Riley pulled her close to him protectively a light growl playing on his lips over the guards shove Annika. "You ok?" He led her to a table to sit "Can I get you what you wanted to eat? They didn't hurt you right?" He looked her overly worriedly.

Isadora all but backed out of the room as the "mob" lowered down on Meddie. She thought to defend the girl but she clearly had no issue blwoing her off and she was more then able to defend herself. Isadora looked over at everyone fussing, the room seemed to calm as guards rushed in. Isadora mouthed she was going to her room to Dorian. She just didn't want to deal with all the drama that was now the rec room. She turned and smiled as the guard led her to the hall where the room were. "thanks" She said walking in to her cell like room.

The last few notes in the book had been the same. Fia hadn’t really gotten to write down any changes or anything, being mostly locked in her room. Thankfully, the rooms weren’t terribly cramped. However, if she had a roommate, she may as well have been in a never ending sequence of panic attacks.

There is a knock on the door before it opens. The knock is more of a courtesy than any request for permission here. It’s a long way from home and she
evidently lost any right to privacy awhile ago.

The orderly is a small, round woman. Fairly non-threatening sort. She comes in everyday.

“Do you remember your name? Where you are?”

“My name is Fia. I am in my room in a mental institution.”

She smiles and hands some pills. At this point, Fia can’t quite see the logic of when she receives them or what they do exactly. But she has lost track of time and that information was long forgotten. Memory was always a difficult point for her.

The woman speaks after she drinks down some water, following the pills, “The doctor says that it has been awhile since your last episode and you seem less stressed by the situation. You can be integrated into the general population. We can bring you to the rec room where you can begin meeting everyone. We just ask that you don’t be too alarmed by the people that you meet. But I believe that you were briefed on this and told to write it down.”

“I have everything control. I am as fine as I think I can be, considering the circumstances. And I know to ask personnel should I have any issues,” said
Fia as she just wanted to finally be able to leave the room.

“Ok. It sounds like a lot of people have talked to you already. The medication we gave you should make you feel more relaxed. So you don’t slip into another episode and we don’t lose all the progress that was made. I should ask though. Do you remember why you are here today? Or how you started forgetting?”

“No. And no.”

“Well, can’t get everything all at once. You know your name today. You kept forgetting that for awhile. Do you remember my name?”

“I remembered your face. The name escapes me. But I have always been bad with them.”

“Brenda Hardy.” Fia takes the time to write it down. She has already wrote it down before, but nothing wrong with doing it twice.

“Ms. Hardy. Ok. I will remember it tomorrow.”

“Sure you will. You keep making progress every day. So there maybe a few people in the rec room for you to introduce yourself to. Grab everything that you need to.”

Fia takes her pen, notebook, and jacket off the desk in the room. She then turns back to Ms. Hardy.

“Ready.”

Ms. Hardy leads her down the halls. There were always some odd noises when she walked down the hallway. She never had faces to the voices before though. Ordinarily, the appearances of these things may have provoked more of reaction, but she was feeling unusually calm. But that was the point of those pills.

“So many of the people have grown up around non-humans here. They may not understand that this is very new for you. Just keep calm. You probably shouldn’t look anyone directly in the eye. Some may take that as a challenge. And be nice. But don’t be a pushover and don’t believe everything that everyone tells you. Some people might be looking for a fight. Don’t give them one. But you will get use to this place after awhile.”

Ms. Hardy stops at the doors to the rec room.

“Ok. Just through these doors. If you have any problems, just find someone to help you.”

Fia opens the door and tries her best to blend in with surroundings and quickly realizes that she has no clue how to handle this entire situation.

She pens into her notebook a description of the rec room in the corner. And silently hopes that none of the other patients saw her just walk in.

