Amy - Cobras

The bus ride was ridiculously boring. No one spoke, not even the fidgety kid who sat beside Amy. He had eaten something with onions for lunch, Amy had smelled it on his breath.

Needless to say, she was glad when the bus stopped and people started unboarding. Amy slung her backpack over her shoulder and followed onion-boy out.

She pondered the area they were in. Water hit her face in small droplets; it was raining. And the air felt saturated, so it was probably foggy as well. Amy hoped the fog would stick around. Because then she'd have the definite advantage. She adjusted her dark sunglasses and waited for someone to signal where they would go.

"Hey!" a male voice shouted. "Aren't you going to high five me? What are you, blind?"

Amy smirked. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I am blind." She could imagine the kids face. Blanched, mouth wide open. Yeah, he would feel awful.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know," he said.

Amy shrugged. "No big deal. I'm Amy."

"Joe," the guy said.

"So, Joe. What team are you on?" she asked.
Got YWS?

Felecia

Junni seemed nice, and he looked like a decent fighter. He hadn't been thrown off by my eyes or skin. He was a Hawk, though, and for all I knew, he was plotting to take me down. I smiled and said goodbye, then walked off towards the girl Cobra's dorm. I wanted to suit up, my clothes smelled like bus. Hopefully someone would be there who was a veteran- I wanted some advice on the war.I could feel my face getting hot from the sun, and I smeared on some more sunscreen. I couldn't wait to get my mask on so I wouldn't have to smear the stuff on my face again. I hated sunscreen, it was the worst part about being albino. I walked in and put on my suit- I had been given bunk number 8. I had no idea when the war would start, so I strapped my sword to my belt and walked over to where the Cobras were gathering outside, carrying my helmet under my arm.

Krystal - Hawks

She looked around, analyzing the new arrivals. They looked good. Some of them looked like they thought this would be a pleasant experience, but otherwise, it was a good group. With a thought, she frowned. Which ones are Hawks?

The noise level rose as they started to talk with one another. A few walked away for their dorm, a few vets started to talk with the newcomers. I looked around for a girl who would fit the size of the extra uniform I saw on her bed, my roommate. There was quite an array of heights, so after narrowing them down by female and basic build, there were only fourteen possible girls. This could take a while. I walked up to the first one and introduced myself. She was a little younger than I was, I supposed, a Hawk, but was assigned to building B. I excused myself and walked up to another.

“Hey,” I said politely, holding out my hand. “Call me Kim.”

“Eris,” she said with a smile as she shook my hand. Before she could continue I interrupted, “What side are you on?”

“Hawks.”

“Wonderful,” I said. “And can I see your tags?” She took them off and handed them to me. Dorm: Building A, Room 03. Bingo. “Why, I do believe we’re roommates.”



*We should put which dorm building we’re in and room number, or I could assign everyone rooms.*

Katie-Cobras

(Haha Vanadis)

"So you're a cobra too?" I asked Felix looking him over. He seemed to be older than me, but maybe just by a couple of years...actually...he looked pretty attractive.

He nodded. "If I weren't I would be talking to you," he said, smiling.

I laughed. Suddenly my eyes locked with his light brown ones. I looked down quickly, my cheeks reddening. "You look thin," he said.

I turned my attention back to him and could feel my face reddening, but not with blush, with anger. "Are you saying you don't think I'm strong?" I challenged.

"Oh! No no! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it in that way," he said, scratching his messy brown hair.

"Well that's what it sounded like," I replied.

"No, I didn't mean that. I'm really sorry Katie. I meant that you look great."

I could feel blush creeping back into my face, "thanks..." I mumbled.

I heard a whistle and turned, a leader was calling the cobras over for some sort of a meeting. "We better go," I said and Felix and I walked over to where a group was slowly gathering.

Junni ((Snipe:Hawks))
"Hawks, please gather in the mess hall for a meeting." I hoisted my bag up further on my arm and walked to the mess hall. When I walked in, some girl was standing up on the table, two girls and one other guy took up space on one of the benched, I quickly joined them.
" Okay," the girl said," my name is Kyrstal, and I'm here to tell you about some of the basic rules of out little game here. But, first of all, I'd think you'd all be glad to know that war starts tomorrow," there was a small little hoot of happiness before it quickly died down," I though so! Anyway, on to the rules..." and that's where I tuned out.
(( P.S Dreamy, Junni's a guy. OxO ))

Cutter-Hawks,

I feel a little disgruntled, considering no one's actually deigned to talk to me, but it's alright. I'm used to it. I join the group around the veteran, Krystal I think her name was.

"Okay. My name is Krystal, and I'm here to tell you some of the basic rules of our little game here. But, first of all, I'd think you'd all be glad to know that the war starts tomorrow."

Everyone whistles and whoops. I raise my hand.

"Do we get cabin assignments now?"

**Thank you for waiting. Random Name Generators take a long time, oddly enough.**

Krystal - Hawks

“Do we get cabin assignments now?”

