The tapping got a bit louder, a bit faster and was added to a hum.
That was until his tapping became a loud banging under him. He jumped off the pod, looking down at the sleeping but not asleep trainee.
Oh what's that? You want out? Dakota grinned as he waved at the trainee waker from outside the pod. Slowly he input the code to allow the pod to open up and lifted the lid.
"Hey there bro." Dakota eased back, "Steady breaths out. You're gonna feel a little sick and uh...Leg sleeping and s**t. Boddy sleeping. You know that pins and needles feeling. Just take a moment in here." He rested his arm on the opened lid. "Nice to meet you, I'm Dakota Rainstar. Welcome to Deus Ex Machina island."

The tapping got louder, faster and past the hissing ringing of his ears a hum was heard. The tune bringing with it a headache and tightening of tingling muscles. Staring up at the face that now looked back at him eyes narrowed dangerously, scared. Feeling his heart hammering he attempted to catch his breath but the mocking look on the face that peered down at him brought forth a string of muttered curses. Most were along the lines of go ahead and open the door you weird pervert, I'm not going to be another news story, only ...in much less polite words.
Fight or flight had kicked in, begging him to attack the threat to survival as the lid came up. Even if it meant getting pounded back into a pulp from the larger more well-built man.
Hunters, fighting, shadows...words came to mind, flashes of something he struggled to understand pulled his concentration off the other before he snapped back.
What?
An aggravated and on edge look was shot to the prattling off a welcome, then violets attempted to shift around for an escape route. Dakota Rainstar. Deus Ex Machina island... Deadpanning his gaze slid back to the other, fist clenching. If that wasn't a made up name he didn't know what was. Instead of responding with a greeting of his own, teeth clenched then parted for a growl. With the growl and a moment to adjust he was leaning up to take a sluggish swing at the other man. Likely to fall flat on his face or get whacked back into the device and trapped again, but it was all he could muster at the moment.

Oh. Oh a feisty one!
Dakota shifted just a bit as the swing, which was slow as hell came at him. Well at least he knew the kid could move now. He waited for the kid to fall out of the pod before squatting down and keeping the friendly grin on.
"See now, you've been asleep for awhile, so you're body isn't quite used to strenuous activity. The idea of the pod is allow you to remain sleeping until you're mentally ready for the island. Ah, you probably remember taking a test before being podded. If you don't then you remember at least someone in a white coat recruiting you to here? They offered you a chance to fight those shadows you see in the dark." Dakota picked the boy up by the cuff of his shirt. (seeing as the moon hunter was 6'5, he towered over the other) and set him up to stand.
"We're a military organization that eradicates the substance and it's creatures made of FEAR. Fear being of course our..fear. It's like a energy source and creates them. You're afraid of spiders? There's a spider monster made from it in their world." Dakota was cheerfully prattling of course. "Do you know your name kid?"

Whoa s**t!
The guy moved and he was falling fast to his face. Knees tried to react but came up short as his face met with the cold floor. In a groan of pain he inhaled sharply. That hurt, super bad but he did enjoy the fact that he couldn't smell or taste blood. On a turn of head he let out an exaggerated breath and stared up in annoyance as Dakota explained.
Luckily as his knees throbbed with pain he was much more willing to listen.
A test? At the mention violet eyes closed and a shaky breath was released. That did sound familiar and now that he thought about it, everything or at least most the other said seemed to start making some sense. Some. Hands started to move, palms flat on the floor ready to give a weak push when they were promptly and rather annoying removed as he was hauled up. His brows furrowed, anger shining through as hands moved to brush at the pesty ones standing him up.
What was with this guy? Who just picks someone up!
Slowly he started to calm, gaze shifting back between the man and the other pods as more information was given."I'm not afraid of spiders." That was addressed first and firmly before a hand leaned up to catch the top of the pod and steady himself as he took a step back from the looming cheerful giant. Annoying guy, this Dakota. ".....My names...Cain. Cain Roy.." As fear and panic started to fade, a curiosity built. "I remember some stuff...but..what do you mean...their world?" The question came of course because he had seen shadows in this world. Swallowing his head tilted, then a hand moved up to rub over his nose grumpily to soothe the throbbing pain.

Dakota felt no sympathy okay he felt a little bit. Sorry dude but you couldn't just coming out swinging at a experienced hunter.
Also Dakota always picked up you shorties. There was a lot of you on the island now. That was okay. Dakota would reign terror with Tuck and Robert and Jack as the giants of the Island.
"Sure sure. Well you are afraid of something, which is why you're here." Dakota tapped his clipboard, marking off things as he mmhmm'd at Cain.
"Nice to meet ya Cain." Dakota shuffled the clipboard to his side. "I mean the world of Halloween. There is different lands. There's the land of Christmas where they run off energy of Joy or Thanksgiving land or whatever. Halloween is our main concern as they are the most dangerous."
He blinked, "Do you remember being haunted by shadows only you could see in the dark?"

