"Quiet" Charlie hisses. "They haven't noticed us yet. If we move away quietly we can still stay here."
"Too late." Katana replies. Charlie turns to look at Katana with a confused expression. Her eyes widening to see an icepick in Katana's fingers. She must've grabbed that from the backpack while I was asleep Charlie realizes. She doesn't have time to question how it was possible for Katana to chip away at her cuffs with the limited movement she had because she is forced to dodge an attack from Katana- who was trying to stab her with the icepick. Katana opens her hand, aiming a blast at the two.
"Look out!" Charlie shouts out in warning at Coraline and Bella. She forces a wall of ice to form in front of Katana. The hot weather limits the thickness of the ice. Still, it manages to slow down and weaken the blast just enough that Coraline and Bella will only feel a slight blast of warm wind hit them.
"Now look at what you've done!" Katana shouts.
"You mean look at what you've done!" Charlie fires back.
"What do you think you're doing?" A voice calls. Charlie immediately recognizes Echo without having to turn and look at her. She puts two and two together quickly. [i]This must be your doing Charlie thinks to herself in amusement. "Stand down Katana." Charlie warns. Katana doesn't need to be told twice. She knows she can't fight off two invisible enemies, Echo, and possibly Charlie all at once.
"Oh hello Echo!" Charlie calls with fake friendliness. "We were just escaping the horrid weather down yonder, what are you doing?" She asks casually. She slowly walks in front of Katana, blocking Echo's view from her.
She changes back again, saying calmly “Please don’t attack them, they’re my teammates, Charlie, I’m sure you’ll understand.” Her voice, light but threatening, is clear and carries over to them.
He ran through the Mushroom Feilds. It didn't seem like a popular place, though there were a few tributes battiling it out. Akiro wasn't about to take chances, and used the edge of his shirt to cover his nose and mouth. Who knew what those mushrooms were made of? Eventually, he made it to the Tundra. He stumbled through, avoiding the huge icey spikes. He kept walking, he needed to get deeper in. As he walked, he quickly pulled on the jacket. That would keep him warm. But through the blinding snow, he swore he saw some of the tributes. He froze behind an ice pillar, unsure of what to do. For now, he would stay hidden, and silent, at least until he felt the need to step in.

