"Yes, my name is Jonas," he replied emotionlessly.
"So you do not remember anything before a forest?" Bob asked, looking over his notes. "Who brought you here?"

"Yes sir, it's a great honor to be here," James greeted Jim. "I'm really excited to start my job and to represent my country."
"I most certainly am glad you've decided to join us here. Before we tour the place, can I answer any questions?" Jim said, offering his hand to shake.

"Mostly, what would the specifics of my job entail?" James asked. "At the CPS back home, I was mainly an office body, so I was hoping there would be more chance of interaction with the children," he explained.

"You'll be doing alot more than you're used to, I'm sure of that. You will be interacting with the kids, yes, but that's only one part of it. Plenty of office work to be done as well, and in addition to that you'll be helping on the adoption side, helping setup families across the globe with the right kids.

So you'll get a taste of everything. You'll be helping consul kids that need it, and of course discipline anytime necessary, although not with beatings of course. There is no place in here for that. We had an... incident back a few years ago, and the lady is no longer with us after that." Jim said.

"The police did," he replied.

"The police did," he replied.
OOC: Want to continue to hospital RP to skip to his arrival at the Orphanage?

OOC: Want to continue to hospital RP to skip to his arrival at the Orphanage?

[OOC: Well, is the hospital RP going to get to a medical examination of any kind, for the kid who has been living one plants in the woods for two years, with tattered summer clothing, or will people just continue to ask him if he remembers more? If it's just going to be asking for more information, than by all means let's skip to the orphanage, if it's going to be about his health issues, than let's continue with the Hospital first.]

OOC: well ya, we'd get to a medical exam, but you know how hospitals and doctors are... haha "You sure you're alive?" "Damnit, if you don't believe me, PINCH ME and I'll tell you!" :-p we can just fast forward through the questions, though, I guess. Just never RP'd an exam on a memory loss patient before. Hmmm...
IC:
"Alright, open your mouth wide. Lets take your temp. Make sure you're not running a fever." the doctor said.

ooc: is that a reference to my char and the NPC Joanne?

ic:

"I'm glad to hear that," James said, "I started out as a data analyst for the SVR, our intelligence service, you know. We ran across a child smuggling ring, and ever since I've wanted a chance to help children who were abused or neglected," he explained.

Jonas opened his mouth. He wasn't running a fever, though he was malnourished, and probably had some bones that hadn't healed quite right from the plane crash, there were also many minor cuts and bruises, some that had healed long ago, and some that were newer.

OOC: Was that incident involving you? If so, yes. lol

"Well I'm glad your heart seems to be in the right place. Shall we begin the tour?" Jim asked, standing up.

Jonas opened his mouth. He wasn't running a fever, though he was malnourished, and probably had some bones that hadn't healed quite right from the plane crash, there were also many minor cuts and bruises, some that had healed long ago, and some that were newer.
Hmmmm slipped out of Bob. "Well, no fever. How about we check out your heart and bones." he said, grabbing a stephiscope to check his heart beat and then began to feel around the boy to check his bones.

Jonas sat still as the doctor examined him. His left wrist had been broken in the plane crash, and had not healed properly.

"Does that hurt at all?" he asked Jonas as he touched the area, feeling the bone.

OOC: Was that incident involving you? If so, yes. lol

"Well I'm glad your heart seems to be in the right place. Shall we begin the tour?" Jim asked, standing up.

ooc: cool, but could we change the incident to being from several months, not years, ago. I still want to rp my char (who's in limbo until i hear from brittonia, kenavt or n. calaveras).

ic:

"I'd be delighted to," James said as he stood up as well, ready to follow Jim's lead.

"So, what all do you know about us?" he asked as they stepped out of the fifty second floor office into the long and busy hallway filled with other employees.

"Well," James answered, "I can tell your not just another CPS care facility. I've done research already, and am greatly willing to help the children as best I can. I suppose the greatest question is, when and how do I start? I'm ready for an assignment."

ooc: it'd be fine if you placed me w. my own char, or another char...or whatever u want me to do...

