Who | Donatello and OPEN
What | Don has returned to the Capitol, and he's learned that Lottie is gone. Abandon hope all ye who enter.
Where | Throughout Tribute Tower, but starting in Lottie's room.
When | Last week of Arena 7
Warnings/Notes | Donatello is currently still full-tilt mad. Just as a warning.

She was gone. Gone. They didn't clone her.

Don simply sat on her bed, staring at the wall, thinking about those times they had together. How he'd vowed he would get her out of the Arena, protect her. And now, she was gone. All of them were. Even Momoko, a girl he barely knew but did his best to help. Even Valeria. Perhaps they could have been friends, that spiking incident notwithstanding.

There really was nothing left. Nothing holding him back. No reason to. He was alone, now, just him and his opponents. That's all they would ever be, now. Ever could be. Just as he could only be their opponent. That was the nature of these new Hunger Games. A ruminant of humanity, they ate everyone alive, and then spit them back out, regurgitating them, so they might be eaten again. Until they were just perfect.

Until they were Victors, or what the Capitol wanted them to be. Entertaining killers, with no ties to their families, their friends, their previous memories and existence which, for all of them, were little more than fabricated downloaded lies.

Well. He wasn't a Victor yet. Which meant he only had one option come the next Arena.

After all, who said he had to let the virus overtake him in order to be a monster?

"What's up green genes?"

Harley had heard that Donnie was back and after a moment of revenge fueled frustration she decided that she could forgive him...maybe.

So she stalked him till she had decided the time was right and greeted him with a cheer and a grin.

This could only end well.

He wasn't the only person mourning her. Some's room was across the hall, and when he heard movement in there, he rushed over only to be drawn up short and bereft when it wasn't her.

"... Don."

When Don finally ventures to the common area of the Tribute Tower, he'll find Othar Trygvassen (Gentleman Victor) lounging on a couch, reading a thin novel. "Donatello!" he booms as soon as he catches sight of the ninja turtle. "I've been meaning to talk to you, my friend! Did you get my tribute gift?"

Othar nods cheerfully. "I'm glad it did. I really did mean what I said in my note. It's a wonderful moment when you truly understand your place in the world and the Games."

He might bring this turtle in on the Mission. After all Donatello had further arenas for him to bring his gift of death to.

"Brr." She held her arms around her and gave an exaggerated tremble. "It is CHILLY in here. You better be careful with that cold blood of yours."

She laughed at her little joke and moved closer showing either a lack of fear or a lack of self preservation.

"I should be the one being nasty to you since you cut me to the quick."

He hovered at the door, one forefoot gripping the frame. "I- Oh, no, I am not.

"Rapunzel hasn't come back either."

It was the chill in Don's voice that kept Some from coming closer. He leaned against the doorjam, tail held low.

"Wh-when they didn't bring back Ele... I thought, maybe, that being weaker was a little bit... a little safer. That the people wanted me here... and Rapunzel, and Lottie. They weren't weak, but they were not- not warriors. Not hard like that. I started to think they valued that here."
