Jubilee simply nodded at the girls response, though maybe she was hiding her real thoughts too. It wasn't just her that chose to hide things behind shadows, she wasn't sure if that made her feel better though. She wasn't even sure about what she felt, she had to keep a fake personality by her side at all times and edges between that and her true self often blurred.

She was going to decline the offer to go with Valentine, she swore that she was. The girl from district 8 opened up her mouth and started to respond "Thank you for the offer but I'll have to-" She was cut off by the sound of a gun firing off.

Alright, no. That was it, someone else was already dead. She was not going to let this little mouse scamper off and then Jubilee would hear another gunshot and wonder if the cats had caught her. She wasn't going to let that happen, after all, she had a knife and Valentine didn't.

"I'm not sure. But that settles it, I'm coming with you. I've got a weapon so I can help protect you in case there is still someone guarding the supplies, or going there too." She wasn't sure what her voice was doing now. It wasn't harsh like before, nor was it scarily happy. She seemed protective, a determined expression forming on her face. It wasn't something she'd thought of before, but this emotion was the perfect merging of the two personalities.

This weakling will not die yet.

Valentine Heath • District 10 • 16

Valentine sighed as she accepted. However, she heard something in the girls voice that startled her. Is that... Determination I hear? She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, she just hoped with girl wouldn't turn on her and kill her on the way there. She nodded and began to scramble stiffly down the mountain side, her fingers still numb from the cold. Her slender fingers wrapped around a small bush sticking out of the snow, but it gave out and she tumbled a foot down until she finally hooked herself around again. Valentine motioned for the girl to follow. Valentine spoke again, "I'm sorry, but I don't believe I caught your name. I am Valentine, District 10." She stared at the girl expectantly.

Vincent studied the other tribute, amazed at how her confidence changed by a simple lunge accompanied by the presence of a weapon. Amusement flickered across his dark eyes, lightening them for a moment before it disappeared. "You enjoy killing?" He repeated, looking puzzled. "Why would you enjoy ending another's life?" He took a step back and hefted his sword, wondering if they were just going to stand there until another tribute found them. "Look, do you wanna fight or not? If you don't, walk away slowly with your weapon where I can see it. If you do, then let's get started, shall we?"

Natasha rolled her eyes as he finally stopped, quickly catching up with him. "Well, gather up your sinisterness for once we meet another tribute." She tended to make up words like that; It was just more fun. The girl pulled her hair back from her face and continued to climb. "Even though you want me to go away, I'm not. Sorry, not sorry. Now that I think about it, the snow up there is a nice way to get water." The girl stole a glance at him. "Do you have any Sponsers? If you try, maybe they could get you something for your injuries or that illness you're catching."

Sgorr Bacon • District 9 • 14

Sgorr rolled his eyes. "What illness?" He asked as a sudden tint lit up his eyes. The tint didn't give off a good feeling, it had almost looked crazed. Sgorr snorted. "No I don't have any sponsors. I wasn't 'charming' enough. And it doesn't help coming from puny District 9." He kicked a stone and went skidding off the edge of the cliff. "I'm guessing you don't have any either? Just considering by that you asked and that you aren't exactly a stroll in the park." He smirked waiting to see her expression at his taunt.

Natasha paused for a millisecond before moving on again. She wrinkled her node at him. "Impressive. I kinda agree with the Sponsers; You aren't exactly that charming hero coming to save the day." She stuck her tongue out at him mockingly. She nearly slipped off a stone glossed over with ice -- seemingly invisible ice. The girl let out a yelp as her hands shot forward, catching on the boulders before she fell off the mountain. She quickly regained her ground, shooting a warning glance at Sgorr, knowing he might find that a lovely chance to taunt her.

Sgorr Bacon • District 9 • 14

"Hero? I guess not..." He bunched up his arms and stepped at Natasha as if he was about to push her off the cleft. He smirked as she flinched and he crossed his arms over his chest still with a smirk covering his lips. "Now, if your going to be cruising with me, why don't we go back to the cove before someone gets the smart idea to kill the other one." He looked down the way he had come with a gulp. Sgorr was not looking forward to another treck. He was very unstable at the moment and the bandage on his arm was completely red now. He began to clamber down, not waiting to see if Natasha followed him or not.

