Ruby smiled and jogged to stand on the ledge overlooking a 7 story drop into a gaping hole. She waited fora couple people to jump and fod the faction's attention. She stood silently, waiting.
April waited quietly, turning her attention to Ruby.

Luke easily jumped off the train and looked around at all the initiates. Cute. But cute wouldn't cut it.

Kyla tucked a loose strand of her long brown hair behind her ear and looked around, her heart still racing. (can she go first??)

Ruby smiled, looking over the faction. "Hello, Dauntless members and initiates! In case you didn't know, my name is Ruby and I am the sole Dauntless representative." She looked around, making eye contact with as many people as she could. "Several storiesbelow the ledge i am standing on is an entrance to the compound. If you are not brave enough to jump, you don't belong in this faction." Ruby looked at the pack of initiates. "Our initiates have the privilege of going first."
April's eyes widened. They wanted them to jump off a building? As she thought over the logic of this, she decided that they wouldn't kill an initiate for no reason, so it had to be safe. April found her feet moving forward. If she wanted to be accepted by the Dauntless, she needed to prove she was worthy. She was debating whether to go first or not.

(thank you so much spotty!) Kyla looked around. Most of the other initiates seemed sort of hesitant, probably worried that they would die or something like that. Well, Kyla had chosen Dauntless for one reason: because that was where she belonged. She had no fear of jumping: besides, Dauntless would make sure they didn't die. They were just trying to test them. And she was determined to pass. She walked forward and the crowd parted slightly for her. "I'll go first," she said, her voice even.

(Yup)
Ruby grinned at her proudly and stepped aside.
April sighed as her chance to go first disappeared.

Kyla lifted her skirt and stepped up to the small railing surrounding the top of the building. She let her skirt drop again as she closed her eyes. She took a deep breath, exhaled, then jumped. Her skirt billowed out behind her, a flash of rusty red in the midst of the dark buildings. The entire time, as the wind twisted her clothes and hair, her eyes remained closed, right up to the second where the sudden force of something below her made her gasp. She looked down, startled by her sudden stop, then laughed. A net. Of course. She lay there for another second, sort of giddy, before hauling herself up and off the net where someone asked for her name. This was a new place. She wasn't Kyla from Amity anymore: she could give herself a new name. "My name is Kylie," she said with a smile. Th person nodded and said something to the others, but Kyla- Kylie, now- was too happy to hear.

April moved to the front as soon as Kyla had jumped, and announced, "I'm next."
Ruby smiled and gestured for her to go ahead.
April bounded up.onto the ledge and turned to face the pack of Dauntless. She smiled, gave a mock salute, and allowed herself to fall backwards into open air. Her hair came loose from its tight Abnegation bun. Suddenly, her body hit something, which curled around her body, lifting her up. April sat up and grinned. A net. She had just jumped off a building. She reached out blindly to grab a hard, still smiling. When asked for her name, she say April. She had decided that her name would be the thing she didn't change in Dauntless.

Eventually, Justin jumped. He wasn't last, but he wasn't too close to the front: he wanted to give the newbies a chance to show their stuff.

(Ok even if not every character has done an activity, I'm just going to move on.)
Ruby waited for the initiates' attention at the net. She had jumped last. Ruby looked around for Flare. (Whispey do you want Flare to do Dauntless born or transfers?)
April looked at Ruby, wondering what was next

(either one is fine) Flare walked over and stood next to Ruby, crossing her arms with a mischievous smile. Any minute now, she would get to start messing with these initiates.

Ruby grinned at Flare. "Listen up! This is Flare," she tipped her head toward Flare, looking at the initiates. "She and I will be your instructors. Flare will be in charge of the transfer initiates, while I will train the Dauntless born." She smiled, knowing her friend would love to mess with the transfers. "Dauntless born initiates, follow me."

Justin followed Ruby.
Flare waited until the rest of the Dauntless-Borns left.

Ruby left with the Dauntless born initiates, smiling at Flare.
April turned her attention to Flare.
(So do you want to have separate threads now?)
