We'll start with them heading to school for the aptitude testing! If your character has already taken the test, it's just a normal school day/work day for them depending on age.

{Jubilee}

I walked down the road to school, excitedly awaiting my aptitude test. I could not wait to get away from the life I lead. Everyone knows my secrets, but since I knew I would be leaving, I've been lying alot these past few months. I could get arrested for how much, but honestly, it's comforting to not always have to have people know what I'm thinking.

I settled into line with some of my Candor friends and happily talked with them as we predicted our results. "You're gonna get… hmm…. Erudite I'm guessing Julie."

"At least you didn't say Candor! That'd be lying!" I joked. This was what I loved about my friends. We could joke about Candor without worrying about getting in trouble. If that was possible.

{Ted}

He and his Dauntless friend settled on the Aptitude Test line. I turned to face my best friend, Corrine.

"I'm so nervous." I said. I cold feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Me too." Corrine says.

"I hope I don't get into Dauntless. I always hated it. Lucky you were my friend." I say, bitterly.

Corrine nods her head. "If you don't get into Dauntless, farewell, Ted." she said solemnly, but sorrowfully.

Ted stares at the ground. "Yeah. Bye." The line reached up to him. He went into the aptitude testing area.

A middle-aged woman with brown-white-ish hair introduced herself as Maria. "I'm going to inject this serum into you. You will have a lucid simulation, and what you react to it will tell you your aptitude."

"Okay." Ted said, solemnly.

{Scilent}

I sat alone in the coridoor. I was waiting for my Aptitude test and unlike the rest of Eritude, I sat still concentrated.

"Scient." A tall woman called me forward. I entered the room scilently and closed th door behind me. "I will inject this serum into you. You will have a lucid simulation, and what you react to it will tell you your aptitude."

I lay on the bed and hoped for the best. I didn't want to stay in this fraction.

{Jubilee}

I walked inside and sat at a table with my friends, waiting for our tests. "Jubilee Lerotto." A woman called. By her clothes, I guessed she was from abnegation. I walked into a room and sat down in the chair. I drank down the serum, and slipped into the simulation.

I looked around. In front of me there were two items to choose from. Meat, or a knife. I picked up the knife. Suddenly, some monster that was not human or animal came running at me. I quickly lunged and fell through it, through the floor, and was on a bus. A man was reading the newspaper. "Do you know this guy?" He asked, pointing at a picture. Above it it said suspect of murder. "Nope." I said. The man shrugged. "Ok."

I woke up. "My results?" I asked. "Dauntless and a tiny bit of erudite." The woman said. I nodded and walked outside and back to my friends.

{Ted}

He stared around. In front of him layed meat and a knife. He stared at it. Part of him wanted to pick the knife. But, once again, he wasn't a violent person. He grabbed the meat in anticipation of what he would need it for.

A bulldog appeared out of no where. Ted looked at it scared. Calm down, he told himself. He stared at it.
"Do you want to eat?" Ted said, holding up the meat. As long as you don't eat me. He thought.

The bulldog growled in agreement. Ted petted the dog and fed it the meat. The scene slowly faded away.

Maria looked at me.

"So what where my aptitude results?" Ted said.

"Amity." she said.

Inside his body, Ted was really happy. But he didn't show it.

Jackson Quick ran a hand through his hair, trying to hide his nervousness. He stood with one of his few friends in Erudite.

"Jack, don't worry," his friend nudged him lightly with his elbow, "I'm sure you'll get Erudite. You're plenty clever, even if you can't sit still worth a darn."

That was what he was afraid of. As his friend spoke, he nodded, watching the large group of Dauntless kids leap from the train to line up. Someone remained on the train, dressed in colours that were definitely not Dauntless.

Jack needed to get out of this faction and these formal clothes.

Meanwhile, Jules watched the Dauntless around him rush off the train in the careless way they always do. Despite his bright clothing marking him as Amity, the Dauntless were used to his presence on the train. He'd been taking the train his whole life, and didn't break the habit when he left Dauntless.

