Mark burns brass, lightly lightly soothing everyone around him. "Sorry. I know that Red could have done good things. I just want to point out that there is a Deepwalker right there near Maj, and it looks to be quite similar to what Red was, but...Green, this time." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Blossom she/her Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago 3 hours ago, The Stormfather said: "You're remembering the end of the games, when we were in teams and when we knew we had a chance of getting out. That's all it took. Hope. At the beginning of the games, there were many of us who were just as emotionally deadened as those in the arena right now. We just... Well, we formed teams, and actually started to get to know each other. Our arena was much less deadly, so...I guess we had time to stop thinking about the next fight, the next Change." She smiled bitterly. "What a time." She said, reminiscing. Astra moved closer to the screen, eyes focused on the tributes.
