Adrian sat in his cell/room working on a little art project. They never give Adrian enough clay to make anything human sized so he could have to be satisfied with making small golems. Though if he felt like it Adrian could make the golem he was working on so detailed it could talk and like like a real human. It disturbed him when they did. So Adrian. Made a simple humanoid shape and caved in the part where the face was so it didn't develop a personality by accident. Adrian held disinfect finger out and concentrated. A small flame flickered to life and Adrian smiled. He had been getting better at this. Pressing the flame against the small clay golem it burst into flames and it looked more like a tree, more alive as it absorbed the flames into itself. Adrian smiled and set the small golem down, " Welcome into the world my promethian. I will name you.... Ren." Adrian decided and taking a small tool carved its name into the empty space were a face would be. Once named the golem began to move and look around. Ren was looking to be a curious little golem as it roomed around the cell/room

Amelia daydreamed in her room, hands on the back of her head. The ceiling which her eyes started up at was white, and the walls were too. It was boring. What time was it now? Her head moved to glance over at a clock on the wall. 10:00 A.M.? Huh. She leaned forward, moving her hands behind her as to support her. She needed to do something. She hopped off of her bed, grabbed the pills on the nightstand, and put them in her pocket. Turns out, she grabbed the pills right on time. A roaring flame seemed to burst up into her throat, searing and burning the inside of it. Amelia knew this wasn't true, and she also knew the acid wouldn't do anything... But it still hurt like fire. Tears came to her eyes as she frantically pulled out the container of pills. She opened to bottle, desperately shaking the bottle for one of the pills made especially for this. One plopped onto the open palm of her glove. Unable to spare her hands, she summoned the cup which held water with her mind. The pill placed itself in her mouth, she downed the water.


The pill had, luckily, gone down too. Fortunately for her, it stopped the fires immediately. A sigh of annoyance escaped her throat. She hated how whenever she didn't want to summon the acid, it was one of the most painful things to endure. Amelia took a breath of air again. No need to panic. Amelia grabbed the plastic cup that laid itself on the floor, thrown down in her desperation. She wiped it off, and placed it back neatly on the nightstand. Amelia walked away from her bed this time, and opened the door. A flush of light greeted her eyes, different from the barely lit room she owned. She could hardly see because of her adjusting eyes, but the sounds were quite 'visible' to her. Voices, talking and chatting. Some whispering. Some shouting. She groaned, leaving the entrance of her door gingerly. She used her arm to block out the more intense of lights, arm lightly moving along the wall because of her blinded state.


Finally, it wore off, and she was able to look around the area without trouble. How on Earth had she ended up at the library..? The strawberry blonde was confused. And lost. She moved towards a couch and sat on it. Well, she didn't really know this place as it was. And she wasn't seven going any place special, so this is fine. Her eyes spotted some people in the room, laughing and being obnoxious. Her ears had automatically blotted them out, but she decided to listen to them for a second. And she scowled at what they were saying. "Did you SEE the way I hit that guy? HA, he was down before I even broke a sweat!" one guy said this, only one, but it was enough for Amelia to block out that group. Amelia really didn't know what to do, but she was there.

Cecily was growing irritated, and that was very unlike her. Yet this facility was making her unlike herself anyways. Her only lovely place was the library, yet there was a group of obnoxious kids chatting her ear off as she read. Growing frustrated, she used her one position that she was given as a library volunteer. She shushed the group at first, but they had not even heard her due to their loud natures. She was growing even angrier, and was pretty sure that she was going to throttle the boys.


"I would appreciate if you were quiet. There are others trying to read."


Once again, she was unheard. This was growing even more frustrating for her. Dealing with people like this back at home frustrated her too. So she knew that there were a bunch of people like that everywhere. She eventually went back to categorizing the books by Author's name in alphabetical order. They were increasing in volume to her anger. Next, Cecily was up in the boy's area.


"I apologize, but due to your volume, I must ask you to leave."


One of the boys, which she assumed was the leader, stood up. He got right into her face. His breath stunk, and Cecily wondered if he had ever heard of such a thing called toothpaste. He was challenging her in a way that she might have to just use her powers in a way of self-defense. He was saying such vulgar and impolite words to the blue haired girl. That was until Mr. Filler had stepped in politely. Sven Filler had powers of his own ability, such as coercion. He had the power of a siren almost, instructing the boys to leave politely. Cecily had found it quite unfair that staff could use their own abilities, but categories like herself could not.


