In The Ravens Nest

Ok guys, so, I'm still super jazzed about this RP. I will NOT let it die. Therefore, let's get the ball rolling here! This RP has SOOOO much potential to be amazing, and I can't ignore the silence any longer.

@Kokia, where you at buddy? If you don't want to play here anymore, could you at least let us know so we can move on?

@Amy, wanna toss up a first day kinda post? That might inspire some activity from the others as well.

@Makenna, if you're still here, job well done, mate. Thanks for sticking around.

@Ever, I completely agree. I'll bet there's a mandate that the two of them have to sit next to each other so their temperatures cancel each other out the ambient room temperature remains mostly stable. XP

As for the heart-warming gooey stuff, @Amy and @Ever, we'll just have to see. Kayden doesn't believe that love, of any kind, exists. He's never really known true friendship or romantic love before because he's spent his whole life experiencing nothing but aloofness, fear, or hatred from the Institute's workers during his brief interactions with them. Whatever love he might have experienced vanished from his life the day he first used his powers. There has never been anything even close to love in his life for twelve years, only physical pain, and the disdain directed at him by the RIST workers. The only thing that's come remotely close, is the respect he receives from the Doctor character, but even then, that's more of a begrudging admiration than anything. To the Doctor, Kayden is a particularly interesting and powerful experiment. Unless something huge happens to change that dynamic, all Kayden will ever feel from the Doctor character is respect. He will never trust, or even like the Doctor character. After all, that person is responsible for Kayden's imprisonment in the first place. The best Kayden could ever do for that person, outside of a life-changing, world-shaking event, would be the feeling one might have with a rival. Kayden would respect, and begrudgingly admire, the Doctor character's proficiency in keeping him locked up within the RIST, but only in the same way as one would amire the skill of a worthy opponent. There is respect, but there is also hatred. There can be no love or friendship there unless the Doctor character does something BIG for Kayden. Coming to terms with what Kayden is feeling for the other Subjects, on the other hand, will be really weird and hard for Kayden, even if trust and mutual friendship is all that comes of it. It will take him a while, if it ever even happens, for Kayden to believe that he is capable, and worthy, of loving someone else and feeling loved in return.

All that being said, let's get this thing rolling again! Should be fun, eh?
