eh why not, here's my overused second character palpad group chat my beloved <3  Show

Name: Mei Akamatsu Age: 18 Gender: Female District: 2, Masonry Power: Umbrakinesis, the manipulation of shadows Strengths and Weaknesses: Strengths - Mei is incredible when it comes to using weapons to their fullest, not just for their intended purpose (although being up to no good is her number 1 priority). She is quick on her feet and highly intelligent, her agility, as well as her combat skills and knowledge, are some of the best around. She also knows how to get into other peoples' heads, twisting her words as much as possible. Mei is also a great actor, taking on many forms depending on the situation, manipulating the hell out of everyone she meets. Weaknesses - In short, she doesn't have a heart. Mei experiences little to no empathy towards others, and she could be considered borderline psychotic. Her only goal is to "have fun" and make sure to get the most out of the suffering of others. Mei is also only slightly above average in terms of physical strength, and she doesn't have that much care for what happens to herself. It is also difficult for her to make allies due to her nature, and her confidence/lack of boundaries or limits could be her downfall. Other: [Read more] |

Daiko Character name: Smoky (Great Smokey Mountains), named Taylin before the outbreak Age: 31 Gender: Female Appearance: Here Personality: Rugged and rough, harsh and cold. Smokey is almost constantly yelling, her words possessing a harsh edge every time she speaks. It's never easy on the ears, and she could only be described as your stereotypical drill sergeant. Smokey has no concept of physical or mental limits, almost always pushing herself and others to the point of collapse. She's a hard, but demanding worker, seemingly only having her mind set on survival and nothing else. It's gotten to the point where she seems to be a machine, showing no emotion or care for anyone or anything. She finds allies to be a hinderance, insisting on going solo unless absolutely necessary. In reality, she's just another one of my edgy and traumatized characters and just needs a hug. Poor gal. Definitely has the potential to be soft if she doesn't stab you for going in for a hug, or show a suspicious amount of kindness to her. Weapon(s): Barrett M82 Sniper rifle and a Sickle Other: I have literally only seen the TV series, so apologies if I'm a bit lost/inaccurate lol RP Grew up on the edge of Gatlinburg, some ways into the wilderness of the Smokies. She was fairly young when the outbreak hit, but chose to stay local until she was forced out when raiders, military, and infected started trickling in. Her and her fairly large family went on a fun little Oregon Trail adventure and headed west, inevitably running into issues along the way. Insert your typical story about sacrifice, betrayal, surprise infections, and you're left with Smokey and her father, plus her eldest brother, still on the run. Oh yeah, she's bi btw, the rest is TBRPD Can I add you to a GC with everyone else in the RP?: Yup [Read more] |

Name: Atmós "Fahren" Solron Age: 17 Gender: Male District: District 5, worked at the dam Power: Extreme and quite sensitive hydrokinesis, also has a form of "x-ray vision" that grants him visibility of any kind of water, almost like a sixth sense. This also causes his vision to be "static-y" and blurry due to water vapor in the air, but he can kinda see through walls I guess. An odd downside to this is, due to technically always being active because of his vision, Atmós tends to overexert himself and becomes dehydrated much quicker than the average person. Strengths and Weaknesses: Atmós is very attentive and can utilize his ability extremely well, he's one hell of a quick thinker as well. He has quite the bubbly and outgoing personality, hardly a pessimist which sure does come in handy for such a depressing scenario. While not all that strong physically, he can still pull his weight and his strength comes from other places. Due to his fun little "perk", his stamina and endurance is awful if he's out of the water or not chugging a jug every so often. Because of only being able to exert himself while submerged, his physical strength really only shines there. Also, his personality isn't all sunshine and rainbows, he quite often takes his jokes too far and can be pretty insensitive at times. Not only that, he's a bit of a sadist in regards to using his ability on others. Other: might add another idk lol [Read more] |

Nefaria Alect Show
hidden content
