Had you from the beginning

[rediscover]

Who| Anna and all y'all
What| Exploring the Capitol and probably getting into trouble.
Where| The tower and various locations around the capitol.
When| 7/2-7/4
Warnings/Notes| Nah.



one. the tower

The first thing Anna does is conduct a thorough survey of her new digs. All the electronics are frightening, but she's learned to use the panels in the walls well enough to survive, and she can turn things on and off, which is exciting. But she wants to see everything, so she can be found wending her way through various common areas and hallways, peeping into the training center and attempting to use a sword before learning that she can barely lift a sword, let alone wield one. Okay, so maybe it's not her forte, but if she's lucky someone can show her a better way to defend herself.

two. pier twelve

The spirited princess is drawn to the amusement park, and as soon as she catches word of it, she has to go out and see it for herself. She spends almost a whole day riding the fantastic rides she finds there; the Ferris wheel in particular is enthralling, because from the top of it she can see the whole Capitol. So of course, Anna rides it over and over, peering breathlessly over the edge of her gondola. It's clear to see that she's never seen anything like any of this before, and she's eager to babble about it to anyone who crosses her path.

three. the streets

Anna's seen amusement parks and restaurants and a lot of other fantastic things, but after awhile she finds she just wants to wander the streets of the Capitol, fascinated by the strange buildings and the even stranger inhabitants of this new place. People wear the most interesting things, she finds, things she could never picture herself wearing in a million years. She doesn't exactly watch where she's going, very well; more than one busy Capitolite loses her fancy coffee because Anna's more interested in looking around than at where she's going. But she's chipper, apologizing to whomever it is she's bumped into and perhaps even asking them a question or two about her surroundings. She doesn't have to like being here, but she does have to adapt.

"N-no please! No more you've cleanedme out!"

One of the attendants running a test of strength game was standing between a bouncy blond woman in scandalously short shorts and a tank top that proclaimed "District 9 does it in the field."

The girl had an oversized rubber mallet in hand and a shopping cart piled high with plush toys but it looked like she had her eye on the last shelf of toy dolls the man had.

"Come on chump I paid already. Lemme take a swing." She glanced around looking unimpressed, but her eyes lit up when she spotted Anna.

"Yo! Princess Freckleface!"

[rediscover]

"Huh--?" Anna whirls, because even though she's never met this person, she responds to both 'princess' and any nickname to do with freckles, on principle.

"Me?"

Who else would it be. Anna steps toward the blonde woman hesitantly--mostly because her scanty attire is sort of shocking to a sheltered princess from 1800s magical Norway.

[revvinguptheharley]

"Yes you, come on Anna give me a hand here." She held the mallet out to Anna, apparently oblivious to Anna not recognizing her.

"Alright bucko, if you won't let me play, at least let my proxy here take a swing! If she nails it? You give me the rest of those prizes. If she blows it I'll leave."

Though behind her back Anna could see she had her fingers crossed.

The gamekeeper looks unsure and looks to Anna sizing her up compared to the thicker, curvy blond.

Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately, who knows), one of those people with hot coffee Anna bumps into happens to be Joel. His coffee is not fancy - just strong and black - nor is he dressed like the natives, instead favoring jeans and a button-down shirt, looking as grouchy as ever as the coffee goes splattering across the sidewalk and down his pants.

"Goddammit, look where you're goin'," he growls in the Texan drawl that makes him stand out even among the diverse group of tributes.

[rediscover]

"Oh!" Anna is taken aback, and a little dismayed to see what she's done. Again. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I--" She blinks a couple of times at the man's rough language. Clearly not a gentleman like the kind she's used to.

"I'm sorry, I was just so distracted by all these crazy buildings!" She gives him a wide smile framed by freckled cheeks. "I'll buy you a new one! I feel awful." She bends to pick up what's left of his coffee cup, clutching it even though there's nothing left in it and the paper's gone soggy, as if that's supposed to help.

[arrogantalloy]

Tony hasn't been back in the capitol for very long since the whole outbreak craziness. However with his reappropriated sobriety for the moment, Tony felt the need to go out and get a coffee and donuts.

In fact, Tony was mid sip with his box of donuts in the other hand when something small bubble and blonde bumped into him. While Tony isn't the strongest of his 'team' he an still hold his own against a young person.

"Woah, hey."

He steps back a it and raises an eyebrow at her, planning to warn her but the wonder on her face distracts him.

"Wow, you. Look like your eyes are going to pop out there."

[rediscover]

"Oh, gods--not again!"

Anna claps her hands over her mouth, blue eyes still comically wide. "I'm sorry! Did I spill any?" She backs away, blinking and cracking a little grin at his observation.

