Sydney rubbed her temples. "I don't like doing that. Can we all just calm down so I don't have to yell again?" She asked as she grabbed a chair and sat down. "We need to talk ground rules, and we need to get organized."
(Tbh Damian's the leader but Sydney will take charge sometimes and it's shocking for even me but it just kind of happens ya feel meh?)
"Fine by me," Acacia smiled at Sydney.
"Okay," both of the twins mumbled after Acacia.
Aspen finally poked his head into the room where everyone was. “So this place is cool and all but you don’t have a la- did I miss something?” The tension in the room was pretty obvious. He awkwardly sat down on a chair.
Natalia leaned against the wall, arms crossed. Her red hair had been coming out of her ponytail,s o she just undid it.
Sydney looked at Damian for her to take charge. Damian nodded. "Okay. Rule number one. You need to respect others and their property. Any objections?"
"None here," Acacia spoke up for their little trio. Both Lotus and Myrah were being put out of commission for this little chat.
Aspen raised his hand. “Like, in a life-threatening situation, we don’t have to worry about asking permission… right?”
//he was supposed to be quiet and nice and he’s just an awkward 12 year old xD
Damian spun on her heels and did dorky finger guns at Aspen. "You are correct."
"Can I leave now?" Lotus asked. Acacia slapped them on the back of the head, "Ow!"
"Rule number two. We need to make an effort to get along. Our fighting could cost someone their life."
"Understandable," Acacia nodded. She glared at Lotus who made a face of agreement.
(Acacia is the mom friend. Myrah and Lotus would be dead without her, so very dead.)
Allegria awkwardly stood there, What am I supposed to do.
(Acacia is the mom friend. Myrah and Lotus would be dead without her, so very dead.)
(Basically the three's friendship too lol. Peyton is the mom-friend, thought technically wouldn't he be the dad-friend? Also he tells some pretty ridiculous jokes. Oh and don't even get me started on Tyler.)
(Like Acacia is the mom. Lotus is the rebellious edgy teenager. And Myrah is the younger sibling that the mom loves and the teenager pretends doesn't exist.)
"Not the apocolypse. She, he, they, could take the Turing Test. It's a test to prove a robot/AI is sentiet."
Paran, who had remained silent throughout introductions and encounters speaks up. "Please tell me how a bunch of college students with little to no knowledge of how to actually spy are supposed to do this? We haven't even gotten up to the 21st century's spies in class yet, which means that there are a lot of things we have to deal with. Cameras, for example." This is the most that any of them have heard him speak all year.
"I mean," Lotus shrugged, "We could always just Google it."
Paran just sort of looks at her. Opens his mouth to speak, closes it, and very slowly lowers his head while shaking it.
( Hi its me texting on the bus….. still!)
"What?" Lotus looks at the boy.
“Look, if we mess up the first few times, it’s fine,” Natalia sighed. “For one, we just need to plan really well. For two, just about anyone can Ben bribed and my parents have money.”
Paran just shakes his head and stands there. Everyone gets the feeling he doesn't talk much.
"I'm serious, if Echo passed the Turing Test that would be a reveloution for modern technology!"
