[b][u]The Hospital:[/b][/u]

Lesley was sobbing over his new hair color while Inadi was up and about.

Harper laughed a little, though he did feel sorry for the now black-haired Lesley. "It's good to see you're alright, that doctor had me worried for a second." The boy let out a nervous laugh then turned to face both Est and Breeze. "Did he um, almost turn you into a girl?" The boy scrunched up his nose. "How did it feel?" It must have been awkward and had that happened to him, he probably would have fainted. Harper made a mental note to never get injured in the city of Cogs and Gears.

Turning to face the sobbing Lesley, he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Est is right, think of it as a new image of sorts." He let out a soft chuckle then noticed the doctor was once again making his way down the hall. 

He had the most gigantic smile ever plastered to his face. "Oh boy! My superiors are stoked to hear about this. Once again, thank you!" He pushed a giant lollipop into Inadi's hands then gave one to Lesley as some sort of feel better present. "Breeze, Est, thanks for bringing over this test sub...erm, this human. It's actually an amazing find! We never get to work on humans, ever, so this is just great! I'll be heading to the OR soon, someone got a cog stuck in his eye socket." The doctor made a face then walked off. "Don't go getting injured now, okay?" And with that he was waving goodbye and charging down the hall.

Talk of paintball filled the halls and after a few moments they left for their next destination.

[b][u]Paintball Field:[/b][/u]

It was a giant dome that stretched over an entire forest. Inside were dilapidated houses and sandbags were scattered across the field. In the far side of sector one there was a giant helicopter, sprawled out across the ground. 

"This looks...intense." Harper eyed the map that had been posted near the entrance. The entire field was gigantic.

"Who goes there! Ah, pvt. Berit." They'd remember him anywhere. The soldier by the gate gulped before his eyes flitted towards Breeze. He had played a round against Est in the past, and let me tell you, it did not end well for him. "Are you new cadets?"

Harper shook his head.

"But you're here to play paintball?" Harper nodded and when he did, the soldier eyed them strangely. "May celery save your souls..." He turned to face Pvt. Berit and Breeze. "Good to see you again, just head inside you know the drill." He nodded at the humans. "The Pvt. will fill you in."

Harper stood by Lesley. "Mind if I join your team?" He gave Inadi a grin, "we're not going to lose as easily." He turned to Leila with a smile. "Leila, would you like to join us?" He wondered if the guides were going to play too.

The soldier ushered them inside then turned to Est and Breeze. "Are you seriously going to slaughter these poor people?" He looked amused as he stared at the humans. They were like sheep being led to some kind of slaughter and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them. He clapped a hand on Breeze's shoulder and shook his head, he was laughing though, obviously amused. "Look after them, okay? Make sure no one goes blind..." Turning to the humans, he pointed to the equipment laid out on a table. "Okay, get suited up then head to the field," to the guides, "same goes for you two."