♥ Character Name | Nefaria Alect ♥ Aliases | Fué ♥ Age | 21 ♥ Gender | Female ♥ Pronouns | She/They ♥ Sexuality | Homoromantic and Heterosexual ♥ Appearance ♥ [ 👀 ] ♥ Personality ♥ INTJ-T While appearing to be seemingly quiet and laid back, Nefaria can become quite the opposite when riled up. She has no problem with talking to others (usually in the form of bribes or some other back-handed means, but we don't talk about that) and can be seen a quite sociable at large events. She loves getting to know others, and not just because it's valuable information. She genuinely finds human nature to be fascinating, almost to an unsettling and obsessive degree. When conversing with others, though, she hides behind a mask of being energetic and kind, as it is rare for any of it to be genuine. Nefaria doesn't really mind this flaw, an integral part of one's humanity, but she's hardly unable to have kindness in her heart for others. She sees humans as "creatures", like one would see a dog, but she doesn't see herself as greater than anyone else. Growing up in poverty in the mountains of Sicily, she had learned her way around the cruel world she had to call her home very quickly. Using her youth and natural beauty to her advantage, Nafaria barely made it by with her two siblings and widowed mother. Abandonment and failure has always terrified the girl, and being bombarded with instances of that fear for most of her life only made it worse. She resorted to the philosophy of, "Break them before they break you," and insists on keeping information about herself hidden, even the smallest details. Strengths - As stated, she is a merchant of information. Her memory and critical thinking skills are on point, and she has a great work ethic. Although it's not her job, she is quite drawn to the behind-the-scenes efforts in modeling. Nefaria can put on a pretty face and tailor herself to any situation, although she isn't perfect. Weaknesses - Naturally, she thrives on cruelty and deceit, so anyone who has seen a glimpse of who she is behind the face made for the camera will most likely stray away. It's nigh impossible for her to empathize with other people, and she has difficulty seeing outside her own world. ♥ Sin ♥ Gossip Information. Information is key to a girl like her, getting to know the dits and dots of every little detail. A cruel spectator who flows through the shadows, behind the scenes of any setting she dwells in. A whisperer in a poor passerby's ear, the voice of reason in a fragile mind. A silent eavesdropper with no remorse for the words that hurt more than sticks and stones. She sees herself as the merchant of knowledge, gaining power and importance through means of gossip. An excellent manipulator and liar, twisting words and scenarios to fit her perfect reality. So yeah, she's Regina George. ♥ Additional Info ♥ Even though she's only been outside of Sicily for 2 years, Nefari has tamed her accent and adapted to the drastic change quite well. Unfortunately, she doesn't have many household talents such as cooking and maintenance, but her pride gets in the way of letting others do it for her. Plus, she considers it "invasive" or something like that. Her taste in activities is quite unpredictable, ranging from sports to obscure hobbies, and even journaling to pass the time is all in her array of daily life. Nefari enjoys modeling casual wear and posing in general, but one particular modeling experience she enjoys the most is extravagant dresses and "old-fashioned" clothing. This would probably be odd considering she is only seen in loose clothing and actively shares her distaste for confinement. She is very fond of imagining scenarios, fantasizing the ideas that she sees in movies. Her favorites are campfire stories, such as sing-alongs and cozying up with a partner. Although she knows it'll most likely never happen due to just how differently those situations play out, she still finds enjoyment in her own world. 🤍 [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Too much had gone on that Akari nor his writer could be bothered to pay attention to, and therefore, he had just been sitting in his own little edgy circle of the room, watching from afar. Then those damn bears came up again, mentioning some weird "workout" or whatever. Lovely, guess that was his cue to leave. He was not going to stay around for this and definitely didn't want to be involved with whatever had been going on. But regardless, whether he wanted it to happen or not, prom was rapidly approaching and he had a strange feeling he couldn't get out of this one. Unfortunately, he could not get some food beforehand, but at this point he didn't think he could hold it down anyways. He made his leave without a single word, deciding that anywhere was better than the cafeteria at the moment. He didn't exactly want to go back to his room either, it was a bit redundant at this point and well... Yeah, probably not best to go back for now. So instead he made his way to the secluded, merely forgotten library, probably the quietest part of this horrid school. At least, he hoped so. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare he's rockin around the christmas tree ig Cassidy Louvin Cass stood in silence for a bit, blinking rapidly out of pure befuddlement. What... Just happened? Or rather, what did he say? She stared at the wallet in her hands and opened her mouth to reply, only to be too utterly confused to follow through. "I- Uh..." "I'll buy you a coffee! On our way to... Er... 21 Stryd Neidio? Yeah. There. Er... Cass." "A-alright... Thanks...?" Was all she could get out, at least, not until she recovered and was able to actually process it all. "Oh, no it's fine, Niwa! Didn't do a thing, really, don't worry about it! 'Preciate the offer but you don't need to-" She paused, figuring this was probably leading to nowhere. Well, now she actually felt bad, it was just a back and forth and Cass wasn't doing much to clear the situation at hand. "Well... If you insist-... I'll uh-" She perked right up again, seemingly getting rid of that nervous and flustered air that plagued her. "I'll pay you back! But uh..." She looked over at Iliya and sighed. "Guess we should get goin' then, huh?" [Read more] |

Cassidy Louvin Huh. Did he really not know her? Well, it made sense, Cass was sorta new here and didn't really know all of her fellow employees well, so she really couldn't expect them to know her either. She heard about Niwa and all, but not much about the other guy... Oh well, guess this would be the perfect time to do so then. She made her way over to the duo, giving a bright smile as she continued to wave. "Hellooooo~! Yup! Cassidy Louvin, at your service! Nice to uh-" She held her hand out for a handshake, letting out a sheepish chuckle while doing so. "Formally meet you, Niwa." "We're on the same case, though you probably already knew that so I probably should shut up now and- oh boy." Cass gave him an amused smile while lightly laughing to herself, finding his fumble humorous. "Don't worry about it, honestly. And yeah, Cass'll do juuuust fine. Cassidy, Cassi, Cass, Dee..." She began to trail off, "Y'know, any sort of whacky name you can come up with will be a-ok for me!" Oh. Right. She was supposed to be more put-together than this, she was at work for christ's sake! Talking to someone who was technically higher up than her too... Oh god, this was going great. Hopefully she didn't seem too... Unprofessional. "Ahh sorry! Getting a little too worked up about this, aren't I-" She muttered quietly, her entire demeanor seemed to recoil and constrain itself. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare what's he supposed to be doing again Cassidy Louvin Hm. The place seemed lively today, not that it was unexpected but it was really just... Unsettling. Cass hadn't started the day off on the note she would've liked to have, and instead was on the verge of crawling into a corner, rolling up into a ball, and crying her eyes out. Even still, she kept her head high and her smile up, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Anyways, she got the news that today would be somewhat interesting at least, but to start it off she would need to head to the office of someone's name I cannot remember. Aww man... Guess that means she couldn't get her other work done, or hang out at the forensics lab like she had hoped... Oh well, she couldn't pass this up, right? She made her way to the assignments board and peaked around for her own name, finding it listed under an assignment alongside two others. Niwa Atsushi Cassidy Louvin Iliya Orlov Volkov Interesting... One of the detectives and an intern, this should be alright. They seemed to already be in the room, so she looked over and gave them a little wave, stopping at that. [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mei backed off, as requested, but made sure to do a little tomfoolery before she left the train cabs. The voice booming over them obviously dampened her mood, as shown by the eyeroll and a complete drop in her childish mannerisms. Mei was one of the last ones out, and on the way she saw... A familiar edge-lord walking along as well. How convenient. She immediately began to frantically wave and excitedly grin in his direction, moving closer while calling out some weird ramblings. "Yoohoo, look who it is! Fancy seein' you again, ain't it?" She took the time to notice the lack of life in general around the city, but drew no attention to it. Odd, sure, but she had other things to focus on. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ugh that voice was like nails to a chalkboard, no matter how smooth and elegant it sounded on the surface. Instantly, he was weirded out by the complete desolation he had found himself in. Wasn't this place supposed to be... I dunno, overwhelming? Filled to the brim with citizens surrounding their new TV pets, a conglomeration of too many noises and lights to distinguish, and most of all, wasn't there supposed to be more structure? The best they got was a run-down intercom and vague directions? The thought almost worried him. "....i'm following you, Daischon. I don't have the greatest sense of direction." ...This wasn't going away any time soon, was it? It seemed as though Minya had already designated him as an "alliance" of sorts, against his best wishes. Oh whatever, not like it mattered. He simply gave a shrug as if to say "fine by me" before making his way to the building specified. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Liela slowly got up and clutched her sides, keeping her head low as she stumbled forward. The world almost became nothing to her at that point, just inputs that were being relayed as static in her mind. Moon's voice was just senseless utterings, the barren city around her was just a void of no meaning. She always dreamed of being here, honestly. It just seemed so nice, such a peaceful way of living. It always seemed so lively from the videos she saw of her sister walking these same pathways. Too bad it was nothing like she imagined, but at this point, she didn't really care. A hatred for these scumbags had already soaked up all her admiration. Without hardly any thought, her feet strutted over to the building and walked inside. ... Odd. The windows were tinted black, and the air seemed to be significantly more chilling over here. The silence only seemed to get louder, and the general aura of this building was... Foreboding. Liela took a deep breath and pushed the glass door open, only to be hit with a gut-wrenching smell and sounds so horrific it was incomprehensible. The room was filled with the rotting corpses of the Capitol citizens, all glamourized as they normally would be. The only problem was, these corpses were still moving. As soon as the door opened, a unanimous shriek was let out among them all and the sound of dozens of chains rattling all rang out at once. These zombie-like creatures had been chained to the floor and walls, and the smell of living flesh agitated them. Liela jumped back in fright, letting out a scream alongside the undead as she fell to the floor and backed away. Her body immediately began to shake and her breathing became erratic, yet her widened eyes were pinned on only one thing. It was a hanging body in the middle of the room, completely separated from the corpses chained to the ground. This one seemed to be in a fresher condition, and it was unmoving. An odd substance seemed to still be dripping from its mouth, mixed with their blood and matching the color that ran through their veins. Its entire left arm was bent completely backwards, pointing to the stairs leading to the basement behind them. Then the intercom inside the building flared to life once more. "Welcome to the Hunger Games, tributes. Now, let's have a little fun before the main event, shall we?" [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Sure do! I mean, if the Capitol has fun with this nonsense, why shouldn't I?" Mei's tone almost seemed to turn bitter upon the mention of the Capitol, and it continued onwards. "Especially when they give us the oh so gracious pleasure to fall in an arena instead of their poor excuse for an apocalyptic simulation, right? Like come on! Show a bit more enthusiasm, eh?" Every word had a sharp edge clinging onto it, and et she still kept up the same demeanor she held this entire time. "You're so weird." Mei gave a sigh, then lightened up a bit, relaxing her stance and stepping back from Minya's face. "Mission accomplished then, right?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Yaaay! We're gonna be the dream team." Dream team, huh? Like that would go well. Mar hadn't planned on teaming up with anyone, he was opposed to the idea actually, so guess he would have to figure something out. "I think Daidsbajrwk suits you better." He almost groaned at that comment, instead shrugging once again and making his way back to his seat while he ate his own little snacks. It was almost like she was mocking him at this point... But hey, he had been called worse, not like it would matter in the end anyways. "Whatever floats your boat, Maelynn..." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Leila. That's a nice name...?" Her voice was getting smaller and smaller as time went on, but she still made the effort to speak. "Thanks... Yours is uh... Nice too, I guess." She muttered, still unable to look directly at him. Well, that is, until he stuck his hand out. She looked over at it for a moment, slowly bringing her arm out to shake it. "Pleased to...uh....meet....you?" "Y-Yeah... Same here." If only it was under different circumstances... And with that, the train began to slow down as the tributes all arrived at the station designated in the Capital. What was once a crowded greeting, filled with lights, colors, noises, and all sorts of festivities, was now an almost barren wasteland amidst an equally dull city. It was nearly quiet, and there