"How many people are here?" Sebastian called loudly. He stood but decided not to move otherwise. Just in case. Also just in case, he pulled his gun from the pocket dimension and held it behind his back.

Natalie glanced at the faucet jutting out of the wall, slowly dripping water into a bucket. She glanced at the figure a few feet away. "Well, from what I can see, there's you, me, those two girls, and that guy over there." She said, gesturing slightly to each of them in turn.

"And does anyone know where we are or why?" Sebastian said, struggling to keep his emotions in check.

David stood up slowly. He looked around and looked back at the guy who had spoken. "Maybe its a social experiment?"

Kiki looked from person to person as they spoke, like watching a sort of intriguing yet confusing tennis match. She tugged at the edge of her own shirt nervously, picking up on the confused emotions of those around her. It was overwhelming, her pressing her hands to her head to somehow fix it. To no avail, of course.

Natalie looked at the white haired girl, and tilted her head slightly. "What's up with you?" She asked. "You got a headache or something?"

Kiki didn’t even have to read the new girl’s mind to see the skepticism and distrust. But she couldn’t help it— reading minds was something Kiki did involuntarily.
She nodded her head, bringing her hands down and lacing them behind her back. Her hair bobbed with her, her horn clearly visible.
Then she looked back up at the girl who had just spoken, a new light in her eyes.
“Do you know where I am?” she asked politely.

Natalie shook her head. "Not in the slightest." Her eyes landed on the horn. "What's that?"

Kiki shook her head.
“I dunno,” she answered plainly. In all honesty, she really didn’t have any clue.
“It just helps me with… abilities? I th-think,” she said, doing an involuntary little stutter. “Mommy never told me.”

"Abilities, huh?" Natalie repeated. "What about you guys?" She turned her gaze on the others. "Does anyone else have abilities?"

So there were four others, Aiyana concluded to herself. That was great. And it looked as if the little girl was the youngest out of the four, meaning the other three were probably a lot closer to her age. She took another step away from the little girl. She couldn't help the fact that she hated social interaction. That was the way she was brought up. Talk to no-one, trust no-one, and fight anyone who stands in your path. Her 'mother' had affectionately called her "my little soldier girl." And while Aiyana had always hated that nickname, she had come to accept it as a loving gesture.

"Yes." Sebastian said simply. He had finally realized how old Kiki really was and felt a bit worried. This might be dangerous and a five year old would be in danger and slow the rest of them down.

Natalie nodded at him, then looked back at Kiki. "What's your name?" She asked softly, not wanting to scare the girl more than she was already.

The girl looked around, continuing to read their minds. A lot seemed to dislike her, which she wasn’t too pleased about. But they had previous notions. So who was she to blame? She’d show them her power with time.
“I’m Kiki,” she said softly. “What about you, miss?”

"Name's Natalie." The winged girl responded. She turned to the others. "I guess since we're stuck here, it wouldn't hurt to learn names, right?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Sebastian." He said automatically. He shook his head, "Wait, no! Sorry. I'm used to official introductions. Just Sebastian." He looked a bit upset with himself and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

She gave Sebastian an amused smirk. "Sebastian. Got it." She looked at the other male expectantly.

David raised his hand wearily. "David Menser, at your service."

"Alright. So that just leaves…" Natalie turned to the girl in the bright dress.

Aiyana grumbled softly to herself. Great. Now she was expected to introduce herself? "Aiyana," she mumbled under her breath, glaring at the girl who had been waiting for an answer.

Natalie arched her brow. "Okay then. Welp. I'm just gonna find a way out now." She looked at the old stone wall, and with a wave of her hand, she lifted the water from the bucket, and began searching for a weak spot in the wall to break through.

"There's a door." Sebastian said pointing, still not moving from the wall.

"…Oh…right…." Natalie muttered. She dropped her arm, and the water fell on the floor. "Yeah…probably should've noticed that…"
