Today, I woke up for the first time in a thousand years- I suppose I should explain.
The first thing I remember is waking up in complete darkness- it was cold and small and I had no memory of anything else. Only a few moments later, the ceiling opened up above me, revealing a cold, circular room with about 20 metal containers like the one I was sitting lined in a circle, each with a kid about my age sat in it. They all looked similar, with black hair and the same bangs. I stood up to get a proper look around the room and noticed an adult standing in the middle of the room in front of an upright container like the one I was in. "Hello everyone," He said, looking around the room at the other children, "It's a pleasure to meet you all- my name is Callum Seahue and I'll be showing you around the faction 7 building and preparing you for life in the outside. If you'll be so kind as to follow me to the atrium- you must be hungry after a thousand years in hibernation." He started walking towards the door and we all started to follow him because we had nothing else to do and nowhere else to go.
"Just wait one minute!" yelled a girl from the other side of the room. Like everyone else, she had black hair with a gradient (Hers was a purple-ish blue) and her shirt said 'Test subject 0133 Calamity'. "How do we know we can trust you when no one has any idea what the heck you're talking about! What do you mean by 'Faction 7' or 'The outside'? I can't be the only one who's clueless about all of this" Mr Seahue walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Your name's Calamity, right? I know this must be really hard for you- putting your trust in a complete stranger- but it's really important that you trust me, I don't want you to see me as a possible enemy" She looked up at him.
"Well, I suppose I'll trust you for now, but don't expect us to get along yet." He smiled at her,
"Alright then, let's go eat something.".
Callum showed us around the facility after we ate. It turns out there are 10 factions altogether, each with 20 kids in it. The other factions are different buildings and we can't go visit them because the professor (That's what we're calling Seahue) doesn't know whether it's safe outside- it has been a thousand years and no one knows what the environment's like now.
After the tour, the professor took us to our dorms. The bunk beds were arranged like the containers, in a circle. We were given these journals to write our thoughts down in our spare time. I decided to get to know some of the other kids, specifically a boy called Sanji, who has an orange gradient in his hair. I was also curious about the girl from before- Calamity- and another girl called Discordelia (Or Discord for short) who the rest of us have assumed is Calamity's twin sister because they look identical, with the same hair gradient colour. However, Cally seems kinda standoffish and Discord gives off kinda creepy vibes.
Anyway, we decided to set a curfew of 9:30 pm so we could all get sleep without being disturbed by anyone still awake. But before that, I got my first look at myself in a mirror. I have black hair like everyone else but with a sea-green gradient. I noticed a number tattoed on my arm, '0137', which was also written on my shirt. I know it must be a bit boring describing myself like this but until then, I didn't actually remember what I looked like.
It's nearly 9:30 now so I'll stop writing now. I'll try to write as often as I can but I'll sign off now
-Test Subject 0137, Codename Maiza
