We will start as soon as we can, sorry, School has been nuts! I'll make a DT tomorrow, and I'm not sure about Bee. I'll ask her. Sorry this is taking so long, I picked a really bad time to do this!!

Okay guys, I have created a DT for this topic, so please post on it to affirm that you have found it. Thanks!

Gender (There will be five girls and five boys on the Yellow team) : GIRL
Appearance: She's a mixture of Indian (like from India) and Japanese, hence her strange name. She has the dark hair and face of the Japanese but the dark skin of the her indian side. She's short and curvy, and plays those curves up all the time.Spoiler
Personailty (Though they don't remeber who they are, everybody still has one) : She's an all out girly girl. If she breaks a nail or gets a scar, it's the end of the world. But don't leave bruises and she couldn't care less. She's tough, but doesn't act it, and is extremely protective of people she cares about.
Weapon preferences, and fighting strengths (These are things your character will remember) :She prefers not to fight at all if she can get out of it, and fights with a set of fans. These fans actually have hidden poisoned blades so watch out! She fights gracefully- if it isn't beautiful it isn't worth doing.
Relationship? Y/N :yup!
((Hope this is Ok Razzle my Dazzle!))

(All the team members have arrived. May the Los Angeles Trials begin!)
Clove
I stare a the huge screen for a few moments after it goes blank. I can't believe what It just showed us, what it told us. This is insane.... I think to myself, shaking my head. I glance around at my companions, my team mates. We are the Yellow team. Seeing their diversity, I pray that we can actually function as a team. There are five boys and four other girls. I notice the ones that have danger in their stances, and separate them from the ones that look non-threatening. There is a smaller blond boy that looks like he'll be easy to befriend. A couple girls too. There's one boy standing near the wall of weapons that nearly takes my breath away, but I can't pinpoint why. He has dark hair and hard eyes that sparkle with a malicious light. I do a double take when I see twin boys.
Nobody has really spoken yet, so I step forward with a happy grin to introduce myself. "Well I guess we need to work together now huh? Go Team Yellow! My name is Clove, it's nice to meet all of you! What are your names?"

I blink at the now dark screen my mind whirring with what was going on-What was going on? I look around to the nine others in the room and I see I'm one of the oldest, one boy looks maybe twelve? I look back to the huge wall of weapons and stare in something like awestruck confusion
how did we know how to use these? how did I know how to use these? The hell was going on?! Was this like some screwed version of the hunger games gone wrong?(not that I'd ever read it mind you!)
I pinched myself hard to see if it was a bad dream- Nope, it's real.
I muttered swears to myself and looked back at the group of us milling about. One girl with long hair steps forward and smiled broadly, hands on her hips in a business like way-what's she so happy about?
"Well I guess we need to work together now huh? Go Team Yellow! My name is Clove, it's nice to meet all of you! What are your names?"
"Go team Yellow?" was she serious!? What was she on?
I step towards her and grin.
"Well aren't we Little Miss Sunshine?" I drawled at her- I drawled? was I southern all of a sudden?
She looked suddenly crestfallen, I rolled my eyes.
"Oh Don't be so sensitive Doll-face." I look at everyone else. "I'm Rafe Gable, I'm a gunslinger-I think..."
.... (hope this was alright Razzle- I'll edit if not)

