After the council meeting, Tatum was tired. Sitting in a chair for hours on end was not comfortable, no wonder she didn't like school. Vern was upset that she decided to sass him in front of the whole STARS faculty. What took extra long in this meeting was Vern saying the names of people who were going to be in what divisions. He stated that there was hundreds of Immortal teams to go through, and the first testing all team start with 1000 members and as weeks go on certain numbers get cut. It's random, one week they can cut 100 people, the next they only cut 50.

During the meeting, Vern mentioned they will get their assigned team numbers as 'fate', but Tatum thought it was just a bogus, random generator. It took him forever to get to the R last names, once he finally did, Tatum had to wait a few more minutes before her name showed up on the big screen. It randomized numbers and was going really fast for a few seconds until it landed on one:

Tatum Reed

Unit: I-1 Division

Ryung was happy for Tatum, as she got the same one. She also mentioned it's a big deal to be on the first team because they are the most professional.

Tatum learned during the meeting that STARS is from Korean descent. It was honored as a heroic and historic facility. A lot of members were Asian natives, but as time changed different races such as Caucasians, Indians, Hispanics, African Americans, etc, were encouraged to join.

Learning that Mandem has been around for millions of years, and same with Immortatliumness but STARS for not nearly as long.

As everyone exited the Council Meeting, Ryung and Tatum headed back to their dorm room.

"We got to hurry, if we want to make it to the party." Ryung says as she grabs Tatum's hand.

"What party?" Tatum asked confusedly. She was tired from sitting during the meeting, she wasn't really in a party mood. She didn't like parties to begin with. After minutes of walking and the elevator, they make it to their dorm and they step in. Ryung locks the door, as they step in so no one can waltz into their room.

"You have to go! It's a welcoming party for new immortals." Ryung said with a smile. "You're a day late, usually immortals arrive on the weekends to get a feel for the place, but I know you'll be alright." She says as she opens the closet door.

"T-thanks." Tatum stutters out. "I don't really have anything to wear to the party though, so maybe I shouldn't go." She says, trying to find any excuse to ditch the party and just stay in the room.

"It's okay. I have some stuff you can borrow." Ryung says as she throws a black bodysuit to Tatum. It is long sleeved and the sleeves are see-through, the middle of the bodysuit has a lacy print on it. She also gives Tatum bright pink dress pants.

"Wow, these are nice. I don't really feel comfortable wrecking your clothes." Tatum says to Ryung.

"No, you'll look great. Also, take these." Ryung says as she hands Tatum strappy small black heels.

"I'm not really a heel person." Tatum says with a small smile.

"You will be after today." Ryung says with a smile. Ryung grabs a navy blue top with glitter on the front and black shorts, she wears knee high black socks with black heeled short boots.

"I can do your makeup!" Ryung says excitedly.

"No, it's alright." Tatum says, trying to fight it.

"No, I insist." She says as she guides Tatum over to her bed to sit on.

"You can meet my friends at the party." Ryung says with a smile as she gets her makeup bag.

"So, the I-1, that's so exciting." Ryung says as she put light eyeshadow on Tatum's eyelids.