The dark-haired young man stared at the lines of kids ready -or maybe not- to take their tests. He remembered that day pretty clearly. That day he held his breath, then heard, "your results are, well, inconclusive..." The rest hadn't mattered. That was his escape...

"Jackson Quick!" The man called for Jack to go with him to take his test. He ran a hand through his hair again, glancing quickly back at his friend to catch the encouraging smile.

Allison seems to be the only one not taking her aptitude test. I'm not entirely sure what to do, so I apologize for the short post.

Alison stood around outside, watching the clouds scud across the sky. Her eyes took on a dreamy glazed look as she slipped away into memories.

Ted exited the test area. He saw Corrine emerge.

"Um. So?" Ted said nervously.

"Dauntless." Corrine said.

"Amity, for me." Ted said, bittersweetly.

"Oh. OK. Bye." Corrine said.

"Yeah. Bye." Ted said.

{Scilent}

I woke up with a calm sigh and looked at the lady. "Oh my god." she was muttering.

"What fraction-?" I began but never fininshed. The lady was ushering me out of the back of the room. "But wait I must know which-"

"You aren't in any. You are a Divergent and you need to be careful. Go on, and don't tell anyone about this, you understand?"

"Yes." I said dazed. Divergent? WOW!

{Jasmine}

Jasmine walked calmly into the room, sitting down on the cold metal chair and letting them inject the serum into her. Of course she had no idea what to expect, but she only hoped she would be staying in her faction. It wasn't that she didn't like the others, she just loved Dauntless more.

As soon as the surroundings disappeared and her choices were given in front of her, Jasmine quickly took the knife, ready to defend herself no matter what would come near her. Seeing someone or something rushing towards her, Jasmine used her knowledge and effectively got rid of the person.

Waking up back in the room, Jasmine looked over at the man who gave her the test and smiled to herself. "What were my results?"

"Dauntless, but you already knew that didn't you?"

"I had a guess." Jasmine stood up and walked back out to where the other Dauntless members were already gathered. Everyone seemed excited for tomorrow everyone got to go to their new chosen factions.

{Sclient}

I stood outside the room paralized. At first, I didn't know what to do but then I walked to my house. It was small, shabby and grey. Not my style but my family had left this house for me so it would do for now.

"Coosing day tommorrow, huh?" said a cold voice behind me. A tall boy in a black suit was throwing a small ball up and down in one hand staring at me. I knew him straight away - Bruce Ellis. He was the meanest in Eritude and always followed me around.

"What do you want Bruce?" I asked aprehensively.

"Nothing much. Just to get you out of my way. What was you result, Titch?" He scorned.

"I bet yours wasn't Eritude or Amity."

He narrowed his eyes and advanced on me. "Listen here, Titch." He said grabbing me by my clothes. "You stay away from me and my gang or you'll be sorry."

He let go and threw me against the wall before scowling and walking away. I felt blood down my cheek and walked into my house. Closing the door behind me, I fell into my bed and fell asleep.

All I had to do now was sleep and get away from Bruce tomorrow.

{Ted}

I started walking home. How would my parents react? I thought. I had always been there favorite child, but they could see I didn't belong in Dauntless. I was too nice. I arrived home. My 4 older brothers where rough-housing and wrestling with each other. I rolled my eyes.

"Hi, mom." I said.

"How'd it go?" Mom asked curiously.

"You know I can't tell you until tomorrow." I said, with a weak smile.

She smiled tentavely back.

@appleblizzard @jazzyleia @featherstar_stormclan @poe @motivecat I'm just gonna check and make sure that everyone has taken their tests that needs to, and if so we can go to the next day and do the choosing ceremony. On that day I'll post what order we go in, it's reverse alphabetical order.

