<strong>Who: Haylie<br/>Where: Dining room, just arriving.<br/>What: Meeting the others.</strong><br/><br/>Haylie thought that the windowless limo was rather much, especially after the jet ride, but she got in anyway, in spite of her reservations.  After all, she'd come this far, she might as well go on with it.  Surely the experiment wouldn't be one where she would be hurt, or worse, would it?  She understood caution, supposing the organizers were only being careful, and she shrugged off her nerve, telling herself she was just being paranoid.  She wasn't going to be the only one in this experiment, after all.  There'd be plenty of others, so if something<em>were</em>to go wrong, they could work together as a group to get themselves out of the situation, somehow.  She wished the limo would hurry, so she would have something to distract her from the direction of her thoughts.<br/><br/>As if in answer, she felt the car slow, and the view of the mansion had her forgetting about her qualms from a minute ago.  Out here in the setting sun and away from the dark car, she suddenly felt more than a little stupid for thinking the way she had.  Giving a shy smile to the butler, it didn't surprise her that he already knew her name, and she thanked him for taking care of their luggage as he pointed the way to the house.  She wondered if perhaps he might be one of the people behind the idea for the experiment, or if he was simply someone they'd hired to look after the participants and their needs.  Either way, he seemed a decent sort, and his attitude was polite and professional.<br/><br/>Hearing conversation from further inside the house, she followed it until she reached the dining room, seeing that several others had already arrived before her.  She gave them all a warm and sincere smile as she took one of the empty chairs, taking a second to read over the rules and nodding to herself.  Common sense things, really, and all things she could do without a problem.<br/><br/>"Did everyone get the jet and limo treatment, or was that just me?  I'm Haylie," she offered during a lull in the conversation, hoping the others would arrive soon so they could learn what else might be in store for them.