“I was getting to that, but I guess I’ll start now. If you have your tags already, your housing numbers should be on the backs of those.” Only about eight people reached for their tags. She waited a few more moments, hoping that the other seventy-one would reach for theirs. When they didn’t, she sighed, picking up the clipboard that sat beside her feet. “This is going to take a while. Okay, we’re starting with role-call.

*Sorry to leave you there for a moment Lauren!*

Joe - Cobras

When Amy said that she was blind, I tried to continue, but I couldn't get that off my mind; Blind. In the dark, sightless, blind. And she was walking into a war? Wow...I don't think I'd do that if I was like her.

The little chat ended as Krystal was telling us all the dorm rooms. When she said my name in the Cobras list, I turned to Amy and said "That answers your question, I guess". I heard the rest of the names, and when I heard Felix's name called, I didn't like that much...I already had an enemy on my own team. I can't say I was looking forward to working with him.

"Are there any other questions before I carry on with the script", Krystal asked us all. This question was followed by an almost bizarre silence. I wanted to head to a bed, it was an exhausting and lazy ride over here. So, I spoke my mind.

"Just finish up so we can get out of here, would ya?", I said over the crowd. Krystal and a few of the other kids gave me a glare. Krystal shook off her glare and sighed in dissapointment. I don't think this made me seem childish, but I may have accidentally succeeded in that.

Katie


"See ya Felix," I called, and headed off to Dorm B. There was a girl slowly following me, I turned to her. "Hey, I'm Katie." I took in her appearance. Her blue eyes were shocking...and I figured from her white hair she was albino. I tried not to take it in all that much and let her know that I was staring.

"I'm Felicia," she said, extending a hand. It was kinda hard to shake it while walking.

"Dorm B?" she asked.

I nodded. "I'm in Room 9."

"Me too!" she said, smiling. "I guess we're roomates!"

I replied, "Yep."

Felicia:

I sighed in relief. For a moment, I had thought I had gotten my room wrong. But no, I was room nine, cabin B. I had made a lucky guess. My bunk had a number eight one it, but I supposed that it must have been left over from when it was somewhere else. I walked back to my cabin, and bumped into my roommate on the way. She had obviously never gotten one of my walking handshakes before, and looked surprised.Her name was Katie,and she seemed nice enough. I was pretty sure we'd get along.

Felix -- Cobras

"Just finish up so we can get out of here, would ya?" I think that came from Joe, the kid I punched earlier. I rolled my eyes and scowled at him. He must think this is elementary school...I couldn't say I was looking forward to being on a team with someone who thought that being rude was funny.

Fortunately, there were no more outbursts from him, and we got through the rest of, well, orientation, I suppose, without further incident. So when we left, I caught up with Katie. "Yo," I said to her, smiling. "Well, I guess you probably want to go rest, so I'll see you around?" She was cute, definitely.

"Yeah. See ya, Felix," she called back to me and headed off. I started toward Dorm A and entered Room 5. A scrawny guy had his bags out on one bed, and was sitting on the other. I tried to remember what my roommate's name was supposed to be.

"Hey, uh...Jacob! That's your name, right? Pick a bed already. I gotta sleep too, you know."

"Fine," he groaned and pulled his bags over to the other side of the room. "Don't have to be a jerk about it."

I didn't mean to be a jerk about it, really, but...well, if it got his bags off my bed, it worked.

I set my stuff on the bunk. I yawned, making Felicia yawn as well. "Boy, I'm beat," I said, laying down on the bottom bunk. I had always preferred having my feet on the ground rather than falling off in the middle of the night.

"Me too," she said. She laid on her bunk and I rolled onto my side. I lay there for a couple of minuets before I realized that I should probably take off my shoes. I took off the converse and put them at the side of my bed. I closed my eyes and soon fell into a dreamless sleep...

Krystal – Hawks

“That worked a lot better last year,” she muttered to herself. Krystal shut the door behind her and leaped onto her bed, pulling out a metal box from under the pillow. Clicking it open she took out a package of Oreos and her secret ingredient. Careful of the sheets, Kimmy… Careful…

“Hey. Kim, right? Or is it Krystal?”

Krystal looked up with wide eyes, waiting a moment to remember the face. “Close friends call me Kim so, since you’re my roomie, either one when no one’s around. And you’re Eris?”

“Right,” Eris replied with a smile. “This is room zero– is that ketchup?“

Krystal looked down at the dripping Oreo, a small feeling of terror going through her as little drops of red, sweet tomato goodness flipped onto the once-white sheets. Popping the Oreo into her mouth, she glared up at Eris. “Anyone asks, I tripped and my nose started bleeding.”

Junni-
I stalked off to my cabin sleepily, crashing into the room harshly and plopping down on the first thing I touched.
"Ouch! Dude, get offa me." I jumped up, startled and backed away. The other guy got up and rubbed his head.
" Oh," I mumbled," sorry, didn't see ya there," I chuckled and ran my fingers through my hair." So much for a good first impression, the name's Junni." The guy gave me a once over and raised the side of his mouth in a quick smile.
" Cutter," I opened my mouth to comment but he just scowled," I didn't choose my name, okay?" I shrugged and went to the bed on the other side of the room.
" Whatever you say. Sorry, again, and goodnight."
