DIVERGENT RP

Jeanine surveyed the initiates. It was close to a new record low this year: 10 total initiate with 6 Erudite born and 4 transfers. She noted that there was no Abnegation among them. "Welcome to the Erudite faction," she began.

(Starting this again) Monique paid as much attention as she could to Jeanine's words, even though she practically knew them by heart. She adored Jeanine, wanting to be just like her. After the rest of the initiates were given blue clothing and send to the dormitories, Monique followed Jeanine up to her private laboratory on the top floor.

Jayden hung out on the roof as the man made his short speech. After he was done, he said (with a scary grin), “Who’s first?”

Lydia looked at the man like he was insane. "To jump off that building?" She asked. "I don't have a death wish."

The man (Max, or someone else?) stared her right in the eyes. "Candor, I see. You should learn to keep your mouth shut. I bet you don't even have the guts to jump."

Lydia tensed up. She could tell this man was just trying to push her buttons, but she didn't care. She looked around, eyes meeting with Jayden. Lydia turned back to the man, grinning. "You don't know me," She said, challenging him as she walked up onto the ledge. She turned to face the group, still smiling, and simply fell backwards.

It was a rush, not knowing if you were to survive or not. But Lydia was certain there was something at the bottom. Water, or a cushion, maybe.

She found her answer when she felt the sharp impact. Her muscles tensed up upon landing on the net, and it was certainly a thrill.

(wait I thought his name was Adrik?)

"Lydia." She stumbled a bit, still recovering from the fall. "So this is what it's like to be Dauntless, huh?"

A moment later, Jayden thumped onto the cushion, hair flying. “No one gets to insult Candor like that,” she muttered. “I might be Dauntless, but I did grow up there.”

(lol it's cool, and see ya)

Lydia grinned as she saw Jayden land on the net. "And look who are the first two jumpers?" She asked, proud of herself and her accquaintance.
Lydia turned to Adrik. "So is that the only entrance to the Dauntless compoud?"

“That was fun,” she said, climbing off the net as more people started to jump.

Lydia walked over to Jayden and held up her hand for a high-five. "Y'know, I never really got to know you more, and I'm sorry for that. Do you wanna start now?" She asked sincerely.

“Sure,” she grinned, returning the high-five. “You’re Lydia, right?”

"Correct. And Jayden?" Lydia already knew her, having seen Jayden in multiple classes, but she just wanted to make sure. "Wow, I actually cannot believe I transferred. I mean, it feels great, no doubt, but I'll miss my parents." She sighed, then regained her composure. She was a Dauntless now. She had to act like it.

“Yeah, Same,” she looked around curiously. “That was seriously fun though. I almost want to do it again,”

Jeanine seated herself behind her desk, and Monique sat opposite in a blue and silver chair. "Monique, read this please," Jeanine handed her a tablet with an article pulled up on the screen. She phrased the statement so lightly that it almost sounded like a suggestion instead of a command. Almost. Monique took it and read obediently.

Lydia laughed. "I can't argue with that, it was so much fun!"

(Do you wanna wait for @Mark_Is_Male?)

//probably

(k, see ya later)

//I’m On my way! To soccer, so I won’t be around for a few hrs, sry

(nah it's cool! I have to go to a school meeting soon anyways ;D)

//I’m alive nkw

//night

(Night, though I'm late xD)

Lydia laughed, but covered it with a hand. "The front door," she scoffed, though silently. She walked next to Jayden, but right behind Adrik. She looked around the Dauntless headquarters (is that what they are called, idk), and it looked intimidating. Not really frightening, just intimidating.

Everything was darkened, a stark contrast to the brightly lit corridors of Candor. Jayden looked around - even her hair was dull, which didn't happen often. "Everything's so dark," she whispered to Lydia. "I can't decide if I like it or not."

Lydia nodded, though she doubted that Jayden could see it. "Honestly, I prefer it. It makes me feel. . . safe. I don't even know, but I always feel vunerable in the light. Quite opposite of most people, I guess," She said.

“My hair doesn’t look good in this lighting, but otherwise I agree with you,” she said. “The light exposes everything about you. In the dark, you can hide.”