OOC: you wont be working with one specific person, but rather - like me - you'll be keepin an eye on and working with everyone. heh

IC:
"Well I hope that's a compliment." Jim said with a smile. "Once we tour the place, I'll show you your office and set you free. But what I'd like you to do is mostly get to know and trust these kids. Some - actually, a good majority of them - you may feel uncomfortable around. Most people do. It takes a certain type of personality to handle and feel comfortable and confident around them.

They'll be trying to push you around, make demands of you, some will be aggressive. Many are aggressive towards eachother, too. And most of it stems from their fears and trust. They don't have respect for most adults, since most of them have never been respected by us as adults. So it's going to likely take some time for them to warm upto you and feel they can trust you. Some may never trust you, others maybe in the first day." he said as they entered the elevator. Jim pushed M1 for the main lobby level.

ooc: well, i meant just to reintro my char, as it seems neither of the former participants are returning. but i get your meaning

ic:

"They acted much the same at the care facility I worked at," James added, "And most were orphans of the Bloody Valentine's War...like the Commonwealth girl that was sent here. Though, as I have understood, her's is an extreme case."

OOC: Oh, gotchya. Well, feel free to "bump into" your old char :)
IC:
"Yes, fortunately there are some kids here who aren't quite as in bad of shape mentally. Obviously, being here means something happened and they've all got problems of varying degrees and sorts to face, but some not nearly as bad at others." Jim said. Just then, the elevator slowed to a stop and the doors swooshed open. "Obviously you entered here, but I'll show you around the main floor which includes the various offices for admission, adoption applicants, and so forth. You'll be spending a good amount of time in the adoption applicants office." he said, pointing to a glass-walled waiting room. Currently, three couples sat patiently talking while a forth was being led back to a room beyond the counter.

Jonas winced a little, and said, "Yes it does."

Alisa had snuck up onto the roof again. Over the months, she'd found ways past the prying eyes of administrators. She was brooding, as usual. That woman, Joanne, had left like a coward, instead of owning up to her mistake and moving past it. Now there was someone new...from her Motherland no less. Perhaps he would know better than that foolish woman. From the air ducts, she could hear his conversation with Jim.

----------

"I see," James replied, "I certainly hope I can help those who need it," he commented.

Jonas winced a little, and said, "Yes it does."
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a nurse knocked and entered the room. "Ahh, Samantha, good timing. We're going to need to get some x-rays take a look at a few of his bones. Full body." Bob said before turning back to the boy. "Do you remember what happened with your arm?"

"Why don't we go into the adoption office, that way you get a feel for what's going on in there." he said. As they neared the office, one of the employees walked in with a four year old girl. "Another adoption hopeful. This will be their first time meeting the girl." Jim said, referring to the couple they saw lead out of the waiting room and into a back office about a moment before. "Would you like to sit in and see that?"

"Of course," James answered, "I'm rather new to adoptions. My main focus was the well-being of the children themselves."

"Of course," James answered, "I'm rather new to adoptions. My main focus was the well-being of the children themselves."
"Well, time to get to know the adoption process. As that's part of your new job. Of course, that's not to say you wont be working with the kids." Jim said, opening the door for James as they walked in. "Mary, what room did they go into? James is going to begin working part time down here with you guys and I'd like to show him what goes on in this initial meetings."

"Room five. And nice to meet you, James!" the 22 year old Mary said, flicking back her mid-length brown hair and flashing a smile.

"A pleasure," James responded as he followed Jim to Room five.

"A pleasure," James responded as he followed Jim to Room five.
Jim knocked on the door and then slowly began to open it as the room got quiet. "Hey John," Jim said, talking to one of the employees. "Well hi Jim! What brings you in here?" he asked. "We've got a new employee who I'm letting sit in to see what he will be doing." he said, opening the door all the way to reveal James.

"This is James. And sorry folks, don't mind us. I am one of the head administrators here at The Orphanage." Jim said, nodding to the couple. "Hi Allie." he said in a soft voice, waving at her. "Hi." he said, waving cutely back. She, luckily, was young enough to not be to bad off, given that her parents had been killed in a home invasion robbery.

"James, we can sit by John." Jim said.

"I remember it hurt a lot, then it got better," Jonas said.

"I remember it hurt a lot, then it got better," Jonas said.
"But do you remember if you feel out of a tree or anything?" Bob asked as the nurse left the room to prepare the x-ray.

