Cyrus
"I don't think I would be a good leader," answered Cyrus to Jake. "But I do have opinions that I want heard. I guess it's kind of like...having a vote, you know? I don't want to see any more dead bodies either." He thought about the death of the boy behind him, and he fought the urge to shudder.
Suddenly, the same dead voice from before came over the loudspeaker. "Please congregate around television sets. We will be announcing the test results from this morning in a moment.
Cyrus stood, fighting the urge to look worried. He wasn't sure what the criteria for the grading was, but he sure as hell hadn't killed any spiders. But he had used his powers an awful lot, and they had proven to be useful. That ought to mean something, right?
"I guess we should find a television set," said Cyrus with a grimace.
Briar
Briar nodded along to Sarah's idea. As he left the room, he found himself face to face with the kid from earlier. That fancy Metsu kid who thought he was so cool, but really...he was not. That kid had definitely been eavesdropping! And then he just went and ignored Briar like Briar was dirt under his feet or something. Briar turned to yell something at the kid, but the intercomm interrupted him.
Briar headed to a nearby lounge, making sure to 'accidentally' push the annoying Metsu kid along the way.