{Jubilee}

Classes went on, and at the end of the day I walked home. I walked into my simple black and white house. All the furniture was black and white…. it got depressing sometimes. I threw my leather jacket onto a chair and walked upstairs. My parents argued with me about it the day I brought it home. Eventually though, I made a convincing argument that at least it was black.

I ran into my room and shut my door. My brother walked across the hall and knocked. "Go away."

"Results?"

"Not telling. Go away." He sighed and walked back to his room.

Leaving was going to be painful, but it was better than staying here.

"Erudite." The tester told him.

Jack felt his stomach drop. That was the last thing he wanted to hear. How was he supposed to stay in a place like this? He was smart, sure, but he couldn't do what the other Erudites did. They sat and read books all day. Jack couldn't sit still for five minutes to study anything. He was a natural and remembering things he was told, and he got by really well on that. He passed all the tests in school. Not a lot of people in Erudite put up with him, though. They couldn't stand him any more than he could stand studying books.

Jackson Quick nodded and left, putting on his best smile to let people watching know he was fine. But inside, he was panicking. How could he leave the faction he was meant to be in, and how could he choose somewhere else to go?

Jasmine went back home with the other Dauntless kids, smiling as she rode the train and then jumped off at her "home." Well her home was just where her adopted parents lived and where she had grown up.

Tomorrow was a new day, a new day of being in Dauntless. Jasmine had no idea how many people were going to switch but even when she was younger, the amount of transfers always astonished her.

Eating quietly and then going to bed early, Jasmine let her eyes drift shut as soon as she was comfortable. Tomorrow...tomorrow was the first day of her new life in Dauntless.

Dillon was nervous has she stepped into the line for her aptitude test. Her hands were shaking badly and she clenched them into fists to make them stop. As she got closer to the front of the line, her hands stopped shaking and she felt braver. 'I can do this' Dillon thought as she became the second person in line and then the first.

She walked into the room and sat down in the metal chair. Dillon looked over at her evaluator and realized she was from Dauntless. "Drink this serum and then please lean back into the chair." her Dauntless evaluator exclaimed as she handed Dillon a cup filled with a blue liquid. Dillon shot it back and then leaned back into the chair as she began to succumb to the simulation.

In the simulation, Dillon was faced with a choice between a knife and meat. She chose the knife and not soon after a dog came barreling towards her. Dillon waited for it to get close enough before she cut the dog down. Once the dog's body hit the ground, the simulation changed and she found on herself on a bus. "Do you know this man?" a scar-faced man asked, pointing at a picture on a newspaper. "I don't know him. Sorry" Dillon lied like a professional. After the words had left her mouth, the man went back to his newspaper and then Dillon found herself back in the room with her evaluator. "What did I get?" Dillon asked, as she hopped out of the chair and faced her evaluator. "Dauntless" the evaluator replied with a smile before sending Dillon away and calling in the next person.

Dillon began her walk home to her house with her older brother and his wife because her parents died of some disease when she was 11. She could hardly contain her excitement as she walked home. 'I can't believe, I got Dauntless' Dillon thought as her eyes began to sparkle with joy.

I think that's everyone! Feel free to have your characters wake up adn head to the choosing ceremony! If I skipped your character, sorry! There will be aptitude and choosing ceremonies for those absent tomorrow. We will start the choosing ceremony once everyone in the Rp is there that needs to be.

The order for choosing is: Alyx, Jubilee, Ted, Jasmine, Scilent, Jackson, Dillion.

{Jubilee}

I woke up much earlier than needed on the day of the choosing ceremony. I got ready and sat on the steps for awhile. Eventually I got up and headed to the choosing ceremony.

I settled down beside my parents, who got there about 15 minutes before me. My brother sat down beside me. He smiled at me. "If you leave…" He said. "We'll all still love you, no matter what." I almost started crying. I couldn't leave them, but I couldn't stay. This was probably one of the hardest days of my life.

Using Phone, sorry for cruddy grammar.