was no one in sight. If this were a cartoon, you'd see a tumbleweed or two float along on the road right in front of the newly arrived tributes. As soon as they stepped out of their cars, some quicker than others, one of the nearby speakers on a tall post blared to life. First, the piercing screech rang through the open street before leveling out and revealing a familiar voice behind it all. It was Moon once again, with that same sickening tone. "Welcome, tributes! I hope the train ride was sufficient enough, you've got quite the show to look forward to! Now, please make your way to the first building on the right, I have no doubt you'll be able to find your way to the main building from there." [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mei stuck her finger out at Daichön and gave him a little push, leaning forward to return the hostile glare. "He's probably tired of all your bullcrap, honestly." "Aww, so soon? I've hardly even done anything and you're already sick and tired of me?" Mei pouted, still glaring at the man looming over her as she crossed her arms. Upon being asked the age old question, Mei simply shrugged and smiled, reaching her hand back to grab some more fruit as she stuffed it in her mouth. "I dunno, why not, right? We're aaaalllll gonna miraculously perish at each other's hands soon anyways, so what's the harm in having a little fun?" She somehow said all that clearly, even with her face stuffed. Don't ask me how. "I swear to God, no matter how delicious they are, if you throw me one more goddamn cheese cube, I will find you, in the Games, and I will kill you." "And my buddy, Dai- Di- Daiscjolmkndfk will help me!" "Right?" Completely out of the blue, a seemingly hearty laugh was let out before she plucked a strawberry off a platter and leaned forward closer to Minya, placing it onto her lips as she grinned. "Don't threaten me with a good time, alright sweet cheeks?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mar didn't even bother with listening to this girl's bullcrap, it was all just useless blabbering anyways. He simply narrowed his eyes and scoffed at any comment she tried to make. "I swear to God, no matter how delicious they are, if you throw me one more goddamn cheese cube, I will find you, in the Games, and I will kill you." "And my buddy, Dai- Di- Daiscjolmkndfk will help me!" "Right?" He simply gave a defeated sigh and shrugged, not even bothering to save himself from whatever he was getting into. "Uh huh... Sure, I guess." "But if it's really that difficult to say my name, just call me Mar..." He muttered under his breath. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "...My name?" Oh right. She'd been too busy crying like a baby to do any proper interaction. She wiped off the last of her tears and readjusted herself to be more upright, lightly clearing her throat as well. "Oh, right... Liela Dae-" Daelbrook. That name was like a ragged blade running along her tongue, it no longer held the pride and comfort it once did. It hurt to think about, hurt even more knowing she was the onl survivor in her family line. She would be the one to carry it, maintain its weight and honor, and maintain what her sister had built up. But all that was going to waste on a sheep being hauled off to the slaughter. Even if she won, would that even be enough to make her proud? "...Daelbrook. Liela Daelbrook. And... you?" [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mei would remember that. Anyways, back to cheese basketball, featuring Minya. Sure, she was slightly amused at Minya's attempt to play along, but at the same time she was disappointed at the lack of a negative reaction. Oh well, this would just have to do. Good enough, right? Still... Funny, I guess. After all the cheese was gone, she just continued to lean against the bar and pluck some of the food into her own mouth. "....nine....out of.....eleven....." "....world record....right?....mghnm..." Mei let out a small laugh at that, then gave a muffled response of her own, too impatient to fully chew her food. "Mmm, 9/11... Reminds me of that one tragedy, y'know?" Sure Mei, make a 9/11 joke, that'll go well. She looked over at the guy Minya had directed her words too, giving him an observing glare before cocking her head to the side. "So, what's with this guy, huh? Thinks he's soooo cool by playin the quiet kid or somethin?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "....nine....out of.....eleven....." "....world record....right?....mghnm..." Mar rolled his eyes and sighed upon seeing that honestly impressive feat go down, but had a small smile tugging at his lips while doing so. Reminded him of his siblings, always goofing off whenever they could and trying to impress him while they were at it. The thought almost saddened him, remembering his family at a time like this, but he quickly brushed it away before it completely changed his mood. "So, what's with this guy, huh? Thinks he's soooo cool by playin the quiet kid or somethin?" And that was the straw that broke the camel's back. God she was already insufferable. His near-smile quickly turned into a very pissed off expression as he slowly got up, approaching Mei and Minya. "The hell is wrong with you is my question..." He snarled, staring her down. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Prolly gone loopy. Out of shock, maybe. I've seen it a few times at the Reapings..." Liela went silent for a moment before she sighed. "No... I doubt it..." She simply said, leaving it at that. There was no way that attitude was from snapping, right? Even if it was, she was probably just a toned down lunatic before all this, right? "You sure you're okay?" No, I'm not, how can I be? I just- "Yeah, I'm... Fine." "Thanks for asking, I guess..." She turned her head away and whispered that last part, as if she was slightly ashamed. "You can like...carry on crying....if you want..." She closed her eyes and exhaled, turning her head back to face Raiyhan but her eyes were still pinned on the ground beneath. "There's no point in doing that, honestly..." Her voice was quiet, but the sound she made afterwards almost sounded like a groan. "If it makes you feel any better. I dunno, I- I'm not the best at like...this sorta thing. Emotions and such." Yeah, I could tell. Well she couldn't say that now could she? She instead stayed silent, letting her mind wander a little. Well, it was more like "spacing out", but whatever. "I- I should stop talking." "Not like you did anything wrong..." Liela mumbled. [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mei could almost feel the middle finger being stuck up at her, and the thought made her smile. Such a shame nobody came after her though, guess they weren't gullible enough to chase after her. Would've made things a lot less boring around here though... ".....what the hell was the point of that? Tryna make enemies? Before the Games? You have a death wish, don't you? Or are you just plain crazy?" Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy. Crazy? I was- This line was cut short by a suspiciously shaped full-sized gourd being chucked at the writer. Ironic how well that fit, might as well be Mei's new motto. She gave a shrug alongside a snicker, looking down on his emo-covered form and crossing her arms. "Aww, why not? Just tryin' to have some fun around here, y'know?" She leaned in a little closer, her tone darkening. "So what if I am? Having a few enemies never hurt, neither does being crazy..." The chilling confidence she said that with was almost enough to negate the absurdity of her saying that neither of those things had any negative impact. She stood back up and gave a small laugh, returning Idris's ice-cold stare with one of her own, except Mei's was paired with a grin. "C'mon man, cheer up! All that edginess is gonna make you look like you went through a blender, y'know. Bet that won't help ya in the games, that's for damn sure!" And with that, she waved a snarky goodbye before heading back to her cab, passing through almost every single other district's along the way. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mar raised an eyebrow at the odd attempt to actually play along with the weirdo's games, almost smiling at the failed attempt to catch a piece with her mouth. He instead sighed and grabbed his barely filled plate and went to sit back down, shrugging at the weirded expression Minya gave. He could honestly care less at this point and didn't exactly want to, honestly. ...But then the girl came back. Plate empty, and she seemed to be chewing the last bit of what she had left. Her jaunt was so carefree and nonchalant, like nothing had ever happened, it was almost infuriating. Mar was about to continue to ignore her until it seemed like she suddenly changed her mind and went to grab some of the food on their table. Not only was she a child in a teenager's body, but a petty thief too... Ah, and of course she would start chucking their own cheese at Minya once again, point-blank this time. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Liela buried her head further into her knees this time, too exhausted from her outburst to do anything. She almost wanted to sob again, for different reasons this time, but her tears had been used up. She felt so bitter now, her sadness and grief washing away and leaving behind the sediments of anger and resentment. She just wanted to scream and yell, no matter how tired her small body was, no matter how much her voice was worn out, but she knew she couldn't. Especially not at the guy trying his best to comfort her. He wouldn't have deserved her anger, she may have been a brat but she at least did things with reason. "...that's good." Yeah, I guess. Her nails began to dig into the sides of her legs, the area she had been clutching ever since she wrapped herself up. She had to beg herself not to cry anymore, even if she physically couldn't. The feeling would still be there, and it was a horrible one. "What's her deal, anyways..." She muttered. [Read more] |

