Skyla gingerly took the paper and squealed with delight, a giant grin crossing her face, "How clever!" she exclaimed. Her eyes grew round and her mouth fromed an 'O' as she slapped a slender hand over it. She winced and mouthed 'sorry' to the girls before folding the paper and passing it to Eloisa. Oh how exciting! They'd be like spies, passing around secret notes and whatnot; it was just dashingly smart of them to think of that. For a moment she cursed herself for not thinking of it; right now they all thought she was just a ditzy teen who thought about nothing other than her reflection in the mirror and what color of nailpolish was 'in style'. She wanted to prove them wrong. Only problem was; proving that wrong would prove her wrong, and expose things she didn't really want out in the open. A tiny sigh escaped her glossed lips and she resigned to her time here as the resident 'ditz' with little more than, at least supposedly, air between her ears- and beneath her perfectly groomed mane of chestnut hair.

Smiling in triumph as Aiden said she was right, Eloisa’s eyes turned into saucers as the music blasted on next to her. The shock was about as big as when the back of her chair had popped backwards, and she was now trying to recover from both shocks at once. Lying in the chair, she heard a girl who sounded an awful lot like Skyla, exclaim something was very clever. Curious about what it was, she took a chance on a button that would hopefully pop the back of the chair up again, and pressed it. Being lucky this time, the chair went slowly back into place. Accepting the note, she unfolded it and read what it said. She nodded, knowing it was a pretty good idea, and passed it on to Katie - giving her a warm smile as she did.

ooc: LOL about the chair buttons, those posts were so funny
The voice took a moment to make sure everyone was listening before replying. "I am merely one of Mr. Silver's personal assistants--he is currently not feeling too well and is putting us in charge of sending all information to be studied."
Ana laughed out loud at Skyla and then mouthed, "It's okay," knowing how hard it was sometimes to not say what you were thinking. Everyone else buzzed expectantly, and she wished the 'assistant' dude would just hurry up and get on with the program. Assignment??
Silver's assistant cleared his throat. "And now I am to read the exact words of our head doctor back at the analyzing office. He is conducting most of the survey." Waiting until everyone was quiet once more, he started, coughing every now and then. "Your first assignment, kids, is simple and might even be fun. You are to look up as much information you can get on this mansion, with the help of the computers in the library and the up-to-date magazines placed in the library racks. Only one article and only one web page has what you all need to find..." Pausing dramatically, the speaker read louder and clearer and more energetically than he had sounded the whole hour. "You, my dear examples, will have to find the name of Mr. Silver's spokesman and most valuable personal assistant." He chuckled. "In other words, my name."
Ana furrowed her brow but didn't say anything, pretending instead to puke at the assistant's pompous tone. She almost laughed again and then nodded.
OOC: I'll post his name on the chat board, and the first one to reply THERE gets to choose the one webpage or magazine article the guy's name was on... be imaginative! Make it something like the caption under a magazine photo, or the text on a pop-up internet ad... etc... ;D

Katie looked over as the familiar girl came over and sat beside her, Having fun? Katie gave a huff, I would be if it wasn't for these d**n chairs that seem to attack me. She said, looking really innnocent though she had been the one touching the buttons. But if theres a button you gotta press it. She said smiling, she went quite as the voice spoke. Yeah, and whats your name? She asked, not really reliasing she had spoken up, when she did she almost smiled aswell as becoming more cheerful inside. Maybe this place would be fun.

Chance raised a eyebrow at the word Assignment.He didn`t know there would be any.He sighed.This was weird.
As he looked around the room he saw the small microphone and tilted his head,so thats where the voices were coming from ! There must be camera`s around too then.

Layla smiled. Too right! Katie and her were more alike than she had expected. A little more confidence and Katie and her could have been twins. Why, what a voice! Layla giggled at Ana's pretend puking lightly, not wanting to make the speaker suspect they were being rude to him. Wouldn't that be a great way to start this project?
+I think thats what we have to find out+
Layla hissed to Katie. Not menacingly, just so the voice hopefully couldn't pick it up.

