    [justify]but you won't pull the trigger.


    you may have been chosen for this, but one month in, you are making a decision on whether or not you really want to help in the war effort. maybe you do, maybe you like the idea of fighting for your country, but maybe you don't. maybe all you want to do is go home.


    this isn't your war, this was never your war, and you don't have to fight in it. well, perhaps they will try to force you, put you on the battlefield with your weapon that is your power, but you could just refuse to fight. you could fight back. you're stronger than these people trying to enslave you, right?


    right?[/justify]

    [justify]WHERE AM I
    the climate is temperate. you are on an island, covered with a pine forest. the air is slightly cool, indicating it is likely located in the northern united states, as it is late may. no other land can be seen from the island. the ocean is used as a barrier, much like in alcatraz.




    you are currently within a government building. you've been here for one month. the outside is mostly windows, shining and reflective, and there are plenty of hallways and rooms within the building. it's about 5 stories tall. it is separated, in actuality, into two large buildings around a courtyard. bridges are between the two buildings on the third floor. the courtyard is made to practice powers, but also has a nice grassy area and trees. the two buildings, although technically connected, are referred to as building a and building b.




    BUILDING A
    where the rooms are located. floors 3-5 are occupied by rooms, each the same size and having the same number of windows. every pair of rooms has one bathroom/shower area between them. the first few floors include a cafeteria, an indoor gym, and a gift shop/convenience store sort of place, where you can buy supplies for hobbies or order them online, get food to cook, basic clothes, etc.
    ROOMS
    each room is made for one person, but connected to another room by a bathroom. the room includes a comfy, queen sized bed, a window, and an armchair and lamp on one wall. it also includes shelves for storage, a computer (with some websites blocked), a bookshelf with a few new popular YA books, and a little kitchen area with a sink, a tiny oven and dishwasher, a microwave, and a small fridge. some rooms don't have ovens, for those who threaten to become a danger to themselves or others.
    CAFETERIA
    the food selection includes a regular meal and a buffet if you don't want that. the food is good for cafeteria food, and is served all day. the room is filled with quite a few round tables. it is mostly lit up by natural light from the windows.
    GYM
    a large room with mats, balls, a rock climbing wall, a rope, and an area with various exercise machines like treadmills. nearby are locker rooms and showers. there's a locker room/bathroom for girls, boys, and a gender neutral one.




    BUILDING B
    no one is allowed here without permission. it is guarded well against possible trespassers from building a. it is, in short, the science building. it includes the rooms of some government officials and scientists. along with that there are many labs. this is where people first wake up when they arrive here, with their new powers. on the first floor there is also a medical emergency area, with trained doctors on duty to help with anyone who needs it.

    [justify]WHY AM I HERE
    you are here to fight in a war.




    it isn't a volunteer effort, but what we are doing is being kept secret. you are generally orphans (often from the war) or just in the foster care system, so there is no family that will miss you.




    the world is against us, and we must fight back. this has already been dubbed world war III, started in the year 2103. it is now 2106, and the fighting shows no signs of stopping. you may just be the solution we are looking for. you will train until you are able to fight. then, you will be sent out to assist the troops in foreign places.




    afterwards, if you make it, you will be heroes, honored by plenty, loved and appreciated. you may retire the hero business and do your own thing, or continue to protect innocents. it is up to you.[/justify][/fancypost]

    [justify]WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME
    your powers will be used for one of three things
    1. helping defeat the enemy
    2. helping protect and heal the allies
    3. helping get information on the others
    which means it will either be offensive, defensive, or information-gathering. each power must have a use on the battlefield as well, just in case you must defend yourself. a healer will also have either a secondary power or be trained in fighting to compensate.




    (a good place to find information would be here)[/justify][/fancypost]

    [justify]RULES
    IN CHARACTER
    1. You may not leave, even to simply see a movie or go shopping or other similar things. The operation here must be kept a secret or we are all at risk.
    2. You must be in your room by 9:00, and light's out is at midnight.
    3. You will have to take a few classes throughout the week. Some of them basic school classes, as many people here are still school-aged, and some of the classes are for training your powers. The power classes usually have 2-3 people, while the school classes have 10-12. Everyone who needs school classes share them.
    4. Do not attack other people, unless it is an arranged fight with healers and doctors at ready. Otherwise, there's too much of a risk.
    5. If you do attack many people and show signs of attacking more, or if you are acting destructive to yourself, you will be placed in a room free of ovens or sharp objects, and monitored more closely.
    6. You are all being watched.

    [justify]SCHEDULE
    training every day is 2:00-4:00. all must attend. classes are separated into offensive, defensive, informative, and destructive. all but destructive are allowed to switch classes, if they feel they would be better with a different objective.

