When the girl, Riva, asked how many stings I had, I replied so my allies would let me do more stuff,"Only 2. I got out of there real fast." I looked at the supplies. No. Knives. I sigh. "So I guess there wasn't any knives, was there?" Then I say,"At district 2, we weren't taught much knots because our trainers thought we wouldn't need it. Does anyone know of a good knot?"

((Did anything happen overnight with Lia, Cia, Lolita, and Charlie?))
"That's good, then. And no. No knives, it was all survival sort of stuff." Riva shrugged. She should know a bit about knots, having spent all her training time at that station, but she was doing only a mediocre job on the door. And the girl was from district two? Usually the tributes from two were volunteers, setting out to win. She didn't look like a career. But Riva didn't want to underestimate her.
((Nope, it still day 1, they just woke up after 4 or 5 hours.
As I see Riva "evaluate" me, I see her nod her head. I say,"Yeah... I wasn't a volunteer, if that's what you're thinking. I was picked. But no one dared to volunteer for me because let's just say some people or slightly scared of me."
Charlie thought for a moment. The girl seemed genuine enough. Despite everyone's differences, they all had the same objective: to not die. Getting inside this store would help. Very, very much. "I would love to know what's in there, but I'll bet that there has to be something guarding all those goodies. The Gamemakers wouldn't just leave everything there for the taking." Charlie sighed, deep in thought. "If we could just know what's protecting all of the supplies, we might know how to fight it, or outsmart it." How on earth could they fight it? They didn't have any weapons. They'd figure something out, she supposed. They'd play this by ear. Once they knew what they're up against, they'd have a better chance of defeating it.
I know that this is silly of me, but I begin to wonder where the other tributes are. I suddenly want to find them. This is a very stupid idea of mine, I know, but... what if the other tributes have supplies we need. What if they know something we don't?
Lia had basically been quiet this whole time. The arrival of Charlie, her and Cia debating entering the store, who should, and all of that. Lolita had basically stayed quiet that whole time, and Lia felt as though that was usual from her from the vibes she was getting. "I think that we're going to need a weapon of some sorts, maybe we should tackle the Cornucopia." Lia didn't really trust Charlie at all, she had some weak trust in Cia- she seemed deceiving, and she knew next to nothing about Lolita, so she wouldn't feel right going anywhere with any of these girls.
((Sora, are Linadel and Ash at the Cornucopia yet?))
((Okay.. so you mean I should post a post concerning Mihr and stuff..?))
Mod
"Right," she said, not sarcasticly. You never knew, with these upper district people. She saw that Minerva seemed to be struggling, and gestured at her. "Do you know what we can do about that? What are those leaves you have?"
Lia ended up being slightly defused that her idea had been shot down so quickly, but she knew before she had even spoken that it probably would have been anyways. "Anyways, I think that we're just wasting time right now and--" That was when the extreme heat suddenly got to Lia. What were the GameMakers trying to do, make them die from heat exhaustion or heat stroke? Probably.
"Not surprising. I don't think you should try to walk for a while. You're still drifting in and out of hallucinations," Riva told her. It wasn't very worrying if Minerva couldn't walk now, they would just have to hope she would improve before too long.
Mihr had been trapped in the Cornucopia for quite some time, due to the wind. And suddenly it became hot. Extremely hot. She felt her legs weaken almost, and she thought she felt her knees about to buckle, and so she got herself into a kneeling position quickly. She rolled up her knee highs so that they were more like sorts and was grateful that she was wearing a tanktop. She decided to stock up on some more supplies. She had 7 weapons. 7 knives. But no water, and she had no idea how safe the water here was to drink anyways. So she grabbed the two things that were nearest to her, a water purification tablet and a water bottle and stuffed them in her backpack as well. But then, she thought she heard the rooftop door, begin to creak, she scrambled to her feet. She had no weapons in her hands, although she could grab one in a second if needed.
Mod
"It will do for now." Riva didn't want to worry her more. "You'll be ok." She avoided the question.((How many did she get?))

"Right. Can't we just find a makeshift weapon or something to break the windows, peek inside, see what's in there and all? And if there's anything useful we'll take it. And if there's mutts.. we'll run." Lia suggested, The plan was simple, and was basically what everything had been saying before just in bits and pieces. But she had but the idea back together like a puzzle.

