By the time I had arrived back in the garden of the centre the moon was well up in the sky. When leaving I seemed to have not planned out how to get back in, it had completely skipped my mind. The light in the room was now also on meaning that my roommates where back in the room. yay social interaction at whatever o'clock at night, my favourite thing to do.

Back to trying to get back in, what would people do in the movies? Oh yes they throw rocks at the window. Time to see if these American movies have been lying to me this entire time. I looked around for something that could be thrown at a window and cause little to no damage. It was dark so trying to find something was hard but eventually I found a small patch of pebbles. Perfect.

Picking a fistful up I shoved them into the pocket without my money in it and walked back over to the windows. Trying mine would be useless because knowing most foster kids they don't like going into unknown people's areas. So instead I aimed for the other window in the room.

After three horrible attempts I managed to get a hit on it, no body appeared. I tried again and after only two tries hit it. This time the curtains were drawn back and someone around my age looked down at me. 

I pointed at my window and back to myself but they didn't seem to get it and just walked away, well that was a waste of time. After what felt like 5 hours they came back with a shorter person who looked quite annoyed. He took one look at  me and face instantly changed and he looked like he got the message.

The shorter person opened the window that wasn't mine and shouted down at me 'Just a minute' and closed the window.

Again he appeared a moment later but this time at my window and pushed it open the remainder of the way. Not a second later he threw down a rope that had multiple knots tied into it and gestured for me to climb it. I wasted no time in doing so, only realise how cold it was.

Surprisingly it didn't take that long to climb the rope, he knots making it 10x easier. Both of the people that were at the window before were both now in my section of the room. As I climbed full through the widow the shorter guy pulled the rope back in and closed the window

"Care to explain who you, are and why you needed to be let in through the window at what.... 10:27 at night?"

"Oh right, um... names Thomas... Thomas Jacobs? I was placed here  today."

"You're the new guy that everyone's been talking about?"

"Yep, that's me."

"So what were you even doing that you needed to sneak out so early, or why didn't you just use the front entrance"

"I've never been placed at this centre before and didn't know the rules, like if there were curfews or if I was even allowed out"

"That makes sense I guess, Well I'm Grayson but everyone calls me Purpled and this is my brother."

"Punz, 17 Grayson is 15. Anything that you would preferred to be called?"

"Uhh... everyone usually just calls me Tommy or Tom, oh and I'm 14."

"Also so we don't misgender you, what'er your pronouns?"

"Oh I'm he/him. And you?"

"he/him"

"They/them" (based on dsmp character not CC)

"Well as much as I would love to stay and chat I have something I really ned to be getting on with so not to sound rude but could you leave me alone?"

"Of course, moving to a new place is always stress full. Come on Punz lets go bully kids on roblox" Purpled screamed running back behind the curtain.

"Sorry about him he's an Ipad kid have fun with whatever your doing and feel free to join us later, Oh by the way breakfast is at 8am." They said whilst walking out.

Now finally I can get to work. I the small pocket knife from out of the side pocket on my bag and sat down at the desk. I pulled my phone off charge and used the torch to see the tiny fiddly parts. I took the bracelet off my wrist as well as the charm holders from out of my pocket. Emptying the contents out onto my work surface I took a short time to inspect each one and decide which one was in the best conditions.

I attacked the chosen one onto the bracelet and moved onto the crystal. Using the pocket knife I started chipping small parts off the sapphire until I had the correct shape. Using a tad bit of magic I secured the now smaller crystal to the charm holder.

I help it up into the light coming from my phone torch and admired my work, one charm down eight to go. Those eight being: Angel of Death, Blood God, Shifter, Strike, Jester, Pandas, Tubbo and Ranboo. Everyone I care about and the people I'm going to be working with, this project will make healing any of them alot more convenient.