"There you are, Miss Cecily."


She instantly glared at the authority figure, who had seemed to get the idea and left. With a blink of her eyes, she went back to categorizing, and taking a little notice of the pink haired girl sitting in silence.

Amelia watched with a bit of respect as the raven-haired girl tried to ward of the idiots, doing so in a rather polite manner. She took note that there was at least ONE person she didn't hate right away. Seeing as the girl was straightening books and such, Amelia leaned back on the sofa into a more relaxed position and looked at the girl. Her face looked disinterested, but she still spoke nonetheless. "Thanks for doing that. Those idiots were getting annoying," she stated without a hint of sarcasm.


The word idiot for her really meant nothing, since it applied to almost everyone she meant. And thus, she enjoyed flaunting the word about her. "What are you in for?" she inquired, completely serious. Amelia did want to know, but she may come off as blunt if she said something like 'Why are you here? What class, what's your name, favorite color...' Or maybe what she was thinking was the opposite... Who knew? She wasn't all that good with people. And thus, Amelia kept her gaze on the blue-haired girl whom seemed like she was one of the more intelligent people Amelia had met in this facility.

Remo was in his room doing martial arts training own remembering being taught by a old Mafia buddy.In his room it was always cool an never got hot because his powers cooled the area around him if he wanted it to or not so people often say he has a relaxing mood about him.He often did this ever time he wake up and before he cleaned up and went out to wonder around .He walked around to go get something to eat and going to see if he could find something to keep him entertained.


"OK I full for now its roaming time lets see what I can get myself into to day" yelling out to whoever could hear


"lets make today a fun day " he was often met with awkward and other kind of stares because of where we were


"Ok then I will take my leave then good day to you all" as he left for somewhere else

 

[St. Boethius]

Adrian opened the door to his cell and the small golem Ren waddled out with him as he made his way to the library. Just as he was arriving a group of rather obnoxious boys came walking out looking like a beat dog. Adrian smiled when he that, at least someone in there wouldn't stand for thier rudeness. When Adrian walked in he inhaled deeply, enjoying the silence. Ren the Golem wandered around the library as Adrian went through looking for books on old Greek mythology.


Ren ended up bumping into the shoe of a blue haired girl. The 2ft golem looked up at the girl curiously and poked at her leg as if trying to figure out why she was different than it.

Joe sighed and opened a flask. Delectable wine flowed from within, landing in his mouth. He sighed in satisfaction as the succulent wine went down his throat. "Good thing I stocked up on it, probably have at least enough to make wine worthless in the world. Poor Italy, losing one of it's main businesses." He went to take another swig, but scowled when he found it empty. He grabbed another one, and drank once more. "So then, what shall I do?" He put his flask away, and got out a cigarette, inserting it into his mouth. He lit the cigarette, and puffed. "I really don't get how people think wine and cigarette's are detrimental to ones health, I drank VX Gas and that wasn't, so what's a little wine?" He puffed once more, still trying to decide where to go. "Ah screw it, lets get something to eat, because despite what my soldiers used to think, I can't sustain myself off of wine and cigarettes only." He got up and started making his way to the cafeteria.

 

[Milah]

"Apparently I'm here because I was an illegal PG&M child they had not caught for about most of my life. What about you?"


Cecily was growing impatient with the facility's staff. They hadn't stated why she was placed in the facility yet, but she knew why. It was just frustrating for them not to admit. Though she did enjoy toying with the prospect of going into the Monster category in front of them. She did not feel any guilt.


She then took notice of something knocking into her boot. She appeared a little surprised that it was a clay figure. The little creature looked as bewildered as her to see him. He was about two feet, and that was almost half of the blue haired girl's height. So far, this facility was not letting her expectations down.

Once Adrian had found the books he wanted he had spent the last 5 minutes trying to find his Golem Ren, " Ren~ where are you?" He whispered as he searched the Library. He finally managed to find Ren as it seemed to be looking over a blue haired girl. Adrian. Didn't know is what Ren would do to the poor girl so he quickly went up to them, " Ren there you are. I wondered where you went. I hope you didn't do anything indecent while I was away." Adrian told his Golem before looking up at the blue haired girl and the person. Near her, " I'm sorry I hope he didn't do anything to you. You can imagine how curious something that was born 10 minutes ago would be." Adrian said in a low whisper.

