Appearance: A small Asian boy in simple, slightly damaged clothes.

Reason For being in the Orphanage: There was a violent home invasion one night where 4 masked men broke into his house. They killed his parents and he couldnt do anything about it. When he tried to stop them from killing his sister they tied him up and tortured him, killing her before his eyes and then leaving him to die. He was rescued however after the men fled when the police arrived. After being treated for his injuries he was sent to Gunther Orphanage. All that remains of the massacre is the scar of a slash across his chest, and vivid memories which haunt him constantly. The masked men were never caught.
Personality: Used to be really outgoing and with lots of friends. After what happened, he became a lot more to-himself, and lost touch with those few friends who stuck by him. Now he's generally friendly on the outside but deep down he's permanently crushed, which is a side he very rarely shows.
Other: Despite knowing he did eveything he could, the events of that night repeatedly play through his head and he is constantly thinking about what he should have done, could have done differently, etc. He hates himself for being the only survivor when the rest of his family didnt make it. He is also constantly debating to himself what he would do if he ever encountered those men again, and whether he himself should go looking for them. His biggest secret is that he knows where he could find the men. They had let something slip, and for reasons even he's not sure about he did not tell the police. He is in denial about the fact that deep down he knows the reason why; he had saved them for himself, saved them for when he gets the right chance for revenge.

[NICE NOW LETS START THIS THING]
Mercedes was given a tour of the orphanage,"Here we have the Main Room, where the children come watch tv, play games and do whatever else that amuses them" said the Director. All Mercedes saw was dirty walls, ripped up carpets, and small children passing a ball back and forth.
As they made there way into the bedrooms, Mercedes jaw dropped. There was nothing but barefloor and bunk beds everwhere at least 12 in the small room. The director was talking, but she didnt pay any attention. With her bags in her hands she continued to follow the director until they reached her bed. Mercedes was skeptical about putting her bags on the bed, because she saw flies and all other types of bugs. "Dinner will be served in a couple of hours, there is a basket ball court outside" with that The Director walked off. Mercedes took a deep breathe, and sat on the bed.
Shinji sat in the main room, just.... sat. He didn't play, and just looked around. When someone new was introduced, he looked up slightly and gave his 'Death-stare'. It wasn't even as if he was trying to look creepy. It was just.... built in.
Martin was sitting on his bed
Jay had been lying down in his bed when Mercedes had entered. He got up onto one elbow to see who the new person was. Seemed to be a girl about his age. Oh well, nothing special there, there wasnt exactly any shortage of them. Most of the time if he were to talk to someone, they would have to start the conversation, and he kept by that policy here too.
Estelle was playing mother figure with a child who was crying"shh"Estelle said and the child quiet she looked up and saw someone new walk into the main room Estelle looked at her with a grim face.
Mercedes just looked around at the children, nobody gave her the welcoming speech. She got up and silently walked into the bathroom, "oh my god!" she said entering the bathroom; it was disgusting bugs everywhere and the fact that the bathroom looked like it hasnt been clean for months."wow, just wow"
"Welcome to hell." Shinji said to the near hysterical girl. Yeah, he followed them. Felt like something more productive then just sitting around.
mira looked through the door,"a new girl?"she scoffs and turns away"pointless"she walks back down the hall
Estelle had followed the girl to the bathroom"dont say anything or they will make you clean it"she worned
"Hell? that sounds like an understatement." Mercedes said turning around,"Is it always like this? Dirt...Filth" she couldnt believe that a place of this calibur was still in business, where is the child protective services when you need them.
"I get worse"said Estelle shake her head sadly.
"Does it look like someone cleaned here recently?" Shinji asked.
Jay shook his head. He remembered when he had first came to the orphanage and how horrible it was just to be an orphan, but even worse to like in this stanky place. He got up and went up to her. "Whats your name?" he asked.
"hell, i thought i did a good job cleaning that dam bathroom, you shoulda seen it before" JT said entering the room and reaching up in his top bunk, grabing a basket ball "any one wanna play? you can at least breath outside"
"i'll join in,its not like there's anything else to do around here"said mira
After listening to the kids talking about the cleaning, it was pretty safe to say that there really wasnt much cleaning going on. Somebody said it gets worse and she took another deep breathe. However, she did hear somebody ask for her name,"My name is mercedes" she answered. As much as she wanted to come off nice, certain people seemed to be trying to give her attitude
Estelle heard JT asked if someone wanted to play basketball, although he is one of the few men she was ok with she did not want to play.
"Whatever." Shinji muttered, heading back to the main room and sitting down again.
"I'm Jay," said Jay, standing by her as some of the people left. She looked almost overwhelmed. "Come sit down," he said indicating a couch. Knowing she would probably be thinking of how disgusting it is, he sighed and added, "You may as well get used to it."
"Estelle?" JT said walking up to her "you sure you dont wanna play too?"
she walks up to mercedes"so your name's mercedes"said mira
Mercedes followed Jay and hesistantly sat down on the couch,'please hope i dont catch any diseases' she kept thinking as a girl approached her,"Yes, it is... and you are?"
Shinji just scoffed at the attention these newlings were getting. New orphans. Whoop-dee-friggin'-doo.
Jay sat down beside her. Well, what was there to say? He knew from experience and common sense that asking why she was here was not the best idea. In the end, he said, "So how old are you?"
she suddenly watches her wierdly"Mira"
Mercedes started to look at the girl who called her self "Mira" stare at her, it started to creep her out. Turning her attention to Jay,"I'm 15, yea im young...how old are you"
Margaret sighed, as she stared out the window. Well, this was it. Exactly 11 years to the day. She'd been at the orphanage for 11 years.
