Christopher watched the guards chase the unfamiliar girl with interest, and was now completely distracted from his earlier thought process. He tucked his hands into his pockets and leaned against the wall as he watched the girl evade the guards. He let out a slight wislte at her impressive acrobatic feats, but quickly looked away with embarasment when he saw her compromising position. The guards looked around in confusion and he offered no assitance, makeing sure he stayed out of their way as they headed down the stairs. When the guards had finally gone the girl came down from her hidden perch and sat against the wall in silence. With deliberate slowness Chris walked over to the girl and offered one of his hands.

Thorn zoned out for a moment, then noticed that the boy had not only NOT gone away, but had also walked over and held out a hand. Well, he DIDN'T call the guards and rat her out, so she owed him, which sorta stunk but better than teh latter option.
She took it, and lifted herself up. "Thanks. Yeah, sorry if I scarred your innocent little eyes there; as you could see I was kinda desparate and didn't really have alot of choice there. And no free shows, FYI! Just makin' myself clear." she added quickly; that would be what most men asked back in teh big city, , and that wouldn't surprise her after she kinda had to scar him, so she had to make herself clear of her boundries.

Chris gave her a quizzical look then started into a speech that had just come to mind. "If you flee it only enforces the misconception of your guilt." said pausing to let his words sink in before finishing his thought.
"We are somewhat like a pack of animals in this place, with the good doctor as pack master." "Like the animals we evolved from we have three instinctual reactions to danger, fight, flight, or appease." he said quietly.
"Obveously fighting is what got you into this mess, and if you continue to flee like an animal they will hunt you down like an animal and kill you." he said looking into her eyes to emphasize how serious he was.
"With the first two options gone, you must try to appease them, or more importantly, the pack leader." he said this with a little smile. "You've got to see the man in charge and explain the situation to him before they find you."he said gazeing towards the stairs that led to the fourth floor.
As an after thought he leand in close and wispered his question, makeing sure no one was around "Are you gifted too?"

Thorn raised an eyebrow at the boy; darn, he was MUCH more innocent than she realized! He needed an education, and quick. After all, she owed him now, might as well make it good and even. She kept her voice low and even toned throughout her whole speech, as not to attract any more guards.
"So.....let me get this straight; I became guilty by ACCIDENTLY finding out my power by merely LOOKING at the guard who was being a dumb*** to begin with (he froze onto the ground for some reason; I'm guessing somehow a glare paralyized him. It'd explain why I have only eye pains....), then pray to God or whomever that he'll be un-sick enough to actually look at it correctly?! HA! That's hilarious; you have good humor, I'll admit! Such a funny innocent boy....
And what makes you think he's not just gonna knock me out and play doctor again? I don't even know WHAT ELSE he did to me while I was asleep; all I remember is screaming my lungs out and he's laughing manically! For all I know he stole things from me I can't replace! Give me ONE GOOD REASON to go to such a sick b*****d!
Oh, and by the way; just so you know, I once had a pack I was in. I still am loyal to MY pack leader only (bless her deseased soul), and the rest of them were betrayers from day one! I walk the line for no one but myself, otherwise I wouldn't even BE here right now! I will NOT trust that sick doctor!" she finished looking at him with folded arms, her eyes back to normal color but still angry.
"And the world doesn't work like that, with all rainbows and ponies, I hope you realize?"

Chris took a step back, unsure of where this sudden venom had come from. After a moment in which he slid his glasses back up the bridg of his nose with a finger he spoke. "Im not your enemy" he said a little hurt. " I was just trying to help you."
He turned around and stood facing the stairs. "I never said that you have to like the situation. But right now this is the system in which we exist."
With a sigh he continued "As for the experiment part, I cannot guarantee that he wont mess with you again." He looked at her again and gave a slight smile "But I can offer you some sound logic. If he wanted you as just an experiment I doubt very much that he would let you out and about like you are now." He looked down at his hands, slowly examining them as he continued. "Either our day to day lives are part of a greater experiment, one I have yet to figure out, or your incident was an unforseen incident."
He looked back at the girl again and said with a little chuckle "At least you can take solace in the fact that your are probably to valuable to be thrown away."
"By the way" he said walking towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor, "You may have had it harder than me, but dont think me quite so innocent>"

