"Only children think love is all rainbows and happiness. You two are about as qualified to run this experiment as I am to do brain surgery." He was trembling with rage, but trying to redirect his anger. If he lingered on her words for too long, well he didn't trust himself to not do something idiotic. "No peer review, no dissent allowed, makes me wonder how you even got such a satellite to be cleared for take off. It certainly wasn't done through the national aerospace center, I can personally tell you that. I could easily check into the legality of it all. It's just a phone call away." He tapped the locked screen of his phone with his thumb, still visibly seething. "Wonder which one of you will cry more when your satellite, much like your honeymoon shit romance, comes crashing to the ground," he growled to himself, taking a deep breath through his nose before he continued on with his vitriol. They offered me an out. Wonder if I should take it. Was I REALLY expecting something more than pseudoscience behind this?
He sighed, grumbling. "I'm getting a drink, anyone that's not a minor is free to join me," before storming off towards the bar a few gates down.  "Hey, Babe...? Look, he was really rude, but it looks lke we reminded him of something...should we go apologize...?" Elenara turned over to Tyreithillis and smiled widely. "N o ."
 
"Huh....? Are you ok? Don't let what he said get to you. He'll be over it soon, don't worry!" Said Tyreithillis, worried about the actions of both Elenara and Cyrus.
"Don't worry at all, Darling. Nothing he does will matter. So what if he leaves? He's all bark and no bite. Insulting us tastelessly and then running away.
 
"Who cares what he'll do anyways? Come with me, and lets go for now, darling."
Tyreithillis followed warily. Elenara only called her darling when there was something very wrong.
The scientists had left to prepare some other things for the people who were staying there. Elenara was sure to give Cyrus the lousiest accomidations.
____________
Alraada saw the scientists and Cyrus head off in opposite direction.
She already felt her mood being brought down by the ordeal.
She followed him over to the bar, hoping to see if he was ok.
Wait, what?
She was confused with herself as to why she decided to check on the other...all he was was rude to her.
She headed over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, it's me again..." she said nearly inaudibly. "Those people back there seemed to have said something that stepped out of line...uh... are you ok...?'
she visibly wasn't all that good at comforting people. "I mean, you don't need to talk about it if you dont want to..." she was becoming nervous. He seemed to be on edge.
She wanted to slap herself for going over to him at this time.
((sorry for the odd spacing!!))

He took a sharp breath of air through his nose to stop himself before he continued on with his vitriol, and while it wasn't surprising such a new concept would be tested, he couldn't help but be bothered by the researchers themselves, as well as the shaky foundation he believed this experiment was laid on. They offered me an out. Wonder if I should take it.
He sighed, grumbling. "I'm getting a drink, anyone that's not a minor is free to join me," before storming off towards the bar a few gates down. The scientists managed to answer Aberdeen's questions with surprising ease, although the argument that ensued between them and Cyrus put them on edge, slightly. This wasn't helped when Cyrus completely left the area, looking for someplace to drink. Aberdeen looked to the scientists and back to Cyrus. It seemed like the conductors of the experiment weren't going to try and help at all, so Aberdeen figured they might as well give it a shot. "Uh, cool, thanks. I'll be back, I'm thirsty now, so I'm gonna get a drink with Cyrus.." Aberdeen retorted as she went to follow the man. It didn't take very long to catch up with him, as he hadn't been walking too fast, just more like stomping about. Aberdeen ran up beside him, patting him on the shoulder. "Hey man, it's depressing to drink alone. So I'll join you! Not that you have a choice. I was probably gonna come down and get a drink anyways!" They shrugged "Knowing that we're gonna be here for three months really made me wanna pour the alcohol on now to better deal with their bubbly attitudes, know what I mean?" They nudged Cyrus in an attempt to cheer him up |