Jim knocked on the door and then slowly began to open it as the room got quiet. "Hey John," Jim said, talking to one of the employees. "Well hi Jim! What brings you in here?" he asked.

"James, we can sit by John." Jim said.

James nodded and took a seat. He looked at the little girl, and back to the prospective parents. He hoped this would be a good ending...

OOC: You wanna RP with me the couple and the girl?

ooc: sure

OOC: Alright, if you want, you can be the couple - lets call them Fred and Melissa -I'll RP the girl as well as John, who has worked on setting up this match for a few months. The couple knows John - who's about 40 years old - well.

IC:
"Well, Fred and Melissa, it's been a long road, I know. But we've finally got it down to Allie. She seems to fit what you have wanted - happy-go-lucky, sweet, and no more than five years old." John said, then turning to Allie, "Remember I told you about the nice man and lady?" he asked. "Yes..." she said, spinning around. "Well, this is Fred and Melissa. Can you say hi to them?" She turns to them and waves, "Hi!!"

"Hi," said Fred, "Hi, Allie," Melissa said as they both waved. After their daughter had been stillborn, both had worried about concieving again. The road to get even this far had been so hard on both, especially Melissa. And now, it seemed like their prayers had been answered. Fred squeezed his wife's hand reassuringly. "So," Fred's voice quivered a bit, "What now?"

"But do you remember if you feel out of a tree or anything?" Bob asked as the nurse left the room to prepare the x-ray.

"Nope, I don't remember."

"Allie, remember what I told you?" John asked. She nodded and slowly began to walk towards them. "It's ok, you can sit with them. They don't bite." he said. "Do you have a doggie?" she asked timidly to the two adults as she got ever closer.

"Nope, I don't remember."
"Doctor, the X-Ray machines are ready." the nurse said, peaking in. "Thank you." he said. "About how long do you remember? Just today? A month?" he asks the boy.

"Allie, remember what I told you?" John asked. She nodded and slowly began to walk towards them. "It's ok, you can sit with them. They don't bite." he said. "Do you have a doggie?" she asked timidly to the two adults as she got ever closer.

"Yup, we sure do," Fred said in a soft voice. "His name's Arlo and he's a collie puppy," he explained.

"Cool!" she exclaimed. "Can I play with him?" she asked, climbing up next to Melissa, her curly red hair getting into Melissa's face.

"You sure can," Melissa said happily, helping her to take a seat next to her.

"But you have to help take care of him too," Fred said with a smile, "Think you can help us with that?"

"I don't know I was in the woods for a long time. It got cold, and then warm, and then cold again. Now it's getting warm again," Jonas said, getting up to go get his x-ray.

"I don't know I was in the woods for a long time. It got cold, and then warm, and then cold again. Now it's getting warm again," Jonas said, getting up to go get his x-ray.
"Alright, well, lets get you checked out. And then so you have a place to live and good food, you'll be going to The Orphanage." Bob said as he lead the boy down the hall.

Once they arrived as X-ray room one, he pointed to the table. "Why don't you go ahead and take a seat up there now."

"You sure can," Melissa said happily, helping her to take a seat next to her.

"But you have to help take care of him too," Fred said with a smile, "Think you can help us with that?"
"Ummm... Sure..." she said, not comprehending what she was agreeing to. She then began to pull on Melissa's shirt, "Where's the doggie?"

Ehehe," she chuckled, "He's back home, probably sleeping on our couch," Melissa answered, overjoyed by her cheeriness.

ooc: g'night...

"Alright, well, lets get you checked out. And then so you have a place to live and good food, you'll be going to The Orphanage." Bob said as he lead the boy down the hall.

Once they arrived as X-ray room one, he pointed to the table. "Why don't you go ahead and take a seat up there now."

Jonas did as he was told, showing no emotional reaction to what the doctor said.

Ehehe," she chuckled, "He's back home, probably sleeping on our couch," Melissa answered, overjoyed by her cheeriness.

ooc: g'night...
OOC: I'mma go to bed here quickly too... night
IC:
"Why don't you two tell her about home?" John suggested.

