By the time Molly walked out, he had a satisfied grin on his face though his throat was sore. Giving a half hour lecture on the various ways to both kill and heal someone through one plant alone was something he had never tried before but it was quite cathartic to simply speak to his hearts content. The game makers also tried to stop him multiple times but Molly just barreled along, giving them a nice long lecture. They even had time to fix all the lights during his lecture! Splendid. Everything was like floating underwater, sounds coming half garbled and unintelligible. A quick shake of the head did little to clear the air but Ibaraki did realize that someone's foot steps matched up with the child's own shaky stumble. It felt like moving the world, the simple action of raising a heavy head and focusing tired eyes on whoever it was, a warning snarl building up despite the exhaustion. That was quickly forgone, however, when familiar straw blonde hair was registered. Tayla. And she was speaking too. Pointed ears twitched slightly, straining to catch what was being said. "-red those Game-" "-half to de-" "-ssed, good job." That was all that the child could really catch but a dopey smile spread over a tired face none the less. Ibaraki was praised for doing a good job! No one ever had said that after Ibaraki let the curse run wild! O-of course Ibaraki still had to be wary around Tayla, she hadn't proved herself but maybe Ibaraki could start being less suspicious. Unconsciously, Ibaraki let out a tiny and soft giggle at the praise. "Y-you think so, ma'am? You helped me though. You turned off the lights, right? Thank you ma'am." Came the tired mumble, one hand coming up to rub against a tired shoulder. To Tayla this would only be another mark of bashfulness but moving around was starting to become painful, each step feeling like glass shards stuck in the soles of Ibaraki's feet. The child was also very visibly tired, heavy eyelids drooping and exhaustion slurring well meaning words slightly. [Read more] |

It was dimly lit, only one light bulb replaced on such a short notice. Ibaraki didn't mind, the child felt more at home in the dark anyway. There were other things to mind, such as the game makers. They didn't even have to say anything, their indifference towards the small tribute as clear as day, not even bothering to ask Ibaraki to impress them as they had with everyone else. They just ordered servants to find more lights as quickly as possible so that they could watch the tributes better. "U-um, would it be okay if I started now, sir's?" Ibaraki asked, raising a hand. No mind was paid as servants exited the gamemaker's area in search of more bulbs to replace the broken ones, the only sign that someone heard was an offhand wave. Taking that as sign enough, Ibaraki tottered over to the weights, finding the heaviest one and hefting it high up effortlessly. Ibaraki's arms weren't even trembling as the weight that very few tributes could even move cleared the child's head, showcasing the child's immense strength by walking around the arena all without seemingly breaking a sweat. And to Ibaraki it really was not sweat. The child had always been careful to be in control of the monsterous strength the resided within a cursed body, only ever being scolded for it. Here though. Here the things that were bad could be praised! But no praise ever came. In fact, noone paid any mind, all too preoccupied with regaining their vision. One could see exactly when the child's heart broke, small arms wavering for the first time since the private training started. But rather than sad, Ibaraki was livid. A loud bang caught the gamemaker's attention though as Ibaraki threw the weight across the room and put a sizable dent on the floor, glaring at the people who had ignored the child up till this point. "It is quite rude to not pay attention to people when they wish to show you something." Came the ragged snarl from within the dark, a heavy pressure weighing down even from beyond the force field. From the shadows a heavy footstep that couldn't have ever belonged to a child resounded and then the creature stepped into the light. Ibaraki looked... different. Pale flames licked up one arm and the nub like growths had grown into a full fledged horn. Golden eyes that usually held innocence and positivity was narrowed and threatening, a silent rage that burned as hot as the azure flames that wreathed Ibaraki's body. The fan of white hair was highlighted in blue, swaying under the nonexistent winds as soft skin was rendered sallow by the low light. Perhaps most striking of all was that Ibaraki no longer looked like a child. Instead the small child-like body had grown even beyond human proportions and Ibaraki could now stand on eye level to the game makers. It was a jarring change, something completely unexpected as the gamemaker's room shuddered at the force of one demonic clawed hand slamming against the barrier, the remaining lights shaking. "Remember you manners, sirs." Came the deep throated rumble before Ibaraki retreated back into the shadows. Emerging from the doors, Ibaraki was as the child always appeared, small and weak. Though there was an undeniable tiredness surrounding Ibaraki, each stumbling step broadcasting that loud and clear. Of course this didn't escape the eyes of more predatory tributes, some sneering and marking the child for the kill. But Ibaraki didn't pay any mind, whole body aflame as the curse ravaged the child's small body. Such a change wasn't without backlash and Ibaraki was suffering for it. But for now, the child would seek safety with Cree and sleep the pain away. [Read more] |

Thankfully before anything potentially dangerous could be created, a loud shout had the child startling so badly that the construct fell to the floor, scattering into the many different pieces that Ibaraki had used. The child's lower lip wobbled slightly but other than that, Ibaraki calmly swept the fallen materials into a pile. and began tinkering again. Having felt very proud of himself for teaching Moona some new knowledge, Molly filled his plate with vegetables, snacking on a celery as he watched the other tributes. This year seemed to be full of troublesome tributes and he was hoping to make niceties with some during this time. There seemed to be a group of tributes who seemed haughty and arrogant. If he could appeal to their lofty self image, Molly could strike an alliance with them but then again Molly wasn't just looking to ally himself with a few people, he wanted to ally himself with everyone. But a few people were a start anyways and he began to make his way over to the loudly chatting group. Before he could though, a even louder commotion drew the whole rooms attention. Turning to watch, Molly wondered if playing mediator would put him on the two girl's good list. Probably not. It would be best to watch for now and step in if needed later. He did, however, move closer to observe. [Read more] |

Following Cree's actions, Ibaraki took a good look at the obstacle course. It looked hard and despite seeing a girl breeze through it no problem, many were still failing at it and for good reason. It was hard. Ibaraki would be satisfied with just getting pst the first obstacle, the sheer physical difference between the others and the child too large of a gap to mend. Yes, Ibaraki could bench press almost all of the tributes (Cree was the only uncertainty, he was probably too big for Ibaraki to even get a hold of) it didn't mean that those short arms could grab a hold of the bars resting high above Ibaraki's head.

