*Lucifer wakes slowly his head throbbing. He had turned fully to soon. Now he was forced to wear a t shirt and jeans. Now extremely uncomfortable with the scars on his arms showing and the scar along his face and neck he curls up in a ball. He hated t shirts. At least he hadn't eaten that guard so at least there's a plus*

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy winced as she walked towards the cafeteria. She wondered how everyone else was feeling. She doubted there wasn't anyone not aching this morning. Vlad had been pissed yesterday. He had made it clear that she was responsible. How she didn't know but she couldn't really argue. She had to pretend to obey until she could find a new way out. Vlad had something of hers that she refused to leave without.

[BlackPanther]

*Lucifer slowly walks into the cafeteria. He seems, reluctant, considering that his scars are visible who can blame him. He walks over to a seat and sits avoiding any glances and looking generally uncomfortable. His facial scar, the scars on his arms, and smaller ones found on his neck are visible. Some seeming more precise then others, as if put there by a doctor*

I move slowly down the hall and towards the cafeteria, my head still pounding and my body sore, as if I'd been in fist fight ro something, but I didn't remember getting into a fight or being beaten... oh wait... I did sort of start a fight didn't I? But I didn't get pummeled then... it must have been after I was shot then... figures, Vlad was a sadistic bastard, he'd certainly be beating everyone, and probably especially Roxy. That irked me somewhat, but it was just tough luck for the girl. She'd have to live with it or die trying as there wasn't anything I could do about it right now.

I set myself erect, and proud, and stride confidently into the room, I wasn't about to show weakness in here. I may have lost the fight, but I wasn't beaten. I take an empty seat, noting the scarred figure already seated, not recognizing him immediately I assumed him to be the boy in the dark hoodie that had stayed in the shadows for most of the previous meal. I nodded in his direction but then focused on my breakfast.

Dallas "Blue" Clarke

In all reality, Dallas didn't even get one good move in against the guards yesterday. Maybe because she stood there stunned like she did made her such an easy target, allowing the guards to tranquilizer her before she even had the chance to shift. Fortunately, that still meant that she had her own clothes. Aching from being in the cage for so long for the nightly hours, Dallas made her way down the hall, flanked by two guards, one on each side of her. Didn't they know she was one of the ones who didn't shift? But then again, she had tried to impale them with a knife. Oh well, all's fair in shifting and war. Making her way to the cafeteria, she would stop dead in her tracks. The guards grabbing her by the arms and lifting her off the ground by at least a foot to make sure where she went where she was told, Dallas found herself in attack mode. Kicking and thrashing, the guards grips were too tight. Being dropped inside of the cafeteria doorway, the girl would land on her hands and knees as the door was slid shut with a loud bang.

Getting up and pursing her lips, her arms crossed, she would say: "Well wasn't that just fun. First things first, we need to discuss strategy because butter knives hardly do any damage."

[KatherinWinter]

"I hope you are all proud of yourselves for your little display of independence. Remember you are volunteers and you can be replaced. And you wont be leaving the way you came in."Vlad warned them as he looked over the group. "Since you don't have seem to have a problem working together you will go through today's schedule in pairs. Dallas and Lucifer come here now."He had a very challenging day planned for them. @HaleyTheRandom@BlackPanther

*With a growl lucifer stands and walks to Vlad. With every step he tries to cover his scars. failing, he gives up and just stands in front of the scientist.*

Isa : Anisim Misolav

I stop eating long enough to respond to Vlad, but then return to my breakfast as I await my assignment for the day. I notice the others also seem sore, that annoying, but not unexpected.

Come now Vlad, you aren't that big a fool. Yesterday was no bid for independence, and you know it, it merely a test of our own capacity to work together. Since you're pissed off about it, I'd say we passed with flying colors.

Isa expected Vlad to react to his little rebuttal, and didn't much care how he decided to react. It was a valid point, sure a few of them may have panicked towards then end and tried to make an escape from their good fortunes in the caf, but it wasn't a concerted escape effort by any means. It had been exactly what it had looked like, a brawl in which one side worked vaguely in concert with each other against a team of trained soldiers. Thankfully they didn't seem to know their teammates any better than we did, or yesterday would have gone poorly. Isa idly wondered if Vlad had the wherewithal, or authority, to fix that minor issue... He hoped not, but thought it would be resolved in a few weeks tops.

Dallas "Blue" Clarke

Dallas laughed. "Vlad, darling, you should take the time to get to know your test subjects better. I'm not a dog and I don't come on command," she said, sitting down beside of Isa. "I think I can take the assignment from right here. And... we didn't come here willingly. As I recall you had your men knocked me out in the middle of the night on the side of the street while I was walking home, drugged me and I woke up in one of your cages with tubes and wires everywhere. So, unless you want another show like yesterday's, don't order me to come and stand near a vermin such as yourself."

