Hey Chatterboxers! I
Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
Hey Chatterboxers! I
Hey Chatterboxers! I haven't been on Cricket in a while. Some of you might remember me. So since I just got back I've decided to make a new RP! Ok, so it's like an academy for 'special' kids. For example empaths, or people with super reflexes. Basicaly low key super powers. Ya it's kinda corny, but it's fun! So yeah.
Here's my charrie:
Name- Laura Anderson
Physical Description- average height, long strait black hair, sharp blue eyes, tan
Personality- nice, funny, easily excited
powers: empath (can read other people's emotions), and can sometimes control other people's emotions too
Ok, so, the whole thing is the school is trying to turn these kids with special abilities into living weapons.
Laura-
I stared at the wall of my room with the speakers on full blast. I wasn't exactly sure what song was playing. I usually ignored the lyrics. Suddenly my mom banged on the door. "Laura! Someone's here to see you!" I shut off the speakers and opened the door. "Who?" "Just come and see for yourself." While my mom just walked down the staris I slid down the hand rail and jumped down at the bottom. A tall woman with short cropped hair and sunglasses in a suit waited at the door. "Who are you?" I asked. She seemed to glare right through me with those dark sunglasses, like she was testing me or something. "I am Miss Russo of the Academy for Special Children." I glanced at my mom. "What, am I mental or something?" My mom rolled her eyes and sighed. "Of course not Laura! Miss Russo's just talking about, your, uh, unique abilities." "Oh gosh. You mean?" "Yes." "Great. Ok so what's the plan? Take me to a government facility and do tests on me?" I asked Miss Russo. "No. You're not that special." "Gee, thanks." "Go on Laura, you'll be able to learn how to control it." "Yeah ok, whatever." That's when I packed my bags and headed off to the Academy in a dark limosene with blacked-out windows.

Laura-
I watched the screens while the others searched the room. Sora came and stood next to me a while later.
"Nothing. He's not here. Sorry Laura." I kept my eyes fixed on the screens determined not to cry. He had to be on one of those screens. I frowned. Suddenly Lipa walked up.
"What about the cell I was kept in when I was here?" She asked. It was a good enough chance. I tried to change the screen but all I got was static. Lipa pushed me aside and expertly changed the screens so it showed all the cells. He was there, in the one next to Lipa's old cell. I glanced at Sora excitedly. She was frowning.
"It's to easy, he's bound to be guarded." She was right I knew, but I wasn't just going to give up.
Then I'll go get him myself
Without waiting for an answer I sprinted out of the room. I ran toward Lipa's old cell. Surprisingly there were no guards when I got there. It was unsettling. Austin's voice came over the com.
"Laura what do you think you're doing?!" Next came Sonny.
"She can't talk genius, she won't answer." I grinned and took off my com. There was no point in keeping it, it was just going to slow me down. I walked up to where my dad's cell was and realized why there were no guards. It was a voice recognition lock. Only guards and Miss. Russo could get in. This time I went looking for the guards, I knew Sora must be watching me on the cameras so I tried to stear clear of them. Suddenly I saw a guard. He was in front of Russo's room. I had no idea how to control people without talking so I tried to use my mind like Sora did. You will go to Anderson Costikov's cell and unlock the door. He turned and started to walk in the direction I'd just come from. Had it really worked? It had. He opened the door and I flew inside. You will leave the door open and warn me if anybody comes. He just nodded and stood by the entrance holding his gun. I turned around and hugged my dad.
"Laura! Thank goodness! I thought I'd lost you. They told me you were dead!" I shook my head and motioned to my throat.
"You can't talk? What happened?" To partially explain I showed him the horrid scar from the pole. He gasped.
"I knew I couldn't trust them!" I had no idea who 'them' was but it didn't matter. I helped him out of the cell since he was still kind of wobbly and turned to the guard. Go back to your duties. He nodded and walked off. When I turned back to my dad his eyes were glowing with pride.
"You learned how." I swallowed hard and nodded. I hadn't wanted to learn, but now I knew. I could control people's minds. We went a couple of feet before I started to get tired. I wasn't fully healed yet, and my dad was heavy. Suddenly Austin showed up. My dad took a defensive position. He wasn't wrong. If it weren't for Austin's causual clothes he could have been security here.
"It's ok, I'm a friend of Laura's. I'm here to help." When I nodded at my dad he allowed Austin to help him. I walked beside them. We made it back to the room without any trouble, which troubled me. Sora burst as soon as we got there.
"What were you doing! You could have been killed!" She shouted. I grabbed my pad and wrote my answer.