"Margaret?"
Margaret glanced towards the door, and smiled. "Hi Jenna,"
"Are you okay?" Jenna asked.
Margaret nodded. "Yeah."
"There's new orphans," Jenna said, as she slipped her cold hand into Margarets's.
"Really?" Margaret asked. Not that it was new or anything.
Jenna nodded. "Yeah. We should go meet them."
Margaret sighed again. "If we must."
{Edit: Haha, accidentally clicked reply}
Shinji looked at some others.
"Fifteen? Here, that's not young." He said, in a stating voice. "In fact, it's kind of old."
"He's right," said Jay. "Well not exactly old, but on the older side. And I'm 14."
Jenna dragged Margaret into the room where everyone else was. "Hi," She greeted cheerfully. "I'm Jenna. This is my sister Margaret."
"Uh, hi..." Margaret said, raising an eyebrow. "Nice to meet you guys."
"I rather be old, because if i dont get adopted, then in 3 years i will be out of this place," Mercedes said feeling bittersweet."So how often do people are here get adopted?"
JT sighed and looked over at the two "hey jenna and Margaret.. wanna play some basket ball with us? its not like there is anything else to do in this ugly ass house, i only got half an hour before i go to..." he looked aorund the room "before i go to work" if he had told the older parents, they would try to take his money from him so he kept it a secret, it wasent always easy, mostly since he worked at night.
"Don't get your hopes up. We'll never get out of here." Shinji said. Great, another perky one. "And don't think you're the special one that does."
(Ooh, wait. I'm confused. G (It's an inside thing) n' Jenna are with everyone else. Or is that the room he's in?)
"Basketball?" Jenna asked, face lighting up. "Okay! Margaret, come play."
"Uh, I think I'll hang back Jenna, go have fun though." she replied.
Jay looked away. Again, Shinji was right. "Pretty much never," he admitted quietly to Mercedes.
(i edited... people tend to post too fast in terri's rp's lol)
"okay, one of the sisters is better then none" JT joked as he bounced the ball a couple times "who ever is playing, meet me out side" he held a hand out to Jenna (jenna is the 7 year old right?)
Mercedes laughed at Shinji's last comment,"I'm anything but special, for once im just glad to be around people, although im in a bad place. This is way better then when i was living with my family"
((You're telling me, why don't my RPs get this sort of traffic? *Holds up 'Go see Nightworld!'-banner*))
Shinji just frowned, before looking down.
"Trust me, it's the same." He said. He taught he'd be happy, away from his parents. He wasn't.
(good way to be a shameless advertiser lol)
Feeling somewhat comfortable, Mercedes decided to ask them "how long have you guys been here?" she glanced at girl who was still staring at her.
"Couple of months," answered Jay. "Ever since..." What was he doing? He just met this chic and he was already going to tell her his life story just cause she asked a simple question?
"I'll sit back, Have fun though"said Estelle "Shinji, would you like to go do something"she asked walking over to him
"oh great kye's here"said mira
(umm,am i going bad?,i'm kinda new to this)
Estelle looked over at Kyle and smiled then looked back at Shinji "So what are you up for?"she asked again wishing he would say something so he would not end up sitting by himself
Can I join up?
My form
Name: Haylie Rodea
Age:14
Personality: Bitter and snarky. She can be nice, but usually is straightfoward
Appearance:Dirty blonde hair, green eyes, about 5"0, with whatever clothes she has
Life Before the Orphange:Her mother died when she was young, so she was raised by her father, who was an alcholic, and he beat her regularly, and she tried to put on a brave face at school
Reason For being in the Orphanage:
Finally when she was 5, her father was found to be an unfit parent, after a teacher saw her with bruises, and even though they often did, this teacher finally put w and 2 together and reported him, after asking Haylie about it. Haylie had no living relatives so she went to the orphanage
[of course you can join]
Mercedes just waiting for Jay to finish,"..." she wondered if he was thinking or if he purposely stopped talking.
Margaret elbowed Kyle sharply in the ribs. "Haven't I already told you today to leave me alone?"
JT laughed "you beat me every time what made you suspect different this time?" he asked pulling her along gently waving a hand to the other who agreed to play aswell.
Jenna smiled. "I wish Margaret would play sometimes," She mumbled. "It'd be more fun."
Jay realized she thought he was continuing. Thinking frantically, he quickly said, "So anyways... umm..."
"oh, she'll play next time" JT said smiling "i get payed tomorrow so she will want to play i bet you" he pushed open the door and completly ignored the two parents that entered behind him.
"Yea, so where can i get something to drink .. I'm quite thirsty" Mercedes said getting quite parched.
"So who are you?" Margaret asked the new girl (Mercedes) "Why are you here?"
the parents looked back at JT and the girl before muttering something about him being young to adopt and then Jt had turned the corner into the back yard. "you ready to play?" he asked Jenna
"The kitchen," said Jay, getting up. "Here, I'll show you the way." He walked the short distance over to the little kitchen by the dining room.
Martin headed downstairs
Shinji just sighed, before heading back to the bedroom. All this socialising wasn't for him.
