tune

"Yeah, okay." Wren says, listenin along, grinning at Avrey's closed eyes. "Not my type of music, but I have something else for ya."

He puts on a game soundtrack, the DOOM OST. The first song that plays is BFG Division.

Avrey laughs, grinning at Wren.

“Y-you’ve got interesting taste.” He says, smiling faintly, as his gaze turns back to Taz again.

“Shit…” he says softly, giving Wren the airpod back. “O-one second.” He adds, walking swiftly over to Taz and Addic

Wren laughs. "Yeah, I know."

He watches Avrey walk over to Taz and Addic, curious.

Taz froze, midway torn between walking away or staying in his new chosen spot. He chose the latter.
He looked Addic up and down, evaluating him. He gave his best grin again, showing his teeth. The bag on his shoulder held protectively behind him.

"Oh, just some stuff I own. Im sure your hoping for somethin' far more interesting, huh? Unfortunately, we're not all here for your entertainment. I suggest movin' on, the coffee's awful, so it's probably right up your alley." Taz said with amusement, head tilting. He knew it wasn't much, but if he had any chance of staying in this program, with Dr. Brimstone in the room especially, he couldn't afford to beat this guy's face in. He just seemed to tick him off in ways he couldn't explain.

Avrey slowly made his way over, immediately wishing he didn’t. shit!! What am I doing here?? he nervously inches closer.

“Um… it’s A-Addic, right?” shit… now he knows I was eavesdropping. Shit shit sh-

Taz's eyes widened, and his head turned towards the anxious brunette. His hands relaxed at his sides, and he instead looked very curious. Why does he keep showing up? he thought curiously. Letting him approach and speak to Addic. He let out a breath, back pressing back against the wall, eyes flitting from each person, tracking their movements. His own brown hair was a mess, but he didn't bother to move it from his eyes. Taz stayed silent waiting with amusement to see where this would go.

Addic turned away from Taz. "Yes. that's my name. What's yours?" He looked over this new guy. He was clearly a nervous wreck. Addic traded his Seductive smile for a comforting one.

Avrey fiddled with his hands, glancing at Taz, and then back at Addic. “I-I’m Avrey.” He holds out a shaky hand, teeth clenched. What are you doing!!??

Taz breathed out quickly in a half-snort, he watched Avrey struggle for a moment longer, eyes sparkling with amusement. His lips curled back into his already signature smirk. Taz shoved his hands in his pockets, shrugging his shoulders.

"This is cute and all, but does anyone actually know what's going on? We've been given no instruction? Nothin'? Doesn't any of this strike y'all as suspicious?" He said, slightly exasperated with the rest of the people in the room. No one had continued to ask Dr. Brimstone anything, and he'd been interrupted by Wren when he'd tried himself. His yellow eyes flashed with suspicion, but he leaned back further into the wall, trying to look relaxed.

Addic took his hand and shook it. "It's nice to meet you Avrey." He replied ignoring Taz's comment. Addic looked into Avrey's eyes and winked. "So, tell me," He said to both Taz and Avrey. "What's your favoured color?"

Avrey pressed his lips together, more uncomfortable than ever.

“Uh… I d-dont know.” He starts in his west coast accent. “P-p-probably green?”

He shrugs, hugging his arms. “W-what about you?”

(what a coinkydink)
Apollo sighed into the air, tired of being in a room with this many people, he slipped out quietly and slowly, into another room, which contained a couch and coffee table, along with other chairs such as recliners and he smiled to himself, the only saying come on, stay a while sliding into his thoughts.

He took his backpack off his shoulders and sat it on the floor, it stayed up due to the support from the couch. Apollo then sat down on the couch himself, taking a deep inhalation and exhale. You can do it, you love people, you love being around them, just because one of them is your soulmate doesn't change anything. His inner voice told him.

"Personally, I like a sun set orange. Nice accent by the way." he stated softly. Addic looked around the room, his eyes catching on a guy he hadn't noticed before slipping into another room. "Do you know who that is?" he asked Avrey, gesturing to the man.

Wren watches Apollo slip away, then sighs. If only I'd known earlier that we'd end up being able to leave this area…

He notices a set of stairs and asks Dr. Brimstone "Hey, are we allowed to go up there?"

"Sure. Go ahead. Just find your room." she responds.

Wren grins and heads up the stairs, finding a door marked "Wren Levan". He doesn't notice another name up yet, so he just enters the room.

Avrey smiles. Shoving his hands in his pockets. “Th-thanks. Most people think it’s annoying.” He laughs softly then turns toward Apollo

“I-I don’t know. I h-haven’t met him yet.” He cocks his head, watching both Wren and Apollo disappearing

Taz shook himself, snapping his thoughts from their reverie. The first thing he did was scan the room, looking immediately startled that there were two less people in the room, Wren, and.. the other one he hadn't gotten a name for yet. His eyes widened at the set of stairs, either they'd left or gone up those. Never one to let the competition know more than himself he got to his feet. Ignoring the conversation he'd been mostly zoned out for and headed for the stairs. He was greeted by a long row of rooms with little nameplates. He walked down, reading each one by one. Some of the names were unfamiliar, like Apollo or Tara, but he recognized others. These must be everyones rooms.. He noted the new names until he found his, a little sign placed on the door saying Taz Verman. He tried removing it, but found it firmly bolted to the door. He sighed, opening the door slowly and stepping inside.

"Do you want to come with me to find out?" Addic asked him. and started to move toward the door the man had left from.
