"Oooo, field operative, please!!!" Saylor said excitedly.
-
@Miranda H, the problem is Gale would be *happy* to do either…
but if everyone else wants to be a field operative that's fine. I'll just go with the flow 😉
-
"Well, I know everyone else wants to be a field operative…" Mae says. "So I would go with research operative, but I'm not too good at anything that has to do with research, so… Field operative, please."
I hope it's okay to be the, like, tenth field operative.

Oops. Sorry I'm late!

"I-I'll just go with whatever…" I say, nervously fidgeting with my fingers and keeping my head down.

Guys, I'm sorry if I made you feel like you couldn't be what you wanted. The important thing is that you all have fun, but if you wouldn't mind being either, Just choose one or the other. I promise that whaterver you decied, you'll have plenty to do.

Orchid
"T-The research would b-b-be fun.." I say again, trying not to draw attention, but how can I? I'm wearing all black, and I have black hair with white tips. Of course I stand out.
Just keep your head down, they won't notice how disusting you are, Orchid.
You really are hopeless, aren't you?
A hot tear fell on my hand, and I wiped my face, mascara all messed up, I looked worse. I ddin't have to look in the mirror. No one had seen my face yet. Since I always kept it down.
My shoulders shook, and soon enough…
I was crying.
"I'm worthless…" I stood up and walked over to my room, and opened the door.
"Orchid?' It was Lan's voice. He knocked.
"Go away, please," I said pressing my hands on the door harder. "JUST GO AWAY!"
I heard footsteps trailing off.
Slumping on the floor, I just laid there. And cried. I fell asleep on the floor, my hair covering my face. I didn't want to be seen.
My mother was right.
I was ugly.

I run after Orchid, as I walk up I see Lan walking away.
"She wants to be left alone." he said.
Oh. I thought, I hope she's okay.
I hope I did that right, I've never really done something like this before.

Don't worry, this is my first rp and I'm no expert.

"I'm more of a excitement kind of girl, so I'll choose Feild operitive please." Emekittycon k said.
-
I dont care, they both sound cool, although im more of a action girl, but reasearch would be fun too.
-
Do you want me to put you as feild operative?
This is so much fun for me. I never thought that my first RP would work so well. Thanks for participating. And please get your descisions in before Sunday.

@Miranda I think you said it was fine to make two posts, so… (if you'd rather just have one post per person, you can just ignore this post!)
Ash~
People start calling out their decisions, while Miranda nods and makes notes. Through the chaotic, excited mass of people, I notice a girl walking quickly away, crying quietly. Orchid, I think her name is. Wanting to make her feel better, I jog after her, following her down the hall to her room. As I near her door, I notice Lan walking away from it, shaking his head.
"She wants to be left alone," he says to another girl behind me, who I guess also wanted to help Orchid.
I get that, sure. I mean, when I'm angry, I get kinda violent, so I've learned to keep my distance from people when I feel mad. But… I feel like there's something else going on with Orchid besides anger. I don't know how I know that. I've not been known to be good at dealing with other people's emotions. But somehow… I don't know, I just have a feeling about this.
I walk up to Orchid's door and knock. "Are you okay?" I ask quietly.

Marilee~
"Ooh, I'll be a Research Operative, please." It doesn't sound quite as awesome as being a Field operative, but hey, still cool. Plus, most everyone else went with field.
One of the girls next to me asked about gymnastics, but when I'm responding to her, I notice another girl (Orchid, I believe) getting upset. She runs to her room. Ash and another girl come after her, and I excuse myself and go join them. When I get there, Ash is knocking at her door. "Are you okay?" she asks gently.
"Go away," Orchid sobs, "please."
"Orchid, we don't want you to be upset all alone," I say quietly. "You don't have to tell us what happened. We just want to make sure you're alright."

~Gale (going with 1st POV since that seems like what everyone else is doing? Geez, I'm new xD)
I look around. Everyone seems to be leaving – to check on Orchid, or go to their rooms – but I don't know where to go.
They're all…cool. They can do stuff.
Unsure, I walk down the hall to the rooms. A few people cluster around Orchid's door. I wonder…no.
Society, community, other people…no. No way.
Instead, I go into my room. The window's open and a breeze, light and gentle, blows in. I open my bags and pull out my instruments. Three of them, as much as could I could fit: a flute, a ukelele, and a violin.
My fingers hesitate over each, and then I lift the ukelele out of its case and tune it, then begin to play. The feel of the strings and the umber-brown koa wood is comfortingly familiar.
Halfway through I realize I haven't shut the door, and that my playing is probably audible from the hallway. Slightly embarrassed, I get up and go to close it.
~
PS, I didn't write exactly how many instruments Gale plays in her char sheet, but I decided I wanted her to be really widespread in music. If no one minds.

