Perching on the edge of the branch, Katia spread her russet wings and leaned forward, planning her actions. Taking a quick breath, she jumped off the branch as high as she could, gasping as her heart leaped into her throat. As she beat her wings hard, she concentrated on keeping the strokes even and her wings spread wide, but after only a few seconds Katia realized she was heading down rather than up. "What'do I do?" She yelped. Though she wasn't rising, at least she wasn't plummeting. Slowly drifting to the ground, she landed in at awkward heap on her knees, her wings still open and half curled around her, half laying on the ground.
"Not yet, to both of those." Reed answered, heading back over to the table before changing his mind and flopping into one of the chairs in the living room. "There's probably still some lettuce in the garden if you wanna look." He suggested, unsure if any of their other plants had produced fruit yet. Maybe we should try to get some chickens. He mused as he often did. The only problem was that none of them knew where to get one, or how much it would cost.

Elliot let out a small giggle, happy that he was high enough that she wouldnt be able to hear the small sound of amusement as he coasted down. "Y'werent flapping your wings hard enough. You have to push all the way down and all the way up. If your muscles don't burn then you weren't doing it right. Try to get a running start, and jump. Maybe that'll help?" He suggested, eyes bright and panting softly from trying to stay in place. He coasted down, barely flapping as he stumbled on his landing. He landed on his feet for a moment, before tripping and falling flat on his face. He propped himself up on his elbows, green eyes glittering mischievously as he waved his hand in a "go on" gesture. -- (You steal them, Reed. You steel them) Twist shook her head, scrambling onto his lap like she always did after a nightmare and settled down there, still shaken even if she wouldn't want to admit it. This time her dream had the cabin in it, and the erasers had taken her from her room so she really didn't want to be left alone yet. "When are we gonna go to the city? It was fun there. Lots of people," She asked, looking up at him curiously, not focusing really on the food aspect of their problem. "I bet we could get fruit bearing plants there. Peaches and avocados and lemons do good in high altitudes. Wait- maybe not lemons. But the other two do." She added, remembering it from when she was reading a little non fiction book the night before.

(hi guys) Aiya looked over at Reed and Twist before she slid off the counter and wandered over to them, "don't we have any potatoes? Aniar was harvesting a ton of potatoes yesterday." She said and pointed her her brother who was following her, a slightly confused look on his face at the gesturing. "hmm..." Aiya said before she looked at Twist, "do potatoes sound okay?"

(Cool! I like my name sign better, but potato is a pretty cool sign too! )Aiaya glanced back at her brother and signed what Twist was saying, making it easier for him to understand, while Twist's signing wasn't too bad, Aiaya's was a lot better due to her years of practice. After her brother went deaf, they had both learned to sign to help him communicate with everyone in general, and now it was like their first language. Aniar watched both girls sign before he grinned and offered to pick up Twist, "I don't know yet," he replied cheerfully, "how about we go hunt some of them down before we fry them? After all, we need the potatoes if we're going to fry potatoes right?" He liked to cook, it was a well-known fact about the deaf flock member, cooking had been something the twins enjoyed from the moment they were introduced to it. (Is it possible to have a flock member from the original group being a 'lone wolf?' it would be kinda cool in my opinion! )

(yup! my older brother and two of my cousins are deaf! my name sign is a y held to the upper left part of your chest and shaken) Aniar pretended to stomp toward the kitchen pretend growls in his throat as he pretended to be a wild animal as they went toward the kitchen. Aiya laughed and darted past her brother to search in the cupboards and fridge for the remainder of the potatoes that Aniar had collected and washed yesterday. 'slow slug!' She teased her brother with a sign as she searced for the potatoes. "I'll set the monster on you," Aniar shot back at his sister as he deposited Twist on one of the counters, "she'll eat you Aiya."

Katia huffed a sigh and stood up, giving her wings a few flaps to realign the feathers before turning away from Emmet and running towards the nearby hill. Unlike her wing muscles, her legs were strong from testing at the School, and within a matter of seconds she had reached the edge of the hill and flung herself off the top. Beating her wings hard and steady, she managed to hover for a moment before dropping slightly, the tips of her feathers brushing the ground, only to begin rising in height and was soon at the bottom of the thicker tree branches, as high as she could go without getting her wings tangled. "I-I'm doing it! I...think." She called down, before shifting her wings to try and fly forward. After only moving a few feet she lost her balance, dropping quickly before steadying herself out near the ground and landing more gracefully than she had the first time. "Maybe we should try walking to the city...for now..." She suggested, her wings already feeling like jelly from the strain.

