My life on the DC list.

Who: Harley Quinn and you
What: Creative fundraising
Where: Just outside Tribute Tower
When: April 10th
Warnings: None yet but it's Harley so be on your guard for flirting and violence. Also mentions of prostitution.

For every fancy party and corporate sponsorship that provides funds for tributes there has to be an amount of give and take. And for awhile Harley was more then willing to give so long as she had a much more significant amount of take.

But her brash and outgoing nature could be exhausting, especially to the frilly white gloved Capitol upper crust. What had been quaint and charming was now rude and annoying. It had gotten so some of her most loyal pay for play sponsors who had been all too eager to kiss and tell weren't even answering her calls anymore.

And so Harley decided a grass roots campaign was her best option. Sitting in a deck chair outside of the Tribute tower she was in shorts and a loose tank top with her logo on it, three red diamonds.

Sitting in front of her was a simple wooden booth like a child might sell lemonade from and indeed there was a pitcher of lemonade and a plastic cups. Next to the booth was a cooler and hanging from the front was a sign advertising:

"Kissing booth & other stuff
  Kiss on the cheek  1As
  *Kiss on the lips 3 As
  *Tongue 5As
  **Get punched by a Mentor 1As
  Punch a mentor 5As
  Cup of lemonade 1As
  Ice 1As
  Otter pops 1As (Not made with any actual Otter)
  Glitter bomb  2As
  Autograph 2As
  Photo 5As
  Slice of pie 1As
  Whole pie 3As  
  Get hit with a pie 3As 
Other requests can be discussed.
* Not for anyone under 18
** Not for anyone under 16
"
 
 

It was hardly the most elegant solution but it was a start at least. And it gave Harley an excuse to sit outside in the nice weather and eat Otter pops out of a cooler.

He strolls on up with a crooked grin on his face, hands tucked into his pockets. He's not sure why he never got his hang on more with an indigo sister true. Beyond wanting not to get carried away be disappointing all everyone else, maybe he was just too tired.

He's certainly worn now. Another arena, another friend lost. Another damn piece. Which means he should be avoiding anything what's got diamonds up over it. Turns out, approaching ain't something to be regretted. He reads the sign and can't help on laughing.

"What's being this? AIN'T NO MEANS ON PAYING TO BE SMACKED UP WITH MOTHERFUCKING BOTTLES GLASSMADE? Would've thought for sure..."

Psii cautiously circled before approaching the booth. Anything out of the ordinary around here usually meant impending doom. At least he recognized the person running it. The diamonds on Harley's shirt were at odds with their red color, meaning that they probably weren't a reference to troll symbols of romance. Still, Psii had to pause for a moment and recalibrate, wrenching his eyes from his District Mentor's boobs to the sign in hopes for a better explanation of her activities.

Kissing booth & other stuff

He felt he was not nearly smooth enough to ask for a kiss, even in jest. And, in true troll fashion, he felt the same way about the punches. Let some other Troll Casanova handle that.

"....I don't even technically have money for lemonade," he finally concluded. He could always use his financial irresponsibility card and go (further) into debt, yet he was hesitant to be beholden to anyone, least of all the Capitol. "But I gueth I can athk how you were even allowed to thet up here."

He could understand a Capitolite setting up a food cart or something, but a Mentor or Tribute? Psii was still used to the idea that as glorified slaves, their rights were stripped, and their entire lives were policed and prohibited.

Stretch. There's a new one. He likes that one, tucks it away with all them others like Izzy, Frayza, and all motherfucking whatnot.

He makes a face like he's all sorts of touched, folding both hands over his chest. He grins.

"HOW TRULY MOTHERFUCKING GRATEFUL AM I TO HAVE BEEN ONE TO RECEIVE MOST BLESSED BASHINGS GRATUITOUS. The envy of undented individuals all the fuck around shall I be," He says. "SUPPOSING YOU'VE BEEN ON FAIR AND WELL THE FUCK ENOUGH?"

He peers at the Otter Pops as she pulls them out. Always new things what as to see and learn on of. Here's some new confectionery and upon it a reference as to some human joke he's got no knowing for, but can recognize as being a thing. She holds them up to him he grins, pointing a finger on at the purple. Of course he'd pick the purple.

That grin grows wider when she tosses it to him free of charge. Girl's going to miss out on her funds, but he supposes as he can't stop as how the pusher wills. In contrast to her, just as he's sure she'd expected he rips his own open quite cleanly after following her example.

"Hah, well, you know as how they're saying with odds and all." But of course that's just a little bit hoofbeastshit. "ACTUALLY BEEN TRYING TO GO CLEAN, ME. All motherfucking cull-colored my ass used to be. AT FIRST I STUCK BY JUST CAUSE I DIDN'T ALL WANT ON GETTING BORED. Then shit happened, changed. FRESH PLACES, FRESH STARTS, ALL THAT NOISE, YOU FEEL ME?" Not that he's forgotten how to take nugbones right from them shoulder bits as was his enemies and turn flags of them.

Again he watches her example, bringing the colored ice on up to take bites out of. He lifts it in a sort of cheers and thanks to her.
carnagecarnival: (We could keep out the sadness.)