Alison awoke with a start and looked around her eyes bright as she observed her surroundings. Viper always felt this way when she woke up and remembered she was in Erudite. It gave her almost a proud feeling when she saw all that se had achieved in her life.

{Jasmine}
Jasmine woke up the next morning and stretched, smiling to herself. Today was the beginning of her new life as a Dauntless solider. Before all of this, she had only be taught basic self defense as well as how to not kill herself in the process of jumping from the train and doing the other numerous dangerous tasks she did each day.

Dressing in her normal black clothing, Jasmine ran outside and hopped onto the train with a lot of the other Dauntless kids. It was the Choosing Ceremony, one they were pretty much all excited about. Her "parents" would take a safer way into the city and of course she would sit with them. After today, she would only see them when time allowed.

Hearing the train slowing down, Jasmine jumped off with the others and ran up to the building and inside. She knew where to sit and sat down in her seat, waiting as the building began to fill up. Soon enough, she felt her "parents" presence next to her. They were proud of her, she knew that.

@dramatic

(Is it okay if my characters attend their regional Choosing Ceremony? Not to choose, because they already did, but to watch as a citizen? I'm not sure if everyone is required to attend the Choosing Ceremony or not, but I'd like them to be.)

Deleted • 8 December 2014 at 8:37 PM

@nynjahpandagurl yeah that's fine! @poe @motivecat @featherstar_stormclan @jazzyleia @cutebirdy79

Short post, because We're still waiting on everyone to arrive.

{Jubilee}

I watched as the dauntless ran into the room. I had always admired them. They were so free and brave. We were exposed and vulnerable the way I see it. I saw a girl who looked about my age, sitting next to her parents. I wondered if I would get to know her, if she chose dauntless. Having friends would be nice, even if I was new.

{Scilent}

I woke up with a start. Choosing Day. I walked over to my wardrobe and put on my usual Eritude clothes. I walked downstairs and for the first time, I was glad that I didn't have parents. They wouldn't have told me what to choose.

Even as I thought this, I wondered what to choose. I was Divergent so I had a choice. I wondered if I should stay in this fraction or join the ones that I've always been like.

Standing up, I closed the door behind me and made my way to the choosing hall. Everyone was pouring in and I sat in an empty seat with my fraction. Whatever happened, I would always be me.

((Is this the whole ping list...? I feel as though I'm missing someone. I don't have the time to check that, though.))

Jackson Quick looked the most tidy he had in ages today. He woke up earlier than usual to prepare for the Choosing Ceremony. He was still uncertain about whether or not he should stay in Erudite. He sure as heck didn't want to. Could he make it, if he left?

The teen arrived with ample time, early for the first time in ages, as well. They hated his tardiness in Erudite. Jackson sat down with his friend. He didn't have much to leave behind in Erudite.

Jules entered the large, high-ceiling-ed room. He was later than he should be, but he hadn't made a point of being on time. The young man was here to sit with the others from Amity who would greet the new faction members today.

This day he remembered all the more clearly. Jules recalled just how shocked both Amity and Dauntless were when he purposefully chose Amity. The two very different factions surely had the same thoughts: what was a Dauntless doing, leaving to join Amity? He knew some of the Dauntless missed him, and others were mad that he left. Those who missed him were still amused to catch him on the train now and then.

Celestia strolled through the doors of the Choosing Ceremony into a sea of blue. The atmosphere in the Erudite Choosing room was much different than it was in her Choosing Ceremony. She told her Amity parents two days before the event what she wanted to do, and they were fully supportive and proud. They still visit her often, checking on her sucess so far.

Here, the parents were extremely stern. She couldn't tell if they didn't care about their children at all, or they cared so much that they became angry about the possibility of losing them.

Celestia examined the worried teens as they stepped up to the center. She remembered every detail of her Ceremony. After all, it was only 10 months ago. Then, she heard a name: Jackson Quick.

