Whew, rough and busy day, and another one tomorrow. Yuck.

The answer was obvious: escape.

Almost coinciding with his thoughts a deafening bang rang throughout his room. Shouts filled the corridor and Daz flew to his feet in surprise. Seconds later he had his ear pressed to his cell wall, trying to hear more. The shouting seemed to be moving away, presumably towards whatever made the bang.

Was this it? Was someone going to rescue them now?

Just then the power abruptly went out, plunging the room into darkness. All that remained was the red light on his metal cell door, and then that winked out as well. Hesitantly, almost daring not to hope, Daz carefully tugged on the door, but it was for nothing. He cursed in frustration when it refused to open, banging on the door angrily.

But then he noticed it… it was quiet. The water had stopped flowing, he couldn't hear it trickling in the walls around him. Maybe… just maybe… He didn't finish the thought, simply closing his eyes and taking a step forward- and with a whoosh he reappeared in the corridor on the other side of his door. “Yes!” he shouted exuberantly, pumping his fist in victory.

The white, sterile corridors were empty and dark around him, but the shouts were getting louder now, and coming towards him. Others, he knew instinctively there were like him, were also beginning to creep out of their separate cells and look around. He immediately closed his eyes and focused on his room back in England. Nothing. Which meant either he was still being blocked somehow, or he too far away, maybe even both. He cursed again, “Fucking hell...”

Just then another bang echoed down the hallway and the voices began drifting further away again. Daz eyed the dark corridor warily.

@PrettyWalrus Sometime tonight (it's about one now for me) I'll put something happening, either that or tomorrow morning, but with it being Christmas everyone is busy, including me, so not anytime during the day.

DEVIANTS

Happy Holidays me peeps!

Alright, IC is up, nothing happening just yet, but go ahead and do a little opening post; how long they've been there, how they're dealing with their imprisonment, how they were captured, whatever you want. And then the day after tomorrow we'll do a rescue/escape/thing.

Day three and nothing had changed. His powers did not work, his masked caretakers, who looked more like some kind of mercenaries from a video game than actual government agents like he thought they were, still did not answer any of his questions, and no one would provide him a change of clothes. Sometimes he could hear others nearby, people talking in hushed whispers out in the corridor or people shouting angrily somewhere nearby. He knew instinctively he wasn't alone here, that more people like him were nearby, but they were just out of reach.

Daz flopped back onto his cot tiredly, at this point he was desparate that something would happen, that his captors would make a mistake or someone would rescue them… surely this wasn't legal? Maybe the government would put a stop to this. They weren't experimenting on him at least, that was one good thing, but from the few words he'd managed to discern through his walls it was only because the labs were unfinished for the moment, but that was bound to change soon.

What about his friends? They would notice he never came back to them, and his brother surely knew he was missing by now. His parents were probably freaking out… Damn, what was he going to do now?

The answer was obvious: escape.

Go ahead and move to the char tab guys.

Name: Darren 'Daz' Quirke

Gender: M

Age: 19

Primary Power: Telepathy Specialty

Personality:

Peaceful, friendly, and sensitive. Takes things at his own pace and tends to live in the moment. He's devoted to the people in his life and is not inclined to debate, disliking disagreements. He is attuned to small variations in the physical world and highly aware of balance, understanding what does and doesn't fit. He is emotionally well-rounded and empathetic toward others.

Skills:

Sneaking out of his room has given Daz some skills in being stealthy. Daz loves to paint, and greatly enjoys art in general. He is fluent in French and has some skill in other languages acquired while trekking across Europe.

Bio:

Daz was born in Bristol, in the UK, and grew up there with his eldest brother who would go on to be a YouTuber of some reknown. At age 15 he first discovered his powers when he began reading his teacher's thoughts to find the answers to her quizzes. His powers gradually began to grow from there; teleporting from his room to the bathroom in the mornings, reading the muted emotions of his parents to know when they were sleeping, and then summoning his panicked cat to him. Inevitably, he turned to the Net for answers, which was where he first found another like him. At first his searches turned up no satisfactory results, but then he was contacted by fantalazy86, a man- he assumed it was a man- who just so happened to be an internet genius keeping an eye out for people with powers like himself. He told Daz he was in contact with 12 others and gave some advice on how to use and hide his powers. He also informed Daz that every now and again one of their kind, Deviants he called them – as in deviation from normal humans – would disappear, and he advised keeping a low profile.

Before moving on with his education to go to uni, Daz went on a trip with several of his friends across Europe, starting in Portugal with plans to stop and meet fantalazy86 in person while in Germany. He never made it that far, he was suddenly being chased across the streets of a small town just outside Lyon by uniformed men with American accents. Foolishly he refused to use his powers in front of people until he had no other choice and in the process of being tackled he vanished in the middle of a large crowd. His reappearance at the edge of the town did not mean his escape, as he had transported the man with him. A sharp pain saw the world fade from view, and then he was waking up in a white room to the sound of running water.
