    I step out of the train to find thousands of people flashing their cameras at me. I just calmy walk, although my instincts are telling me to run, to get away from these bazar people with crazy skin and hair. When I meet my stylist, I'm not suprised at what she looks like. She says her name is Aggie. She checks me over to see how my team did, witch is kinda wakward because I'm stark naked, and nodds slowly and goes to get my outfit. When she showed me the mirror, I blinked. I mean, it was decent... I was wearing a black suit with minature forms of transportation stitched into it with gold thread that shined brightly in the light. Where my pants were cuffed up the names of different places where lightly layed on with sparkly sequins.
    (I looked on the internet to find 6 wuz transportation... me forgotz wut it wuz before..)