    [justify]TIME: SUNDAY, MAY 17th, 8:32 AM
    WEATHER: FOGGY AND DAMP, CLOUDY BUT WILL CLEAR UP BY NOON


    Donovan woke up in the sensory deprivation tank. Maybe 'woke up' was the wrong feeling, as he was opening his eyes and drifting out of a dream to darkness and a strange, dreamy feeling. His last memory involved thoughts of curiosity, someone reading a CT scan as he floated. It had been strange. And, even stranger, they had let him fall asleep. He wasn't sure when it happened, but he wasn't surprised, and he was kind of glad. He hadn't slept for a while. Maybe they had realized that, once they had the readings they needed. He touched the ground, feeling like he was more 'there' when he did. No one was nearby. He slipped out of the tank, pulled on a bathrobe left there for him to cover up, and headed to his shower. The water running down his back woke him up a bit more, and when he climbed into his clothes for the day, he was actually feeling rather refreshed. He listened to the others' thoughts as they began to stir.


    Eneida woke up feeling sore and achy. She groaned loudly as she sat up in her bed in her room. Damn, yesterday was a workout. The soreness was a reminder of her training and hard work. It felt kind of good, kind of satisfying, almost. At least, until she placed her feet on the floor and her thighs started aching more. Well, that was great. She decided to do a little stretching before she actually got to doing anything. She cracked her back, and stretched her calves against the wall. Ow. Maybe she should go a little easier on herself today.


    Alex had already been awake for a couple of hours. They had sat down on a bench in the courtyard with a mug of hot chocolate, sipping as they watched the fog over the nearby water. It was peaceful. Nearly no one was up this early, and they honestly liked it that way. They enjoyed the quiet. Eventually, they had head back into the cafeteria, as there were pancakes for breakfast that morning and they were hoping to get some of those. Hunger growled in their stomach, and their footsteps echoed pleasantly in the naturally lit hallway to the cafeteria. [/justify]

  • IC: Shafaqat opens her eyes, glaring at the cieling of her room. I really need to decorate this place. It's depressing. She thinks to herself, getting up, and going to her closet to choose clothes for the day.

    Margo's eyes fluttered open revealing familiar surroundings. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. A shiver ran down her spine as her feet met the chilled flooring. Today was May 17, her youngest brother's birthday. Tears started to well up in her eyes, Margo desperately wanted to see her family again. She took a shaky breath and wiped the salty droplets from her cheeks. Margo walked over to her dresser and grabbed a towel along with a change of clothes. A shower would be a pleasant distraction.[/fancypost]

  • Agnes commonly woke up early in the morning, even before being shipped off to here. It was never pleasant to get up early, but she made do as well as she could. Her morning was currently being spent half-asleep with her face against the surface of a cafeteria table. Two cups of coffee were next to her, both empty. A black snapback was upside down next to them.

  • Usnavi hated everything at the moment. his hair was a mess and he hadn't straightened it to death yet, so it was all over the place. He wasn't dressed, wearing a pair of bright pink pajama bottems and a black tank top that was too small for him. He didn't care. He was too tired to care.
    Usnavi wandered through the halls aimlessly, looking for someone so he wouldn't have to go to breakfast alone. He finally found Alex in the courtyard. He was hoping for Eneida because he could talk with her in Spanish solely for the purpose of confusing everyone else, but Alex would do. Usnavi lurched over to them and flopped down on the bench with his head back, aimed to the sky.

  • [justify]Alex was looking up at the sky, distracted by the swirling of the clouds, and adding their own swirl to it, making the sky look like a big whirlpool. Of course, nothing was actually happening, but it looked neat. They jumped a bit when Usnavi appeared next to them. "Oh, hello!" they greeted. They noticed that his hair wasn't straight and they smiled a little bit. They honestly preferred it that way, but they never really mentioned it since it wasn't their decision to make.


    Donovan, sitting cross-legged on his bed with damp hair dripping on the back of his sweater, sensed sadness, somewhere. Someone was missing their family. He wasn't sure who, at this distance, but the feeling was clear. Abruptly, he stood, hurrying down the stairs and towards the cafeteria, even though he wasn't really hungry. Everyone would be awake soon, and he didn't feel like listening in.


    Eneida sighed loudly, slumping face-down on her bed and letting her curls spread around her head. It wasn't comfortable, but it was a couple of minutes before she could be bothered to get up, urged by hunger. There were pancakes today, and that allowed her to wake up more. Wearing an old, unmodified t-shirt and some sporty shorts as pajamas, she made her way to the cafeteria. No one really cares how you dressed at this time of morning, and it was the weekend anyway. Nothing was going on until tomorrow.[/justify]

    Margo sauntered in to the bathroom that connected her room and the room next to hers. She set her things down next to the sink then locked the doors, ensuring no one would walk in on her showering. She then proceeded to strip and step in to the shower. Cool water started to pour out of the shower head. The water washed the sleep from Margo's eyes leaving her feeling refreshed when she stepped out of the shower. After drying off the leftover droplets on her skin Margo changed in to her clothes. She wore black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, an oversized grey hoodie, a belt, and a pair of black converse.

