Test Drive Meme

Welcome new Tributes!

The Capitol has gathered a good crop of you at once, and to help morale, and to ease you into Capitol society they are throwing a banquet, just for those who work with the Games. Stylists, Escorts, mentors, a few of the Capitol elite, and of course, you all, the Tributes.

Instead of waking up in the normal way, new Tributes awake in lush beds, in a very posh ski lodge. Elegant but simple clothes are laid out for them, in a warm grey, and a note to come down as soon as they are ready. And if they linger too long, a peacekeeper appears to escort them down.

Those from the Capitol, are brought in on chartered party buses, one for each District, which are about as posh as a bus can get. It's a roughly 45 minute drive, well out of the Capitol's city limits.

Although the party is "mellow" by Capitol standards, it is still pretty damn extravagant. Alcohol flows freely, and banquet tables are kept fully stocked by silent avoxes. The whole ski lodge has been cleared out, and guest can hit up an ice skating rink, or pick out a swim suit and jumped into the huge, natural hot springs tubs.

As the night drags on, however, all does not go as planned. Half way through the night, there is a tremendous roar, and the hotel is plunged into pitch blackness. There is chaos for roughly 10 minutes, till low power emergency lights flicker on. However the generators don't have the power to keep the heater going.

A first aid station is set up, and the avoxes start pulling in blankets to the main lobby, lighting a fire in the fireplace and doing what they can to keep everyone warm. It is quickly communicated that there was an avalanche, and although the hotel remains in good shape, the power and the road to the Capitol has been cut out.

It's going to be a long night.


OOC INFORMATION


Welcome to the test drive meme for [community profile] thegames!

We are both a jamjar and a Hunger Games AU character game. You can choose to either have your character ported in from their world or AU them into Panem. Detailed knowledge of the Hunger Games is not required. We accept just about any character and character type that we can work into the world, including AUs, OCs, and up to 3 multiples (however, each versions of a character must be significantly different from the others.)

All the information you need can be found in this post, which can always be found at the top of the mod account. And if you don't find something you need, the FAQ is here, so drop us a line!

Welcome, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

"That is indeed my place of being in times former, Sister," He says, swallowing. He doesn't know what to do. He can't let himself feel anything other than confused and... maybe a little alarmed.

He rattles on, "I pray mother fuckin pardon, a sister didst seem to be of likeness mirrored in countenance and way of righteous word. Assumption poured as harsh brew, my dear friend she was like to be, but it appears naught but hollow writ of promise. Let it be said on this day, no trespass was intended on thy person."

He's vaguely hopeful she might stop him to tell him he is incorrect. He is also hopeful that she does not.

She shakes her head, hands curled to keep herself in the moment. She doesn't really know what to say--of course she looks like someone he knows. She was someone he knew.

"I was Meulin Leijon. I'm the Disciple of Alternia." Short, brief, but god she doesn't want to explain this to him. She doesn't want to do these things.

She's her? She says she's her. But that can't be. He grips a hand into the bit of shirt over his pusher.

"...Comprehension prevails in efforts to allude, my sister. My heart keeper, my best friend, she doth claim to be she in former and name. Yet before me she stands reticent and spiritless, of adult sobriquet and structure, with no insight offered in time of this unholy deliverance." He sounds confused, hurt.

He steps forward suddenly, reaching out with a hand.

"Meulin--"

"I'm not your Meulin--" She starts but pulls back, hand up as if to keep him back. Oh--wait heart keeper? She shakes her head, eyes wide and inching back just slightly.

"Don't tell--no. Don't touch me please." She's trying to swallow the instant hatred she feels, just from the shape of his horns or the paint on his face. The next words fall out of her in a rush as she tries to explain without lingering too much on any one thing. The faster this is explained, the faster she can get somewhere else to clear her head.

"I'm not your Meulin. I'm from Alternia. Not Beforus. In my world you're someone else. Whatever--whatever relationship we had on Beforus."

His hand retracts sharply as she moves away. It hovers mid-air and then covers his mouth as he shakes his head, other arm holding tight against his waist. He forces himself to look away from her.

Smile. Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, MOTHER FUCKER SMILE.

He can't. He can't. His eyes prick indigo but he won't let them fall at least. He wishes he hadn't found her. No he feels more alone than before. He doesn't completely understand what she means, but he accepts it because what all else can he do?

He drops his hand away and gasps for a steadying breath. He nods roughly.

"Discernment strikes at last, though in times late. I plead of thee forgiveness, m- sister, and with querie to she whether it must be so absconding ought be about me."

Shit. Shit, she wants to comfort--something, because if she's right about what he meant, they were...No wonder Kankri didn't seem to care much for her. Wrong person. Wrong quadrant. No quadrant at all she expected.

But hate runs deep and she can't stop herself from feeling it. It's instant and horrible and all encompassing. She wishes it were softer, more romantic--if only to possibly understand this boy--but it's not and will never really be.

"I don't understand what you mean by about you... Just--don't apologize."

His mouth gapes, voiceless. Then slams shut. His face twists and shoulders hike. His throat aches something awful and his pusher all the more so. He wants to say sorry again, but obviously he can't, so instead he just nods bobs his head in an attempt to nod.

"M-meaning parsed was to be of... inquiry for whether all she request a b-brother take leave."

He hugs himself, head hanging and eyes closed tight.