But I wasn't. Infact I had no trouble at all. Isn't that a little odd? Sora looked uncertain.
"Yes, it is odd. This is not how they operate. They know we're here, they're just waiting for the right moment to strike." My dad's words chilled me to the bone. Then again it might just have been Quinn.
"How right you are General Costikov. Too bad the kiddies couldn't figure that out for themselves." Miss. Russo was standing right behind me. I turned around slowly.
"Hello dear Laura, I see you've mastered the abiltiy to control people. This, General, is what we were waiting for. Now that we know, we can take you without any worry of failure. Guards, get the girl, and, throw the others out. Don't kill them, I want them to see the result of our, expirament." I could hear the other's shout things like 'you're never going to get away with this!' and 'We'll get her back!' But hadn't they just gotten away with it? Miss. Russo's guards took me kicking and screaming to a lab where I was strapped to a table and given and anistetic. As things started to fade to black I saw men in white lab coats holding sharp objects standing over me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I came too, my memories were jumbled. In fact I couldn't remember anything after Miss. Russo came to get me at my house. The memories were just gone.
"Laura? Honey are you ok?" Miss. Russo stood over me. It took me a while to bring her into focus, but when I did I groaned.
"Where am I? What happened?" Miss. Russo looked grave.
"Car accident on the way here. Caused by these people." She showed me pictures with names under them. Sora, Sonny, Cassie, Kayden, Quinn, Nyota, Lipa, and General Anderson Kostikov. She put the photos down and sat next to my bed.
"Laura dear, I'm so sorry. These people, they killed your mother." White hot rage boiled inside me.
"What?"
"They killed her Laura. She's dead." The anger boiled inside me. Threatning to take over.
"Why?"
"Because they want you dead Laura. They want you dead, and they want to kill everyone else in the institute. They think I'm some sort of terorist." I knew that was hardly the case. Miss. Russo had been nothing but nice to me. The anger took over and gave way to rage and hate. I glared ahead of me.
"Laura, help us take these horrible people down. Help us by joining forces and getting your revenge." I turned to her, pure rage had taken over my mind. I couldn't think.
"Of course." I said. With that she lead me to a special room to train. I faught and defeated every enemy. I pretended each one was a person from the photos. I was going to kill them. All of them.

OMG! BRAIN WIPE!!!! That is both totally awesome and really really creepy.
Airlia--
I don't quite believe that Miss Russo has managed to do a complete brain wipe on Laura until Miss Russo calls me in to help train her.
I see the hatred in Laura's eyes, but for once it's not for me. It's for the other girls. I want to laugh at the irony of it all, the fact that I'm tutoring her to kill them. She's already been taught tons of things, so I'm really just here to "finish up" her training, as Miss Russo puts it. I make sure she knows how to fight like a spy; using anything and everything necessary as a weapon of mass destruction. I also touch on some more subtle things, how to outsmart someone (which I think is a bit useless seeing as she can control minds) and how to be silent and sneaky.
She learns everything very quickly. Soon we start on simulations; I'll give her a scenario, and a few props from whatever place the fight is supposedly taking place in, and we fight. Miss Russo comes in to check on us in the middle of a hotel lobby fight, and Laura uses my distraction to her advangtage. She grabs a keycard and uses it like a shuriken, it hits me right in the throat. I double over, gasping for breath, and Laura picks up a rather large stapler. My eyes widen when I see the cold look in her eyes. Miss Russo's cruel laughter echoes through the training room, and it's only then do I realize what she's been training Laura as. She's been training her as an assassin.

Ps: Spammy says poet. i'm both impressed and confused. :)

What heppened to Gail and Austin? Is that because she hadn't met them till later on?
(April 16, 2012 - 7:20 pm)
Laura-
"Laura stop," Miss Russo told me. I stared at Airlia, I didn't want to stop.
"Laura." Miss Russo's voice was warning. I stepped away and put the stapler down. I stepped back.
"Good Laura, now you have to go on a test mission. To prove you are the assassin I need." I nodded.
"Yes Miss. Russo." I was led out of the room by some guards while Miss Russo and Airlia talked. Someone handed me a folder.
"This is your target." It was a white-haired man with blue eyes. The name read Congressman Polk.
"You will kill him in under 22 minutes understand?" I nodded. I rode in a helicopter to a meeting of congress. I crawled through the air ducts until I reached a room with all the congressmen meeting. I watched until my target stood to make his speech. I took out a gun. In my mind I imagined the man to be one of the people who had killed my mom. I loaded the gun and fired. It hit its target. The man dropped to the ground, dead. I headed out the air duct and got to the helicopter. No one noticed me. All to busy I guess. I smirked. I was lifted into the air and taken back to the Academy. Miss Russo met me at the entrance.
