted to do.

[Dark Cloud]

Bo shook his head slightly but then remembered as he was walking though the facility a section where they had some bathrooms and basically the whole section of that builds no was empty except for a few scientists who wouldn't care that some people hung by there.

@King Tai

"The bathrooms just a while away are certainly empty and almost devoid of most people and there are lots more bathrooms around but this one isn't used a lot as it seems!"

Bo said to Troy looking at his other companion who looked a little older than Bo just taking a glance at him.

Then looking back to Troy and giving him a slight nod of the head down the hall.

[King Tai]

Taking a look at Rei and then back at Bo with the information he's given, Troy took a deep breath and started to motion by following behind Bo. Of Troy was going to go this far listening to what this kid had to say about where they could hide, I wouldn't hurt to ask him a few more things.

You got your powers already? Sound like you been here long. making small talk to keep himself calm and to see what info he could get out of Bo. Troy was not much of a talker unless he was cool with that person and since he needed more info about the place, he hoped Bo would be more cooperative with him to feel him in on what he already knew.

@Melodia Alluna
Nathan would smile, offering a hand, to shake or to hold, he isn't exactly sure, but he responds "Nathan Grant..Yeah, I can show you to your room, it had your name posted on the door, Room 13..Across from me." His smile widening a little, as he examines her smooth features, not realizing he is blushing. He would await for her to shake/hold his hand, beginning in, continuing on "Well..I have been chilling in the lobby and waiting to be called into the experiment.."
