Back to buisness

Who| Pruna and you!
What| Pruna is back in the capitol, cheers for her favourite tributes and goes on a research mission.
Where| District 12 suites, common room, library and out and about around the city.
When| In the days following Pruna's (as of yet unwritten) death.
Notes| Standard fare, might be some language. Oh and very awkward discussions about where babies come from for anyone tagging into part 3

[District 12 suites] This time Pruna was expecting to wake up, so she wasn't confused and she didn't struggle. She just sat still and did as she was told as the checked her over and even remembered to say thank you when they let her go.

Effie would have been proud. Pruna wasn't pleased that she had died, but if her count was correct she had lasted longer than last time, it had been a stupid mistake that had killed her though. And she had only killed two people again.

Once she got back to her room she pulled on what had became her favourite dress, a simple yellow cotton one with white frills on the sleeves and orange flowers near the bottom. Then she went to the lounge, to see who was there, before heading over to Sandy's room and knocked on the door. "Sandy do you be being in there?"

[Common room] Later that day Pruna headed down to the common room, her cuff was still round her wrist but she ignored it and the stares she got. She found a seat near a TV and watched as they went through the remaining tributes.

Howard was still alive, Pruna grinned, he was doing well and even though it was stupid that she hadn't outlived him. If she wanted anyone to win it would be Howard. Well maybe Shepard too even if Pruna didn't really trust her. She was alive too, so was that man she had stolen off; annoyingly.

The woman that hurt Sandy as well, she was still alive. Pruna bared her teeth. She should have killed her too. She would kill her. She was also glad to see the Grand Highblood was still alive, and Tim. They might win too.

The man who helped her learn spears, Maximus was next on the list of those still alive and he had killed a few people, and apparently dating the man who had showed her carving. At least Pruna thought that was what the television was saying, and she watched the footage for tips, if she was to make everyone believe she was dating Sandy.

[Library and around town] The library was always a good place to start when you needed to know things. Sandy and Pruna had come a few times before this arena but today Pruna came alone. She smiled at the librarian, who was always nice to her despite her cuff. "I do be needing to be knowing where children do be coming from."

At the woman's blush and flustering Pruna frowned, not understanding. Maybe the librarian didn't know either.

"I did be thinking about it. And sometimes people do be being married and then they do be getting kids. But sometimes they do no be married and do still be getting kids. And then there do be being the kids like me who do no be having parents at all. So I did be thinking maybe parents do no actually be having anything to do with it. Because there do be being people who do be being married and no be having children and I did then be thinking it did be magic. But there do no be any magic here and still kids."

At that the librarian just looked shocked and disappeared, a moment later bringing back a book and telling her that the answer was in there. Pruna nodded and took the book out, going to sit on the edge of a fountain in the city and read it. It was a baby book, at least it seemed so to Pruna. Colourful pictures and not much writing at all, she did sometimes get the feeling the librarian thought she was stupid.

It showed a man and a woman smiling, and said that when they wanted children there was an egg, and a seed and it made a baby. There were some pictures of the baby turning from a dot to a baby and then the couple smiling with the baby in their arms. The woman also seemed to get very big and there was something called a hospital involved. Pruna sighed.

"This do be being stupid." She picked up the book and wandered a bit, seeing a woman with a pram and a second child walking beside her she followed stalking them for a while, as if this would solve her mystery.

It just opened more though, she had seen parents with their children in markets in Gauig before, but had never really paid attention. Hadn't thought them important. But she wrinkled her nose as she watched the mother and the children, she didn't seem angry at them, not even though the baby cried a lot.

She continued to follow them silently.

Cinna shook his head. "I should be fine," he replied. He had access to the supplies of the Capitol all of the time, after all. "I hope you enjoy being back."