Even if he was scared of something he wasn't about to tell this guy. Seeing the clipboard and getting mm's of a therapist he bristled and reached for the clipboard without warning. "What are you writing? Let me see!" He demanded the last part, because if it was important or about him he wanted to know!
"I'd say the same but I just fell on my face because of you." Cain pouted slightly and placed his hands on his hips, given he didn't get the clipboard as Dakota put it at his side. Of course he didn't expect the guy to just let him hit him but still, it was a sore point.
Halloween was the most dangerous, Cain's head cocked to the side, it sounded right and as much as it sounded like Dakota was talking out of his a** to prank him, his face looked semi-serious. On a heavy sigh he listened to the rest then shook his head, curly locks sweeping past his violet gaze before being shoved back behind his ear.
"That ...I remember. So what now, Dakota?" What was he suppose to do, he began gazing around looking more than a little lost while frowning.Lilac wasn't much for the pods, the room was creepy but today it was her watch as well. With a wrinkle of nose her boots clacked against the floor, the sound paused when she came to a rest. Her hand slid slowly over the top of a pod, the other held her clipboard. Wonder who was in here, or rather how long they had been in there. Lilac sighed, wishing that at least someone would wake up so she wouldn't be all alone.

Something, or rather someone, who was in the pod that Lilac's hand rested on began to wake from her slumber. A soft yawn as the feminine figure shifted to try to curl up on her side while she took her time to slowly wake up the way she usually did when she was back home and in her own bed.
The tight constrains of the pod she was in unfortunately was not built to accommodate such a change in posture. It wasn't long before the still half awake female found herself stuck in a very uncomfortable and awkward position in the pod, causing her to whine and stretch out her hands only to have them make contact with the overhead glass with a resultant thud.

Dakota tsked cheerfully at Cain, moving the clipboard out of the dude's reach, eventually leading it to his side.
"You don't need to really worry about it. It's mostly mental and physical stability after the pods. Kind of like, didn't come out screaming and s**t. Though you did try to hit me." Dakota rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Again. Tried to hit me and all I'm doing is helping!" Dakota reached over and ruffled the kids head. "Good good. That makes it easier. Now if you'll follow me-" Dakota started to walk away. "I'll take you to the cove to meet your partner. After you meet them, we'll send you to processing and get you placed in a division based on your capabilities. There is Sun, which focuses on the field and offense. Kind of like the pawns in war. Then there's moon, which is my division, which focus on field medic, defense and overall base set ups. Sun and moon usually go in hand since we are all on the field so much together. We have Life, which is our more science based division as well as the maintainers of the infirmary/medical here. We have Death which is our intel that gains information. Death and life usually go together as well, as death brings life the information to be process. and lastly is the Mist division which is a fill in, masters off all and none at all. They do pretty much everything."

"I think I do need to worry about it, how do I know you haven't made things up?" A wrinkle of annoyance was created across his forehead as Dakota rubbed his chin and recalled the swing. The last thing he wanted was to be put back into the pod. "That wasn't my fault, I thought you kidnapped me for some underground pervert operation." Cain complained, because it was true and because he did have devilishly handsome boyish looks after all.
It could happen.
"Also you aren't really helping, you just keeping talking nonstop and some of its helpful, not all. " He pointed out with a faint hint of a smirk as the other ruffled his hair, clearly not afraid to sass and again swat at the hand touching him. "Plus you keep touching me, so I'm still not one hundred percent sure you aren't a loony kidnapper." Cain's eye twitched, if the words hadn't gave away he was thinking about another swing that likely did.
Then Dakota took off and he snorted but fell into step behind him. Cove? Partner? "Like a rookie training partner? Because I think I'll be fine without one.." Thank god it wouldn't be this guy if that was the case though, then again what if the partner was worse? Frowning he glanced around curiously, "do you have a partner?" When talks of division started he made note that Dakota was moon and then tried to keep straight what the others were, it was pretty simple when he joined them as he did. Cain smiled slightly liking how one seemed to compliment the other.
Nyxtsuki Moon *D* LET ME KNOW WHEN TO BREAK OFF FOR SOLO BBY- Also thank you <3
The thump caught her attention and she jumped back on a shriek. For a moment as her heart fluttered she just stared helplessly at the pod until she realized, oops need to do something. Moving over quickly her hands were furiously pressing on the buttons to open the pod. As it hissed to signal unlatching she moved in front and cleared her throat, prepared with a smile to greet the new hunter.

