A neverending tunnel

WHO| Mindy, open
WHAT| Total brooding and evaluation of life choices here.
WHEN| Week 5
WHERE| Training room and the tower
WARNINGS/NOTES Mindy, so good amount of swearing, thoughts/talk of deaths



The riot should have been the easiest thing. What did Mindy want more than burning, breaking, smashing and shooting any living thing she could spy with her eyes? It should have been like putting on a second skin, and really, it would have been, had she stayed in the Capitol. She'd have finally had her chance to show the Capitol what she really thought of them and all the shit they'd put her through all this time.

Then, of course, they tortured her and right after that, threw her into the Arena. After a temporary good time with some friends, she watched each of them die, even the ones she'd sworn to protect, right down to Ellie, her bestie, and getting killed herself by some murdering cyclops bitch.

And then, back here, where Eva fucking pulls a black out on the Capitol, something Mindy could not stop but admire. The sheer bitchitude she showed, her treachery for the Capitol, only to fuck them balls deep in the ass for three hours.

But that, obviously, spelled Eva's end, and knowing Eva, she wouldn't go for some spectacle execution where they disemboweled her or gunned her down after torture. No, she'd die alone, private, and that was that.

And here she was, three hours of madness in her hands, and she....fumbled. Those memories, that self hatred dragged on her, pushed her down and she doubted herself and everything around her. She wanted to burn things and cause mayhem but for the first time in her life, she feared the pain.

Well, not entirely accurate. She didn't want anymore, not right away for fucks sake. She was still having nightmares of her torture, only now she had to deal with dead Hotaru and Chibi Usa floating around in her dream, along with Ellie falling through ice. It was only the Arena, she knew that, but that didn't stop her smothered yelling, her body taut as the pain came again, swallowing screams and breaking into closed mouth sobs she suppressed. She began to lock her room and not sleep (again). She was in her room, and honestly?

She could use the company.

_

Now numbness was replaced with anger. Chibi Usa was gone, which made her angry, but was doable. She didn't want a girl that young watching people scream and die. But Riley. She was in her district. She was a friend. She was ELLIE'S...something (girlfrined? Friend with benefits? Main girl?), and now she was dead. Again.

Shittiness. At least Ellie had closure, even if it was in the most fucked up way possible.

So Mindy's frustrations went into her obstacle course, jumping through rings, punching bags, seeing how much further she could jump. Her body was tight, screaming at her, and this, after all this time, was comforting now. She was sweaty, bruised, but all by her own hands.

She felt, at least, like herself again, concentrating on how pissed she was.

That was enough to earn Mindy a noogie from Harley while she dragged the girl back to the sofa.

"Well I guess that'll have to do. I may be an adult but I'm still childish at heart." she cackled delighted with herself like no other.
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Is this racist?)

"Well no wonder neither of us fit in." Harley giggled flopping onto the sofa and dragging Mindy with her to flatten her face with a sofa cushion.

"We're not adults and we're not kids, we're something in between. I'd say teenagers but I think we're not quite that either because we're smarter and don't have acne yet."

"Yeah no kidding!" Harley grunted grabbing another pillow and sandwhiching Mindy's head between the two cushions.

"I thought MY teenage years were rough. Eponine makes it into a greek tragedy."

"Amen sister." Harley shook her head "I tried to help her after totally humiliating her, but she never wants to listen to a thing I say. It's amazing she's lasted this long really."

Eponine had even been there longer then Harley and the toll it had taken on her was clear for all to see.
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Duh)

"Well maybe if she didn't steal Homura's cat I wouldn't have completely humiliated her so beautifully." Harley shot back still puffed up with pride.

"Maybe interesting to the masses, but I've grown bored with her." Harley countered with an elaborate and exaggerated yawn of boredom.
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Smolder pucker)

Keep dreaming~

"True." Harley agreed with a chuckle letting her head lounge back onto the sofa cushions.

"But let's be fair, I glued a clown wig to her head. Her stylist had to shave it off. She made my stoic and serious little friend cry. That cat was the only thing keeping Homura connected to the life and love she had lost and Eponine thought she could just steal it? She's lucky that I was smart enough to figure out humiliation was the only pain she would pay attention to."
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: the wind in my hair)

Desperate people?

Harley casually flicked Mindy on the nose for how riled up she was getting.

"Whatever Homura's faults are, she's my pal and I'd do the same to anyone who made you freak out like that so watch it." She warned following with "And it may have been easy, but that wasn't the point. The point is that Eponine has lived a difficult life and because of that she doesn't respond to things like being punched in the face, tortured with knives or even yelled at. None of those things bother her. What really upsets her is to be embarrassed and humiliated. After you figure that out it's easy to do, even easier for someone like me but if you just try to discipline her in more traditional ways the message won't get through to her oatmeal and she'll just keep doing whatever stupid thing she'd done."

For someone they didn't like these two spent an awful lot of time talking about her.

"You'll notice since that incident she doesn't mess with Homura and she has a healthy fear of me." Which had come in handy once or twice.

"A rare show of her nerves." Harley chuckled "Eva didn't share much with anyone, not even her favorite girl. So it stands to reason in her paranoid, self centered world that we would show up just to ruin her night instead of paying respects to our former mentor."

The funeral had been appropriately somber, but the kind of thing Eva would hate. All those people focused on her.

revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Duh)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2014-10-21 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley yawned in response and stretched out her limbs luxuriously like she was posing for a magazine. A surefire way to distract even Mindy.

"Well as much fun as hating on Eponine is look at the time. We're gonna be sleeping till noon at this rate and that's hardly good Mentoring."

Harley normally would sleep in late but in the last couple weeks she'd been waking earlier and trying harder to get her tributes to train with her.
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Nyah nyah!)

"You know you love it." Harley chuckled smugly.

"Yeah, yeah. I've heard that before. You may have been trained since birth to be some kind of ninja with a sailors mouth and a anti-hero complex. But you're also a teenager. Your insides are in a constant state of flux." She teased rolling to her feet.

"You're welcome to join me or not, but Mama's ready for some mildly disturbing dreams that could either be nightmares or my own madness." She called over her shoulder making her way to bed, hips swaying in an almost unconscious teasing fashion.
