Nixie's eyes widened in horror. See the doctor? Wasn't it the doctor who drugged her in the first place? Branded her? Did who knows what else that lead to this freakish stuff happening to her body? But she was supposed to be 'playing along'. No. No no no. She couldn't just let herself be dragged off to "The Doctor".

Before she could resist or protest, a voice came from behind her. Nixie turned her head in surprise. Caleb? And Corynn, too. Didn't they hate her? They must, why wouldn't they? There was an exchange of words between Smith and Caleb, and then Caleb lunged.

Smith debated pulling Nixie in front of him. Not because he needed the protection, was a coward, or couldn't take the hit, but because it would teach Caleb and his sister a lesson. Instead, he simply moved himself, with Nixie, out of the way. He motioned for the guards to come forward and sedate Caleb, but Corynn stopped him before the guards needed to.

Smith gave them a warning, and was dragging Nixie along again. She wished the siblings could have freed her now. Her heart raced. What did visiting the doctor hold for her now? She glanced over her shoulder at Caleb and Corynn who was mouthing that she was sorry and had tears in her eyes.

It wasn't their fault. Nothing that happened here was their fault. Nixie put on a brave face, and gave Corynn the the 'okay' sign with her free hand. Better Nixie than Corynn or Caleb. that's why she'd lied in the first place. They had potential. Nixie was just, plain old, can't make friends, no self esteem, waste of space, Nixie. The disappeared around the corner, and that was the last Nixie was seen.

When Smith returned to the first floor, Dr. Heyman accompanied him, along with a handful of guards. They entered the dining room. Dr. Heyman smiled a fake and friendly smile to reassure everyone that the visit was to be of no harm to anyone. "Hello!" she exclaimed. "Is everyone ready for the tour?" Some stood, and some stared. Of course.

"I must remind you all that this required." At those words, the guards stepped forward into the dining room before circling around it. Almost like dogs herding cattle. They would poke at those still sitting with their guns, forcing them up and into a group to begin the tour. Four guards had been sent to retrieve Elaine, Caleb and Corynn, and they arrived just then, just in time.

"This, as you all know is the dining room. Meals will be served here promptly at 6:00 a.m., 12 noon, and 6:00 p.m.. The kitchen is open, too, at any time and the fridge and pantries are fully stocked." She exited the dining room, the guards herding the others along. If anyone would try and speak, Dr. Heyman would cut them off to say, "Please hold all questions and comments until the end of the tour," before continuing on.

They continued until stopping in front of the living room. It was quite large. "This is your living area. As you can see the television is more like a theater screen, for easy watching for everyone." The couch was a giant 'U' shape that would easily fit everyone, with an ottoman in the center. But there were still a few other areas, one beside a fireplace with a love seat and two chairs beside it, another by a bookshelf with another love seat and two chairs.

"You'll see a fireplace there, as well as a foosball table, and a pool table," she was pointing the things out. "There's a vending machine that holds drinks. It doesn't require money, just press the button. Beside it is what we call the breakfast bar. On the counter behind the bar is an espresso machine, and a smoothie blender. There on the bar each morning will be a basket of fruit, as well as bagels."

In front of the granite bar were four bar stools. "They're there in case you wake early, or miss breakfast for whatever reason." She turned to face them all now, looking incredibly proud of herself and LTB. They continued on until coming to another stop. There was a door, almost hidden it seemed, beside the staircase. "That is the library," she said, before continuing to stop in front of the stairs.

The library would be much larger than anyone would have imagined. Once inside, the entire wall that faced the back lawn would be beautiful large windows. The library was three stories tall, with stairs in various places to reach different sections of each level. There were couches and tables and even two fireplaces in the far corners. It looked almost like something out of a Disney movie. Though this was no fairy tale.

Dr. Heyman gestured to the other end of the hall. "Down there are the community showers. They're quite large, and offer more privacy than you might expect. It's also where the spas are located." They would find the spa half of the area with wooden floors. It would be peaceful and seemingly serene. There would be a steam room, as well as a very large hot tub, that waterfalled into another small pool-like tub. The lighting in there would be low and relaxing. Various palmed plants and vibrant flowers were placed accordingly in the room.

The showers half of the area had granite tiled floors. The counters, with neverending mirrors were also granite. In front of each sink was a plush rug. The lighting was bright, and warm. Giving the bathroom, while large and community, a very homey feeling. Towels were stacked everywhere for easy access. Inside the showers were shampoos, conditioners, body washes, razors, etc. Inside the cabinets were other various things to keep one well groomed, something required of all ~~experiments~~ guests.

Heyman and Smith began ascending the stairs. As they reached the second level, Heyman continued on up the stairs. "You all know the second level are your bedrooms," she said, dismissing it on the way to level three. The bedrooms were in fact quite large. They were all painted in dark shades of maroons and purples, with black or cherry wood furnitures. ((You can all describe your own rooms to your hearts desires, as long as they're dark colors and dark furnitures. No bathrooms, and nothing extravagant. All closets will have the same clothes, black pants and shorts and grey tops/jackets.))

The carpets were a deep red with golds and floral print. Nothing too busy and hideous, and not too attention grabbing. The doors were unreasonably tall, as were the ceilings on this level, but Heyman didn't stop to talk about it. She didn't feel the need. Upon reaching the third floor, Heyman stopped to allow everyone to catch up, though no one would be too far behind with the guards herding.

"The third level is where you'll do most of your training and exercising." The top floor was open, creating a huge gym. Any piece of equipment you could imagine was there. A third of the room appeared to be dedicated to kick boxing style training, with a ring included and various punching bags hanging around. There was also a kitchen-like area with a grocery store-like cooler. Inside were various sports drinks, water, etc. On the counter was another one of those smoothie machines, and various racks filled with protein bars, apples, etc.

Heyman walked straight through the gym towards a trio of french doors. She pushed through one set. "This balcony out here is where the pool is located." The pool was a training pool, though there were also lounge chairs around it, including a few tables with umbrellas over them. The balcony was so large, and the pool was so close to the edge of the building, that it would be hard to keep out of the sun there.

Off to the right was another set of stone stairs that led to the roof. There was nothing up there but a balcony of sorts, with a few outdoor couches and one wicker swing. Heyman didn't point that area out, and it wasn't very visible from where they all stood, but it was there.

Heyman lead them all back down to first floor, where Smith took over. "Follow me," he said. They headed in the direction of the community bathrooms, before taking a left turn down a long hall. The hall was bare, aside from the lighting, and was excruciatingly long. When they reached the end, a pair of metal doors slid open. Inside was a small room, a communications room of sorts. It was dark, and there was a single long window, an indestructible window, that showed them all a very very large dome room. It would look like nothing they'd ever seen.

"This," Smith said, "is the simulation room. This is where most of your combat training will occur." He chose to leave out the part about the simulations basically being real, and that any damage they received inside would be real. "That concludes your tour. Any questions?" he asked the group.

((I will link to this exact post at the top of the play where the ID numbers are located, for easy access. If anyone has any special requests for things or items, just let me know, and I can add those, too!

I am assuming Azelf already knows the layout of this place, along with one or two of the others? If I'm not mistaken. If I've left anyone out, let me know and I'll edit to have them rounded up. ^^))