Martin sat down in the main room looking at the others there, there seemed to be a new girl
Sighing, Shinji plunged down on his bed. He didn't get the commotion. New girl, what was the big deal? Thousands of Orphans were made everyday, what made this girl, who acted spoiled and probably didn't know hard-ship until the death of her parents, so special?
Estelle signed seeing as Shinji ingored her question she went out on to the basketball court to watch"Kick his butt Jenna"she said before sitting down on the grass.
Shinji was just hoping people would get hints. He didn't want company, he didn't want to play, he wanted to be left alone.
(( *poke* Mind if I join? ^^
Name: Leah
Age: 16
Personality: Leah's not exactly shy, but more of a reserved person. She's not very social for the simple reason that she's never had any real friends. She doesn't get angry easily would rather avoid a fight, but at the same time, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty if she needs to. Her approach towards others is simple: she treats them the way they treat her. She doesn't always realize it, but she's brave, and she's always ready to stand up for what she believes in.
Appearance: She's small and skinny, and not very strong physically. She has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. Something like http://2dphile.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sad-girl-in-snow.jpg. (Oh, and she has a small scar over her left eyebrow.)
Life Before the Orphanage: Leah remembers almost nothing of her life before she came to the orphanage, because she came here when she was about two years old. She's often heard that she came from an affluent family, but she doesn't know many actual facts about her past.
Reason For being in the Orphanage: Leah's parents were killed in a car crash, when she was very young. She miraculously survived, with just a small scar over her left eyebrow. She still doesn't know who brought her to the orphanage, and hopes that she has some kind of surviving biological relatives out there. ))
(Ohhh~ Can i join? I'll put up my bio later.)
Kyle decided to go meet some newbies, so he went outside to the basket ball court and walked up the girl (Mercedes) Margaret was talking to before he interrupted there conversation "Hey hows it goin'?" He asked
Estelle laughed, but saw Kyle walk up to the new girl. Estelle stood up and placed her hand on Kyle's shoulder as a warning not to make the girl cry.
((haha nice stell))
Kyle turned around to see Estelle standing there. "Hello Estelle," Kyle smirked "and how are we today?"
(thanks hehe)
Estelle smirked back knowing how to deal with him"just wonderful how are you"she asked
"Just hunky-dory." Kyle said grinning. "can I help you with anything?"
"Why yes thanks for asking, follow me inside"said Estelle as she waked to the door she opened it and becked Kyle.
Kyle looked at Estelle, unsure if he should go. But he reluctantly fallowed her threw the doorway.
Estelle close the door and looked around seeing there was nobody in the room she sighed"Kyle can you please not get on this poor girls bad side, try not to make her cry"
(@Tea; you realise that post with jenny didnt make sense... she was outside with JT)
JT set Jenny down and bounced the ball a few times before gently passing it to her.
Kyle gasped sarcasm dripping "Me? Make someone cry? Nah"
"Kyle please" said Estelle not wanting to yell at him
"Yes mother." Kyle said rolling his eyes and walking back outside.
Estelle sighed and shooke her head "someone has to be"she said sadly as she followed Kyle back outside
Kyle sauntered up to JT and Jenna. "Hey." He said flatly while ruffling Jenna's hair.
(May I join?
Name:Jaden
Age: 14
Personality: Jaden is stubborn, headstrong tomboy who opinionated. This gets her into trouble. Any other time, she is pretty reserved, respectful, easygoing, and docile if nothing offends her. She also detests being called weak in any aspect and loves to prove people wrong. Being looked down upon rather it be her gender or background makes her mad. Thus, she wishes that she was born as a boy instead. When Jaden looses his temper, the grudge can continue for some time.
Appearance:
Height - 5'5
Weight - 100 lbs.
Life Before the Orphange: Jaden has no idea who her parents were or what her past life was. Before she was sent to the Orphanage, she lived with middle-aged lady named Gloria who she considered as her mother. However, she knew that she was left by her real parents in a middle of a mountain pass as an infant and though she was meant to die, she was saved by a traveling merchant. It was then that she was given to Gloria. It is said that the merchant gave her the name Maya. For her whole life, Jaden wanted to find the merchant for saving her and for giving her opportunity to live.
Reason For being in the Orphanage: At twelve Gloria died by getting shot by a escaping criminal for having witnessed his crime. Jaden was then sent a relative who died a eight months after receiving her. The reason was a car crash. It was that child services started to believe that Jaden was bad luck. After that, Jaden was sent to two other people who coincidentally died. One of them was young couple who wanted children. They died in a fire. Jaden had wished to die to with them but they unwillingly pleaded for her to escape and live for them for they were already half-dead. She stayed with them for ten months. The second person Jaden was sent to was an middle-aged man who was supposed to be a long distant uncle. This man was a politician. He treated Jaden well even though at work, he accumulated many enemies. This man died of murder. Jaden stayed with this man for four months. Now Jaden is fourteen and sent to the orphanage.
)
(Yay. I just wanted to ask to make sure which is why I posted my bio along with the post. :))
Jaden looked through the window at the surrounding of his new home. This time, hopefully it wouldn't change. "We're here," the driver told her.
"Thank you." This time Jaden would protect this place. It definitely wouldn't be burned down and the people around her wouldn't die. No rumor was going to beat her down. But as Jaden looked at the house, it seemed rather rundown and uninviting.
Leah had gone out for a walk, and now she returned to the orphanage, and headed to her bed.
Haylie saunted out to where the group with the girl(Mercedes) was. "So who's the newb? "
Martin sat down and put on the tv
((Joining!
