@Duthguy Maniaclesmobile I like it
@Expendable "Come on, that's nonsense!" Ruth sat on the bed with the slash "Though I wonder what these 'severe consequences' are. Voiding the contract is only mentioned once."

Ruth skimmed the rules again.

"It says we can go to the lounge, the lobby, and the dining area. I'm going to go look around." Ruth said, trying to remain upbeat.

@Duthguy@rush99999

"I'm in." Evan said, as he folded up the paper and put it in his pocket.

Both the men's dorms and the women's dorms were hallways at the opposite side of the building. In between was a lobby with hardwood floors darkened with time and neglect, which creaked no matter where you stepped. Both cobwebs and spider webs could be found in corners high and low. The central heater, a newer addition than the flooring but older than the rotary phone sitting on the desk, gasped loudly from the vents. There was a front desk which lay empty, and a couple ripped, mildewy old couches. A stone fire place sat in one corner. There was a hallway, which Evan assumed lead to the dining area, and a door with a window through which Evan spotted a ping pong table. As abandoned as the place looked like it should be, the place was bustling with students. Despite how few students there were, the dorm building was small enough to be congested. Evan did his best not to bump into anyone.
@Expendable Ruth paused, looked at the bunk bed, then back at Mags.

"Uh, I think it's pretty heavily implied the beds are being provided. Like...if it's our dorm room, sleeping on the beds is a given."

She walked over to the bed that looked like it had been slashed.

"We should make sure to lock the door though."
"Hi Mags, I'm Ruth." Ruth said to Mags, offering a handshake "I don't think the bunk beds are assigned. I could be wrong. Let see" She looked at the paper listing what room she goes to and with whom. She flipped it over, and there were rules listed on the back.

1. You will be provided necessities for both your studies and basic living. Do not touch, tamper with, or take anything that is not provided to you. Theft will violate your contract and will come with severe consequences.

2. Please attend all classes and activities you are instructed to by your Director (Dr. Clementine) or their Assistant Director (L.T. Graham.) Failure to adequately participate in the program is a violation of your contract.

3. You will be instructed to participate in classes involving controlled sparring. Any act of violence against either the instructors, Maniacles personnel, or fellow subjects is a violation against your contract and will warrant severe consequences. If you are unable to participate in sparring classes for an acceptable reason, accomodations may be granted.

4. Due to the size and limited capacity of the dorm building, men and women are separated to opposite side of the building. Please do not go to the dorm area intended for the opposite sex. You may interact in the lobby, lounge, and dining areas on the ground floor of the dorms.

5. Please maintain a clean dorm room. Wood can warp or rot if left wet, and even Alaska has pests that can be attracted by food left out. Cleaning costs, pest control costs, or repair costs will be deducted from the pay listed in your contract.

6. Please comply with orders of mercenaries working for Maniacles Corporation. They are here to keep peace and order.

7. Do not leave the campus unless instructed to by the Director (Dr Clementine) or the Assistant Director (L.T. Graham.) If an instructor wants to take you off the campus, make sure he has either verbal permission or a signed letter of authorization. Do not interact with the locals who live in the town. Leaving the campus violates your contract, and going into the town comes with severe consequences which may include voiding your contract.

"Well... okay." Ruth chuckled nervously "It looks like we can choose our own bed." She looked over at the bunk beds where the comforter for each bed were faded, and one mattress looked like someone already took a knife and slashed through the sheet and into the mattress.

On the opposite side of the building, Evan read the same rules as one too bunk was taken by William, and the two bottom bunks were taken by Danny and Gary. Not that Evan minded the top bunk, but the way Gary just went right for the other bottom bunk without saying anything rubbed him the wrong way. The room was disappointing, but the lobby seemed cozy, in a bed and breakfast kind of way.

"Well this is lame." Gary blurted out "Why don't we check out the lounge? Maybe they got a pool table."
Hey guys, I apologize for my absence. Something came up that absorbed all my attention. If you guys are still interested, I will be right back with you tomorrow, or possibly even tonight.
@Synonym I'm going to say no at least for now.
Now we can really get into the swing of it
Evan was never a particularly strong or confident guy, and both of those facts were blatantly obvious in spite of his attempt to avoid being noticed. If anything, it made everything worse. Nobody in the crowd said anything to him, but a lot of people took subconscious mental notice of that even if they didn't realize it. Some of the newcomers didn't get the most preferable reception.

Some in the crowd saw Mag in her uniform, and wondered if she would rat the island out to a foreign government. "Oh God, what are the Russians doing here?"
There were a few snickers throughout the crowd as Danny stumbled. Even a few from the helicopter couldn't help but chuckle. Ursula, like Evan, failed in her attempt to avoid notice. A group of boys were looking at her and laughing among themselves.

But when Clover and William stepped off it was a different story. Much of the crowd was too nervous to even look at William, thinking he must be one of the ranked individuals running the operation. Both the young men and women outside the school couldn't help but look upon Clover's beauty with desire and reverence.

"This should help ease any doubts of our legitimacy. Anyone coming here from school might feel right at home." Dr Clementine said "Let's get those keys."

When they entered the building was when they first saw the mercenaries. The recruiters had told Evan and several others about unrivaled technological advancements, but this seemed unreal. Two men stood at the entrance and Evan spotted one patrolling the halls. All of them were clad in fitted black power armor. It covered the mercenaries head to toe. On the helmet was a single slit that glowed red. Each mercenary held rifles which Evan didn't recognize.

"You shouldn't have too much trouble with these guys around." Dr Clementine said, pointing at the mercenaries.

Then they were lead to a desk where they were each given their room numbers and a key. The dorm rooms held two bunk beds and held four people. Evan, Danny, William, and "Mr Collins," who Evan learned was actually named Gary Collins, were placed in room 208. Ursula, Mag, and Clover were placed in room 104 with a girl named Ruth. The dorm was a single building, but men and women were put in rooms at the opposite sides of the building.

@rush99999 Are you still in?
