Two's 67th Hunger Games [Victor: Adria!]

[hilde]

"Noooo!" Jules said. "Do the experiment on Jack!"
"Don't look at ME! Jules is your boyfriend so you can torture h im all you want!"
"Do it to Richie or something!"

Jill was laughing harder. "I'll keep that in mind for next time. I think I might have some anger problems but oh well. At least I'm not a crybaby like I used to be."
Josiah was kind of scared at Addison's words and hid under the couch again. Jasper had gone even more pale. "See you guys later!" He said nervously. "Maybe we should talk about weapns when we're not tired..."

[anathema]

"But I already beat him up!" Aster tried to reason. "Come on, Jules. It's just a cookie. I'll make it painless. If you close your eyes, you won't see it as much as you won't feel it. It'll be awesome!"

"Who doesn't have anger problems?" Atalante said. "At least you're no Amaris or January. But even if you were, I don't think I could ever be scared of you." She smiled and shrugged lightly.
"Good idea," Addison sighed in agreement. "Now are those cookies ready? I want to eat them all before Adria gets back as a prank. She thought that being a victor would allow her to escape from me playing tricks on her, and I'm gonna prove her so wrong!"

[hilde]

"Now you are sounding like Rowan Adamson!" Jules laughed. "Fine but only because I like cookies. You have to take me to see the nurse after!" He closed his eyes and pouted like a whiny baby.
Jack was laughing his head off and called the nurse's office. Well one of the nurses anyway. He said a new patient would be coming soon then he just hung up and kept laughing. "I'll give you two some peace and quiet for your 'fun' murder." He said walking out the door and closing it.

Jill giggled at this. Yes it was good she didn't have anger problems THAT badly and it was even better Atalante would never be scared of her. "Good." She said. "My job is to scare everyone else!"
Jasper nodded and pulled open the oven door. He got oven mitts and pulled the tray out then put it on the counter. "You can eat as many as you want. Just make sure you eat them before January comes home or she might do something that may or may not be scary."

[anathema]

"I am? Oh, son of a—" Aster began to ramble, shaking her head. "Alright. I see where you're coming from. But I'm no Rowan Adamson. I'll try to make this less... what's the word?... creepy." She steadied him by placing her left hand on his shoulder before pressing up the cookie against his throat. "Hmm. Okay. Let's begin."
About five minutes later, Aster decided that her little 'experiment' was for more gruesome than anticipated. She led Jules to the nurse's office, only to see Adonis and Jody in there as well.
Adonis pointed at Jules in confusion. "What—"
"Don't ask," Aster demanded, gritting her teeth. "It's none of your business."
Her brother went silent after that. It wasn't like he truly wanted to know, anyway.

"I'm sure everyone will be afraid of you during your Games," Atalante replied. "I hope I don't have to see you get mad in the arena. Alexander will keep you in check, though. He promised me that."
She heard the sound of footsteps approaching the sawmill and took a glimpse at who was approaching. It was Adria. "Come on," the victor said. "It's time to go home. It's getting late."
"Why? It's so early!" Atalante protested. "The sun's setting, but it's not nighttime yet."
"The sun is setting," Adria simply explained. "Also, your parents want you back by dark. I cannot go against their wishes."
"Fine. Wanna walk with me, Jill?" Atalante asked, standing up and extending a hand to help her friend up.
Addison literally dove to grab a cookie. She rarely received such luxuries at home; desserts were something her family rejected. The diet was meat, meat, and more meat. "I haven't had sweets in forever," she said, picking a few more off the tray. "This is awesome!"

Rowan Adamson had a dilemma. He had to work three jobs, just to pay off the debt he owed Apricot. He should never have made a deal with the devil. The bet was simple; if Rowan could sit through an hour of an Acacia lecture, including 'sneak previews' of her terrifying sights of future Games, he would win. After five minutes, he had run out of the room in tears. He didn't think Apricot would really make him pay for the bet, but it was Apricot. Of course she would take advantage. So now he was stuck, working as a teacher by day, a counselor at night, and a very bad doctor during those in-between periods.
Emphasis on 'very bad'. Rowan was going to cry. Due to his career, he had the healing ability Leah possessed, but he always sobbed uncontrollably when he used it.
"Get up, Rowan," Elm told him impatiently. She was sitting at the desk, writing apology letters to the patients Rowan had cried on. "And no tears this time. Cut the waterworks."
"Liberate me," Rowan pleaded, rising from his seat and wiping his eyes. He was going to die. He was going to die so hard he went back to life just to die again.
"No. Your neck is unworthy," Elm said. "Leave."
Murmuring a soft apology, Rowan shuffled out of the office. He did not look professional. He wore track pants and a baggy t-shirt, emblazoned with an 'I'm with the Idiot Alliance' logo.
"Sorry," he said, walking over to the Caraways and Tybalts. When he finally looked up and made eye contact, he was startled by the interesting state of the boys. Especially Jules, who was covered with crumbs.
"Oh dear," stammered Rowan. "This isn't good. Um, I'll get someone with more experience. I think I'm going to cry. Please don't make me do this-"
Elm opened the office door and gave him a look. "Rowan Adamson, if I hear any more of this ridiculous behavior, I am going to have a word with you in my private office."
Rowan gulped as the door slammed shut, then turned to the District Seven tributes. "I'm really sorry about that," he said uncomfortably. "I really don't like blood, you see, I..." awkwardly, he straightened his collar, then held out a hand. "Gentlemen, please give me your hands. I need, er, contact to make this work. Uh... I'm sorry."