"Is it done?" she asked.
"Yes, of course." She smiled.
"Good, now get some rest."

THe others were taken from the academy, I don't know where, but Austin and I were not taken, merely held back as they took Laura. I probably should have broken the guard's grip on me and tried to get Laura back, but I felt it was futile.
After the guards let us go I looked at Austin; he looked at me and I knew what I was supposed to do next. I took him by the arm and led him to Miss Russo's office where the guards let me pass without question. I walked into her office and said to her "Here is your son, Miss Russo. Delivered as you wished."
"Good, I knew you would manage to bring him here. Now I wish you to come with me to your new room. You will now be roomed with Laura."
"Yes, ma'am." I looked at Austin and knew he was not thinking what she might do to him but what they had possibly done to Laura. I just hoped he would be all right.
Some guards took Austin while I followed Miss Russo to my new sleeping quarters. The room was similar to the one I had slept in previously except this one was for two not four.
"Your clothes are already here as well as some new clothing for the mission you will be sent on. I will leave you here."
After she left I showered and changed. When in fresh clothes, I went over to the dresser and looked at the new things. I wondered if I was supposed to be going on missions with Laura. I was rather tired from not getting any sleep the night before so I fell asleep.
Once I awoke I noticed it was early evening. I had fallen asleep a little before noon. There was still no one in the room so I went down to the cafeteria for dinner. I sat alone but others soon crowed at my table asking how the mission went. I replied that it had gone well, but the others were probably still asleep since it had been very tiring. Obviously none of them knew about anything that had happened.

Sonny~
After they took Laura away to a certain place, I was taken to the box. And left there for five. Whole. Minutes. It was terrifying in there. Everyone was wearing clashing patterns and they made me eat pork fat. I was, like, screaming. The whole time.
Back in the room, everyone was as pale as I knew I must be. "Where's Laura?" I asked.
Kayden shrugged. Airlia rushed into the room. "Sup, traitor?" Quinn asked her.
"I know I was controlled by Miss Russo before, but my eyes have been opened," Airlia gushed.
I snorted. "No, really. I had to train Laura. I think Russo mind-wiped her and trained her to be an assassin."
"But Laura's so sweet!" Nyota protested.
"Russo told her you guys and her dad killed her mom and crashed a car Laura was in. She's pretending everyone she has to kill is you."
We all gasped. "If this is all true," Sora said slowly, "which we all know it might not be, we need to save her."
"But how?" Nyota asked.
I laughed. "Have any of you read a book or watched a movie lately?" Everyone shook their heads. "Right, you've been in this prison with me. We have to overcome her brainwashing by reteaching her everything. And I know it may sound cheesy, but we may need Austin. To teach her how to love again."

As far as I new I wasn't obligated to do anything this evening, so I went to training feeling the need to release some energy. There were few people there; there wernen't many in the evenings. I grabbed a couple of knives and went over to where the targets where. I backed up past the farthest line; it was still too easy. I grabbed the blade of the first knife and threw it into the bulleye. As I was about to throw the second one I sensed there was someone behind me I turned the handle of the knife in my hand. There was no one there. The people who had been there previously were gone.
Okay, I thought to myself, what is going on.
I walked back to my room sensing someone somewhere following me, but saw and heard no one. I opened the door to my room. Laura was there asleep. I suppose she had come here after dinner.
What did they do to here or say to her to make her stay here and not resist, I thought, unknowing as I was. I undressed and lay down in my bed and almost immediately fell asleep.
(April 20, 2012 - 12:21 pm)
Quinn-
I grinned and giggled. Sonny gave me an annoyed look.
"I swear Quinn, you are so immature!" she snapped. It was funny. Teach her to love again... Best idea I'd heard all day though.
"Are you sure that's going to work?" Airlia asked. "I've actually been with Laura, and let me tell you, she's pretty hard-core evil right now. She almost killed me with a stapler." I giggled again.
"A stapler? Are you serious?" She gave me a stern glare. She looked exactly like Miss Russo. Man she'd taught that girl well.
"Yes Quinn, I am dead serious." My smile faded. Laura had actually tried to kill someone?
"Okay then Johny Raincloud, where exactly is Russo keeping Austin?" Airlia managed a small evil smile.
"He's Miss Russo's son, where do you think he is?"
"A five star resort with a pool?" I asked sarcastically.
