Please use the character you claimed when the plot was announced.
Jeri had joined the other children in berry picking. Slade had put Near in charge of putting together a berry picking team made up of children. The job was meant to give the children a sense of purpose and belonging. The berry picking site was only about half a mile from camp which would keep things within earshot of the more enhanced mutants. Slade trusted the areas safety since the mutant animals tended not to graze or hunt in that area. Jeri was happy to be on this team of berry pickers, even if she ate more berries than she picked. She giggled throwing s handful of berries into the basket and then another handful into her mouth. She munched happily as she continued picking berries next to Near. "I'm glad Slade gave us a job, especially such a fun one as berry picking." She smiled at him happily with a berry stained smile.
a few feet from the berry picking children a dark figure watched and took down notes as the children moved about. The figure paid special attention to the girl with the red hair. He pulled out a small electronic device and pointed it at her. The machine whirred and clicked before showing the girls vitals. The figure began taking down notes and checking off items on a list. "I'm glad to see you're doing well little Jeri. The doctor just has to make sure you're doing your job properly.
(the first person to respond should be Near, after that it doesn't matter)

Near looked over to Jerry and gave a light smiled "I understand you're having fun, but if you keep eating them, there won't be enough to take back to camp." He said that, even though he decided to reach into the basket to pull out a berry, and popped it into his mouth, juice staining the edge of his white pajama sleeve.

The black haired woman stood nearby, not so close as to interfere with the berry picking but not so far as to be out of range if something bad happened. She wasn't quite sure why she had tagged along, but an unsettling feeling wouldn't let her stay at camp. She looked over her shoulder at the two and smiled lightly. Saika was happy that they were having some fun.

Near snuck another berry, continuing to tease Jeri, but he was getting a bad feeling. He looked over to Saika, to see if she was getting a bad vibe too.

Saika didn't want to disturb the children, but she still couldn't shrug off this feeling. It was almost as if they were being watched. She looked at Near and gave him a look that said something didn't feel right to her.

Near turned to Jeri "Come on, we should go back to camp, we can show Esmeralda the berries." He stood up, holding out his hand for Jeri to grab, not wanting to scare the children with him and Saika.

Esmeralda had woke up by an overexcited Jeri. The little girl was really happy she could go out with near to pick berries. After telling jeri to have fun and stay close to near once something happend she had let her go to have some fun with the others. She was glad the two persons she cared for most were getting along that well. She had promised to walk by once she was done with her chores.

Near turned to Saika, silently telling her to help the other kids get away. Near picked up Jeri's basket of berries with his free hand.

@lightning: Try to let everyone get a chance to respond before responding again. I don't want people to have to jump into the middle of the plot instead of the beginning. We're still waiting for Sky to see it.

Sophie left camp to go to the 'berry site' as it had been dubbed by the children, to take them a plate of sandwiches and glasses of juice. She neatly carried her tray towards the woods, carefully stepping over fallen branches and stones.

Jeri had been having so much fun, she was surprised when Near started acting suspicious randomly. "What's wrong Near?" She was worried about this change, since last time there was a change like this they were attacked. Jeri dropped the berries she had been getting ready to put in her mouth and stared blankly at Near. Her eyes had gone blank and she had become unresponsive.
The figure cursed under his breath as he saw the suspicion that had been raised. He didn't know how they had sensed him but it was already too late for them to do anything about it. He hit the control panel and waited for the show to start. He grinned happily as he starred at the screen which was now showing what Jeri was seeing.

Saika's eyes widened at the blankness in Jeri's eyes. She took a tentative step back and looked at Near. "Near..." She said cautiously.

Near looked over to Saika, and saw that Saika was stepping back. He then turned to Jeri and saw her eyes were blank "Jeri, stay calm, okay?"

Sophie finally got to the clearing where the children were. "Hey it's time for..." she trailed off when she realized that everyone was extremely tense. "What's going on?" she asked.