"Haha, I know! It's just, this place is crazy! It's all so big."

The training room has also been one of the rooms Rose has found herself drawn to, though she's been hesitant to practice. It would give away a lot, and with so many other tributes she prefers to wait for the lulls in the day to do her work outs. After all she is deceptively small, and that with her age tends to have people making incorrect assumptions about her skills.

When she sees Anna however, she's drawn to the girl. It looks like she was right then, the girl didn't last it in the arena. How lucky she is that death did not seem to be a permanent state here. And so she watches the girl struggle to lift the sword, expression as unreadable as she wore in the arena.

"You'll need to build up muscles before you can do anything that isn't cutting yourself with that." Rose says before she pauses, looking over her again. "And in truth, hand to hand training will have more benefits. It's too easy to lose a weapon and if you rely on it well..." she smiles wryly, before continuing, "You're fucked, in laymans terms."

thanks for the 4 notifs u dork

[rediscover]

Anna turns, the sword drooping in her hand, and she nearly drops it at the sight of the blonde woman from the Arena.

"Oh!"

Carefully, she sets the weapon back on its stand, dusting her hands off almost sheepishly. "Geez, I know, I'm sort of...totally hopeless." She's dancing around what she really wants to say, though, coming towards Rose curiously. The opposite of what she did when they first met.

"It's, um--nice to meet you, again. Thanks for your advice, back there." Not that it did her much good, in the end; her death had been a mercy killing, but no less painful for that fact.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy had to laugh, seeing the familiar face. She'd been sure that Anna had been done with, but here she was...trying to pick up a sword for some reason. She was definitely not apt for that, and she paused, putting down her own weapon.

"Are you SURE you want to start with a sword?"

[rediscover]

Anna whirled, the weight of the sword throwing her slightly off-balance.

"Not...particularly," she admits, and there's no spark of recognition in her eyes when she sees Mindy. "It was the only thing I recognized."

[capitolprivilege]

When she stumbles into the District 6 common room, Stephen is in his usual place, seated comfortably in a chair wearing one of his glittery suits, tapping away at a tablet. When she comes in, he looks up -- and his face lights up.

"Anna!" he says, getting to his feet. "It's so good to see you again -- I was so worried you wouldn't make it." He walks over to her, clearly curious. "Do you remember me?"

[rediscover]

Anna blinks, straightening up from where she'd been peering through the doorway.

"Um," she begins, and having people recognize her by name is something she's still not quite used to. "No, I'm sorry!" The princess scuffs her toe almost sheepishly. "I bet you met me the last time I was here, huh."

2 I hope this is okay?

[biomechatronic]

Dennett isn't much for amusement parks. He's still partly in the 'what the hell is going on here' phase. He's an old man: his brain doesn't adapt to new things as easily.

He doesn't ride any of the rides--does he look like the type? But he somehow got forced--the crowd pushing him along--and he somehow finds himself in one of the Ferris wheel gondolas, next to another person. He flashes her a tense smile, trying to hide the way his hands grip the bar, and the little "Eep," as the ride begins, the gondola lurching into movement.

Someone's not good with heights.

Of course!

[rediscover]

Anna grins across the gondola at the older man she's sharing it with.

"Isn't this great? I've never seen anything like it in my life!" She's obviously very enthusiastic about the Ferris wheel. "Don't tell anyone, but this is my sixth time riding it."

She clearly hasn't noticed how uncomfortable he is.

[At this point, Anna might not recognise Hans at all. He's not dressed in his normal, princely clothing. After a few months here, he's started to adapt to the tastes, though he doesn't get so outlandish as most Capitol people unless he's attending a function. He's wearing something more casual and he's quite comfortable with himself.

He's lounged in an arm chair in the main common room with what looks like the Capitol equivalent of a kindle in his hands. He seems to know his way about it with how well he's managing it, he's so entranced by what he's reading he's barely heard her enter the commons. By the time he looks up to see her, she's too close for him to sneak away, it would be too suspicious for him to even try. He dreads speaking to her again to his very core, but he grits his teeth and stands, placing his electronic on the chair he was sitting in.]

Anna..? You're back already?

[rediscover]

Anna's nosing around the common room slowly, clearly taking her time in taking it all in. At first she dismisses Hans due to his clothing; unfamiliar, even though something about the man sitting there keeps nagging at her even as her gaze wanders.

But when he stands, and addresses her, his identity is unmistakable. Unavoidable. The princess gasps sharply.

