day one

[judgejudy]

DAY 1 Complex Population: 35 ( October 3 - October 6 ) It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. There's breakfast avaliable in the cafeteria if you want it, as well as meals from 11AM-12PM and 7PM-8PM, but otherwise? The day is yours. Take your time to explore the complex, relax, and enjoy each others' company, as who knows what the next day has in store? Though as you explore, you may notice that there's a new door unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. One of the locked doors on the second floor is now open, so residents can partake in the clean, modest gym if you're the kind to keep in shape. — This post is for the first day as defined in the schedule. This post is for general mingling and CR buidling, and will not include significant plot interaction. character statuses character profiles private conversations

[She might be storming, but Luke makes a foolish mistake in grabbing her shoulder to slow her down as she tries to blow past him.]

Whoa, hey, what's going on? [Look he understands being mad but this is still a shift in demeanor he's uncertain about.]

[tearable]

[ He grabs her shoulder and her arm immediately jets up and then crashes down, using her elbow to go for his - trying to break the hold out of defensiveness. ]

Don't touch me -! [ She says with a quaky voice and she stumbles back. She's not close to crying or anything, but she's so angry. ] They're keeping tabs on us - have our information all lined up and that means they know us. They know who we are and picked us for some reason we can't even fathom.

[chiseler]

Ow, hey! [Her elbow crashes right into his arm pretty hard and he doesn't exactly let go right away, but he does let go. He's left staring at Elizabeth like he's also on the defense, a guarded look in his eyes as he sizes her up.]

...I know. [He takes a deep breath, sliding his hands into the pockets of his shorts.] I know, I don't like it either, but don't you think that means they're also expecting us to freak out a little?

[tearable]

[ Look, she might be smol but she is capable. ]

Let me guess, the bracelet will have some explosive or static discharge if we get too rowdy? Luke, was it? I don't do well caged and this invasion of privacy is -

[ Look, she straightens her blouse a bit, looking away. ]

Tell me. Are you missing anything special about you since arriving?

[chiseler]

[You'd think Luke would remember that he knows a few girls that are small and mighty but he's apparently thrown that knowledge right out the window.]

You're thinking on a small scale, first of all. For all we know these things could kick in with full-body paralysis. [He catches on the word caged though and while he has questions, he knows better than to ask while she's freaking out a little.

He puts some distance between them, taking a breath and nodding along.]

If you mean "almost everything" then yeah, I've got the same problem. [He's annoyed by it, truthfully, but he also doesn't see much of a reason to hide it since she's asking.] But that also depends what you mean by special.

[tearable]

Tomato, tomato.

[ Did it matter? Whatever the bracelets could be rigged with, they're there for a reason. Tracking, discipline - same thing in the long run. ]

I'll be honest with you - [ No. ] - I came here with a pinky intact. I showed that Bigby fellow so what harm is another?

[ She lifts her hand, flexing the digit. ]

No incision, no proof of healing, no stitching or discoloration. Before I woke up among this merry band of strangers? I lived my entire life with this pinky gone.

[ okay, Elizabeth kinda told the truth. ]

Our captors have a science or - or - magic of some such I've never seen.

[The moment she shows him her hand, his own hand comes up to rest his fingers against the scar on his face. How...that's not fair. He seems to consider this for a moment about how someone could attach a finger but not bother fixing a scar and in the end it sort of just pisses him off.]

I've seen some weird things...and we have a type of healing in my world that helps some of the biggest wounds but regrowing fingers? Not likely. [He frowns to himself.] But why's it such a bad thing that you have your pinky back?
