Ruby watched child after child enter the room, some splitting off into other directions. She watched as one boy, looking lonely like she was feeling, broke off and went to his own room in the back away from everyone. She tilted her head, unsure how to label him in her mind. She was no good with people but this one caught her attention. She was too ignorant to listen to her thoughts but in the back of her head, the boy reminded her of herself, alone, quiet, and definatly not insane...not that she could tell.

She followed into the white room. He was sitting with his head rested on his knees. He wore a black T-shirt and jeans and a hat. She walked in, tilting her head at him as if watching through a cloud in front of her eyes. She spotted another girl in the room as well without shoes.

"Hello..."Then when her mind thought it, she pointed it out. "You are crying." She said to the boy. She tilted her head to the other side at the girl. "Who are you?" Her voice chimedd dazily, sounding like she was half in a dream.

Evalin continued to watch Billy in silence for some time, at one point he had almost looked as though he was about to nod- but then nothing.
Eventually, Evalin sighed, reached under her bed and pulled out a large sketchbook, before leaning back against the wall, and beginning to draw him, his confused, torn expression, his paranoid eyes, his floppy hair, his protected yet vunerable posture...

"I can talk a lot if I feel like it" John stated simply. His body spasmed involuntarily as Rosseane shouted at her mother. He hated yelling and loud noises in general, especially when he wasn't expecting them. It made him very twitchy. This girl seemed to have severe mood swings or something. She definitely wouldn't do well in the army, though it could be quite interesting to see her interactions with officers. Closing his eyes, John stopped his body from shaking. Opening them, he sat up straight and alert. He didn't say anything.

damn it kid, you are making it hard to work here. Jon thought as Riku once again popped his preverbial bubble and got very hands-on. He was a classic case of paranoia; irrational fears, jumpy, incoherent.. the only thing that didn't really fit was he had no explanations. In Jon's case studies he had always had patients who were true conspiracy theorists, Jon was frequently surprised they didn't have locks on their orange juice, like in the movie.
"Ok, we'll figure out the who thing later," Jon muttered to himself, although the sheer closeness of Riku made it hard to truly speak to himself. "Riku, When you walked in this building, you may not have noticed, but you went through a security check. There are high walls around this facility, and a barb wire fence on top of that. Security cameras, everywhere. And after all of that," Jon said wryly, "They'd have to get through me. Which is a heft yfeat at least." Jonathan neglected to mention that all of those security features were more to keep the patients in than to keep people out; even the most angsty teenager would just go climb a watertower. He looked behind him briefly to see Summer and Lee witnessing his handiwork, which he found to be a little unnerving. What one patient needed to see or hear was lmost never the same for another.

Kyo stopped crying when he heard a voice and noticed the girl next to him, drawing on the floor with her finger. He lifted his head, wiped away his tears and opened his mouth to say something, but shut it again as he noticed the other girl, who seemed to have been the one speaking, standing at the door looking at him. He looked at her for a moment and put his feet on the floor, but still didn't say anything. What was she thinking? He looked at both of them, feeling awkward as he had just been crying and probably looked like some sort of emo to them, and decided to wait for something else to happen.

Adalay looked up as the boy stood. He seemed a little awkward she smiled up at him slightly,"Hello. What's your name?" She asked him.Standing up and brushing herself off, she was short she'd always known that but she barley came up to this boy's shoulder so that would make him...around 5ft 11in she worked it out in her head. She waved slightly to the other girl in the doorway,"Hello..."She furrowed her eyebrows she knew most peoples names here but she couldn't place this girl,"Are you new?"

Kyo looked back at the girl next to him who, he had just realized, was wearing no shoes. That wasn't particularly weird. Some people do that a lot. He realized he was staring her in the eyes and looked away. She seemed kinda cheery for a girl who was stuck in this same dump that he's in. A weird thought went through Kyo's head of what she might be thinking but he blocked it out and decided to answer her question, "Tell me your name first."