"Nope. Cell 45. Same cell where Lipa, and Laura's dad were kept." Wow what was with that cell? Why was it so dang popular? Did you get like a breakfast buffet or something?
"Ok then, guards?" Airlia nodded.
"How many?" Sora asked. Airlia frowned.
"Enough."
"Great! Let's go get lover boy!" I clapped and headed toward the door. Sora, Lipa, and Airlia followed me. Sora turned back to Nyota, Kayden, and Cassie.
"If anyone comes, get out, and or take them out. We have to save Laura." Kayden nodded.
"Got it." The four of us headed out the door and down the hallways. There were five guards positioned in front of Austin's cell. I could sense them. Austin was inside alright. But he was unconcious.
"Ok, Lipa wait here. If we need help you take us up up and away ok?" Sora had gone all commando mode. Lipa nodded.
"Airlia, you stay with Lipa and take out any guards that come as back up." I knew Sora was just sticking her there next to the dangerous Lipa because she didn't trust her.
"Quinn, you and I will take out the guards and get Austin." I nodded.
"All righty then! Let's rock and roll!" I burst out from behind the wall and started taking out guards. I didn't wait for Sora, but she joined me soon enough. We took out all five guards with ease. We pressed one unconcious guy's thumb on the lock. The door slid open. There was Austin, passed out and useless. I rolled my eyes.
"Boys and their naps," I muttered. Sora giggled. I went over to Austin and slapped him awake.
"OW! Quinn!"
"Come on pretty boy! We need you to kiss Laura so she'll stop bein' assasin Laura, and start bein' peace-keeper Laura again!" I could tell he was processing the words slowly.
"Um, how long was I out?" he asked shyly when the words finally reached his boy brain. I rolled my eyes.
"Long enough lover boy, now let's go go go!"
(April 20, 2012 - 9:17 pm)
Laura-
I was asleep when Gail came in. So when I woke up at 5am I decided not to kill her because she wasn't doing anything against protocol. Something nagged at the back of my brain. Like something I couldn't remember. Something about protocol and wings? I tried not to focus on things I wasn't sure were real and focused instead on getting ready in 10 minutes. I strapped on all the weapons and headed out the door. Waiting for me, instead of Miss Russo were the people from the photo's. Including a boy I hadn't seen. He was tall, dark, and handsome. I got the feeling I knew him. I let it go though, I definitely didn't know him. I pulled out two guns.
"Stop, Laura," one of them said. I recognized her from the picture. I thought her name was Sora.
"Give me one good reason," I snapped. Why was I not pulling the trigger already? Because I wanted to be able to remember their last words.
"Because we're your friends," she said. I laughed a short, fake laugh.
"Friends don't kill friends' parents." I growled. She looked both sad and desperate.
"But we didn't kill them! Miss. Russo lied!" I glared in that freaky emotionless way I do.
"I know who's lying." That's when I pulled the trigger. Well I would have, if the boy I thought I knew hadn't rushed up and kissed me. For a second I stood there shocked. Then memories flooded into my mind. I remembered everything. I dropped the guns and started to kiss back. I remembered my life. Laura Costikov. My mother wasn't dead. The man from the photos was my father Anderson Costikov. And Austin Russo was kissing me. I didn't really remember that last part being part of earlier life. But whatever, I was enjoying it. One thing kept nagging at me. One thing I would never be able to forget. That day, training with Airlia, I'd been so mad I was going to kill her. Miss Russo barely stopped me. If I got angry enough, would I do it again?
(April 20, 2012 - 9:28 pm)
Sonny~
When the others were on their rescue mission, I was sent to keep any security guards away with my girlish charms. How Austin was going to get Laura back, though, I had to see. I made my way silently around the corner just in time to see them kiss. Quinn was giggling again. I swear, I am never taking that girl to a rom-com.
Realization swept over Laura's face as the kiss ended. Then she started to look sad. She just kissed a hot guy. What does she have to be sad about? Suddenly, a hand asked my shoulder. I turned around to see Miss Russo's face. She didn't look too happy. "Hey Miss Russo, I was just coming to see you about redecorating those cells," I blurted out, to stall her. "Lola says she has some curtains from her summer home collection I can lend you."
"What were you watching?" she said.
"Some poor girl throwing up. It smelled worse than Lindsey Lohan does after a night of partying. But don't worry, the janitor's already on it," I replied. I tried to steer her the other way.
Miss Russo dodged me and ran straight for the little powwow. "Oh no, you are not regaining your memory!" she screamed at Laura, "Quick! I need backup."
"Mom, I am fed up with you treating your little students like slaves!" Austin shouted. The girls and I all backed up.
