Cailyn was tussling and turning in her bed. Bad dreams haunted her mind. It had been a crazy day, all kinds of mutants with open minds passed through and affected her head. People should put locks on their minds or wear strange tinfold heads or something just to not hear them. This would atleast cause her to sleep better. Her room was filled with puzzles that where completed and there was little space left. Her bed stood in the middle of it and it was dark in there exept for a little light that was placed somewhere attop of the big ben 3d puzzle. Her teddybear was already dropped out of her bed. It was a big yellow bear around the size of her upper torso.

She shot up out of her bed and let out a eep. She was scared and she searched for her bear. Left right left right, Where did she place it. "Under the bed." Said a voice in her head and she hesitantly looked beneath her bed. It could be scary monster or something under her bed. She looked anyways and saw her teddy on the other side. She hopped over to the other side and quickly picked it up, holding it again her body with both arms. She couldn't sleep anymore and it was still dark. This ment that getting out of her room would be a challenge.

She got out of bed and slowly moved, very carefully towards her door. She made it without stepping on to much of her stuff. She opened the door and went into the hallway. She needed some confort. Scary monster of her dreams where trying to get her and the voices in her head told her that over and over. She was scared out of het pants now, sort of speak. She walked through the hallways and suddenly the voices in her head said: "Turn right , in there." Over and over again. Sometimes those voices where dandy. She softly opened the door and peeked in with her teddy next to her head. Only the top of her head was shown in the doorway and so the teddy's . She swallowed and said: "Hello?" very softly and carefull.

~~"Hello?"

Venus lay on his bed in a pair of black drawstring pants, his radio was on playing a soothing melodic song and luckily for Hymn, he was alone. He sat up, letting his novel fall to his side. His mind quickly drew up what he knew about Hymn from his trip through the files that they had. He was pretty sure he remembered her being 18, yup, eighteen sounded nice, an eighteen year old that brought a teddy bear to his room in her night clothes...

"How can I help you, sweetie?" he propped himself up on his elbows.

"How can I help you, sweetie?"

It was the big red man, one of many and which one was in front of her she did not know. All she knew is that she always felt safe with him. He was like her big guardian who helped her out when she needed help. "I Got scared and now i can't sleep." She said as she stood in the creeck of the door with her bear under her arms, being pressed tightly against her. She was pretty sure that he would help her scare the monsters off. He was probably very good at that but he seemed a bit off. This was probably one of the 7 she hadn't met in person yet though he seemed so familiar.

She had numbered the 7 with numbers by history of encounter. The first one was the one that she met at the asylum. he saved her and drove a buss out of there with her in it. The second one was the valentine party one, the one that bought her gifts and wanted to share his birthday. It was always fun to see him strutting around since you never know who you where talking to. This made him less predictacble but she knew she was safe with any one of them.

"Oh." If she were just pretending that could have been interesting, but he thought she was being serious, she seemed serious and so he calmed him self down quite a bit. “Well, you are welcome to set up camp here, or I can go smush any monsters we find in your room. It's up to you." He actually felt a little awkward about his prior interest; she woke up with a nightmare for goodness sake. He reached over to a side table and pulled out a tee shirt, throwing it on, and stretching it over his muscles.

He pat the bed next to him, and for once, it wasn't an invitation of something intimate, it was simply an invitation to be protected for the night. She was cute, but he couldn’t remember if she was mentally old enough for him to think thoughts about her like that…So unless she explicitly showed interest than he wasn’t going to try to advance anything at all.

“Do you mind the lamp light being on? Or would you like the TV on? Maybe I could get you a glass of milk?”

The red man did what she expected of the red man, offer her a place to stay until she felt safe to go back. She walked into the room. It was dark exept for the nightlight. She looked carefully at the floor, over her bear just to see if she isn't walking on something. It was funny how she always ended up with him when she had problems. They already shared a birthday now.