Orchid~
"I know I'm worthless…" I say through sobs, curling up into a ball.
"What?'' Ash's voice travels under the door, ringing out clearly against the yellow cat wallpaper.
"You don't know me, and you don't need to force yourself to, Ash." I say sitting up and wiping my tears.
The door flew open, and all of the kids were standing there, worried expressions. Except for Lan. He walked in the room, and helped me up.
"You're not worthless. You're probably pretty cool." He says, smiling widely and giving me a big hug. All the others walked over and hugged us.
"GROUP HUG!" Emekittykon K shouts.
We all laugh, and for the first time, in 5 years, I smiled.
After the big hug, they all look at me.
My face is still kept down, but I slowly turn it up.
"WOAAAAAH." Saylor says, eyes sparkling.
"Your eyes…" Ash gapes, "They're beautiful."

Oh my goodness! This is going so well! I love everyone's writing style!
-
Yeah. It's really nice too how everyone is supporting Orcid. Oh, and I need your replies on what you're going to be today or you will be a feild agent automatically.
-
Gale, Orcid, Alex, I need you to reply soon or I'll have to choose for you. Thanks.
-
OK, so I'm going to post today, so I really need your decisions or I'll have to decied for you, which probably means I'll put Gale and Orcid as research, and Alex as feild.
-
Ok, so, I might have put some conflicting posts, but I looked back, and you had all given me an idea of what your character will do, so Gale and Orcid will do research and Alex will do feild, if that's ok.
The next morning, the kids were woken at 7:30 by a loud 'gong!' sound. "What is that?" Alex said, stumbling out of bed and rubbing her eyes.
"I don't know," Marilee replied. She led the way out of the butterfly room, which had real butterflies. They went down the marble stairs and went to the dining room. Emekitty and Orcid were already inside, talking about their favorite books. "I'm glad to see that Orcid is warming up," Marilee remarked as they found seats at the other end of the table.
Later, when everyone had had their fill of eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and orange juice, Miranda showed them a special walle courtyard. There was a lot of what looked like training equipment. There were also 9 bikes lined up near the right hand wall. "What are those," Saylor asked, gesturing toward the bikes.
"Those are X bikes. You will each get one. We can talk about them later. right now, let us turn our attention to the first part of the training course. Yesterday, we did some wall climbing. That had it's purpose. you will have to scale this wall," here, she paused, nodding her head in the direction of a 20 foot tall concrete wall with nothing as much as a loose brick to get a footing on.
"what!" interjected Mae, with an astonished look on her face. "How can we do that?"
"Do not fear, we will give you the proper equipment, but in the feild, you may very likely encounter a problem like this." Miranda and another women, much taller and with a square face, passed out harnessess. When everyone was suited up, she inroduced the VERY tall women as the famous mountain climber Alicia Hollister. "She's my hero," Mae wispered. "I can't believe I didn't recognize her!"
Mae, of course, was the first to finish the wall. Everyone else was a little more cautious and took longer, but soon all of them were back on terra firma (latin for solid ground, I think), and all of them were looking at the X bikes. But Miranda had other plans. "let us move on to the ropes," she said, ignoring the dissapointed looks on all their faces.
They climbed a set of high stairs and went up to a ledge. It was very high. There were 9 ropes. "Alright," Mranda said. "You will each be assigned a rope. You will then try to swing across. Do not be afraid of falling. There is a foam pit under you that is 10 feet deep." The kids all got on to their ropes.They pushed off. Not a single one fell. Orcid was the first to make it.
"Nice job, Orcid!" Ashley exclaimed as she reached the other side. They high-fived. Once again, when the task had been completed, eyes returned to X bikes. Everyone was pumped when Miranda announced that they would be moving on to the X bikes.
"These X bikes are very special. For instance," she pushed a button and the bike came to life, lifting off the ground. She hopped on, pressed another button, and rose higher. Then she flew around for a minute. "they fly. You can also use them as a regular bike, or even peddle while flying, which I wanted to do when I was young."
Now, everyone wore astonished looks an thier faces. Miranda started assigning bikes to people. Mae got a deep purple one. Gale's was black with a blue streak. Emekitty's was light pink with a purple streak and a cat face on the front of the bike, which made them look more like motorcycles. Orcid's was white, while Lan's was deep green and Ashley's was red and black. Marilee's was a yellow one, and Alex's was light orange. Saylor's was dark green with white in a few places. after everyone had tried out the X bikes and discovered some other features such as grappling hooks and auto pilot, they went in for lunch.

Still checking this periodically, JSYK.

I hadn't known that they'd just except me like that. It was a great feeling. I had to try to socialize. Even if my mind and soul wanted to hide in the back corner, I pushed on.
The X Bikes we had gotten were pretty cool, but my favorite thing was going to be the reasearch.
I had always gotten good grades on presentations, book reports, stuff like that. So this would be perfect.

Sorry this is so short my cereal is getting soggy.