((Ah well... since nobody's saving me, I'll save myself.))
Hal struggled to get loose from the obviously enraged guard. "Get-"
the hell did she think she's doin' I asked her a question and she nearly ********' kills me nobody does that to me not even those damn doctor's brats
"-off!"
Hal blinked and stopped struggling as the strangest sensation came into her mind. It was like the man had been yelling at her again, only this time his mouth hadn't moved. And it had left a multitude of sensations in her mind - rough stone, orange and dull green, cigarette smoke, and... cherry pie?
"Where do you get cherry pie around here?" Hal asked without thinking about it.
The man blinked and stopped shaking her. "Huh?" he asked, train of thought completely derailed.
They stared at each for a few more seconds until two more guards ran up. "We heard the emergency signal, Dave," one of them panted. "What's up?"
Dave shook his head to bring himself back to the present. "Uh - right!" he said. "One of those kids used her powers on me. This way!"
He let go of Hal and led the other two down the hall. Hal watched them go, rubbing her shoulders thoughtfully. What had happened with that guard? Was that her power - hearing thoughts? Then why the rest of it?
"Not going to figure out anything standing here," Hal muttered. She stood up, brushing herself off. She was about to leave when a spot of crimson caught her eye.
Hal walked a few paces down the hall and picked up a book. Its cover was bright red and had some sort of intricate design on it. The title read: Crimson Tales.
"Hello, what's this?" Hal murmured. She stroked the cover absently. She was pretty sure it hadn't been here when she first came this way. Maybe one of the students had dropped it?
"I'll bring it to dinner and see if anyone claims it," she decided. A grin split her face. "Maybe that'll earn me a friend or two."
Whistling, Hal tucked the book under her arm and headed down to the cafeteria. The cherry pie mind-flavor had reminded her how hungry she was.

((I figured he would've gotten up and chased Thorn by now, but that works to. xd )) "Well, trying to help or not, no words will change the fact that a simple accident has now screwed me over. I've heard words of consideration before, hasn't done a d*mn thing to help me. And I don't believe in following such a crappy system, nor that doctor. But if you wanna follow that jerk with your tail between your legs, be my guest.
I dunno what are lives mean anymore, or why we're all still here. And HA! I'm valuable? Since when did that happen?" she chuckled dryly as the boy made one of his final sentences."
She sighed as the boy began to leave, and something suddenly happened that the girl didn't expect.
Being trapped in a cage.....lashing out at everyone, knowing no one was going to ever be on her side.......betryal.....death...lonliness.......being unwanted....
Her body suddenly let out a hic-like sound, and Thorn froze in both fear and unwanted surprise. Oh dear gawd, was she SERIOUSLY going to cry?! No, she was gonna hold it back, and she turned it into a hacking cough for a few moments...just like always. Everytime she ever wanted to cry, she sucked it up. It was no new thing to her; merely moving away her weakness. Her body occasionaly liked to crack; it just needed to shut it once and for all!
"Ack, stupid throat, always getting irritated...." she mumbled. "Well, I'd better let you go I go and get you in trouble for just being around me. I thank you for your help earlier though; don't think I've forgotten. *hi-COUGH*" she then quickly made her way away in to the lonliness of another hall, wrapping her arms around herself once out of his site. Just head to teh bathrooms....or would they check there first? She didn't know where to go anymore. SHe was like a lost, misunderstood puppy, wandering about in the rain.

With a shrug Chris let the girl walk away. "it was just a suggestion" he muttered. He thought about following her but decided against it. It seemed like she needed some time alone. Besides with the guards distracted he had the perfect opportunity to put his plan into action.
An hour later, after many trips and alot of sneaking about, Chris had managed to drag his matress, clothes, and other valuable posessions down to a quiet and forgotten corner of the library. Panting slightly he put the finishing touches on his new room and laid down on the matress, grinning all over. He new the guards would probably come looking for him but he didnt care, he was living amogst an entire library.
I'll shift the shelves around daily so no one will find my stuff. Besides its not like many people come here anyway. he thought still smiling. Satisfied he reached for abook, but before he had selected one his stomach gave a little grumble. With a slight frown CHris stood up and gave the books one final glace. Ill be back soon he thougt. Then he shuffled off towards the caeferia.

