Ruben

Ruben let his mouth expand into a bigger smile.
"Welcome," he said.
He tipped his head back against the wall and closed his eyes for a minute, watching red and blue spots dance behind his eyes. He opened his eyes again, looking up at the white tiled ceiling. He suddenly had a weird idea.
"What do you think would happen if one of those tiles fell out of the ceiling?" he asked, "do you think it would just break if it hit someone?"
He grinned and started laughing,
"Sorry, There's my random mind for you."
He continued to look up at the ceiling.

:Dawn:

With a yawn, Dawn slowly rose from her tiny cot, back arching and neck sore as her dead eyes roamed the room. I was transferred... again... She reminded herself as she slowly got up not even bothering to stretch as her lifeless arms fell to her side. Moving towards the small window in her the door, she peered out, wondering when the lunch would be over. Dawn honestly didn't care about anything but one thing; large rooms. She hated them and would always avoid them to the best of her ability, usually succeeding but sometimes failing. Seeing that it still wasn't over, Dawn returned to the cot, gently sitting on it's edge as it began to creak, sending chills down her back as forgotten memories resurfaced.

Carmen

Carmen gave a small smile. "I don't know," She said with a laugh. "Sometimes randomness is what keeps you alive here," She said, getting serious. "If people think you're a joke, they won't necessarily bother you." She thought of her mother as she said this, and how her father had abused her because he liked it when she was in pain. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling dizzy.

"I'm sorry-" She said and abruptly stopped. "I'm not feeling very good."

Ruben

Ruben nodded,
"Yeah, it's always good to keep a sense of humor. Without it, I'm sure none of us would survive."
He crossed his arms behind his head and continued to look up at the ceiling, wondering if there was a hole up there, if they could climb through it and escape. Nah. That was a crazy idea.

"You ok? Do you need some water or something?" he asked when Carmen said she wasn't feeling good.

Carmen

Carmen opened her eyes, trying to get rid of the terrible image in her mind, of her father hurting her mother. Stop, stop! She wanted to scream at him. Then Ruben's concerned face came back into view, and Carmen wondered absently if she was going crazy.

"It's okay. I'm... fine. Just thought about my mother for a second there." She was relieved that there was someone caring enough to ask if she was okay. And she liked Ruben, too. He was kinder than the other teens here. Not to mention handsome.

Ruben

Ruben nodded and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
"I understand." he said.
He'd never had major family troubles himself, but he figured that a lot of these kids did. He couldn't relate on the messed up parents level, but he did have a druggy uncle so...
"You alright now?" he asked.

Carmen

Carmen smiled shakily. "I'm fine." She reassured him. Now that you're here, she almost added. But she couldn't get too close to any of these kids. She didn't know what they'd done, what they were capable of. Yes, she liked Ruben. No, she wasn't going to go kissing him before she knew his past. Although...

Sighing, Griffin didn't really like how Carmen ignored him. He shrugged, not really caring. If someone ignored him, he didn't really want to waste his time worrying over them. Ruben seemed to only see Carmen, so, while leaning against the chair, Grif felt alone all over again. But shifting his eyes, he remembered Jenna as she came into view. He scooted his chair next to her, hoping to seem like he knew someone around here. "So, what's up?" He knew it was a lame way to start an un-wanted conversation, but it was a start.

Ruben

Ruben gave her a kind smile.
"That's good. Can't have a tough girl like you breaking before this even begins. We still don't know what these other kids are capable of." he said. He hoped that he hadn't just made things worse by opening his mouth and just letting the words come. Last thing he needed was getting on her good side and then getting off it just as quick. Maybe he just worried too much.

Carmen

Carmen shook her head with a small smile. "I won't be breaking down," She said quietly. Her voice was low and dangerous. "I will never let them break me." She met his eyes with a strange ferocity. After a moment of this, she softened, as if it had never happened.

"Right," She said. "We don't know what anyone else is capable of. We don't know what eachother is capable of..." She met his eyes again, and her heart fluttered against her ribs. Sh*t, how had he won her this way?! It was Carmen's reputation to be off-limits. She liked to keep moving so nothing could touch her. But if she slowed down... what would happen?
