Introduction
Yes, one of your great-grandparents was made in a lab.
Female eyes might look a little something like this.
Male eyes may look like this.
This is the Multichrome Village. It resembles a resort for a reason. There are bedrooms, swimming pools, and restaurants. Roam about as you wish. The people here want to help you forget your harsh past and grow up to be a responsible, happy adult. This is the government's way of apologizing to the Multichromatic community for the Trials.
This is your Multichrome medication. It keeps your heart working right and maintains your eye and blood color. It's toxic to normal humans. One pill must be taken with water every twelve hours. Do not overdose, you will die. If you fail to take your medication, you will eventually start to feel lightheaded or dizzy. You may fall into a coma. You may even lose your life.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 8 authors
Whelp. He certainly wasn't getting back to sleep tonight.
This happened all too often, nearly every night. These nightmares haunted Andy to no end. Nightmares of the Multichrome trials, his back-breaking forging job from which he was never paid, the sinister faces of his owners. And then there were always his parents. He missed them so much. They had probably been the best parents anybody could ask for. They were just gone all of a sudden.
Of course, this all happened three years ago. When Andy's parents were killed, it hadn't felt real. Sure, he had caught a glimpse of them, but he was quickly taken away. The death of his parents never fully sunk in. He kept feeling like he'd come back from captivity and they'd be there to welcome him home. But when it finally happened, they weren't.
Instead of attempting to find sleep again, Andy turned on the light and pulled out his laptop, continuing his term paper for school. Might as well. Besides, he found history interesting. He often absorbed himself into reading about all the failed societies that had been and which groups of people were mistreated for what reasons. And then he would contemplate that no group of people was ever mistreated for a legitimate reason. Just like his people, the Multichromes. They were mistreated constantly, even post-Trials. If they took one step outside the gated Multichrome Village, they'd be risking their lives.
But on the outside, school awaited. Life awaited. They couldn't stay here forever. So a difference needed to be made. Andy felt as if that was his job. All he needed was for some people to back him up, Multichrome or no.
Markus was too restless for sleep. After all the trials he refused to close his eyes when he is alone. His headphones were in his ears and he was blasting loud while looking out his bedroom window. It was completely empty and peaceful. It made him nervous. He was always worried that he would be put back in the hands of scientist. That people would start to hate them again. Realize that they were still different. Markus still carried scars from the trials. He couldn't get rid of them.
For a brief moment he took out his ear buds to check to see if he could hear his sister next door. He heard movement and rummaging so he knew she was okay. Markus put his ear buds back in and indulged himself in a textbook that needed to be read for class the next day. History wasn't his favorite or best subject, but if he didn't read than he would fail. And it was better than doing nothing.
Madeline
Madeline was going through her closet and things to find an outfit for the next day. Her brother woke her up when he accidentally blasted music from his radio. She was used to it, but not while she was in deep sleep. Now she couldn't sleep and Markus was going to face the consequences when she left her room. Doing anything now would be pointless since he couldn't even here her. After picking something out she sat down on her bed and thought about the days when things were normal.
Her mother would cook them dinner while her father would spend all day at work just to come home and spend it with his lovely kids. It is hard to believe that the perfect parents would give up their kids. It was devastating and it changed them both. Now Madeline doesn't know if she would ever be normal. She doesn't make physical contact with anyone. Her dream is to live a normal life, but she can't even be normal. All of it was her parents fault and she was going to have to go to school tomorrow with everyone else and pretend to be normal. Sometimes she thinks her brother is right. There is nothing for the Multichromes, but she puts a smile on her face and moves on and prays everyday her dream will come true.
The setting changes from Central USA to Multichrome Village
A project for the Software Development course she had been taking for the sake of alleviating boredom. She found herself getting quite skilled at it, and 'enjoying' it. As much as Camilla could enjoy anything, anyway.
“Fuuuuuuck.”
The girl growled under another barrage of yawns, a charming word to greet this sunny morning. Limping like one of those Hollywood zombies, restless eyes tried their hardest to coordinate Camilla to the bathroom. The girl seemingly effected by the lack of a proper eight hour sleep, stepped into the shower, turning the knobs as the shower head sprinkled a wave of transparent liquid on the girl's face. First cold, then, gently growing in heat.
After going through the usual routine of washing, drying and 'looking presentable', Camilla hurried to her wardrobe, pale fingers gently sliding across perfectly aligned matches of clothes that the girl thought fit well together in the whole picture. Nodding, Camilla tugged out a pair of navy blue jeans, a black tee-shirt with some random print and a broken white sweater. After that brief hassle, the girl ran through her usual accessories, gloves, earrings, and what have you. Goggles?
Well, that was pretty much a staple of Camilla, wasn't it? Plain metallic goggles with neon-green glasses that were partially obscured with a black, cheery skull print. Not practical in the least, but a fun little accessory. Or so the red-haired girl thought.
Glancing at the mirror to assure every strand of crimson-red hair was combed until no curl was left to spot, Camilla approached her laptop, hastily pressing the Ctrl and S button simultaneously to save her work-in-progress application and then unplugging the device from the sole outlet in the room before tossing it in its respective bag that was now slung across Camilla's torso.