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ugh. The silence was getting on her nerves, this train ride was already long enough. President Moon had mentioned that the cabs were open to go between, and Mei assumed all the tributes had been picked up already, so... It wouldn't hurt to do a bit of exploring, right? It was obvious her district partner didn't want to talk, given his closed off demeanor and "slightly" disgusted expression towards Mei. Oh well, his loss, ammiright? Who wouldn't want to talk to the borderline psychopathic one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater? Well, her little journey was about to answer that, even though the results were pretty obvious from the start. But first... There was food, right? Man, she was starving. She got up from her chair and began to grab a plate, filling it up with everything that appealed to her while occasionally chucking some over at the male tribute, not once looking in his direction while doing so. After he had muttered an annoyed remark under his breath, Mei responded with a giggle before moving to the other cars. Nothing significant happened until District 4's car, which was occupied with three people this time. Huh. Looked like someone had the same idea she did. Oh, and there was a little girl wailing her butt off like a baby, that too. "Awww, does someone miss their mommy? Cheer up bucko, it would be such a shame if you died crying!" Mei snickered, chucking a slice of kiwi at both Liela and Raiyhan's face before moving on, making sure to hit the other guy in the room with a cheese cube as well. Again, nothing significant happened other than being yelled at and called various things by her targets until she reached District 7's car, where the cab was completely silent and the tributes inside were doing nothing thus far. Well, the tiny girl seemed to be eyeing the snacks, but the male looked like he was trying to take a nap or something. How... Boring. She started by chucking a grape at Daischön, then cheese at Minya. Mei decided to throw a few more blocks at her for the hell of it, almost desperate for a reaction at this point, but she was starting to run low on snacks. Insert joke about Mei chucking her entire plate at the invisible ghost that occupied cab 9 here. Last but not least, cab 12, home to the infamous District 12 tributes. Honestly at this point, Mei was surprised the Capitol still brought them in. Their District was hit hardest by the plague due to the extreme poverty, and they were the District with the least success in the Games anyways. Oh well, just another pair of rats to toy with I guess. She entered the car and observed the two tributes. Then she immediately chucked an entire orange at Idris's face, and a watermelon slice at she who must not be named. Now she was done for the day. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mar took one last glance at Minya before shutting his eyes for a nap, taking note of the apparent rage that she now held before doing so. No wonder, Moon's words set him off a little as well, he was just too lazy to act on it. As soon as the snacks were mentioned though, those small eyes seemed to jump priorities. Unfortunately, he was a bit too preoccupied with his own things to have room for being hungry, so he didn't share the same. Before the edgy nightmare backstory could be inserted during his nap time, a small thud to his forehead woke him from his slumber. The grape fell into his lap and he simply stared at it with annoyance. He only barely caught a glimpse of the purple-haired tribute as she targeted Minya before walking out. Oh lovely... It seemed they had a class clown after all. He groaned as he got up to throw the grape away, and before he walked back he figured he might as well grab a bite while he was up. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "...hey? You alright?" A piercing chill went through her entire body, one that inevitably led to her sobs being stopped by an immediate choke. Instead of the rushing thoughts that eroded at her mind, the presence of another tribute made it go completely blank. What a harsh snap back to reality. But the chill had a reason for its near paralysis, it was a reminder of where she was and her circumstances. Liela couldn't even think after what had happen, didn't even consider what could be a result of her childishness. Sure, she didn't want to become the Victor and live in such a lonely world much longer, but... The least she could do was try, right? If she made herself an easy target, that would just be... She couldn't bear to think about it anymore, she