Josh spent his time before their night out working out in his room, staying fit was a big thing to him. After a sufficient routine, he took a shower and cleaned himself up. Putting on a white and gray ensemble that he thought made him look rather well. He purposefully messed his hair up and then slid his sleeves up. Josh found that a I don't care attitude, some decent clothes, and confidence were his key to his success. It was now two minutes before 8, so he made his way to Iris's room, which luckily wasn't that far away from his own. As he approached her open door, he could hear Molly's voice say that they looked lovely so he decided to take that opportunity to make a comment. He walked just into the door and then leaned against the frame before speaking. "And what about me?" he asked, keeping it simple and trying to appear that he'd been at the door longer than he really was. Josh could see Iris and Molly's outfits and was thoroughly...intrigued.
I just got off a long ass mission, I need to shower, desperately lol. Then I'll get caught up.
OOC: We got it rough in here but we at least get plastic cups and clean water, it's modern day, we aren't back in the 60's lol.
Josh turned around to notice Gerald, the only guard who's name anyone knew. Probably part of his god complex, he didn't care if anyone knew his name, nor if any of the other guards said his name out loud. Where as normally when they talk, they use a call sign which was typically something annoying. Gerald was an obstacle to Josh, nothing more. He didn't take anything they did to heart because one day, he'd make them pay. He didn't have a clue when or even how for that matter but overcoming oppression is something Josh was forced to get good at. His desire to beat this system, his knowledge and skills, Josh was convinced that there was a future for him outside of this hell hole. God help them if he ever got his powers back, all the times they abused him and the other inmates, the women especially. He hated that more than anything and 90% of his times in the box were for defending a woman.
"I don't think they've thought that far ahead honestly." he said in response to Cy's comment. "Have you noticed some people have been missing for a while, and even if they return they hardly speak to anyone. I think they panicked when they realized we existed, what we could do. And like a child with a new toy, the government decided, oh I want that. I think they want our powers but haven't figured it out yet. That's why we're still here, still alive. If we weren't the slightest bit valuable to them, they'd just kill us. It's the government, they've been doing that for years and just covering it up." he said, now taking a breath after his little rant. He made sure it wasn't too loud so as to not bring attention on them but then again he didn't care. If they wanted to put him in the box for speaking the truth, he'd give them a reason to put him there.

You didn't comment on my post? I guess I didn't do anything that really stood out :P
Don't take it personally lol, his just took me by surprise with it's volume of the post and his fairly extensive vocabulary. Yours is good, my only thing with his was to mostly point out deficiencies.
As for SillyGoy "Maybe Gerald is being a bit too insensitive, but then again, he's been indoctrinated into sociopathy, and he generally hates Evols for the massive amount of damage they've done to lives and property, not to mention nearly killing him at one point:" I can understand where you're coming from but there's a fine line between a harassing comment and playing your character true to their nature. Just keep that in mind for future posts.
Your post is substantial and very nice, good grammar, lot's of imagery detail. One thing though that you need to know. There are no metal bars, no barred cells. All the cells are single man/woman, plaxy glass cells. (Don't know how to spell plaxy glass) If you need a reference for what his is really like, what I want people to envision, think of the movie Escape Plan. If you've seen it, that'd be perfect for you to grasp this. If you haven't and don't want to, just watch the trailer and it should be enough for you to understand then.
Also, I don't think you need to be so rough with Kat's character, her character wouldn't fight back or provoke that kind of response, it just seems unnecessary. Lastly, for Barry, you don't need to demean his character like that. I did say this was a mature language RP and as a guard, you're inherently a jerk but that seems like a low blow and insensitive.
The exact details of the prison are kept from you, on purpose, but a lot are modeled after that movie because it is supremely secured. If you have any questions SillyGoy, about the layout and guard related knowledge. Ask me or Little_Ninja.