((Well, yeah - I kind of posted after-the-fact on that one, figuring the guard you originally paralyzed would have been one of the three chasing you. So Hal's stealing your book and wandering downstairs right now. 3nodding ))

((yeah, that was what I had meant. Gotcha. Well, Thorn is just wandering around as well, trying not to get caught, flashbacking on her life. xd )) Thorn spent a unknown amount of time just wandering around, unsure of what to do anymore. Her body was now tired from all the unusual running; she needed to get back into shape. Her body cried out for food, but she ignored it; now wasn't a good time. Chances are she'd be caught if she went back to her dorm or anywhere near anything, even though she'd just be behaving. Why did SHE always have to end up with the crappy luck?! Out of all powers, it was one that only required looking at a guy. Great, was she just supposed to wear a freakin blindfold everywhere she went now?
She kicked the wall in anger and cursed loudly, then looked around in paranoia, then walked ahead of her faster. She knew she could only hold up for so long...
And what was with that boy earlier? Did he SERIOUSLY expect her to go and apologize for something that the Dirty Doctor did to begin with? Where was this so called justice taht the police believed so firmly in that they didn't realize that this wasn't the address to a SCHOOL? Idiots; ANOTHER reason why you should trust no one but yourself; because everyone else will do someting to screw you up for life.
Her parents, her gang group, police, other kids, the doctor; all had one thing in common: they couldn't be trusted for anything! SHe had nothing to live FOR.....then why didn't she just end her misery now?
The only one who hadn't let her down was Amanda; plesant woman to talk to, once she gets past the suspicion that you're not evil. She could remember clearly the night that Amanda had saved Thorn; back when she used to be Mary Ann Grace.
She was tired and cold, huddling quietly in a blanket on teh street alley, scared to death and younger than she is now. Her glasses kept icing up, and her pretty girly look was hidden under the blanket. The night was dark and cold, with a few lights on left. Everyone past her without a second glance, figuring her asleep. Til another came by. Her hair was also long and black, but this woman was much taller and wore a black sweatshirt, dark jeans, and sneakers. She had the look of a model, and it was obvious that the clothes didn't do her justice.
The woman walked right by, froze, and walked backwards, doing a double take. "Well, this is intersting, wonder if she's asleep...." the young lady then poked the small child, who immediately jumped and backed away, still wrapped up in a burrito style.
"Hey, hey; don't be scared, kid! I don't harm nobody that don't harm me." she tried to soothe the girl. "Looks like you've been having it rough, but this really is NOT the best spot to rest. This alley is always full of shadey people; you REALLY don't wanna find out what happens when they come down here- you know what I mean, right?"
But the girl shook her head, the blanket now off her head. "No, miss."
"MISS? Wait, what's your name kid? Never heard of nobody who don't get what I mean by shady people...."
"M-Mary Ann........Grace."
"Mary Ann Grace........the PRIEST'S daughter? Ooooooh, gotcha. He's been controlling your life, right? Oversheltering, all that stuff?"
"...y-yeah. How did you know, miss?"
"Well, let me tell ya a little secret, since you're being so polite-" she then sat down next to the girl and ruffled her head. "I was also born to super-religious folks. So I feel your pain. Never let me go anywhere, do anything, it was more of hell then heaven. So I left too."
"I take it you faired ok, miss?"
"Uh-huh. Oh, and stop calling me miss; makes me feel old! Name's Amanda." she said, holding out the girl's hand to shake. The lump moved a bit, til a hand came out from under the blanket and took the shake.
"Pleasure to meet you mi-ER, Amanda."
"There we go! Hm, I can't just leave you here.......tell ya what, I've got an offer for ya. Since you've survived this long on your own (going by missing person signs, you've been gone for over a month.), why don't you come join the Red Skies. It's pretty much a gang, but not the stereotypical kind; we're like family there. It'll teach you allll about the real world, and you'll finally get a job and get money and stuff."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Though I suggest you go with just the name Grace right now; Mary Ann Grace, no offense, is a dorky name. Dorky parents though. Cmon; let's get you out of the cold and back to base; you'll be safe there."
The two had walked off in the night.
This gave Thorn an interesting thought; should she keep living, for Amanda?