Name: Mary Anne
Age: 14
Personality: Mary Anne (who prefers to be called Mary) is quiet and shy with strangers, but when she gets to know them better, she relaxes and gets crazy. She's friendly, loyal and loving and tries to be good with people, although sometimes she can get mean. She's hot-headed, but won't get into fights easily; if one manages to hit her where it hurts though, she will most probably bring chaos to their lives.
Appearance: She's shorter and thinner than most teenagers. She's got a round face, dark brown eyes and long, dark brown hair. Her skin is a bit dark.
Life Before the Orphanage: The reason she got in an orphanage after all, was because her parents had died in a car accident four years ago, when she was ten. She did have relatives but they were too old to take care of her, thus considered unavailable.
Reason For being in the Orphanage: Before she came to the Gunther Orphanage, she was at some other orphanage. However they sent her away because she had done several pranks to one of the people working there.
Yes, her name/age/personality/appearance is based on mine lol))
Mary Anne entered the orphanage. Next to her walked a tall, old lady, who was squeezing the girl's hand into hers hatefully. The woman - who owned the orphanage Mary Anne was in for four years - looked at the teenage girl in disgust and pleasure at the same time.
"I wonder if you will act the same way here," Mrs. Johnson said with an evil smile.
"I will, if the people here are as ugly as Mrs. Green, back at your place," Mary Anne said smiling. She'd never forget the look in Mrs. Green's face when she sat on a pin that had, all of a sudden, appeared on her chair.
Mrs. Johnson grimaced. "You think you can do whatever you want, right little girl?" The old lady squeezed Mary Anne's hand harder, hurting the girl. "Well, you're wrong."
Mrs. Johnson pushed Mary Anne in the main room. The girl fell on her knees and looked at the woman in a way that screamed 'I-want-to-punch-you-to-death'. Not caring about the people in the main room, Mrs. Johnson pointed at Mary Anne with her right index finger and said:
"I've talked to the people here about your behavior. You better be nice here, for your own good." Laughing her heart out, Mrs. Johnson headed out of the orphanage.
((Is that a good intro?))
Leah saw Haylie and a bunch if others crowded around a new girl. She headed over to the others to see what was going on.
(Its Nice)
Mercedes saw that alot of the kids were starting to crowd her, in her own way she felt like a celebrity, but this was the wrong situation,"So i guess having a quiet moment to myself isnt an option."
The Director walked into the main room,"is this a new one?" she said observing Mrs. Johnson and Mary Anne.
"You're new. We're curious. You should have expected that," Leah said impassively to Mercedes.
"Yea, i did. But maybe from 1 or 2 people not small groups" Mercedes said knowing that the hype of her arrival would soon die down."So whats fun to do here."
The Director smirked,"All of the children are treated with the utmost respect." She then turned to Mary Anne,"Say goodbye to this lovely lady and i will show you where you will be sleeping."
Jay was getting bored, so he decided to go outside where alot of the kids were. On the way, he saw another new girl and she seemed pretty mean by the way she said bye to the woman. Oh well, hopefully she would be nicer to the other kids than she was to adults.
Estelle smiled"It ever dies down just so you know"she told Mercedes
The director reached in her back pocket and pulled out a steel ruler, she grabbed Mary Anne's hand and slapped it with the ruler
"What the..." Mary Anne yelled as she pulled her hand away. She looked at the Director quietly, with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Johnson smiled. "I'm glad you can handle her," she told the Director. "Now I'm going to leave, if you don't mind. Goodbye." She walked away, while Mary Anne looked at her hand.
JT played with Jenny for a while before sighing "you beat me again... i gotta go get ready for work, but i want a rematch"
The director smiled and walked into the bedroom,"follow me" she told mary anne. As they arrived in the room, she went to the bed mercedes stuff was at,"your bed is on the top bunk."
"make sure to put my ball back on my bed when your done okay?" he said entering the back door of the house and quickly but quietly walking up the stairs into the room.
The Director took out her ruler and started to beat a pot, "DINNER! DINNER! " She got out the trays and started to put the food on a plate. The food was rather disgusting, it had a smell of dead pig. 1 burnt bisquit, 1 spoonful of vegetables, and a drumstick with strands of blonde hair on it. "If you are thirsty, go drink water from the pool outside"
JT sighed and spoke as he walked up the steps "i would rather starve then eat that crap!" he made it to his room, he only shared it with a few people since he was older and got some clothes before walking to the bathroom and geting into the shower, it was a cold shower of course, they turned off the hot water to most of the rooms for some reason.
Margaret sighed, and headed towards the door. 'God, they could at least feed us edible food,' she thought. But no. Even though she'd been at the orphanage 11 years, she still hadn't gotten used to the food. "Jenna! It's supper ti-" Margaret stopped dead. Kyle. "Jenna, come on. You don't wanna hang out with him. He's a bad influence."
'Ugh!'she goes into the bedroom
Jt got out of the shower and dried off before puting on his clothes and a hoddie covering his work shirt, then he did his hair and brushed his teeth and finished getting ready for work.
finishing with a spray of a rather good smelling colone Jt exited the bathroom and re-hid all the things he had bought along with a large amount of money, he never told any one where it was and never planned to.
Estelle had just given her food to the childern when she saw JT get ready she walked up to him"Director hit a new girl, she not in a good mood"she said as a warning then started to walk away hoping JT did not get caught.
