Snippet #2437813

The morning sun begins to rise across the distant landscape as its rays beamed down through the transparent dome of EDEN 3. Within the High Grounds district, a man in black shades made his way into a dorm building. Wearing a black suit, anyone could tell that he worked for the settlement's military. Some rumors had spread through the dorm of a few new specially trained students having recently been brought into the divisions. So it was no wonder that a few trainees were sneaking glances at the man, wondering if he was here to see one of the new recruits. After speaking with the person behind the counter at the main lobby, the black dressed man made his way upstairs to the third floor. A few trainees watched as he made his way to a room, knocking on the door loudly.

No reply. He knocked again as he called out.

"Sikes Keller! Open up right now!"

His stern voice even making a few of the trainees watching back away to their businesses. But still no reply came from within the room. Adjusting his shades, he let out a sigh as he lifted his leg. In a swift hard kick to the door, he slams it open, damaging it's hinges a bit as it slammed in.

"Your starting out as a trainee, the least you can do is-"

As he stepped into the room, he was greeted by a messy, but empty room. Releasing yet another deep sigh, he rubs his fingers between his eyes.

"Why did I get assigned with fetching him out of the three?"
--------------------------
Just outside of the dorm, sleeping soundly in one of the trees on a branch, a young man with grey hair snored soundly. His hands behind his head as he rested hidden within the tree's leaves. All that came to a crashing end as the tree shook violently from a powerful impact.

"Earthquake!" He yelled as he was suddenly jolted awake, violently shaken and losing his balance. With a loud crash, the young man fell of the branch and to the ground below.

"I had a feeling you'd be here."

Sikes grunts as he looks up from the ground, seeing the rather familiar shaded face looking at him upside down.

"Haven't your mother taught you how to wake someone up WITHOUT giving them a heart attack?" Sikes grumbled at the shaded man as he sorely got off the ground, cracking his back a bit.

"We have been sent gather the three of you and bring you into your new divisions. Since your obviously already dressed, I suggest we get going." The shaded man seriously reply with little to no reaction to the young man's comment.

"No I remember why I hated having you Shades watching us. It's like having a bland statue following one around." He annoyingly glares at the shaded man, receiving little to no response in his expression. Easy to know a waste of time when he sees one, Sikes stretched his arms up into the air. "Alright let's get going before I die of whatever bored sickness you weirdos have."

"Very well, the other two are being fetched as we speak. We'll meet them at the base entrance." The black dressed man replies, quick to get things on the way as he leads Sikes along.

"Here's hoping to some more lively people in the actual divisions." the young man mutters under his breath as he grouchily follows the shaded man.
