The 94th Hunger Games of Panem (Accepting and Open)

"Melody, right? why are you being so cheery? you realize where we are going right?" he asked, he was obviously curious about her. he's never talked to her so calmly before, he's rarely talked to her without saying "Gah, or "Gneahee", or some sound.

[jensenda]

Melody frowned.
"Lets just say I get in so much trouble for fighting and killing at home, I think of this as a chance to have some freedom. Before I'm killed. I mean, I'm wanted for stealing anyway, so someone would kill me anyway!" She explained. She gave a quick glance at his neck.
"Is that your token?" She asked.

[Dyrezz]

Brycen blinked, looking down to the small sapphire, "yeah, it is... it belonged to my mother, with this here, i feel closer to her. like she's with me, figuratively.

[jensenda]

Melody nodded. She pointed to the butterfly, burnt into her arm.
"From a mining incident. It came out as butterfly. Strange. The same mining that caused
my mother to be so I'll right now." She explained sadly.

[Dyrezz]

Brycen was a little confused, "isn't that a tattoo?" he asked, he didn't want to make the situation sad from asking about family, even his family was in tears when they said goodbye.

Nia watched the other Tribute from her District with her wide, curious eyes. Her young face stared up at him, her head tilted slightly to the side. "Hello." She murmured, a small smile on her face. She barely reconized the person she was speaking too, but he brought a small comfort to her, knowing that he was in the same crazy situation, and that he was from her home.

(Right, I forgot to change it on the form, too a burn. One moment!)

Melody shook her head, still thinking about her little brother, and her sickly mother. She sighed
sadly, her hand still on her butterfly. She could
almost feel the flames leaping at her skin.

[Dyrezz]

Brycen inhaled, "so, who is part of your family?" he asked, deciding to change the topic, he didn't really like talking about family because it made him feel like he was compasssionate, he really wasn't, he was given the nickname of Ice because of how he acts, he doesn't like showing true emotions. but he felt Melody needed to talk about something.

[jensenda]

Melody bit her lip.
"My little brother Jakob, he's 13, and my mother. And that's it." She explained, not wanting to say anymore then what had already been spoken. The burn was warm under the touch of her soft hand, and it gave Melody a bit more confidence then she had had before.

[Dyrezz]

Brycen smiled, it was fake, "My dad, and my little brother, Andre, he's turning twelve in a couple of weeks..." he was trying to keep the coversation light, isn't there a mentor suppose to be coming? he thought, hoping that someone will come to ease the tension, the Train cart felt smooth, but it held tension, a tension that will disambiguate their lives.