Brynn Syvra was bored. She came out of her room again and looked around trying to find something interesting to do. She decided to wander around randomly. Maybe something interesting will pop up.
((apologies for the short post. there's nothing really for her to do. >.>))

((I am posting for the Doctor first..))
Dave and Mike walked into Dr. Gerard's study, Dave fidgeted nervously with a loose thread in his jacket. He always got nervous around Gerard; almost everyone who knew what he was capable of did.
The doctor sat a large mahogany desk surrounded by monitors, each showing surveillance of a different part of the building. Before him was a large tablet on which he scribbled notes about his subjects.
"Are you aware that subject 712 has moved his bedding into the library?" Dr. Gerard asked Dave in a nonchalant voice, but Dave could see past that, the Dr. was not pleased at his lack of attention.
"No sir, I was preoccupied with subject 677. It seems her power has something to do with paralysis."
"That I have observed. You need to remember your purpose. Do not engage in any other squabbles with our subjects, the both of you. Unless I give the order, you do not touch them, am I understood?"
"Yes sir." They answered in unison.
"Good. Now-" Suddenly there was a knock at the door, cutting off the doctor's words.
"Come in." He said, and in walked a lanky lab worker, whose name plate read Eli.
"You called sir?" He asked, though despite his added height over the doctor, he seemed to cower in his presence.
"Oh why yes, have you deduced the levels of serum in Alice and Dawn?"
"Yes sir, but I wouldn't suggest lowering it any further. As it is Alice has shown an override to the diluted amount."
"I am aware Eli, but it is necessary we not give her any more serum from this point on. I want you to take her in tomorrow night for her final alteration. Then we shall do the same for Dawn."
"But sir-" Eli was silenced when the doctor held up a hand. Eli knew how dangerous it was to let the two girls off the serum. He had seen what both can do, he has witnessed other lab workers get torn to pieces and decapitated. He only hoped that the doctor's plan would work.
Eli nodded, acknowledging the Dr.'s authority and left the room without another word.
"Now then. Where were we? Ah yes, at lights out I want you to sedate our little book worm and place him back in his room. It's prudent that we keep the test area orderly. And do not interfere with 677 any further. If her behavior gets too far out of line, I will deal with her myself. Your dismissed." He finished with a stern look and a wave of his hand. Dave and Mike left the room, leaving the doctor alone with his studies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alice decided that a nap was a bust and realized she was hungry, so headed towards the cafeteria. Ahead of her she saw the girl from earlier.
"Hey! Wait up!" She called, Alice felt bad for ditching her like she did, and quickly caught up to her.
"Um sorry about before...there was alot going on. I'm Alice by the way."

Thorn sighed in a final defeat; she couldn't just run about here forever. Her stomach was crying out for food and her legs were getting sore. Besides, they'd just catch her if she fell asleep, so there was really no point in any of this. She needed to ease her paranoia, and what better way to do so then just stop being the running fool?
Well, at least it had all been for naught; she finally realized now taht she had a goal; to make it out of here alive, for Amanda. Hm, that felt kinda awesome.
She decided first to head to the cafeteria; after all, she had not eaten since before she "somehow" got here in the first place; she had been too angry at the doctor's words to be able to think of eating. Maybe before they took her in she could get one last bite to eat. If she was really lucky, she'd find her book. Well, the library book. Stange, she had an odd habit of claming books....
As she came to the guard in front of the cafeteria, she realized that her luck had turned out good; he wasn't chasing her! SCORE; she was safe! She entered the room and began to look for food.

((So, that Felicia girl... that was a mistake? Because I didn't think you'd let guards get killed.))
"Ah, food! My one true love!" Hal proclaimed as she finally neared the cafeteria. She rubbed her hands together. "Now for some - ah?"
Hal noticed the girl who had run past her earlier going into the cafeteria. That's right - she's the one that has paralysis powers, Hal thought as she remembered her previous encounter. Looks like she's calmed down a little - wonder why she was so scared earlier? Do her powers scare her?
"Hey! Wait up!"
Hal, who had been about to go up and ask the girl about her powers, did a frantic two-step to avoid tripping over her own feet and turned to see the red-haired girl from the hall come running towards her.
The girl slowed when she saw that Hal had stopped for her. "Um, sorry about before..." she apologized. "There was a lot going on. I'm Alice, by the way," she added.
Hal grinned. "No offense taken," she promised. "It did look pretty tense up there. I'm Hal." She offered her hand to Alice. "Want to come get something to eat?"
