Catherine Burns.

(OOC it's fine)

Her life is ruined. That's why she's cutting herself. I can't help but think this isn't a very good solution, but she is really distraut and searching for a way out. I think I might try to help. After all, I've already gotten myself into this, and I can't really say 'you're right, your life sucks. Bye!' It's just that I don't know what to say. If I could write a note, if I could have a prepared speech, I might be able to say something deep and profound, but I just am inable to form words on the spot. So I just sit there. Contemplating my response as the seconds tick painfully, awkwardly by.

Finally my tongue finds a mind of it's own, tired of waiting for my mind to tell it what to do. "Well, there's no time like the present. You know? Everyone has they're regrets--" I trail off, unsure of myself. Awkward and sheepish, I contemplate running away.

alska kifes jonas || District 5 ~

This is her when she is living--e3a1d2.
This is her thoughts-- 88e66b.
This is her talking-- 33d4d7.
And this is her conscience-- f2e717.

Alska stops tearing up and wipes away the liquid off her cheeks. She looks at her wrists and sees a few cuts, and now she regrets cutting herself, and going anorexic, just so she can solve a little problem. Well the anorexic part is part of the reason she cuts herself, she wishes she could stop, but every time she looks in her old mirror, she wishes she was thinner. Maybe she could stop, it would help if she does it sooner than later. Then, Alska feels like Catherine is a mind reader, "Well, there's no time like the present. You know? Everyone has they're regrets--" "You're right, but I just don't know what to do with my life now.

Catherine Burns

She doesn't know what to do with her life. I hesitate. I don't know anything about this person. I know nothing about her at all. Except that she is depressed and cuts herself. I don't know what to say. I feel my heart beat harder as I realize, I'm supposed to say something, and my tongue is betraying me. "Well," I say to feel the silence. Long pause. "What do you like to do? Surely there's something you can aim for."

I'm pretty satisfied with my answer. But it seems like it's lacking something.

"Well," Catherine starts saying to Alska, and after a long pause, "What do you like to do? Surely there's something you can aim for." Alska tried thinking of things she liked to d, not play sports. She didn't particularly enjoy the hours of school. Alska liked.. puzzles. But how was that going to help? "Well, I like puzzles, like mind puzzles, riddles! Even if I don't like it, I can be smart, if I want to." Alska was slightly bragging, but she was sort of anxious for Catherine to reply.

Puzzles. I think about this for a while. Then. I decide on something. I've heard some riddles. Maybe it would get her mind off of it. "Why don't you do puzzles to distract yourself? I know I few." I suggest. Warming up to her. Still I'm a little on edge about the knife.

I cross my legs and settle in for a game of riddles. That is, if she wants to play.

"Why don't you do puzzles to distract yourself? I know I few." "Sounds good to me. What riddles do ya' know? I only know few."

For a moment I pause in thought. Calling to mind any riddles my father told me. It only takes a few moments to think of my favorite, half forgotten. I clear my throat and proceed with authority.
"this thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays kings, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down."

The answer is time. I've always had a flair for the macabre. So this one ranked my favorite.

The riddle Catherine asks Alska is hard, at first, she assumes the answer is a werewolf, something in those scary books from a long, long time ago, but decides that's not a good answer, because she doubts anything besides a machine can make stone soft enough to eat. An elephant, which is also from a long time ago might be it, but Alska knows that they can't eat a while tree. Alska looks at her watch, and it's noon, she doesn't have to go soon at all. After looking at her watch, she knows the answer, "It's time right?"

Alaska thinks for a few minutes, then absently checks her watch. "Time. It's time right?" she is good. I smile and snap my fingers melodramatically. "Yes. Now it's your turn. Tell me one.".

I like riddles ok, after all, they are puzzles for thinking out of the box. But I must confess, I've never have done a good job answering correctly the first shot. However, it seems like the right thing to do, plus, it's fun.

I patiently wait for a riddle. (OOC, if u don't know any, just type in riddles on google. There are tons of sites.

sorry it took so long to reply.)
