[Uke]

This is a private RP between Mint and Uke (who really need to stick with one RP for more then a few weeks xD).

Please don't post in here!

This RP may contain mature situations.

[Uke]

Most of the other kids thought he was weird... and why wouldn't they? A good percentage of them had dark hair, no matter what their birth hair color had been... and those that didn't still supported the blonde hair that they had been born with, though even those ones were few and far between.

Yet here he had always been with his flaming red locks, a single redhead amongst almost a thousand blondes and black-haired kids.

His companions were rare cases as well, in their own rights. The boy on his left with a bandage that was taped in place over his left eye, though it wasn't to protect it - and the girl on his right, who was a rarity only because of her gender.

Not many people sold their daughters to The Facility.

Lunch was a daily necessity that no one wanted to go through... then again, almost all of the day's actions were things that no one wanted to do. There were few things that the children of The Facility enjoyed. But lunches were on the bottom of the list... having about 500 of the more 'seasoned' members in one room was never comfortable, especially on days when a group of newer children were introduced into the batch of older children.

The three of them sat to the side, trying to ignore the stares of the newer kids as they pushed their mush around on their trays.

[Mint]

"Today's special...runny egg whites and tasteless oatmeal." The redhead sighed as he pushed his food around more. "It's like eating mashed wood."

He looked around- even though it was uncommon for the older kids to care enough to look up from their trays. The security looked a bit tighter today. Armed guards were at ever door and there was a patrol above them on the catwalk overhead. The mirrored windows set in the walls were only coverings for the scientists watching them and taking notes, as if the camera's on the floating military pod-bots hovering around weren't enough to observe them.

[Uke]

"I don't know why they bother," The girl admitted - as if she could tell what he was looking at, even though she was staring at her plate - "If we all tried we could easily over power them... but I guess they know we wont."

"I'd be scared to," The boy mumbled as he glanced at a nearby table - toward some of the long-time members.

[Uke]

"I don't know why they bother," The girl admitted - as if she could tell what he was looking at, even though she was staring at her plate - "If we all tried we could easily over power them... but I guess they know we wont."

"I'd be scared to," The boy mumbled as he glanced at a nearby table - toward some of the long-time members.

[Mint]

"We could take out the robots and the guards, yeah." A blonde at the table ahead turned and smirked at them before tapping the collar around his neck. "But as long as someone has a chance to hit the button, we're down for the count."

A couple of the younger kids started fighting a table over, catching some attention.

[Uke]

"I feel sorry for them," The girl commented as they watched them fighting. "They've been here... what, six months? It probably still hasn't sunk in yet that they've been sold by their so-called parents."

"So were we," The boy with the bandage commented.

"I'm done feeling sorry for myself, though," She scoffed.

"What are they fighting over?" He asked, trying to listen in.

[Mint]

"Something stupid, who bothers fighting?" The blonde boy snorted before turning back to his meal.

The redhead and his companions watched as the boys shoved each other out onto the floor, but they didn't even get the pleasure of really throwing blows before one of the pod-bots floated over and a red light lit up on its base. The red lights on the collars on the boys' neck began to glow and both of them dropped limply to the floor- unconscious. Two other bots- these ones med-units with white rather than the uniform black of the security units -floated over and scooped the boys up to carry them back to their rooms. It was actually kinda sad. It took a while for that sense of helpless confinement to sink in sometimes. It set a fire in the redhead and he started stirring his food around more vigorously.

[Uke]

"At least combat training is next," The girl next to him said, patting him on the back rather roughly - she didn't really know how to control her strength most of the time.

"Oh goodie," The bandaged boy snorted, rolling his eyes. "Your favorite past time, Red... beating the crap out of me!"

[Mint]

"At least you have bandages." The redhead snorted. "They'll knock me out before I kill ya, Lee."

[Uke]

"I wouldn't kill you!" 'Lee' scoffed.

"No shit," The girl laughed. "You'd just make him kill himself, LiSen!"

"I would not!" LiSen shrieked. "Red is my friend!"

"Yes, we all know he is," a voice called from another table. "Now keep your voice down and for the love of Tartarus, stop thinking so loudly!"

LiSen and the girl both winced and shrunk in their seats.

[Mint]

"Or maybe you could stop eaves dropping and bury your head in the sand." Red shot back at the person. "Shut the hell up and mind your own business!"

They were right though, it was so noisy today, even if no-one was saying a word.

[Uke]

Silence followed his outburst, however, and both of his friends shot him a look as if he had asked out right to be shoved out the doors and into the wild.

They both scooted away and he heard three chairs push away from a table behind him, before three pairs of feet crossed the floor.

"What did you say to me?" The person breathed hotly, now behind him.

[Mint]

The redhead dropped his spoon and held his head, swaying a bit on the bench.

Cables and wires...IV cords hanging out of his arms and fluids pumping into him non-stop. He couldn't think...the chirping the of machines he was wired to was drowning out everything else...except for the constant murmur from the children in the building...

Red blinked and shook his head to clear it. What the hell had that been. He looked up and saw the three figures in front of him.

"He did ask you a question." A tall blonde with black streaks in his hair said- his eyes locked onto Red coldly.

[Uke]

"Do you know who I am?" The boy sneered.

He was a rarity, much like Red, but even more so... because even amongst people not living in The Facility, albinism was rare.

The boy was Kayen Reese - the original experiment. No one knew how he'd gotten there or how long he'd been there, but the 0001 marking the upper part of his long sleeved shirt was enough to send most people running.

"He didn't mean it!" LiSen cried. "He didn't realize he was-"

He fell silent at one glance from Kayen.

[Mint]

"You're...short?" Red tried with a shrug.

"...Well, you really weren't specific." The blonde on Kayen's other side snickered before he pressed his foot to the table and kicked it back- sending it and Red skidding back against the wall.

"Gah!" Red winced as he was pinned between the table and the wall.
