"This is all getting a bit... Much."

Octavia could only sigh as she rubbed at her neck, a small mumble escaping her as she began to inch her way away from the conflict of the group. With Zirco and Leiko about to have a spat... And her roommate deciding that the best course of action was to interfere, Octavia just wanted to do the exact opposite and go to some place where the conflict wouldn't be relevant. To her... The best place for freedom from the conflict was to find her way back towards the kitchen. Leaving the lab this morning had been such a fast paced trip that she didn't even register that she hadn't been able to eat breakfast, and after that chaos of a meeting with Kaiba and the whirlwind tour that followed, she was definitely a bit on the hungry side. She slowly made her way down the stairs and tried to figure out where exactly the kitchen had been... The complex definitely wasn't tiny.

As she stumbled her way through the hall connected to the kitchen, her stomach rumbled and a little groan escaped her. It really felt like she hadn't eaten in forever after everything that happened, so the best course of action was to go and pester the sword man for something to snack on. Whether it was something small or something actually more like a meal…

"Ay! Barbatos! Can I get a snack before meal time? I didn't have any breakfast!" Octavia tossed the doors to the cafeteria as she marched into the room, her arms risen into the air after she did. She marched towards the back of the cafeteria, a wide grin on her face as she took some quick steps over to the counter, planting her hands on it to heft herself up to get a better look at the man across the counter. She didn't even wait as she beamed up at him, her mind focused on one simple fact.

She needed food.

Barbatos looked over his shoulder to see the tiny (to him, anyways) girl asking about a snack before breakfast. He took the sword he was currently peeling apples with and spun it, inserting it into a sheath by the sink before he walked over to the counter.

“I can get you something, I'll just need to ask you two questions,” he replied. “You want something light or heavy, and what's your name?” 

She closed her eyes for a moment as she considered the first question, “Probably something light, I don’t want to fill up before the meal… And it’s Octavia. I was going to introduce myself during the tour, but before I got to do it, Mr. E had already started dancing out the door.”

“Octavia, huh? Well, nice to meet you,” he paused to think. “Yeah, I can imagine Mr. E didn't leave much room to talk to any of us,” he sighed. “I think he's enjoying this too much. He's usually such a stoic man,” he turned around, looking at the food he had. “I think the only thing I can really consider light is…,” he handed her a plate of apples cut in the shape of rabbits. “Is this good?”

Octavia let out a small snicker as she nodded her head, “He was definitely enjoying it or at least… He was really good at pretending to enjoy the whirlwind tour he was running.” She beamed as she grabbed the plate from Barbados and began to nibble on the apples, a small sigh escaping her, “This definitely helps, I just need to tide myself over for a little…” 

She spent a little bit of time lazily chatting with Barbatos as she sat down at the counter, humming to herself before finally standing up once she finished off the light snack. With the energy from the snack settling in, she waved a hand behind her as she stepped out of the cafeteria, “I’ll see you later, Barbatos! Thanks for the snack.” 

She whistled as she exited the room, making her way back up to the floor where their rooms were located... She moved towards one of the unclaimed rooms to push the door open, moving into it to plop down onto a bed and kick back, pulling her deck box out of her jacket to start flipping through the cards lazily, examining the deck as she let out a little sigh. 

Octavia

The fact that Kaiba was willing to hear her out about Hearthome... That was surprising. She had expected it to be a much harder sale considering that he had already offered them a rather generous reward for agreeing. Even stranger was the fact that he seemed willing to entertain the notion of a billion each, which Octavia wouldn't have expected in her wildest dreams. Shannon's terrible gambit paid off this time, it seemed. As people stepped forward, expressing that they were either willing to go along with the plan for one reason or another, Octavia sort of just... Checked out. Her hand had slipped into her hoodie to pull out the box of cards she held, idly twisting the box around in her hand in circles as she took a deep breath and tried to relax. The strange situation definitely wasn't optimal, it wasn't going to be fun most likely, but... The reward was more than worth it. She couldn't see the logic behind not caring about the reward, but the sentiment was probably enough for those people. On the other hand, the other girl who had mentioned Hearthome was surprising to her. She smiled slightly at the nod being given to her, a relieved sigh escaping her as she relaxed back into her seat.

