Fifty Seven years ago, the Earth was declared too toxic for human survival. Many people were sent to Mars, because as it happens, there IS water up there. However this focuses on those left here, on Earth.

Fifty Seven years ago, the government started Hibernation. Not the bears-sleeping-in-winter hibernation, but with similar concepts. The government started building massive domes over entire towns. All of then were built in the cleanest areas they could find. In total, there are thirty two. All over the world. Basically, Hibernation was where those who wanted to stay on Earth, or could not afford space travel, lived in these domed communities. Our story takes place in one such community.

Phenwick Square is one of the smallest of these communities, with only forty permanent residents. Phenwick Square has twenty seven identical houses, where children ages 12-17 live, with their own personal nurse, all of which, are female. Phenwick square also has one mall with twelve stores, a church, a library, a small school where children live from birth to the age of 12, the school also has a small playground. The town also has a post office, and in the middle of the town, is The Office. The Office is where the adults (18+) live and work, if they do not work at one of the places mentioned above. The adults never come out, and because of this, the children of Phenwick Square have never met or seen their parents.

Gaia User: MusicIsLyfe104
Name: Riley Travers
Age: 16
Gender:Male
Apperance:User Image
Personality: Riley is quiet and shy. He doesn't like burdening people. He's easy to get along with, but at first he seems shy and distant.

Gaia User: Tesunie
Character Name: Tes
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Apperance:User Image
Personality: A curious kid that wants to know everything! Always trying to find answers to things or wanting to improve something already that works fine as it is. Kinda shy and not really out spoken, he tends to get rather loud and talkative when nervous or excited.
Nurse
Name: Clarence
Nickname: Crazy Clarence, Clare-San or Miss Clare.
Appearence:User Image
Personality: Overly eager and outgoing. She will do anything to guarantee Tesunie's safety and health. A little overbearing and demanding, she can be exceedingly pushy and demanding. Often doesn't care for Tesunie's privacy and will burst in when least expected or least wanted. She has actually been known to interrupt Tesunie's showers or other private actions to insure he is safe. Of course, when Tesunie's objects, she just states that there isn't anything she hasn't seen before.
She often refers to Tesunie as Tes-Chan, and thinks of him as the cutest boy around. One of her reasons for bringing him home is so he wont ruin that cute face of his, and she jumps him if he gets even the slightest scratch (hence why she probably barges into anyplace she wants to, to see if he might be hiding any injuries on her).
Needless to say, Tesunie is extremely embarrassed by her, especially when she does barge in on his private life.

Gaia User: Angel Zetsumei

In all actuality, she was very random and outgoing. She loved to try new things, even if she knew she would fail at them. One of her many differences from the rest of the population is that she was wiccan, and she was able to hear, feel and sometimes even see spirits (this is part of the reason why she's an outcast b/c people don't believe her.) One of her favorite ways to talk to the spirits was through tarot cards.

His work has increased in pace ever since his 17th birthday, as he is afraid of the apparent imprisonment that the adult have been put in.

Riley sighed as he walked along the now silent streets of Phenwick Square. He tugged his jacket tighter around his shoulders. A little while ago the streets had been filled with children running and screaming and laughing, being chased after by their Nurses before they were all herded back into the school. He was glad he didn't have to stay there anymore, it was noisy and smelled like diapers. He shuddered at the memory. It was dark now, and the emergency lights on the buildings were just coming on. He stopped at the edge of Phenwick, and placed his hand on the hard, cool material that held him trapped in this place. An emergency light flickered on behind him the and white stuff that they called flakes that was falling to the ground outside was thrown into greater relife. It made him sad to think that he would never touch it, as he was trapped, never to leave, never to go outside, although he knew that the flakes would hurt him if it touched him. It was dangerous out there. Everything out there was toxic.

((oh by the way, when referring to your nurses, the children have always been taought to refer to people who are older than them by either Miss. or Mr. unless they were told otherwise by that person. Most of the time nurses are referred to as Miss. (nurses name here), but its not nessicary to call them that.))

Tabi was leaning against one of the lightpoles at the end of her street, one hand buried in her pocket, the other holding a cig as she took another drag off it. Out of habbit, she looked up to the top of the dome. She remembered reading books about how the night sky used to look as a child, always gazing at the stars wishing that she could see them just once, but she knew that the stars only showed up on the outside world, their light unable to shine through the roof of the dome. As a child, she would sit on the steps outside her house waiting for the stars to come out, though they never did. She soon grew tired of staring into the blank darkness and set off down the road tawords one of the many windows that let people see into the world outside. With her fingers crossed, she hoped that the stars would be visible through the flakes tonight. It was a wish that had yet to be granted.

Tesunie couldn't sleep despite the late hour (as it seems to be night from what I can tell... correct me if I am wrong and I'll change the post). After getting changed as quietly as he could, he crept over to the window. As he cracked the window open, unlatching the lock from it, his nurse called out.

"Tes-chan! Are you asleep in there?" The door opened into his room, and the light from the hallway illuminated his bedroom. His nurse had no consideration of anything called privacy, and tended to barge in when least expected or wanted. The light from the hallway showed the scene clearly, in stark lighting and shadow contrast. The scene you ask? Why Tes sneaking out the window, near frantic after the nurse came in.

"Go away! Your crazy!" Tes shouted, trying to wiggle out of the window faster.