Natasha gave a small nod of agreement, ignoring the fact that she flinched. "Aye aye, captain. Wait a minute . . . Good tip, butler. Let's get moving." She stuck her nose in the air arrogantly, casting him a teasing look. When she glanced at him, she noticed how the cloth covering his injury was soaked with blood. "You should wash that clean and cover it with something new." The girl shrugged and trekked on, wondering why she hasn't received anything worst than scrapes and nicks. I'm just lucky, I suppose.

The mountainside was steep and rocky and didn't look too inviting. But she had come all the way up, now it was just time to go all the way back down again. But this time she was tagging along with someone, though she wouldn't call the mouse a companion. They weren't really teaming up. They were just kind of moving along together.

Jubilee almost had a total panic when the girl slipped and fell a short distance, but she didn't need to worry so much. They were both fine, though Jubilee did slip a little bit she was mostly unscathed. And she still managed to keep hold of her knife which was good.

Finally the girl spoke, and revealed her name that was Valentine. "I'm Jubilee, from district 8." was her simple response, in a cheery tone again, but it wasn't overly exaggerated happiness. It was just normal, yet still out of place. The blonde girl was still figuring herself out, what side to put forward and what to keep hidden. It was difficult juggling them both.

She continued walking. "Valentine is a nice name," she added a few minutes after she'd last spoken.

kiara • 17 • district 7 • tagged; vincent
Kiara didn't know what to do. His confusion at her words amused her at least. That was something. They both seemed amused by each other actually.

She stood up again, leaving the ground where just a second ago she'd curled up and begged. She was confused and amused and puzzled and kind of angry. She was a mess of emotions and the district 7 girl simply watched Vincent for a moment. She could step away from here as he had said, she could give herself a chance to live longer. But if she managed to kill him here, wouldn't that we good too?

"I'll fight," she said with a grin, flipping her long brown fringe out of her face. Her hands positioned themselves just so on her axe. She was ready now. No confusion, no fear, no messing around. Just fighting, like she always did. Except this time death was likely to follow.

She raced at him, aiming her axe at him. She took a big strong swing, first aiming for his chest, but that was a hoax. She soon quickly changed to aim for his legs. She wasn't graceful, she wasn't quiet. But she was strong and she knew how to get the job done. She just needed to make sure he didn't speak, his words seemed to be good at confusing her.

Valentine Heath • District 10 • 16

Valentine stopped for a moment and smiled the first real smile she had smiled in a long time, however she was facing the other way so that Jubilee couldn't see it. Her soft voice rumbled from her throat again. "Thank you. I like Jubilee too. It sounds like a fun name." She didn't know exactly what she meant by a "fun name" but it made sense. Of course Valentine didn't know that Jubilee thought of her as a mouse and the other tributes as cats, but if she did she would have called Jubilee the leopard. The big cat that protected her prize and would fight to keep the prey to herself. Once they had finally made it back down -- which was a long time -- Valentine turned to Jubilee ready to hatch a plan. "I'm sure the other tributes have gotten to the bounty first, like whoever killed Chandler. I think one of us should go so that we don't risk the others safety." She looked Jubilee over. "It should be me. I know you didn't want to come here anyways so it is my duty to get as much as I can." She eyed the dome once the got closer. Valentine crouched into a running stance with preperation.

Sgorr Bacon • District 9 • 14

Finally the pair had made it to the bottom, however he stood frozen because he heard footsteps. He heard voices, a female, a male, and a young voice. He stayed close to the rock and crouched on all fours, making progress to the cove. "Some people are nearby. If we make it to the cove we should be covered." He whispered roughly. Sgorr pulled out he tiny knife and gripped it like his life depended on it, because it did.

Melania:
She scowled, a bit irritated by Watson's attitude. I guess I'll just stop talking then, she thought and trotted down to join up with the other careers.


Austin
He cocked his head, a bit confused as to why Kate would ask such a question. "Why...?" He asked. He didn't want to give out personal information to any other tribute, and even though he was going to die anyways, the Capitol would hear. He was perfectly aware of the cameras filming him right now.
