The Hunger Games: 100 Years After The Fall Of Snow (RP) discussion

...

Kevin was walking home from work. He looked at his dirty hands, wondering if he should stop by the river to rinse them off or just wait until he got home.

Allegra was sitting under a tree by the river, pretty much hidden. She sighed and carved drawings into the dirt. Business with her livestock wasn't doing well.

Kevin jumped when her saw her. He had decided to go to the river after-all.

She looked up at him. "Did I scare you?" she asked quietly.

Kevin nodded and looked at her. "Yes, actually, you did. I wasn't expecting there to be a girl to be sitting under a tree when I came to rinse off my hands"

Allegra smiled ever so slightly. "Yeah, well, not anymore." She stood up, about to go.

Kevin waved shortly. "See ya" he kneeled down and started to wash off his hands

She sighed and looked at him. Why wasn't she leaving?

Kevin stood up, wiping his hands on his jeans. "Goodbye?" he asked more than said

"Uh-yeah...bye..." She felt stupid now. She walked away, her head hanging low.

Kevin tilted his head to one side, confused. Then he noticed the carvings in the ground. "Did you do these?"

She turned around. "Yeah..."

Kevin nodded "They're cool"

Allegra nodded. "Thanks."

Kevin smiled and started walking home.

She pressed her lips together and lingered by the river for a bit.

Kevin started whistling and put his hands in his pockets

Allegra sighed and swirled her hand in the water.

((sorry I had dinner))
Kevin ran back, remembering his lucky rock that was on a tree stump. He picked it up, looking at the swirling pattern

((Did you see our posts in the Chatter?))

((I'll check))

She looked up. "You're back?))

Kevin went back home. He found Celeste sitting upright on the couch, eyes closed. Kevin set his rock on the table and sat next to her, hands behind his back. "Hey Celeste! Guess what I got you!" He smiled. Once every year, on their parets anniversary, they got eachother a present. Celeste opened her eyes and smiled. Speaking softly, she got out a simple brown bag. "You open yours first" She handed him the bag and he opened it with a huge smile. It was a necklace. The necklace was chain link and simple. he put it on, his smile getting wider. He silently promised to never take it off. He handed her a box. She smiled and took it, opening it slowly. It was a bracelet. Very simple, black cord with a silver stripe "Thank you" se hugged him and went to the picture of their parents

Allegra sighed. She was upset that she had no family left, but that's the way it went. She laid down next to the river with no intentions of returning home.

Noctis crept silently through the dense foliage of the woods, his cerulean eyes constantly searching the sky and the ground all at once for danger. He currently had two daggers in each of his boots and had a sword on his back. He was looking to hunt something other than a bird or a squirrel; he needed something bigger for money. His stomach growled in protest but he would not feed himself, not yet, not until he sold something. This year was not a very good one.

She shifted, the leaves crunching under her. She carried no weapons, ever. For what reason, she didn't know. Allegra felt safe with her fists. Though that was a stupid plan, it was true.

His cerulean hues shifted, his scrutiny landing in the direction of the woods as shifting leaves sounded. Someone else or something else was obviously present. He decided to check it out and so, slowly but surely, he quietly made his way to the river where he witnessed a female. Sadly, however, she was not prey.

Celeste decided to take a walk to the river. Usually the river was lonely and just perfect for Celeste, but she sensed it would be more populated this time. She went anyways. Once she got there she sat down on a tree-stump, watching the two older people

Seeing another presence, and cursing beneath his breath at how she had already witnessed him, Noctis took a step back and hid his body behind a tree to avoid further being seen. As silently as he could he tried to creep away; he was curious for the both of them but misfortunately shyness kept him away.

((the reaping hasn't happened yet))
Celeste watched as Noctis hid himself in the leaves. She made no move to approach him or talk to him

((Pppftt, oops.))

Finally out of range, he slowly began to make his way deeper into the forest, making sure to stay a little close to the river to make certain he did not get himself lost even when he knew the area like the back of his hand. A rustle caught his attention and he saw a bird in a tree above. Removing a dagger from his boot slowly, he chucked the dagger at the reptilian (birds are considered reptiles) and watched as it fell. It wasn't big but at least he could feed himself.

:) ((it's fine))
Celeste's eyes followed him until he was gone. She lifted a finger an a butterfly perched on it, flexing it's wings

Locating the bird and gingerly picking it up, he removed the dagger. He tossed the bird up and down in his hand as he went back to the river to wash the dagger off. He dropped the corpse beside him as he dipped the blade in the river and his hands. He was going to have to touch the bird again but whatever.

The butterfly flew away when Noctis came back. Celeste looked at him

He glanced at the girl and gave her an offhanded wave."Hey," he greeted, knowing how morbid the scene probably looked to someone as innocent as a girl who apparently adored butterflies.

Celeste laughed shortly, very softly. She did a small wave and smiled

He took his daggers and his hand out of the water, stuffing the daggers back into his boots and shaking his hand free of water."Something funny?" He asked. It wasn't a threat, as he was smiling in amusement.

Celeste shook her head. I