Grape ice syrup is curiously similar to that of grape soda syrups. Which is to say, incredibly sugary and wholly artificial. His favorite.

"That a thing you humans do? JUST GET ON SPILLING SWEET AND SHINE FOR THE SPENDING? Not even for no thing or other reasoningwise?" He looks curious, wondering if such idyllic sounding things could truly up and be.

He shoots her a look sympathetic. He was coming up on his first sweep-- two years, real fast. He got missing people, losing them. Maybe not so much as her, but still.

"SEEMS YOU AIN'T DONE ON TOO BAD, SISTER. Least not from where at I'm standing," He tells her.

Just to be nice. To wrigglers. Or give reward as for not being urchins on toward the whole of motherfucking society and its many motherfucking elders.

He has to look on in amused disbelief. Humans and their strange ass customs.

"UPON ALTERNIA, BEING NICE ONTO WRIGGLERS WAS THE SPARING OF THEM ALONE. That and making tell as only to be taking off one limb over the two," He laughs. "THINKING AT I WANT SOME OF THIS MORE."

He lifts a brow at her then. "Princess? ANOTHER ONE? Fuck, seems as we get a lot of them here." He stares upwards, musing, then says, "NEED MORE CLOWNS IS WHAT."

"That'th what you're raithing money for? I didn't know Mentorth did that. I thought they jutht.... mentored."

He surreptitiously glanced around, making sure he wasn't scaring any of her customers away.

"What I want or need at the moment are thingth no one can give me." Freedom, for example. "But I gueth if I had to make a requetht for the arena, I'd thay thend me thingth that can't be crafted, like firtht-aid kitth. Don't bother with food, I can uthually get my own."

He was no Disciple, but he was learning fast how to hunt more effectively. He had some practice back home, and in the last arena.

Can only push so far before they stop being a kid. Humans, speaking like that ain't being a good thing. But such as came of aliens. He won't scoff it now. Especially not when all it's getting him more all of these motherfucking "otter" pops. He's never seen beasts colorful as like these otters.

He notes that longing sigh. His brows are going up when at she says what she does. Was things like this as threw him always. It sounds a textbook kismesis most motherfucking romantic. Except for where she says at she loves him. A vacillating mess is what at it sounds like.

"S'a shame your kind ain't go on about auspisticizing. SOUNDS AS YOU AND THIS CLOWNING BROTHER COULD BE AT TO USING IT. All make dealing on that red-pitch vacillating for the settling," He says. Then he shrugs. "BUT THAT AIN'T MY BUSINESS NONE MUCH. Figure that's probably being why such a motherfucker ain't gone kicking it about hereways. S'WHY THEY GOT ME IN WHILE I WAS YOUNG, NOT ALL THOUSAND SWEEPS DONE."

Well if she's going all to sit like that, he figures she won't mind him leaning right up against the stand himself. She doesn't seem disturbed. Unlike with many, he doens't feel any qualm in telling.

He shrugs his shoulders to make lesser deal of it though. "Both motherfucking things?" He answers sort of helplessly. He sighs. "FROM THE PAST, ME. Everyone else gets being of the future. EVEN BEST FRIENDS WHAT WAS MINE. Capitol didn't need on gettin' accurate, but I'm thinking like they did for what fits. LEAST OF ME."

He throws a grin despite himself. "It's chill though. AIN'T GONNA BE A FUTURE MINE IF I CAN HELP IT. What about you? YOU SET FOR HERE OR ONWARDS?"

He mimics the action of curling the wrapper, always trying to learn off these human motherfuckers how best to do it all. From foods to greetings and all the more.

"Shockingly, naw. AIN'T GONE FUCKED UP IN THAT MOTHERFUCKING DEPARTMENT ON YET. Mostly just screw on up in spite of it all. BUT FUCK YEAH, I GET WANTING TAKING IT BACK."

It's interesting to learn of a sister. Certainly braodens what viewing he's got. Starts to make a clearer picture for him. And, strangely, sometimes it's nice knowing he's not the only with baggage and regrets.

"Well shit, sister, what can I even up and do? WHAT CAN ANY MOTHERFUCKER EVEN UP AND DO? All but getting a root on for you, yo. I GOT MY FAITH. You'll kick that shit right proper down the stairs of getting it done."

She gets right on to his weakness. His got an embarrassed grin upon his face and an indigo flush up under his paint. He hides his eyes with a hand even as he laughs.

"NAW, SISTER," He says back in turn. "Don't let the paint get on a fool. I AIN'T YOUR TYPE." Human and troll first the fuck off. All that madness what came of business with Shepard and their parting for second.

"Got girl of my own all anyways. SWEETEST SISTER IS SHE. But all true and truthfulness, support's being all a sorts free for Carnival family," He promises.

He grins all sheepish then, smiling down at the ground. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. Got me on at for being there. I'LL KEEP MY TRAP SHUT ON SUCH NOISE."

