Shipper smiles happily. "You did great too! I'm sure people will think you were adorable." Of course! They were both confident of each other.

---

Apollo smirks. That was done and complete. He crosses his arms. The people of Panem would find their naivety adorable..or pitiable. Either way, he knew he could talk them up..relate them to himself..and perhaps, with enough money, could help them live through.

Yes, Apollo has plans..and he couldn't wait to see them through.

New Vegas Strip

Cole looks over and smirks. "Suicide, I know. But I'm looking for mercenaries. You seen any?" He gives her a look-over. She looked like one. "Unless you wanted a piece of the action. Good money for all involved. From good old Not-at-Home himself."

Rebellion HQ

Grassi smirks. "Easy. Did she consider cutting it?" Clinical, sarcastic, and dry-humored, Grassi tended to be blunt. "If not, I can see what I have. For suits, I have been messing around with armor plating to replicate Old World's armor meant for similar jobs."

He holds up a standard suit. "I'm afraid this will have to do for now. It's flexible, though. I've been working on one with more coverage but it's difficult to maintain the flexibility and armor.." He smirks. "But I want you to come by later, Cess, and try on the prototype. Once I make sure everything's in order, I can better protect you on your missions."

He looks back to Shimera. "Now about the hair...no, no. We can't keep it that long." He inches around her, gazing at it. "It will be a hazard in multitude of ways. You could catch it on fire, get it caught in something like a door, or you could be grabbed from behind by an Enclave soldier. Those power armored jerks don't go down that easily, so you could be in a lot of trouble if that happens. Hiding your hair is very difficult. We could tie it up into a bun. I could find you a bandana. Or I could find you a helmet? But that has it's drawbacks, as well." He frowns a bit, now. What to do, what to do?

“Well? I’m waiting.” Autumn said angrily. He was an impatient man, and Connor was being indecisive.

“… I have a condition.” Connor said, and the boldness surprised Autumn, who was used to having everyone except Gallic himself fearful of him. “… For the duration of the Games, Sarai gets to be excused from her duties… she gets to be treated like a guest, not a slave.”

Autumn narrowed his eyes… and then he laughed. “Ha, ha, ha… you’re bolder than I ever imagined. Fine, fine. As long as you’re still alive in the Games, then the Avox can sit around and watch like one of the Capitol citizens… but remember what happens to her if you die…”

[New Vegas Strip]

The woman smirked.

“Ohhh, I’m in baby!” She grinned, and slinked an arm around Cole’s shoulder. “The name is Nix. I’ve been wanting to stick it to those Legion bastards for a long time, eh? It’ll be fun to see ‘em burn.”


[Rebellion Headquarters]

Nanami sighed. She wanted to be mad, to smash something heavy, or to freeze the door and shatter it into a billion tiny pieces of wood and ice… but he was right.

He was always right. It was annoying.

“… I just… if he’s there… if there’s a chance to cut the head off the Enclave…”

She sighed. “… I can’t keep waiting. I cannot watch another Hunger Games unfold. More children marching off to their death…”

She turned away from him, now, gazing at the picture on her bed stand.

“… Do you know the worst part? It’s not the death. It’s not the act of killing someone… it’s how easy it becomes. Maybe the first person you kill in the Games takes something out of you, maybe, if you’re like me… but…”

She turned back to him. “After that first one, I stopped feeling it. It was no different than smashing an ant under my boot. I was killing people – children – and I felt NOTHING. I had no remorse… and now I can kill anyone, anytime… and feel nothing. That’s what the Games do to you…”

Shimera gasped in fear. "Cut my hair?! No, absolutely not!" she shouted as she hugged her hair. "It took years to get my hair this long without any split-ends!"

Then Grassi suggested a bandana to tie it up. She had to think about it...true, someone could pull her hair if she wasn't fast enough to get away. "I...suppose it wouldn't hurt to tie it up."

It was something she'd have to get used to.

“Awww, thank you,” Aiden said, blushing a little, “Hopefully we'll get lots of Sponsors!”

She was grinning still. She wondered what was so bad about these Games. Aiden had already met a good friend here!

-Rebellion Headquarters-

“Nanami...the Enclave is more then just Gallic,” Old Man Sensei said, “Even if you killed him, the Enclave could recover. The entire Enclave must be stopped. Gallic has done many horrible things, but he is a product of a system. I'm not saying this excuses him. Not in the slightest. But the Enclave can simply find someone else like him if they need to...”

He gave the girl a reassuring pat on the shoulder, “And I do not believe you. I know those deaths phased you, just like me when I was in my Game. But you have balled everything into this nexus of hate. You still have yet to heal...”



“Shimera had her hair like this when she's snuck into the Game Center before though...” Cess said, “Here, why doesn't Shimera just tuck her hair into the suit? That should work just fine.”

Crisis averted, hopefully. Though Cess would think Shimera looked cute no matter what her hair was like.

“As for the suits, we just need high stealth. We don't plan on having any combat on this mission,” Cess added.

Nanami closed her eyes. Once again, she knew he was right. The Enclave was more than just Don Gallic… but he was the one in charge. He was the one who had stood watching over the Games… and he was the one who had turned the only person Nanami ever loved into a mindless zombie and forced her to kill him…

“… The only way I’ll heal if when he’s in the ground.” She said coldly. “I appreciate the sentiment, but that nexus of hate is what drives me. You want me as a soldier, as a symbol? Then I need that hate… and sooner or later, I need it to pay off.”