"I like to talk." Dakota grinned. "I talk a lot all the time. You'll get used to that." He moved the clipboard again. "Look Kid, I just write down what they want and then get a move on. I got other duties besides baby sitting kids." He laughed.
"I also like touching." that was followed by a loud laugh. "But no homo dude. If you've got a crush or something. I'm a married man. To one be-a-utiful Candace of the mist division. She's the best. Best. best. besttttttt." He stared off a little dreamily.
"I do! She's kind of a pain, but she loves me a lot too." Dakota touched the totem form of Chama, not further elborating on the type of partner Cain would get. Sometimes it was just better for them to see.
"Here you go!" He opened the stairs that led downwards into a cavern. "Take your time in the cove. Once you get your partner, I'll drop you off to get your division and uniform and dorm room and stuff."Cheekiebirdiee BE FREE CAIN. BE FREE!!!!!!! FLY FREE BIRD.

Kid? How obnoxious, his eyes squinted with annoyance as he corrected the other, "Cain, not kid." Like he need some guy with a pornstar name undermining him because he looked young. He was nineteen for the love of god, not a kid clearly.
This guy laughed too much too, but he did grin a little when Dakota said no homo. "I hope she's also deaf, married to you." He shook his head with a roll of eyes as the other glance off dreamily. Cain pinched the bridge of his nose, really needing a drink anything to get him to feel like it was ok not to think because this situation was...
"Oh, no..!...Be still my beating heart....I think I'll live." Deadpanning at the idea of a crush on this guy he raised his hand, palm flat for a please shut up gesture. When not much was given about the partner he surrendered to the others vagueness and went on to where he was motioned. Staring down the steps he hesitated before bucking up and heading on down, "...You'd better not lock me down here..." And he was out of sight in minutes.
[Exit]Nyxtsuki Moon again thank you bby -putters off to weapon solo- lemme know if you wanna play more with Cain <3

Thunk.
Pulling her hands back, she stretched them out again with a little more force and a yawn, only to reflexively bring them back to her chest when they were met with the same resistance once again. She was wide awake now, the sleepiness she was experiencing earlier completely dispelled by the adrenaline in her veins as she looked around herself and tried to figure out where exactly she was since this most definitely wasn't her own room or bed.
A... pod? Did she get abducted by aliens or something?
Nellie gave a squeak when the overhead panel began to slide open to reveal the brightly lit room behind it, for a while remaining where she was in the pod as she rubbed at her eyes that were still unaccustomed to the brightness and willed them to focus on her surroundings and the lone pink figure standing before her. "W-where is Nellie..?" Was she going to be cut open by the pink alien and then studied just like she had seen in those science fiction movies a few years back? Where were her daddy and mummy? They would protect her from bad things like this...
Cheekiebirdiee Please dun cut her up in the name of science pink alien figure ;;

"Welcome to Deus Ex Machina island! " If confetti was on hand it would have been thrown, but as it was there she stood cheerful and smiling as the other girl emerged. Raven locks, pale skin, it was all familiar but that speech sealed the package. "Nellie!!?" In a bounce of pink hair she was on the other girl, attempting to throw the hand not holding her clipboard around the other in a hug.
"I can't believe its you! Here of all places! It's me Lilac!!!" Grinning she watched the other girl, be it around her if the hug worked, or to the side of her if not.

The world was sluggish, blurred and confusing, and then… Air hissed, like a pressure release or an air gun, the air that hit his skin was heavy and clammy like a cave in deep evening. The sounds were strange, the light blinding and it turned the world to an uncertain almost gaussian blur. The room when it swam into focus, emerging from a bright haze of blinding light, colors and shapes slowly but no less confusing to his muddled thoughts. The memories that rose like a dream, but rather too real, a… trial, Hunters… something of fighting, shadows and darkness. Death? Death… Nothing quite fit together correctly, like a puzzle where the pieces had been cast on the floor and half the pictures were missing. He stepped carefully out of the strange cylinder, turning enough to see that there was a…thing there. Information, it had his name, his age, gender. There wasn’t anything else but they knew him…. Should he know this place? “Hello?” He called

Arorangi had never been on pod duty before, but he'd seen his name on the roster list and had cheerfully made his way down to the room. He hadn't been in the pod room since he'd first awoken, and he gave it a curious, interested sort of look, eyes scanning the rows and rows of closed, slightly hissing pods before taking a seat in an empty chair at the little table.
For the first twenty minutes, nothing really happened at all, and Arorangi spent his time drawing little doodles on the notepad he'd brought along with him. They were mostly meaningless, but it kept him occupied, at the very least. At the forty-five minute mark, however, or somewhere around then, he heard the distinct sound of a click, followed by a gush of air that was a clear indication that a pod was opening somewhere in the room.
Arorangi pushed back the dreads from his shoulder, stood up, and ambled down the rows, trying to find the right one. A voice somewhere near the end of the third helped guide him, and Arorangi rounded the corner, a bright smile on his face.
"Kia ora, friend!" he boomed cheerfully, the accent thick and rolling as he strode towards the newcomer. He thrust out a tattooed hand, beaming. "Welcome to Deus, mate, I am Arorangi! Who are you?"