"Come now, Tes-chan. You should be asleep. You'll catch cold out there." She reached towards the window, moments too late. Tesunie's foot had just slipped out of reach and all she grabbed were a few balls of dust and a couple models of star-ships.

After his great escape, Tes ran from his house, to any other place he could, namely the park area. There were viewing windows near there that he would occasionally stare out as he considered something.

Riley shoved his hand in his pocket when the cold window had frozen the palm of his hand. He finally gave up on trying to belive he was out in the cold and took off his jacket. That was for the warmer months, and they had the teperature down in the dome. He threw his coat to the ground and went to the see-saw. He hadn't been to the park for a while. He lay down in the middle of the childs toy with his arms folded under his head, staring into the dark abyss that was his home.

A soft knock came from the door. "Come in" the man whispered. He sat in darkness at a desk set in teh middle of a wood panneld room, staring out of a window. He was watching a girl smoke. He also had just seen a boy jump out his window, well heard h is nurse calling after him acctually, and he had seen another boy walk towards the park.
"Andrew, the youth are growing restless...." He murmered to the man in his doorway.
"Sir, the temperature has dropped." the man cut in
"Has it now, Andrew? That can't be good."
"Ah, no sir, it isnt." Andrew said
"Mmm......Andrew, i fear that our dome is dying. Can you feel it?"
"Yes sir, I can."
PostPosted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 9:44 am


Tesunie walked to the park, regretting not grabbing his jacket on his way out. It was unusually cold for this season in the simulated dome environment. "I wonder why the temperature is dropping? Well, might be trying to simulate unpredictable weather now. Interesting idea."

He stopped at the edge of the park, trying to thing out what was keeping him awake in his bedroom a few moment's ago, when he noticed another boy sitting on the see-saw. It was a simple toy made for balance and counter balance concepts. If thought out, it taught the young about leverage and balance. Only if the two sides were close in weight would the toy work. A lesson Tesunie had long mastered.

The flakes showing through the glass windows of the dome where as captivating as always, a sight that never stops bewildering the young teen. They where told that it was toxic outside and that the flakes falling from the sky would hurt them had they touched them. The questions that always come to Tesunie came once more, 'Why was it dangerous outside? What was being done to fix it?' Then other questions that plagued Tesunie came up again, 'Where were all the adults?' Sure there were the nurses and teachers where they could see them, but where were all the other adults? They were told as children that the adults worked in the main building, and lived there. Something didn't seem right about that to him either.

Tesunie stood there, looking out the window. He wanted to talk to the other person, but didn't have the courage to approach the boy. Then, he became too caught up in his own thoughts that he had forgotten the boy completely. All that occupied his sight were the world outside the glass.

"mmm....hello," Riley called to the boy, still staring up at the darkness. "It is pretty isnt it?" It was not hard to guess what the child was doing there. Riley sat up. "You know, if we lived out there, I'd be able to drive." he explaind egarly. "They used to drive around in these matal contraptions because there communities weren't as smaal as ours. They were big. Acctually, they were able to go to more than their own community. I'd like to be able to do that but. you know, I obviously can't...and......" He noticed that he had been rambling. "Um, yeah.......Flakes...." he murmered and lay down again. "Hey, can you hand me my jacket?"
PostPosted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 9:59 am


Tes gave with a start, jumping a little as his train of though was interrupted. "Ah, sure." He grabbed the jacket on the ground and tossed it to the other boy. "I wouldn't mind traveling in space. To go to other worlds. Than again, just to travel on this world would be interesting as well."
He continued to think about a few more questions. "What do you suppose the adults are doing to clean this world up? I wonder..." Tesunie had the thought trail off as he had no answer himself, and the flakes where captivating.

Riley shved his arms through his jacket as he got up and walked up to the boys side. "Sorry to interrupt your train of thought again, but I don't think the adults are doing anything. I think that they're just trying to protect those of us who are here, because they think that the Earth is too far gone to bring back, if that makes sense." He shrugged "But then again, I could be wrong. I'm Riley" he added.

Hope sighed, gripping the tree branch she sat on. The park was boring, but she spotted two figures near the see-saw. She tried to listen to their converstaion, but she wasn't lucky. She started to climb down, before she jumped and landed. She walked over to them, seeing their faces. She had seen them around before. "Hello." She said with a fake smile.

"I'm Tesunie. Nice to meet you Riley." Tes just shot the boy with a kind smile. "Your not interrupting me. I couldn't sleep tonight so I decided to come here to think."
He paused for a moment, "If they thought the planet too far gone, why did they build the domes? Why not move everyone to the space colonies? It would have made a lot more sense." Too many question, and not enough information, once again. All only theories.
PostPosted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:16 am


Riley smiled softly "Because our relatives either a) couldn't afford it or 2, didn't want to." He turned to Hope. "Hello, Hope." he grinned. They had been in the same class when they lived in the school.

"He..hello." Tesunie sheepishly responded to the girl. Something seemed odd to him about her, like she wasn't that happy to see them. She had that fake camera smile to her. At that, Tesunie stopped talking, but instead just decided to look at the two standing in front of him.

Was it just him, or was it really unusually cold in the dome tonight? He probably should be heading back home, before his nurse decided to go on a man hunt for him. As it was, when he got back he would probably have a thermometer stuffed into his mouth and a mug of warm milk shoved into his hands.