Inside, the Capitol's programs recognized that there was someone inside the shop. It didn't bother to see who the person was, it just noticed a body. It was then that the dogs were unleashed upon the poor robotic citizen. Three muttation hounds descended upon the robot, tearing it to shreds. Then, satisfied they had done their job, the hounds retreated to their hidden cages in the back of the store.
Mod
"I'll go." Lia offered immediately. Her eyes were suddenly very determined. She wanted to be able to do something for once and not just stand around. She may not be a Career, or from Three and know a lot about robots and all, but she knew she was a fast runner and wasn't easily distracted either.
Mod
Charlie was about to offer to go, but Lia beat her to it. She wanted to actually help, to contribute, instead of being a tag-a-long. "Maybe we can stand guard? Or perhaps you can throw the supplies to us through a window or the door, so we can gather as much as we can and not have a limit as to what you can carry." She then headed to round up more bots with the rest of the girls.
Lia jogged along with Cia after a nod in Charlie and Lolita's direction. She could tell just before she left that Charlie seemed a bit disappointed that she couldn't go along with the main mission but Lia ignored it. She could still come along if she wanted to anyways. She caught up to Cia easily, and talked as she jogged. "So, what's the plan?" She got the gist of it of course, but it wasn't like they could just herd all of the citizens together and expect them to travel obediently in groups.
Mod
Lia did the same as Cia, finding it actually... easy. She found a group of 4 citizens, and asked if they could direct her to the closest general store, pretty much exactly like Cia. They obeyed her and so she requested that they stay in place while she.. she looked for an excuse in her mind. While she got a drink. She found a cluster of more citizens, six of them actually, and did the same with them. They were all surprisingly obedient for Capitol citizens. Of course, though, they weren't really Capitol citizens.
((Okay, XD... Are you just waiting for Mel to reply before continuing with Linadel?))
Charlie followed Cia's lead and asked a few 'citizens' to lead her to the nearest general store. She calmly and politely merged them with the other girls' groups in front of the door. Then stepped back slightly to give the citizens some room and herself space also. She wiped some sweat from her forehead. The heat was starting to get to her a little bit, but she ignored it, and waited for Cia and Lia's signal to usher the bots inside. She would guard the door and windows, she decided. The others might want a little bit of support, but from a different area.
((Ah okay:) She is in the UK so she probably won't be on till tomorrow))
I comfort Minny as she wraths around. When she asks how many bites she has, I pause a second, counting. 5. She has 5 bites. I pause more, not wanting to give her bad news. I say,"You have... 5 stings."
*stings :)
Sorry
Sorry
((Wait it's only been a day... less than one, actually, so why is both Minny and Sage awake...?))
Mod
"Citizens of the Capitol!" she announced to the crowd. "You lucky sixteen shoppers have been randomly selected for an incredible sale! Just step right on in-" at that she opened the door, "-because anything at the very back of the store is completely free! You heard me. Absolutely free." She had realized that the robots were programmed to act like normal Capitol citizens, who she knew couldn't resist a sale. The robots stampeded through the doors and towards the back of the store, and Cia followed in behind them. She grabbed a tablet, the thing she had wanted most of all, a sleeping bag, some matches, tarp and rope, before bolting out the doors. Hopefully Lia would pay attention to what she had grabbed, and grab things she hadn't, things that would complement it well.
Charlie couldn't resist. She figured it would be safe, and she knew she was fast enough, so she darted inside. The hounds were kept busy by the citizens, so she had time to grab rope, sleeping bag, matches, tarp, flashlight, and a backpack to store her supplies in. She then darted out once again into the blazing heat, safe and sound.

((Water purification stuff is in the drugstore (as in singular)... Which is a lot harder to get to. Just because I'm that nice.))
((Hello people! I'm back, can Adele wake up but not be able to move her arms and legs?))
((Still, it's only been [less than] a day!!! Katniss was out for three days for only three stings, so.... I mean, I'm not expecting all of us to sit around waiting for five days to be over, but... IDK... ??????))
((Good point, maybe she can be in and out of hallotionations?))
((Sounds good ;) BTW, sorry for being so.... IDK, bossy?))
(( it's okay, I get like that to. :) we're good.))
Adele drafted in and out of horrors of her own mind. She saw her foster parents getting shot right in front of her, her sister screaming her name as she bled to death in the bloodbath, and Neph. His was always the worst. He was ether dying or being tortured, and she was always stuck behind a invisible glass wall, unbreakable and heart wrenching. He would call out her name as he burned on a stake, or when he was shot just in a place where it took forever for him to bleed out. The only comfort was when she regained some sense of sanity and saw Sage hovering over her, her face worried and helpless.
I answer Minny's question and then she slowly drifts back to sleep,"No! Of course not...". When Adele wakes up I smile at her. I say hello and then ask her where she thinks she is. I am hoping she will, we definitely do not want her to have a mental illness.
"In the Hunger Games......wait! Where are we?! Are we safe?!?!" Adele asks.
"Yes, yes. Of course. You're safe here. Don't worry." I say.
"Yes, yes. Of course. You're safe here. Don't worry." I say.
"Why can't I move?" She asked. She was calmer now, due to the fact that they were safe and, for the moment, she was out of her personal hell (not cursing, right?).
