Contractors, Humans, and Gifteds OMI!!

[Raven]

((*points to title* I would love joiners ;D you can be any of the three listed, but Contractors and cops are loved <3))
Contractors are humanoid beings with super-powers, very like Gifteds. However, Contractors have to perform a specific task before or after they use their powers, such as putting pebbles in a specific formation or breaking their fingers. Contractors have become a problem for the government, so special agents have been sent out to capture them. The agents don't know the difference between Gifteds and Contractors, in fact they think they are the same thing. Gifteds and Contractors don't know of the other group, either. (Gifteds don't know about Contractors, Contractors don't know about Gifteds) And no civilians know of any of them. Also, each Contractor has a star in the sky that represents them. That is how the government knows when a new Contractor appears, or when one dies. Each star, and therefore each Contractor, has a code, with two letters then three numbers. (IB167 for example)
This is going to take place in Salem, Oregon, the witch town. (Because I love it when it gets spooky lol)

[Gifted]

ooc: Well they know the difference in theroy, it's just kinda hard to tell first glance.... And the government wouldn't exactly let a Contractor walk away now would they?
*throws in Amelia and Kaitlyn*

Tap tap. He knocked softly on her door, everything from his black hair to his green eyes, which were exactly like his twin brother's, was hidden by his cloak. "I'm coming!" the girl shouted. He heard footsteps, then the door opened a crack. She peered out. "Adam!" she cried out, joyfully. "I thought you'd left!" She flung the door open and jumped forward to hug him. "Inside, hurry," he hissed. "And shut the door behind you." He stepped quickly through the door and she followed. "I can't stay," he said. "Okay, come sit down and tell me why you came," she said, moving to the couch and patting the place beside her. He paced in front of her instead. "Adam, I've never seen you so agitated..." She was worried. He turned to her, smiling slightly. "That's because I'm not Adam. The contractor who looked like Adam moved quickly. Within seconds, the girl had lost her memory.

Jordan sat on the bench in the deserted hall, nodding off. He was waiting for his partner. He knew nothing about him or her, not even their gender. He was new to the agency, and new to the idea of Contractors. Yet here he was, waiting for his new partner. His head fell forward, and his blond hair fell into his eyes, which were hazel. "When are they going to be here?" he asked himself.

[Gifted]

"WHAT?"
"We've assigned you a new partner, Amelia. And please don't shout,"
"Excuse me sir, but I clearly stated earlier in the year that I didn't want a partner," Amelia kept her calm buissness like manner, but inside she was fuming. Nobody could replace Jack! and she'd asked -well demanded really- not to be given a new partner. EVER.
"Heres the thing," Her boss sighed and got up, beginning to pace. "We understand you're upset about Jack. However, you've become obbsessed with CY-100, and my collegues and I believe the best way to help you move forward is to assign a new agent to you,"
"With all due respect sir, I'm /not/ obsessed," Amelia said defiantly.
"Be that as it may, We still expect you to work with this new agent. You'll find him on the east bench in the park,"
"He's not coming here?" Amelia raised her eyebrows.
"We thought you could discuss your case in a more.. public setting,"
Amelia sighed. Her boss really frustrated her sometimes. "Alright. Anything else sir?"
"You may go,"
((That was my fail of Misakis boss, the dude who sits at the desk all day. ))
Amelia walked out of her bosses office fuming. She was NOT! obsessed! Selena had killed her partner, and she was bringing her to justice! How was that being obsessed?
she walked out of the building and started down the street.

"Hey Amelia!" A voice carried out to Amelia Cfincks as as she walked alone in her buissness suit with a file tucked under her arm. She looked up, adjusting her glasses as she did so. "Oh hey Kaitlyn!" She grinned as she looked at her old friend. "Wearing tonnes of makeup as usual I see,"
It was true. Kiatlyn had thick eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, shiny red lipstick and eyes so shiny they hinted at contacts. She didn't look bad though, with her hair puled in the brown bushy ponytail and the revealing shirt and skirt. She looked fabulous.
"This coming from Plain Jane over here," Kaitlyn laughed, tugging on her simple black ponytail that lay flat against her neck. "Hey!" Amelia said, holding her hand up to stop her friend.
So hows work?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Alright. I found a great lead on CY-100 the other day," Amelia said to her friend.
"Oh Selena, Selena, Selena! When I ask about work that's all you ever talk about. I think you're obsessed," Kaitlyn said playfully.
"I am not obsessed!" Amelia retorted.
"Then tell me about something /other/ than Selena," she challenged.
Amelia racked her brains for something to report. She must've heard /something/... "A new star was born a few weeks ago," she finally managed.
"Ooh, really?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Yeah, DI-351. But we haven't seen them in action yet. We don't know the first thing about them, even hether it's a boy or a girl or what powers they have. We're tottally in the dark on this one," She sighed.
"Well then watch your back, she could be close," Kaitlyn winked, and then laughed. "well I have an audition to get too, see you later!" Kaitlyn watched her "friend" walk away before the silly grin fell of her face. What an id!ot. Trusting her just beause they were 'friends'!.
Although Amelia didn't know it, they wern't friends. they were enimies. Amelia was looking for her. She didn't realise she'd just walked away from Kaitlyn, one of the lethal Contractors.
She was DI-351

