As Alby and the still unnamed boy walk through the field the teenagers around them throw a few intrigued glances here and there but overall carried on with their jobs. "We eat here, we sleep here, we grow our own food, we build our own shelter." Alby explained as they walked through the humid environment, "Whatever we need the box provides. The rest is up to us." he said, turning back around round facing forwards.

The boy slowly stopped and looked at Alby "The box?" he questioned, while glancing over to the supplies above the 'box' that he also arrived in not long an hour ago.

"Yeh, they send them once a month with new supplies" he tuned to look at the boy "and a new greenie. This month that's you. Congratulations." nudging the boy.

"Sent up by who, though? Who put us here?"

"Ye, we don't know," Alby simply replied.

Hearing light footsteps coming towards them, Alby looked to the owner of the sound as the greenie stood there still thinking of an answer for all this. "Hey, you alright, Alby?"

As he moved to look at who spoke a boy around the same height with sandy blonde hair, chocolate eyes and a sharp jawline walked to them with an amused look on his face.

"Ah-ha, green bean, meet Newt" As the friendly boy greeted the newbie with a strong handshake and a smile while saying hello Alby carried on his introduction, "When I'm not around, he's in charge." pointing at Newt.

Newt looked in Alby direction and stated "Well it's a good thin' you're always around then." in a charming british accent. Tuning his attention back to the greenie he carried on "Listen, that was some dash you made earlier. Yanno for a second I thought you had the chops to be a runner, till you face planted." he stated with a sarcastic but reassuring nod and slight smirk.

As the two laughed, the boy looked at them "Wait, runner?"

The two obviously wanting to avoid the conversation Alby tuned to the skinny built boy "Do me a favour go find Chuck?" Once Newt agreed, she walked off looking for him as First in command had asked.

After thanking him Alby and greenie started to walk the other way, "look, i'm sorry I have to rush this, but you came up a little late. We got a lot to do, and we have something special planned tonight."

Once Alby and the newbie were done with their talk, a chubby slightly red-headed boy stood below the overview post looking up with his arms full of supplies. After gaining their attention they climbed down and walked towards the boy.

Chuck and the unnamed boy walk over to the sleeping area, as the younger boy no more than 14 made the hammock but also rambling on out the glade and other aspects of it, the boy couldn't but pay more attention to the gap between the 100ft walls enclosing them. As Chuck tried to reassure the new boy as he turned around to tighten the rope, he turned to face him only to see him no longer with him. But just his look to find him speedily walking towards the exit of the area, already halfway there.

Caught up with him, he said slightly out of breath: "Dude, where are you going?" he asked hoping it wasn't the answer he was thinking.

"I just want to see" the boy stated curiously, gesturing towards the gap.

"You can look around all you want, but you better not go out there." the younger boy stated sternly.

"Why not? What's through there?" the older one asked, getting closer and closer.
