Alright! My form should be finished! Sorry for the wait and thank you for being patient. :)

Anthony chuckled. The others were right. This guy was insane. "You wouldn't be the first to tell me that." he said drawing in another breath before exhaling the toxic smoke once more. "I'm surprised you enslaved even know about them." he said pulling out another cigarette and studying the small cylinder. "I wouldn't be surprised then if you knew also how hard it is to quit." he murmured tossing the cigarette towards Kai, hitting the light switch to reveal a single dim flickering bulb, barely giving enough off enough light to see. "Besides. By the time all that sh*t sets in I'll be dead." he said with a grin. "So why don't you try it out? Besides. Wouldn't it be more fun to cut them off? Let them have their fix for about a year or two. Then cut them off. The effects will have set in and then they'll be thirsting for another. It'd be fun to gather them all up in the yard and toss a few cigarettes into the mix. To watch them all fight over eat other for one last taste." his grin grew wider. "You can call me Tony." he said, changing the subject. "And that names been in place before I was born." he continued. "But enough about me and my habits. Like I said. Tell me about, or I'll be dragging in one of your friends to join in on the coversation."

Alexandra grinned, following after Jade and Kasper, not hearing Jet call out to the household. Giddy with excitement she flew down the stairs on a single jump, not wanting to fall behind. She ran quietly on the balls of her feet, not wanting to make any sound that would alert the controllers that they were near. She couldn't feel more alive, darting bewtween the thick trees and undergrowth. She could see her fellow Outsider's up ahead. Slowing to a jog she stopped near Jade and Kasper. The excitement that once shone in her warm hazel eyes disappeared almost instantly, replaced with fear and anger. She was appalled that they were still able to do these terrible things, and from what she could tell, punishment had already been dealt. "So..." she said her voice barely a whisper "What's the plan?"

I don't really care either way, but I think you should wait. I hope the trafic lets up!

Alex listened intently to Kasper's plan, nodding in agreement. "We should definitely shut off the electricity. It would be easier to get them out as long as they can scale the fence..." she said, her mind running with different possibilities. "Now if we distract the peacekeepers and get them inside, we could lock them out from the yard." she began. "Kasper, do you know if those locks are controlled from the control room, or by key? Either way, once one of us get into the control room we should be able to lock it. I imagine they would keep a set of keys in there, no?" she asked. She could barely remember what she did on her last recuse, but the memeories of her own escape flooded back. Someone had managed to cut a small hole in the fence where many of the children or those too weak had climbed out. Other stronger and more resilient slaves had managed to scale the fence to freedom. But the bodies of those who had been shot dead whilst trying to escape forever stuck with her. She ran a nervous hand through her dark brown hair. "We better hurry though, whatever we do." she started looking nervously at the yard. "Who knows how much time we have."

"And how about a pair of pliers?" she added with a light chuckle. "I mean you ladies always come prepared right?" she flashed a mischievous grin before opening her own jacket up and checking to make sure her own weapons were there. A pistol, extra magazines, three throwing knives and a multi-tool all were neatly organized along the inner pockets. "I've got some stuff that'll hold them off." she said "But honestly if you have anything that could cut through that wire it would be extremely helpful. We need to think of a way to get them all out quickly and efficiently." she began, once more reminiscing of her own escape. "Not everyone's going to be fit to climb so we need to find another way to get them out. If we could cut through the fence it would help get them out faster. Plus those that climb are easier to shoot down." she finished her spiel. "Now unless we want to evacuate them through the building, where all the peacekeepers are, I would suggest we find a way to get them through that fence."