Jonas did as he was told, showing no emotional reaction to what the doctor said.
"Boy, you're even-tempered as anyone I've ever seen." he said while grabbing the magnetic 'blankets' to put over parts of the boys body for protection. "Alright, why don't you lay down. This wont hurt, we'll simply be taking pictures of your insides." he said, hoping to coax some kind of reaction from the boy that might be normal.

Bump?

OOC: I'mma go to bed here quickly too... night
IC:
"Why don't you two tell her about home?" John suggested.

ooc: sorry, work/school/afrotc etc...

ic:

"We have a nice home outside of the city," Fred tried to conjure up the image with words, "It's two stories, and we even have a room set up for you," he explained. "There's a lot of fields and places to explore, and there's even a small creek nearby."

James listened intently; the little girl's future seemed to be bright indeed...

OOC: afrotc? np...
IC:
The girl climbed over Melissa's lap and onto Fred's and began poking him. She wasn't really listening, and at four years old, she likely wouldn't have comprehended everything anyway. "You're funny." she said, then laughing, as she continued to poke his face, chest, and stomach.

ooc: so, if she's adopted, would i have free-reign over her life, considering i'm rping the ppl?

ic:

Fred laughed at the precocious tot, poking her on the nose in retaliation.

"Well, I try to be funny," he stuck out his tongue.

OOC: If you wish, then yes. :)
IC:
"Uhh ohh...." she said, picking that up from other kids a little older than her, "I go poopoo." she said. Only a couple seconds later, she began to squirm as a raunchous stench began to emit from her pants.

"Crap..." mumbled John, but waiting for a few seconds to see how the couple would react, this being quite an important - if unexpected - test for them.

"Oh my-!" Fred restrained himself, a bit flustered as his mind scrambled as to what to do. His wife seemed more capable, as she stood up and gathered the toddler in her arms.

"Oh, you poor dear," she tutted, "It's all right, I'll help you, okay?" Turning to John, "Where's the ladies' room?"

John's expression changed to relief, replacing a slight flick of fear. "Let me show you the way." he said with a relieved chuckle as he opened the door. "Sorry about that." he said, looking at Fred.

OOC: Is it too late to sign up, there's already a lot rping going on here already.

Name: Sonia Goni
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Nationality: Indian
Physical Description: Average hight, black hair, i'll elaborate more later
Background Information: Lived in indian village, 7 brothers and sisters.
Does the child know his/her background info?: Y
Other Information: After her villaged was captured, she was going to become a child prostitute, but being too ugly, she was abandonned.

OOC: Nope, not at all. Its open at all times. We want as many people as possible. :)

Accepted, you can go ahead and RP her arrival, or maybe just her waking up on her first full day being at The Orphanage.

John's expression changed to relief, replacing a slight flick of fear. "Let me show you the way." he said with a relieved chuckle as he opened the door. "Sorry about that." he said, looking at Fred.

"Nah, no problem," Fred said with a chuckle, "Just got a bit overwhelmed is all," he admitted, scratching his head. Melissa carried Allie diligently behind John, reassuring the girl that it was all right.

"Alright," he said as they arrived at the Ladies Room three doors down from making a right out of the room, "Here you are. I'll be back in the room." he said.

He hurried back into the room, "So, Fred, how are you feeling so far?" he asked.

OCC: I'm at an orphanage right? So i'll wait till I get adopted, preferably by western parents.

OOC: Yes, you're at The Orphanage, but you don't want to join the char RP?

OOC, I will, I'll just waid for adoption first.

It was another pitiful day, Sonia spent the whole day alone, begging for adoptance.
She cursed the very sky, she cursed the very place, she curse her ugliness and she cursed the day she was born...

"Alright," he said as they arrived at the Ladies Room three doors down from making a right out of the room, "Here you are. I'll be back in the room." he said.

He hurried back into the room, "So, Fred, how are you feeling so far?" he asked.

"Oh, dear," Melissa said with concern as she helped the toddler out of her pants and grabbed some towels from the dispenser. Luckily, most of it had stayed in her underpants, but she went ahead, cleaning up the little girl. "You'll be right as rain in a jiffy," she reassured her.

---------------

"Okay," Fred answered, "I guess a parent has to be prepared for the unexpected, right?"

