Lique appeared in his own room. Impossible to get into unless you're him. "You. Are. A genius." He told himself. "The way you set up the room? Masterful." He giggled, flopping into a revolving chair at his desk and spun over to his observation screens. "Why, thank you." He had a habit of talking to himself. Lique found he concentrated better if he told himself what to do. "Should we release the creature?" His fingers hovered over a button. "Of course! Now this. Will be fun."
(may I?)
(of course! You don't need to ask)
Cassia glared at everyone present in the room and backed away until her back was flat against the wall. Taking a deep breath, she slid down the wall, trembling. The brave face she's been putting on? Just a mask. Now, she couldn't take it anymore. A single tear slid down her cheek. "Get away from me, all of you. I just… I just want to be left alone." she hugged her knees together and buried her head in her arms.
Seb nodded to her. He knew he should have left a while back. "If you see Lique, punch him for me." He said before walking out.
I decide I'm not going to leave, I deserve to rot away in this prison. I hear someone run up behind me. I turn to see Sebastian. "What do you want from me?" I say, defeated.
"Who's Lique?" she called out. She couldn't help herself. No-one would tell her anything, and she was sick and tired of being treated like a child, or an inanimate object that was theirs to control. All of them, every single one of them were sick, twisted, and dark, she decided in that moment. Never again, would she ever trust a single one of them again. Not a single human. Ever again.
He stepped out out a corner as he was cutting a little painted picture into his wrist with a small piece of glass.
He dropped it on the floor with a little clang
He let out a deep sigh. About 5'11, Korean very obviously, a black hoodie over his chest with ripped jeans. He looked like he had just stumbled into here from a small town if you were judging by his clothes. He had the look that told everyone "won't you shut it already". And yeah, he was sick of them rambling on and about. He went up to the door, looking at his wrist, a small silhouette of a dragon mid-flight carved into his pale skin. He turned to everyone with a poker face.
너희들은 응? He rolls his silver eyes and blows a thick curl of hair out of his face. 당신은 아직 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는지 알아 냈습니까?

Seb walked with purpose down the corridor. "Nothing." He snapped "Move." He pushed past Sunny and continued down the hall.
Lique appeared near Cassia. "I'm Lique! Hi!" before disappearing quickly again.
Cassia looked up slightly and scowled. But saying nothing else, she buried her head in her arms again.
I watch Sebastian walk past me down the hall. "Look, I know you don't like me, but hear me out." I take a deep breath. "Your people have helped me, a lot. I know this probably doesn't mean much to you but, umm, I just wanted to say thank you, for everything." I go to walk past him. I run my hand down his upper arm. Then continue down the hall.
(so whats happening…)
(dunno)
(oof, this is going super well aha)
The young girl swung up to crouch on the beam, her shoulder length, black curly hair bobbing around her face. The girl studied the one with wings. She seemed to be upset, that would never do, after all the young girl had taken a liking to her. "Miss, why are you upset?" The girl questioned.
"You don't understand," Cassia mumbled. "You weren't the subject of many ongoing experiments. It hurts, oh, it hurts so much!" she started rocking back and forth on her feet to try to calm herself. Explaining why she was upset would take so much time, and oh, it would bring back so many memories… painful ones at that. She didn't want to remember them and shoved them back to where they belonged - the Nothingness that existed as a void inside her head, not literally of course.
As I make my way down the twisted halls of this place, I think to myself. Why is all I can come up with. Why this, why that. I could never just pick a side, could I? I suddenly hear something walking behind me. I can't be sure if I should turn around, but I don't get long to decide. Something grabs me and everything goes black.
"It's not very nice to assume these kinds of things." The girl scolded, "I have too." She stood up from her crouching position and brushed the dust off of her flouncing black skirt and purple leggings, "I just get pain killers, Mr. says I'm lucky to get those." The child's face fell as she remembered what it felt like when those pain killers wore off, " But I figured, if they did experiments on me, why can't I experiment back." Her eye's glinted mischievously, "I have concluded that it takes exactly 5.4 seconds for the monster to eat a fully grown man."
Seb stumbled back into the room. A long metal pole jutted out from his shoulder, sticking out about half a meter either side of his body. Blood flowed heavily from the wound and had already started to pool on the floor.

Cassia averted her eyes. It wasn't the physical pain that hurt. Not anymore, the wounds had dug too deep. Now it was just… it was just… she couldn't even bring herself to think the word. "No," she said, a little more forcefully than she'd intended. "You don't understand," Cassia repeated. "You can't," she added, because that's what she'd concluded based on what little information she had to go on. The other girl's outfit was nice, though, she had to admit. It didn't matter that she was wearing a flower-patterned dress, it was dirty, and all she'd had to wear. She came in wearing it, and she was still wearing it.
Seb stumbled back into the room. A long metal pole jutted out from his shoulder, sticking out about half a meter either side of his body. Blood flowed heavily from the wound and had already started to pool on the floor.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Cassia spotted an pool of blood growing at an alarming rate on the concrete floor. Her gaze traveled upward until they found the source of the blood - Sebastian. Her eyes widened. "What happened to you?" she asked, but she couldn't bring herself to speak louder than a whisper, though her tone carried an edge of worry, anxiety, and fear, somehow all at once.
"Tried to find that exit Sunny told us about. It is heavily guarded. Lique knows what he's doing." He tried to pull the bar out but his hands slipped on the bloody surface. "I've had worse. Literally" He seemed way too calm for what was happening.
Cassia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could do this. She could help someone. Opening her eyes, "Don't pull it out, the bar is plugging the wound. Besides, you probably have some holes in your organs by now," she instructed. She let out her breath, relieved that she'd gotten it over with. "Also, who's Lique?" she added, as an afterthought.
He shrugged and abandoned tugging on the pole. "Lique is that guy that teleported in here earlier. The really creepy guy." He looked at his hands which were now coated in his own blood. "I can't really have a meter long pole through me forever, what do I do with it?"
She shrugged, her face falling, though it wasn't very obvious. Cassia hadn't been in a great mood to begin with. "I dunno, I guess you're stuck with it for now."
"Fun." Sebastian said, not seeming too bothered. "Anything happened with you guys while I was gone?"