Ok cool. That works. I was mostly wondering but your solution works for me haha.
What time is it in the RP right now, how long do I have before the 8 o clock at your door?
I was thinking, thanks to Little_Ninja, that the characters that people made but don't appear to be returning to play, can be faded out. Meaning, not killed, because they could return. So for the most recent posts, anyone currently interacting with them can use them so their post isn't just them talking to themselves. Otherwise, I want SillyGoy's debut in the IC to be awesome, such as coming through and grabbing the inmates that aren't active anymore and taking them to see Mr Todd. Really, they're being taken for testing, but this way we can say where they are, though no one is going to know the others are being tested on. We just know they got taken to see the Warden. We don't see them anymore though. Perhaps private quarters are given during testing trials. With this solution, they can return to the RP if they choose and it should be alright.
I just remembered something you brought up in your PM Little_Ninja, whether it's subtle or not is up to everyone collectively. If people develop a grudge, it might not go so unnoticed but if we all work together and figure shit out, it might go smoothly. Or will it, perhaps it's gonna go wrong either way. Only time will tell.
Oh and duh, I forgot this point. Yes, the RP is going to continue once we escape, I already have an idea for a plot, which will come to light at the appropriate time. I will PM my Co-GM's about it either way.
GREEN LIGHT GO

Holy shit, I missed a lot. Sorry sorry sorry. Most of us here know but for you new guys, you need to know the reason I have two Co-GM's is because my posting times are crazy. I'm a soldier currently deployed in Afghanistan dealing with....stuff. I'll probably miss a few points I was wanting to cover but I'll do my best to address them right now.
Starting with SillyGoy, you definitely set a tone by taking up the position of a guard, it makes me excited to see what comes from that, and it would seem from everyone else too. We can talk more through PM for your development, whether you want to help us or what not, I like all the cohesion here and team work for thinking these things out.
Drewccapp, first off, thank you for taking the criticism so well. We aren't trying to be mean, just make things right. So I want to thank you for rolling with punches on that and now you have a character that is truly unique and awesome.
Toaw, your CS makes me excited, especially when PoisonLillies compared you to Colossus, one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. If you want to be a character modeled after him, more or less, I'm 100% all for it. You can be as tough as you want so long as you remember the restrictions from the bracelet, which it seems you do so I don't see any problems. Your contacts, in my opinion, might not really classify as a skill, though I don't see a need to change it, it's just a detail in my opinion. It could come in handy so we don't only rely on our mind control friends.
This statement does not mean in any way that people need to change this detail, just wanting to point out that a lot of people seem to be very skilled in fighting, whether it's street fighting, MMA, or some kind of martial art. Realistically, not everyone is going to be a skilled fighter, it's just not gonna happen. We're not locked up and feared because we can break someones arm in an arm bar or one hit KO them, we're here because of our powers. Your character's and skills should reflect that reality more than just being able throw down and win. I know skills are getting hard to come by in order to be useful with this number of characters and of course, maybe you just can't think of something but strive to be useful and be able to set yourself apart. Try to be that character where we all stand around in a circle and say, "We can't do this without BLANK" That's my best motivational speech I can think of lol.
Lastly, threat levels. Drewccapp= 5
Toaw= 3
These are based off your power, your background and personality, and over all how I think the Warden would feel about your power if he were to harness it. We have to keep in mind, though it hasn't been revealed yet, that the government want's our powers. Whichever ones are the most powerful and most beneficial to the government, are going to get them interested. Obviously, it's the government haha. These numbers do not make you better than anyone else, nor should you feel weak if you think your number is low.
If I missed anything else, anything at all that still needs to be covered, let me know. I'm on for a while, let's hash this shit out.

"Cool? It's bloody awesome." he said with a smile. He felt the urge to hug her but right as he realized it was showing, he turned around and put his hand on the Jaeger. His Jaeger. He cleared his throat before speaking. "So I guess I did alright then, during the simulation. Looking back now, I guess I was fairly silly screaming like that. I didn't suffer any nerve damage." he said, trying to steer the conversation away from anything too mushy. He felt like Iris may be feeling weird right now, after loosing Leo not that long ago. He shouldn't be jumping into her life or making her feel uncomfortable. That's not a healthy working relationship and everyone here needed to be on point and one cohesive unit. It was their job to succeed when everyone else failed, at least that's how Josh took it. "Oh, and when is our night out. Now that I'm an official Ranger." he finished with a wide smile.