Anthony groaned as he rolled over onto his side, which only caused him to groan again. He had gotten pretty beaten up during a sparring match. Of course his coordination skills were terrible. And he put partial blame for his loss on the location of the fight. It was incredibly bright, rendering half of his abilities useless. Not to mention the room was pretty small. It didn't give him much space to stay away and launch his attacks from afar. That left him with his main skill, talking. He tried to smooth talk his way out of a beating, but looking back on it is probably only provoked the other fighter further. Either way, a broken nose and black eye later he landed himself in the infirmary. He was glad to see however that his attacker was in there as well with a few nasty burns. The cherry on top though was that he got the rest of the day off in terms of fights and managed to sweet talk his way into some extra pain killers. Unfortunately those were now wearing off as he groggily forced himself to wake up.
"Damn!" he cursed under his breath as he struggled to pull himself up and out of bed grabbing his side where the attacker had landed quite the kick. Finally he found himself sitting upright of the edge of his bed. Running a hand through his dark messy hair he finally pushed himself up and off the mattress. Pulling on a white t-shirt and some jeans he headed to the small bathroom where he messed with his hair for a bit, trying his best to make it look decent. It was then he really studied the black ring around his eye. "Well that certainly could have gone better..." he reminded himself as he gently felt the purple flesh near his eye, flinching a bit when it sent a shock of pain down his face. Tony decided it would be better to not inflict further damage on himself and stopped investigating his wounds, leaving the bandage across his nose alone. Hey, at least he'd look pretty tough. Or so he hoped. Turning out the lights in his room he began his walk to the cafeteria. Yesterday had been rough, and he had skipped dinner, so he was absolutely famished. Besides, just becaus he got a pass on his training yesterday didn't mean he'd get another pass today. If he wanted to prevent further damage to his facial area he figured he better eat a good meal. Getting on line he got some eggs and bacon before unceremoniously plopping his tray onto a random table where he proceeded to dig into his meal.
OOC: I feel a bit bad for pretty much using my RP sample but it's getting pretty late where I am so I'll post again tomorrow morning hopefully. Also, please enjoy your trip! Don't feel pressured to constantly be online. I don't mind waiting :)

Alex stifled a laugh as she looked at the hedge clipper in disbelief. "Well yeah this is great I just can't believe you actual had them in there!" she said with a chuckle. What didn't this guy have in his bottomless man-purse? "Well let's push your magic bag of trinkets to the limits." she said with another grin. "Radios." she said bluntly "How many do you have? We need to keep in touch in case any of us need backup or find ourselves in a bad situation." she said, "Plus I'd rather not be fried to a crisp, so it'd be great to know when the powers off so I can start cutting through the fence." she said, her bright hazel eyes once more looking toward the yard. They were lucky that the form of torture today was freezeing them to death. It was out in the open right where they could get to them. If everything goes according to their plans, then the endlaved should be running free with minimal casualties in no time.
OOC: Sorry for the shorter post, but I'm hitting the hay for now. I'll post in the morning.

Tony grinned as he saw his two friends. Quickly swallowing down the fork-full of eggs he had just shoveled into his mouth. "Morning Xeleah, Griffin." he said nodding to them each in turn "I'd love to sit and talk with you guys," she said with a grin "but I've got a date with these biscuits and bacon" he said chuckling a little at his own joke before once more digging into his meal, shoveling the food down like it was his last meal. Well to be fair, he really was famished and wanted to make sure today won't end up like his sparring match from yesterday. He still held onto the hope that they wouldn't have him doing any fighting for some time till his nose fully healed. Once he had managed to shovel every last bit of food into his mouth and practically licked his plate clean he started on his apple. Taking it slower so he could talk. "So, how's everyone's day so far?" he asked between bites of apple. It didn't take him long to finish it before he turned to Xeleah. "Hey, you wouldn't mind helping me sneak another biscuit right? Last time I tried to talk myself into extra food they gave me less." he said, pleading with the girl. He'd give anything to have the charm Xeleah had, since most of the time he'd try to sweet talk his way into things it ended with him getting slapped. He really didn't want to get slapped on top of his black-eye and broken nose.

Alex grinned, giddy with excitement as she grabbed one of the radios. They were actually going to do this. They were going to make a difference and help these poor souls, wrongfully tortured and killed on a daily basis. They were the hope that some enslaved still hung onto. They were going to break them out. Turning to face the fence once more, she noticed the peacekeepers going back in. Some stayed out, but why were they going back in? She knew this was good news for them, but something wasn't right. Was it break time or something? Were they switching out the shifts? "Kasper. Do you know when the shifts end, because a bunch of the peacekeepers just headed back inside. I don't know if this is good or bad." she said, nervousness was laced throughout her voice. Something was off, but they had come this far. They had to go through with the plans. Besides, she'd be safe for sometime, hiding in the woods waiting for the cue to cut the fence. There's virtually no way she could get caught, but the others. They were going inside the facility. That scared her more then anything. "Guys, let's be careful. Somethings up..."

