a study in vastness // [cock & belles v impossibles]

If I'm being for real... what could possibly be so entertaining about watching a bunch of teenagers (most of which were done no favors with puberty) walk around aimlessly on your screens? I slept in the dirt last night!!! Which I mean, I've done that before but this time I'd had no drugs or alcohol so instead of a funny story it just looks sad. 

Anyways, I'm about to lose my damn mind from boredom when all the sudden a bunch of tiny ass devil children (not the good kind) fall from the trees and start swinging like they got rent to pay. And sure they missed me, but they got Elise. Like how rude? Anyways, time to put it out of it's damn misery and crush it like a spider.

Sleep was weird.

Especially here.

Leonora had been plagued with odd dreams her whole life, but the ones in this arena were almost too absurd to describe. Unicorns, faeries with broken wings, and girls with teeth made of pointed glass. It was only when she woke up surrounded by the dark vines and putrid smell of decay to remember that it was all very real indeed.

The morning sun shines brightly through the canopy of the blighted trees, forcing Leo to awake much earlier than she would ever like. Her bones ached from the day before and her joints felt stiff from the awkward sleeping positions over night. She forced herself to stifle a yawn as she stretched away her slumber and patted down any mats in the braided crown that sit atop her head.

"Now my hair!"

She looks at Elise and her jaw drops. What once was beautiful chestnut locks is now blue enough to match the sky.

"Well, at least it compliments your eyes!" Leonora does her best to make light of the situation, but the whole time she is holding in a giggle.

WIP WIP WIP post because kari worked all day and is EXHAUSTED. have more dialogue for fun until I finish this up tomorrow xoxo

”We should find the forest, it is the only place that has not made my stomach turn.”

"I'm surprised all the areas in here smell so distinct. I'm sure it costs the Gamemakers a fortune to add that touch,"

”It just bit me!”

"Well that's not very nice now is it? Where are your manners!"

then she stab

{   e l i s e    k r a n e    }

”These things don’t know what manners are!”

And she is right. Just as she pulls her spear back after nearly skewering one of them, the litter critters take real offence to what she has just done. One of them chomps. It chomps real hard on her forearm and a scream rips right through her lips.

”Get off me! Get off me!” Elise frantically shakes the bat/monkey hybrid that grips onto her skin with its teeth. It doesn’t budge at first, it clings on long enough to make her entire arm from her wrist to her shoulder feel numb but her pink flesh must not be too tasty as it finally lets go and goes limp on the ground. ”Oh my god! What is with my luck?”

That is quite a question, it obvious now that luck is non existent in Elise’s life but she is not the only one who is being feasted on. There is enough time for her to alert Panda about the creeping critter behind them but Elise’s lips remain sealed while only her weeping eyes do the talking. The girl is crying and she does not have the energy to help her allies.

Rave.

These things were absolute monsters. Clawing and gashing into my skin. Teeth sink into my upper thigh hard, I yelp out in pain. “Oh my god!!” I scream at the little bitch while blocking another one. “Yallre really taking this TOO serious. Like I’m literally bleeding now.” Was this gonna be a regular occurrence? What about when the other tributes start attacking me? How am I supposed to weaponize being pretty if I keep getting covered in wounds. Maybe i could pull off a sympathy flirt? Wounds weren’t pretty but they sure could make someone feel bad for me. 

I shrug off the thought of my face bleeding (seriously, if you’re gonna hit the face just do me a favor and finish the job), and attack an imp.