She sat down on the bed and looked around. His room looked nothing like hers. Hers was full with was considered by most people as junk, but to her they where the treasures of life. She bounced softly up and down. He had a different bed even. So much for sharing equally amoung the rooms. She looked around as she inspected the room. Funny to sleep in a different room for once. "It's ok" She said to Abyss. She turned her head and said: "Your to big to walk in my room." with a bit of a straight face. She didn't mean to offend him with it though, but he would knock over most of the stuff by just walking in her room. She herself had trouble getting to her bed. She layed down on the bed and held her bear close to her. "So whats your name today?" She asked. She had to know who she was talking to today. She knew there where seven, now if she only remembered their names correctly.

His floor was covered in maroon shag it was exquisite to the touch, when she got on his beds she would come in contact with fine silk.

~~"It's ok" “Your to big to walk in my room."

“Hmmmm, well tomorrow I will just have to scare anything out of there from the doorway.”

~~ "So whats your name today?"

And with that any lingering thoughts of what a treat she might be, fluttered out the window, she settled in to the position of little sister flawlessly. “Today, I am Venus.” Understanding all to well the confusion that they could cause. He rolled away from her for a second and then pulled out a couple of large fuzzy blankets.
She more than likely wouldn't need them as he indeed tended to put off a great deal of heat.

“You go by Hymnal don’t you?” all and all he didn’t mind this at all, part of the benefit of his typical activity was not sleeping alone, this was part of the more wholesome goodness of a night with out all of the effort and pretense.

The bed was soft, way softer then her bed. her bed was made of ordinary linen, This was silk. It was all smooth and softy. She figured that if she wanted something like this she would have to get it herself. her fingers ran over the silk as she layed on her side with the bear against her.

So this was venus, the number 3 of the gang. Only 4 more that could introduce themselves to her. Not that she could say who was who. He had picked up some blankets for her. He was a very overly friendly one. Not that the others where badguys though, they where all very friendly to her. She could almost say they where her best friend.

She placed the blanket over her legs since those weren't covered up at all. She shook her head when he said what she was called. She looked at him from under her bear and said: "I'm Cailyn, but they name me Hymn too." And she let out a nod. The thoughts in her head told her all questions she should ask, rude ones, nice ones even the bad ones. "Didn't number 1 tell you?" She asked. He would probably not understand that but she wouldn't have a clue what she was doing wrong.

Oddly enough when there were six others running around with the same face and every other physical detail as you, you got used to others being confused about who was who. so they a ll embraced what made them who they were to the fullest. " Cailyn is beautiful name, I think I prefer it on you sweetie. number one actually did not tell me, but he is a busy man a lot of the time so I am not surprised that he would forget to inform me."of course he was thinking of Abyss as number one, he was typically in charge of most of the goings on of the clones.

"So, were you sleepy? did you need anything before you go to bed dear>

"Thank you." she said and she nodded to his explanation. It would make sense if somebody had 6 others running around that the leader was busy. She got up a bit and patted Venus on the head, well as far as could reach him. Her legs curled up in a sitting position and she placed her bear between her and her legs. "Your nice." She said. "Not everybody is nice here." She explained. It was strange how all the red men where nice but none of the others where. Some of them just yelled all day or thought about blood and guts.

She looked at venus and said: "No thank you, i don't need anything." She nodded trying to be all brave. "just hope the scaryness didn't follow me." She added and looked at the door with a tilted head. The thought just crossed her mind that it might have followed her. If that would be the case she would have trouble sleeping.

~~"Thank you."

“My pleasure.”

~~“Your nice."

“And thank you, Caily” he dropped the N to make the name a bit more of an endearment, she was sweet and cute, too bad she was a little shaken up. ah,well, he’d keep her safe from monsters at the very least.

~~"Not everybody is nice here."

“Yeah, you’re right, a lot of the people here are angry at the world for treating them poorly simply for being who they are.” Not that who they were didn’t cause trouble half the time, it seemed to him that there were mutants that got by just fine. Just not big red ones. And ones that could be used for that matter.

~~"No thank you, i don't need anything." "just hope the scaryness didn't follow me."

“Don’t you worry about any scaries. I will eat the m if they come in here.” He pitched his voice so that anyone in the hall way might hear. He laid back, plopping onto the pillows behind him.

Now she was Caily for some reason. Fun how people toyed with her name very often. She felt safe with the big red man right about now. She was sure of it that nothing would hurt her right now. She was the kind of person that would lock her room because she knew what people where thinking and it wasn't allot of good stuff.

