Taiko had never felt more at peace in his life. Everything was calm and quiet, he was finally allowed to have no care in the world. He never imagined that Colorado of all places would be where he became free. At the break of dawn he had went outside and watched the sun rise over the trees, listened as the birds sang their wake up song, and felt the morning dew fall onto the grass and his skin. He had been sitting on the highest point he could, the roof, for quite a while. The feeling of sitting out in the quiet wake of the sun filled him with hope and peace. As soon as Noel came to the roof, the thin blanket of silence was broken. Another presence ended the wondrous feeling that he had been embraced in. Of course, he had almost forgotten Hyde was on the rooftop with him due to how little he affected the so called “blanket”. He sighed, but didn’t turn to face Noel, instead he simply replied to the appearance with a “Good morning”. He slowly stood up, placed his hands in his pockets, and made his way to the ground below.

With the veggies safely delivered, Hyde was free to do as he pleased for a while. Stretching out his gangly limbs, he barely covered up a yawn and twisted his head this way and that relishing in the crack of vertebrae. The peace was so boring for him, mundane day to day life dragging its feet. It was a drag, not enough to keep Hyde entertained for long. For many people, it was a shock to learn that Hyde craved the thrill of battle and the rush of adrenaline that sated that deep sated itch within him, always sputtering about how his powers were suited to utility and support rather than belonging on the front lines. Hyde disagreed, however. His powers were exactly what was needed in the thick of battle, his constant regeneration providing him with the best defence anyone could hope for. Like hell he was going to put others before himself, Hyde wasn't that much of a goody-two-shoes. In a world like this where dog ate dog, one could only look out for themselves and kindness was a luxury that Hyde couldn't afford to share. Anyone who thought that they could survive on the charity of others was a fool. Letting out a breath from his nose, he reached into his pocket, he produced a multitool and flicked open the blade before meandering towards the entrance. Staying cooped up in a building wasn't really his thing either so he made his way outside to breathe in the stale air. Maybe today he would start a fight... wouldn't that be fun?

As he made his way down the building, a soft ching stopped him dead in his tracks. The sound of metal rubbing against metal could only mean that it was a knife of some sorts, maybe a pocket knife. His breathing began to hasten and his eyes began to wonder. Should he really be worrying this much about such a little thing, but he was. He turned to see Hyde walking along quite far behind him, which somewhat settled his nerves. Still... The fact that he had a knife made him uneasy. What would he use it for? Most importantly, why was he so paranoid about it? Taiko tried taking a few slow breaths to calm him down, which surprisingly worked, before continuing to walk to the bottom floor

It didn't take long before Xaiver had cleared his head. Up here, the worries and bad feelings that had filled his head seemed like they were miles away. Xaiver was never really relaxed though, so he was still sitting stiffly even as in his mind, he smiled a little. But he couldn't stay still for long. One of the plauges of having a teleporting ability. Just meant that he never could be in one place before feeling like he had to get up and move. So, standing up, he turned around. Maybe if he just started wandering, he could relax. It wasn't guarenteed, but walking always calmed him down. So, Xaiver walked to the door. Pausing, he teleported to the bottom of the stairs. A bit of a strain, but hey, it wasn't horrible. He realized a second later that he had nearly ran over Hyde and Taiko, somehow at the same time. "Sorry!" he gasped, before hurrying away. Hyde always seemed to make him uneasy, but with the worries that had been plauging him, Xaiver might just be paranoid. Though he could never figure out why, it was so peaceful...

On the floor of an empty room, a small pile of blankets shifted. A groan sounded from the fabric pile, and a lone hand pushed the blankets away, revealing a curled figure beneath them. Stretching himself, Ryan heard his joints crack, the temporary arthritis vanishing. He didn't know what time is was, but he didn't care too much either. Sitting up, Speirs scratched his unshaved face, a bit of stubble layering his jaw with pepper. Glancing around, the young man stood, grabbing a tank top and a pair of black jeans to pull over his excess of exposed skin. Then, he snapped his fingers and pressed his right thumb and middle finger against the wall. Pulling the appendages back to him, he scowled. Two burn marks sat painted to the wall where he had pressed his fingers. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Ryan kicked his door open. "Is breakfast ready yet?" He called out to the currently empty hallways, his stomach growling in response.

