Annie respond in a calm voice,”I am sorry for not asking your name before and forcing come with us. I should have spoke up for you to and told them not to force you to come with us. I hope you can forgive me. We didn’t even know we were going to be here. So lets start over.” She really hopes that she would forgive her.

A few seconds later, she said with in a calm voice,” My name is Annie Wells. What’s is your name? I was wondering when you woke up did you see anything or hear anything? I am terrified what is going on right now.”

Isaac had been expecting an outburst from someone, sometime - but not about this. He leaned back, blinking in surprise, and almost immediately felt a surge of uncharacteristic anger. It boiled up from his stomach and brushed at his thoughts, threatening to verbalise itself in what could have been an intense shouting match - but was stopped quite sharply by his own surprise, then the flush of realization that the woman wasn't entirely wrong to be so upset at them. He let out a sigh that released more frustration than he'd expected.

" Well... I'll give you half of it, " He eventually replied, one hand again rubbing at his ear almost unconsciously. There was a slight twitch of annoyance in his expression, but it didn't seem to be aimed at the writer - nor the others. " We were feeling pretty pressed for time, on-edge and all - but yeah, we could've had the courtesy to share names at least. "

" I wouldn't change my mind about bringing you with us though. Whoever's got us here arrived not long after we did, so you'd have been up there on your own when they showed up - maybe you'd have been ignored, or killed, or just brought along here anyway. " Isaac stopped here for a few moments, shutting his eyes and shaking his head as a grimace worked its way over his face. HIs hand that'd been rubbing his ear instead moved to cover it up with his palm, his other tightening on the arm of the chair he was sat on.

" Goddess- Just what's with that fucking thumping?! " He suddenly exclaimed, his eyes opening as he looked around the room - searching for some kind of source. Not that it would make any sense to the others - after all, there was no such noise to be heard. He dragged his hand away from his ear, irritated, but looked around at the writer again - clearly trying to continue despite whatever was bothering him. " The kid's all over the place, but she's got a point with starting over now that we're here. I'm Isaac. "

Elizabeth turned her head when the girl complained. Sadness crept upon Elizabeth as bad memories returned. She did not want to think about them. Arms crossed, the petite lady noticed a few more red lights. Presumably, the doors everyone past locked.

“Thumpin’?” Rory asked.

While Annie and Isaac consoled the girl, Elizabeth returned to her little investigation.

“There’s gotta be some way out of here...” She felt the door and walls. Nothing.

Rory noticed her failures.

“Aw, fer croin’ out laud! Can ye do anytihn’? Use yer head, wuhman!” Rory got up, grabbed a chair and used it as an awkward club against the sliding door. Elizabeth skipped out of the way.

"Open deh foohkin' door ya tarts!"

"A chair isn't heavy enough to break down a door..."

"'An if I can't break it, sumwun's gotta 'elp me use a sofa fer a batterin' ram!"

Perhaps the thumping Isaac heard was of prophetic nature! Maybe, Rory would either break the door down or the chair.

"Well, if anyone's helping you carry a sofa to use as a ram, it's not gonna be me," Elizabeth remarked. Which was reasonable, there was only so much her tiny stature could do.

Harry Richard

The writer from earlier went on a rant, Isaac was complaining about a thumping noise, Annie asked a question that she had already asked, and through some 6D chess leap of logic, Rory was attempting to break down a hard metal door with a simple chair.

He needed a plan. But he couldn't think. And shouting for quiet would either add to the racket, or turn everyone else's anger against him.

Harry groaned, rose to his feet, and threw his shoe at Rory's back. Not hard enough to injure, but enough to catch him off guard, get his attention, and hopefully make him stop. "Wood can't break steel," he would say rather bluntly, if Rory turned back to look at him.

"And you," he turned to the writer, "if you didn't want to get involved in this, you should have walked away when you first heard the outpost was attacked. You think whoever grabbed us wouldn't have checked the inn, or that they would have left you alone? Chances are, you would have ended up here anyway, so stop blaming us. We're all in the same boat now."

I absolutely think that, as I already told you. Even looking at it factually, with decisions based on the amount of evidence that we have, there’s just as much to say I would be fine as there is to say I would be standing here anyways. That amount, in both cases, is zero.
” the writer replied, annoyance creeping into her voice as she spoke to Harry without turning around. “
So while I may not have an argument to prove I am right, neither do you have a conclusive one to prove I am wrong.


The annoyance edged out of her voice a bit as she continued with, “
I honestly have no intention of holding the actions against you...I just needed to get that out of my system so I could be a bit more rational. You’re not going to get much more from me, though, at least not about here. I’ve only been out here for a few minutes more than all of you, although I can tell you one thing for certain.