"Ah, but that's just it." Grassi smirks. "These aren't your average stealth suits. Being from the Old World, they were built for more than just espionage. They were made for assassinations. But they have their uses in stealth. Just a bit of added cover at the cost of being a bit heavier. Nothing much to consider." He shrugs.

He then folds his arms. "I'm not sure if that would be comfortable for her. Running around, her hair could irritate her skin or her suit could pull on her hair. Not exactly convenient, but if she would rather opt for that, it's possible."

Tribute's Train

Shipper nods vigorously. "We'll get plenty. I bet we'll be able to live in complete comfort." Oh how wrong you are.

New Vegas Strip

Cole smiles. "Glad you're willing to follow through with us. Meet us at the Atomic Wrangler in about half an hour. Get what you need now."

"Oh! I could braid it!" Shimera suggested. This conversation is now about giving Shimera a new hair-do, which as long as her hair stayed long, she was okay with.

"And I can probably keep the braid in my suit, then it won't irritate me as much as it would if I had my hair as it is."

Tribute’s Train

Sarai looked up from her feet, instantly turning her eyes to Connor...What he was promising was crazy...The idea that she could possibly be treated like a normal Capitol citizen was impossible....

But Connor had made it possible. Autum agreed. Right now Sarai wanted to attack Connor in a tight hug (or maybe even kiss him) but she didn't Instead she just managed a tiny smile in her friend's direction.

[...]

"What if they drop us in and it's dark?" Melanie asked, now staring at the ceiling. "Or if it's freezing cold? How well will your powers work in different elements?"

She supposed it was smart to think of every possible scenario...

"Or what if they drop us in the water....Can you swim?"

Autumn just gave a little smirk, and then he turned away from them.

“Then we have an arrangement. I do so enjoy these little bets… it always makes the Games much more interesting.”

He waited for a moment, before pointing towards the door. “You two can go now. I’ll send word about the Avox’s special treatment for the duration of the Games.”

Connor shakily stood up and took Sarai’s hand, and quickly he pulled her out of the room. He didn’t want to spend one second longer with that man than necessary. Once they were in the hallway, Connor looked to Sarai.

“Um… I-I’m sorry… I mean… I basically just risked your life… y-you’re not mad, are you?”

“Um… I-I’m sorry… I mean… I basically just risked your life… y-you’re not mad, are you?”

As soon as they stepped out of Autum's car Sarai was in front of the boy, pressing her lips against his and shaking like a poor pathetic leaf. She was a mixture of horrified and relieved...All she knew was somehow she was not dead...But there was a very real possibility she would be soon...

Connor wasn’t sure what was going on, but the next thing he knew Sarai was kissing him. He smiled, and let his hands slip around her waist. He was shaking too, more nervous about something like this than the Games (at least at the moment).

“I-I’m guessing you’re not mad…” Connor smiled, rubbing the back of his neck, his face turning red.

Sarai moved back from the kiss, lips pursed tightly as she shook her head quickly. She was actually very grateful for what he did....Sorta....She was grateful for the first part...The dying part still worried her.

But at least this way she would have a chance to help him. Usually Avox workers didn't get to keep up with the Games...

Connor smiled, looking to Sarai as they broke the kiss. He was shaking a bit, hoping that he had not just ruined everything. If Connor died – and he probably would – then Sarai would be killed too… how could he risk her life?

Connor paused… and in that moment, he decided he would have to win.

He took Sarai’s hand. “I promise I’ll win… I promise you I will.” Connor said to her.

“No, Nanami...I do not want you as a soldier. I do not want anyone as a soldier...” Old Man Sensei sighed, “I wish that all of you could have had some kind of normal life. Not this.”

He looked sad, then turned to walk out of Nanami's room.

“The way you will heal is finding something else to live for...” he said softly as he headed out.



Cess just nodded a little.

“We'll figure it out when we need to,” Cess said, “We have time to figure out the specifics as it is, thankfully...”

He sighed a little, shaking his head, “Shimera...we'll have to be very careful...”

-Tribute's Train-

Galv frowned, thinking it over.

“I can't see very well in the dark, but I can always light things up,” Galv said, “Can you see well in the dark though? You can always be my eyes if you can...

“And if it's cold I can keep myself warm, and you'll stay near me to stay warm too...” Galv added, “My powers will work fine as long as I have the energy, or a source somewhere I can draw from. But I build up and store electricity in my body, like a battery. One of the reasons I'm always warm.

“And I can swim...but I can't use my powers in water unless I want to shock everyone else in it...” Galv answered, “Electricity can't hurt me, I just absorb it.”

Lavan let his body's energy go, chest heaving from exertion. This was FUN! More fun than he ever had before! Pibb's guard was solid, incredibly so, and he had a difficult time trying to select targets. But this was why he needed to be ready in the first place.

The Hunger Games didn't wait for anyone after all, and if you fell... Well, things kept going anyways.

"Oh, stop kidding me, Pibb. You barely moved a few inches, barely threw any punches and kicks. I KNOW you're barely out of breath. I can see it, you know. But you're right. I don't only need combat. I need everything I can before I head into battle. Experience, strength, speed, stamina, judgement, reflexes, intuition. All of it."

He grinned widely, standing straight, clapping his hands together as he chuckled maniacally.

"And by the time we're done here, we will BOTH be in shape, we will BOTH kick ass... And I'll be busting you the hell out of this place once I clean up the games. Now let's get to work, old geezer! We have NO time to waste!"

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
~ Desty Nova, Karmatron Theory

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!
