Alone in the Crowd

Sorry for the wall of text I just posted guys. I didn't think it'd be that much. >3<

Alone in the Crowd

The wind idly blew through Chloe's ponytail as she walked towards two men, her luggage wheeling behind her. She had been instructed that they would be taking her to new home. Though she was assured repeatedly when she signed up for this that it was safe, well aside from the normal dangers of associating with unknowns, she still had her doubts. Both of the men happened to be blond and they greeted her with smiles,'Not so bad..'

“Miss Taylor.” said the man on the right offering her a hand. The brunette looked at the hand extended towards her and momentarily thought about not accepting it. She had no idea where that hand had been, and judging by his fake designer shirt and unstyled hair, he was obviously the dodgy type. Her blue eyes scanning over both of them for a long moment before she came to a conclusion. Deciding that she was taking a big enough risk by even coming here, let alone following through with it, the least she could do was to accept the greeting. Chloe nodded her and plastered a dashingly fake smile on her face as she accepted his hand a moment before he was about to pull it away.

“Hello.” she murmured at them in an even toned voice.

The other man nodded, “If you would come this way ma'am, we're going to take you to your home.” The male motioned his arm off towards the side, where a white golf cart had been parked. ']Don't tell me that's what we'll be driving in.' the brunette visibly grimaced. Golf carts were things that they drove while playing well, golf. No matter how small a town was, a golf cart was a ridiculous idea. What would happen if her bag where to slide out or the driver was to take a fast turn and it was to flip... well the top speed of a golf cart couldn't be that fast. But nevertheless, she was not a fan.

“I'm sure your competent... well, competent enough to safely get us to our destination. So I am going to assume I do not need to make you aware on the dangers of driving to fast in a disproportional motor vehicle.” Chloe said, her voice sweet.

“Yes, ma'am. No need to worry, its just a golf cart. Besides we are just going up the street.” he said giving her an odd look as they made their way to the cart. The brunette shrugged off his comment as she approached the cart, leaving her bag at the side for one of the men to pick up and hold in cart. If she had to ride in the thing at least they could make sure her bag was secure. It was their job to make sure they were happy, right?

Almost as if he expected it the other male grabbed her bag and tossed it in the seat beside him. Starting the cart, as Chloe methodically fussed over the hem of her blue shift dress, making sure it laid just right when she sat down. By the time she had even crossed her legs, the cart had came to a halt.

The men got out of the vehicle, the one on her left had began to speak “We are here, first house on the -”

“Left.” Chloe finished for him getting out of the cart, “I requested it myself. The outside looks alright, but just alright.” The brunette outstretched her hand waiting for the other male to give her her luggage.

“Yes, now. Down to business. You should find that on this clipboard is a run down of everything you need to know. Maps, names, address, and a guide to the interface on the wall, they should all be there.” drawled the driver, as he grabbed the luggage from the other male's hand and placed it on the ground beside her. “We hope everything is to your satisfaction.”

“Right.” she said glancing over the papers, knowing she should probably read it all over as soon as she got inside. Just to be safe. “Well thanks, boys.” she said cooly as she turned around and headed into her new home.

When Chloe walked inside of her designated house. Honestly, the house was perfect, it was exactly the way she requested it to be, down to the little details. But she was used to that, so it wasn't that impressive. She was, however, very pleased with herself. Interior design was something she didn't have much experience in, but this was amazing. The colors of the couch and the curtains contrasted in just the right way, and the vintage pictures gave it a certain vibe. Yes, Chloe was very pleased with herself indeed. She headed into the far back room where her bedroom and ensuite was located. The mint green and gray was lovely, she went towards her closet and saw that the clothes that she had sent over had even been hung up. All expect for the one she brought with herself. The brunette started on putting away her suitcase and got half way through when she heard a beep sound. She ignored it the first time it sounded, but it continued. 'I knew it was to good. What is that noise? A fire alarm? '

Chloe let out a frustrated sigh and turned around to identify the source of the noise. Her heels clacking angrily on the title floor as she made her way towards the wall interface. The screen read in bold text, MAIL. 'That's one way of getting my attention.' Toying around with it she managed to adjust some settings, changing the tone to something more melodic and less likely to piss her off. Finally when things were to her liking, she checked the mail, ' her blue eyes narrowing in on the words. Mandatory meet and greet. Alright, I suppose I'm ready to meet the riffraff. Who knows, maybe they'll have someone worth meeting.' she thought, hopeful for a moment. 'Like that'd happen.'

Grabbing the clipboard that she had forgotten about while she was unpacking her bag, she sat down on the nearby armchair. She mentally scolded herself for not reading everything like she had originally planned, but things happen. The brunette thumbed through the papers until she saw the map, locating the designated hall that she was supposed to head towards. She looked over at the screen and saw that it read 1:20, plenty of time to make it. Taking the papers and folding them over she left her house and headed towards the hall.