Jake grinned at Aiden's comment, nodding to Chance. Chance seemed to be quite shy, and quiet. Unusual. Jake was used to slightly bubbly, enthusiastic people-loving people. At school he had been named 'Mr. Popular'. So he was used to being around bouncy people.
||Too right||
Jake responded, making evil eyes at the clump of girls.
||We have to protect our sanity, and our masculinity. If we stay too long in their company we'll become either gay or feminine||

Aiden let out a hearty laugh, "Masculinity is a rare commodity in this house- I think, so Jake is definitely right- we must guard it with our lives." he placed a hand mockingly over his heart and grinned like a fool. Man, maybe this place wasn't going to be so bad. Maybe he could actually make a friend- rather than just an allie. So far he and Jake had gotten along famously, and he was sure Chance wasn't far behind. Maybe even his roomie and whatever other males might happen to creep into the household...

Skyla clapped her hands and patted Katie on the shoulder, "Righto." she beamed and turned to the speaker, "Um, are we dismissed?" she asked quickly. So eager to get the first assignment over and done with- she couldn't wait to get started. Perhaps they'd branch off into teams, or would they work as one big group? Maybe even individuals. She pondered the thought momentarily and waited for an answer, perching herself on the arm-rest of Layla's chair.

Jake grinned, copying Aiden with his hand over his heart and reciting the national anthem (Lol, don't know it. I don't live in America, remember?). Stifling a laugh, he too turned to the speaker with what Paris had said. Jake had come to the solution that it was easier to nickname people than remember their real names. 'Paris' is Skyla, named after Paris Hilton. Aka total girly girl. 'Frankie' is Eloisa, named after Frankie Payne, a famous hairdresser. Mainly because Jake thinks Eloisa definitely needs a hairdo. And the others I guess you'll find out as we go along. If your character gets called something strange, just ask me/Jake for an explanation. Otherwise you'll probably spend your whole life wondering what 'popsicle' meant.

Seemingly offended that no one cared how important he was getting, the voice sniffed. "Yes, all of you... but that doesn't mean I won't be watching the other rooms, of course." There was a sharp crackle that made Ana jump, and then the speakers went silent.
Instantly she jumped up. "Well, that's going to be easy. Who's coming to the library with me?" she asked, grinning. With the internet within easy reach, this assignment was going to fall at the hands of a couple of kids and Google.com. She did hope they would find a bit more information on Silver, though--it wasn't as if the government was going to hide this guy.

Layla too looked ponderingly at the speaker. As well as at least half the room. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Jake and Aiden welcoming Chance as one of their own. I sound like a wildlife documentary presenter, Layla thought. "And with that, the chimpanzees are able to welcome the small gorilla as one of their own". Hey! I didn't mean for it to come out with monkeys. Strange. I suppose whenever you think of guys you think of apes.
+I'll come. We need to get cracking+
Layla rubbed her hands together, smiling and looking at Ana.

Katie looked at the girl who patted her shoulder with some sort of funny expression. She hadn't actually seen the girl coming but gave a softer smile. With these girls seeming to welcoming and nice towards her Katie was becoming to come out of her shell. Maybe she could find a friend here, a real friend, not one who walked all over, one that actually wanted to be her friend. She looked towards the girl who patted her shoulder and Layla. I have a laptop in my room, its connected to the internet... She said, she had obviously some kind of plan. I also have lots of chocolate and magazines. She said to them, basically inviting them back to her room so they could all hang out and chat properly, katie was obviously wamring up to these girls. I wouldn't mind been their friend...

Eloisa wasn't quite sure what to feel about the assignment, but she was sure the frustration would build on her. Looking up at Ana as she asked if anyone wanted to join her, she thought for a while. She hated working with people she didn't know. Figuring she didn't really have anything to lose, she stood up from her chair and stretched out. "Sure, I'll go with ya..." She took some steps towards the exit, sneaking past the bundle of boys that were suddenly coped up right in front of her, and went out into the hallway, happy to be out of the crowded common room. She'd wait here until, hopefully, Ana would follow.

Chance snicked at Jakes comment.What was with this assignment ? Wait forget about the assignment,why did the guys seem to be outnumbered by the girls.He raised a eyebrow.
"So...what`s with the assingment.."
Chance wasn`t shy exactly ,just really quiet.It was how he was raised,after his mother died of course.Maybe he would have a good time here,if he could manage to make some friends.