Jay sighed and turned around from his way towards outside, and headed for the table. The food was one of the worst parts of the orphanage. But it beat starving to death, so he would bear with it.
JT stoped Jay on the way and draged him by his arm "if i can save any ill save one" he whispered pulling him through the door quickly "shush and follow"
His instinct was telling him to pull away, but his curiosity got the better of him and he did as JT asked, following him quietly through the door.
Once outside Jt held tighter onto Jay and started running, hoping the kid would keep up, once they rounded the corner he stoped and looked at him "wanna get something good to eat for once?"
Jay ran along with JT, prepared to make a run for it back if anything happened. When faced with the question, Jay replied, "Only if everyone else gets some too."
"i forgot... i havent treated yo ubefore" he laughed "i work at a resturant so when i come home i bring some food with me for the others... when i buy food for one of the kids... usually jenny or one of them, cause im cool like that" he smiled and patted Jay on the back "it means im actually buying it and its not scraps so be happy im getting you something"
Jay smiled up at him. Unless this was a trick, which it didnt seem to be, this guy was actually really nice. But Jay still couldnt bring himself to eat proper food when the others were left with nothing but trash. Forming a plan in his head, Jay nodded and said, "Thanks for helping us out like this, its really nice of you."
"yea yea but dont tell the older people, they like to either blackmail me or steal my stuff and money" JT said looking forward and resuming his usual too tough to pick on look.
Jaden lazily got out of the car and started towards the entrance. She was told to go meet the director. Hopefully, she was as welcoming as the other people she met. She entered through the entrance and looked inside. There was a long hallway and she a few kids scurrying in a certain direction. Her lips pursed into a straight line as she studied the atmosphere.
"Honestly, how long until you guys learn to get used to it and stop whining?" Shinji asked, getting his food. "At least she attempted to cook this time."
Haylie shrugged, gingely brushed the hair off the chicken and ate in silence. She knew it was better to eat bad food than nothing at all.
Martin sat down with his food, he knew he had to put up with it but that did not mean he had to like it
Shinji just looked at his plate.
'Shutupshutupshutupshutup!' He taught to himself. 'Deal!'
Mercedes wanted to throw up when she saw the food,"Mrs. is this some type of joke? is this really what we are eating." The director glared at her, but before she was about to do something Jaden walked in the room,"May i help you?" the director asked Jaden
"It's not as if it gets any better." Shinji said trough clenched teeth. "Complaining only makes it worse."
Mercedes glared at Shinji, What was this kids deal? He was quite obnoxious, she just shook her head and said,"So glad i didnt have any siblings" and headed to the bedrooms.
Shinji just glared at the girl.
'Better get used to it.' He inwardly told her.
Mary Anne looked at a girl ((Mercedes)) walking away. Apparently nobody could stand this food, and she really couldn't blame them. She stood up and figured that she could read a book or something, instead of try to eat this food. Walking slowly, she entered the bedroom.
"Fine, go starve yourself just because you had better once, neglect that survival instinct. Don't try and show some humility." Shinji whispered. "Spoiled brats."
"spoiled? why dont you just stop judging people and worry about yourself," mercedes said making her way to the bedroom,"i'm going to strangle that little kid if he doesnt keep his mouth shut"
Estelle walked back in the room to see everyone complaining. Estelle sighed "Director, can i make dinner for everyone tomorrow"she asked, normally she was allowed to cook.
"Why don't you just shut up and deal with the situation?" Shinji retorted. "I would've kept quiet if everyone else did."
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" screamed the director,"now all of you will eat this food whether you like it or not....do you understand estelle?" she said pulling out her metal ruler.
Mary Anne sighed and sat on her bed. She opened her small bag and took a book out. She stole it from the small library some hours ago, just before Mrs. Johnson took her to the Gunther Orphanage.
The screaming was to much, as Shinji just got up and ran away without another word.
'Drama queens, all of them,' Leah thought, as she ate her food silently. It was an orphanage, not five-star hotel; what did the newbies expect?
Martin finished his food
Estelle sighed she was going to make them decent food one way or another. She left the room, going after Shinji. Here again she wanted to protect everyone, but even that is not possible some times.
"Well, I'm new here. I was told to speak to the director," Jaden tried to explain.
Margaret flung open the door of the dining room, dragging Jenna behind her. The last thing she needed was to be late. Late meant punishment, and Jenna couldn't deal with that again. She was so rushed, that she didn't even noticed the boy (Jaden) and smashed into him. "Oh, I'm sorry," She gushed. "Are you okay?"
"not too far away" JT said smiling and picking up speed "i couldnt have it too far away from home or i wouldnt be able to walk the distance but i couldnt have it too close and risk getting seen by the director and stuff, not that she would ever go to a resturant..." he laughed a little and crossed the street, keeping Jay on his left, and away from his bandaged arm, which was covered by his sleeve.
Jay nodded along with what JT said. He really was getting hungry, and as they walked he hoped they would reach it soon. "How old are you again?" he asked.
"six-teen" Jt said looking down at him "you?"
(he was 16 right?)
"I'm the director, follow me" said the Director as she walked around the orphange giving Jaden the tour."Thats the bathroom, the outside with a basketball court and there is the main room." They arrived in the bed room, "here is where you sleep you can take that bed right over there" she said pointing at a bed in a corner.
Mercedes walked outside again, it wasnt really crowded out there. She couldnt believe that they would serve such disgusting food, oh well.
