All the Dauntless initiates sprinted after the train, desperate to get on. The majority of the transfers did get on, thankfully. All the Dauntless-born had made it, much to the lack of surprise to the rest of the initiates. Start a conversation with another initiate, or look out the window while waiting for the next portion of your initiation. |

Oceana sat up against the wall of the train, her hand still bleeding from the Choosing Ceremony, having been unwilling to patch it up. What's another scar to add to the list? She put her head up against the cold metal, her eyes closed.

Carlo Hairston
"Hey, you alright?" Carlo asked the girl with her head up against the wall. He generally was concerned about people, but he didn't always show that too much. He wasn't Abnegation, so it was okay that he thought of himself a lot too. "I'm Carlo." He continued, hoping the girl wouldn't be angry at him for some reason. Then again, he had no idea what to expect from this girl with all of the scars. |

"Oceana." She opens her eyes and scans his outfit. "That explains it. You're from Amity. Always being kind and asking people their names. Common, sit down. It'll be a few minutes before we get to our destination."

Carlo sits down next to Oceana. After a while, he noticed people were jumping off the train. "Oceana, let's go." He said. When he was about to jump, he decided this would be his first move of being Dauntless. Closing his eyes tightly, he barely made it over the gap when he jumped. Hauling himself on to the building, he looked at the other initiates, waiting to see who was jumping off the building first. Apparently, they had to jump off of the building and in to a pit. Carlo's heart began to pick up pace. What if I hit the ground too hard? I don't want to die! |

"Common, Amity, it's just a jump to your death!" Oceana smiled, enjoying teasing him. She pushed a loose stand of blonde hair behind her ear. "If you don't jump, I'll push you for sure."

Carlo glances at Oceana. He then walks over to the edge to the building near the pit that he has to jump in to. He gulps, and backs up, not thinking he wants to jump. Looking at Oceana again, he is afraid he'll get pushed. He backs away from the edge far enough that she can't push him. |

"If you're going to be a sissy about it, we'll jump together, okay?" Oceana stands next to him, nodding her head at the opening. "If they didn't think it was safe enough to survive, there wouldn't be any Dauntless, okay?"

"Alright." Says Carlo. He walks over to the edge with Oceana. "One," He braces himself. "Two," He glances behind him. "Three!" He looks ahead of him and jumps. He feels the wind on his face as he falls towards the bottom of the pit. He hits a net and looks up to see if anyone else is jumping. |

Oceana lands right next to him, laughing as she jumps off. "That was awesome!" She turns to the instructor, helping Carlo out. "Can we do that again?" She asks with excitement.

((OOC: The instructor is currently an NPC, so we can both control him. He doesn't have someone to be him.)) "I have to admit, that was pretty awesome." Said Carlo. The instructor helped the two of them off of the net.
"Well, looks like we have two first jumpers. What're your names?" Asks the instructor.
"I'm-" He thought about it for a second. He wasn't sure if he still wanted to be called Carlo. It reminded him to much of his old faction. "Carlo." He decided he didn't want a nickname. The instructor nods and looks at Oceana. |

"Oceana," she says, folding her arms.
The instructor took the rest of the group, once everyone had landed, through Dauntless headquarters, explaining all the major locations, such as the Pit, the cafeteria, and their living quarters.

That night, (since the physical part of the initiation would start in the morning), Carlo chose a bed. He chose one that no one was next to and that no one had claimed. He didn't want to be a problem. He changed in to his new Dauntless clothes. It was a black muscle shirt and black sweat pants. He thought that tomorrow he would do some exploring of the places in the pit after the initiation for that day. Maybe he'd go to the tattoo parlor. |

Oceana had dragged a bed over to a dark corner, and sat there alone for most of the night. She knew her old factionless friends had watched everyone jump, as they do every year. They always hide in a building overlooking the drop sight, and laugh at how they're all scared.
When morning comes, some Dauntless leader comes and bangs a pipe against the door frame, yelling at everyone to be ready in fifteen down in the Pit.
Oceana grabs her Dauntless clothes and begins to change, her back facing the wall, permitting anyone watching to see her scars, much to her distaste.
Running down to the Pit, she's the first transfer there, the two groups having been seperated the night before for the fist portion of initiation.

((OOC: Sorry I was eating dinner)) When Carlo wakes up to the banging of the pipe, he groans. After he is dressed and ready, he heads downstairs. The instructor, who introduces himself as Jake, then explains what we'll be doing. Carlo glances at Oceana once during this. Jake matches up the initiates. This is what his matchup is on the board; Carlo VS. Oceana 'Oh, crap' He thinks to himself. |
