I have lots of characters who speak up or don't care what others think to the point of taking too much, so I wanted to try one that's quiet.
she's the one who will be sitting in the corner, so quiet and still you will forget she's there, her eyes watching everything you do and analyzing your body to see what you aren't saying. she won't compliment or insult, just say simple things until its time to lay out a plan or something then its like X-Files theme

Arae had been walking around casually. With Cody asleep, she had free reign to do whatever she wanted. And right now, she wanted to explore. She was 16 for the Goddess's sake! Cody had been chafing on her majorly. She heard the signature yelling and cursing, followed by the slamming of the 'vault', followed by more yelling and cursing. New person. She meandered nearer to the sounds and saw a boy. Young-looking, and fuming. He looked interesting though. She breathed a quiet sigh, a sort of mental preparation that she did before creating an illusion.

Soon enough, she had whipped up a pretty interesting test. A person, short, blonde, apparently sexless, and clad in black. She sent them on their way, in front of the boy who seemed rather violent. Her idea was to test how he would react to learn there are people here. A habit she had picked up from the ever-distrusting Cody that she used as a safety precaution. When she made humans, she could project her voice through them, and that's what she planned to do should the boy want to talk.

The person walked directly up to him, not with Arae's usually preppy demeanor, but with curiosity. "There's no signal for anything down here. We have wifi to an extent, but anything used to contact the outside world is blocked. Google included." Arae stood a good distance from them, sharing her knowledge of the underground

Kaidei, a 14-year-old boy, heard the 'vault' from a distance as he was drawing the American government officials pointing and yelling at each other. He seemed pretty unbothered with being here for what seemed like an eternity to him. Yui was reading a variety of horror, fiction, and biology books whilst occasionally peeking in on what Kai was up to. Kaidei was making drawing after drawing, sketch after sketch, using as little paper and as many art resources as he could. When Yui came to check if he was ok, she also attempted to wrestle him to get his hair brushed out. Kai would fight and struggle as he continued to draw.

(ye its like (in my mind) a labyrinth of mixed-media tunnels general stuff)

(thanks for clearing that up!)

Juniper lifted her head from her notebook. A commotion had caught her attention- lots of screaming, cursing and fighting. hmm. new shmuck, aye?
She placed here pencil inside the lined pages and set them on the bed. She'd been here for five years, but still didn't think of it as hers. She slipped out the door, leaving one bare foot in the door frame. With here head and most of her thin body leaning out into the hall, she could see Arae and a two unfamiliar people standing, talking. One was obviously male, his body covered in minor injuries. the newbie. Other than Arae, a blond person was chatting.
She saw Arae making tiny, almost nonexistent motions with her head and limbs that corresponded with bigger movements of the blonde. Ahhh…an illusion.
Juniper decided to sit outside her door and watch. She could assess the new boy, and see how he might react to her sitting in clear sight but not engaging– would he ask a question or assume she wanted to be left alone? Little things like that could tell her a lot about him.
She retrieved the notebook and continued her high-detailed map of the tunnels. Not to escape, just to occupy her mind and hands. She sat her bony butt on the cold, damp earth and focused o the lines on the page.

Moss looked down at the blond person then took a long, deep breath through his nose. “Thanks for letting me know.” he mumbles, letting his breath out through his mouth. After a moment of silence from him, he tossed his phone down on a blanket and leaned against a wall. His dark clothes were now stained with blood and dust, and his makeup with smeared. He did have on an upside down cross necklace, a chain choker, and a pentical earring with several other stud and ring earrings. He also had on very chunky rings that were also covered in blood. Yet, despite his rough looks, his deep brown eyes were soft, and so was smile.

“Anyways…I’m moss…what’s your name?” He murmurs. He looked tense. Very tense. He then looked around at the underground society and chuckles. “Looks kinda like a mall got mixed with a prison and that got mixed with a hotel. All about 2 stars-“ the boy laughs, his eyes flashing a purple color.

(Ok so. We have me, anxiety gremlin, Leo, then Serenity. That will be the posting order.)

👍

Arae smiled warmly as she stepped from behind the rock and the blond ran off, seemingly into the darkness, but truthfully into thin air.
"Name's Arae. A pleasure to meet you, Moss. And you're right. It's a bunch of stuff, none of it very good, and all of it kinda dumb. All in all, it amounts to 3 stars." She smiled and plopped down on a rock. It didn't look very comfy but she looked used to it. "The privacy's pretty nice though. You'd think they'd have more surveillance, considering the amount of 'rats' down here"
At that moment, a tall man with black hair stepped out behind her, grumbling, "They did at first. Most are broken, the others are covered, and no one comes to fix 'em."
At the sound of the deep, gravelly, voice, Arae's casual demeanor shifted dramatically as she jumped what must have been 50 feet into the air. "Cody! What the FUCK"
Cody smiled an uncomfortable grin. "How many times have I told you to stop running off?"

Yui was starting to get aggravated with Kaidei and kept wrestling him, them both tumbling out of Kai's preferred room and into the common area. Kaidei was biting Yui's arm as she tried to simply brush out his hair. "Lemme go, woman! I do not appreciate this treatment!!" She then tossed him onto his front and held him down and finally brushed out his hair properly, not caring if the others are staring or anything. Kaidei then calmed when she got finished brushing his hair and styling it.
