Beware the Tiefling

WHO| Neeshka and OPEN
WHAT| A very angry little demon-child
WHEN| Morning on the second day of Arena 05, after she's been revived and released
WHERE| Stalking the streets
WARNING/NOTES| As the title says. Beware the tiefling and her angry-words.



Neeshka is not a happy camper. She didn't even last a whole day. Not a whole day! Some-- some bitch just came up behind her and mocked her, not even to her face, and as she was trying to turn around, bam. That was it. She hadn't even had a chance to see who her attacker was!

Oh, she knows now. She's seen the instant replays. And next time she sees that blue bitch, someone is getting cut. Or something. Neeshka is better than that, and she knows it, and that just makes her more angry. So instead of sitting and stewing in her rooms, she's walking and stewing, and for once not paying attention to the shop windows or the pockets of people around her. She's just walking, shoulders hunched, hands in her pockets, toes kicking at the snow, and tail lashing about.

Approach at your own risk. She's not likely to be very nice, if you mention her horrible, embarrassing death....

Ariadne recognised the Tribute the moment she rounded the corner; it was hard not to, after all. She had been out trying to find a handful of art supplies so she could take up a hobby - her usual work, though here, it was a hobby - when she came upon the girl, frowning.

"Are you all right?" She asked without hesitation, once she was close enough to see that Neeshka wasn't really that happy.

It worked out well enough for her; she didn't really like being recognised anyway. It was part of the reason she still managed to dress the way she used to, though with just a touch of Capitol flair. Enough to keep people from noticing that she was indeed a Victor.

"It happens. The Cornucopia tends to be a fairly brutal place; I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the first time, either," she replied, perhaps unhelpfully.

"Don. Don't mention that around him; he doesn't really like it," Ariadne offered mildly, almost completely unperturbed by the fact that Neeshka was even more angry than before. "I meant in the future. What with everyone being brought into the Arena time and time again, there's only so many times you can get to the last round."

"Then you know what you have to do next time, don't you? Watch your back; train a little harder. Make sure you watch the other Tributes in this round so you know their weaknesses for the next one," she pointed out, unsure of quite why she was giving this many tips out.

Ariadne tipped her head to one side, studying the other woman. "But you can't get distracted. Not unless everyone else around you is distracted as well," she pointed out, her gaze still levelled at Neeshka; it only faltered when she glanced to that tail, frowning a little to herself. "Otherwise you're just begging to get killed."

"A Victor. From Arena 03," she replied plainly, unperturbed by the attempt to turn the conversation back on her. It never really worked, not when Ariadne was self-assured enough to know that she was good at some things, and strategising had been one of them. Sure, it had taken two tries, but it had taken her two attempts to design a maze that took a minute to solve - that couldn't be solved, even. Third time's the charm.

She rolled one shoulder in a nonchalant shrug, glancing over her shoulder briefly, eyes scanning the nearby surroundings. Truth be told, she was almost bored by the conversation, by the ire that she was being faced with; she found the buildings almost more interesting. "Because you seemed to need it. Or do I need another reason?"

Valeria is equally absorbed in her own thoughts as she walks, trying desperately to spark some sort of creative genius. The fresh air isn't working as well as she had hoped and she's concentrating so hard on her own problems that she doesn't see Neeshka until she bumps into her.

"Oh, sorry dear," she mutters automatically, moving to brush past her.
electriccandlelight: PB Nicki Minaj looking dismissive. (Psh.)

[personal profile] electriccandlelight 2013-01-25 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm?" Valeria looked up with polite disinterest before the words sunk in. She frowned. "What?" She finally took a second to actually look over the other woman and her eyebrows rose. "Oh, it's you," she said flatly.

"I hardly go around charging at people," Valeria protested, stung. She was still unused to these strangely outspoken Tributes. "And it may be a foreign concept to you, dearie, but we try to be polite around here."
electriccandlelight: PB Nicki Minaj looking off the side, disgusted. (Ugh gross)

[personal profile] electriccandlelight 2013-01-29 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Valeria sniffed. "Well, perhaps I'm the friendly sort, hm? And if you're hearing condescension, maybe that's your problem. People with self-esteem issues can such problems hearing what people are actually saying, you know."

"I said I was polite, thank you, not nice!" Valeria, in fact, considered herself a very nice person, but she was hardly a saint. "There is a difference, if you understand basic dictionary definitions, sweetie. And on that topic, there is a difference between an insult and a simple observation. "
electriccandlelight: PB Nicki Minaj with a knowing smirk on her face. (Smirkety smirk smirk)

[personal profile] electriccandlelight 2013-02-05 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"My dear, we passed polite a long time ago," smirked Valeria. "I am being insulting right now entirely on purpose, and I'm doing it without resorting to vulgarity, may I add." Not that Valeria really cared about such language generally, admittedly.
