Fia stayed put for a moment, determining her options. This person could hear her, somehow, even though all the sound she was making was her breathing. He seemed dangerous in that aspect. The girl looked weird, as well.
She could either reveal herself to these strange people (who could possibly want to hurt her or help her), or she could stay put. Staying put would leave her with the same options as before, but revealing herself would possibly bring more. If anything, she could run away. She bit her lip. But where did my damned body go? She could still feel it... so it had turned invisible somehow? Impossible. Technology couldn't advance that far, she should be as visible as anything else around here...
But as she thought that, her body faded back into view. She was amazed, but she was still a bit indecisive. She really didn't want to die out here, but she didn't want to get into more trouble, either. She gritted her teeth and decided to stand up, walking forward from the bush. "H-Hello." she mumbled, staring at the ground out of habit. The fact that she was being seen in this horrible cyborg body didn't add to her self-confidence, either.

"Uh... Hi..." Chris said. He didn't have much to say, he was shy, and a little egdy.
"Hi... Wow, cool suit! I would have never thought of something that cool!" Sabrina said, walking up to the newcomer. Chris adjusted his mask, hopeing no one would see anything more than his eyes.

Fia raised an eyebrow, her face somewhat solemn in her indecision. She's... praising whoever did this to me... she thought, somewhat agitated, but she didn't let it show. These kids didn't know what they were talking about. "Hello. My name is Fia. Normally, I'd offer my hand, but I don't really know what will happen if I touch anyone..." she had picked up that the suit would probably magnify anything she did, she didn't want to break an arm simply trying to shake someone's hand. "Where... exactly are we?" she asked quickly, hoping she could get a little bit of information out of these two.

"That's what I've been trying to figure out... And as far as I can tell that suit's something you thought up..." Chris said, then caught himself.
"Yeah, like with my clothes..." Sabrina said, suddenly changing to a loose red T shirt and blue jeans with yellow sneakers. Chris didn't even look, and had his eyes closed, suddenly finding himself probing the minds of the two near him, but running into fog. Then he realized what he was doing.
"I think someone did something to me... It's like I'm reading people's... Nevermind." Chris said, turning towards them, and then back away.

Fia stepped back in amazement as the girl changed her clothes before her eyes. She couldn't believe it. She herself thought this up? Then, is it possible that she...
She looked down at her body and watched as the metal and cogs transformed to her thoughts. Her normal, pale, freckled skin showed up underneath a normal, green v-necked t-shirt and normal jean capris. She even had her beat-up old converses back! She grinned in spite of herself. Wonderful. She wasn't a freak anymore! She looked at herself. "Where did it go?" she asked aloud, then jumped slightly as her robotic hand reappeared over her normal one. So... which one was the illusion? Her body, or the suit?
She looked up as the boy backed away. Clearly, these two had some issues to work out. You think they'd be even a little bit freaked out by the sight of a foreign robot girl, if at the very least for the foreign portion of it.
"So... now what?" she asked, looking to the other two. "We don't know where we are or why we're here, and we don't know who put us here. I say we go find someone who can tell us." she said softly.

"That's what's wrong. There's no one else here." Chris said, his icey blue gaze scanning the expanse of land.
"You don't know how wrong you are Chris." Presdon said, watchng them all through a monitor. He was only watching, waiting for the signal to start the first test.

Fia shivered. No one here, save them? That was a ridiculous notion, but one that chilled her anyway. There had to be people, somewhere, it was impossible... They just had to walk far enough and they'd run across a town, or a house, something...
She looked up to the sky. It had risen high now, it was probably close to noon. Fia wondered absently when the last time she had eaten was, then felt another shiver as she realized that she really couldn't know. Who knew how long she was unconscious back there... At least long enough to put the suit on her without her noticing. Sighing heavily, she turned to face south. "There's gotta be someone. I'm going to find them. You're free to follow me if you wish." She then began walking, away from the river and away from these two odd kids. Her plan was to walk until she found a better way down the waterfall, at which point she would find the river again and continue walking downstream.

"Hey wait!" We need to stick together!" Sabrina shouted running after her franticly. Chris however was thinking hard, when suddenly a camera appeared and raced after Sabrina and the girl. Chris followed behind, intrigued.

Fia folded her arms as she walked away. She was fine with Sabrina and Chris following her, she just wasn't very good for conversation. The girl walked in silence, occasionally reaching up to push some loose hair behind her ears; a comforting habit she had gained when she was small. Fia wasn't sure what she would do with these two... she had never felt responsibility for anyone except herself before now, and it looked as if these two would need their assistance... She sighed heavily. I'm babysitting in the wild. I love this. she thought sarcastically.

"I heard that!" Chris shouted without thinking. Then he noticed his error and just looked at the camera which was now hovering just over Fia, then watched it swoop down to stop infront of her.
"Alright, time for the first mental challenge." Presdon said, readying the hologram projector and himself for the challenge.

Fia froze at Chris's outburst. "No one said anyth---" Her questioning sentence was interrupted by the sight of the camera. What the hell is that doing here? She stared at it, then realized it didn't matter. This camera meant someone would or was watching it, and that someone could help them out. This could be their salvation.
"Hey!" she shouted, moving towards it. It moved with her, staying just out of reach. "Whoever's watching us, we need help!" she addressed it, unsure of who she was talking to, but honestly she didn't really care. She just hoped that the camera was sending feed to someone friendly. Of course, there was no answer, but Fia didn't really expect any. She sighed heavily. "Please... We don't know where we are, I just want to go home."

"I'm afraid you can't." Presdon said, and a projection of him appeared before them all through the camera.
"What the?" Chris said, moving to get a closer look. Sabrina was slightly shocked, and stood behind Chris.
"I have a simple test for you all, but I need to know that you'll cooperate. I promise all answer some of your questions upon completion." Presdon said.

Fia stood back from the hologram. I can't go home? That's impossible as well. There's always a way back home... She frowned, knowing this man was probably pretty involved in whatever they were doing there. The hologram acted in the same way as her shape-changing suit. It wasn't very hard to think about. She studied the hologram's face intently. Something was familiar about him...
At the word 'test', Fia was very suspicious. Tests weren't simple when there wasn't any time to study. "No." she said softly. She just wanted her answers. She didn't want to be tested, and she didn't want to wear the stupid suit. But most importantly... "I just want to go home. Leave me out of this." she finished, moving to walk past the camera.

"I'm afraid you'll have to comply. I would hate to hurt one such as yourself, although there are others here who are less patent." Presdon said.
"If it gets me answers, I'm in." Chris said, not listening to the part about pain. Sabrina nodded that she would do it.