Raising her voice as she said the last bit, the writer announced, “
And that is that the door is most certainly not going to get broken down by anything we’ve got in here.
” It was pretty clear that, by raising her voice, she had been directing it at the guy trying to break the door down.

What she said would at least back up what Rory’s attempt would show him, and that was that the door was very solid and not at all succeptible to an attack with a wooden chair. The chair itself was quite nice, though; solid wood and well crafted, which he would be able to tell from how it felt when he picked it up. That would not, unfortunately, stop it from breaking from the repeated powerful strikes against the room’s exit.

Lowering her voice back to a normal volume, she added with a shrug, “
That’s my opinion from giving it a punch, at least. It doesn’t feel like most metal I’ve come into contact with, and the way it reverberated seemed as though it was quite solid.
"

Still, this room feels less like a prison and more like a...well, maybe prison is still the right word, but one that’s designed with the comfort of its inhabitants in mind. The only thing I don’t see is a ready source of food or water, and I imagine that’s because a large supply couldn’t really fit in here without a great deal of additions that would take away from the overall security.


As she talked, there would be a strange sensation for everyone in the room. For a few moments, everyone would get a somewhat fuzzy picture in their heads, almost like a memory that felt like it wasn’t coming from their own minds. It was a clearer picture of what some of them might have seen before, when waking up between falling unconscious and coming back in the bed here. A bright light overhead obscured quite a bit of their vision, but there were people around the bed with surgical garments on, and in the hands of a few they could see some instruments. The one that stood out though was what looked like a large syringe in the hands of someone to their left, but before anything else could be noted the image vanished.

As for my name, it’s Talia.
” the writer finished, finally turning around to face everyone. With a nod in their direction, she took a seat on the chair that she had been before, looking much more relaxed and composed than she had when they had exited the rooms. She didn’t comment on Isaac’s exclamation, although there was a curious glance shot in his direction from her at the time of it.

A moment later, the sound of a sliding door could be heard behind everyone, and one of the doors in the wall slid open, revealing Lias standing there with her hands over her ears. Looking very unsteady, she ignored everyone and went over to the room’s nearest corner, sitting down with a pained expression on her face. Her hands didn’t leave her ears, and as she sat down she shut her eyes, looking like she was trying to focus on something.

Annie listened to the conversation around her. As the writer talked she felt a strange sensation in her. For a few moments, she get a somewhat fuzzy picture in her head, almost like a memory that felt like it wasn’t coming from her own mind of what happened to her when she woke up between falling unconscious and coming back in the bed here. It made her so scared and confused what's going on here. She barley heard the writer's name was as she was trying to figure out if what she saw was real or a dream.

A few minutes later, she said in a scared voice,"Nice to meet you Talia. I was wondering did you guys have a strange vision or a memory coming back to you before?" She sat next to Talia trying to stay calm and focus on what to do but, she was terrified at the same time.

“Ey! Quit yappin’ ‘n get ta work!” Rory exclaimed after the shoe bounced off him. The nice chair loosened up and broke apart, unlike Talia’s hand. “Nyeh!” Rory threw the thing down.

“Maybe you should try hitting it with your head?” Elizabeth suggested, arms crossed. “Seems dense enough.”

“Hah-hah! Good one!” Rory replied with a grin, but it vanished just as fast. “But I ain’t gonna be trapped uhp in ‘ere.”

For a while, memories of the recent past came to mind, perhaps. Surgeons? What happened when they first got here? Elizabeth frowned, but Rory continued to go about and look for a way out, whilst Annie continued her tone with Talia, terrified about something.

Lias appeared, ears covered. She sat in a corner and kept to herself voicelessly.

“Hmm. I was hoping at least she didn’t end up here,” Elizabeth remarked quiety then leaned against the wall. She thought about what Annie said, Did she have a vision like me? Hm. If we’ve all had visions, maybe that woman's is still going?

“Ey! Is deh Church’s jurisdiction part a’ dis ‘r whah?” Rory asked as he approached Lias and gave her foot a little kick.

One of the lights above the fourth door beeped softly and turned green. A few moments later a slender redhead would walk out of the door, dressed exactly like the rest of the group. She stopped as she stepped into the main room and noticed people standing around talking. Her mouth opened into a slight "O" Shape as she took in the differences between each person.

She started to back up into her room but she did not accommodate for her steps and backed into the wall next to her door, not allowing her retreat The girl lowered her head and her hair fell in front of her face.
"Hi."
Her voice was soft and slightly melodic, but sounded slightly rough as if she hasn't used her voice in a long time.
" I have come out into this room many times and never has there been anyone else."


The girl lifted her head and there was a confidence present that wasn't there when she first walked out.
"My name is Violet. Pleasure to finally see someone else here. Its been quite lonely. How did you all get captured? Seems like you know each other."
Violet smiled and the scar on her left cheek stretched with the action, drawing attention to itself.
There isn't one.