Alex frowned. If a slave had spotted them, then there was no doubt that the controllers had. She ran up to Kasper, and looked at the two that stood at the gate. She studied the other girl. She was mouthing something. "It's....it's a trap!" she said in a hushed voice, as she mimicked the other girls facial movements. She turned to Kasper. "Well now we know..." she said. "But we have to act now or not at all. They know we're here." she said, the worry in her voice trembled. She didn't want to get caught. She didn't want to go back. Not to the small rooms where communication was cut of. Not to the daily beatings and wounds that never healed since they were opened up again and again. But they had to do something. They came too far to have their plans thwarted. "Those explosives. We need to make it seem like where ever we are planting those, that we will enter through the entrances they make." she said, her voice quiet and rushed. "But for now we should at least go back further into the forest. Make it seem like were retreating, like you said earlier." She didn't wait for an answer from Kasper but ran back up to the cover of the forest, motioning to the other Outsiders. "We have to make it look like were retreating, now! They know we're here!" she said before running further into the forest, stopping when the yard was barely visible.

Alex nodded, she could feel the adrenaline rushing through her veins already. There was no turning back now. "Alright you can do this Alex. Wait for the signal then cut the fence." she muttered to herself. Sure she may not be the strongest, or the smartest, or even have the best aim. But she was fast, and that much she would give herself credit for. All she would need to do is stay in the forest and wait, then dart out cut open the fence, then help guide the people out. She could easily stay out of danger all while helping. She started jogging in place, her brown hair bouncing lightly as she did so. "Alright! Let's do this!" she said, in odd mix of a whisper like shout, not wanting to make too much noise. She gave one last wild grin as her brown eyes shone with excitement and determination. They were actualy doing it. A rescue mission.

Anthony's bright green eyes widened in disbelief as he was handed the slightly burnt biscuit. "Last time I checked it isn't Christmas. Or my birthday." he said doing a doubletake. "Serenity, you're my new favorite," he said jokingly as he broke the biscuit up into five roughly even pieces, taking one for himself. He placed the remaining four in the middle of the table before slowly picking apart his own piece, taking his time, finally, to savor the biscuit. Turning to Serenity he chuckled "Won't you need a strong man like me to help out?" she said joking as he flexed, showing off his sad excuse for muscles. "But seriously, thanks a lot. This extra bit is already making today a thousand times better then yesterday." he said with s chuckle, remembering when he tried asking for extras while being served. His results was a pitiful excuse for a meal. He decided it would be better to go with their heart since her persuasion skills are practically garunteed to work. Turning to Xeleah, his dark brows furrowed. "Yeah what punishment? If it's anything worse then less food I swear those lunch ladies are in for it." he said, with a glare towards the kitchen. He probably shouldn't be rushing to get on their bad side again, after all they had just blessed Serenity with an extra biscuit, which he was glad to take part of, but if they were hurting a member of their group, let alone their little heart, they were in for it.

Anthony groaned as the tray was snatched away before he could reach it. "Hey! No fair!" he interjected, "Do the injured get no sympathy?" he asked pointing to his face, the black eye standing out from his pale skin. He dramatically flourished himself across the table. "Woe is me, to have extra food placed before my poor eyes, only to be snatched away by the evil garbage disposal." he said with an over-exaggerated sigh. Chuckling to himself he stood back up and took a bow before sitting down. Arming himself with his fork he took a stab at Griffin's newly claimed plate and skewered a piece of bacon. Stuffing the fatty, yet delicious meat into his mouth. "Remember, sharing is caring Grif." he said with a wink before attempting to steal another bite.

Alex groaned hearing that they were doomed to work in groups. Of course the first day would begin with group work. Whoever he'd be paired with would probably goof off and do nothing, leaving him with a finished paper that only he worked on and a headache. He could already feel the headache coming on. Rubbing his temples he looked up from his book, scanning the classroom. He sighed. This was going to be very annoying. Taking a moment he pushed up his glasses and brushed his light blonde hair to the side before raising his hand. "Er, Mr. Vincent?" he asked raising his hand. "Would it be possible to work on this assignment alone?" he asked. It would save him a lot more time if he was to work alone. "I could pick a species from the textbook." he added as an afterthought. If he was lucky the teacher would listen to his pleas, yet he doubted that the teacher would allow him to work alone. But hey, it was worth a shot.