[hilde]

Jules really didn't care for that cookie experiment. He felt crummy from all those crumbs. He thought about the bad crumbs pun he made in his head and he actually wanted to laugh but he couldn't because he kind of couldn't breathe. His eyes were still closed but he could hear who it was. It was Rowan Adamson.
"Don't be a wimp." Jody ordered him. She grabbed both Jules's hand and Adonis's hand and put them both on Rowan's hand before taking them away.
Jules opened his eyes. "Ok we are NOT doing that again. I felt crummy from all those crumbs." He laughed using his horrible crumbs pun. Jody groaned.
"Thank you Rowan." Jody said with a friendly smile. "We'll be leaving now."

Jill nodded. "Of course I'll try my best not to freak out." She laughed. "But if a Carmine comes near me don't expect me to play nice. I need to get revenge!"
she groaned when Adria walked in. Then she took Atalantes outstretched hand and got to her feet. "Thanks! I'd love to walk you guys home." She said excitedly. "We can protect each other from January."
Jasper was smiling wider and wider as Addison ate. He loved watching people eat and enjoy the food he made. "Thanks!" He said even though his face was getting all red. It was easy to make a Tybalt feel flattered if you said something good about thier food. "Our family is OBSESSED with cookies and I think mine are getting better."

[anathema]

Adonis watched quietly as Rowan approached him and Jules. He wasn't really sure what to make of the "experiment" Aster had done on Jules. It was obvious she knew that a cookie could not kill quickly. Was it out of love? Or was she just being... Aster? He wasn't able to tell. When could he, anyway?
He truly did not understand his sister's antics at all.
Adonis glanced up at Jody as she grabbed his hand and placed it on Rowan's. Instantly, the gash in his abdomen was sealed and the blood dissipated, as if it had never been there in the first place.
"Thank you," he said to Rowan, giving him a nod and a smile before laughing at Jules's pun. Aster simply retrieved something from the pocket of her pants and smirked. Adonis noticed, much to his horror, that it was a cookie.
"I don't think you should tell these puns around Aster anymore," he said quickly. "She's getting ready to impale you with that thing again.

Atalante laughed at that. "Yeah. What if she springs out at us from the trees or something, though?"
Adria glanced back at the two children. "She'll be in for a surprise. I'm with you guys," she told them. "She won't attack while I'm here, so you two are safe for now."
"Thank goodness," Atalante sighed. "I was scared."
Addison continued to eat them and glanced up at Jasper, her mouth full. A few crumbs fell out of her mouth before she finished eating all the cookies in her mouth. "Sorry about that," she said, blushing with embarrassment. "Adria says it isn't good etiquette if we put too much food in our mouths, or even worse, talk with a lot of food in our mouths."

[hilde]

Jules nodded quickly. "Yeah. I'm going to make other puns. Um Rowan give me a pun." Before Rowan could even reply Jules just thought fast and thought of something stupid. "I bet your district is 2 because you like to wrench peoples necks in two." Then he laughed. "Oops. I should not be making these puns either..." He said out loud then got up and started inching towards the door.
Jody laughed. "Sorry Aster. You can do whatever experiments you want on my idiot brother. And sorry Rowan. You can do whatever you want to his neck."
"Nooo!" Whined Jules running out the door. Jody was still laughing.

Jill laughed nervously and walked closer to her friends. "I feel much better now. Maybe Jana went home because she can't find us. She gets so frustrated and rage quits!" She laughed thinking of the time Jana was trying to cut down a tree and she got really mad and kicked the half cut tree. It kind of fell down and almost hit the teacher.
Jasper was laughing. "That's ok! I don't mind. Manners are boring. In our family we are allowed to use the most disgusting table manners if we want to. I mean the way you're eating shows how much you enjoy the food and if you enjoy it you eat fast and messy so I take it as a big compliment!"

[anathema]

Aster glared at Jules. "If you keep at it with those puns, Jules, I will keep at it with finding different ways to dismember you. But I mean it in an endearing way," she said with a grin.
Adonis watched as Jules ran out of the nurse's office. "Should we follow him?" He asked.
"Nah," Aster said. "Let's wait for him to find a hiding spot. Then we'll go after him. A classic game of hide and seek."

Atalante glanced around. "Yeah, I agree. But what if she leaps out at us from the trees?"
"She won't," Adria answered. "It's bitterly cold out here. Not even the greatest weather-withstanding lumberjack could survive these temperatures."
"Are you sure?" Atalante asked.
"Very," Adria stated. "I'd be surprised if she's still out here."
Addison laughed. "Okay. Do you guys know if they're almost back yet? We have to be fast! Everyone eat as many cookies as you can." She grinned devilishly. "I'm so glad my sister's back. The pranking has only just begun."

[hilde]

Jules ran all the way down to the basement where he hid in the hell hound doghouse and pretended to be a hellhound.
"How long should we wait?" Asked Jody. "He isn't that good at hiding. He is probably pretending to be a tree and standing there. When we walk past him he will say "I'm not a tree"."

"I don't think tree jumping is her style. She would probably break the entire tree in 2 pieces." Laughed Jill nervously.
Jasper laughed but then he was pushed aside by the Tybalts jumping on the cookies and beginning to eat. Just then the door opened. "Run everyone! Adria's back!" Yelled June. Then Jasper gasped. "That's not Adria..."
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY COOKIES!" January yelled.
