Soon Kai drifts off to sleep.
Soon Kai drifts off to sleep.
Soon, though, the train arrived at the Capital. Ara stood in the doorway, waiting until it was her turn to leave the train to greet the throngs of people that surrounded it. She was the perfect picture of calm, her face smooth and eyes blank. She let a small smirk cross her features as she watched the crowd. “Pathetic, aren’t they?” She said, more to herself than anyone else.
Blaise woke as the train jerked to a halt and stood. “We’re here,” he said, shaking Ash gently awake.
Royce followed Ara soon after. He had a page opened to which he showed to everyone he passed by.
Greetings there people! ^-^ was written (and drawn) on that specific page. He was smiling slightly, enjoying himself like this. He had his bottle of water in his other hand, gripping it like he was going to do something with it soon enough.
Ara ignored everyone. She held her head high and walked purposefully towards the building where they were staying. She smirked slightly as someone fell to the path in front of her. Extending her hand, she helped them up, and they yelped with the cold of her skin.
Royce noticed how the streets were slightly wet. He saw a couple walking towards the water stained road and decided that it might be a good idea to separate them.
He glanced at the slightly wet floor and that immediately turned into ice. The couple stepped on the thin ice and slipped, hitting their back on the ice. It didn’t hurt much, it was just annoying. Royce voicelessly giggled as he followed Ara.
Ara saw and snorted. “Poor people can’t even walk on ice,” she sneered. She swept her hair back, revealing her gills, and as she did so, and icy wind blew, making many of them shiver. “They don’t much like the cold,” she remarked, smirking.
Royce nodded and stared at the thin ice the couple were on. The ice sheet evaporated and the vapor divided him and the crowd. As he walked, the vapor condensed back into water and then frozen into icicles that fall to every step he took.
Ara glanced back at him. “You’re just showing off, aren’t you?” She had covered the ground in front of her with swirling ice, creating a path to the building. She was showing off, in fact.
Right back at you he showed this to Ara with a slight smile as he continued to follow her.
She shrugged. “I’m not denying it.” She stepped through the doors and down the hall to the elevator. Where she stepped, ice swarmed from that spot and up the walls, in delicate patterns, encasing the place in ice.
(Why… why is this reminding me of—)
(Six-year-old cousin from another room : LET IT GO, LET IT GO!!)
Royce glanced at the patterns the ice created and delicately smiled.
These are beautiful he showed to Ara as he caught up to her.
(Me: CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE! I mean, um… nothing.)
Ara shrugged. “Are they? They’re not my best. I think they’re too pretty, but hey, it impresses people, which is the best part of them.”
(Nope, too late now)
Royce nodded. He smiled to confirm his thought. He turned a page.
By the way, where are we going?
Blaise woke as the train jerked to a halt and stood. “We’re here,” he said, shaking Ash gently awake.
Ash jolted awake, immediately standing up. She was disoriented, assessment planned on falling asleep in the first place. She reached for her dagger before remembering she didn't have it. That was when she realized where she was, and sighed.
Kai jolted awake as the train stopped, and rubbed his eyes sleepily as he prepared himself for what was to come.
Seong-Jin walked through the pathway with his chin up high. As he walked he felt someone touch his soft feathers on his wing. He quickly spread out his wing knocking the child who had touched it, then put his wing back to his back. The air was still cold, provably from all of the ice tricks the others were doing. Some ladies fawning over him but he had to resist pushing them over to. He couldn't STAND people gawking over him. He's always been good looking, and well he hates it. He uses it wisely though.
Kai walked through the pathway with a confident smile, but on the inside he was nervous. He knew he had to be careful not to show it. So, he kept smiling confidently.
(Guys, I'm so sorry! Can someone briefly explain what is going on and where everyone is?)
(Darn it. I shouldn’t have done that lol)
“Our rooms,” Ara said simply. “The place where the Tributes stay while they wait for the Games.” She pointed to the signs. “That’s how I know. Also, I’ve seen the clips of other Tributes going this way after the train.”
Blaise smiled gently at her. “Come on. We should go now. We have to get to our rooms, and then you can go back to sleep. I know I will.”
(So, Water people are walking to their rooms, Fires are still on the train, Air male is walking to the building where the Tributes sleep, and Earth is too.)
Kai walks into the building and immediately starts looking for his room.
Royce nodded and smiled. He was starting to like this teammate of his even more. He followed her gently with his hands behind his back.
Ara came a door that seemed to be made of water, and rolled her eyes. “Of course, this is our room. You know, this year’s Tributes are more ice than water, but what do they care?” She places a finger on the door and it froze, turning different shades and tones of blue. She opened it and featured for Royce to enter. “Ladies first,” She said with a small smirk.
Royce was possibly prepared for that situation as he turned a page and without writing anything.
Hahah… very funny…
Ara snorted. “I know, right? I’m just a barrel of laughs, aren’t I?” Her smirk widened. “Did you write that earlier?”
Cara lazily strolled behind her teammate. This is ridiculous. I'm going to have a serious talk with Vexa after this…
Peipe shuffled slowly behind her teammate. She wouldn't talk to anyone and she wouldn't stop trembling either.