Adalay looked at the boy,"My names Adalay...well it is most of the time. I'm here because I've got multiple personalities and stuff...it's weird...anyway that's not important." She bit her lip, she hated it when she started to babble like that, she shook her head and looked back at him,"You have to tell me your name now." She relised she must seem oddly cheerful to these new comers but they hadn't been here long enough to understand why yet.

Ruby took a few strides closer, graceful on dreamlike feet as she tilted her head to the opposite side.She wanted to ask to see who her other half was. It very much interested her and she felt curiosity prick at her to force it out of the girl but kept her cool. "I am new." She said softly.

She stayed standing while she spoke to them. eyes glancing strangely from side to side like she couldn't decide what to focus on and everything around her was so interesting.

Kyo noticed how strangely quiet the other girl was being, admittedly, kinda like himself. He looked back at Adalay and answered, "My name's Kyo... Itsumi..." he trailed off into deep thought and turned his attention back to the other girl in the room. "And your name?"

She focused her eyes on him. "Ruby." She said in her wind chime voice. She strode closer. "How silly." She said. "You do not look insane." Her eyes went back to examining the empty air around them. She sat down. legs bent strangely underneath her in a tangled cross legged style. It was more or less a yoga pose than a way of sitting but it was comfortable to her.

Adalay looked at the two other teenagers,"Nice to meet you both." She looked down at her feet, relising they were getting cold. She sat down, letting the warm fabric of her dress fall over her feet to keep them warm. Sitting made her feel even small but she didn't mind. She was suprised they'd all managed to stay here for as long as they had with out a carer coming to check on them and herd them back into the main room.

Kyo realized that Ruby was right. He didn't look or feel insane, but he knew why he was here. Ruby and Adalay didn't seem that dangerous and were quite friendly towards Kyo, but his instinct kicked in and he backed away a little to keep his distance. He wondered why this hadn't already kicked in. Maybe because he had been sort of surprized anybody was being nice to him. He leaned on the wall behind him and watched them with care to find out weather there was anything suspicious about them. He noticed one thing. Ruby was pale and almost ghost-like...

Ruby watched as Kyo slid away from them and turned her eyes to him quickly like he had startled her by doing so. When his eyes looked over her like she was dangerous she allowed the corner of her lips to tilt a little. She didn't like it when people thought bad things about her. In any normal case, she would already be planning out an accident to kill him. Perhaps falling down the stairs or getting caught in the ventilation system. But he really didn't bug her. He just made her curious.

The girl she could deal with. She wasn't insane, not that Ruby had seen yet at least. She would deal with them both.

"You are strange." She told them both. "But you are not ill." She ran her fingers over a line in the floor interestedly. "Why are you forced here?"

((sorry i haven't replied i a while ))

Evalin's eyes flickered to Billy's face, his expression had changed, he was aware of her drawing him now.
"You don't want me to?" She asked increduously, her eyes wide with puzzlement.

Summer sighed in relief. She turned to walk away, but noticed Lee's lips moving silently. Saying something to her, maybe? Or to himself? She paused to try and make sense of whatever he was saying, but soon realised he wasn't saying. He was counting. O..kay..

Summer sensed that, for whatever reason, Lee wasn't going to move. So she stayed standing next to him, and waited. "So.. Back to the living room, or..?" she asked, feeling somewhat awkward. She began to shift her weight from one foot to the other in a somewhat nervous fashion; she needed to get away from the continuous commotion behind them.

((OOC: Sorry, my vocab once again went down the drain ))

Evalin's mouth spread into a warm smile, lighting up her pretty face.
"Good," She said, her eyes shining as she continued to draw Billy.
Only a few minutes passed and Evalin was soon finished, she blew lightly on the paper, her rose lips pouting as she did so, trying to rid the paper of any excess pencil.
Evalin handed the drawing to Billy to look at witha smile.