'I can talk you know.' Robb'in replied, annoyed that this mostly covered man would do such a thing. 'My name is Robb'in. I do appreciate your love for nature. In a world that many disregard it, you are one of the others.' 'Yes! Save the birdies! Sami will save the birdies and help Robbie!' 'I told you not to call me by that.' Robb'in snapped, blushing. Can birds even blush? Vale laughed heartily at the blushing bird. "Yes, yes! Nature and all that!" He cheered, before his attention was caught by one of the earlier members leaving the group. Something about getting a drink? "Oh!" He said, clasping his hands together. "I'm sorry you two. But there are a few faces I'd like to get more acquainted with!" And with that, he twirled away towards where Cyrus was going. "Hello!" He beamed at Alraada, Aberdeen and Cyrus, but his smile fell when he noticed something seemed to be off about the atmosphere. He quickly slipped into a seat at the bar and rested his hand on the table awkwardly. "Did I come at a bad time?" He coughed out a laugh before clearing his throat and looking away from the both of them. |

Speaking of oddities and anonymity, Ortus's eyes wandered to the smaller man looking over at her shoulder and...checking her out? Those red eyes beaming down at her phone screen caused the woman to scroll faster, finally catching the number. Her finger hovered over the number as she scoped out the group, along with a few passerbys, before swiftly turning around to glare daggers the strange man, flipping her sunglasses to obscure her face again. "I suggest you stop looking at me like that before I call security. I don't appreciate cretin like you thinking of my body as your object to ogle." {CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK (lol not rly)}"Ogle, huh?" Alti muttered, clearly not fazed by the woman's threat. He welcomed her death glare with a smile, hoping to strike some form of reaction from the other party. She seemed so confident that clicking a button and sending him away would really accomplish anything. Please. What could security do? Hold him down? Drag him off? And... beat him if he didn't do as they wished? The smarmy look on his face softened as he drifted off in thought, his cheeks taking on a reddish hue. Alti shook them off quickly, remembering the task at hand: this bitch telling him what to do. He had to mess with her. If she was gonna play hard to get, well... He wasn't about to make it all that easy for her.
It didn't take him all too long to think of the perfect gesture. "Well...." he spoke softly, lowering his eyebrows as he circled around Ortus to get as much of her in his mind as possible. "If I can't 'ogle' at you...." Without warning, he stopped once he was behind her and pressed up against her back, wrapping his arms around her waist before-  "How about I fondle you instead?"He watched as the phone in the woman's hand dropped to the floor. He chuckled. Perfect, he thought as he rammed the heel of his boot into the device. Just perfect. He noticed the argument between Cyrus and the other girls whose names he had already misplaced had now ended, with the scientist retreating to the bar with a few other faces- some familiar and others, not so much -not too far back. Once this little scene was over, he planned to over there, not only to talk to Cyrus again, but to continue the meet-and-greet.

Maicy got shocked with what Alti did to Ortus.
"DID YOU JUST GRABBED HER BOOBS?!?!"
Maicy cracked knuckles in case he was was about do the same to Maicy herself.

She flipped up her glasses, her face expression warped to one of pure rage at the black haired male. She cracked her knuckles before taking the man by the neck and throwing his body against a wall as hard as possible. She sauntered over to the location, cornering him and continuously beating the living shit out of him. Her rage clouded her judgement, pouring all of her attention on making sure Altheroff would be reduced into a bloody pulp, especially if he was into this kind of thing. Even then, Maicy's words didn't reach her in her state. And even if security came, she could easily claim self defense and use her celebrity status. |

They nudged Cyrus in an attempt to cheer him up Cyrus raised an eyebrow, smirking a little bit, trying to get out of his funk. "Heh, yeah, certainly not what I expected," he replied, ordering himself a whiskey over ice. "What do ya want, I'll buy," he offered, sitting on the bar stool and accepting his drink from the bartender, taking a sip. "It's not really the bubbly attitudes that get me though. Well, okay I lied, it's somewhat that," he smirked. "But just the whole experiment seems... ridiculous." She headed over and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, it's me again..." she said nearly inaudibly. "Those people back there seemed to have said something that stepped out of line...uh... are you ok...?' she visibly wasn't all that good at comforting people.