(I know she's a kid, but imagine her older-)

Alex worked in the kitchen, giving a small nod of thanks when Hyde had dropped off the vegetables. Noel came up behind Alex and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, resting her head on Alex's shoulder, taking care not to hurt Alex's angel wings, which were much smaller than Ripley's wings. "Is the food ready yet? I'm hungry."

Alex laughed a little, a trickling sound escaping the human angel's lips. "Almost. Get the others rounded up."

Noel nodded and started to the wall and pushed a small button, a light lit up in all rooms by the kitchen icon, indicating that food was ready, or almost, and that they should go down so they didn't miss out.

Xavier was lucky that he bumped into Hyde at the moment he had flicked his multitool shut or else there would be quite the awkward predicament of having to explain why someone had a hole stabbed into them. Steadying the hurrying male by the shoulders, Hyde did a quick once over just to make sure that the other wasn't hurt. "It's no problem, sweetheart." He said smoothly, giving him a calm smile as he watched Xavier hurry away. He wondered why the other was in such a hurry but quickly discarded the thought. It wasn't any of his business what others did. Glancing further up ahead, he gave a wave to Taiko, spotting the other as he slipped the multitool into his pocket. "G'morning, did you sleep well?" He greeted heartily, his plans for chaos put on the backburner for now. For now, he would have to be the nice one and blend in with the peaceful atmosphere. Adrenaline and chaos could always be found someplace else.

“Oh....breakfast. Right....do you think we’ll have to see others, Kyla?” The shadow wolf simply nuzzled her head into her neck in response, before nodding her head. “oh alright Kyla, I’ll go” She got up, changed into her all black combat outfit, and went to go get something to eat

After wandering the hallways for a while without response, Ryan started to grow bored. And hungrier, if he could. Sighing, he started towards the kitchen, just in case there was food already prepared. He'd long since started to ignore the subtle things of the building, among those being the signal that food was indeed ready for consumption. Voices echoed quietly in the hallways, surrounding Speirs as he walked. Slowly, he raised his right hand and snapped. The sound was louder than that of an average snap, and easily drowned out the voices. The heat that surrounded Ryan's hand was also comforting. The only downside to this, he had to either keep his hand in his pocket and listen to the voices, or enjoy a loud beat at the price of holding his hand out. Unsurprisingly, the man settled on the latter option. Echoes creeped him out, especially quiet ones. Quiet echoes were the worst.

All Taiko did was give a nod, then walked off. As soon as he walked away from sight, a shudder that had been suppressed was let out. Well that was unpleasant... He had finally made his way to the bottom floor where the kitchen was, but made sure to stay out of sight. As much as he was starving, he couldn’t really go in there anyways. He had sat down at the table, even when he insisted on not having a plate. Surely they would catch on that something was off about him soon. He made a terrible mistake mentioning that his “special ability” was growing stronger the more he ate, but he never specified what he needed to eat. No one had seen him eat a single thing the entire time he was here... He decided that the simple solution was to just not go to the kitchen and eat in his room, he didn’t have the choice of flat out telling them the horrifying power he had. He sighed and quietly made his way to the door, hoping to have a little more free time outside.

Raelyn was the first to arrive to find lots of hearty veggies baked into the egg bake that Alex had just cooked. Several slices of toast popped out of the toaster. Alex turned to Raelyn's foot fall and smiled. "Morning~ Did you sleep well?"

Xavier just kept walking. He felt a lot better now, being able to wander the halls without the suffocating feeling of being in a single room. But after a while, he knew that he needed to stop. Ducking into one of the empty rooms, he leaned against the wall to catch his breath. Suddenly, Xavier jumped when he realized that the button had lit up. Looked like the food was ready. Xavier hadn't even realized that he was starving, not even when he had seen all of the produce on the roof. But now that he was aware, the fact punctuated by a loud rumble of his stomach that would have been embarrassing if he wasn't alone, he exited the room, using his ability to make the walk faster. He quickly switched to walking when he found himself getting tired from using his ability too much, the last time he had overdone himself Xaiver had been passed out for hours. Entering the kitchen, he simply stood in the corner silent and unmoving, tucking his hands into his pockets.

