( 𝐸𝓁𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒟𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂𝑒𝓇 - For sure! I have Amadrya in the training centre or I also need to bring Burton and Astrape down there so it’s totally down to you who you wanna rp with. Oh and I also have Remus obvs 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 - I’m gonna have Macaria leave if that’s okay but feel free to have Holly talk to another of my charries if you want) |

   Macaria Slayte
The innocent flower and the serpent under it
“Oh, perhaps I was just trying to be polite,” she responded “I thought you were the one with the messed up sense of humour. And I didn’t want to discourage you, after all, because I doubt you’ll be making quite so many jokes in the Arena.”
Then Holly challenged her, talking about people not wanting to kill and acting out of self-defence. And that only the Careers would be hunting people down.
“Oh, Holly,” she replied with a light sigh “I know you think I’m fake, but I consider myself more real than most of the others here. I know I’m going to kill, and I own that fact. The others, yourself included, pretend that you’re only going to act out of self-defence, like you wouldn’t take an opportunity if you saw it. That’s fake, to me. And as for your prediction of only six people hunting other tributes down... well, the Arena changes people.”
She stepped closer, leaning forward to whisper in Holly’s ear.
“We’ll just have to see, won’t we? But I’m willing to bet that katana of yours will taste ‘innocent’ blood eventually.”
She stepped back again, listening to Holly’s next words with slight amusement.
“Looks like none of us tributes need to kill you,” Macaria noted, “you ought to be careful what you say about the Capitol, Holly, or else they’ll take you out of the running for us. And Burton, too. Still, I’d rather be a doll for the Capitol than die and be forgotten the next year like everyone else.”
In response to Holly’s warnings about the other careers and focusing on them instead, Macaria shook her head.
“Of course I know,” she replied, “but don’t worry your little head about me, I can take care of myself just fine. You just focus on you and Burton, because you too are in an alliance that can’t last forever.”
She looked over Holly one more time.
“You stay safe, Holly,” Macaria said “I hope we meet again.”
And with that, she turned and strolled away to another station, now bored of her little conversation with Holly. |

(Also Macaria is so hard for me to rp cos I’m not used to doing manipulative/mean characters. It is very fun though, so...)

Amadrya Darrow
The fire-eyed maid of smoky war
Amadrya headed down to the training centre, which was pretty sparsely populated this early in the morning, with only one or two other tributes in the room. Good. She wanted to practise the skills she was already good at without making it appear like she was a show-off. If the Careers saw you as a show off, you were pretty high on their kill list.
So she found a station with throwing axes, a small smile spreading on her face as she saw the tool most familiar to her back in her district. Well, a normal axe, not a throwing axe. But hey, she knew how to handle an axe. And if she could get her hands on a weapon like that in the arena it was almost as versatile as a knife, since if could be used as both a tool and a weapon.
She picked up the axe, taking a moment to get familiar with the weight, the balance, the grip. It was so much smoother and more streamlined than what she was useful. She’d practise with this for a few throws to warm up and then do something else afterwards.
She looked to the target in front of her, shaped like a body, with a target on the head and on the chest. Amadrya paused once again, adjusting her centre of gravity, getting her aim. Then she lifted the axe with one hand, using the other arm to balance herself, and then she let the axe loose.
It spun through the air, and landed with the satisfying thump on the target on the head. On the edge of the target, really, she had barely actually hit. But it was a good start, since she didn’t throw axes a lot.
She retrieved her axe and did the same thing a couple more times, trying not to imagine it being an actual person. Trying to forget that she could be throwing an axe at the skull of one of these kids very soon.
Thump. Chest. Thump. Head.
Satisfied with her little warm-up, Amadrya decided to visit some of the more key stations for survival skills she might need in the Arena. She had plans to visit the fire-starting station, but figured it would be better to return to that one a little bit later, something to busy herself with while the others were trying to show off to one another.
So for now, she headed to the shelter-making station, she knew a few basic knots, enough for a shelter, but she’d learn some other useful ones at the knot-tying station a little later. |

 - - - - - Holly Alandria
Holly glared at the girl, but didn’t speak any longer, other than small things that Macaria bounced off. But she found herself leaning back as Macaria whispered in her ear. She was rather uncomfortable now, the words haunting her.
The comment about being forgotten caused her to go completely silent though, she cut herself from the conversation, Macaria was right about that. Her eyes focused downwards, she had complete awareness and knowledge that she would keep her cool in the arena. She faced deadly situations before, while they made She humor very dark, they didn’t make her insane. She was used to loneliness and pressure, she refused to kill unless it was necessary.
Even then she doubted she could. And she knew she wouldn’t win because of it.
But it She was scared of being forgotten. For some reason, that was worse than the fear of death or of drowning. It was being forgotten that was the largest. Maybe because her father forgot her, and because of the aftermath.
She had a sour feeling, too, that if she died, no one would remember her. Not Burton, because life would continue on. She would be another dead tribute of the games.
She liked to think she would rather be forgotten than live life trying to forget.
She turned away too, glaring over her shoulder, as she went to a new station. Climbing it seemed. Something she was already extremely well with. But she could learn to do it faster. But on in her head repeated that message.
All we are is dead and gone.
She was already gone. |

Astrape Vetton
This above all: to thine own self be true
But now she knew her priority was to try and pick up a weapon. She’d need one. Preferably one that was light, not too bulky or difficult to carry. One that would complement her speed and agility. Preferably a distance weapon.
She looked over the weapons stations, skipping over swords and other weapons that were bulky and heavy. She considered the bow, which was a little big but was otherwise perfect as a weapon for her. She’d practise with that later.
But then her eyes fell on the slingshots. Ideal. Distance weapon, allowed for stealthy attacks. Light, small, easy to carry. Perfect for Astrape.
She headed over and picked up the slingshot, loading it up and pulling it back, aiming for the target.
She let the slingshot go, and sighed slightly when it missed the target. She didn’t really know what she was doing, she’d never used weapons before.
But still, she had to keep trying. Practise made perfect, after all, and she needed a weapon for in the Arena. |

Hahahah I get you x
I’m bringing Burton down, so he can interact with Holly or any of your other characters if you want. I don’t know if you have any preference as to who he talks to or if you wanna use one of your other characters so I won’t have him chat to holly immediately so he’s open to any of your charries)

Burton Acton
And either victory, or else a grave
He decided he ought to follow her, and so he headed down to the training centre, looking around as he entered to see that the room was getting busier at this point, as there were tributes at most of the stations. He looked around for Holly, and saw her at the climbing station. She was really good, and looked very focussed. He didn’t want to talk to her in case he startled her or broke her focus, so he decided to look around the other stations to see if he could gain any skills that might be useful to the two of them.
Burton decided to start with the knot-tying station, because he knew he had good dexterity and he’d be decent at it. Plus it was a very useful and pretty underrated skill in the arena. He knew he’d need to learn to tie knots so they could set traps and things like that.
He had plans to look at weapons a little later with Holly, since she’d said she would help him with that and he didn’t want to start without her. Until then, he’d pick up some of the more basic stuff they needed for survival, like fire-starting and shelter-building.
Plus, he didn’t want to give away too much in front of the other tributes. He had to save something for the private session with the Gamemakers, and he knew he didn’t want the other tributes to know all of his skills this early on.
So he sat, working on a knot that was key in making a simple trap. It wasn’t too difficult yet, but he knew the more complex ones would take some practise. |
