Calm Like a Bomb

WHO| Mindy, Open
WHAT| General hope for CR interaction, basically
WHERE| I'm going to have her in the training center/tribute tower
WHEN| This week
WARNINGS| Swearing and likely dialogue of the adult situations. Mindy just rolls like that.

1. The training room was becoming her home away from home.

Which, honestly, it HAD to be. Home was where dad trained her, home was making herself ready, finding the tired, aching in her bones welcome after the drudgery of the games forcing her to be alert almost constantly. That had happened too soon after her attempt to conform to real life. Even in her "roll with it" personality demanded the switch, it still left her in a hard place, untrained for fucking wilderness and traps.

She knew better now. She'd eaten more, even allowed herself to get dolled up every so often (two random days) so she could regain a little bit of herself. It just helped her regain a foothold back to what she did best: training her body to shatter some bones. A run n the gymnasium cleared her head. A few choice weapons of the stabbing variety kept her senses sharp. A rundown on long ranged weapons told her how much more she had to go. Everything she did, she recorded on a notepad for herself.

There was no more dad here to keep tabs on her: kill or be killed. Mindy wasn't going to go into the latter category easily.

Right at the moment, she was suspended from a rope, her eyes closed. One of the exercises she had set for herself was sensing everything around her. She had lost the previous games because she blundered into a set trap. That had been reckless, and made her feel even dumber for falling for it. She'd make sure that didn't happen again. This meant sensing everything around her, disciplining her body in the case someone or something had to be detected. This, she knew, would be harder to do suspended like this.

2. It was hard to get to sleep sometimes. Between nightmares of her father and her leg getting torn up, her head was becoming a space of unpleasant imagery and that was not something she needed. She was in a faux lap of luxury suite, she didn't need her mind reminding her how desperate everything was: all of this was wrong. So she regressed back to her over sized shirt and walked out of her suite, trying to gather her thoughts.

Pruna had been in the Capitol for ages now and yet she still hadn't gotten used to sleeping all through the night. Nothing could replace a lifetime of waking after a few hours of sleep to train or work and then sleeping again for a few hours before starting her day.

The Arena's didn't help. When sleep was a good way to to get killed, she woke at every noise even in the Capitol and still snuck out of her room most nights, unable to cope with the silence and being alone.

Sometimes she snuck into Sandy's room and convinced her friend to let her sleep in there, the rest of the time she just wandered. Tonight was a night for wandering and she withdrew into the shadows as she saw a figure, afraid it was an escort who would send her back to her suites.

It wasn't though, it was the girl who she had met in the arena. Pruna smirked and watched her, wondering what she was doing.

"Yes." She grinned, not even minding that she had been spotted because she had been called Sandy's girlfriend and she liked that.

"You do be knowing Sandy?"

"Yes, well I do be training her and she do be being much stronger than she did be being." Pruna took anyone claiming Sandy in need of training to be a direct afront, and her nose wrinkled angrily.

But at the same time she was happy that Mindy was glad she was dating Sandy, it was a lot of confusing conflicting feelings all at once.

"I do be." She nodded and then wrinkled her nose again and shrugged. "I did be learning all my life, it do be being my job." She saw no need to hide it here, people didn't follow the gods and though she still didn't feel like she could be open about her beliefs she could at least admit her training, since she figured it was pretty obvious.

"I did be knowing we did no be being different, it did be being you who did be being blind even though you," she pointed, "Did be having more eyes than me." She shrugged, she had no idea what a ninja was, but she knew turtle and she knew Don. Aliens and stuff had seemed weird to her when she first arrived too.

"I do be being eleven, or maybe twelve." Her birthday might have passed already she wasn't sure.
knifewithnoname: (yeah well)

"My world do be being really hardcore." She had no idea what that meant, but it sounded like something good, and so she agreed.

She wrinkled her nose at the comments about Sandy though, "Sandy do no be being that innocent." Pruna did not see innocent as a good thing at all, babies were innocent. "She do be being brave when she do no be thinking about it. She did be killing a huge tooth, point tailed monster in the last arena."

knifewithnoname: (oh I see)

Pruna wrinkled her nose again, truth was she had probably killed less people here than at home. Alright so killing solo at home was a relatively new thing, but helping to kill, or finishing someone off was something she did on a daily basis. Here with the time between arenas she killed less and found it hard to adjust to being the person she was supposed to be in the arena.

"That can be something she can be working on. I do be helping her be learning to be killing."
knifewithnoname: (oh I see)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-12-15 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"She will no be getting killed." She pointed her finger, "You can be counting on that."

She wrinkled her nose, "Who did be getting you?"
knifewithnoname: (thinking)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-12-15 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"You should be avoiding the leg eaters." Words of wisdom from Pruna there. But she gets the casualness, it's the same tone she used when talking about her own deaths. "Did you be killing anyone?"
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-12-15 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Well you will be doing better next time." She told her, maybe. She seemed tough enough.

"I did just be killing one person this time, and he did be being just a stupid kid."

She had to get better, she had been aiming for at least three, but her eye had gotten in the way.

"I can be handling adults, I have been killing adults before." She shrugged, she didn't really see why they wouldn't throw them in together, it would be complicated if they had to do seperate arenas.
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-12-17 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe they could no be finding enough kids." She shrugged, "Or maybe they did be wanting more stronger fighters, and there do no be being many kids as strong as us."
knifewithnoname: (listening)

"She do be being my mentor." Pruna told her, wrinkling her nose. She was pretty sure they had explained this. But Mindy had been new and the arena had probably been confusing.

"She do be being from district twelve and I do be living in the twelve suites. Then me and Sandy did be going to the library and learning about her."
