( ⋇ ↘ )┊ AS the clock atop a metal desk ticked closer to 10:00, the more restless the rooms’ occupant grew. The Promethean paced her room, holding in her pale hands a sheet of paper so worn it could rip at the first quick pull. Vacant red eyes flicked between the scrawled note in her hands and the clock face, stalling for time. It had only been a few hours since she had received a memo regarding the days meet and greet, the Trainee’s that had displayed unique abilities finally being brought in a group to meet with the Specialists and begin their training. She was uneasy, uncomfortable with the idea of being in a room, surrounded by people and having to explain what made her a Specialist, and display some of her ability. While she was intrigued to see what some of the other Empowered could do, the prospect of having to take a turn in the spotlight made her want to just hole up in her room all day. Another glance down at the letter however, put a quick end to that dream, seeing a sentence of cursive scribbled onto the bottom of her memo, from the Director of OMNI, telling her that she needed to be there.
Tinsley let herself sigh as she approached her desk, discarding the paper for a brush. As much as she may have wanted to avoid this, she knew that she couldn’t shirk this responsibility. Not only had she agreed to help this organization, OMNI, she couldn’t stand the thought of the people, the Trainee’s, being unable to protect themselves due to her absence. The thought weighed heavily upon her, attempting to swallow down her own discomfort as she attempted to make herself somewhat presentable. This entailed a very basic regime, brushing hair, washing face, checking stitches and nails were in their proper places, and brushing her teeth. This would usually take someone no time at all, but Tinsley was far from normal, having to take things slow, and gently to avoid breaking them.
She exited her room with less than five minutes to spare to make it to the training room, starting a slow pace. As she walked, she wondered what she should say for an introduction, or what she should do for a display of her power. Just a look at her should make it obvious she wasn’t from this reality. She wracked her brain as she walked on auto pilot, into the room and straight to one of the far corners. Chairs had been pulled out for the gathering, and Tinsley selected one that sat in a small row, facing the much larger grouping of empty seats. Staring across the chairs, the Promethean tried to sink lower in her chair, not wanting to imagine all of those seats being filled, and facing her. She shifted, facing the wall as she pulled out a small travel sized pocket dictionary, the book well-worn from use. She filled through the pages, searching for the words introduction, and display, trying to figure out what she would do. How was she supposed to teach a group of strangers to defend themselves? She worried to herself.