[MoltenLightning]

Amelia shrugged. "That about matches my story too. But with with my own personal twist, of course." she explained, a little pleased she was actually able to talk to someone intelligent. "So, since you're here in this facility... I'm assuming you got something about you, like an ability, right?" she questioned, fairly interested. The interest for her peaked when the small little clay figure became known to her eyes. She looked at it like it was a small little dog, curious and irrational. She smiled. And then the guy around the corner came, and she pushed those emotions off. What was this guy like, she wondered. He apologized very quietly, which hardly mattered for Amelia. She listened to him, and came to the conclusion that he had something to do with this clay figure. Did he find it somewhere, or maybe... Bring it to life? She had to admit, that would be a very intriguing power. She shifted herself on the couch, silently awaiting something of a response or an interesting event to appear out of the blue.

Leo groaned as he rolled himself out of bed. He was up all night finishing some random chemistry book that caught his eye in the library yesterday afternoon. Now sitting at the end of his bed, Leo took a peek back at the book sitting next to his bed. "I must actually be pretty lucky to have grabbed this power before getting here," he mumbled. He then turned back around and stared at his hand and smiled when it started glow like a light bulb.


Eventually, Leo had finished getting ready for the day and was ready to get some more reading in. As soon as he snatched up his book, Leo was outside and in the library. He took a look around at all the people like him reading, talking, or doing other various activities. "Why would you want to do that in group? It's unnecessary and distracting," he muttered as he walked deeper into the library. After a minute of walking, Leo found a group of three people.. and a clay golem? Sitting down near a bookshelf that he was planning on taking a look at today. Now, Leo wasn't completely anti-people, he just wasn't comfortable with them, so the answer to his dilemma was simple. Ask them politely if it would be a bother for him to take a look at the shelf, so close to where the were sitting. As he got closer he started to see that they probably wouldn't like his idea, especially the girl with the long, strawberry blonde hair. Finally he approached the pod of people. "Excuse me guys, I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much of a hindrance to you if I spent some time looking at books at the shelf right here?" Leo asked in a low whisper as he pointed to the shelf right next to them. He said it with a bored expression leaving Leo uncertain what they would think.

Amelia was awaiting the answer from the blue haired girl, leaning against the fluffy cushion. Her gloved hands held her odd, pink and soft blonde hair, which was an enigma to Amelia in itself. She felt a burst of the acid from her palms, but it was absorbed as quickly as it had appeared. Amelia was actually enjoying herself. Until, of course, another guy came over and started mumbling something. She heard him, sure, but her face became that of a slight scowl. "Could you speak up? I can 'hardly' hear you." she stated with a healthy does of sarcasm, moderately annoyed. She was suddenly reminded of what Monsters had to deal with, getting even more angry at that system of punishment. Her anger subsided. The cross expression soon passed and she sighed, beckoning him towards the shelves. She made a sweeping motion towards the shelves. "Learn to be a little louder, maybe. Others may not be able to hear you." she asserted, not mentioning herself. Amelia looked at the shelves which he had asked to view, kicking one of her crossed legs in the air absentmindedly. Or rather, her foot.


@Grimmlock

 

[Grimmlock]

Leo listened as the girl with the long hair spoke. When he spoke to him the first time, he detected a sense of superiority and sarcasm, but then she stopped herself and gave him advice, and not to mention beckoned him toward the shelves. It seemed a little strange, but Leo wasn't going to argue. He nodded at the girl and brushed some hair out of his face before he positioned himself at the shelf. Leo soon found two titles that intrigued him and took them out of the shelf gently. As he was looking for a third, Leo turned his head just enough so that he could see the girl on the couch again. It seems like she just doesn't like people... respectable, but what made her decide to talk to me differently? Leo thought, turning his head back around. Finally, Leo found a third book to check out. He put the stack in his arms and stood up, looking back at the group and this time, spoke a little louder. "Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for letting me intrude." Leo kept the same bored expression and turned around, starting toward the check out desk.