(That's awesome!! I just started learning sign this past semester. There was a class at our local library, so my roomie and I decided to take it (my roomie wants to be a teacher at Deaf schools or be an interpreter but she's leaning towards the first) and so we get to practice signing with each other :3 I might take classes in the summer but she went home so it'll be harder to find someone to practice with during the week.)
Twist let out a squeal of excitement as the teen started acting like a wild animal. She giggled as she was put down, realizing that the 'monster' was her and she stood on the table and made her hands into claws. She let out a small "grr", standing on the table to make her loook just a little bit taller. -- "Yeah, maybe we should walk, we'd burn out too fast if we tried to fly that far, I guess," Elliot said with a sigh, although he didn't blaim Katia. She just really seemed to struggle with flying, and he wished he could help her more. "Well, onward then!" The small teen said, his slightly sad mood changing within a few moments as he shot forward, excited to make it to the city. Maybe they'd be able to live there, and be like normal people. Maybe he'd find a cute guy there, too, and he'd have lots of money so he could just pay people to keep the Erasers away.

Is this still open?

Post by Brindleface on May 30, 2017 18:44:12 GMT -5
(Yup!)
Katia nodded in agreement. As she followed Emmet towards the distant city she couldn't help wondering how normal people lived. Were Schools common? Were people like them common? All the whitecoats looked and acted very similar, and she was excited to see more variety, like she did with the mutants she had lived around. Maybe she'd even see a real kid like herself! She amused herself with these thoughts as they made their way through the trees, and after not long she felt the soft pine needle under her feet change into sharper sticks and leaves. Looking up, she saw that the trees themselves had also changed. Instead of needles they had broad leaves, like much bigger versions of the herbs she sometimes found in food at the School. As she watched them in wonder, Katia barely noticed that the trees had almost ended. It wasn't until the not-so-distant sound of cars brought her attention back that she realized they could finally see more than forest.

(Also I just forgot to mention, if you want to make a girl they'd have to be in the original flick and if you make a guy they'd have to be in the new flock, to keep the genders even ^^' Sorry if you were going to do something else.)

Ruby-15- female Ruby is a small girl, only coming to a height of 5'2". She has very pale skin, the result of being locked in a cage for most of her life. She has short hair in a bit of an uneven bob cut, which is mostly black, but fades to a dark scarlet red at the ends, the result of her bird DNA, which is that of a robin. Her eyes are a bright silver-gray. Like her hair, her wings are feathered in mostly black, though each feather is rimmed in red, with the thin band of color more noticeable toward the back than in the front. Her wings are sleek and slender, built more for speed than strength. She almost always wears a bright red hoodie that she nabbed from a chair as her group was escaping "because I liked it." She also wears a pair of faded blue jeans and a pair of battered black sneakers with red laces. Ruby is rather awkward socially, but she's friendly and always willing to make a new friend, even if it makes her uncomfortable. She thinks of her group as her family, and cares about them deeply. She has the power of speed, and when she uses it it looks like she's pretty much a red blur, but she can only use it in short bursts and has to rest after a while. Bisexual. Salted Squid - original group Here she is! Also would it be okay for her to have speed as a power?))

Sounds good!))
Ruby was, as usual, the last of the flock to wake up that morning to sunlight streaming in through the window. She stirred, rolling from her back onto her side as she heard the sound of speaking and laughter coming from the kitchen. For a moment she lay still, then sat up groggily, yawning and stretching on the edge of the bed. She allowed her wings to unfold, stretching luxuriously behind her. After a few moments she stood, smoothing out the wrinkles in her hoodie and running her fingers through her hair as she exited the room and made her way down the hall to where the others were. "Morning," she greeted sleepily, flopping down at the table and propping her head up in her hands. It was easy to see that she had slept well, because her hair was a tangled mess, despite her efforts to smooth the short strands.

"Whoa- Kitty, look at this!" Elliot screeched happily, darting forward to the end of the forest, still hiding behind some bushes as he peeked out beyond it. There was a large road, with the same black substance that the van at the school drove on. That meant they were getting closer to civilization, which made him squirm with excitement. Oh- explanation. Elliot thought Katia was too formal so he thought "hey, the shortened version of Katia is Kat, and what's a Kat? A Kitty!" and Viola a nickname was born. "Look at all those cars. D'you think that some of those people are good guys? Or some of them white coats? " he breathed, wanting to get closer.

Aiya mock gasped, "don't eat me Twist, I'm not very tasty, Aniar is!" Aniar stared at her in brief confusion before she signed what she said and scowled, giving his sister a light shove toward the sink where he was dumping a bowl of potatoes to be washed before he started frying them. "I am just as much skin and bones as you are missy! Aiya rolled her eyes and used the facet to spray her brother, "ha!" she giggled before beginning to wash the potatoes. "gotcha!" Aniar shook the water from his sopping wet hair, his expression hardly amused. "oh ha ha ha Aiya." Aiya grinned and looked over at Twist, "wanna help me soak him Twist?"

Katia felt herself blush at her newfound nickname, not responding for a moment before slowly nodding her head. "There probably are a lot of whitecoats here." She said as she glanced in both direction along the road. "It is the closest city to the School." Turning away from the road and back to Emmet, she pointed down the road in the direction of the city. "Let's follow it and see where it comes to." She suggested.
(This kinda reminds me of that other book James Patterson wrote that was like Maximum Ride, with them finding the road right after they escape the school...I really should read more of that...)