Alone in the Crowd

I have a quick question, which you might have somewhere and I'm just overlooking it. What area of the world is the experiment located at? Or is it undisclosed? :)

Alone in the Crowd

Here's my character, sorry if it's a little long winded... c:

Name: Chloe Louise Taylor

Age: 20

Country: New York, New York. USA

Looks:

Chloe

Chloe is on the shorter side, she stands about 5' 3”. She has blue eyes with flicks of gold encasing the pupil. Her eyes-- like most people with colored eyes--- change hue when in different lights. Chloe actually has poor sight and would be pretty blind without her contacts. Chloe is very feminine and very proud of it, she always does her hair and makeup, and takes great pride in her appearance. She dresses well and usually prefers a professional style of clothes (Pencil skirts, blouses, cardigans, fitted trousers, shift dresses, and other various items). Often dons heels or pumps in order to giver herself that extra height advantage. Occasionally she will dress more to the fashion of her age group, but not typically.

Personality: At first glance Chloe appears to be a very friendly person, however much to the chagrin of those that approach her that isn't the case. She has had a long standing problem with getting along with others. Although it has never really been her fault, people just have a hard time dealing with her dominate personality. Or at least that's how she rationalizes it. She has a strong sense of superiority to those around her, rather it be because they aren't in the same circle as her or their intelligence isn't up to par with hers. To Chloe people are grouped in two categories, people that just aren't worth it (this group making up the majority of people that she knows) and people that are. She has no problem voicing her opinions and telling people pretty much what she thinks of them. Though she has enough tact to know when certain things should be kept to herself. Chloe has a strong sense of purpose and a lot of confidence. She is often considered to be a very driven person, who will settle for nothing but the best in both people and materials. Chloe is intelligent and she likes to be flattered. By far her biggest issue is that she can't really empathize with others, her selfishness makes it hard for her to understand that others have problems that are important too, and she isn't the center of the world.

Short History:

Chloe

Chloe was raised by a single mother in the elite society of New York. Her mother, Martha, was a power hungry CEO. She was the type of woman who was never wrong and was never told no. Martha was very dedicated to her company and ran it with an iron grip. Outside of work place was a rather agreeable person, but her notorious reputation for being ruthless in the corporate world made friends and lovers scarce. By her late 40s she soon realized that the other people around her had something she didn't, a family. A family with children that looked so adoringly at their parents. She realized that that adoration was something that Martha had wanted so badly for herself. She realized that her time was short and finding a husband was something she didn't have the luxury of finding yet for she turned to other options. And so Chloe was conceived through in virto fertilization, after Martha had found the perfect sperm donor that is.
When Martha had Chloe she discovered her maternal instincts fast and became a very proud mother. To Martha her life was complete with the new addition of her daughter, she would never be alone again. Chloe was showered in affection, always told how beautiful, smart, and talented she was- how much better she was compared to everyone else. Martha enforced the idea that she was the daughter of someone special and that she, as a result, was someone important. As a child Chloe had free reign, she could do what she wanted, whenever she wanted, at little to no expense. Well, so long as her grades kept up- which they usually did, thanks to the countless well paid tutors. Even though she had everything she could ever imagine, she spent most of her childhood alone. Her mother was a very busy woman after all. The few occasions that she was home they spent their time together enjoying the finer things in life.
Chloe became estranged from other kids her age, often fighting with them or making the other kids cry. When the only people you are around are paid to be bossed around by you and give you everything you want- you don't really understand how normal relationships work. As a result Chloe developed a very bossy and unagreeable personality. Despite Chloe's behavior she was rather well known in high school, where she had a small circle of 'friends'. Friends that were more like peers that followed her around senselessly. She was always the best dressed and became proud to be a fashionista of the school. Chloe had eventually graduated with high honors and went on to a top ranking college.
During her first year of University, her mother fell terminally ill. Martha's company went under the control of her vice president, who in turn, drove it directly into the ground. Chloe and her dying mother had to live off of what was left of her mother's savings. Normally that would have been enough to keep them going. But Chloe was inexperienced with money, so they needed a way to turn a profit. She had tried to invest money like her mother had told her to, but she lacked the experience and the eye for good business that her mother had. A few misplaced investments and their wealth started to quickly diminish. Chloe was able to remain in college up until her sophomore year, until her mother's money ran out. With no money to afford treatment Martha died, leaving her daughter with little to nothing to go off of and a bruised ego.

Other: Chloe joined the experiment for some place to stay and live for the meantime. She hopes that the money she will receive at the end will help her to finish her education and open up her own fashion line.. Besides the world could do a little better being more like her, right?