Remo grabed a couple more snacks trying to figure where he shoulhed head to he looked around the place not really without a real place to go just saying hello to people who where moving on if they respond or not .But for the must part just trying to find something to do "Oh man theirs not much to do but I guess that's normal but OK its fine like they say if you don;t have something to do make something to do "as a small smirk crossed his face while thinking of away to entertain himself "Yeah that might do yeah that will work out great find a buddy but before that there the problem I have to deal with first well I need to focus on what happened before "eating the rest of his food

 

[MoltenLightning]

Amelia closed her eyes and allowed the guy to look at the shelves, unbiased. Right up until he started talking again. She noted the way he increased his volume, but the words themselves irritated her. 'You don't have to grovel in front of us. It was just a small favor...' She thought, annoyance visible in her face. But, she held her tongue. No need to be so rude... She did not shift her expression of irritation, but she refused to speak. Amelia suddenly remembered that this place had classes. Huh. Had she participated in those? No... She was way too new. This whole thing was still confusing to her, and it frustrated that she did not understand it. The boy she had been talking to was beginning to leave, but she still found his over-politeness a bit much. She bore into him but just did not say a single thing.


Eventually, she looked away. As if offended, which in reality was partially true. She wasn't someone of respect, especially since she hadn't known him for that long. On the inside, she sneered. But eventually, she would be known. There wouldn't be a reason for her not to be respected, and she would never have to get angry at those whom didn't deserve it. Those who irritated her, though... Never again. There wouldn't be people like that. Not in HER world. If that ever came true... She dismissed the odd thought for now, which had almost clouded her conscious of a rather strange emotion.

Cecily listened to how the pinkette's story was just like her own. Probably not exactly, but similar. Taking her attention back to the creature. She noticed somebody calling out to the golem. It was a boy, and she was a bit intrigued about his abilities. He could bring things to life. Perhaps Project Gods and Monsters didn't make her feel so isolated from everything.


"He was born just ten minutes ago? That's quite interesting."


She turned her attention towards the pink haired girl. She was inquiring about her own ability. That was the first time that somebody wasn't trying to manipulate her into using her regeneration for the greater "good." The reason why she was doing that was because a high official of PG&M was growing quite ill. Call her selfish, but she was not going to become somebody's stupid tool to help others all her life. That was not her. That was for people who did want to go into the medical profession. All she wanted was her flowers back.


"Pardon, my ability? You may call me a manipulator of plants and sorts. That's about it."


Cecily was not sure what to even call her ability. All she knows is that PG&M tried to convince her to become a God. That didn't work as they planned. She ended up staying silent during the mental exam. Refusing food or water for a couple of days unless they would release her. That was the only way she could remain in control of the situation. She had to play differently in their game. Theresa something also tried to convince her to at least speak. The psychologist ended up growing even more frustrated as she was the only one rambling in the god awful room.


A voice had caught her ear, noticing that she was in front of a bookshelf that someone had been trying to get to. It was another person, a boy to be exact. As a library volunteer, she could not deter another's love for books. That would be a crime, well maybe not a crime as Project G&M, but close enough.


"Oh, that is no problem indeed. May I help with any recommendations?"


She waited for an answer, but the animosity growing between the two made her a little uncomfortable. She shifted awkwardly a bit. Turning over to the girl, she looked at her too. Perhaps it was the uncertainty of being new. Hell, she was just as new. This place was an old Japanese Concentration Camp that was turned into a nicer, finished facility. It reminded her more of a prison. Looking at the time, she realized something. It was almost time for their first orientation of the Psychology class.


"If I may inquire, you do not happen to have the Psychology class coming up do you?"


@MoltenLightning @SleepyBuddha @Grimmlock

 

[St. Boethius]

Adrian knelt next to Ren the Golem and whispered in his ear to go back to their room and make sure everything is nice and neat. With that the little golem walked away stumbling a few times as it went as if it wasn't entirely sure on how to walk just yet.


Adrian got back up and addressed what Cecily had asked, " I do have Psychology know that you mention it.... I'm sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Adrian Peterson. It's nice to meet you." He said stretching his hand out to her.