Deciding that the best route to take for the morning was to head downstairs and probably just crash the poolside or something. Not that was anything or anyone to crash, considering it was still early as all fuck.
And, lo and behold! It bloody was. Well, perfect, that meant less prying eyes of people curiously glaring at what you're doing.
Seating herself at one of the end row of plastic table and chair sets that surrounded the terrace area of the pool, Camilla, again, opened her laptop for some project progress. Though, not before flipping a cigarette out of its package that the girl always carried in one of the pockets on her sweater – If there were any – and lighting it as the butt rested on her lower lip. Exhaling the first cloud of smoke, Camilla resumed her project, typing line after line undisturbed.
The setting changes from Multichrome Village to Central USA
Colette walked into the living room, spotting her backpack. She unzipped it and pulled out a textbook. She couldn't remember if she had anything due but why not read a textbook? And besides, Collie had some time to blow. Collie walked over to the couch and sat down, flipping the textbook to a random page. Collie read the title of the unit. "Well then... This should be interesting..." Collie said, trying to amuse herself. She started to read. Minutes later she was bored... She didn't even pay attention to what she read and it was too boring to re read. Collie glanced at the clock. It seemed like life was in slow motion because time was barely passing.
It was then that Abigail glanced up from the text before her, and saw the time on the clock she kept on her wall. It was later than she had anticipated, but thankfully not so late that she didn't have time to get ready for school. It was however, late enough that she'd have to forgo the short amount of sleep she'd planned on catching.
Dismissing this as a direct result of her own actions that could not be changed now, an assessment that was actually fairly accurate for once, Abby began preparing for the coming schoolday. Quickly, she showered, threw on her clothes and jacket, grabbed her school supplies, and left the room, taking care to lock the door behind her. Because she left early, Abigail arrived at the school early. In fact, she was the first person there that she could see, not counting a few teachers. Seeing this as an opportunity to review the material they'd be studying today once more, she took her seat and retrieved her history book.
When her body was warm, she walked over to her closet, and began to look for a suitable outfit. She finally decided on something casual, a button down shirt, some jeans and sneakers. She tamed that tangled mess of wet hair that sat upon her head. Running her ringers through her hair, she blow-dried it quickly. Grabbing her iPod and wallet, she shoved them into a purple backpack, which held all of her books, and walked out of her room, locking the door behind her.
Lilliana was rather hungry, so she headed for the dinner. When she entered, Lilliana took a seat, and got a bagel and some milk. She could absolutely, in no possible way, have coffee. Caffeine to her is like giving a three year old soda. She'll be bouncing off the walls for hours. When her food was given to her, she ate it graciously.
"Fucking trials."
Katheryn picks up a knife from her table and throws it at the picture of one of her trial tormentors on her door. Bullseye. Kathy pulls on a black t-shirt and pants and snaps on her choker. She walks to the bathroom, dragging her face down to look like some demented freak. As she reaches it she tugs at her ebony black hair and lazily puts on eyeshadow to cover her rainbowness and puts in black contacts to compliment her black lipstick, black eyeshadow, black- everything. She grabs her skeleton bag and slings it over her shoulder, throwing a knife over her shoulder at her bedroom door. Bullseye.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Kathy walks down her stairs toward the pool, she sees a pale girl with crimson hair and a white hoodie smoking and doing homework. Haha, she thought, she looks like a girlier version of me when I was thirteen. She's definitely fatter though. As Kathy walked by her she tossed her an extra pack of cigarettes that land on the middle of the girl's keyboard.
"Enjoy it before the monsters get yah." Kathy walks out of the gate and plops down at the bus stop that goes to Blue Sabbath, a venue that is hosting her favorite punk band today. She doesn't even look across the street, where the school is. She just keeps her head down and her profile low, as always.
On her keyboard now lay a pack of cigarettes. Yeah, because she so obviously had a dire need for more cancer-filled sticks, hadn't she?
Opening her eyes as the seemingly false danger had passed – Though not really having begun in the first place – The redhead glanced at a passing girl, clothed in all black; The ever so familiar appearance of prententious troubled teen girls.
Hell, she looked even worse than Camilla over here, and that probably said a lot! How much black could someone be wearing anyway? Shadows ain't hiding you from life, dear. And, if you dress like that to give the world the finger, here's a newsflash; It works just fine without all that emo-esque make-up. Camilla was living proof of that!
The older girl didn't regcognize her in the least. Likely, since she gave less than zero fucks about who was who and all that jazz. Then again, she could be a fellow Multichrome – Which wasn't too uncommon since the entire fucking village was filled with 'em.
Oh great! Another annoyance just popped up in her mind. That god awful village they lived in, like they were some poor wounded animal that needed to be contained within the safety of invisible walls. Thanks for the reminder that they were still treated differently.
Aaand- She was distracted from what she was doing in the first place.
“Enjoy it before the monsters get yah.”