"Hans!" She looks absolutely stricken; the last time she'd seen him, he'd been taken away by two burly guards, boarding a ship destined for the Southern Isles. "I'm--" She's at a loss for words, here, obviously, but it's obvious by the way she backs away from him that she's very much not okay with his presence here.

a hidden 4th prompt- the thing we discussed

[sithcretapprentice]

He's unaware of Anna's arrival in the Capitol. For all he knows, she's gone and never coming back and that suits him just fine. Ever since the first arena where she was partly responsible for his one and only ally dying, he's resented her. He finds her weak and a hazard to anyone around her.

Basically, he has nothing nice to say- and he can't say anything.

Starkiller isn't expecting to see her, when he's called to one of the rooms to clean. When he gets there, he's confused when no one is in the room, so he goes to check the bathroom in case they're in there, for some reason. When he gets there, he freezes completely.

Oh hell no.

[rediscover]

Anna's neatly out of sight in the walk-in-closet to her suite when the Avox arrives to clean. When she emerges, dressed in one of the more daring (to her, anyway) dresses she's been given to wear, she can hear someone moving about in her suite.

"Um, hello?" She's a bit embarrassed about the situation in the bathroom, and ushers toward the door to explain. "I'm sorry about the mess in there, I should learn not to eat chocolate and do my hair at the same time."

It just so happens that one of the people that Anna bumps into is Eponine. Eponine's over the worst of her TB now: she's just gaunt, which makes her look taller, and grey about the skin.

When Anna bumps into her, Eponine's hands immediately go to her pockets, feeling quickly for the coins in there. It's an old trick, bumping into people and picking their pockets, and one Eponine knows so well, has used so often.And now - used against her.

"HEY!" She calls out after Anna. "Hey, come back here, if you please. I shall chase you if you don't."

[rediscover]

Anna spins around, the perfect picture of wide-eyed innocence. She'd said "excuse me" when she'd bumped into the other girl, but she wasn't expecting to be called out on her clumsiness.

"Oh, no, you don't need to do that!" She's quick to reassure the stranger. "I'm so sorry for bumping into you!"

2! I hope I'm not too late.

[arrhenphobia]

Mariko loved how the Capitol looked, everything was so bright and colorful and so flamboyant. She loved the fashion and designs, even though some of them were weird and some choices ridiculously over the top (who would want to dye their skin bright orange?!). But still, with everything being so bizarre and overwhelmingly new, Mariko couldn't stop feeling uneasy and anxious all the time. In order to feel secure again she needed to find something that would resemble her own world.

So Mariko decided to look that 'something' from the amusement park (even though she was not big fan of those places).

At the amusement park Mariko noticed almost immediately a young redheaded girl, running from a ride to ride enthusiastically. That sight alone made Mariko smile a little. She must be new to this place too. Mariko thought to herself and silently followed the other girl for a while. She watched as the girl rode the ferris wheel at least twice without getting bored by it-- almost as if she had never been in one before! How strange.

After about ten minutes Mariko noticed two young men talking to each other and pointing at the redhead. That was the moment when she decided to make her move. She wouldn't let those men get to this new girl first! She dashed towards the other girl to grab her wrist.

"Hey! Come quickly! You need to try this one too!" She shouted cheerfully and tried to pull her towards the near (water) roller coaster without paying much attention to it.

Not at all!

[rediscover]

Anna's completely oblivious to anyone watching her, let alone any men. If she'd noticed, she'd likely have been far too naive to be suspicious, past experience notwithstanding. But she's torn between two rides when suddenly someone is grabbing her wrist and pulling her away.

"Oh!" Anna yelps. "Um, alright." She lets herself be pulled, a wide grin formed as she sees where they're headed. "Wow, this looks amazing!"

1!

[polyturtle]

...Hm.

Normally, Don wouldn't have interfered, instead tending to his own devices, practicing with the bow and arrow as he had been. However, he had promised Shepard he'd help train Elsa. And considering Anna was Elsa's sister, he figured he might as well extend the offer to her as well. If it had been his brothers, he knew they'd want him to be prepared to defend themselves, and vice versa.

"Ah..." Thus, a helpful shadow suddenly appeared behind her. "That kind of sword wouldn't suit you. Not without a lot of upper arm strength."

[rediscover]

Anna looks over her shoulder sheepishly, blinking at the sight of one of her Arena acquaintances. "Oh, hi!" She lifts one hand to wave, before turning and letting the weapon lean back against its stand.

"...Yeah. I need to find something a little better to work with." Truth be told, she'd been working on a bow and arrow with Mindy, but stubborn as she is, she keeps coming back to the sword. Even a shortsword is a bit too much for her to handle, though.