JT and Jay entered a fast food resturant "this aint where i work but this is where you eatin cause im a cheep skate" he laughed "anything is better than that place's food" he walked up to the counter and the clerk greeted him
"oh hey JT, you got a new friend with you today?" she asked smiling at them both,
"yea, saving yet another and introducing him to the world of fast food" JT flirted back, before ordering "umm... what did you want kid...?"
"Ughh...yea." Jaden groaned. She turned to get a look at the girl's face but was interrupted by the director. She quickly picked herself up and followed the director here and there. The orphanage wasn't that...presentable but it was better than nothing. When Jaden got to her bed she quickly said thank you before placing a small backpack of a few basic belongings on it.
Once at the rooftop of the building, Shinji slammed close the door leading to it, hoping that would dissapate any followers. He wanted to be alone.
Haylie didn't blame Shinji. Newbies always complained about the food and caused a rucus. She hated to admit she had been reluctant to eat the food at first, but she also realized complaing was futile.
Martin left
Estelle fillany saw Shinji right as he slamed the door. Estelle walked back quitly to her room.
Once he was sure he was alone, Shinji sat down and looked up at the sky. He liked that.... wether or not the sun shone, wether it rained or even snowed.... the sky was always there, and no one could take it away.
Mary Anne closed the book and placed it back in her bag. Sighing, she hopped from the bed to the floor and headed to the main room.
Martin headed to the main room
Mary Anne saw a boy ((Martin)) who seemed to be around her age walk in the same direction with her. "Hey," she said, "I'm new here. My name's Mary Anne," she introduced herself.
"hi, i am martin" Martin replied
"Nice to meet you." Mary Anne outstretched a hand to Martin.
Martin shook her hand
"So... uh... How long have you been here?" Mary Anne asked Martin as she sat on a not so clean couch.
"about 12 years" Martin said
Estelle ran back to the dinning room, it was her turn to wash dishes and she forgot.
[Edited, sorry]
(wrong RP humbu^_^)
[My bad xD]
"I' going to bed," the director said walking into her room and locking it shut.
Mercedes just walked around outside. A car drove by blasting the radio, the music was very appealing to her. About 2 seconds later the car drove off. "Television, Radio, anything" she said walking into the orphanage,"is any of that here?"
"hey, its your meal, why should i choose it?" JT said smiling and patting him on the back gently "take your time, and order something you want"
"True," said Jay. He looked thoughtfully up at the menu posted above the clerk. "I'll take some fries please. And some juice. If its okay."
"c'mon kid... dont you want nothin else?" JT asked again nodding to the clerk to get the order and some extras.
Jaden let out a sigh and looked at her plain room. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would have been after seeing the other parts of the orphanage. She took a seat on the springy bed and laid out a few of her items from her bag on the bed: a blanket, toothbrush, toothpaste, and other basic items for survival. It was as if she had packed for going on a camping trip.
"Holy jeez Red!" Kyle said toppling over Margaret who was still on the floor. "Way to trip me." He said now laying beside her about 3 inches from her face.
"S-sorry," Margaret muttered, pushing Kyle away, her face flushing. "Try to watch where your going next time."
Estelle finshed washing the dishes and looked around for something she would be able to cook
"Nope. Get used to it." Haylie said darkly, brushing past.
"yes, but as they say what does not kill you can only make you stronger" he said though his words were not convincing
Mary Anne shrugged. Was that really true? She didn't know. "I've been in an orphanage for like, four years," she said.
Leah finished her dinner and headed back to her bunk.
During his gazing, Shinji slowly, but steadily, fell asleep.
"oh" Martin said
Here it is =3~
Name: Mixmi
Age: 15
Personality: Mixmi is an artistic and sensitive girl, but she can always stand up for herself. She's also smart and has occasionally weird mannerisms. She tends to be a bit messy and is unquie when it comes to clothing. She doesn't like feeling alone and she sometimes feels she is a little bit of a ghost to people, but at the same time she can be out-going and be much of an optomist. She's afraid of hights (plus a fear of falling) and darkness. She also has the sense of not belonging.
Appearance: Long Gold Blonde hair that she likes putting into two high ponytails. She has green eyes and white skin. She wears mixed-matched clothing often.
Life Before the Orphange: Mixmi lived in a fairly rich home with her mother, father and twin sister, Milmi. Milmi and Mixmi were the best of friends and were basically identical copies. They both had hamsters - Fizz and Fuzz. They both attended a private-high school. There birth days are both on the 20th of August.
Reason For being in the Orphanage: On the 20th of August, Mixmi's and Milmi's birthday, their mother and father gave them the gift of taking them to France, Mixmi's and Milmi's favourite forgien country. Once the plane took off and was above the sea... A terriost attack took place, the terriosts knocked the pilots senseless and took control of the aeroplane and holded everyone hostage. They soon entered a storm and the terriosts didn't know how to control the aeroplane and they both stupidly switched off both engines. And down went the plane, Mixmi and Milmi held onto eachother tightly as the metal bird pin dived it's lethal dive. Mixmi doesn't remember anything else afterwards, all that remains is scars, her sister's neckacle that broke off in the dive... and a broken heart.
---
Mixmi glared at her agent, "I hate you," she growled.
"Ha, guess we both can agree on something," the agent casually stated with a smirk across her face.
"You are just doing it for the money," cried Mixmi as tears swelled up in her eyes,"You, you, you PIG!"
The agent rolled her eyes as she turned the corner on the road,"Ah, don't worry dear, the orphanage you are going to is very nice."
