12 slowly began to gain consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes face to face with another creature, she didn't recognize. Maybe one from a different unit? Maybe one from a completely different facility? She wouldn't know. 12 scanned the man hovering over her, he looked like how she speculated she looked like. Black hair with white highlights which seem like they got frosted over, it seems to focus a bunch in the middle of his bangs. His eyes, like 78's, were pick black with a small white iris that stared at her.

“Are you.. Are you okay?” he stumbled over his words. He seemed nervous. Before 12 could nod she heard another voice, a woman's voice. It was loud, that was really all she paid attention to. She hated loud things.

“She looks fine” when 12 looked over the woman, had green hair with black at the roots, it fell to a little bit past her shoulders. Her ears pointed upwards like her friend's 78's did. She seemed to move her ears around, up and down. Her eyes were what she’d think a forest green was. “I mean she could be hurt and just look fine.” she spoke again. 12 sat up and looked between them, then there he was, a familiar face, or bottom half of a face, 78.

“12’s strong.” he replied, his eyes stayed pinned to the door. If he stared at it any longer it may just break. 12 looked up, she was stuck in a room with 3 other people, but it was a plain white room, no furniture no nothing. Seemingly the only color was probably the other woman's hair, which was a green.

As she stood up a speaker turned on.

“12, 78, 9, and 45. This is a test. Get out the room” it said nothing more and nothing less. 12 at first thought, how would they get out if the doors locked?
“Leave it to me!” the woman said as she lifted her arms, with a deep breath suddenly, vines or what 12 thought were vines ripped up from the floor underneath them and wrapped around the door. The woman made a yanking motion and the door came off its hinges awfully quickly. To 12 the green vines snaking around the door were fascinating, she's never seen anything like it. She didn't expect a natural material that belongs to the outside to be green of all colors. The woman skipped out the door, she seemed way too happy for 12's enjoyment, but her gift interested her. 78 walked towards the door, when he was half way he turned and shrugged, then he spun around again as he put his hand into the white pants he was wearing. 12 followed out with the other man behind her.. 78 looked back at the door as he walked.

“Was that it? A door?” he tilted his head to the side in curiosity, just as he finished saying that, there was a room filled with water at the floor. “Or not,” he sighs.
“How are we going to get through water we can't swi-”
12 bent down and put a finger into the water, in the matter of seconds the water froze over and became ice, even the walls, that didn't even have water on them frosted over til the ceiling.

“I meant to make a bridge..” 12 said gently as she tugged her finger out of the ice. She couldn't feel the cold but she knew it was affecting her. As the other 3 made their way over 12 stared at her fingers, they seemed to frosted over when they were not warm. She couldn't feel cold but she felt the gentle sting of the cold.

“Ya comin' ?” 78 yelled, which managed to snap 12 back to reality. 12 nodded as she made her way through the frigid room. As she made the other side, the tall male spoke.

“Should we… Should we introduce ourselves? We.. don't.. Don't know each….other's names..” He seemed to always have to think about what he said before saying it.. 12 noticed how he fiddled with his fingers as he spoke.
“I'm 78. I'm in the Demon category. I don't have subcategory though.” 78 spoke as he took his hands out of his pockets to stretch.
“9! Category; Elf! Sub Category; Earth!!” She seemed to yell those out excitedly.
“44.. I do… don't have...a...category bu..but i'm in the ice sc” he rubbed his arm. He clearly didn't like to speak too much.
“12. The same as him”

She pointed at 44 and continued walking. They followed her. The 4 didn't have much to say about themselves as they don't really have anything they like or dislike. They were just flat, no personality, no nothing. It was the way they were molded by the facility. Every little thing was predetermined. The creatures never had any sort of freedom. 12 looked back at them 9 was skipping along, happy and excited. 78 put his hands behind his head as he walked. 44 seemed nervous as he walked, snapping his head from side to side when he heard the smallest noise or noticed something. He clearly was more of a gentle giant… He was humongous, maybe around 6 foot and youd probably think he’d be more threatening but he was more.. Anxious if anything.

Just as she looked back up they reached a door.. The door rumbled as it opened. What new test could be awaiting them now? What a pain...
