Three saw the mantis getting at his table as the cat kept eating, not paying too much attention at first to the male. It wasn't untill he finished his plate that Three looked up at Seven.

"You know, she is a Succes right?... Don't even think of going there." Before staring the mantis straight in the eyes. "I can make it work with Thirteen as I know how her good... But One seems different." As the feline was giving advice to Seven, hoping that he was correct in assuming that he liked the other.

As he gave the advice, his gaze focussed to Two. The male seemed to be daydreaming and somewhat annoyed or in pain. Three nodded to Seven and walked over to the Successes. "Two?..." He asked, a bit concerned, yet he smiled to Thirteen. Three knew that he might not be allowed here, but still. "Did they keep him sedated still?!... He looks like crap at the moment."

One simply sat quietly eating her breakfast she had to do so much faster than most other subjects and had to make sure she cleaned everything she placed to her lips well before giving it back to the staff to clean. Glancing up just a few times during her meal her fringe always covering her left eye. She offered a smile to Seven as he looked at her and a nod to Three simply letting them know that she did know they were there.

Taking the cloth mask she wiped down rim of the glass as well as the knife and fork making sure that her corrosive venom didn't have time to settle against the items and dissolve them slowly.It was a strange effect that her saliva produced, it wasn't as strong as an acid but it was corrosive and could eat though metal in time but it would take some time to reach that point. It would eat though cutlery in 15 minutes after use if it wasn't cleaned, on skin and biological compounds her corrosive effects were much much more visible. Instantly burning and irritating the skin it touched, although not deadly the sensation would be that of having a hot iron being held against the skin. Lucky for her it only became deadly when reaching another creatures blood stream, the venom would mix with the hemoglobin in the blood and corrode their cardiac muscles rapidly leading to heart failure within a hour.

Having made sure that the cutlery were clean she slid the black cloth over her face and making sure it covered her mouth once more before the picked up the heavy plastic composite mask and clipped it back into place so that she would not get into trouble again. Taking a few deep breaths though the heavy black mask she nodded to herself as if shew as reviewing some mental checklist. Standing up and carrying her plat and cutlery to the drop off point she went back to the table where the other successes were seated.

I nod in acknowledgement at Three as he gets up to go check on two. I simply just stay seated, waiting for the usual morning announcements to see what training I had today.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen waved over to One, smiling wide. She had always admired her face. The reptile was pretty, she thought, more so than herself. She was jealous at times of her sleek design, but was gracious enough not to let it show. She purred seeing her friend, and hoped that she would get to speak more with her before being assigned her test for the day. It was as if yesterday had never happened. As if she had never been beaten or punished. The only sign was her ear, still having a chunk ripped from it, but she thought it gave her character. Like her stripes. It made her an individual.

[Suzumibachii]

Sitting down close to Thirteen she smiled under the mask "Hey Thirteen." before turning her attention to the dazed Two. "What ever they gave him its definitely still in his system. Two...Oi! TWO!" she called out before leaning back and looking at Thirteen again decided that hse would make some conversation and wait for Two to snap out of it,besides once training started for the day there wouldnt be much time for idle chat chat.

"How did you sleep Thirteen? You were very...stressed yesterday." she said not really hiding anything as her eyes glanced over the feline's face, the slight grin on her face visible as she poked at her side before glancing back at Seven just to make sure he was still doing ok.
The reptile's scales were still a little dull from the events of the day before but  had gotten back some color, her attention turned back to Thirteen though. She could see that hse had a better control over her abilities at the moment that yesterday.

The cat began to notice that the others were avoiding him, or not truly recognising his presence. Not that it minded, most were Sucesses so they wouldn't really have an interest in talking to him.

Even Seven got more response then Three got. As a result he just shook his head and walked back to his previous spot.

He pondered on the wings still a little and on the nightmares he has had. Perhaps it meant something, or he was just overstressed, whichever of the two he couldn't say...

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen reached around to pull One into a hug, purring to herself. "I'm great!~ I'm just lad that you look as good as ever. You've always been the prettiest of all of us, y'know. How's life been treating you this morning? Anything new? Who do ya think you'll be testing with, if you'll test with anyone? Ooh, I hope we get to test together again! That was really fun!~" She giggled to herself, almost bouncing with energy.