Right up until the last girl. It was strange that they were all accepting it, it didn't surprise her that one of them didn't feel up to the task. Hell, if she had anywhere else to go for sure, she wasn't sure she would stick with it herself...

"What the...?!"

Octavia scowled as Zirco jumped and started to pull off his clothing, her face scrunching up a little bit as she mumbled under her breath. Even if he had a point, even if he was right about Leiko wanting to leave despite others willing to stick with it having gone through worse, his behavior was not a good sign for the future if they were going to have to work together. If she felt like she couldn't handle it... Was it worth having her stick around?  Octavia wasn't about to jump up and get between the two of them though, no way. He seemed like he was more than angry enough to lash out at anyone who tried to interfere there...

And with Kaiba attempting to intervene, she was definitely glad she didn't. The ensuing fight was fast, and before she knew it... The argument was over. Zirco stood up and even apologized, and thanks to his back being to the group, she wasn't even able to see what had caused it. Her face scrunched up in thought as she shook her head lightly, with Kaiba seeing fit to finally leave in the same outrageous manner he had arrived in, the group was left rather... Sullen, for the most part. It didn't seem like they were particularly optimistic at the moment, between the infighting and the bad news about the previous Signers... All they could do was prepare for the tour that Mr. E had prepared for them, a little sigh escaping Octavia as she stood up. It was time to get a look at her new home...

»»————-　♡　————-««

Mr. E never stopped talking. At first it was a little irritating, but as time went on, it seemed to just become... Background noise. He was cheerful enough that she didn't get annoyed with his attitude and she wasn't quite able to keep up with what he was talking about. It wasn't that she was trying to ignore it, it's just that the tour was distracting her a little bit. Their first stop was some weird garage thing. Octavia had never really gotten the appeal of these D-Wheel's, it seemed like it was far too easy to just crash and burn if you were trying to drive and play a card game at the same time. It was entirely possible that she might get forced onto one of these at some point, and that thought... Scared her more than a little bit. She could respect the devices as creations, but...

"Oh, you guys are here!"

She hadn't even noticed the man who was working a little further down. He was probably the one who had fixed up the other's D-Wheels... She checked out of the coming conversation relatively early, after all she would probably never be on one of those machines. That was certainly her hope, at least.

The next stop was much more interesting! The kitchen, home of good smells and hopefully equally good food! Given the choice between eating bland food like what she was given at the last establishment and trusting this new, strange man who claimed to be the cook, she would take him by a long shot...

Barbatos. That was his name, huh? She leaned up against the counter as her eyes widened from him cutting the vegetables with the sword... Those looked fresh. She was so tempted to just try and snag a little bite before the tour continued... But that sword was definitely enough of a deterrent that she instead tore herself from the wonderful smelling room to continue the tour... But she was definitely going to have to make a few stops in here when the cookman was less busy. She had things to ask and food to eat...

A gym. And a swimming pool. She had never been extremely interested in the swimming part of things, but keeping in shape was probably a good idea. She would probably stick more to the gym side of things, but the occasional swim was never a bad thing, right? 

"This will probably be where I'll be today though, so if you don't like me, I suggest you avoid it."

Maybe today she skips out on the swimming though. He might not be the worst person to be around, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to risk being on his radar too much just yet. However, she wasn't sure she wanted to be on anyone's radar in all fairness.

»»————-　♡　————-««

The final stop on the tour was taking them up a flight of stairs. The floor split into two directions, a little sigh escaping Octavia as she rubbed at her neck briefly.

"So, your rooms are to the left and to the right. Because we didn't want to stick you in cells, the rooms were heavily remodeled, but that also took a lot of space. You all are gonna have to pair up. 2 a room,"

There was the catch. Of course she would have to share a room with someone, now she had to be thinking about that while she had the chance. There were the two panicky girls, Tora and Leiko... The other girl who was concerned about Hearthome was definitely an option, there was a common ground there, maybe that was her best choice. She was about to scoot over to say something to Natsumi, but before she could, Mr. E had thrown open the door in front of them and they were guided into the room. The massive library sprawled out in front of them... And a pang of nostalgia hit Octavia for a brief moment. Something about all the books just seemed to cause her to flinch as a hand reached up to rub at her eyes for a moment, then she collected herself. The rest of the room was equally outstanding, the fact they had access to that TV at their own whims wasn't something she would've expected back at her own isolated chambers back at the lab.