Oh yeah, probably thank that girl for her random act of pretentious kindness.
Camilla hastily shrugged her head as the emo girl passed by – Though it easily could've been read as a 'What the fuck do you want?' kind of nod – and muttering a sarcastic 'Thanks.' whilst rolling her eyes, before staring the girl down until she had disappeared behind the first corner outside of the Multichrome Asylum.
“You're lucky that your 'gift' didn't mess up my project.” Camilla growled, exhaling another puff of white smoke from her mouth. Anyway, the girl passing by did remind the redhead of one thing; Breakfast. Probably best to get some before heading off to her university.
Quickly packing her laptop and smoking the last inches from her cigarette, shriveling the remaining butt under her black sneakers, Camilla went back inside, instinctively following her nose to the dining room, slash cafeteria.
Ordering a quick vegetarian meal – Yeah she's a vegetarian, get over it. – that consisted of a a healthy sandwich and a coffee, Camilla seated herself near one of the large windows that looked out on the pool.
Markus finally strolled out of bed and into the shower before Madeline beat him to it. She likes to take forever in the shower leaving him with cold water. He quickly locked the door and heard her bang on it for a couple of minutes and then storm away angrily. He didn't have time to deal with her attitiude this morning, but what could he do.
The shower was hot and he seemed to massage his skin as he washed his body. He ran his hands through his wet hair and then he stood under the hot water for a little while longer. He dreaded his school. He was away from his sister and he couldn't take that. He tried texting her throughout class, but she stopped texting him back. She was clearly getting annoyed with him. But how else was he supposed to make sure she was okay. He let out a sigh and turned off the water and wrapped a towel around himself. He looked in the mirror and frowned. He could see the scars from when he was in the trials. They were ugly.
He walked out of the bathroom into his room. He didn't want to look in the mirror anymore. They were just reminders. "You can have the bathroom." He shut his bedroom door and blasted music from his ipod. He couldn't handle the silence. He picked out a simple t-shirt and some dark blue jeans to wear. He logged off his laptop and put it in his backpack. He put the text under his bed and he grabbed his ipod. He walked to the kitchen and could hear the water running meaning his sister was in the shower. They had some time kill before class, but he wasn't one to be late.
Madeline
Madeline had picked out her clothes for the school day ahead and she was about to go an shower, but Markus had beat her to it. She heard the click of the lock and she banged on the bathroom door and went back to her bedroom. She sat down on her bed and looked at her laptop that was open and on. It was a picture of their parents. She stilled missed them and cared about her even if they gave her away. She didn't deserve that, but she quickly got over it. Madeline has been trying to find her parents, but it has been hopeless when Markus confines her within these walls. The shower was off and Maddie stood up. "You can have the bathroom."
The door to his room shut and music blasted. Madeline just shook her headn and waltzed into the bathroom. It was full of steam from his shower and it was comforting. She turned on the water yet again to a lower heat. She can't take the high heat pains like her brother can. She stepped into the shower and allowed the water to soothed her mind. She allowed the water to massage her head as the water ran through her hair. After bathing she turned off the water and stepped out wrapping a towel around herself. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She ignored the ugly scar on her shoulder and continued on her merry way.
She went back into her bedroom, dried off, and put on the clothes that set out for herself. She dried hair and ran a brush through it. She pushed up her hipster glasses and laughed. She thought she looked ridiculous, but she grabbed her backpack and left the room. Markus was already in the kitchen making them breakfast. She grabbed an apple and ate the eggs he set out for her and then walked towards the front door. "Let's go Markus." She said walking out of the house.
The setting changes from Central USA to Multichrome Village
Andy left his room and made his way down to the central pool area. From there he went to the cafe and grabbed a banana and a cup of coffee. Usually if he ate anything for breakfast, it would be along those lines. He nodded hello to a redhead girl he knew as Camilla. He didn't know her well, since neither of them had been here in the village long. But they both went to the university and he didn't have a personal problem with her so far. He knew enough about her don't-care attitude, which he supposed some Multichromes needed to move past their dark histories. Andy didn't exactly have the same mentality, but he understood.
Besides wanting to make friends, Andy wanted to create a sort of alliance. If he was going to get anywhere in this world with his plans of uniting the normals and the Multichromes, he couldn't do it alone. He needed the ideas and creativity of others. He wanted to find some open-minded normal kids at the university to help create that alliance.
Andy didn't want to live in the shadow of the normal humans anymore, especially since the Trials were over with, and he knew that the other Multichromes didn't either. But a lot of them weren't willing to try and cooperate with the normals. Convincing his kind to do just that would be, in Andy's opinion, the toughest part of it all.
After grabbing something quick for breakfast, Luke put the assignment in his satchel and headed out the door. However, he decided to check the mail before doing anything else just in case... yep, his dad had sent another letter all the way from scenic [CLASSIFIED]. There wasn't much time for reading it right now, so he put it in the satchel for later. He'd read it during lunch. There would be time then, hopefully. He set off for the university at the kind of pace adopted by those who know that they're going to be late even if they did try running the whole way, so why bother running?
