I13DT - Sixteen and Holding

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 2:16 pm

Miranda or Project Miranda, she wasn't sure which, sat in her holding cell and listened to the world. She was resting her head on her knees. The power dampening device around her neck rendered her blind. She mumbled quietly, raising her head when she thought she heard a noise that was out of place.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:12 pm

Charles sat cross-legged at the back of his cell. Perhaps unlike Miranda he'd retained knowledge of what and/or who he was though whether that was actually helpful when being imprisoned was a different question.

He didn't appear to be aware of any strange/out of place noises and just sat there quietly without moving much having stopped fiddling with the power dampening device around his neck some time ago.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:21 pm

"Something strange is happening," Miranda said quietly. "Those aren't the normal noises."

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:26 pm

Charles looked over at Miranda with a quizzical look on his face.

"I don't hear anything," Charles said straining with rather average sense. "Sorry, I mean... what do you mean not the normal noises?"

With that, the door to the main hall slowly swung open.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:29 pm

'It's just wrong and..." Out of habit, she immediately shut up as soon as the door opened.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:34 pm

Charles also clammed up immediately and looked down at the ground.

by **Cecil Langdon** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:43 pm

Cecil took a peek inside the room, still outside the doorway.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:47 pm

Miranda was looking more or less in the direction of the door, but the binding that someone had tied across her eyes made it obvious she couldn't see whatever was over there.

by **Cecil Langdon** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:11 pm

Cecil walked inside the room and looked around.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:14 pm

"Hello?" Will said, in a shouted whisper.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:15 pm

Not from around here. That's good. "Hello," Miranda responded, returning the shouted whisper.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:19 pm

"Are you alright?" Will said, hurrying over to the cell doors. "It's OK, we're friends."

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:22 pm

Charles was a little confused as to what was going on. For some reason the thought of rescue or escape didn't really entered his mind.

"Yes?" Charles asked or stated it was somewhat hard to say.

by **Cecil Langdon** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:28 pm

Cecil looked at the cell doors to see if he could unlock them from here.

by **Narrator** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:34 pm

Possibly--the locks were advanced, and secure without the proper key--but telekenesis was a pretty useful skill. If applied properly...

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:48 pm

"Define 'okay'," Miranda said, standing up slowly. She was dressed in something similar to hospital scrubs.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:49 pm

"Like, can you leave? We're getting you out of here."

by **Cecil Langdon** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:53 pm

Someone more creative than Cecil might have found a way to defeat the locks with his powers, Cecil is of course Cecil.

"We probably going to have to find the keys or just brute force it." Cecil stated.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:05 pm

"I'm mobile, but I'm pretty helpless right now," she said, tugging at the collar on her neck for emphasis.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:17 pm

Will nodded.

"Flowstone, Airwalker, Felana, try to find the key to these things. I'll stay here, and see what I can do."

"It's going to be alright," Will added to the two in the cells.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:25 pm

"Sorry, but who are you and why should we trust you?" Charles asked.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:28 pm

"My name is Will Stanton. I'm with the X-Men.

And I'm a former 'guest' of these creeps."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:30 pm

"The X-Men?" Miranda seemed confused and surprised at the same time.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:38 pm

"Everything's going to be alright. We have a jet outside and we'll take you out of here once that door's open." Sara says, mustering a smile before heading out to take a look at the rest of the rooms.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:43 pm

"Yeah, straight from London to your door," Will said, kneeling down to look at the locks.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:43 pm

"Right..." Charles said not sounding entirely convinced.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:49 pm

"Sorry, I don't carry a badge or something."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:51 pm

Miranda turned towards the sound of Charles' voice. "It wouldn't be the first time I've played along with some sick mind game they've put on me. Look, if they're just going to fuck with us, there's nothing we can do to stop that, but if there's a chance this is a legit, I'm taking it."

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:58 pm

"It just sounds too good to be true," Charles said looking a little embarrassed. "Like they're testing us or something, but you're right it'd be worth it just to have the chance to escape."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:02 pm

"So...what are YOUR names, then?" Will said, shifting his hand into a tool to get at the lock.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:07 pm

"Probably easiest if you call me Miranda."

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:11 pm

"Charles Franklin," Charles said while watching Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:15 pm

"What brings...gnnn...you here to el casa de aire negro?" Will said, grunting as the lock clamped down around his finger.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:21 pm

"They kidnapped me when I left home to attend Xaviers," Charles said.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:24 pm

"I honestly don't remember," Miranda said. "Hey, could you at least get this thing off so I could see you?" She leaned towards the bars near where Will's voice was.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:25 pm

"Xaviers? You're supposed to go to the school?"

Will took his one, non-trapped hand, and tried to untie Miranda's blindfold.

by **Charles Franklin** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:29 pm

"Yeah, that was the plan," Charles said.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:30 pm

Miranda realized, too late, that Will had misunderstood her. The blindfold came off and it was immediately obvious that that wasn't what she meant as there was no physical way for her to see as her eyes were missing. "Crap! I'm sorry," she said, snatching the blindfold back up and trying to put it back in place.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 11:32 pm

"Woah!" Will said, lurching back a little bit--but as one hand was stuck in the lock, he ended up elongating that arm. "I'm so sorry--Miranda, was it? I'm so sorry--I didn't mean to...ow. What ha...no, um, sorry?" he said, eloquently.