The scientists that introduced themselves seemed pleasant enough. Octavia smiled to them as they each introduced themselves and their roles, nodding her head to them as she took a deep breath, "It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm Octavia Hayes. Uh..." She rubbed at her neck, clearly out of introductions before starting to slink away. Mr. E had promptly announced dinner in two hours... And then disappeared off to the pool. 

"You think we should draw straws to see who has to sleep with him?"

"No, I'm kidding. I don't actually care, but the way I figure it he's going with one of the dudes. So, if anything, you Jet and Raijin will be drawing straws."

A small laugh escaped Octavia at that, a little smile creeping across her face as she nodded, "...I think she's right. You three might have to fight for that honor, I don't know what the rules are concerning boys and girls rooming together are here and honestly? I'm not in a rush to find out. We've got a decent enough split to make sure we don't have to."

She wasn't sure how much more she was going to say in regards to that, but she wasn't really given the time to think about it ultimately. She didn't quite register it but before she knew it, she was approached by easily the... Oddest of their little group. "Your name was Octavia, correct? I was planning to go claim a room before anything else... And I would like you to be my roommate. Is that quite alright?"

Oh she had made a big mistake. She hadn't been proactive enough this time, and now she was paying the price. She couldn't turn down the strange girl unless she wanted to risk setting her off, the weird ones always have some crazy temper underneath them... So Octavia shrugged her shoulders, giving a brief nod as she did, "Yep, Octavia. And you were Shannon, right? I can room with you, sure! I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to be doing right now, so... No harm in getting set up in a room before I decide. I don't have my things with me, I suppose my old handler will bring some of it later..." 

have you considered embracing being gay?

Octavia
»»————-　♡　————-««

"I understand how you feel, but for now, you'll have to keep your chin up and keep pushing forward."

That sort of caring tone was definitely not what she had expected to hear from the strange, strange man that had greeted them here, especially not after the strange introduction to him that they were given, but at the moment, Octavia couldn't really take the time to consider that. As soon as he was done talking and musing about the 'late' person, a sound began to grow above them, getting louder as a man began to descend from the sky and land on the ground, not too far away from them. Octavia could only lean back with a yelp as she pushed herself away from the table to try and process the sudden arrival, but he almost immediately began to speak upon landing, wasting no time to get right into the thick of things.

'Mr. Kaiba' didn't hesitate to introduce himself as the head of Kaiba Corp, though the follow up on shutting down this project definitely caught her attention. Even with the divided nature of the group, it felt like more of them were leaning towards not wanting to be here at all. Even the more neutral ones that weren't her didn't seem to be a big fan of it, with maybe one or two that were here and seemed happy about it...

The reveal that he wasn't going to shut it down yet was slightly disheartening at first, but he promptly followed it up with a rather... 'Generous' offer of a large sum of money and a full paid off home wherever they wanted if they cooperated with him... For Octavia, that was beyond anything she would've expected. She had calmed down enough to take a deep breath, before putting her hands down on the table in front of her as she relaxed, about to speak up...

"Hm... I'm not so sure about that, Mr. Kaiba."

Her again. The strange girl was starting to speak again, this time against the plan though? Just barely any time before she seemed entirely fine with whatever was happening! She kept going... Building up to her absurd demand of a billion each, a look of shock appearing on Octavia's face... Though thankfully that could just be in reaction to Kaiba and not Shannon's absurd request. Her voice lowered to a whisper as she leaned in towards Shannon, "Are you crazy?! He technically wouldn't have to give us anything at all if he didn't want to... The fact that he's offering us any compensation at all is incredible! You have to know when to haggle and this is not the time!"

