Oliver: *sits in his dorm room, leaving the door open to get a cross breeze on the hot day. He's studying, but his mind is only partially into it. He's supposed to be practicing relaying messages, but he long since cut off the connection to write musical phrases in his notebook instead*

Ellie: *sitting in his windowsill, meows*

Oliver: *Looks up momentarily and smiles at the animal.* Hey there. *goes back to composing*

Ellie: *hops into the room, walks over, rubbing against him gently, sniffs at notebook, paws it softly*

Oliver: *glances at the cat and pats her with his right hand while his left continues jotting down notes* What are you doing? *chuckles*

Ellie: *sniffs at notebook*.....*snatches with her mouth, darts away from him and to the window, glances back*.....*nods head as if saying 'come on~!' then jumps out onto a nearby tree*

Oliver: *Jumps at the cat, missing widely as she makes her way out the window.* What the..... *stares at the cat trying to figure out how to get to his notebook*

Teara: Ellie:....*points a paw towards his door, rolls her eyes, then makes her way down the tree, stares up at him from the ground, sits to wait*

Oliver: *surprised, he runs out the door, quickly making his way to the cat outside.* My notebook, please?

Ellie: *stands and darts away quickly, then pauses a distance away, looks back at him*

Oliver: *Understanding the game now, he walks slowly after her*

Ellie: *leads him along to an area closer to the slums into an alley*

Oliver: *Follows just close enough to keep her in sight, worried about the location, but determined to get his notebook*

Price: [/Waiting in a alley, leaning against the brick wall] [/He see's the kid coming] 'ello there, kid. [/He gives him a small grin, but it's a little forced] I bet yer hell'a confused, an't ya?

Ant: *waiting, wearing a brown trench coat with a blue dress underneath and heels, her hair up, glances over at Oliver, picks up Ellie and smiles at him* Hello, Oliver. *takes the notebook, offers it back*

Oliver: *Raises an eyebrow, truly concerned now. He takes his notebook back* Great. Alone in an alley with some people who know my name..........

Ant: My name is Antoinette Richard. I heard that you have an....unusual ability. Tell me...are you happy with the city as it is now?

Oliver: I telegraph messages. Not that interesting.... The city has its ups and downs.... *checks for Elites*

Teara: Ant:....Oliver, do you know who I am? *knows that her face is on every wanted poster in the city*

Price: It's fine if ya are kid. SIN does a fine job of give'n ya'll candy colored glasses. But it's fine if ya don't, an' wanna play it safe. [/Sighs, relaxing his expression] An' don't worry. No Elites here.

Oliver: I think the council has forgotten what constitutes a person. Yes, you look familiar.....*can't put his finger on it*

Ant:....Let's not beat around the bush. *looks at Price* This is Lamont Price, the cat is Elloise Renard.

Ellie: *meows*

Ant: We're with the Messiah Complex....and we need your help.

Oliver: I......have no idea whatsoever how I'd be able to help you. *looks genuinely confused*

Price: Ya got a special power that can help us kid. A perfect defense against mind readers.

Oliver: I.....*pauses* There can't be that many mind readers out there....

Price: It only takes one to take it all down.

Ant:...*nods* If you don't want to help us, that's fine. You can go back to your quiet life at SIN. But....if you want to help us....we could use it. No field work, no need to actually go on missions or change anything.

Price: If ya walk away, we only have ya keep quiet 'bout the meeting.

Ant: *nods* We just need to know that we can come to you when we send people on missions. We'll text or page you, then you come out, do what you need, and go back to what you were doing.

Oliver: How'd you find out about me? *tries to remain calm*

Price: [/He waggles his fingers somewhat sarcastically] We know about everyone... [/Scoffs] Sorry, kid. We can't spill all our secrets, not till we know yer answer. Ya understand right?

Price: [/He gets up and leans down, for a more 'face to face' interaction] Kid. Look around you. [/He holds out his wrist, showing him the barcode] And look at this. You don't have to trust us, that's why we're giv'n ya a clear option here to run if ya want. I won't say we're 'heroes', because that an't the right word for the MC. But we are people that want whats right, whats fair. People shouldn' be forced to live in the gutters, people shouldn' be treated like cattle, or experimented on, or have their kids taken' away because they can't be 'special' like everyone else. People shouldn' be forced to live on a Island an' be punished for wantin' to go to the Outside. We're try'n to fix what needs ta be fixed. An' you got something we need- but the question isn' if you can trust us kid. It's can we trust you?

Ant: *makes a slight step back to stand a bit behind Price as he speaks but remains close and quiet*......

Oliver: You want me to jump on board. That's fine. I'm a SIN student, though. The Elites know everything you do and more, and they likely won't let me turn and run. What happens when they force me to play both sides? I have limits, and they'll torture me until I give away everything I know if I don't prioritize them to stay in the limits.

Ant: If you ever feel unsafe with the Elite, call one of us, we'll give you a number. We'll take you somewhere safe and help you continue your studies. We won't let anyone hurt you, I promise. And the Elite don't know everything. If they did, we would be dead or locked up.

Ant: They're not as "all powerful" as they like to portray.

Price: This is why you have a choice. Weren't fer yer power, I wouldn't even be here. Because you're a kid. Annies right though. And we will have your back. *grins slightly* Not even the Tartarus could hold us.

Oliver: *thinks a long moment* Hope you don't mind, but I wanna get out of that school as soon as possible. Psychic blocking is a new thing, and if you guys are already after it, I probably don't have much time. I'm not joining them.

Ant:....*smiles* Alright then. Ellie, help him pack. Pack light, only the necessities. We'll meet you back here and get you out.

Ellie: *jumps out of Ant's arms, shifts to her human form and stretches, winks at Oliver* Let’s get to work then, cutie~

Oliver: *nods at Ant* One more thing. Is there anyone in particular I should be in constant contact with?

Ant:.....We'll give you more information once we're safe.

Price: [/Nods,. he gets up, sighing slightly] An' try not to worry about it. Like she said earlier, we won't expect ya to fight or nuthin'.

Oliver: *nods* That's fine. *turns to follow Ellie back*

Ellie: Stick with me, kid. We'll go places. *grins and shifts back to cat form*

Oliver: Like back to the dorm? *chuckles*

Ellie: *shakes head, pads along*

Ant:.....*watches them go, looks over at Price* Was this....a good idea?

Price: ...I don't like the idea of recruiting a kid. But yeah, it was a good idea. [/He takes her hand and gives it a small squeeze] Things will turn out fine. We needed a defense like that sooner or later.

Ant:....*squeezes back* We keep him the hell off of the field....I could never forgive Aidric for turning kids into soldiers...I...I refuse to do the same...

Price: An' we're not. [/He smiles reassuringly at her] An' soon enough, no one will have to fight at all. The big bads up there are gett'n scared, so we're doin' somethin' right.

Oliver: *to Ellie* If you want, I can connect you to the network. No need for the cat gestures.

Ellie:.....*ears twitch back to him*....*looks around, shifts back* When I change...things start to get fuzzy. Nothing bad at first but.....the longer I stay that way, the fuzzier things get. I start...forgetting things. Losing myself....I’m scared that...I might take someone with me.

Ellie: Other shifters, sometimes, when they stay too long, they forget everything. And psychics have to bring them back. Sometimes they get pulled in too....if they're not good enough.

Ellie:...so I can't take that risk. *shakes head* But thanks.

Ant: *squeezes back* ......*nods*

Oliver: You can't effect my mind through the connection... It only sends messages.

Ellie:....*shrugs* Mmm. That and...I like the mystery~ *grins, shifts back and trots forward*

Oliver: I will never understand women..... *chuckles*
