"Surprise!" The word rings in Thorn's ears as he tries to recover from the blinding light. The person currently wrapped around his waist is rather short, with big bushy blonde hair, and brown eyes. She smiles up at him, her pupils slightly dilated. Something about the look in her eyes makes him uneasy.
"You sure took your time, getting up. You okay?" Someone asks, from a little further in the small room. Now that his vision has cleared, Thorn can see that, aside from the girl, there are three others in the room. A taller man with thin brown hair, green eyes and a tired expression, a girl with black hair, red contacts, and black lipstick, and someone sitting in the corner. All of them are wearing black robes with hoods, so he can't see the face of that last guy. The one who spoke is the brown haired male, who is holding a red drinking cup. The guy in the corner is sitting next to a long table, with a punch bowl, and some snacks. The room is painted yellow and there are streamers and some other decorations.
"Uh... I, uh..." Thorn fumbles over his words, trying to think of something.
"Alex, sweetie, what's wrong? Did you hit your head?" The girl at his waist asks. Alex. So, that's the name he chose for himself, last night! Good to know he didn't go with his real name.
"Leave him alone, Syndie. All the new recruits are disoriented at first." The brown haired male tells the shorter girl. So, Syndie is her name.
"Not me! I knew what I was doing!" Syndie announces, proudly. Thorn smiles a little, trying to relax. Recruits? Recruits. Okay.
"Yeah, I uh... guess I had too much to drink last night..." 'Alex' mumbles, trying to pry the small person off of him. "So, uh... the dude on the table. Did I do that?" He asks, warily.
"Mhm! You stabbed that knife in pretty deep. By the way, we almost forgot to welcome you to the Cult of Chaos." The dark haired girl speaks up. She tosses Alex some robes and he finally gets a good look at them, seeing a white diamond shape on the chest.