After that, the girl who had shown Micheal and had shrugged towards her spoke up next, taking a more altruistic road. Respectable, but... Not something that Octavia could go along with herself. Even if she didn't want to admit, she had to acknowledge the confidence that Shannon had. She was holding none of the cards but had the balls to go for a push like that... Insanity, but the confidence was outstanding. She put her hands in the pockets of her jacket as she looked back towards Kaiba, deciding to go along with Shannon's bluff as best as she could. They couldn't afford to show an obvious crack in negotiation this early... "I'm in. Though, I'll have to go with the money and home myself. The money will help me back home... And I want to talk to you about the situation in Hearthome once we figure out what's going on with the missing people."

The introductions were going... Smoothly? As Mr. E danced around the room, Octavia could only let her hand drift down to the deck box inside of her jacket, her hand tightening around it for a moment as she took a deep breath. Some of them were acting a bit... Odd. Ignoring the fact that this weirdo was dancing around the room to introduce them when he could've just let them do it themselves, there was the fact that some of them seemed to be practically looking out into space, the only saving grace was that no one had really focused on her after all that. She was able to just watch and try her best to process what was happening, even though it wasn't going... That well, honestly. As the names of marks were mentioned, her hand gripped at her wrist gently, tightening for a moment as she returned to paying attention.

"I will be you new 'handler' as it where. I want you all to rely on me."

She blinked for a moment as she rubbed at her neck, glancing up at the ceiling as she leaned back in her seat, tilting the front legs off the ground just a bit as she thought about it. It wasn't like she had been particularly close to the last handler. And as weird as he was, she wasn't getting any vibes from him that she couldn't at least play along for now... So she smiled as she shrugged her shoulders, the best plan was to just go along with it right now. But things could only get... Weirder.

"have a sluuuuuuuuuuumber paaaaaaarty!!!"

Wait, what?

Octavia was about to rise up to her feet to question that, but before she could even get standing, someone beat her to it. The girl sitting next to her rose up almost immediately, as if she had just been waiting for Mr. E to finish speaking without even considering what he was saying. She slunk down into her seat more as she waited for the girl to finish talking, getting a strange look on her face as the girl proclaimed herself the leader so soon. It seemed like a large responsibility to take upon oneself so early, before she even knew what was going on here. If she wanted to take a chance on something like that, that was her choice.

Octavia hummed underneath her breath as the next introduction started up. Kiyoko, she didn't say much, did she? She kept it fairly brief, but respectful. Octavia wasn't sure if she was trying to make a joke about the tail being on the opposite end of the head or was just a little bit awkward, but... She didn't plan to poke at it, everyone had their moments.

Up next, rude boy. He didn't want to say his name. She made a mental note to keep that temper in mind, but she blinked for a moment at seeing the Xyz monster being held up from him. She winced lightly as she leaned back, she wasn't sure she wanted to be associated with him right now... Xyz users already had a bad reputation, she was trying to get around that.

After that was a girl who practically seemed to shrink down when she was addressed. And she was... Talking to the air? Just when she thought this group couldn't get much stranger, there was someone to prove her wrong. She finally held up her card, showing off a Fusion monster that Octavia couldn't quite make out, but... Either way, that was different than what the others were showing!

Hypatia was up next. She just seemed tired, as if she hadn't had a good night's sleep in forever. Or maybe she had slept too long and couldn't wake up? Either way, Octavia couldn't get a decent read on the girl, but it seemed like she wasn't alone on that, considering Hypatia wasn't even sure where she was from or what her dragon was...

After that was a girl who introduced herself as Natsumi. Surprisingly, she was also from Hearthome! Octavia didn't recall seeing anyone else like her in the lab down underneath the city, so either there was more than one lab or they were kept apart intentionally. Though when she showed off the Synchro dragon, a confused look crossed Octavia's face. Of all the things to expect, it certainly wasn't that, but she didn't get any time to ask a question.

Finally was Jet. At least, she thought that was his name. She kinda zoned out for a moment as she was pondering Natsumi's introduction. She caught his name on the second go around, he certainly didn't seem to be eager to introduce himself. She waited for him to finish before standing up herself, pulling her deck out of her jacket to pull a card from the top of it and hold it out... Only to quickly pull it back and take the bottom card instead once she realized her mistake. "I already introduced myself, but my name is Octavia. I also have a Mark of the Heart, and my dragon is Number 82: Heartlandraco! I'm from Hearthome City, I hope we can get along... But can I ask why we're supposed to have a sleepover? I, uh, didn't bring any of my nighttime stuff with me."

