   Macaria Slayte
The innocent flower and the serpent under it
She followed his gaze over to Macaria and Everest, watching as Holly steppes away from the pair so they could talk.
“Holly Alandria,” Macaria replied “District 8. She’s smart, too smart if you ask me. She hates us, she wouldn’t be a viable ally. And she’s capable with katanas, which means she could probably handle herself with a few other weapons at least. But she’s pretty close with the boy, Burton I think his name is. Protective of him, too. To get to her we have to put him in danger. We can’t kill him, though, because then she’ll have nothing to lose and she’ll really pose a threat to us. He is her weakness, she will make stupid mistakes and make herself vulnerable to try and protect him.”
He would be her undoing, Macaria was sure of it. Because Holly Alandria had to die, and to take her down they had to make her think Burton was at risk. The boy didn’t strike Macaria as a huge threat; he could handle a weapon, Holly had been teaching him, but he was no expert. A mediocre tribute at best, though he was excellent at charming the Capitol. That wouldn’t save him from a knife though |

[ totally keep forgetting that you're like 6 hours ahead of me xD ]
Destiny fumbled around with her hands, tracing the intricate lines and details of her dress. It was beautiful, no doubt, but she couldn't help thinking how all of this was masking the fact that soon the Capitol would be thrusting each of them into a slaughterhouse. Soon enough all the eyes of Panem would be upon her. Hungry, thirsty, soaking up all of the beauties of each tribute only to find pleasure in their horrific deaths.
Bread and circuses, she thought, shaking her head only slightly. Right now, however, she needed these people on her side. She needed everyone in those stands to love and adore her. It seemed like they wouldn't be going anywhere for a while, though.
Without much thought, Destiny paced around in search for her district partner. She hadn't seen him since they had been split into different rooms to be groomed up for tonight's display.
[ okay I know she didn't interact at all but you can just throw her at her xD. Also, does it seem bad that I can't wait to kill off the characters that I am currently unable to keep up with? sorry Eli ]]

Astrape Vetton
This above all: to thine own self be true
Astrape noticed, as she lingered in the vicinity of her chariot, a girl tribute who seemed to be searching for someone. Her district partner? Either way, she wanted to help and so she approached with a smile.
“Hey,” she greeted “are you looking for someone? I can help if you want. I’m Astrape, District 5.”
She was chatting to as many of the tributes as possible that day, trying to figure them all out - and, if she could, make sure she had some friendly faces in that Arena. She already had an ally in the District 3 boy, Elliot, or so it appeared. She just didn’t want to go into that arena without knowing who she was going in with.
“You look really nice, by the way,” Astrape said, “your stylist did a really good job.”
It seemed that all of the stylists had outdone themselves that year, everyone looked amazing, from the District 1 tributes to the District 12 ones. |

Destiny pivoted on the spot upon hearing a voice to the left of her. She marveled at the girl's outfit, then gave a nervous smile as her own was complimented.
"Thank you," she said, offering a hand to the girl for her to shake, "And I'm Destiny, Destiny Ghere." After Astrape shook her hand Destiny gestured to her dress, "District Eleven, as you can probably tell." Her eyes wavered across the other tributes, scanning for her district partner. "And, yeah, I'm looking for Darius... though he must've gotten held back by his stylist team."
She scanned the younger girl's outfit again, and made her reactions totally known, "Which, by the way, did an excellent job on you! Is that... real gold?" She wouldn't be in the least surprised if so. The wealth of these Capitollites was astounding, and the funding that went into the Games was ten times that amount that her district was worth.
[ wow I actually got a reply up except I gtg now so see you tomorrow! ]]

Astrape Vetton
This above all: to thine own self be true
“It’s really nice to meet you, Destiny,” she said with a nod
And when Destiny said she was looking for her district partner, Darius, Astrape nodded. She was sure she vaguely remembered which tribute she was referring to. Twenty-four was a lot of people to remember, after all, and her memories of some of them were hazy. Darius among them.
Astrape was about to make some assurances that she was sure Darius wouldn’t be long, that she was right and that he was probably just being held up by the stylists. But then Destiny was complimenting her on her outfit and she smiled shyly.
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen real gold,” she admitted “but even if it isn’t this dress is probably worth more than my whole house at home. I hope I don’t get it dirty or something. But, thank you, I’m glad you like it. You look so lovely too, by the way, I love your outfit and your makeup is just so gorgeous.”
But talking about the costumes and things would get meaningless and tiring quickly, so she offered a change in subject.
“So, how’re you feeling about this whole thing?” Astrape asked |

(As I said before I’m planning a thing for Macaria the night before the Games. Unsure whether I should just do a one-off post about what she is thinking or whether I wanna make it a scene open for interaction, in which case I’ll plan it as a starter I can post when we rp the night before the Games)

Carlo:
Killed on: Bloodbath, Day 1
Cause of death: TBD
Killed by: Macaria
Kill count: 0
———
Astrape:
Killed on: Bloodbath, Day 1
Cause of death: TBD
Killed by: Alessandro?
Kill count: 0
———
TBD...)
(I’m updating it by deaths, and may switch it to districts if need be? For now I think this is good? That way we can see placements, like 24th, 23rd. Everything is subject to change and will be changed when the games start.)

"This whole thing?" She said, mainly to recap what the younger girl had said. It appeared she was blunt, straight to the point, down to business. Destiny liked that about her. "Well, it's shit," she finished with an equal amount of bluntness to her voice. "I don't know much about Five but Eleven taught me to hate the Capitol." She lowered her voice as she uttered her last words, careful not to displease anyone and have to pay for it later. In the Games, that is.
She looked downward and gestured towards herself, noting internally how her shoes and draping dress perfectly covered various scars that she had gained from life in her district. "This thing is supposed to represent my district. District Eleven. As if anyone is proud to be from Eleven!" Her words fell into a hushed whisper, so that only Astrape could hear. "They divide us - separate us - as if we're any different from each other. But we're not. Not even the career districts. We all fall prey to the Capitol's rule. Every year." Destiny gave a quick glance to her left and right, ensuring the safety of their conversation.
"Uniting across districts could be the only thing left to do to defy the Capitol." She said, holding out a hand for Astrape to shake.
She had vented about the Capitol in front of various tributes during training. She had given similar speeches and talks, always saying how they were all slaves to the Capitol. And it was true, no matter how radical or stupid many of them had thought her out to be. In the end this enslavement is what would kill all but four percent of them. One person. Alone and victorious, but surely even they would not be able to escape the Capitol's firm grasp.
[ okay I decided it would be cool to add that to her character. I figure there's at least one person every few years who goes around saying, 'if everyone's on the same side in the Arena the Capitol is the ultimate loser'! (And Destiny strikes me as the kind of person who would totally do that)
oh and haha little Burton reference there. ]]

Astrape Vetton
This above all: to thine own self be true
She listened to the girl’s words, nodding along with the things she said because at the end of the day she agreed with them. Destiny was right, after all. If only it was actually as simple as what she was saying.
“I agree with you,” she said with a nod “the problem is there’s nothing we can do about it. We can’t unite in the Arena because there’s no way the careers would agree not to kill, they’re too far gone, too damaged by the Capitol already. And we can try to speak out but they’ll never listen to the words of a tribute. Our only possible way to defy the Capitol is with how we die, if we do. Make our districts feel for us and rebel. Take control of our own deaths so that the Capitol can’t have control over those.”
But she shook Destiny’s hand when she offered it, giving a smile.
“They’ll go down one day, Destiny,” Astrape said “and if there’s anything we can do to make that day closer, we should take it.” |