[KatherinWinter]

@HaleyTheRandom
Vlad pointed to a guard. "You have two choices Blue. Either follow orders or suffer the consequences. The choice is yours. But remember your not the only one that will suffer." Everyone was a volunteer. They had chosen his program over jail. That was what the government had agreed to. No one woukd miss these criminals. That was the point if he had to destroy them no one would care.

[Sugar and Spite]

Dallas "Blue" Clarke

"You do know how to stoop to the lowest of the low, don't you Vlad," she said. Dallas took a moment to debate. She could walk over to Vlad and receive her assignment, which he could give her while she was sitting right now, after all. But he had threatened her team. They had yet to be through nothing to awfully major yet, but the girl felt the need to protect these people. After all, they had kind of appointed her as their leader. Standing up and walking over to approximately 3 foot from where the man stood, Dallas would cross her arms in a defensive stance. "Speak now or forever hold your damned peace."

[KatherinWinter]

Vlad grabs Dallas' and Lucifer's hands. He slaps cuffs on their wrists with an evil grin. "Now you will work together. Make your way to the gym. The guards will lead you so you don't get lost." He was going to make them work together one way or another. He didn't care if they liked or respected each other. They would work together. That was all that he cared about. He would not allow these teens to destroy his dreams.

[BlackPanther]

*lucifer lets out a growl at the cuffs. His lips curve into what could be mistaken for a smile, but in reality is him showing his teeth like an angry wolf would. Oddly, it would seem that turning before he was ready left him with slightly elongated canines. He gives a small tug to test the cuff, then gives a huff before yanking his arm to force Dallas to walk with him. At this point, he just wants this over with so he can get his hoodie back.*

[Sugar and Spite]

Dallas "Blue" Clarke

Cuffed together? What kind of game was this guy playing with them, exactly? Feeling a strong tug to usher her forward, a sharp pain would appear in her shoulder. "Hey dumbass," she growled. "I need that arm for whatever the hell that monster has planned for us, ya know." Accompanied by the guards just as Vlad had promised, the two of them would arrive at the gym and walk inside.

[BlackPanther]

*Lucifer meets her remarks with a snarl. From that point on he walks with her in silence his face blank of expression. Once inside of the gym, he stands there silently waiting for instruction because he was basically done with this situation already.*

@KatherinWinter

I finished my plate, listening to the exchange, and watching Vlad enjoy his pervy self. The man would have better success if he tried to motivate us with positive results but he didn't seem to give a damn about his test subject, only the numbers and results they produced, and that would eventually kill his little project. Some rights activist group, probably an animal rights activist group, would end up fussing and making a huge stink of the whole thing at some point, that or budget cuts would get him axed. I mean, we clearly weren't much harder to beat than your average soldier, so it wasn't really worth the extra expense as far as Isa could see. I wondered what Vlad had in mind for me to do today. Would he pair me up with Roxy or just use us the wiping slaves of the pair in the gym? I'd certainly prefer to avoid getting beat again, so soon after the last beating, but I didn't have high hopes of getting to pair up with Roxy. Vlad wasn't the sort to reward foul play apparently, despite his own love of it. As Blue and the scared boy, I'd forgotten his name, leave; I sit quietly waiting for Vlad's next demand.

[KatherinWinter]

@Tracyarmav
"Your turn Isa. You get to be paired with my pet."Vlad explained. One of the guards shoved Roxy towards him. She glared at the man but didn't utter a complaint. She stopped in front of Vlad with her arms crossed. She didn't want this and he knew it. He knew she hated being so close to people. That was part of the reason he was doing this. He liked making her uncomfortable. He knew that she wouldn't lash out no matter how much she wanted to. Not as long as he had the one thing that mattered to her.

[Tracyarmav]

Isa : Anisim Misolav

I stand and walk calmly over to Vlad, considering how to throw a jab at him with out inciting him to punishing the team... Silence would suffice for now, silence and the bare minimum of reactions to Vlad, would have to be sufficient for now. I needed more information, and a change in circumstances. Arriving in front of Vlad, I offer a limp wrist for the cuff he was intent on using to bind me to Roxy with, apparently indifferent to the whole situation.

[KatherinWinter]

Vlad grinned as he jerked Roxy's arm towards Isa. She didn't make a sound or try to fight him. Either would have only made things worse. Once the cuffs were on she headed out the door. She never looked at her 'partner'. She would have to learn about them but she couldn't be obvious about it. The last thing she needed was to have Vlad separate her before she knew if any of them could or would help her. @Tracyarmav

@KatherinWinter

I carefully keep pace with Roxy, doing my best to keep the cuffs from hurting her. After a few paces, the jangling links begin to annoy me and I reach over to hold Roky's hand in mine, reducing the space between our wrists and keeping the links from jangling. If she doesn't like it, I'll find some other way to reduce the annoying links. I walk in silence, wondering what else Vlad had in mind for the day's events. I stop at the door to the gym, taking a couple of deep breaths before stepping through. It was more to cement the attitude of disinterest than anything else, but it also gave me time ready myself for whatever waited for us in the gym.
