But until we get to that lovely moment where I stab you in the liver with a rusty dagger we have to work together

Connor blinked once, and then a second time. Chloe was a… pretty blunt girl, not even sugarcoating the fact that she was intent on killing him eventually. He certainly didn’t want to kill anyone, but the idea of being killed was even less appealing.

“… I guess I should eat something…” He said simply, frowning and remembering his promise to help Sarai… to fulfill his promise, he would have to kill Chloe, and a lot of other people… how could he ever do that?

[…]

Rica watched the look on Melanie’s face. She was clearly beginning to understand the gravity of the situation she was in. He felt bad… the girl reminded him of Kanna, but she was young and naïve and didn’t need to be in the Hunger Games.

He watched as she created darkness in her hands. “… Impressive. That could certainly help you win.”

He looked back at Galv. Lightning and Darkness… he had a strange pair. They were both young, and neither looked particularly strong… but maybe one of them could live.

“First thing you need to learn… the arena will be full of pylons, and you probably won’t be able to tell where they are, or when they’re on or off. That means that if you only rely on your powers, you will die. You’re both going to need to learn to be good with at least one manual weapon. A knife, a club, a bow, a spear… whatever. We’re also going to have to work on finding food and water. You’ll need to stay hydrated and stay fed, or you’ll be too weak to survive.”

Lavan snickered loudly.

"Survival of the fittest? Never thought that Don Gallic himself was a fan of Darwin. And, truth to say, I really don't get behind that sort of belief either, because somehow, you're still alive. Somehow, there is a rebellion out there against you. Somehow, all these people in the District keep on living."

Suddenly, his voice dropped, turning almost downright malicious as he spoke. If he wasn't under the effects of the pylons, he would be showing power attributes right about now, and even then, an unsettling sort of feeling radiated from him, even when he appeared completely helpless.

"So what happens when the strongest get to live, hmm? What happens, Don Gallic, when I end up being the victor of your little game? I want to hear an answer to that. How far would you believe in Darwin, I wonder..."

He shrugged, suddenly back to being as happy as a clam, though still there was palpable tension in the air.

"I can't wait for it to start though! So much explosions! So much flame everywhere! And talent! I get to face against some other really gifted kiddos who have immense power attributes! Maaaan, I can't WAIT!!!"

I can't see what you're imagining
-Tribute's Train-

“My dad taught me some fighting skills...” Galv mentioned, “But just some hand to hand stuff...I don't really know how to use a weapon...”

He frowned, looking to the side, “But I'm stronger then I look...”



“Hey Kxs,” Hammah said, glad to see the girl, even considering the current circumstances. “How are you holding up? I look at the list, and it looks like we got paired up together. I guess that's one good thing, right?”

-The District-

“It's okay, I'll try to be back tonight and we can go out somewhere,” Cess told Shimera, giving her a quick kiss before hurrying off.

Soon he found the Spork family, all looking despondent as they headed home. Cess followed them, keeping an eye on Jimi...

The Rebellion needed all the help it could give...

-The Capitol: Holding Center-

“If for some reason you manage to live through the Games and come out as the last one alive, then I will personally step into the arena and kill you myself,” Gallic answered, straightening his tie, “And I'll show you just why I'm at the top.”

A short answer, but Gallic felt that would be best.

Well... That was a rather up-front threat. Lavan was almost taken off-guard by the comment, and couldn't resist giggling at the response, treating it much like a good joke and not a delivered and serious threat.

"Heeheee... Kill me yourself... THAT would certainly send an interesting message, wouldn't it? Especially when I end up breaking your spine and feeding the various segments to some of the more ravenous beasts. Like those Deathclaws. Still, that should be a pretty fun little spat! Looking forward to it!"

He stretched again, hopping t his feet once more.

"So, about the room and the noodles. When am I being moved to the required place? I wanna get on with my exercises already. But you can't watch! It's secret! Unless you're a cheap voyeur. Then feel free to watch all you want, but I'm warning you, there will be swinging bits. And lots of body lotion. Aaaaand maybe a cake or two."

He looked one last time at the screen, smirking a little bit.

"Don't worry, Donny. I'm going to wipe the floor with the competition. Then I'm going to introduce your face to some of my favorite friends. And once the introductions are over, we shall then see who truly lied in the dirt and grime, and who gets to shake hands with Darwin in the afterlife. I'm REALLY looking forward to it, Donny. REALLY looking forward to it."

Rica frowned. Hand to hand could be useful, but Rica knew that weapons could be a lifesaver in the arena. He remembered his own experiences…

He had been lucky. Rica could create water, which meant he was able to hide out in an extremely dangerous and dry area, well away from any water source, which kept him relatively safe. He sneaked around, picking off enemies whenever he could.

These two would have to fight more than he did. They would need to fight for food and water, and they couldn’t heal… but Rica knew enough that he hoped he could keep them alive.

Well, at least until they had to kill each other.

“You’ll have to learn, then.” Rica said to Galv. “Hmm… you can use electricity… if you could get a knife or a metal club, your powers could be pretty useful. But we’ll have no idea what’s in the arena, so we’ll just have to train you with some basic weapons.”

