Imani was watching everyone's antics with a rather bored expression. He wasn't too into what was happening at the moment, and he was sure he'd approve even less of what they were actually there for. After a couple minutes, he noticed a sudden, intense urge to go and join Gate. He walked over to her with almost no attention being paid to whoever he walked into on his way over. "Gate? Did you call me or somethin'?"

Facepalm!
"That's not what I meant! I meant that you should... ... ...oh nevermind."
'Before' was not the brightest crayon in the box was he, and Theta four (errr...Thor) didn't really feel like explaining it to him.
"You can call me Thor if you want."

Thyme gave a rather resigned nod to that. "Well, perhaps she felt for our attackers what you felt for us," he pointed out, unable to suppress a twinge of guilt. If the others had not been so willing not to attack them, he really, really shouldn't have walked on so quickly, thinking Fedora would be fine with them whether or not she chose to follow. It was not a mistake he was going to make again.
He paused a beat, then added, "I'm sorry about leaving so quickly, before. But we're in this together now." An unseen smile softened his next words. "And we are friends, no matter what this crazy island thinks." He tapped a finger against the side of his pendant. "What do you think they mean by 'Fear,' anyway?"

Gamma Eight gave a triumphant sort of noise and looked to her companion with an invisible grin.
"Everyone else is saying things like that, I thought I'd try..." she reasoned. Those with blue pendants seemed to be controlling those with red pendants in the confusion around her. This could be a blessing or a curse.
"It looks like we're partners for this... 'test'."

BXI's bubble of serenity cracked and slowly began to shatter as the voice sounded over the intercom once more and began explaining exactly what was going on here. When her pendant started glowing, she felt a faint wave of relief, but it wasn't enough to keep her from shuddering, even though the glow was far from blue. She was so certain that she had been stronger than this in the life she couldn't remember. She should have taken the lead from the start, not flailed about with her band-aids or ran screaming into the corn. Well, she was going to take the lead now. If they expected her to start commanding people to sing or scratch themselves or kill each other, they had another thing coming.
With a defiant stomp of her foot, BXI tugged her pendant back over her head and squeezed it angrily in her palm. At that moment she was fairly determined to keep it off, to refuse to play their game, whoever they were, but she had been broken so easily by this place before that it was almost a given that she would relent at some point.

He was right, but it still didn't make it... well, right. "I was fine, really. And yes, we are friends, no matter what."
Fedora patted his shoulder, standing straight again. "I don't know. Maybe something that scares us? Or something we use to scare others? It doesn't make much sense... but I will try to figure out more once the... person in charge... says more."

Eta XII suddenly felt an overwhelming compulsion to walk. Her body moved on its own, weaving around one person after another until she finally positioned herself, most deliberately, to the left of one of the red pendant carriers. She assumed this was her Command. "Hi," she greeted him. "I'm Pikachu, you?"

Eta VII nodded to Delta I as she saw the other notice her. Maybe they'd get lucky and be teamed up? She could hope, at least. Suddenly her pendant began to glow more brightly, and she shivered as the temperature seemed to drop. Her pack suddenly started to feel lighter, and she looked in it to see her gear disintegrating. A sick weight in her stomach informed her that this had been a very bad idea. So someone in this room could command her, and she couldn't do anything about it... She was sort of glad not to be in the command position, but she did not like the idea of being forced to follow someone else's orders. But all she could do was wait and see what order was given, right? When Theta III spoke, she started to walk over without even thinking. It was disconcerting, but a brief attempt to fight it only made her almost trip, so she let it happen. "Hi, I'm Eta VII," she replied, introducing herself as requested.

Amon Larethian Facepalm! "That's not what I meant! I meant that you should... ... ...oh nevermind." 'Before' was not the brightest crayon in the box was he, and Theta four (errr...Thor) didn't really feel like explaining it to him. "You can call me Thor if you want." pose didn't change, still on alert and carefully watching the Commanders as they one by one called to their FEAR wielders. FEAR huh? It was a strange name for a power. "I like Thor. It's a good name. The norse god of thunder and storms." Apparently, while Bix was bad at almost everything physical he could pull that weird obscure knowledge from somewhere. " Before really likes nicknames. I have to admit they are a lot easier to remember than these weird numbers." He didn't want to say anything bad about Before, especially with him so close by. The other beta reminded him of a younger sibling.. or something. He couldn't place it. Either way, despite the spastic nature of his friend he really enjoyed his company. He also made Bix look tough and that was certainly an achievement.

Thinking back to the intercom's message, Thyme reflexively rubbed at his jaw, only to have his gloved hand connect with the edge of the gas mask in a dull clunk. Gah.
He let his hand drop back to Fedora's shoulder with a light pat as he thought aloud. "The man said that the energy in the room is concentrated to a level that would have a dire consequence on the human body." A chill passed over him. "And that the blue pendants had an even higher concentration of that energy." Suddenly, he wasn't so sure that he wanted this... this thing lying around his neck, right above his heart.
There was a movement caught in his peripheral vision, and Theta Nine turned his head slightly to see BXI tug her pendant over her head. He tensed to call a warning, but his words tangled up in his throat, and the deed was already done, besides.

Fedora turned to look at where Thyme's gaze was, and visibly twitched, wincing, as BXI tugged the pendant back over her head. "That... was a bad idea." She murmured softly to Thyme, turning to face him, her hand reaching up to press against his chest, right over the pendant. "I have a bad feeling about this... I don't think we should take them off at all."
(( Worktime! I will be back at 11pm PST time. <3 ))

Of course, he recognized her from the moment's glimpse he'd caught of her on the beach. Gamma Eleven turned so he faced his left, toying with his gas mask. Gazing at Eta XII as she referred to herself as 'Pikachu', he tried not to roll his eyes behind the lenses, "Eleven. Gamma Eleven." If she chose to give him a nickname, that was up to her, though he wouldn't respond to it, likely as not, "S-so...would you mind testing out the pendant system. t-to try to understand how it works?"
Yeah. Totally not good at the whole 'DO IT' thing....

Theta Three relaxed as Eta Seven came up to her and introduced herself, it was odd to think she had control over someones actions. She held her hand out and smiled, though the smile wasn't visible under the gas-mask.
"I'm Theta Three." She didn't want to really get to know Eta Seven, especially not if she was supposed to use her as a meat shield. She glanced around at the others a slow plan starting to form in her head.
"Eta Seven, Attack anyone or anything that tries to attack either of us."
She slowly started to look around and then began to move slowly back wanting to have her back to a wall or semi-safe.

Eta VII shook Theta III's hand. Looked like she'd been partnered up with someone fairly reasonable, at least. At the command, she felt her body stiffen and turn to check the room. The order was open enough that she didn't feel any other compulsion for the time being, and she followed Theta III, quickly picking up on the other's plan. Having something to block one side was a good idea. "You know, I'd do that anyway... I mean, it looks like we're in this together. As long as you've got my back, too?" She hoped the other wasn't planning to just use her as a meat-shield. They'd be much more effective working as a team.
