Out tonight

Who| Ian and open
What| Partying. And by partying we mean coming down off his two week binge of trying to forget the arena
Where| Bars, clubs, the streets of Panem
When| Current, at night/early morning
Warnings/Notes| Underage? drinking (not sure on the drinking age of Panem), drugs, breakdowns

He had told himself he was fine. He had died, woke up, got a shower and went out. Breezy pausing only to check the death toll. Blaine and Kurt had survived, they must have escaped. Well at least his dead hadn't been completely in vain. His escort had even congratulated him for fighting back, like they had expected him to just lie down and die. He had smiled and headed to a bar. He had just died, he figured he deserved a drink.

One drink had led to another, and one club had led to another, he had veered off from the main clubs by the tribute tower and had found a few ones that played decent music. Nothing he knew of course, but heavy and angry, matching his mood.

That had been two weeks ago, he had slept at times. Either back in the tower or wherever he found himself. Not always alone. Being alone was painful, as was being sober or not being high. He had all the money he wanted and so he spent it on forgetting.

Somewhere deep down he knew he was acting like Frank and it sickened him, a burning hatred that reared up whenever he was sober enough to think. Though he had always drank, and smoked shit it was never serious, just mucking about with Mandy or Lip. He had wanted to be an Officer, or if he couldn't be, his GPA was not the best, join the army and work his way up. It had kept him focused, kept him training, kept him out of the worst of trouble.

He didn't have that anymore, or more he had it in a twisted nightmare form. An eternal soldier, unable to die, not fighting for any cause just for entertainment. Killed and revived on the sick whims of a crazy futuristic society. It wasn't going to change, and they weren't going to escape, shit like that didn't happen. The Capitol had no reason to change, this worked for them. So what was the fucking point of trying anymore? So he had stopped trying, stopped thinking and everything had become so much easier.

Tonight was a night like the nights before, he moved from club to club, going with the crowds. Not knowing where he was, not caring. Escaping from his own head, because everything was shit and finding a way to make it not shit would involve far too much thinking.

Mindy shrugged, then made a face as there was another roar from a nearby party, apparently enjoying whatever grand spectacle before them.

"I'm all for making scarce if you are."

"Damn right I will."

Mindy takes his hand, moving out of the way when needed, kicking a few when it got too annoying.

"What's your district anyway?"

"Oh. The same one as Guy." She did tend to look into him from time to time. "I'm in District 9. Know anyone from there?"

"So you haven't met Eva or that Glinda yet? Damn. I was hoping I could get a bead on what the two of them are like. Stil haven't met them yet."

"Shit," Mindy mumbled. "Guess I have to try to be sociable again and find them, probably. how long did it take you to meet all the tributes in your District?"

"Great, you're as bad as me," Mindy said, chuckling. "Then again, we just met, and you were partying it up all drunk style, so I guess that's a step in the right direction...or A direction anyway."

"You do what you can," Mindy said. "It can't be easy. I mean, if you think about it, they only win when you never bother to fight it in your mind."
hit_girl_mindy: (Half in and out)

"Yeah, because otherwise we turn into exactly what they want. They probably relish the day we break, when we finally accept the games are the only life we have, and everything else is secondary. They want you to crave it because the more you do, the better show you give. It's sick in a way."

"Yeah," Mindy said, although she didn't repeat the affirmation. She knew all too well that a Macready's breaking point was only death.

"The fucked up thing is, a part of me does want to win. I'm not into the whole killing people for enjoyment, but the whole thrill of my heart beating, knowing danger is coming, there's something about conquering that fear with every step you take. That make any sense?"
hit_girl_mindy: (Wtf? (Mindy))

"I don't think I could not be me even if I tried," Mindy said, shrugging. "This is the kinda stuff I think I'm married to. I was supposed to live a normal life on my word, after I finished what I had to do, but I was brought here. The more I think about it, the more I wonder what the hell I would even be doing with that."

"Uh, civilian then, I guess," Mindy said sheepishly. "But its like I said: I don't know what I'd even do with it. I'm not used to a peaceful life."

"Maybe." She thought of her dad, and an unwanted lumped came at her throat. "But, you know. See a civilian life, you want something else, right?"
