4082 sat in the middle of his cell quietly, his eye fixed on nothing, just staring ahead. He was listening closely to everything around him. It was an enclosed room, the only way to see into it was through a two way mirror. His bed was neatly made and all his plants had been watered. He was hard to follow at times. You couldn't tell if he was actually doing something else or not. Sometimes he would just stop time and do something else, returning to his spot in the middle of the room before letting time go back to normal.

Harley, seeing Camilla was awake, walked off, writing furiously in her note log.

Julius pressed herself to the wall, walking along it and sniffing at every crevice her nose could reach. She prodded and clawed at the metal, but only succeeded in leaving small markings in the paint. Fox moved ahead of her, yipping at a part of the wall where a large oak tree was painted. Julius joined him in front of it, but she had no idea what he was going on about - it seemed no different than the other parts of the walls. The little fox started pawing at the paint, still barking, so Julius sniffed at it curiously, her ears picking up muffled sounds of movement from behind it. Was there another door here? She knew the humans let in live prey for her, but the cell lights went off every time, throwing off her vision for a few moments. She never knew why they did that, though sometimes she thought it was so she couldn't try to attack whoever was letting the food in, but she always thought they were using the same door the humans themselves entered through. She was guessing otherwise, now.
She growled and pressed her paws against the tree, moving them around slowly. She felt a crease in the wall and followed it up, across, then back down. It felt like the right shape…and there was the slightest blow of air coming through the slim lines. It was a door.
The top of the outline was a bit below where her head stood, so she'd have to duck down, but she could fit through if she could figure out how to get it open. Maybe she could wait until her next feeding time.

Finally, Harley looked up from her notes. She had finished them, and was closing up her note log.

4082 had suddenly moved. He was standing by his garden. A low hum sounding through the room. He was slowly moving around each plant. Humming or talking to them. Then he moved to his desk and sat down. He was writing something on his papers.

Ghost wandered the halls of the lab, Melvin Callaghan trailing not too far behind him. Ghost rarely ever left his cell, even though he was one of the few that could. Ghost would flip out if they saw that Melvin was following him, however, so the scientist made sure to keep his distance. Ghost suddenly stopped outside a door, Camilla's, eyebrows furrowing and expression growing a little concerned. The emotions in the air smelled like a perfume aisle in the middle of a feild of dying flowers in a hot summers day. Overpowering, sickeningly sweet, and very gross. The sort of smell that usually indicated a bad mood. Someone obviously wasn't very happy.

Ghost was pretty sure this was a new person, as he couldn't remember anyone having a cell over here, which they supposed would explain the bad mood. Ghost went over to the door and sat down by it. He didn't think he could go in, so hopefully the guards would notice the way he was sitting and do something to help the new Anomaly.

While he was writing, 4082's elbow hit a vase that had a white flower in it. The vase fell. Time came to a stop and 4082 sat there looking at the page he'd been looking at. He looked empty inside at that moment. But no one would know because time was a stand still. Slowly 4082 placed his feather pen down, and turned to look at the vase. It was on it's side in mid air. The flower was falling out of it and the water was frozen in it's droplets on the outside of the vase. Sighing 4082 bent down and fixed the vase. He collected the water in it, and put the flower back. Then he set it back on his desk. After he was done he walked to the middle of his room and sat down again. Time returned to normal, and it was as if nothing had happened.