[Raven]

((ok, I need to think of set star codes for my chars...
Adam: VI-297
Alexa: RD-946
Kenny (Adam's twin who was in the intro): IV-013
and I'm not sure about who the girl is exactly... and Amelia didn't even meet Jordan...))

[Gifted]

ooc: no but she's heading that way. we should let more people join before we start.

[Raven]

"We need to send a team after IV-013! We have to find out how no one seems to see him!" one of the agents shouted.
"Or her. And I know, I'm going to send Amelia and her new partner after it," the boss replied.
"We need to do it now!" she hollered over her shoulder as she marched out the door. She went to the room containing the girl to see if she was awake. "Still not awake," she said half to herself.

"It's because of Contractors like you that we're hunted!" Adam shouted angrilly at his brother.
"You're just mad because it was /her/," Kenny replied.
"So what if I am?! It doesn't change anything!" They were talking in a deserted alleyway.
"Keep your voice down, Adam."
"Why should I?" He practically growled.

[Gifted]

Amelia made it to the park and looked towards the benche she'd been informed her new partner was sitting at. Great... they'd given her a newbie. oh well, The new cops were pretty enthusiastic usually, they must've thought she could handle him.

Or that strugggling to handle him would take her mind of Jack. Sigh.

she walked over to him. "I'm Amelia Cfinks. Your new partner," she said.

[Raven]

Jordan jumped to his feet, woken from his light sleep by her talking. "Um... I'm, uh, Jordan. Nice to meet you," he stuttered, offering his hand for her to shake. "What are we going to start with? Do we have any specific Contractors we're going after?" He shuddered at the thought of running into a Contractor and wondered again why he'd joined the cops.

[Gifted]

Amelia shook her head. "Theres a few Contractors known to the area but mostly we take them out whenever one pops up. Most of us know all the Contractors in a 6 kilometre by face and number. You'll know when you've been on the force longer," she said. "One of the biggest problems is we need to discover the identity of DI-351, otherwise he or she could catch us off guard,"

[Raven]

Jordan let his hand fall, then nodded. "So... What now? Are we going to go looking for them?" He wondered briefly what had happened to Amelia's previous partner. Had a Contractor taken her, or him, by surprise? Jordan felt his blood run cold at the thought.

Alexa ripped off the bottom of her shirt and tied it around her arm, trying to stop the bleeding. "Another mission completed for them, and I'm still not happy about it," she muttered to herself. "Why do they want this little box, anyway?" She jumped down from her perch in the willow tree, jostling her arm. She worked on retying the strip of cloth around it, so focused on her work that she didn't notice the girl until she'd already run into her. "Oh, I'm sorry, I should pay more attention to where I'm going," she apologized. ((it's Kaitlynn I thought Alexa should meet your other character as well ;D))

[Gifted]

"Oh, it's nothing," Kaitlyn said, surprised. She noticed the wound that Alexa had on her arm "What happened?" she asked, indicating the blood soaked bandage.

"Pretty much. Unless they send us a specific asignment, which they usually don't. Theres a specific Contractor I have my eye on, but thats not the bosses idea," she said grimly. "Just a personal matter,"

[Raven]

"I tripped and fell on a rock. My luck is horrible. Luckily, my box didn't get damaged," she replied. "Unfortunately, I don't have enough money for a doctor." She thought her lie was convincing enough.

Jordan nodded. "So what do we do now?" he asked, wondering if they would go back to HQ.

[Gifted]

"Nothing really. We're undercover most of the time, so we just pretend we dont care and wait till we see someone we recognize from the pictures," she said. "Pretty boring for a cop, until we actually find someone that is,"

"Really?" she said, raising one eyebrow. She didn't believe it for a secound and briefly debated using her power to check if this girl was a contractor. she decided against it. SHe didn't really want to pay her price in front of this girl if she wasnt a COntractor, coould lead to akward questions.

[Raven]

Of course not. Only the part about her luck and the box not getting damaged was entirely true. She didn't have enough money for a doctor, but even if she did, she wouldn't go see one, it would be too risky. "Why would I lie?" she asked.

"Cool... If we're supposed to act nonchalant, we should probably either sit down or start walking, though," he said. He used to love playing spy when he was a kid.