[Suzumibachii]

Blushing slightly as she felt Thirteen pull her into a hug, the scales on her face visibly getting tinted  a pale shade of rose before she giggled with a smile. "My My Thirteen you really are the bundle of energy in the morning." She looked over at Three for a second in acknowledgement of his presence as well as to taunt him ever so slightly. "Hmmm I wonder how we will get paired" completely ignoring the compliment or at least not reacting to it since she didn't truly agree with it. "Since im not longer the same type im not sure what pairing they will think off for me, but I wouldn't mind if it was you again. Yesterdays training was really fun."

[Lavender_Stripes]

"I hope I didn't hurt you too bad..." She sighed, her smile fading for a brief few moments. She followed One's eyes for a brief moment, but shrugged. She didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "Man I am so excited. I love stretching my legs!" She stretched her arms a bit for emphasis. "You think we'll ever, like...graduate from training or something? Like, actually be useful..? I'd be okay at assassination I guess."

[Suzumibachii]

One giggled softly as she looked at Thirteen. "Hmmmm trust me you did hurt me too badly, it was my own power that did the damage. That's why im no longer a Hermian." Looking around before tapping on her mask for a moment thinking. "Maybe, I do hope so, but the administration knows what they are doing. Isnt that right Two?" she called out trying to snap him back to the land of the here and now.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"I suppose." She shrugged, smiling at Two. "You alright, Two...?" She knew that he was a rather spacey one. He often would have moments where she couldn't read his emotions at all. She figured it was a vision or something.

[Isoke]

 "You alright, Two...?"
 
 “No…” He replied absentminded to Thirteen’s question, but revised himself once fully returned to the reality around him.  “Er, I mean, yeah…  I’m fine.  It’s nothing.  Just got lost in my thoughts there.”
 
 The fox’s eyes flicked around the room, his body still edgy from the fading rush of adrenaline that still laced his blood.  Eventually his gaze landed upon Three and held there for a moment longer than it had the others.  It was then he decided who was going to be the first of his peers he would confide in.  Of all of those present, he was surely the most eager to break out of the facility; or at least had been the most eager before Two had his vision.  Not only that, but Three was the least likely to sell him out to the doctors or guards.  Not because he was a Failure, rather because he resented the staff so much that he was willing to embrace the hardships of being one when he could just as easily be a Success.  Whatever his motivation for doing so was irrelevant at this point, so long as he had his support and discretion.
 
 Two lifted his hand in a casual friendly wave to Three, accompanying it with a matching smile.  A polite gesture intent on averting any miscommunication that resulted from his lingering gaze.  Now was not a good time to speak on this matter, but he would be sure to track him down in the immediate future.

Three saw the wave from a distance as he was snapped out of his thinking. He looked a bit confused that Two suddenly waved at him for no reason. Perhaps the male had some drugs in him that made him react much more slowly then normally.
Not wishing to seem rude or anything, he moved his hand upwards and made a small gesture to note he had seen the other. Bit when Two just remained stationary, the cat looked back to his own paws before sighing softly. "I'm done here." He said irritated before standing up and moving across the messhall.
 
He nodded towards Seven, winked at Thirteen, growled a bit at Five and waved towards Two and One, before leaving the facility.
 
As the walk to his room wasn't too far off, the feline pondered upon taking a shower. They were public showers, but at least it was better then nothing. And one of the few area's where no camera's were. At least when one used warm water, the thick smoke it created was enough to obscure anything that might be spying anyways.
As the decision was soon made, the cat walked to his room grabbed a towel and some gear. Pulled off his clothing before wrapping a towel around his waist and made his way towards the showers.

[Suzumibachii]

One smiled when she noticed Two snap back to it, looking at the odd gesture he was making at Three she smirked before getting up, and walking towards the door, just behind Three. "I need to go attend to some warm ups, will see you all on the testing grounds." her voice was a little distracted as she made her way out of the mess hall and directly to the rec room.

Getting on one of the treadmills she started a brisk jog with bursts of speed mixed in between, her usual practice but of course this time around the bursts of speed were much lower than the days before. Her mind swirled with random thoughts as she didnt really focus on anything in particular. It wasnt ideal but when running and practicing she felt at peace.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen edged closer to Two, her tail swaying with concern. She knew what his plan was. It was her gift, after all. She tensed with his stress and adrenaline, and gave a knowing nod. Her finger hovered over her lips. She wouldn't say a word. "I know what's eating at you. Kind of. I don't know exactly, but...well...it's safe with me. Three, too." Her voice was nothing more than a whisper, and she reached out to give her friend a gentle hug. Her ability to know motives and emotions made her a living lie-detector, but it also made her someone to talk to. She just wanted to help. That's all she ever wanted, really.