Cyrus took a sip of his drink, jumping a bit as another person tapped his shoulder. He was more than surprised it was Alraada who'd joined him at the bar. "It's none of your business," he sighed, clinking the ice in his glass around in silence. He hesitated before looking back over to her. "You drink, kid?" he offered, ordering a second whiskey over ice for her before she could answer and patting the barstool on his other side. "Hello!" He beamed at Alraada, Aberdeen and Cyrus, but his smile fell when he noticed something seemed to be off about the atmosphere. He quickly slipped into a seat at the bar and rested his hand on the table awkwardly. "Did I come at a bad time?" He coughed out a laugh before clearing his throat and looking away from the both of them. The scientist was surprised at the gathering of people, but he couldn't say he didn't appreciate the company. Even from the chipper luchador. "Nah you're fine. You drink? Hell I'll get everyone something," he shrugged, taking another swig of his beverage and sighing. "Ahh that was a pretty ugly display back there." |

Shit, what do people drink? I don't want him to buy me something if I'm not gonna drink it.. They waved their hand dismissively at Cyrus' kind offer. "Oh no, you don't have to. I have more than enough to pay for myself. I'll mull it over and get back to you on it." Aberdeen sputtered, somewhat clumsily but smooth enough it wouldn't be too obvious After listening to Cyrus' words, it was clear why he was so snarky about all this. Being a man of science himself, something as odd and debatable as 'True Love' and 'Auras' wouldn't sit well with him. Aberdeen shrugged. "I know what you mean. True love. Soulmates. Bah!" Aberdeen motioned for the bartender to come over, and they handed him a twenty "Get me a rum and coke" They ordered before speaking to the scientist again. "The way I see it, whether we actually DO end up with our 'soulmate' or not, we could all use this as a nice vacation! Hell, three months away from bartending is fine by me!" The bartender looked at Aberdeen a tad disgruntled as he handed them their drink. "N-not that there's anything WRONG with bartending....I just..y'know! Could use some time away! Don't judge me!" They shouted at the man, their face remaining expressionless |

"This is some good stuff heh heh...." she said, horribly faking a laugh. She took a huge swig, hoping to get most of it down as quickly as possible. She gagged quietly. Was this how all alcohol tasted? She turned over and saw Ortus beat the shit out of Alti, and her eyes widened. "Oh my...oh my god....: |

Name: Simon Pendragon Age: 29 Romantic/Sexual orientation: Bisexual/romantic Backstory(optional): Single father of a 6 year old daughter. He used to work as a pharmacist but recently quit his old job and is unemployed. He's chipper and likable, the type of person to always have a smile on his face... a bit of a heavy drinker. Physical appearance:  A 'true love' scientific study seemed about as as much as a contrived as things came. Despite that... to a desperate man, it would at least serve as a change of pace. Simon didn't not know if he'd ever find anybody he would love, especially his soulmate, though he was in such a slump at least a change of scenery would do him some good.
Upon making it to the city the the man first veered towards it's streets, having one destination in mind. This was his first interaction with somebody outside his family in months and he needed something help him loosen up... a drink. Simon entered the first bar he found, slipping onto an unoccupied bar stool and ordering something sweet- but not sweet enough to garner a strange look- to help him calm his nerves. The sugary cocktail went down easy- so easy it was quickly replaced with another even more daringly fruity and brightly colored drink.
Simon raised his head. He turned to the man sitting next, his expression first that of surprise but then changed into a warm smile. "So I take you you got a letter too," he said, pulling his folded letter out of his over sized sweater pocket.

Name: Ninette Lauri Age: 26 Romantic/sexual ortientation: Demiromantic, Demisexual Backstory: A florist who lives a very plain vanilla kind of life. Her difficulties with finding love is making it hard for her to keep in touch with her friends and relatives who all have a significant other and children to boast aboout. She may not really believe in soul mates, but she is desperate to feel like she can love and be loved and live a "normal" life. Physical appearance:  ============================================================== ============================================================== Ninette walked hurriedly towards the crowd of individuals who she hoped were here for the same reason she was. She had confused another crown gathering for what she thought was the soulmate match up meet up. That sure was embarrassing, and a waste of at least 20 minutes. Uwaa... please let this be the right people, pleasepleaseplease~ She thought to herself, quickening her pace a bit more. When she arrived she managed to catch a bit of the explanation about the experiments before the two women who are seemingly in charge of things departed. She sighed in relief now that she was sure she reached her destination and was among other people invited to take part in these matchmaking experiments. The thought of one of these people being her supposed soul mate both excited her as well as made her nervous. She let her eyes wander from person to person and was surprised at the wide variety of individuals, each looking like they had their own unique personality. Thinking of her self, she paled in comparison, she was as plain as they came and everyone here seemed much more interesting. No, this is no time for negative thoughts! She shook the thought away. I have to be positive! One of these people must be compatible with me, the letter said so!
Feeling a bit more confident, she looks again at all the people, trying to decide who to approach. She noticed some wandered off towards a bar, it seems. She looked at those who stayed behind and looked in horror as a scantily clad male groped another very tall woman. The action seemingly uninvited and unwanted as the tall woman followed the action by mercilessly beating the man. I... probably shouldn't get involved... she looks more capable than I anyway... Although she did not intervene, she couldn't completely ignore the situation and walk away. Instead she stayed nearby, just in case things escalated any further and the woman did need some assistance. This is turning out to be quite an eventful trip. Perhaps a little too eventful... She crossed her arms tightly across her chest. That made her feel just a little safer in this very unpleasant situation. |

