Oh. Hanna thought they were going to be more serious questions. She liked this better. "Lavender." Hanna responded simply.
“Gold..’cause why not?” Briar shrugged and smiled
group
Hanna nodded. "Like the little specks in your eyes." She pointed out.

Hanna nodded. "Like the little specks in your eyes." She pointed out.
(That's not awkward at all… Lol.)
“Dark silver-blue.”, Swan signed tentatively. “And I’m Swan.”
group
Hanna watched the one girl sign her answer. She knew very limited sign language, so all she knew was dark.
Giving up, Swan took out her little notepad that she always kept for people who didn’t know ASL. I’m Swan., she wrote.
group
Hanna squinted to read it from where she was. Swan…wasn't that an animal name? "Swan? That's pretty." It was nice to be polite.
Swan indicated to the girl shyly, trying to non-verbally ask her name.
group
"Hanna." She responded, realizing what Swan was getting at.
Jax winced, his stomach was definitely bruised. "Turquoise is my favorite color, and Swan that is a pretty name."
Swan waved, coming up against a roadblock set by her inability to talk. I can hear you, but I’m mute., she wrote in the pad to clarify, hands trembling a bit. She shivered slightly in her leotard, dance shorts, tights, and sweater. Hi Kax, thank you., she added.
*Jax
Jax smiled after reading her note. "Where you born mute?"
Swan nodded. “Do you Speak ASL?”, she signed hopefully, the social interactions bringing another bout of trembling to her hands.
group
Hanna felt terrible. And not just because there was a very large bruise on her arm. All she got from Swan's signing was speak.
"Yes I do," he sighed back. "Do you know how we all got here?"
Swan noticed Hanna’s look and quickly wrote the same on her notepad.
Swan signed the negative. “Last thing I remember is being in dance class.”, she signed back, writing the same in the paper so as not to make Hanna feel left out
group
Hanna nodded. "The last I remember I was walking home with…" She trailed off. She had just met these people, they didn't need to know that.
Jax sighed, his hoodie was still wet from when he woke up about thirty minutes ago. "I honestly think I was napping when I got kidnaped and brought here."

"I think I was on my laptop binge-watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Kenzie said.
Swan shrugged unconfortably. Um… So, soulmates., she wrote awkwardly. Im not sure I believe everything in that paper.
group
Hanna pulled the note out of her pocket. "There has to be more information about this. When does our time to find a soulmate run out? Is there food here? Water?"
group
Almost as if in answer to their questions, a table appeared in the middle of the room. There was enough room for them all to sit, with a card at each place telling them where to sit. A white tablecloth draped over the table, and the plates looked as if they were made of china. Clear wine glasses were placed by each plate, next to tall water glasses.
group
"I feel so under dressed…" Hanna muttered, walking over to the table in her jeans and sweater. She began looking at the cards, trying to find her name.
group
Kenzie stood, blinking in shock, after the table appeared. Glancing around, she noticed that everyone else just found their name and sat down, without questioning it.
"Is nobody curious about the sudden appearance of a table in the middle of the room?" she questioned.
group
"Oh, I am curious. I'm also hungry though." Hanna sat down at her place.
"After waking up in a ginormous box, not really impressed." Jax shrugged and sat down. "I hope the food's good."
group
Kenzie shook her head, then followed suit. At her place, a card was set on the plate. The card read, Kenzie Rhodes, you have been chosen to be a part of this because of your kindness and gentleness towards those in need. If you fail to find your soulmate, you will be brought to another room where the process will be repeated. Your memory will be wiped of this room and the events that have taken/will take place.
