The Testing ☢ The Pain ☣ The Revolt

[The 49th Alias]

Zethina giggled quietly, her smile widening. "Bigger than you can imagine," she tells him, stopping in front of a big podium. The wooden stand stood about waist-high, and five feet around. "I've had the chance to explore this place like crazy," Pepper says with a slight purr to her voice.

Alex slowly exhaled, "Wow," He murmured. "How long have you been here?" He looked at her.with a small smile on his lips.

Maria smiled, closing her eyes a little, "That's good." Suddenly she had a thought, she barely knew Cody, other that he was an elemental who worked for the Government. "Cody, we barely know anything about each other..." She speculated. After a breif moment of thought, she had an idea and lifted her head up so that she could look right at Cody, "We should play truth or dare!" She had forgotten completely about reading some more in the library, and now just wanted to be close with her boyfriend...if he was willing to have her as a girlfriend.

Marco shrugged, "I remember small things from when I was younger, but it's not like I can remember each day, just some of the major events. Like starting school, or falling down the stairs and cracking my head on the floor." He winced at the memory

Myra
Myra looked thoughtfully towards him. She noticed him wince. "Does it still hurt?" She asked, curious as to how a past wound could still be painful now. At least, that what it looked like. There didn't appear to be any blood or stuff on his head, but why else would he wince like that?
Cody
Cody nodded slowly, glad to do whatever it was that Maria wanted to. "What's that?" He asked, trying to remember if he had ever heard of that game before. He couldn't.

[SapphireEdge]

Marco smiled and shook his head, "No, but at the timd it hurt like crazy. That's why I winced...because of the memory." He smiled warmly and turned to look up the hall, "We need to sort out your timetable." He turned to Myra although she was still looking at the pictures. He rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand, giving her a slight tug, "Come on, enouhgh with the pictures!"

Maria grinned, "So basically. I ask you if you want to do truth or dare. If you choose truth, I have to ask you a question and you answer truthfully. For instance, 'Where did you have your first kiss?'. And mostly the questions are very personal, " She grinned, "If you choose dare, then I have to tell you something to do and you must do it, such as..." She bit her lip thinking of somethjng, "Running around shouting 'I'm a loser!' Get it?"

[Thecrowmuse11]

(lolllll)
Cody
Cody thought it sounded a little weird but, oh well... He shrugged, and nodded. "Oka, who goes first?"
Myra
Myra slowly and reluctantly tore her eyes off the pictures, and walked with Marco. She was adding the other puzzle piece to her mental image that was forming. "So, memories of pain can make you feel pain?" She asked, trying to clarify.

[SapphireEdge]

Marco shrugged as he strided along, "Not really, but it's like you imagine the pain. Like if someone gets a bad cut, and you see it, you often wince because you imagine it was you..." he looked back at Myra, "Do you get it?"

Maria grinned, "I'll ask you first. Truth or dare?"

(Have you ever played truth or dare?)

[Thecrowmuse11]

(yep, a couple times.)
Myra
Myra was silent for a moment, thinking. "Yes, I think so." She said. "Isn't that called empathy, or something?" She had read a government approved dictionary, a couple times. It was supposed to make sure she understood all of the directions that they gave her.
Cody
Cody shrugged. "I don't know, you pick." He said.

[SapphireEdge]

Maria rolled her eyes, "Fine, but next time you choose. I pick truth. Cody, are you my boyfriend?"

Marco shrugged, "Yeah, but you also imagine their pain. At least, i do." He grinned and soon enough they were at the office. A lady was at the desk filing. Marco let go of Myra's hnd and walked up to the desk, "I have a new student., Myra..um" He looked over to Myra, not knowing her last name.

[Thecrowmuse11]

Cody
Cody's eyes widened a little, and his breathing hitched. "Only... If you want me to." He said, not sure if she was joking around, or... serious? It was so hard to tell...
Myra
Myra glanced at him, not really knowing why he'd paused. Was he having trouble remembering what he needed? She then looked about the office with wide, curious eyes. Everything was so new, so strange...

[SapphireEdge]

Marco bit his lip, then suddenly realised that she didn't understand what he wanted, "Your second name?" He asked.

Maria bit her lip before nodding, "I'd like that." She smiled and felt a blush creeping into her cheeks. It felt right for Cody to be her boyfriend. Maria and Cody...it seemed to work. '"My turn now."