Octavia

Morning. The sun was starting to rise on the ruins of Hearthome City, stirring gang members to life while the night shift began to wind down. Despair and hope mixed together as people did whatever they had to do in order to survive the 'lawless' wasteland, but for some... There was a hidden side to the city. Deep underground, hidden away from the unruly masses was a testing facility, made to house... Something? And in that deep facility, one room was housed by their test subject...

The alarm in the pure white, bland room had started to go off around 5AM, signalling to the girl inside that it was time to wake up. The blankets on the bed shifted around as a small mumble escaped her, her eyes slowly opening up as she sat up, a hand stretching up into the air as her fell down behind her shoulders as she righted herself. She glanced around the room she was inside of, hand reaching up to rub at her neck a little bit as she tried to shake the sleep from her eyes. She stood up slowly, preparing for the day as usual, beginning with a quick clean up, her hands pulling her hair up into place behind her as she did. It wouldn't be long before she was pulled out for a day of testing, a brief lunch, and then even more testing...

Honestly, Octavia had never really understood what was going on in this place. She had only been here for a couple of years at this point, and the tasks that she was given to complete often made little sense to her. She would occasionally have to do extremely physical challenges, climbing, running, even a little bit of muscle training for her small figure, but other days she would have to focus on card games. Drawing cards, puzzles that required her to win in one turn, puzzles that required her to defeat a specific card that seemed unstoppable... 

But were also those strange experiments. Those were often deeply uncomfortable and not without a little bit of pain, she was glad those were done. They seemed rushed, the scientists were always rushing around her as she fluttered in and out of consciousness during them, as if they were afraid she was going to die on them. The more she considered it, the more it seemed like a reasonable concern, that first year had been a hell... But she was taken care of, otherwise. She had a safe...ish place to stay, she was fed, often more than she could handle after living out in the streets of Hearthome for so long, and she was given the chance to exploring her cards. It wasn't her best deal, but at least she wasn't entirely ripped off. And even though she wasn't sure why the experiments stopped in frequency after the first year, she was just starting to get used to the pain that accompanied them after all, now each one was as if the pain was being experienced for the first time... They seemed pleased that this strange mark had appeared on her just barely a month ago, a heart-shaped mark around her wrist. but they didn't want to explain anything about it to her, they only cared about starting the next test.

With the final touches to her appearance, getting dressed with her usual hoodie and jacket combo, and a quick brush to her teeth before a loud knocking occurred at the door, right on schedule.

"Octavia. Today we're doing something a bit different, you're going to be meeting with the others like you. Your time here is likely over now." The handler brushed her hair behind her ear as she waited for a response...

She blinked for a moment as she glanced up at the taller woman in front of her, Alexandria. She had never been particularly close to her, but she was the one person in the establishment that actually talked to her as if she was a person. The fact that she was supposedly leaving the lab should've been the thing to grab her attention, but... "Wait, others?"

"Come along, I'll answer what questions I can after the scientists do a few last minute check ups. They want to be absolutely sure there's nothing at risk of going wrong. It'll be short."

»»————-　♡　————-««

Short was one way to describe the tests, but another would've been annoying. Nothing was outright painful this time and the scientists seemed to be keeping to a strict schedule as the test was done in less than twenty minutes. The biggest test seemed to be taking some blood for future purposes, but it was a speedbump in her learning more about what was about to happen. Alexandria escorted Octavia out of the lab to the ruined city of Hearthome, and a wave of memories hit Octavia all at once. She took a little glance around the rubble of the back street they were on as she thought about her life here, a little frown on her face as she let out a little sigh. "Where are we going?"

Alexandria motioned for her to follow, guiding her around the bend of the building to a small car that she opened the back door to, "Satellite. There's business there that must be attended to. I'll be driving you there myself. We have to leave early to avoid any gang activities."

Octavia nodded as she stepped inside of the car with little argument, settling into the back seat behind Alexandria quietly as she scooted to the opposite side of the driver's seat. The car began to move, and the ride started...