"I do this for the good of our country," she sneers, "Besides, they're all little freaks."
"Mom, you have powers the same as them. They'd probably be a lot more willing to help you with your little missions if you were nicer,". Austin yelled. Then he whispered, "Maybe Dad would've stayed."
Miss Russo looked like she was about to break down. This was just too much for her. I smiled, the little cheerleader in me going "Miss Russo! Yay! Be nicer!"
Then she screamed for the guards. And Laura snapped.
(April 21, 2012 - 8:08 pm)
Laura-
I snapped. If I was a normal non-tormented person I wouldn't have. But after everything that just happened I had to. I discovered that I would kill again. I picked up my guns and shot at Miss Russo. Every bullet bounced off of her. I threw the empty guns to the ground and took out two more, emptying them as well. Guards showed up but I shot them. I pulled out knives and threw them. My mind was focused on one thought. Kill Miss Russo.
"LAURA STOP!" Austin shouted. I was not listening. Miss Russo stood there calm as ever and it was driving me up the wall. She gave me a fake smile and said, "Red tide." I stopped. I just completely shut down. I dropped my weapons, and just stood there. Everyone was staring at me. I was in some sort of hypnotic state.
"What did you do to her?" Austin asked angrily.
"When we wiped her memory we implanted a few experimental programs into her. They're all triggered by key phrases. You've just seen a sucessful demonstration of the program set up to shut her down. Every time someone says that, she will completely shut down, unable to move, or think. Giving me complete control.
"Stop. Let her go," Sora said. Miss Russo gave a hearty laugh.
"Oh children, they never listen. Laura dear, be a dear and listen: Gemini." Something triggered inside me and the hatred and rage I'd felt when I'd thought my friends had betrayed me came back. It blinded me. I went into full on attack mode. I turned around and sprang at Sonny. She gave a small shriek, but I knocked her out with a quick blow to the back of the neck. I did the same to Cassie, Kayden, and Nyota. Lipa was trickier, but I finally got her after stabbing a wing. Quinn was easy. She tried to fight, but she was nowhere near my level. I punched her and she was out like a light. There were only two left. Sora and Austin. Miss Russo held up a hand for me to stop.
"Sora, honey, I want you to look into Laura's mind and experience the power of the programming." She smiled evilly. I could feel Sora go inside my mind. The rage doubled.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I shouted. Austin looked horrified, but not even half as much as Sora. She'd seen the black whole that was my tortured mind. She knew how messed up I was at the moment. Miss Russo stepped back.
"No killing please. Just knock them out dear." I roared and sprang at Sora; she never had a chance. A kick and a punch was all it took to take her out. When I turned to Austin something clicked. I remembered the kiss and I almost overcame my programming. I hesitated. It wasn't enough though. I threw a knife at his shoulder, and while he screamed in pain I knocked him out. Unconscious and dead bodies lay around me as I turned to Miss Russo.
"Good job dear. Gemini." And then I was Laura again.
Miss Russo had taken into account every variable. All except one. Every time she messed with my head it brought me that much closer to insanity.
(April 21, 2012 - 10:57 pm)
Hey, sorry I couldn't post, I was on a trip and couldn't get to a
computer. I don't really get what happened, could someone explain it to
me? Sorry :/
(April 22, 2012 - 1:25 pm)
Miss Russo took Laura's memories, and turned her into an assasin, the others tried to rescue her, Miss. Russo has key words that make Laura do whatever she wants so Miss. Russo got Laura back and now all the others are in cells except Gail. I don't really know what's up with Gail if she's evil or not.
(April 24, 2012 - 1:38 pm)
Gail is not evil she is following Miss Russo's orders to try and protect Laura or the people she may hurt.
Gail-
I woke up when Laura started moving, but decided to stay put until she left. When passing my bed she looked at me with something like hostility, why I didn't know. She dressed and stepped outside the door into the hallway. The door shut and I heard muffled speech, sounding familiar. I dressed hurriedly, but decided to wait, since I didn't hear anything like someone being hurt. A few minutes later I heard shouting farther down the hall and I ran out of the room all the people I had gone on that mission with were there as well as Austin. Miss Russo flickered her eyes in my direction saw that I was about to stop Laura, but two guards appeared, grabbing my arms and putting the tip of a knife to the back of my neck
'So she doesn't trust me anymore, not that she should.' I didn't see much of a way out of it since I knew that the guards wouldn't hesitate.
So I had to sit by and watch Laura first try to kill Miss Russo, then succeed in hurting her friends. And I couldn't stop it.