Aberdeen was caught in an unfortunate situation. Shit, what do people drink? I don't want him to buy me something if I'm not gonna drink it.. They waved their hand dismissively at Cyrus' kind offer.

They shouted at the man, their face remaining expressionless Cyrus smirked a little bit, laughing as he watched them bumble with the bartender, taking a sip of his drink. "I have no problem with 'true love' or whatever you want to call it, but it ain't something you can smash together in a lab, or something that can be detected by a satellite. The idea of people being predetermined to be together is ridiculous." He stretched a bit, cracking his neck. "But a vacation eh, I guess that's a pretty nice way to think of it." Simon raised his head. He turned to the man sitting next, his expression first that of surprise but then changed into a warm smile. "So I take you you got a letter too," he said, pulling his folded letter out of his over sized sweater pocket. Cyrus looked over at probably one of the most relatively normal looking people he'd seen all day, raising his glass a little bit. "Yeah, all of us here did. Welcome to the circus," he grinned at him, gesturing to Aberdeem, Vale, and Alraada. Alraada took it warily. It was her first time drinking. "erm...thank you, Cyrus." SHe took a sip and almost spit it out. dear god that's horrible "This is some good stuff heh heh...." she said, horribly faking a laugh. She took a huge swig, hoping to get most of it down as quickly as possible. She gagged quietly. Was this how all alcohol tasted? She turned over and saw Ortus beat the shit out of Alti, and her eyes widened. "Oh my...oh my god....: Cyrus heard the choke from the lettuce head on his other side, looking over and starting to laugh, patting her on the back. "First time drinking, eh lettuce? I would've gotten you something fruity and wimpy if I knew that," he teased, his gaze moving in the same direction as hers as she turned, his eyebrows nearly raising off his forehead as he saw the beat down occurring between the giant woman and the flirtatious stripper. After the very warm... greeting he'd received from the man, he could only imagine what he did to set the woman off. I'll give it 30 seconds until security comes running to break it up. He glanced over at Simon, pointing towards the commotion. "They're part of the uh, experiment too." |

I would've gotten you something fruity and wimpy if I knew that," "I-I can handle my drinks, I'm sure of it! Why not start with the harder to drink stuff right??" she chugged the rest of it, coughing a bit when she finisher, her face visibly tinted pink from the whiskey. "A-And I'm not lettuce!! I'm alraada, You...uh....you couchfucker!" Alraada was already tipsy. |

Aberdeen looked over to whatever the commotion that drew Cyrus' attention away to see that the Alti seemed to be getting the ever-loving shit beat out of him. Without even flinching, they turned back to their drink. "Well." They started "Welcome to the group" They shouted to the other fellow at the table. They turned back to Cyrus, listening to what he mentioned about true love. "Yeah. I don't think the 'true love' or 'soulmates' are a real thing...I mean, I think there are people who are more suited for one another, but that's it. In my opinion, at least." They shrugged "I don't know." They rubbed the back of their neck slightly before tightening their bandana once more. "How about you and I just treat this like a vacation, yeah? I'm sure there's plenty of shit to do in this city if this 'soulmate' thing doesn't work out!" They chuckled before nudging Cyrus once more. |
