Pax kissed May and Geena's foreheads before going out on his 3rd run of the day. A block away from home and his brain was racked. He used his runs to think things out, always just in case he did leave for the Arena at the next Reaping.

I have the stash under my bed of cash. I can find someone to walk them to and from school. They've been doing well, learning how to cook. But I can't leave them. I can't. Maybe someone will volunteer. This is a Career District. But no. I'd get my ass kicked if I said "no" to a chance to go into the Games. No, I have to go. And May and Geena will be OK if I do. But I'll win. I will.

Pax's eyes watered but he convinced himself it was just the wind whipping at his face as he ran. May and Geena, they were only 6, but Pax loved them more than anything and could never leave them. Their life wasn't hard, but it would be no walk in the park without him; that's why he had a stash of money for the girls, so they'd never have to take any tesserae.
Pax's run came to a halt as he tried to pull his emotions back together; he never let himself get this torn up while thinking about the Games.
Pax rounded the next to last corner, before returning home and tripped, face planting into the concrete of the street. He was shaken, but quickly realized there were no breaks in his bones and stood up. He touched his face and instantly his hand was red. "Shit." Pax murmured to himself. He ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it around the gash at his temple. "Shit, shit, shit, shit! he repeated to himself under his breath as he walked the last block to his house.

((Hope it's okay that I'm jumping in))

The only thing better, in Arcadia's mind, than a good book was a book she'd already read several times. History books never got boring, but what was getting quite monotonous were her days, endlessly spent in her house. It was true, Arcadia was somewhat of a homebody, prefurring to stay indoors and expand her literature palette rather than run around town and get all sweaty like other 'careers' her age, but one girl can only take so many days cooped up before she goes a little stir-crazy. That was why she was now curled up in the crook of her favorite tree in her front yard, a small stack of books balancing percariously nearby.

The day was warm, and the sky dotted with a few whispy clouds here and there; almost utterly perfect, until the silence was ruined by a rather loud string of profanities. Looking up from her book just in time to see the boy stumble and fall, she winced at his foul language; it wasn't like swearing really bothered her, but she rarely ever heard swears in her house, and the words grated against her eardrums. Dropping down out of the tree, she skittered across the yard as the boy passed on the sidewalk, catching up with him.

"That was some tumble," she observed, eyeing the gash on his temple. "Are you alright?"

Pax turned and saw the blonde, "Yeah. I don't pay enough attention sometimes." he simply said, checking the tied cloth and noticing it was soaked. He ripped another piece from his shirt and pulled the soaked cloth off before tying the new one. "I'm probably gonna be without a shirt if I don't get home soon." Pax noted.

it's early and i'm not thinking much.

Avielle Blaire‘’
Come on B A B Y
You know I want you to...

The sun was sinking ever closer to the horizon, its burning descent leaving the sky a pale orange shade and making the temperature drop subtly. Sitting in the front yard of an empty house, Avielle waited out the remainder of the day in relative peace. Her parents were gone for their monthly trip to the Capitol and wouldn’t be back for another week, leaving the seventeen year old girl to do whatever she wished. With a contented sigh, Avielle angled her pale face toward the sky and smiled as she soaked up some of the last rays of sunlight before the glowing orb was blocked out by a group of trees in the distance.

The silence was suddenly interrupted by the rhythmic pounding of feet on asphalt and Avielle’s multicolored eyes snapped open, searching for the source of the sound. She soon spotted a boy across the street, his face almost as red as his hair and his expression stressed. As she watched, the red haired boy tripped and fell, his head hitting hard upon the cement and creating a rather nasty looking gash upon his forehead. Faint concern filled Avielle’s mind as the blood began to trickle in crimson rivulets down the boy’s scarlet face; but concern swiftly turned to annoyance as a small blonde girl skittered across the street to talk to the bleeding boy…. The boy that Avielle had already mentally claimed as her own.

Challenge accepted, you little b*tch. Standing, the spindly teen began to half-walk half-jog to where the two were standing, a look of amused concern plastered upon her face. As she approached them, she pulled her red flannel off and offered it to the boy. “I know its not very thick and not exactly a bandage, but it will help staunch the bleeding until you get home.” She gave a kind smile and shrugged her thin shoulders “Oh, and um…. Hi. I’m Avielle… Where do you live? I want to make sure you get home okay and don’t pass out or anything.” Laughing lightly, Avielle took a step closer to the teen and held out her flannel, successfully ignoring the tiny blonde.

We all know, We all know by know…
That I’m the only thing you talk about.

OOC-
Sorry that Avielle is such a bish... Its kind of her job to be a total jerk sometimes.

Pax smiled at the new girl, Avielle. The first thing he noticed were her eyes, nearly haunting because of the difference between them. He took the flannel, "Thanks. I'm Pax. I, uhm, live just up the street." he said as he tied the flannel over the new piece of his t-shirt, already soaked. "And I really should get going before I do pass out. It was, uh, nice meeting you...I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name." Pax said to the blonde.