"NICE? HA! nice?" she yelled with her fist up in the air, "I'll show you-"
Mixmi suddenly jerked forward and hit her head on the windscreen and jerked back into her seat. They had stopped outside a dodgy looking orphange, it didn't look 'nice' or 'very nice' at all as her agent explained it. She exchanged at dirty look at the driver.
"Bon appettite, dearest," smiled the agent evily.
"Bon appe- what? I am supposed to eat this place?!"
"Ah... at least you won't starve like the others, ta-ta!" she opened the door and literautelly pushed the blonde girl out the car along with her pink suitcase and drove off laughing.
(Mish i love your backstory)
Mercedes walked to her bed, she saw some of the other kids starting to lay down,"so can we leave this place? like goto a store or park and come back?'
It was getting cold outside, as Shinji subconsciously curled up a bit in his sleep to protect himself from it.
((Mixmi doesn't remember anything else afterwards, all that remains is scars, her sister's neckacle that broke off in the dive... and a broken heart. Awwww I almost cried))
Estelle shooke her head coming up with nothing and she walked out by Kyle and Margaret"you should be going to bed right?"she asked sitting on a chair by them.
the food came quickly hence the name... fast food... he picked up the tray, and there was two cups on it the clerk winked again and Jt smilled "hey, we got free drinks" he bumped him lightly "i think the clerk likes you"
"Not unless you wanna get slapped." Haylie snapped at Mercedes.
"hmm i wonder why"
Mercedes sighed, she felt like she was in prison,"has anybody ever escaped from this place before?
"why? what did you do?" martin asked
"Ha, good luck trying," Leah scoffed at Mercedes.
"Like that's be something terrible," Margaret said. "Missing dinner I mean. Not me...whatever, let's go."
Getting up after his nap, Shinji stretched himself, and rubbed his body, which was sore from sleeping on a concrete roof.
"Fell asleep again....." He muttered. "I wonder if anyone even missed me....." With that he looked at the door. No one. He wanted to be alone, but some part of him was sad that nobody checked up on him. "Probably not. Figures." With that he went back inside.
Going to the main room, Shinji just quietly made his way to a corner and sat down, resuming his gazing over the room.
"oh, so what do you want to do in the future?" Martin asked thinking this was not a good route togo down
"Uhm, I don't know... I adore kids. I think I want to do something that's related to kids." She nodded. "What about you?"
"not sure, but i want it to do something that pays well" Martin said
Jaden couldn't go to sleep. She wasn't sure if it was the odd smell that kept her away or the whispering that kept her awake. Trying to go to sleep, Jaden turned in her sleep but that proved worthless. Oh well. Maybe it would be better to not sleep till she was really sleepy. That way, bad dreams didn't come as easily. Jaden sat up and ruffled her short boyish hair. Looking like a boy often proved to make things easier for her. For instance, the number of assaulters lowered because of her appearance.
"Hey," Jaden called over to a group of girls (Mercedes, Leah, and everyone else talking with them).
"not a lot, there a tv and theres a small garden. Thats about it" Martin said
"Which you could've just figured out by looking across the room." Shinji simply said.
"mary is new cut her some slack" Martin said
"Is 'New' another word for 'Blind'?" Shinji asked.
"no" Martin said
"Then I stand by what I said." Shinji finished.
"well i say you are not being very nice and you should be kinder to mary" Martin replied
"Well sorry for not being happy-go-lucky, sugary sweet." Shinji snorted. "I'm not going to change my attitude because someone's 'New'."
"i am not asking you to, i am just asking you to be nice" Martin said
"Newsflash: I'm not nice." Shinji said. "Why should I bother being nice? It's not going to change anything."
"it may help you get some where" Martin said
"Don't be an idiot." Shinji said. "Being nice doesn't get you anywhere."
"and neither does being plain nasty" Martin said
With that, Shinji got up, angry.
"Nasty? Is calling out a dumb question nasty? Is.... Is saying they'd better get used to being treated like dirt nasty?" He started. "Is telling someone the truth nasty?"
"the way you put your statment to her question after my answer was mean" Martin said
This was to much.
"FINE!" Shinji shouted. "I'm nasty, I'm mean, I shouldn't have been born! I get it! You hate me!" With that he ran out of the room.
"i never said that i hated you" Martin said as shinji ran out the room with a shake of his head
((You DO know Shinji's TEN years old, right?))
Back at the rooftop. Back by himself. To even think people would change.....
"Uh, hey," Leah replied curtly to Jaden.
((Yeah, and by the way I think that a 10-year-old wouldn't act this way...))
((It's the point. He's been trough physical and mental abuse from a very early age, so he's.... well, like he is.))
"its ok, we should look out for each other" Martin said smiling back
"People don't like me.... people will never like me.... even when I play nice, they hate me....." Shinji told himself. "So why bother? Why care for others if they don't care for me?"
"Martin your not going after him? I think the reason he was fighting with you is because he wanted attention someone who would talk to him even if it means fighting"she Estelle from the doorway where she was watching the whole fight"If your not then im going to try"she said breezing past Martin and Mary Anne going after Shinji. She walked up to the rooftop where she assumed he would be, she knocked on the door.
"you go, i don't want another argument" Martin said
"Leave me alone." Shinji simply said as he heard the knock.
Mercedes heard drama and didnt feel like getting involved, instead she went outside and observed everything.