He explained the reason why most of them where so angry. She should have been angry too for being locked up for so long but she wasn't. She was just glad to be out of that place and away from her fathers influence. And ofcourse that she wouldn't get hurt as much was a big plus aswell. She curled up a bit and pushed her bear tightly against her.

“Don’t you worry about any scaries. I will eat the m if they come in here.”

This raised some thoughts in her head. What would he eat them with, and what would they taste like. Would he use salt or sugar on them, or dip them in milk. He was atleast big enough to atleast try that. He would need a big cup of milk though. "Do you eat scaries allot?" She asked.

~~""Do you eat scaries allot?" the small sweet voice asked of him while holding a stuffed animal to her chest.

"Only the ones foolish enough to come with in my reach." Venus grinned at the young woman. If she asked him what he at them with he would say ketch up, scaries were great with ketch up.

Just then Venus's eyes flick to the door as he heard stomping down the Hall. He glanced at him and then came up to a squat near her, his tail hovered over her protectively. the hand closest to her settled on her leg. He bared his teeth and got ready to spring on what ever was coming for them, he hadn't realized that things were really after her. luckily he was still equipped to handle whatever it was.

His door burst open bouncing off the wall, and there stood Jupiter. almost frothing at the mouth. He glanced at Hymn and Venus's hand there. **" I will kill you, Venus, if you have made the slightest move on her. Hymn, has he hurt you?"

Venus opened his mouth to retort that he would never force himself anywhere. but a piercing gaze from Jupiter shot his mouth.

**"not a word until she says what she needs to. and get your hand and tail away from her. NOW!" Jupiter demanded.

(feel free to use your powers on either of them.to your hearts content)

(OOC:sorry 1 handed typing is hard and i figured i let you fight yourself ^^)

**" I will kill you, Venus, if you have made the slightest move on her. Hymn, has he hurt you?"\

Cailyn eeped as jupiter stomped through the door. She shot up in a sitting position with her back against the head of the bed. The door was broken to say the least and a very angry red gaint was standing in the door frame. He was very upset with venus for the reason she wasnt to sure off. Venus didn't do anything bad though. Atleast not that she knew off, and she knew allot of things about everyone.

Jupiter however didn't know if he was doing bad things, he just asumed it. Guess if you look the same and are related somehow you can asume stuff from each other. He knew him as good as a mind reader, like herself. Sure she knew that venus had been naughty sometimes but nothing to do what jupiter could be angry about like this."No."She eeped out to confirm that she is ok. She held her bear against herself. She got scared of jupiter, they where going to fight each other over nothing and there was almost nothing she could do about.

~~"No."

Venus opened his mouth to reply to Jupiter when Caily answered for him. he smiled. " I haven't nor am I going to , I am however protecting her from noisy rude and scary things tonight, so go get me your door unless you want me to count you among the scary noisy mean things."

Jupiter picked up the door and looked over Hymn one more time and seemingly satisfied, begrudgingly nodded. He couldn't believe it Venus behaved himself. that was almost enough to give him a little credit, too bad for Venus he wouldn't be getting the chance to test his restraint. Jupiter took one of the extra doors they had stored in the storage, and returned to the room, he screwed the door into place and then plopped down on the edge of the bed and promptly curled up.

"If you want to be protected Cailyn, you don't want only that pansy protecting you." Jupiter smirked to him self and moments later was drifting off to sleep.

Red men fighting averted and the peace returned to this room in a ow so not peacefull place. Nobody even bothered to check what to door breaking was all about, it was normal to make a mess and some noise to match. She just sat there switching between the one red man and the other as they made whitty remarks at each other.

Now the grumpy one turned out to be quite the handy man. He put a new door in the frame in no time. She wondered if he did more of the fixing around here. He would be like the santa of broken stuff, who comes out at night and fixes up stuff. She nodded when she thought that, it could be a theory to test out someday. Though the voices in her head said differently, she still thrusted both of them. They where like big guardian red men.

She scooted over to make room for jupiter who joined on the bed and curled up. It was almost like a big red cat. She placed her bear next to him and patted him. "It's ok, the more the merrier" She said and smiled. They should be getting along now though. If not then she herself would have to straighten them out, or atleast try.