Alkaline was glad that he had come and sat next to her. She smiled down at him warmly.
Her eyes stayed on the small boy, she could tell that he was uncomfortable and she wanted to calm him down some.
He'd said that he wasn't sure about one of the other inmates and she glanced towards whom he was speaking of. Of course, there was always something different about anyone that entered in through those doors. She should know, she had to go through their mind everyday.
Then as she was about to respond to him, she heard a new voice echo in her already buzzing brain. She arched a brow, and peered around the corner as if expecting to see the alien in plain sight. But from what she heard, he surely was not happy. She hadn't heard too many out of this world creatures, but they were always very interesting specimen. Especially this one. He could help very much if they intended to escape.
Her eyes slid back to Ali and she shook her head, as if trying to rid herself of her preious thoughts. "Well, I am a werewolf, so I have very good hearing as well as eyesight. But that would be lying if I told you that was how I knew. No, I can read all minds, you see....Even if I do not want to." They gave her a splitting headache.
She didn't want to frighten him, so she didn't explain all of the details of her powers. As she reminded herself of the inhuman things that she could do, she could feel her body being released of the chocking hold from all of the medicine in her system. She watched the griffon and called out to him, "Wait, maybe I could help you..." Since she could hear his plan of action, she was easily bribed to see if she could rise to the challenge.
Her mind listened to the alien and she was slightly on alarm. He sounded quite dangerous. She was curious about him, still.

Dorian had finished eating his food and had just wiped his lip and thrown away the remaining mess. He was about to walk out of the cafeteria when Isadora notified him that she was out of here. He tried to look cool about it, and nodded to her, giving her a half smile before heading back over to the rec room. Just as he was entering, he lightly bumped into Fia. He backed up, wildly alert and his eyes wide. His hands held up as to show that he wasn't a threat.
"Whoa, my bad." She stopped talking when she turned around and he smiled at her, tilting his head, slightly.
"Well, why hello there. I don't think I've seen you around. Name's Dorian." He held out a hand for her to shake in all politeness,

Peter left the creature wondering how he would go about finding the "little assistant" it mentioned. He did not even know what tailsman he needed to look for. But one thing he knew, was this creature was much more eloquent in human language than he was. He decided he would just take a "wait and see" approach to the matter. The researcher sighed in disappointment and prepare himself for an argument as he saw his rival marching towards the security room. But, this was no concern for Peter.

He thought about the creature's words again. "Vault.." he thought to himself. Well, that is a good start. Of course, it would be a secret vault. Considering that the creature's device would have it's scent, Peter decided to follow his nose and to look out for the person or creature, who was suppose to guide him. It bothered him that he had to do so much just to get out, he really had to be more wary of humans next time. As he walked about to find the familiar scent of the creature, he passed the rec room again.

"Wait, maybe I could help you..." The griffon turned to look at the werewolf covered with accessories then wondered for a second if accessories stay on during her transformation. While the werewolf seemed to be concern about something else, Peter who was blissful ignorant to the danger of the creature in the cell,bending his head lower. The camera on his collar zoomed in on the girl. Considering the situation with the security alarms and extreme reactions of the human whenever there was a escape attempt, Peter decided it was not the smartest idea to be straightforward about the plan as it seemed that the security was much tighter than he expected despite their freedom to roam about. Having no idea that the werewolf could read his thoughts, rather more visual ideas of his intentions, he introduced himself. "Listen to my bold name, I am Peter Hawk," he exclaimed shamelessly though sounding robotic more than anything else. He did not know how to communicate his ideas to the female werewolf without them being spied on and he did not know the devices installed in his collar. He wished she could tell him more about what was on his neck and if she knew of a vault. All these thoughts and planning really annoyed Peter a lot as he would rather just enjoy admiring his collection of sparkling knickknacks. The werewolf looked into his large olive eyes as if she had understand everything. Even when he felt that his claws still need to be sharpened for that perfect dangerous look.

Just then, a female phoenix entered, it sort of bothered Peter that it would take on a human form. It was writing in a notebook and was taking on a personality of being a human very well unlike the others in the room. Peter chortled unkindly.