He looked at Melanie. “You too. We’ll teach you how to use whatever we can.”

He paused. “… I’m assuming neither of you have ever killed anyone before?”

KxS gave Hammah a weak smile. "Yeah. Jimi told me to have your back. So, well...I'll make sure nothing happens to you. Okay?"


The District

The young woman crossed her arms as Cess rushed off. But she smirked as she floated up and followed him at a good distance.

Now what could that sneaky man be up to?

Melanie's eyes widened and shook her head at Rica's question.

"Of course not..." she said quietly....But this brought up a question in her mind. "H-How many have you killed?"

[...]

"That's more like it!" Chloe said, motioning for him to follow her into the dining hall which wasn't too far away.

The girl looked around as she stepped back into the dining car. When she had left to find Connor she had been the only one in here, but now there were a few others.

"I told the Avox to have some stuff waiting for us" she said, sitting down. Surely enough there were several types of food at their table...

In the corner Sarai stood, eyes down.

Rica hadn’t expected a kid like Melanie to have ever killed anyone… though with her mother, Rica supposed it was possible Melanie had been in a bad situation before.

When Melanie asked him, Rica suddenly wished he had his vodka.

“… Several. Some directly, and some indirectly… the Games are a nasty business.” Rica replied, and then a very cold expression spread over his face.

“… If you want to survive, you have to be willing to kill. You WILL have to kill people. When the moment comes, you cannot afford even a second of hesitation, because if you hesitate, you will die.”

[…]

Connor followed Chloe, but as soon as they arrived, and she mentioned an Avox he began looking around the room. When he noticed Sarai, he gasped and immediately rushed over to her.

“Sarai?” He asked. “Are you okay…?”

Tribute’s Train

Melanie bit her lip, knowing that this was probably a touchy subject for the man. Instantly she regretted asking, but knew he was right in his words...She was going to have to kill.

"But aren't there other ways to get ahead...Outlast and such?" she asked. She had seen many games in the past...Surely there were a good handful who simply had the advantage thanks to supplies and generous people in the Capitol. "What about Sponsors? What do we do to get them?"

[...]

Sarai's eyes widened a bit when Connor came up to her. She tried to keep her face down and faze out, but it was hard to do so when the boy was so close...

She gave a shaky nod. What else could she do? She couldn't get him to heal her here...

"Connor! What are you doing!?" Chloe hissed, coming over to the boy and tugging on his arm. "You know you shouldn't talk to her right?"

Sarai frowned but kept her gaze down. She was usually treated like this, but never liked it.

"Could you get us a couple of drinks?" Chloe asked Sarai who hastily nodded.

Rica shook his head.

“You can outlast. It was part of my strategy. Since I can create water, on the first day I ran as far as I could from my fellow Tributes. I stayed hidden and stayed hydrated. But eventually, no matter how long you try to outlast… you have to fight. I did. You will too.”

Rica was not sugarcoating this for Melanie and Galv, but how could he? If he held back the truth because it was scary, they would surely die.

“As for Sponsors… yes, we will need a strategy… hmmm…” Rica was thinking.

Oh dear.

[…]

Connor frowned as he looked to Sarai. He wanted to ask her what had happened, but suddenly Chloe was there and she was being annoying.

Connor quickly turned to her and frowned. “I can talk to whoever I want!”

"No you cant!" Chloe hissed back, watching as Sarai rushed out a door and into another car. "Sponsors and the Gamemakers don't like little boys who break rules! You're going to get yourself killed!"

[...]

Meanwhile Sarai had slipped out, catching her breath when she was alone....That boy...He...Well...

She didn't know what to think of him....Well actually she did, but she couldn't admit it.

Carefully she peeked back into the room at Connor....She wished she could be alone with him...To talk...Well not talk...She just wanted to be able to look at him again.

Connor glared at Chloe. He knew he was not going to be getting along with this girl.

“You care what the Gamemaker’s think!? They’re the ones who are going to decide how to KILL US! I’m probably going to be dead in a few days, I really don’t care about the rules anymore! Now get out of my way!”

Apparently impending death really makes Connor develop a backbone. Rumi should take note of this for RA.

Chloe frowned, letting the boy step past her. She needed to sit down and talk strategy with the boy but obviously he wasn't interested right now...Instead he seemed to want to see that Avox...

"Fine then, but be careful. I'd rather not go into battle alone" she muttered. "And you better be back at your room tonight, we need to talk strategy!"

Connor said nothing as he brushed past Chloe. On some level, he knew that she was the only ally he had now, and that he needed to talk strategy with her… but he didn’t care right now. All he could think about was Sarai… he was still trying to think of some way to improve the poor Avox’s life.

He hurried into the hall, and found Sarai. He rushed over to her.

“Sarai, um… I’m sorry. I’m sorry you got in trouble back at the Enclave office… I never meant to get you in trouble.” Connor frowned.

Sarai jumped back when Connor came out, the girl catching his eyes and relaxing a bit. She stepped forward and shook her head, trying to indicate that she was okay. She then looked back down and began to wipe her face of the caked on makeup....

"...."

She had a few cuts and bruises but the biggest one was a new black eye. She hoped he could fix her.