Alice scoffed at the girls response. But in all honesty the girl was probably right, she wouldn't be surprised if she got herself killed by some silly remark. She decided not to say anything more and further piss off the dragon like girl. Alice was about to shoot her hand up and request to work with Evelyn, it would be much easier to work on a project with a friend, it probably wouldn't even feel like work, but rather just talking to a friend and doing a bit of work. When Alice heard Daelyvana request to work 'with the fire girl' she nearly doubled over in surprise. Looking back to Evelyn with a look of worry on her face, she barely managed to respond to Mr. Vincent's question. "Uh, three would be nice. Might as well get to know everyone!" she said, trying her best to sound cheerful, although it was apparent that it was forced. She stole a glance at the other girl, before turning back to the front of the room. This would be interesting.
OOC: sorry for the shorter response and for not posting in a while. My muse is kinda dead.

Anthony grinned and greedily scooped up the remainder of Cadence's breakfast, allowing himself a loud burp. "Well thank you ladies for donating to the Grif-Tony foundation of constantly starving males." he said with a smile. "Seriously though, thanks, a ton. From the bottom of my stomach. Which seems to be bottomless. So again, thanks a lot." he said with a cheesy grin. Hearing the loud speak crackle to life he sighed. "See you at lunch Serenity!" he called after her with a wave. Once she was out of sight he slouched forward onto the table. "Well after that huge meal I'm ready to go back to bed." he said before shifting slightly to relieve the pain in his side. "Anyone have any idea what they have planned for us today?" he asked curiously. The schedule here always felt like a mystery to him, which he honestly didn't quite mind. Otherwise he would fall into the boring monotony of having to do the same thing everyday, but the three definite meetings that they had here everyday was one of those things that although were always the same, were comforting and reassuring. It reminded him that he did have a family, even if it wasn't his real one. Closing his eyes he rested for a bit, quite content.

Anthony frowned. "Aw, Fin. You know I didn't mean it like that." he said, still resting his head on the table. "How about An-Fin-y association of constantly starving lab rats." he mumbled, still half asleep. Opening his bright teal eyes, he scanned over the remaining three aces. Anthony perked up when Griffin mentioned something new. "Seeing as my name has not been called yet on the loud speaker, and I highly doubt I'll be called for any sparring matches." he said once more pointing toward his broken nose. "Wouldn't want to damage the merchandise any further." he said with a chuckle. "But yeah, I'd love to check out something new. Sneak around all spy like. Screw with the scientists." he said with a grin. Memories flooded back of the small Italian bakery his parents owned. Sneaking around to steal a pignoli cookie and other sweets with friends from school. But his smile turned to a frown as he asked himself the question he always tried to avoid. Why did his parents never search for him? Did they really not care about him? Did all his friends never question where Tong went? Were any of them really ever his friends? He shook his head, getting rid of the fuzzy memeories that were mostly forgotten. "Lead the way Fin!" he said once more plastering a cheery grin on his face.

Alex sighed. Of course. Of course his request would be denied. Of course he would be paired up with this Samael, who pretty much seemed like the laziest kid in the class, seeing as he was practically nodding off. Piling up his books he grabbed his things before getting up "Very well.." he mumbled, obviously pissed off. Walking over to a desk near the other student he paused, placing his things on the desk before extending his hand in greeting. "As the teacher said, I'm Alex. Pleased to make your acquaintance." he said before once more pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose. He really needed a new pair of glasses. Looking at the obviously sleep deprived individual he thought for a moment. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad. "Alright I propose a deal." he said as he took his seat. "Seeing as you are quite sleep deprived, I'll work on the project for the two of us while you catch up on your beauty sleep. Besides. I work much better alone." he said rather faster, allowing a pause for the info to set in. "So, what are you anyway..." he asked looking the other student up and down as he pulled out a notebook and pen, ready to start writing.

Alice sighed. Alright, at least there's another person in their group. She was worried that if she worked alone with the Daelyvana she'd wind up cooked well done. Gathering up her things in a pile that seems ready to fall she gave once last Help me glance at Evelyn before picking up her things and carefully manuvering herself to a desk near the draconi. Only dropping a few pens and pencils along the way, which she quickly retrieved. "Uh well I suppose we got off on the wrong foot. The names Alice." she said with a worried smile as she held out her hand for a shake. "I suppose it's safe to assume that your Day-Dael-Daelyvana?" she asked stumbling over the pronunciation. "I'm sorry. In really bad at long names. Is it alright if I call you Dae?" she asked carefully, not wanting to get the the girls nerves. She had seen what she was able to do when not even paying attention, the textbook wobbled ontop of her pile as a reminder. "So I suppose we should wait for our other group member..." she paused once more concerned about the pronunciation. "Sav-Sv-Svant?" she asked again. Why does everyone have such difficult names. she thought. She'd definitely piss of quite a few people by terribly butchering their names.
OOC: Sorry again. My data plan is used up so I can only post when hooked up to wifi. I'm going to be out most of the day so I don't know when I'll be able to post again.