couldn't risk the sobs returning. Other tributes were around her now, everyone that would eventually perish by each other's hands. She was headed to the Capitol for heaven's sake, there were cameras pinned on her at this very moment. That crying fit only labeled her as the weakest one here, to both the entirety of Panem and the tributes, and that just meant... She continued to hold herself in a ball, but angrily wiped away her tears and quickly hushed up her sniffling. Her eyes only gazed emptily on the ground in front of her, and no reply came out of her mouth. It didn't matter if she was "okay" or not, it wouldn't matter in the end, at least. The Games would still continue, as would everything else. There was nothing she could do, and in the end, her tears were shed for nothing. The pat on the back made her flinch, but it somewhat did its job at least. It calmed her down a bit, but it somehow still stung. Just old memories, itching away at the open wound. "...just....let it out? Sometimes it's better that way." "I'm... fine now. Thanks," She muttered bluntly, her voice rasp and quiet as a result of the endless screaming it had to endure. Her tone almost seemed... Bitter, as well. She began to close her eyes for a moment, just trying to find a moment to recollect, but it was all interrupted by a slice of kiwi hitting her head and a taunting voice that followed. "Awww, does someone miss their mommy? Cheer up bucko, it would be such a shame if you died crying!" In a moment, Liela's sorrows turned into anger, which spilt the last of her tears onto her knees. She balled up her fists and glared at the girl, wanting so desperately to scream at her and make her pay for what she said. Run up to her and pummel her face, refute those words and made sure she paid for dare saying that to her. She didn't have the strength to get up though, so all she could do was mutter some utterly horrifying words under her breath and give Mei a piercing stare that could rival her own. In short, Liela would remember that. [Read more] |

Abryn Soelare Ah the joys of waking up at an ungodly hour to go to work in the morning, what fun. The fact that he carelessly plopped himself down on the couch and sept there instead of, oh I don't know, the comfort of his own bed made the situation ten times worse. His back was killing him, he could hardly see a thing with the immense disorientation, and he missed his alarm. Come on man, get it together... You haven't missed a day since you started working at that place. So he had... 5 minutes to get his s**t together, and pray he got a quick ride there. Got it, that was... Workable. Abryn quickly got ready and headed out the door, seemingly not a care in the world about his tardiness. A cab was called and upon arrival at the agency, he simply turned his originally broken down demeanor into a more neutral and... Work-friendly one. Walked past the same people he did nearly every day, walked to his desk, sat down and waited for whatever the day had to offer. God it got boring around here sometimes. Funny how he said that considering the circumstances. Cassidy Louvin Cass, as opposed to many, was up almost immediately after her alarm went off and already rolling out of bed. She was in a relatively good mood, humming to herself as she got ready. With a yawn, she entered the kitchen to make herself some breakfast, only to find the stove was already going hot and a scent was starting to flow through the house. Mmm pancakes, a timeless dish that never seemed to fail. "Oh! Papa I was going to-" "No no, it's alright Cassie, I wanted to do something special for today. Thank you for dinner last night, by the way, sorry I fell asleep so early." Her grandfather interjected, turning around with a smile as he shuffled the batter on the pan. It was always that smile, it was so contagious and Cass couldn't help but to return it. "I was runnin' late so I just made some anyways... Hope you... Like it." Cass gave a defeated laugh, then sat down at the table once the food was offered. "Thank you for breakfast! Been so long since With that, the two enjoyed their meal and a nice chat before Cass got up to clean before she left. Before she stepped out of the door though, she was stopped by opened arms and that sweet smile once again. "Have a good day, Cassie. You know I'm proud of you." The hug seemed to last forever. Cass nearly cried actually, she didn't even realize how heavy her shoulders were that morning until she heard those words. "You too-" Cass whispered, being cut off by her own sobs that were being held in her throat. She let go before they could come spewing out though, waving a goodbye before heading off to the agency. Unfortunately, her strength didn't even last the walk there, she came in looking far more distant than usual but still keeping up her iconic smile. Just had a little muddy eyes, is all. [Read more] |