“Morning, Xavier, Alex” she smiled, forced, before taking her fair share of food and sitting down. Kyra came bounding through the wall, and through Xavier to get to Raelyn. “Hello, Ky, what are you doing here?” Raelyn asked, stroking the wolf

Hyde wouldn't say that he was sad that no one really did like to talk to him, he wasn't, but a frown did tug on his lips. Was his bloodlust really that noticeable and offputting? Or did people just not like him? Tucking that thought away, he bypassed the kitchen and dining area entirely and made himself at home outside the compounds. By now, he supposed that most people assumed that he didn't eat and to an extent, he didn't. His constant healing and regeneration meant that he could regrow the dying cells within his body but he couldn't exactly live like that either. His powers multiplied what was already present, knitting back wounds through expedited cell division but it drew on his own energy reserves thus he would eventually have to eat and rest. But for now, he suspected that he could go another day or so before his body started to eat itself out seeking a source of energy. For now, he supposed that he would simply satisfy a different type of hunger and made his way towards the training area to mess around for a while.

The training area was massive, there were all sorts of training equipment. Weapons. Survival areas. ~~if push came to shove~~ Targets. The whole nine yards.

Skyla was already there, shooting many, many moving targets, aiming to hit every single one. Her trusty Splat Charger shot ink out nailing the targets every time, her eyes flickered as a new one popped up. Not minding Hyde's presence she kept going, kept shooting the targets down. She moved with grace and ease, despite the fact she was wearing heels.

(think back to our HG rps, but much bigger. I also didn't get to come up with Skyla's image yet, but it's Agent 8 with the ponytail hairstyle, and yes she's an Octoling, haven't decided the color yet.)

Ryan practically kicked down the door to the kitchen when he got there, the door material letting out a small crack as it flew open. "What's for breakfast? I'm starved!" The man wasn't at the table as he should have been, rather at the entrance to the actual kitchen. He didn't do that often, usually grabbing a plate and leaving. He normally only entered the kitchen when something was on his mind. He also only slept on the floor when something was on his mind, but his sleeping habits were mostly unknown to the others. At least, that's what Ryan hoped. He wasn't sure if anybody watched him whilst his eyes were closed.

After nearly jumping a mile into the air when Ryan made his grand enterance, Xavier supposed he wasn't going to be satisfying his hunger by standing in the corner, he supposed it was his own aversion to talking to people that had caused him to hide. Still, he wasn't going to get anywhere except maybe dead from starvation if he kept this up. So, he grabbed a plate and began serving himself food quietly. When he was done, he went to the table and started picking at his food. He was starving, but the boy had developed a habit of slowly eating.

Alex had jumped at Ryan nearly busting down the kitchen door. . .again. With a sigh she fixed him a plate and handed it to him. "You're going to have to fix that door again. How many times do we have to tell you not to do that?"

Ryan took hold of the plate, sticking his tongue out at Alex. "I'll fix it later." Grabbing a pinch of food, he stuck the morsel in his mouth. "Wow.. This is terrible!" He took another bite. Between swallows, he asked, "So, when is noon again? I'll be back at noon with a wrench or screwdriver or something for th' door." He still stood in the kitchen, leaning against the doorframe as he ate and spoke. "Also, what day is it? And month? And are we still trying to keep track of years? The last calendar I saw said two thousand six, but I'm not sure if that's right."

After hearing a loud thud coming from behind him, he closed his eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. Good grief... How much longer could he stay here? He knew he couldn’t just walk away, he would be killed. This was the only place he was safe, but even then it felt like he was standing on a land mind field. One small slip up and kaboom. He looked to the left of him to see the training area, a place he refused to go. If he used too much of his energy, he would have to eat something. He would usually cut off a piece of himself to fill that need, but doing that too much in such a short amount of time would kill him. He quickly diverted his eyes to the forest that he had planned to go to, then walked over. After making sure no one followed after walking in the thicket a fair distance, he sat down at the base of a tree and took out a simple pocket knife, nothing like the one Hyde had in his possession. He took off his jacket and pulled his legs to his chest. He couldn’t help but to stare at the knife with deep regret every time he pulled it out... After a while he had managed to prepare himself and started rolling up his pant leg, revealing a deeply scarred limb. He took a deep breath, and... Slice... A pained, but muffled scream was let out as blood began to run down the pale and wounded leg.

After he had cleaned up he decided not to go back to the building just yet, instead he just climbed into a tree and laid down.