Alice returned the grimace along with a sigh. Why did she think that this might be easy. Of course it wasn't going to be. Quickly taking back her hand Alice sized the other girl up. "Well then Dae. If your ever going to make it through this school, might I add, filled with mortals. You're going to have to brush up on our customs." she said, hoping she didn't sound too harsh. She wanted to get along with her. She could be quite the friend, if she were to stop with this snobbish talking as if they all were inferior to her. "First thing when making friends, don't start off with corrections. It'll piss people off. Instead, complement them, make yourself seem inferior to them. It will make them more apt to like you. Say something like 'Wow! I really like..." Alice paused for a moment, once more looking the girl over. "Your hair! I wish mine was that nice'" she finished. Alright it wasn't the best example, but she was trying best she could. "Also, to my understanding, your much older then all of us, but you look out age. So please don't call me dear. Alice or Al would be much better." she said. Alice held her hand out once more. "Let's try this again. Hi, I'm Alice." she greeted the girl once more "You must be Daelyvana." she said carefully, genuinely trying her best to pronounce the girls name correctly.

Alice shrugged. "I guess so, but when would I ever need to speak to some fancy head of some strange species?" she asked, talking a seat. "I probably shouldn't get so pissed honestly, but some people might react worse. I suppose some people are as apt to fight someone else as you are." she said with a light chuckle, making sure it was apparent to Dae that it was a joke. "I suppose we can both learn from each other." she added with a smile. Moving onto the next question, Alice offered another shrug. "I guess that's where us mortals seem weird to you." she began, trying to think of how to explain it. "You see, everyone wants to feel supierior to you, well to others..." she began, her hands flitting about. It was certainly a bad habit of hers, anytime her mouth began to move, her hands seemed to move as well. "Everyone wants to be the star of the show, to be perfect. So when you make them feel perfect, then they like you, and in turn make you feel perfect. It seems weird, but it always works." she said with yet another shrug. "Life isn't always about making yourself seem the most intimidating, or the biggest and the badest. In this 'mortal' world, you aren't going to be faced with... I don't know other dragons wanting to rip your intestines out?" she asked, remembering what she said earlier about mispronouncing names. "Is that what you dealt with where, well wherever your from?" she asked curiously. "Well where did you come from? Might as well get this assignment done." she said pulling out a spiral notebook and a pencil. Alice was starting to become genuinely interested in the strange girls background. What had happened to her that made her so formal and uptight? She tried not to think of her own uptight mother, who seemed so lenient and accepting compared to Dae.

Alex nodded as he began to flip through the pages of the hefty text book. "Okami... Okami... Okami..." he muttered to himself as he ran his finger down the index of the book. Finally finding the race, he quickly flipped to the page, only to frown. Surprisingly there wasn't much about the species inside the textbook, other then the fact that they were some type of Japanese wolf-like creature. With a sigh, he turned to pull out his laptop, but remembered the other girl getting yelled at for the use of an electronic device. Another sigh. Well, it couldn't hurt to actually talk to the Okami sitting right in front of him, but he would rather not. A few silent minutes passed as he weighed his other options before finally deciding to ask. "Well it appears I have to scrap my plan, seeing as this textbook has an insufficient amount of information on your species. I'd look it up, but the teacher obviously has a strong disliking to electronics so, I guess I have to turn to my only reliable source." He said, looking up from his notebook and at Samael, his icy gaze showing his clear annoyance. "I apologize since you won't really be able to sleep, but would you mind telling me about the Okami?" he asked politely. Perhaps if this Samael would cooperate easily, this experience would be rather tolerable.
OOC: I honestly don't have a good excuse. Once Pokemon Go came out I used all my data and now I'm visiting my Grandma who doesn't have wifi. Sorry!

Oh wow. I barely remember this thread. Reading back gives me some memories.
