Beatrice could never see herself becoming used to here parent's absence. It was just… strange. Then again, everything about this place was strange. "Why don't we go check out the compound and meet everyone?", she said, to try and change the subject.
"Sure thing." she nodded.
Beatice walked in and her eyes immediately landed on a large pit with a waterfall flowing through it. "What's that? It's beautiful!"
"The Pit." Claudia said. "It's sort of an entry point into the compound, where the chasm is located. The waterfall. It's a very common place for suicide."
"Suicide?" Beatice echoed back. "But why?"
"Some people get tired of life. I dunno." Claudia said, looking towards the deep pit.
"Nobody committed suicide in Abnegation." Because it was considered selfish, but she didn't mention that.
"I'm not surprised. To take your own life doesn't affect you nearly as much as it affects others." Claudia said, her face full of sympathy.
(Sorry)
"Yeah…" Beatice decided to change the subject again. "So where do we eat?"
"Allow me to show you." Claudia joked, leading the way to the cafeteria.
"Alright!" Beatrice chirped, happy to have changed the subject. She trailed after Claudia.
"Welcome to food paradise. Have a muffin." she said, snatching one off a nearby table.
"Okay, thanks." She took a bite out of the muffin. It was delicious. "Wow… we never had this kind of stuff in Abnegation."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" Claudia asked.
"It was considered selfish…"
"But how? Muffins are holy things! If anything, you should have been devouring them."
(Do you wanna meet the instructors and go on to initiation?)
"I don't know. Abnegation is sorta strange, but either way it was how I was raised."

"I don't know. Abnegation is sorta strange, but either way it was how I was raised."
(Sure) "Everyone has their quirks. But seriously, the only time eating muffins is selfish is when Pete- never mind." she said. Craptastic, I almost told her about the warehouse. she thought.
"Huh, okay." Then a young man came up behind her and Claudia.
"Hi, I don't think we've met before. My name's Four."
When Claudia saw Four, she started to internally scream. Dammit, hot guy alert, dammit!