The girl giggled as Melissa cleaned her up and began sucking on her thumb, one of her many habits in need of breaking.

------------

"Yes, very rarely can you enjoy a day with the unexpected. Just doesn't happen. Just when you think you have it figured out, something you'd never seen before happens. Just as you think you have the kid figured out, they do something that completely shocks you. It's just like change - the only thing you can expect is the unexpected with kids. At any age." he said. "You have any questions or concerns?

Finished, Melissa helped Allie get dressed, sharing the giggle as she hugged the cute darling in her arms.

-------------

"Well, concerns, yes," Fred admitted, "But what father doesn't?"

"Heh... no father had no concerns." he said, "I should know. I got two little rugrats myself from here." a beaming grin appearing across his face.

"Heh... no father had no concerns." he said, "I should know. I got two little rugrats myself from here." a beaming grin appearing across his face.

"Adopted or your own?" Fred asked, curious. James' interest was also piqued...

"Adopted. Jack is twelve, Cindy is six." he said, pulling out a couple pictures. Jack is a heavyset boy with curly dark brown hair and glasses, a bookworm who could barely do a single sit up. Cindy was of average size for her age with a great smile and brown hair that went down to her hips. She, too, wore glasses and was a bookworm as well.

"They're lovely," Fred said as he looked at the pictures. "Lemme guess, they're more into books, right?"

"Who is, dear?" Melissa asked as she returned with Allie in her arms. She took her seat, "All better now," she reported.

"Boy, you're even-tempered as anyone I've ever seen." he said while grabbing the magnetic 'blankets' to put over parts of the boys body for protection. "Alright, why don't you lay down. This wont hurt, we'll simply be taking pictures of your insides." he said, hoping to coax some kind of reaction from the boy that might be normal.

The boy just lay there, as the x-ray machine did it's job. He really wasn't used to talking to people all the time, in the woods it had been just him, and his thoughts.

Name: Gilgamesh(Chosen name) Anderson.
Age: 15.
Gender: Male
Nationality: Steeliosian.
Physical Description: 5'9", dark blond hair, 120lbs, muscular. Lightly tanned skin, with a permanent redness on the shoulders and forearms.
Background Information: Born Raiden Anderson, Gilgamesh lived with his parents on a secluded ranch around twenty miles from the border line. When he was almost fifteen, the Unification War caught up to them. Several rebel soldiers raided his house, killing his father, mother and older brother. He ran through the back door and the soldiers gave chase. He ran for the border, but he only has general idea of where it is.
Does the child know his/her background info?: Y
Other Information: Slightly slow on the uptake though above average in intelligence, very loyal to friends, very stubborn with people who are not. Once he has it in his head that something is useless to him(algebra, chemistry, biology, for school examples) it is very hard to convince him that it is. Excellent memory for 'useless' knowledge, such as characters from a book he liked, or the reason for a war in a game he plays. Over-active imagination, fear of the night(not the dark. i.e. He won't go outside alone at night, even with light.) Does not remember his real name, probably because of trauma and a need for new identity.

(OOC: In this impossibly large world, I figured it wouldn't be difficult for ViZion to have a border with Steelios, or that whoever finds him will turn him over to you.)

"They're lovely," Fred said as he looked at the pictures. "Lemme guess, they're more into books, right?"

"Who is, dear?" Melissa asked as she returned with Allie in her arms. She took her seat, "All better now," she reported.
A smile crossed John's face, "Yes, yes they are." he said to Fred, "And welcome tack Melissa."

The boy just lay there, as the x-ray machine did it's job. He really wasn't used to talking to people all the time, in the woods it had been just him, and his thoughts.
Several minutes passed, the machine doing its job. At the end, Bob came around to the boy, "Alright, we'll have the results in a couple minutes. Lets head back to the room, shall we?" he said.

"Thanks," Melissa said, "Everything's all right, no worries," she says.

"Good," he said. "So do you guys have any questions for Allie?"

"Well, Allie," Fred said as he walked forward and crouched to be at her eye level, "Would you like to go home with us?" he asked hopefully.

"Well, Allie," Fred said as he walked forward and crouched to be at her eye level, "Would you like to go home with us?" he asked hopefully.
"Yaaa..." she said cutely as she begin to twirl around in the middle of the room.