 

[MoltenLightning]

Amelia heard the blue haired girl speak again, realizing just how rude she was actually being herself. She diverted her attention back over to her. Plants, huh? Interesting. Realization dawned on Amelia's face as Cecily spoke those last words, and she quickly became pale. "Oh. Yes, yes I do. Thank you for reminding me," She stated, quickly standing up. The hair she owned became loaded with a large amount of static, after sitting on the couch and shifting around that much. The moment she got up, her hair seemed to float up of its own accord or stick to her back. As she left the couch even further, her hair floated aimlessly behind her. This wasn't even because of her ability, and it was forcing her into another indignant state. So, she smoothed it against her back with some frustration. Eventually, she just started patting it down aggressively.


To Amelia's dismay, it attached itself to her gloves and got stuck on her sleeves. Finally, she just gave up and looked at the girl with raven hair. "Um... My name is Amelia." she introduced, seeing as she had forgotten to. Afterwards, she cleared her throat. "So, where is this room at exactly?" she inquired, desperate yet trying to stay calm. There was a small quiver in her voice, showing her annoyance and desperation. She knew there was some sort of class system here! She exhaled at her own incompetence. She really needed to get her act together.

"The pleasure is all mine, Adrian and Amelia. I am Cecily Harley," she reciprocated Adrian's handshake, "but, I do inquire. What is your classification? That is how our classes are based on. I remember in the list that it had a few teachers specifically working with those in the categories. Let me check."


Cecily ran very quickly to the library counter. Her bag she kept should have had all the papers. In a rush, her papers scattered everywhere. Making her feel a bit flustered at herself. How unladylike of her. With a bit of a hurrying rush, she picked up all the papers. It was about fifteen minutes before the class started. Perhaps a few more mistakes and she could just be labeled as clumsy on her data file here also. She searched and searched through the papers.


A few of the papers were not even relevant to anything right now. She remembered the small papers that they gave her which stated a introductory letter from the elusive Superintendent Jean Maxwell. Now that she thought of it, some said that Jean Maxwell was the first God. How amazing it would be to ask how the program was to her, and she was curious to why she was still working with the program. Jean Maxwell was said to have the power to shapeshift and take on another's abilities. Which also rendered her opponents weak.


Cecily was going to find the paper, until she decided to just pick up the shuffled papers.


"Have any of you guys ever seen Jean Maxwell?"


@MoltenLightning @SleepyBuddha @Grimmlock

 

[St. Boethius]

Adrian thought back, " I don't think so.... the name sounds familiar though..." Adrian had heard about Jean when he was still in God classes. There was an entire section about the man and the contributions he had made to the program. " As for my classification I am a balanced. I used to be a God but I had a disagreement with a teacher so...." Adrian said just letting his sentence trail off.


Ren the golem has in fact not gone back to the room as it wasn't entirely sure what their room was and just continued wandering through the facility. Ren managed to bump into a few God students the obnoxious children that were in the Library.

 

[Altaynna]

Wandering down the hallways, Evelyn ignored Malum and Dolor as they spoke to her. She had been unaware they were only in her head until she had spoken to them and someone had told her that no one had said anything. Since then she had been diagnosed as Schizaphrenic until this academy had found her.


What are you doing? You should be causing havoc. You could hurt these idiots. You could kill all of them and leave this place.





Keeping her head up and pretending she didn't have a maniac in her head, she peered around the rooms, trying to find the right one. "Hello? Can someone help me find the library?"

 

[Grimmlock]

Leo noticed the look of irritation on the long haired girl before he turned around and walked away. "Uh, I thought that was how you were supposed to talk to people... I wonder what I did wrong." He grumbled as he walked to the checkout desk. A few moments later he saw the same raven-haired girl from the group, running frantically and gathering papers. He knew it would probably be strange and awkward for him to return back, but the name Jean Maxwell and talk about his classes piqued his interest. Leo turned around with his newly checked out books and followed the girl from a distance. Soon enough, he was back at the same place where he was just minutes ago. Leo came up behind the girl with the blueish haired girl and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, and with a nervous chuckle asked, "Did someone say something about psychology class?"

[Scythio]

Enfys was wandering around the halls, focusing on the paper in their hand. They're supposed to go to this area, but it didn't say how to get there, only a random combination of letters and numbers. Their free hand went up and scratched at their collar. Suddenly, they heard some voices. Enfys couldn't tell what they were saying, but it seemed to be coming from the room up to their left. They entered the room and saw four people inside. Maybe one of them could help?


"He-Helluh?(Hello?)" Enfys's voice was brimming with anxiety as they spoke.