She visited one of his classrooms during her initiation period. He was definitely one of the less uptight students. Celestia knew that he would not stay in his faction.
Farewell, Mr. Quick.
{I'm not going to mention Felix because there's no other characters in the Abnegation Ceremony, and he was too busy to attend the Choosing Ceremony.)

Allison had made her way to where the Choosing Ceremony was being held. She wriggled her way through rows upon rows of seats until she sat next to a boy in Erudite as well. She wasn't late by her standards but by her factions, she was beyond late.

-

He navigated through the dangerous stone empyrean on automatic, allowing himself to be careless out of no good reason than lacking the drive to care whether he fell and cracked his head on the concrete. That and he was sure he could locomote around the compound on steady feet even if he were asleep.
Not far from the actual truth, though the pride his Dauntless and Erudite fuelled in equal parts forbade his mind from acting on the exhaustion that plagued his every muscle fiber. He'd done no heavy labour to warrant the pleasant ache of his biceps and calves (also a reason not to allow himself the luxury of resting - he had not earned it), though he suspected this was a result of just that. Stagnancy.
His naturally powerful body and mind didn't take well to being restricted and, all the more to add insult to injury, both were beginning to wither without an outlet for pent up energy.

As soon as he reached his living quarters, now on solid, fully horizontal ground, he allowed himself to relax. The mere notion of having time to himself was enough to melt him down to an idle state.
As a Dauntless he was loyal to his post and conformed to his faction's sandard of hard work and dedication. No Erudite or Candor was allowed to laze around either, he suspected, but their strictness could hardly measure up. As a low link in the working class food chain, he worked day in and day out. He doubted the other faction members would be quite so enthused to have been called in from their working places for the annual string of choosing ceremonies and the following initiations. He, however, rejoiced in it. Today was fully dedicated to the new transfers and their ceremony which he was never bothered to attend. His duty was to his job, not to the new additions in his faction, and he intended to put the available time to good use.

He began to undress.
The layers were peeled off in sweat and dirt, the filthy mixture cooling onto his skin, no doubt to remain there until further cleaning. The fingers thread through his hair came away greasy and upon noticing, he couldn't help but feel disdainful for neglecting his own body to this extent. His grimy clothing pooled on the equally unclean floor, accumulating even more dirt as he stepped out of them and took his time to stretch his feet out on the cold stone. It felt liberating, humorous as that sounded.
Without worrying about decency, he strode towards the shower, stretching his sore muscles on the way.
A thorought cleaning was certainly overdue.

{Ted}

Ted came into the Choosing Ceremony auditorium. It was tense and packed. The parents looked proud, and serious. He stared at his parent's faces. They were hopeful. He felt a pang of shame, as he sat down.

Feel free to have your characters mingle with others, even if they aren't from the same faction, everything goes here. 😸

{Jubilee}

I looked around and decided to go talk to my friends. "Have you guys decided what you're choosing? Don't tell me if you have."

"But Julie, we're not supposed to keep secrets!"

I laughed. "Maybe today thouh you won't be Candor anymore! I know what I'm choosing, and it definitely isn't Candor."

"I figured just as much."

We went on like this, joking about other factions, our faction, alot of our conversations over the years had been centered around the factions.

Jasmine sat down quietly, listening to the other faction members talking among themselves. Soon enough, she was pulled into a conversation by a friend of hers that was sitting behind her. Both were excited to start training as a real Dauntless solider, but both were also worried about what it might mean to go through all of that.

Alyx knew she had to head to the Choosing Ceremony but she wanted to get there after her parents. She finished her ice cream, said goodbye to Kunz and then headed out the door.

Once she made it into the Hub, she headed over to her section. She noticed that her parents had saved a seat for her but she chose a end seat, far away from her family. She hated how her parents were always so strict with her and how they always seemed to know she was lying. 'Can't wait to leave them behind' Alyx thought with a smirk even though she would miss them a little bit.