"D*** the torpedoes! Four bells! Full speed ahead!"~ Admiral David Farragut
I looked at the screen and tilted my head. The woman's mouth was moving, but all I could see was a shiny thing behind her. I smiled and looked down. There was a yellow metal band on my arm. I immediately frowned. Boy, it was heavy. I noticed a girl with long hair step up.
"Well I guess we need to work together now huh? Go Team Yellow! My name is Clove, it's nice to meet all of you! What are your names?" she asked. I opened my mouth to answer, but someone beat me. I frowned and closed my mouth.
"Well, aren't you Miss Little Sunshine?" he taunted. That was very mean. "Oh don't be so sensitive doll- face. I'm Rafe Gable, I'm a gunslinger- I think."
I tilted my head. Gunslinger? He cheers for singers? That's nice! I bit my lip, thinking of what to say. Oh yes! Introduce myself!
"Um. Hello everyone!" I piped. "I'm Alicia... Alicia..." I trailed. How could I have forgotten my last name! "Oliver!" I suddenly remember.
"I'm a... cheerleader! Like you!" I cried, pointing towards the girl with long hair.
"Ah, I'm not a cheerleader," she answered. I frowned. Then what am I? I pinched my hair and noticed how blonde it was. Gasp! I'm blonde!
(Hope this is okay! I'm so sorry Alicia is so dumb! That's the way she is. )
The screen grows black and the room becomes silent. I stare at it for a moment, thoughts running through my head. Before long I feel a devilish smile spread across my face. I look over to Quin out of the corner of my eye. His face is more calculating then mine, probably plotting already. I elbow him.
"Well I guess we need to work together now huh? Go Team Yellow! My name is Clove, it's nice to meet all of you! What are your names?"
A small excited girl chirps up. Quin looks over to me, ignoring the girl.
"Huh, huh?" I mutter quietly, trying to ask what he thinks. Quin smiles the same wicked grin I know is still on my face.
"Well aren't we Little Miss Sunshine?" Another man asks the girl. He mutters something else that sounds offensive and then introduces himself as Rafe.
"What do you think?" Quin mouths, trying to stay quiet for the other people talking.
"I think we could win," I mouth back.
Another girl chirps into the conversation and intoduces herself as Alicia. I tune her out after I hear her name.
Quin's smile grows larger and he nods. A deep chuckle errupts from my throat.
"Yeah, boy!" We shout at the same time, interupting the man. I bring my hand up and give Quin a high-five, pushing my arm past his and hitting it again below. Our voices echo off the arena.
Quin looks over my shoulder and nudges his head towards the rest of the group. I pause and look over to them. They look back at us with both humor and amusement. I look to one girl -possibly a blonde, although she could also have light brown hair- who looks like she just screamed. She's holding her hair in one hand and glaring at us.
"What?" I ask, still smiling. It takes me a minute before I realized that the blonde actually did just scream. And, to think about it, she must have screamed not two seconds before Quin and I had shouted. "Oh..."
The room remains quiet for a few minutes. Quin shoulders me aside.
"Hey, I'm Quin," he introduces himself.
I step around my brother. "And I'm Ike," I say with a half smile.
(Hope this is okay! )

I blinked after the video finished, and stood quietly contemplating the information I had received. I caught my self organizing each thought into a complex time-table: why? I shook my head, and started to notice the congregation of short people gathering around a girl who had introduced herself as Clove. Next to her stood a girl named Alicia, who seemed... intellectually incompetent. Ugh! Again with the big words. STUPID. She's stupid. Why did I have to think like that? Other than the two girls, a man built like a brick warehouse stood near them. His vocabulary was malign, and his mannerisms depicted him as a... I cut my self off, and let out a groan. It was loud enough to attract the attention of a pair of twins introducing themselves to a girl. For a moment they looked at me funny, and then in awe once my height was noticed. I traversed the good four feet between us in a single step and extended my hand towards them
"Hey, I'm James, or you can call me Seraph: I don't mind"
With friends and courage one can stand against all foes, for neither man nor God can conquer those who are not alone
"109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit"

