"Oh wow," Jayden whispered to Lydia. "This is all so cool."
"Oh wow," Jayden whispered to Lydia. "This is all so cool."
Lydia nodded. "Way better than Candor, definitely."
Once Lydia entered the room, she began changing into her new Dauntless clothes. Without hesitating, she tossed her Candor clothes into the fire, free from them.
"I call this bed," she exclaimed, though it was no different from the others. She waited on Jayden, not wanting to go to the cafeteria alone.
A minute later, Jayden joined her. Her clothes also quickly went into the fire, albeit slower than Lydia. "Let's go?"
"Yep!" The two girls walked to the cafeteria, the first transfer-initiates out of the room. The others still seemed to be getting used to being Dauntless. Lydia was still getting used to it, no doubt, but she tried to act like she belonged.
She and Jayden entered the room, and Lydia was shocked by the noise. And she thought Candors were loud. They found an open table, getting their food. "Wow. I don't believe I'll ever get used to this."
As Adrik made his way into the cafeteria he spotted a guy-who he knew came from Candor- sat in his usual seat next to his friends. He walked up behind the kid and rested his hands on his shoulders, bending over a bit to talk to him.
"Listen, initiate that's my seat." Adrik said, smirking when a few of his friends nodded in agreement.
The transfer looked up, and with a 'I don't see your name on it.' he was pushed to the floor, a knee holding him down, a gun to his head, and a knife to his throat.
"Watch who you're talking to SQUIRT, or you'll find yourself faction-less, or dead." he growled, pulling the weapons away from the guys throat, sitting down and taking a bite from the untouched lunch and talking to his friends as if nothing just happened.
"Same, I mean, the Candor cafeteria was so loud. And then you walk in here and it's like, 'loud? candor? candor was silent as a mouse!'" She laughed, looking around. Her eyes landed on a small confrontation with the guy who'd introduced them. He'd thrown a guy onto the ground with various weapons threatening him, then got back up like nothing happened. "Think that's a normal occurrence?"
"I guess," Lydia shrugged. "We just have to try our bests to not to get on his bad side. Or anyone's bad side, for that sake." She continued to eat her lunch, trying to ignore the fighting. She had only seen Dauntless as daring and bold, not vicious. This was a whole new side, an open door into what Dauntless was really like. "I wonder what they do for fun here?"
“Tattoos?” She shrugged. “A lot of people have those.”
Lydia smiled. "Do you want to get one? I was thinking about a tiger for me, either on my shoulder or back." She looked around the crowded cafeteria. There was one table eating quietly, but the one next to it was throwing food at each other. There was one table across the room where they were all laughing, and another where they all seemed to be playing a card game. Lydia noticed they all had one thing in common, tattoos. The mark of the Dauntless, she guessed.
“Definitely! I think it depends on what kind of tiger you want, like just a head or a prowling one,” she grinned.
Lydia thought for a second. "I didn't think about that. Maybe just a head, roaring. Tigers are fierce, and I hope that's what I am at the end of training. Fierce and feared of." She laughed, knowing that that scenerio had a one in a million chance of coming true. She was a small girl, who has never, ever, climbed up a building for simple enjoyment. She shouldn't be hoping, anyways, she should use her common sense. The sense that told her not to try and be feared upon, that would only bring chaos.
“On your shoulder would be cool, I think,” she said. “I’d want something much more tame - doesn’t really fit in for Dauntless, but like a flower or something. Maybe a Rose.”
xD Yo can I have Adrik end up being your Tattoo artist lmfao I am just picturing him all like Imma kill you, and then a second later he is getting all excited to do like a flower on someone because nobody ever asks for that.)
//omg yes
(lol that would be awesome)
"Rose. That would be pretty, any particular reason?" Lydia asked Jayden.
“It fits in with Dauntless and the flower theme,” she explained. “I really love flowers, and roses can be dangerous. Their thorns hurt. Like a lot. Have you ever been pricked by a Rose?”
"Yes. My brother dared me to pick the most beautiful flowers from my mother's garden. I told him no, and he said I was a chicken. Long story short, I won the dare, and had to explain to my mother why my finger was bleeding." Lydia laughed at the memory.
Adrik passed his leftovers to a purple haired boy, patting a few of his friends on the back and leaving the cafeteria and heading to his tattoo parlor. He took of his jacket, rolling up his sleeves, his muscular ink covered arms exposed now, allowing him to cool down.
"Well if it's decided we're going to get tattoos, and we don't have anything to do today, want to do it right now?"
Lydia nodded. "Of course!" They stood up and tossed the remains of their lunches away (which weren't very much) and headed to the tattoo parlor.
((I hope you don't mind me saying this, like both of us going somewhere, cause it seems just a bit controlling. Just tell me if I shouldn't do that anymore.))
//it’s fine!
Jayden poked through some pre-existing designs. “I guess Dauntless isn’t big on flowers,” she grinned.
"No, no, here's one." Lydia found a tattoo of a small vine of flowers encircling a skull and crossbones. "Although it's not really what you wanted," she said, laughing. "Tigers, apparently, are widely requested," Lydia added, seeing at least three of them within ten seconds.
“Whatever the case, I’m sure the artist has seen a Rose before. Hopefully. Hey, here’s a cool tiger,” she said, pointing to an orangey gold one.
Lydia nodded in agreement. She showed the tattoo to the artist, who just happened to be their instructor. Oh great, she thought, my skin will be permantly inked by someone who seems to not have a heart.
(and now I'll just wait for @Mark_Is_Male, who will probably be around in a couple of hours idek.)
//I’m a couple of hrs, I’ll be asleep xD
