Hunger Games! discussion

This is District 4

Annabeth: I walk through the town square, looking for what my brother requested. He was ill, and I had to carry both of our jobs jobs on my own.

Lyric: I haul my catch of the day into the town square. I needed to sell at least half of it, and I only had an hour before I had to go home and make dinner.

Annabeth: After I buy the medicine he needed, I had to buy something for dinner too. We bother didn't manage to go fish today. I was taking care of him the full day. I walk up to a girl selling fish. "Hello. How much?" I say politely.

((Which girl?))

((lol doesnt matter))

((Ok.... What's a good price for fish?))

((Uh....No idea. lol, just say she told her, but don't say the price? lol))

((Lol, k))
Lyric: I told her the price. "How much do you want?"

Annabeth: I put down the medicine and look through the remaining money I have. "Just one." I finally say. "Thank you."

Lyric: "thank you." I have her the fish. I paused. "Are you sure you don't want another?

Annabeth: I shake my head. "I'm sorry. My brother...He's ill. I don't think he would be able to finish even half, sadly."

"Oh. I'm so sorry. Do you want any for the rest of your family? I could give you some for free."

Annaeth: I furiously shake my head. "Really, it's fine." I didn't have any other family. I blink. I think I recognized this girl from school. "Do I know your name?"

"I'm not sure. I'm lyric. What's your name?"

Annabeth: "Annabeth. I think I've seen you at school. I'm sixteen years old. You?"

"Same. 16"

Annabeth: I nod. "Then We've definitely met. Guess I just don't talk too loudly, do I."

"I guess not. Neither do I. Are you sure about the fish though?"

Annabeth: "Positive. Won't your family need it?"

"No, I've got plenty. Usually I don't get many sales, so we actually end up with little money, but tons of food."

Annabeth: "Oh. I'm really sorry."

"it's not like it's your fault or anything."

Annabeth: "I know. All the same. At least you have food."

"Please. Take some fish."

Annabeth: I pause. I finally break down after a while of hesitation. "Thank you. So much." I whisper,

"it's no problem." i hand her more fish.

Annabeth: "Thank you." I say again. "I really owe you one. My brother is dying back at home." I finally admit, swallowing back fear.

Lyric: "I wish you luck, then. And I hope he gets better. How many times is your name in?"

Annabeth: "Thirty-two." I admit. "You?"

"30. We can't live off just fish." I said sadly.

Annabeth: I nod in agreement. "That's why half the fishing people go for tesserae."

Lyric: "it's really not fair, but..." I shrugged. "You do what you have to do, I guess, right?"

Annabeth: "Exactly." I say sadly. "Which in sadness, can go to desperate measures."

((brb))

Lyric: "good luck to you and your brother." I repeated.

Annabeth: "Thank you. And may the odds be in your favor as well."

Lyric; "I hate that line. But thank you. May the odds be ever in your favour as well." I said, mimicking the Capitol accent.

Annabeth: I laugh. "I think we'll both need the odds pointing right for us."

"Right on. I'll see you in school?"

Annabeth: I nod, smiling slightly. "Yeah. Hopefully. See you then. And thank you."

Lyric: "again. It's no trouble. I just hope I get a few more sales before I have to go make dinner."

Annabeth: I grin. "Good luck, then. See you in school." I flash her one last smile before running home to my brother.