Lesia was dressed in very elegant clothing, not too revealing, but light enough to where is was comfortable. Her dress was loud, but also had this sweet softness to it, nearly matching her personality. It went down to the middle of her calves, and finished with sharp, but also soft at the same time, ridges that would resemble her ability. She loved the dress, other than the part that it revealed the entirety of her metallic arms. Her name was called to the interview, and she slowly walked her way on stage. She was shaking with anxiety, she didn’t know what to say! She put on an obviously forced smile, but didn’t wave to the audience. She sat down and looked at Caesar with fear in her eyes, but tried to be as welcoming as possible. “Why hello there miss Ulteré, you look quite magnificent today!” He said “cheerfully”, but Lesia could tell that it wasn’t all that genuine. “Thank you, I’m not sure how they managed to do it so well!” She said with a small chuckle. “Now, I’m sure the audience, as well as I, would like to address the elephant in the room.” He leaned in closer and propped his head on top of his two joined hands. “What happened to your arms?” That question hit her like a brick. I mean... she expected the question to arise at some point, but not right now in front of so many people... She swallowed a huge lump in her throat, and nervously gave the question as sweat rolled down her face. “Hehe... Uh... Well...” She was having quite a hard time getting her words out, which annoyed her. “I was playing with my brother one day and something happened... I accidentally cut off my arms and killed him too...” a wave of gasps came from the audience as she explained, and the blanket of pity began to settle upon her. She tried to maintain the smile but it was washed away by a tear that fell down her face. “Oh my... What a tragic story...” Caesar replied, giving a sorry expression. “I’m sorry, please, continue...” Lesia told him, wiping away her tears and trying to regain her posture. “If you insist... Well then, your power is quite interesting, no? From what I’ve heard, you have found quite a lot of ways to use it to your advantage... Do you think you’ll be able to win the games with that power?” He questioned, this time, Lesia was calm about it. “Well... While my power could come in handy, I’m not sure I’ll win with the little physical training I’ve had, sadly... All I hope for is to make my parents proud, going home to them is really just a dream after seeing the other tributes...” Her smile re-appeared, even though sadness still lingered in her voice. She was tempted to demonstrate it by giving Caeser’s hair a trim, but she restrained herself. “Ah... I see... So, did you find anyone that you’ll try to make an alliance with?” That question came out of nowhere... “Well... maybe, I’m not too sure.” Was her only answer. Caesar was about respond when the buzzer rang. “Ah, looks like that’s all we got for today! Let’s give it to Lesia!” He and the audience began to clap, most of them satisfied with the interview. After that, she had a nice meal that she wolfed down in seconds, then it was on to the games. The injection didn’t really do much to her, she just sat there and winced, but a lot of the other tributes seemed to have trouble. Especially Echo and Rui... Echo had to have 5 people on her just so they could do the injection, while Rui had to have 3. Poor girl... Stick a needle in her and it’s gonna go right through... But... why did she hate them so much? Usually younger people had a fear of them, but it was never this bad...
Suddenly, the flashback ended and she was still trapped in an endless void of black, which annoyed her. Why couldn’t she wake up already? Why did plot have to be so cruel to her...
Rui had suddenly dozed off while she was investigating, resulting in a flashback similar to Lesia’s. She wasn’t exactly asleep, but she was more... daydreaming?
Rui was put in something that was barely clothing, something that barely covered her legs or her arms. It revealed everything Rui so badly wanted to hide, it was torture. It showed all the bruises from being beaten, the scars from cuts and bites, the whole nine yards. And somehow, it made her look skinnier than she did before. She had the same expressionless face as she did before, but with slightly more discomfort. She crossed her arms to try and hide her skin, but it did nothing. The dress somehow resembled everything she was, even when there was little to no info about her. Cold, sharp, and not pleasant in anyway. The way it revealed so much resembled what would happen with one tiny slip-up, one move and it would show too much. There was no elegance, no charm, just pure monstrosity. Her name was called, and after some time, she finally managed to make it up the stage. “Hello miss Rimparden!” Caesar stopped when he took a closer look at her, and the audience went silent. They couldn’t believe it... Why would they bring a little kid in the games when she looked like that?! Why was she here?! “Bring her out! Bring her out!” They began to shout until they were silenced by Caeser. “Now now, I’m afraid we can’t do that. She volunteered, after all.” The crowd began to stir up again until they were forcefully silenced. “Now, may we begin?” Caesar questioned Rui. She was sitting in her seat already, but the amount of discomfort she had from the crowd and her position was unbearable. She didn’t nod, she didn’t respond, she instead let an uncomfortable pause slip in. “Well...” Caeser said with a frown, her discomfort getting to him a bit. “You look like you’re barely alive... Are you alright? Has our staff been taking care of you?” He said, a small bit of genuine concern was in his voice. Rui lowered her head and replied with a simple “no”. “Oh... Well... you didn’t give us much about you, can you tell us what you can do?” Rui sat for a minute before lifting her legs to her chest and burying her face in her legs. Small sniffles could be heard from her, but she answered the question. “I can change how I look at the cost of being a cannibal...” she said quietly. Caesar, as well as the audience, was quite confused on what she meant by “changing how she looked” until she demonstrated. She lifted her head and extended her arm, then morphed her hand into a knife-like object, then changed it back to normal. “I see... quite an interesting life to live, huh? Now... What are your plans for the games?” He asked. “To die... I don’t plan on coming back...” she quickly responded. She got curious and pitiful responses from the audience. “My my... You’re not the most energetic tribute, are you...” Caesar said with disappointment. “Now, if I heard correctly, you tried.... to let your fate come early, so to speak... is that true?” Rui had enough, she hated these questions and wanted to leave. She got up and walked away, ending the interview. She skipped the food and tried to go straight to the arena, but they stopped her for the injection. She tried to fight back but was too weak, but she managed to stall them for a while. “Stop! Get off of me! Let me go!” She cried and screamed, trying to break free. 3 people eventually managed to hold her down while they injected the tracker in her. Her blood-piercing screams filled the room as they did so. Tears were rolling down her face and her heart was racing, she couldn’t stand it.
Her own screams knocked her out of the daydream, leaving her staring at Echo, Katana, and Charlie as they mingled. She had noticed Akiro left and cursed herself for dozing off. She managed to catch a glimpse of him and began following him.

She did understand. She didn't like Katana, not for a second. Still, she didn't want Katana to be attacked. Not necessarily because she cared about Katana, but because she cared about the person who wanted to protect her... Okay, maybe she didn't fully understand, but she could still sympathize with her. "Fine, we'll leave you and your teammates be." Charlie replies.
"Seriously? That's stupid, they are our enemies!" Katana shouts. Charlie sighs, silently agreeing with Katana. She understood she would be safer if she killed them, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Not again Charlie thinks to herself.
"Apologies for messing with your team. We'll be leaving now." Charlie says, fully ignoring Katana. The two walk off, Katana following only because she feels like she has to now- it was better to be with Charlie than to be alone.

"Let's not get hasty now. Echo is right. I don't know anything about her powers. It seems to be both physically and psychological... The ability to hide things from our sight, and maybe cause damage." Charlie shivers at the thought of going against that. "If anything, the smart thing to do would be to do what I originally wanted to do in the tundra- wait for them to come to us." Charlie shakes her head. "Can't believe I risked my life for you." She mutters under her breath before going silent.
"So that's the problem? We don't understand her power? Let's change that." Katana says while cracking her knuckles and grinning like a madwoman. Before Charlie can stop her Katana is already rushing towards Echo. "Hey you! Creepy psycho lady! Fight me you coward!" Katana calls as Charlie tails after her, cursing up a storm.