"Shinji I left you alone before but not now"said Estelle not backing down.
Kyle stepped into the dining room. "Oh darn, we missed supper." He said sarcasm dripping.
"naah" JT said smiling and filling the drinks before sitting down across from jay "just promise if you get outta here before me that you'll take come back and visit, that, and when you do get outta that hell hole, to have a good life" he smiled taking a bite of a fry.
"I'll try," said Jay. "But it doesnt seem like anyone's gonna be out of that place anytime soon," he sighed, then looked up. "Do you... do you think we could make it on our own? Without the orphanage? I mean you already have a job and I'm sure it shouldnt be too hard for me to get one at a restaraunt too."
"the thing is... jay right?... the thing is jay that we're not supposed to have jobs, and, im sure if some how we got out of there we could all find a way to survive, but it would be very hard on the older ones and even the younger ones... well just about every body" Jt tries to make sense of what he is saying but most of his words and sentences ended up scrambled and messed up "but if you really want a job, Candice might be able to help" Jt looked back at Candice, the clerk and smiled.
Haylie threw herself onto her bed and grumbled, silently cursing all the annoying newbies.
"I only would want a job if we could escape that horrible place though," said Jay. "Cause otherwise there's not much point, other than the occasionally real meal like what you're treating us with."
"tell that to my cd player, basketball, football, and wad of cash in my room" JT laughed taking a bite of a burger he ordered
"Wow, if you have that much money why dont you like rent a small apartment or something?" asked Jay, eating some more fries.
"because i cant rent an appartment alone, and until im 18" JT said frowning a bit as he swallowed. "besides, i wouldnt want to leave every body right now, its just not fair"
"Thats true," said Jay, nodding thoughtfully as he finished his fries and stood up. "I guess we should be getting back now, right?"
"if u want" JT said pushig the cup and a bag of fries along with a hamburger "if you dont want them give them to some one who couldnt stomach the food there" JT whiped his mouth and stood as he finished the last of his fries and drink.
((I don't know... it still sounds weird, even for an abused boy.))
((Well, I've heard about much worse cases in real life.... so I stand by my portrayal.))
Martin "whats wrong?" he said on hearing mary sigh
"Nothing, I just..." Mary Anne shrugged. "I'm fine."
"you can tell me if you want" Martin said
Mary Anne shook her head, "I'm okay. I just felt weird for a second."
"oh, well at least you are ok" Martin said
Mary Anne nodded. "Well... do you want to do anything? I can't just... stand here."
"there is not really anything to play, but sure" Martin said
"Well, if there's imagination," Mary Anne paused, "anything can happen." She sat down on a stinky couch and thought.
"i suppose so" Martin said
"Well..." Mary Anne laughed, "apparently I have not enough imagination. I really can't think of anything." She frowned.
"i don't know either" Martin said
"It's always been like this.... you heard them. I'm mean, nasty, and an overall horrible person." Worst thing was, he believed it to be true. It had been said to him for so long that Shinji really taught of himself as someone terrible.
Estelle wanted to cry for Shinji but she held it in "Shinji there is one thing you need to learn you are not mean or nasty and never will you be horrible what Martin said was not what he really felt he just was getting mad and have no way to put the right words in his mouth." Estelle sat to the down sitting against the wall next to the door.
"People always get mad at me....no matter where I go." Shinji said. "It has to be me. How else can it be explained?"
Estelle realized she had worded that wrong very wrong."Shinji you never for certin if people get mad at you they my be mad about how their life is going and you just happen to be there" said Estelle looking at her hand unsure of how to answer the question "I dont want to speak for others but I know that I love you and I will never be mad at you" she said truthfully.
"Really?" Shinji asked, slightly turning around. "You-you really mean that?"
Estelle smiled to herself"Yep, that is something i would never lie about" she answered.
Shinji looked down, before looking at her again. "T-thanks....." He softly told her. "You're the first person who said that to me...."
Estelle's heart broke "I'm not the only one that loves you, so dont worry"she said smiling
"I don't know.... but you're more then enough." Shinji said, shuffling closer to Estelle.
Estelle smiled at Shinji and opened her arms for him to hug her.
Shinji let it happen, still a bit fidgety.
Estelle realsed him and knelt down "Is there something you would like to do before you go to bed"she asked to Shinji smiling at him happy she finally got through to him.
"Not really...." Shinji said. "We could watch the sky if you want."
Mercedes started to plot,"Im not going to stay here, as soon as i get the chance im going to run away, this place is hell and im not going to stand for this."
"Does anyone know if this place ever gets....cleaned." One of the probably feminine traits of Jaden out of all her boyish traits was that she had hygiene so all the peeling and dirty walls really made her a bit nausea.
(he can either eat it or bring it back with him yea)
Jt smiled at Jay "you know how to get home right?"
Haylie turned to face Jaden and half-shouted "God, would you ALL get USED to it?", then stormed out of the room.
Estelle nodded"like you can depend on it"she said
"Yeah.... and it never hurts people. I know it gets a bad rep with like, rain, snow and hail and such.... but I don't mind that." Shinji explained.
Mary Anne buried her face into her hands for a moment, then looked at Martin. "Is there any chance we get adopted?" She asked.
"yes, there always is" Martin said trying to reasure mary though he doubted it himself
Leah rolled her eyes at Haylie, but turned back to Jaden and said, "I would've preferred that a little less loud," she said, "But it's pretty much true. You've just got to get used to this place. Complaining won't do any good."