Fred and Melissa smiled, holding each other's hand as they watched the tot dance in the middle of the room. Melissa turned back to John and mouthed, "Thank you."

With a nod and a smile, John said "You're welcome."

Jim turned to James, "We should go," he said quietly, "Let them finish up." he then stood up and opened the door, headed out the of the room.

"That was nice," James said with a smile as he walked with Jim. "They were even given a crisis and performed admirably."

"Yes, that's what we like to see. They'll be given a couple more meetings before determining rather they are the right fit - you cannot be to sure with children. It's not like a car where one test drive and you know or not. Much bigger than that, I'm sure you know." Jim said, opening the door for James as they headed back into the main lobby. "Any questions so far?"

King Cleomenes XVIII had always been said to have been blessed with a gentle and loving soul that kept him in the good graces of everyone who ever met him ranging from his wife who he had met back as a child to the Platonists who had respected him despite their contempt for the past when his forefathers had reigned. On his visit to the orphanage in Vizion, he had decided to wear a simple suit of black with his hair all neatly arranged while the woman he passionately loved wore a simple dress that complimented her figure whilst preserving her modesty so that she wouldn't look like a slut. The two walked calmly into the orphanage with Cleomenes feeling quite happy about how he would give one child a good home back in Aresium. He had already had four children with two of them grown up and out of the palace while the other two remained at home and he had spent hours telling them that they ought to be respectful to their new sister that they were to recieve.

Cleomenes and Helen eventually got to the main desk of the orphanage and with a smile did the titular King of Aresium and living descendant of Emperor Caligula greet the clerk. "I do hope you have us both down on the record. I am Cleomenes XVIII of Aresium and I'm here to meet some orphans for possible adoption. I'm sure you know of my correspondence with Miss Cramerk?"

"Oh, yes, please head to the adoption room over there," a young woman said, standing up and pointing to a glass-enclosed waiting room.

As Jim and James were exiting the room, Jim noticed the couple being pointed to the adoption room. "James, I'd like you to greet them and get them situated." he said.

OOC: FUS, I'm going to let you handle Aresium partly so I can get you involved in this RP with more than just me - he applied and here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14178682&postcount=29) is the list of 5 kids he'll be meeting.

OOC: Just consider my characters into the adoption room. I'll post when FUS greets them.

"Yes, that's what we like to see. They'll be given a couple more meetings before determining rather they are the right fit - you cannot be to sure with children. It's not like a car where one test drive and you know or not. Much bigger than that, I'm sure you know." Jim said, opening the door for James as they headed back into the main lobby. "Any questions so far?"

"Well, if it's not overstepping my bounds," James said, "I'd like to remain attached to this case. Not to replace the caseworker of course, but if he's busy or ill and can't make an appointment, or if he needs an extra pair of hands, I'd like to help."

"Sure, that would be fine." Jim said. "So, shall we greet the couple up there so you can help them? This would be your first full adoption."

"Sure, let's," James said, taking in a deep breath.

Jim walked over with James, "I see you're headed to the adoption office. How can we be of assistance?" Jim said to the couple.

ooc: do u want me to rp them as well?

OOC: No, you'll be RPing with them though when they're on

"Hi there," James said as he walked over to the couple. "My name is James Masden, I'll be your adoption caseworker, how do you do?" he extended his hand.

Several minutes passed, the machine doing its job. At the end, Bob came around to the boy, "Alright, we'll have the results in a couple minutes. Lets head back to the room, shall we?" he said.

[OOC: you know what, this is taking a long time, maybe we should just jump ahead to the arrival at the Orphanage.]

Jonas got up, and went with the doctor.

OOC: Sure, you can just pop into life at the orphanage if you'd like

Bump for continuation?

Jonas walked into the Orphanage, escorted by the police who had found him. He had the same cold distant look on his face. He barely recognized others around him.

As Jonas and the police entered the building, Tammy walked up. One of the administrators, she had received a call giving her a heads up about a new boy being brought in by the police.

"Hello, this must be the young man I was called about earlier." she said, looking at the police then down at the boy. "You're Jonas?"