  • Erika was woken by the sound of water. She stared up at the ceiling and inhaled. "Another day." She breathed. Erika swung her legs off her bed and stretched. What will happen today? She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and started to get ready.

  • Itzel slowly pulled herself from sleep, and looked around her small room. Right now it was empty, aside from her bed, dresser, and bookcase, as she hadn't worked up the courage to ask for posters or chairs. Hopefully that would change soon. With a smile, she stood, and changed into her normal clothes. Then she started out of her room to see what others were doing.

  • ((I will.))


    Erika walked into the cafeteria in a cheery mood. Her eyebrow raised when she saw Agnes laying facedown on one of the tables. Erika carefully approached her and gently placed a hand to her back and whispered, "Agnes?" A part of her-the dark part-wanted her to use her powers and cause Agnes to wake up. She sighed.

  • [justify]((Donovan and eneida are there. Also after this please have some IC along with Ooc if you can, even if it's just a description of your character staring blankly out the window))


    Donovan entered the cafeteria, looking around. He realized he was actually kind of hungry once he smelled the pancakes and other breakfast foods. He looked curiously towards Agnes, noting that she was very tired, and even the two coffees hadn't helped that much. He wondered if he was allowed to drink coffee. He tied his hair back, as it was beginning to be annoying, and started towards the kitchen.


    Eneida got herself some pancakes and decided to sit herself down near Erika and Agnes. They were cool. Plate filled with plenty of breakfast food, she sat down across from the two. "Is she alright?" she asked, poking Agnes experimentally, noticing she was breathing. Not dead, then, just tired.[/justify]

  • ((There's no point in posting without intentful exposition or interaction with someone else.))


    ((Also do we assume characters have already met or have they recently arrived on the island from being shipped there?))

  • Erika gave her a smile and said, "Just tired. I ran some diagnostics on her before you got here. I didn't wake her up though."

  • [justify]((you can provide characterization, make it easier for others to interact with you, describe scenery, demonstrate powers, react to the setting, etc. and all that is much better than nothing, as this is an rp and not formal writing. Also, people are interacting with your character right now. Anyway, I planned for it to be about a month into this, but new people will be just arriving. Your character has probably had their power for 3 weeks. Also, there haven't been classes or training until now to allow people to get used to everything.))


    Donovan looked around the kitchen, feeling less hungry as he looked around. He glanced up at the worker, who was noticing the red bracelet that marked him as destructive, and wondering what he did, exactly, but reminding herself it was classified. He tried to ignore it, and assessed his options. He always looks tired. I hardly see him here. Does he eat? He took a couple of slices of bacon and some scrambled eggs, not a lot, but enough to get him to lunch. Wonder what his power is. He looked up at her, then looked back down at his plate, heading into the cafeteria.


    Eneida nodded, pretty relieved. She was glad the girl was not, in fact, dead or something. She took a bite of her pancake. Good stuff. She much preferred this to food at her old foster home and the school cafeterias she'd eaten at. "Should we try to wake her up?"[/justify]

  • ((Is my other character accepted btw?))


    Erika shrugged, "I already tried. But, we can always try again." She said to Eneida. "So, how are you enjoying the island? Quite the getaway, right?"

  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border: none; width: 370px; min-height: 80px; padding: 0px; font-family: verdana; color: #e6e6e6; font-size: 10px; line-height: 12px; text-align: justify; text-transform: lowercase]
    Margo shoved her hands in the pocket of her hoodie as she followed the savory scent of bacon to the cafeteria. She looked around, not everyone was awake yet which was to be expected. Margo stacked her tray with pancakes and bacon. After scanning the room for a few seconds she decided to sit alone. She wasn't feeling very social today but rather, somber. Ever since Margo and her siblings had been separated she had been trying not to think of them. Distractions usually numbed the pain but sometimes there were days like this when nothing could help.
    [/fancypost]

  • [justify](( JUNKO yup!))


    Eneida shrugged a bit at Erika's statement. "Yeah, it's nice, but at the same time *ty, ya know? It's like, the niceness is just a nice floral curtain they put over the *tiness, so if we complain they can be like, but it's such a nice floral curtain. Yea, so, not really something I like." She also hated being restrained. She felt like her freedom was taken away here, and it made her want to escape. The cameras and the surrounding ocean and the guards all made her want to rebel just to rebel.


    Donovan noticed that the person who was sad, now confirmed to be Margo, had entered the cafeteria. She was sitting alone, but seemed to want it that way. He wondered if he could help. Probably not, but the sad feeling made him want to at least try, so he approached her quietly, a little awkwardly. He didn't invite himself to sit there by sitting down, in case she got mad or something, but asked, "Are you alright?" It was a rather pointless question for him, but a formality.[/justify]