I looked up at the boy. His name was James and Seraph? That's nice! He has two names! I noticed how tall he was was and gasped.
"Are you a giant?" I whispered. James raised an eyebrow.
"That's offensive on so many levels," he answered. I tilted my head. What? What did he just say?
"No," James said slowly. I opened my mouth than closed it. I wanted to meet a giant. No! Nevermind! I want to meet a leprechaun now! Then, I could have a pot of shiny gold! I looked around, to see where we were, then suddenly stopped when I saw something glinting.
I immediately gasped and made my way towards the thing. I held it up, followed by an arm. I suddenly realize I was holding someone's hand and examining their band. I looked up and gasped.
"Are you two clones?" I asked. This was a serious matter! Clones might take over the world soon!
(Hope this is okay! Alicia jumps to conclusions a lot, and it may hurt others. )
I stared at the screen before me, feeling horror well up inside. Fight? We had to fight our way through? I couldn't fight. Fighting was gross, it was dirty, it was... Vicious. Nothing about it was good, nothing about it ever benefitted people in a good way. It made them hard, cruel. I wasn't hard. I wasn't cruel. I couldn't be.
I heard the others talking, but didn't listen to them, instead looking at the weapons wall. They were really serious. They wanted us to fight. What was this? I searched my memory, looking for something that would tip me off to what was going on, why this was happening. I had... nothing. I barely even knew my own name. This couldn't be normal. THere was no way whatever was going on was actually happening. I pinched myself and felt the pain. It wasn't bad. I pinched myself again, this time harder and in a more sensitive spot. It stung sharply and I shook my head. This was actually happening. It wasn't a dream at all, which meant that we were actually supposed to... Fight. I gulped a little bit as the pictures of all those monsters flashed in my head. Those things were going to attack us. They were going to kill us all. Oh my goodness.
I turned to the others and realized that they were introducing themselves. Were they serious? THey were just going to accept the fact that they were going to weaponize themselves and go out and hurt things. What were they thinking? What about PTSD? Didn't they worry about being emotionally scarred for the rest of their lives? How could they deal with that sort of thing on their consciense? I looked over their faces, and none of them seemed really fazed. Clove, as she introduced herself, looked a little excited. Alicia looked... Spaced out to be honest. THe man who called himself Rafe had a guarded expression that was hard to see through. But any gunslinger was a monster inside anyway. And the others... Were harder to read. I'm probably just bad at reading people, I decided. I don't know them so I can't judge them. I'm sure they're quite a bit nicer than I'm assuming.
"Are you two clones?" Alicia asked a set of twins.
"Clones are identical. They would be exactly alike Alicia, those two are just similar. THey're probably twins," I blurted before I could stop myself, and then felt my face flush. I didn't even know where that came from! "S-sorry. Shutting up." I stuttered.
((As always lemme know if I need to change anything!))
"Clones are identical. They would be exactly alike Alicia, those two are just similar. They're probably twins", a girl explained. Her face suddenly went red. "S-sorry. Shutting up." she said nervously.
Twins? I looked back towards the boys. Oh! Twins! Phew! No clones taking over the world. I smiled at one of the boys and turned towards the screen. Wasn't this a race? And... Last team to the finish line dies?!
"We're in a race, right?" I asked.
"Yes," Clove answered. I bit my lip and tilted my head.
"Shouldn't we get going if we don't want to die? Unless some of you want to die! I can totally slow down for you!" I offered.
"I don't think anyone wants to die," one of the twins answered. I opened my mouth, then closed it. I started skipping away from the group.
"Where are you going?!" I heard that Rafe boy call out.
"I saw something shiny!" I answered.
(Hope this is fine that I gave the group a little push. )
I watch people talk, including one seriously brain-dead girl that concerns me--and then wonder if perhaps I'm more brain dead. I haven't moved, said a word, nothing since the video went off. Maybe the whole in shock thing wasn't new.
I swallow and then look down at myself; yellow armband, fingernails sharp and painted red. My hands itch to do something. I move slowly, avoiding everyone, and head towards the knives.
My fingers flick past a roofing knife (Jack the Ripper) and settle on a scaled-down version of a scythe. I pick it up and test it out, only for the previously mentioned brain-dead girl to skip right into where my next small, practiced swing would have been. She narrowly avoids getting cut, or running into me.
I shrink back, feel the metal and wood of knives at my back, and stare, unable to help myself.
What was even going on? My mind whirls.
Get weapons, get food, lots of water, something to sleep on--start moving. No, no; get them to move, too. Can you win if one of your teammates don't hurry, if they die?
I look around at everybody. We're divided, and that wont work in this contest. Nobody looks like they are big on teamwork. One girl with dark skin looks like she's going to pass out or puke, or both. The big guy Rafe is still grinning, but there is something forced about it. I'm interested in the evil smiles the twins Ike and Quin are sharing, but before I can investigate I see the small blond boy standing near a wall. I walk over to him and hold out my hand.
"Hi there! I'm Clove, what's your name?" He looks at me, shocked for a moment, then grips my hand. He's stronger than he looks, and I find myself analyzing him and his movements. Wierd...
"I'm Tino." He says shyly. I smile and start to ask him about himself, but the Rafe pipes up.
"Yea, Artie is right. Isn't this a race? Shouldn't we get moving?" He says, clearly referring to something I missed. I turn to him and shrug.
"Why don't you point the way out Mr. Smart Guy?" One of the twins says sarcastically. It think it's Ike... or Quin.... Crap, that is going to get annoying fast. Rafe makes a threatening motion and both twins put up their fists as one. Rafe starts up to them and I quickly move between the three.
"Boys, boys, let's calm down. We're supposed to be a team, let's work together!" Rafe says something about teamwork, and uses an adjective that rhymes with "duck". I glare, draw back my fist, and hit him as hard as I can right in the jaw. He flails and lands on his backside. The huge room goes silent. I straighten and rub my wrist. That guy has a hard head. I think. "Listen up! If you guys think we should get moving, then let's go! Everybody find a backpack you're comfortable with carrying, and fill it with the supplies you think you'll need. Remember what the computer told us while you're deciding. Make sure you get plenty of food, we don't know when we'll find any again. Finally, pick your weapons." I say, gesturing to the deadly wall. "We'll meet back here in ten minutes and finish introductions. Then we'll figure out where to go from there. Got that?" I ask, trying to sound commanding and authoritative. There are grumbles from everybody, and I head towards the backpacks without another word, praying Rafe doesn't get up and pick a fight.