"What exactly are we doing there? You mentioned that there were others like me..." Octavia watched as the hands tightened on the steering wheel, before a small sigh came from the front of the car.

"I did say I would answer a few questions... But yes, I have heard that you weren't the only one experimented on this way. I don't know the exact number, but you'll be meeting them today."

Octavia nodded her head gently as she looked up at the roof of the car, thinking about what the others might be like. Hopefully they wouldn't be too hard to get along with, hopefully they would be more sociable than the scientists were, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully... But before long another question popped into her head, "...Isn't Satellite a prison district?" Her hand gripped at the car seat as she asked that question, surely...

"It is. What they want you all there for, I don't know. When you get there, be respectful."

The rest of the car ride was spent in silence between the two of them, Octavia's nerves building as she confirmed her suspicions. It wasn't exactly confidence building to know where they were heading, but with nowhere else to go it wasn't like she had a choice. The two of them sat quietly until the car finally pulled up at their destination, and Alexandria opened the door to let Octavia out of the car. She motioned for Octavia to follow her down the halls of the prison complex coming to one last door between them and their destination, before speaking up, "...You've done very well. Remember your lessons and keep growing, and you'll be fine. No matter what anyone throws at you."

Alexandria turned and walked away from Octavia before even waiting for a response... And she was alone.

»»————-　♡　————-««

She braced herself against the wall next to the door for a moment as she took a deep breath, preparing herself mentally for whatever was about to come. She stumbled for a moment as she pushed herself away from the wall, but without any hesitation she opened up the door and walked inside, taking a quick glance around the room at the gathering of people. Her first instinct was to try and make herself small to avoid being noticed, but...

"Uh... I'm Octavia Hayes. It's nice to meet you all." She bowed her head down to the group, before making her way to the table her hands diving back into her hoodie's pockets. She made her way to the table and took a seat next to a girl who... Almost certainly spent at least an hour in the bathroom getting ready in the morning, if that outlandish appearance was anything to go by. The group was... An odd one, to say the least. Some of them looked like they were actively angry about this, some looked... Entirely disconnected, while some were perfectly fine with what was going on. Octavia... Could only sit in confusion as she waited for a little bit of clarification on what was even happening here...

So I already know you liked Zombieland Saga, for what it's worth I did too obviously, but I'm curious if there was anything about the series that left a particularly bad taste in your mouth? And given that we'll likely get a second season, what are some things you're hoping to see from it?

One of the biggest pieces of advice I've gotten was to stop thinking so many people are watching me out in public. Generally people are going about their own days and we're just barely even a blip on their radar. I get caught up in thinking what people are thinking about me and it steamrolls me with my anxiety. I gotta stop letting that happen.

Box of Surprises

Not entirely done. Have a few Misc Things to add, along with finishing touches on some things, but the base is done.

You can get one superpower absolutely free. But wait, it has to be a shitty power that does more harm than good and isn't really a day-saver so much as an inconvenience. What sort of power do you take?

that's not a superpower that's a curse, dummy.

I want the ability to make a garden snake appear whenever I flip a coin, it's not super inconvenient to me but I know plenty of people who would freak out over a storm of garden snakes and it's inconvenient that i would have to actually think before flipping a coin. That counts right?

Stoked to see you around again! What's the project on?

Heya Cat, good to see you too!

The project is that I'm revamping an old fic that I was working on, rewriting the early chapters and working on redoing the outline to be more solid overall. The early chapters are what I'm working on right now, and I'm going to write a bit before I start releasing chapters because I don't want to start and then never finish, as long as I have a backlog I'll be able to release regularly without having to worry if I need a couple days off from working on it.

The fic itself is Pokemon themed, so it might not be for everyone, but I'll have fun with it at least. :'P

If you've got questions for a bird, now's a time to get them out. It's been a while since I last did one of these, since my activity on the old forum dropped off... Pretty hard. But I'm around again I think! I think I'm here, in any case.

I think I saw you in the member list a few days ago. I was wondering when you'd start getting active xP

Welcome to NCM~

I'll take advantage of posting this as greeting because the emoji exists:

I made my account but I've been a bit distracted working on a project, I forgot to actually post shit here. :'P

But hello and thanks! It's good to see you around Sleepy!
