[quote=@PatientBean] [color=darkgray] She followed along with the group inside. She took special care in noting weaknesses in the facility; guards not being alert, walls that looked like they could be plowed through, makeshift weapons if it came to that. Soon they were in the rec room and were introduced to the others within the facility. Their makeshift tour guide droned on, but Brooklyn couldn't be bothered to care all that much. Instead, she glanced at the others, sizing them up. As her head turned, she felt a shadow over her. She turned back to see a mountain of a man standing there, staring at her. He was cute in a "golden retriever" type of way, though she got the sense there was nothing behind those eyes. And her thoughts were confirmed when he just. continued. to. stare! [color=8F2A2A]"Keep starin' at me and I'll rip your arms off and play jump rope with 'em."[/color] The nerve of this dude! [color=8F2A2A]"Anyone going to claim their lost lamb here?"[/color] Perhaps he was lost from a tour group and got separated from his mommy. Either way, she had little time to be hand-holding anyone here. [color=8F2A2A]"What happened to hello? How are you? My name is? What just cuz you're locked up you get to be rude? I'm not the broad to try that with."[/color] [/color] [/quote] [hr] [quote=@Wei Wuxian] Libby, her name was Libby and she'd escaped several times from other facilities until she landed on Alcatraz. To be frank it would be near impossible for any to escape this place without an ability that allowed flight or water breathing. An isolated island definitely allowed for more complex plans of escape, but no matter how you went about it, the results would be the same. One could attempt to swim, but it wouldn't take long for them to be captured and brought back. Escaping from an island would require something more exciting. While he glanced over at Libby, he listened to the girl talk about Billy and it all began to make sense as to why he'd been staring at a few of them the moment they'd stepped foot into the room. What he wouldn't give to pluck the inner chambers of his mind to see what made him tick. When the small one finished talking, Seo levitated over to Libby and gazed out of the window next to her. [color=DE3163]"Do you feel like a pet trapped in its cage? Or do you feel like there is purpose here after all?"[/color] Seo said, wondering just what this girl could do. [color=DE3163]"Forgive my lack of manners, my name is Seobin. I hear you like to escape and I was curious as to why."[/color] [/quote] [hr] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/TYxxRJnQ/Header-1.webp[/img][/center] [color=darkgray]The fast talking New Yorker hit him with a staccato of questions, each more confronting than the previous. But it took him a while before he felt comfortable giving a response that he was pretty sure would make sense. It was so very easy for him to say things that didn't make any sense. Billy had often pointed this out to him.[/color] [color=palevioletred]"I was just waiting for the opportunity to say 'Hello'."[/color] [color=darkgray]He said, speaking softly.[/color] [color=palevioletred]"Sometimes, I've-- I get told sometimes that when I speak from behind people, before they notice me. It makes them uncomfortable. Or scares them. At least you-- don't seem to scare so easily."[/color] [color=darkgray]He stood there trying to think of something else to say. Oh! A thought came over him. What brought him over in the first place![/color] [color=palevioletred]"I like your jacket. It's cool."[/color] [color=darkgray]He said, referring to her black leather jacket.[/color] [color=palevioletred]"It...--"[/color] [color=darkgray]He struggled looking for the word. It made everything else about her -her ruby red lipstick, the blonde hair - stand out in contrast, even brighter.[/color] [color=palevioletred]"It pops."[/color] [color=darkgray]His brow furrowed, as if trying to think about how well the word fit.[/color] [color=palevioletred]"Uhh... I guess, 'How are you?' My name is Brian, if that interests you at all. Just-- just wanted to say about your jacket. It's cool. I didn't wanna seem rude."[/color] [hr] Libby didn't turn, she just kept looking out over the Bay. A wide brimmed hat kept the sun's glare from the window out of her eyes. The black croptop she wore showed off a large tattoo of a compass between her shoulder blades. [color=cadetblue]"The minutes. The hours. Being free, it's just-- it's a feeling all of its own."[/color] She spoke absently, almost as if she was a hundred miles away and merely reminiscing for her own benefit. [color=cadetblue]"The last time I was out, I snuck into Oracle Park. Sneaking in is just an escape into a box. Sat on those right field bleachers over the archways in front of McCovey Cove. Watched Joc Pederson splash hit one over my head against the Phillies. They had me on TV. I knew I wouldn't get far after that. When Aegis picked me up, they did it as I sat in the Old-Fashioned Glove over on left field waiting for them..."[/color] She turned and faced Seobin and offered a smile, as if the explanation wouldn't be enough of its own. [color=cadetblue]"It's not-- It's not anything like that. Or anything bad about here in the first place per se... It's just something in me. It's something I have to do."[/color]
