He was posted up outside the doors of the rec center, his head turning as he heard footsteps approaching. “You got the time?” He asked, foregoing his customary habit of being overly polite. 

He caught sight of someone standing by themselves near a wall, gesturing for them to come over. “Come on, it’s a party.” He insisted, stepping closer to and coax them away from their post. “Drinks on me.” He teased with a grin.

Standing at a fork in the sidewalk for several moments, he finally decided to do the unthinkable and turned to someone to ask for directions. 

“Hey,” He started, his frustration tinted with apology. “Do you know which direction the Rec Center is in?”

He squinted against the glaring sun as he reluctantly emerged from the staff building, stress-eating a second lunch as he walked towards the administration offices. “You guys really trashed the place, huh.” He commented to a couple of detainees as he passed them by. “And you wonder why they don’t want you running loose with that kind of power.” He muttered more to himself. 

He checked around the corner before stepping into the hall, following the sound of voices coming from one of the classrooms. “It was a bad week in a bad month; maybe even a bad year. Maybe even a string of six bad years.” He muttered to himself as he crept closer. “The staff was calling it the worst crime spike the compound had ever seen, but I’d heard enough to know that was just the fresh meat spouting off.” He leaned against the wall and slid closer to the edge of the door-frame, holding his breath only to get it knocked out of him when someone came flying out of the classroom.

“Whoa,” He held his hands up in front of him as he took a step backwards, knowing better than to look like he’d been trying to sneak up on anyone in this place. “Is there a fire?” He asked with a small grin.

“It takes a fuck ton of stupidity and/or audacity to act like you’re the one being wronged for being punished when you knew the rules and chose to break them anyway.” 

Tumblr’s tagging system is broken, so below is a list of open starters that were posted in the past week. If I’ve missed anyone please comment on this post with a link to your starter and I will add it to the list!
