what the fuck are perfect places anyway?

The crowd has mostly dispersed by the time Calliope summons the willpower to walk back past the stage. People are still milling about here and there, but it seems to mainly be friends caught up in conversation or families with small children running around playing a game of tag together. They look like nice people. She realizes this is the first time since Galaxy that she's looked at people and thought they looked nice. She was -

A young boy runs up, both his front teeth missing as he giggles and grins, low-fiving Calliope before shrieking and scampering off. "You're it!" Stunned, she laughs a single beat of disbelief as all of the other children glance at her and immediately turn heel to run in the opposite direction. That's more like it.[/] Without thinking twice, she's yanking her shoes off and taking off barefoot into the grass after them. Sprinting past a chubby girl who's too awkward at running to ever catch anyone, she tags a scrappy looking boy on the shoulder instead.

Whirling around, she lets the warmth of the sun sink into her skin, along with the memories of playing like this with her brothers when they were kids. Catching the eye of another girl grown too tall for any of this she simply shrugs, "It's fun." When was the last time something was fun? Another child takes advantage of her distraction and tags her again. "Wanna play?" Without waiting for a reply Calliope taps the girl on the arm and takes off, shouting back over her shoulder as she goes. "You're it!"

HENDRIX ALI

She barely remembers the last Mayoral election, which bothers her deeply. The direction of District Six is deeply important to her now; she's read up on the latest policy decisions, generally understands the financials and has dreams of running for Mayor herself, someday. It would help to have followed an earlier election, but she'll have to settle for this one, at seventeen years old.

Disappointment in her past self is not a new feeling to Hendrix.

But she's on the cusp of adulthood now, more in control of her time and her fate. She's attended almost every event, including debates and coffee shop talks. Registering to vote filled her with a sense of purpose. She's followed Calliope Bloom very carefully. Even if she can't remember the last election, her schoolwork has prepared her with trivia about Ms. Bloom. She's been through hell and back, and yet somehow still finds joy in simple things.

Like playing tag. "It's fun. Wanna play? You're it!"

Just like that, Hendrix is no longer a mere spectator in local politics. She lunges, trying to catch Calliope's falling arm, but the older woman is quick. The kids watch Hendrix give chase for about two nanoseconds before disqualifying them both and starting anew. Hendrix sucks in warm air, ballooning her lungs. "Where did you learn how to run?" She calls, sucks in another breath. "Where did you learn how to campaign?"

…better run, Napoleon Bloom!

“Chasing my shithead brother around for whatever idiot thing he’d done lately,” she replies without thinking, a reluctant hint of a smile tugging at her lips at the same time the rest of her face is scrunching up with automatic annoyance at the thought of Poe. Once the realization of what she’s said sinks in, she doesn’t bother trying to backtrack like she ought to, instead quickly skipping ahead to the follow up question.

“I have no idea what I’m doing.” There’s no laughter to imply that she’s joking, just the blunt honesty that has become her trademark. She’s a terrible politician, but for once that has become something some people seem to like about her — according to the polls, at least. “I’m just so tired of not being able to punch the things I’m mad at.”

Standing there with grass stains on her ankles, unkempt hair, and squinting into the sun, she doesn’t look like a mayoral candidate any more than she feels like one. The children run in wild circles around them, screaming and yelling as they chase each other in an endless, yet familiar game that never really accomplishes anything. “I’m tired of old white dudes telling me what my life is going to be. Mace Emberstatt, the President, all of them… I want to knee them in their collective groin with,” rolling her eyes at herself for being too cheesy or cliche, she sarcastically takes on the most official voice she can manage, “addiction healthcare reform and education expansion. Vote Bloom! Something something together our future will bloom because slogans are terrible. Right?”