Molly smiled kindly while shaking his head. "Not at all. I'm here to save people, not to kill. Teaching others the skills they need to survive is part of that mission." He explained. On the inside, he was absolutely estatic. Being able to finally take that first step towards helping people survive longer in the games was the only thread he was hanging on to, the mantra he repeated in order to prevent a spiral of terror. It was unavoidable that he would die but with this first step at least his death wouldn't be in vein. [Read more] |

The pitter patter of small feet filled the hallways as Ibaraki tried to remember which room was the assigned one, each door and hallway looking identical to the last one. But with a little guesswork and a lot of internal debate, Ibaraki is very proud to announce that the first door that was hesitantly opened did indeed reveal to weird man and the slightly less weird woman that occupied the same room as the child. Taking the utmost care to be as quiet as possible, Ibaraki sneaked into the room even being careful to close the door without any noise before creeping over to the mess of blankets in the corner. Silently hiding the smuggled food under the blankets, the child finally let out a ragged breath. Oh, now that most of the danger was over, Ibaraki realized that breath was quite hard, too empty lungs fighting for more air. Ah but showing weakness was a big no no, at least that's what Dad always said. Armed with the knowledge that Akane and Jeremy were still in the room, Ibaraki glanced around for any distractions. There! On the bed! Clothes! Yes, that would work. Hurriedly scuttling over to the empty bed, Ibaraki snatched up the clothes before all but running into the bathroom. As soon as the door clicked shut, Ibaraki let tired legs rest as the child sprawled over the cool tiled floor. Gasping breaths and chilled tile felt nice against the slightly flushed face but there was way too much noise and childish hands clamped over the heaving mouth in an attempt to stifle the noise. A thundering heartbeat was the background music and if Ibaraki concentrated enough perhaps a tune could be forged from the warbling beat. It soon passed however, the labored breathing evening out into something more even as Ibaraki's unique condition began to settle into something resembling normal human breathing patterns. With that out of the way at the very least, Ibaraki at least had the strength to stagger over to the sink to splash water onto clammy skin, much too short to actually look into the mirror and see just how bad the acute attack had rendered the child's appearance. Glancing over at the pile of clothes, Ibaraki hesitantly picked them up. The tank top wasn't terrible on the child, nothing too scandalous revealed. Sure it was tight and restricted precious airflow all while showing that Ibaraki definitely needed to eat more, but all in all it wasn't all that bad. But the one that the child felt most uncomfortable with were the shorts. They fell around mid thigh, short and not all that appealing as Ibaraki constantly tugged the fabric down. Perhaps the real reason why Ibaraki disliked it though was the fact that it put on display scaled legs that bent awkwardly almost like a birds. They were quite ugly with the scales bunched up in odd patterns that seemed to make no sense. It simply wasn't very humanoid and Ibaraki was much too tired from earlier that no energy could be spared to try and hide grotesque legs. Chewing dry lips, Ibaraki shucked the shorts off and replaced them with the track pants from before, Dad's words ringing as the child shyly shuffled out of the bathroom. Have to hide the ugly parts. Have to keep safe. [Read more] |

When it was all said and done, Ibaraki was left breathing heavily on the bathroom floor, hands twitching ever so slightly. It was a sacrifice that Ibaraki thought necessary. Everyone was going to be training after all and it would only be a hindrance to what the child could do without worry. Besides, the capitol only gave tank tops leaving no room for Ibaraki to hide monstrous hands. Staggering to the door, Ibaraki slowly shuffled down towards the mess hall, not all that hungry. But even in the mess hall Ibaraki couldn't quite catch a break. Tyler's appearance and haunting words certainly did catch the child's eye but there was no sense of fear to be seen within them. After all, Ibaraki knew of scarier things than Tyler [Read more] |

Scampering out of the bathroom, Ibaraki ignored the beds and instead picked out a corner of the room where two walls meet, giving a sense of safety. With the spot picked out, Ibaraki set to work folding up the face towel into a nice square before sitting down. This was a much nicer bed than what Ibaraki had at home but it was just comfortable enough that the child could easily sleep. The perfect combination. With the sleeping situation all sorted out, oversized sleeves reached up to start untying the braids that had been woven into fluffy hair. [Read more] |

Stepping off the charriot, Molly let out a yawn and sauntered through the hallways. His room was close enough thankfully and opened the door to his room. There didn't seem to be anyone in his room yet and though there were other names inscribed along with his, Molly didn't stop for long enough to read who it was. Ducking into the shower was perhaps the best part of the day as through his mind formulas and medicine ran through his mind. Things that could be made from all matter of ingredients, plants, animals, even unorthodox ingredients such as stones were reviewed as he lathered shampoo through thick pastel locks. But when it was all said and done, Molly exiting the shower feeling quite refreshed, there was still worry gnawing away at the boy's heart. What if the arena turned out to have an environment that no medicine could be crafted from? What if he died during the bloodbath and couldn't save anyone? These worries raged on in his mind as he got ready for bed. [Read more] |