He gets an idea then. "Hey, let me pay back some ways on later, what with my credit. OUGHT TO GET MY GIRL ONE OF THEM RED ONES. And my own as a good old fashioned glitter bombing."
carnagecarnival: (I breathe in life.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2015-05-23 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"SURE THING, WICKED SISTER." That wicked grin could mean a whole lot of things but he finds he's not afraid. She's a sister of the Carnival, even if not truly so. He knows what games get played.

"Afraid I ain't in for the annoying by glitter this time though. THIS IS ALL BEING FOR ME, TO GET MY PRAYER ON RIGHTEOUS. Throwing the stardust is how all we do, but's it's being close as I can get on with glitter, yo. HIT ME."
carnagecarnival: (I'll be a temperamental element.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2015-05-26 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
He's thankful he's damn fast and smart enough not to leave his mouth gaping open or some stupid thing or other as the split-second action goes down. Sister is a practised glitter bomber. Like dynamite, and that's the colors what get burst over him, fire and ash.

Once the Initial moment has past, he swirls a bit so the dust falls over the whole of him. Then he grins back up at her. His hand go together, palms flat like in prayer, and he bows to her. Thankful is he. Messiahs would be pleased.

"Miracles," He laughs as he rises on up.

He rolled his eyes and briefly stuck out his tongue at her for making fun of his lisp. Just another day in the life of the Ψiioniic.

Dates. Psii was no stranger to being obligated to pail, and he had been surprised he and the other Tributes weren't required to give their genetic material here. He did the math: It was worse than the requirement for adult trolls to have their quadrants filled. Harley was partly responsible for more than four lives, but she went into it knowing that only one Tribute, at best, would make it out of the arena alive. It was a losing battle no matter how he looked at it, and hardly worth the price. Psii couldn't speak for his districtmates, but he didn't want anyone sticking out their neck for him.

"Thankth for doing all that for uth. You didn't have to. Forget the kitth, I don't need anything. Trollth are uthed to dying untimely deathth in fightth, not thtarving or getting thick like a chump."

If he didn't know her, he'd bat her away. He valued his personal space when he'd grown up among trolls who were just as likely to take his hand off as shake it. As it was, he cautiously let her put her warm human hands on his cooler, rougher skin and let her say her piece.

His face was not as cool as it could be, as yellow began to flush the gray of his cheeks. Her supportive touch was getting too close to one of the platonic romances of trolls, and he was finicky about that quadrant to begin with. Casual sex came easier than talking about his feelings. He gently peeled her hands off and brought them together in front of him.

"I've already been through all that back home, tho no need to protect my innothenthe or any bullshit like that.... But thankth. I'm pretty thet on not dying. The deathth are real, and there'th alwayth a chanthe I might not come back."

"Dethert dethhert? Wow, that'th the lametht joke ever."

That was all he could do, jadedly rate the Gamemakers' creativity when it came to killing them. It was the same on Alternia, where killing was sometimes relegated to high art.

"No, I never met The Turtle." He took it for a nickname, like a troll's title. Something official, but not a hatchname. "Take my word for it, I have vithionth that alwayth come true. They returned with my powerth in the thpathe arena. The deathth are real."

He rolled his eyes at her "subtlety." Then he grew serious, gazing far off into memory.

"I thaw my own death, along with everyone elthe killed in the exthplothion. That'th how I knew what the bunker looked like. I dethcribed it to SS, and he thaid he knew where it wath. He wath my only friend; I made thure he got in and thurvived."

It had been frightening, not knowing if he was going to see his friend again, but he knew he had to sacrifice himself so Signless could live. That was how he'd operated on Alternia as well, whether Signless knew or not. He had a gift with people and the power to galvanize them into action. Panem had done its best to bring Signless down, and Psii had to remind him of the ideals he stood for.

"You can pat me on the back ath long ath you don't thtab me in it," he quipped with the smirk and swiftness that came with quoting a common phrase. With trolls, it was half serious and mostly literal.

"That'th why I don't like my vithionth. They're alwayth right, and they're alwayth about doom." His mood darkened again. "It'th not thpethial or noble, jutht a pain in the ath theeing all my friendth dying. I can't help picking out their voitheth. It'th even more of a pain when I tell them they're going to die and they don't believe me."

"Well, it'th.... not like I want to get rid of them exthactly. Telekinethith ith pretty damn utheful, ethpethially when I can't reach the remote."

The ghost of a smile flitted across his face, then was gone as quickly as it appeared.

"It'th a double-edged thtabbing implement. The vithionth warn me of impending doom tho I can prepare anyone who might lithten. If a friend benefitth from my forethight, then it'th worth it. Doethn't happen often, though. Motht of the time, people don't lithten to me."

Psii would like to meet with this Cassandra. Two of a kind. Too bad people put more stock in armored sociopaths instead of real clairvoyants.

Harley surprised him with a curve ball, one that contained offers of comfort. In some ways he was still very much fresh-off-the-ship. He wasn't used to kindness in Alternian culture. Only the strong were fit to survive. His first instinct was to brush it off, tell her not to worry, he'd dealt with this since before he could comprehend what his visions were....

"Thankth for that. I'm not uthed to thith many people looking out for me."

Admitting that he needed looking out for was embarrassing.

"I'll thee you around," he added hurriedly.
