Thread: Cult of Personality (Wade & Bliss)

The two women, when they showed up, had to sign a ridiculously amount of papers. Around seven sheets stapled together on top of each other. It had basic information like first and last name, home address, age, birthday, any medical needs, if they had been to a rehabilitation or homeless shelter before, got a lot more medical questions than you would've actually thought, like if you've ever given birth, had an abortion, blood type, reason for coming here, names of relatives who could easily contact you, phone numbers, if you've ever used a credit card and if you'e ever been late paying late fees, questions that got quite specific. Though you could chalk that up to precautions to ensure that anyone abusive to you could not find you, and if you had any issues with addictions, you wouldn't find any chance to relapse.... Maybe. It was a lot of questions. Either way, once both girls got their number, the waiting period was a good three hours. Names were looked through, had background checks made, and proper authentication was made to make sure their information was solid. Once each name was sort, the decision making was made. Another name added to the pile was Lucas. Lucas Blanchett, he was a 21 year old college transfer student turned drop out, because things in his life were.... Well, not as Messy as Sabrina and Nova's lives, his parents were never abusive to him, though certainly hard. His issues were more drug based. He had gotten into SOMAs and relaxers a lot in high school, having anxiety issues, with the added issues of bullies. Lucas had a crush on a kid in school. A male friend. He was bisexual, and fell in love with said male friend, who rejected Lucas when he tried asking him out on a date. When rumors started floating around, some of the other kids added in that he was having sex with another one of the teachers in school, a middle aged gay teacher who tried keeping his private life that. Private. As these rumors became more openly discussed, said teacher quit over the harassment he was getting and constant questions of whether he was sleeping with an underaged student, while Lucas was bullied and called such great words as 'homo,' and 'faggot.' When he finally graduated, he wanted out of Australia, and found himself in the US, where his drug issues truly took over. Without anyone there to keep him in check, his grades failed, he dropped out, and never returned home. He had spent a year working odd jobs, but his last overdose was fatal, and he knew he needed help. He didn't want to return home for that help, however. He stayed here, and found himself in this cramped lobby, awaiting to hear his number. '45.' With all names collected, and searched through, the background checks came in and everything was finally done, the choice was finally to be made. Do you have any favorites so far, sir? A lady asked. The man behind the company, the one picking out the names personally, rubbed his chin with his hand. Hmmmm.... Well, this Nova girl interests me. Someone her age would definitely fit the island....... Sabrina as well, she doesn't quite state her reason for being here, it's a bit vague. Shall I throw that out? No, no, I'll keep it in the pile....... Lucas seems the type to have around, he could join our guard program. We need more people to join that. Anyone else? Hmmmm... He took another minute to read through the names, looking over their information. ........ I think these five will do. The others don't have matching backgrounds, and I don't believe they'd fit the community. Announce their numbers and bring them to the back room, make sure they have stuff to eat and drink as well, I wanna talk to them personally. After what seemed like 14 hours, finally the numbers were called. May I have your attention. We have made our final choices........ 25, 45, 18, 54 and 30, please come to the front desks. Our staff will lead you from there. So it was the three managed to get their names picked. When heading to the front desks, they were lead behind them and through the small offices of the building, where they were placed in a room with a couch, a table full of sandwiches, and some bottled water.
