just read it all and join in with me ig

He shrugged. “I like to run. And volunteer at the local school. But some of the things they teach are dumb. Like, did you know that we’re supposed to hate the people of the Water District?”

"Um, yes? They teach everyone that… don't they?" She asked confusedly.

(What's all going on?)

(Well, so the names were chosen, and they’re all on the train to the Capital. The Water people are allies, as well as the Earth and Air male. True Fires are just talking, and… yeah.)

“They are dumb,” Ara agreed. She spotted a bar covered in food and moved over to it, selecting a knife and twisting it around in her fingers before tossing it at the wall.

Blaise shrugged. “I guess. But I think it’s kind of stupid. We should be working in harmony with other Districts, not being scared of them because they are different.” He shrugged. “At least, that’s what I think. But the Water girl, I can see why we’d never trust her. She’s bad luck.”

Ash shuddered. "She gives me the creeps," she agreed. "They formed a group, and they were all talking about how best to murder people, and…" she shuddered again.

Blaise laughed. “Yeah. The guy seems creepy. But did you see the Air girl? She seemed scary.” He shivered. “Not as bad as Water, but, you know, close.”

"I, er, I try not to think about competition too much. Then maybe the Games won't actually happen. Maybe I can find a way out and stowaway on a ship going somewhere else," she said wistfully.

“I know, right? It sounds very nice right now.” He sighed. “I am glad that I got chosen though. I don’t know what I would have done otherwise. This is my last year that I’m able to, and I want to win. You know Flayme, the winner about 6 years ago? I’ve always admired her.”

"I did as well," Ash admitted. "I just - if I'm being honest, I'm not a killer. I can kill animals, but real, living people?" She shook her head. "Can't do it. Maybe I'll be able to hide the whole time."

He tilted his head, scrutinizing her. “Well, with that small frame, you’d be able to. Easily.”

Ash grinned briefly. "I've gotten good at it," she said, not bragging, just telling the truth.

“I bet. With siblings, I can see that.” Blaise sends her a quick smile.

Ash smiled at the thought. "They think I can turn invisible… I'm just good at making camouflage," she explained.

“Lucky. I can’t blend in to save my life.” He gestured at his body. “I can’t even fit in the largest of spaces. Claustrophobic.”

Seong-Jin looks over at the other Air member.
She seems cool, and she will be on my team right? So should I talk to her?

Ash smiled sympathetically. "That's going to be tough. I'll probably end up hiding and making traps. I'm not good with actual, real-live people. Like, at all. Even if I catch a real person in a trap, though, I wouldn't be able to kill them. I'd probably just leave them there for whoever comes along next," she said thoughtfully.

Kai looks over at the other Earth member. She looks cool, maybe I should go over (His thoughts).

Seong passes that though through his mind and out his ear. He's thinking of more ways to avoid people but also fight when he has to.
I have my wings so I can move around easily. But I am a bigger target. I can be a sniper. Dang but I am good in close combat.
He just starts laughing.
"What are the odds huh? The homeless guy gets picked. Huh maybe if I get killed I can get out of this cruel world…"
He says out loud to Kai but then he goes into his thoughts.
what if….. Malakai…. Can I trust him? I'll be on my guard but I will for now.

Blaise shrugged. “I’ll most likely just charge into he thick of it and get myself killed.”

Ash raised an eyebrow delicately. "That sounds like… possibly the worst idea I've ever heard, but all right, then. I don't suppose you'd want to team up, would you?" She asked, sounding like the answer didn't much trouble her.

Royce followed Ara to the bar. He got a pack of chips and went back to his seat. He opened it and started eating it like a child.

Blaise snorted. “I would like it, but I would most likely get you killed. Think carefully. Are you sure you want me as your ally?”

Ara glances at him and snorts before pulling the knife from the wall. She puts it back in its place and sits down again, not bothering to eat anything. “So,” she says calmly, drumming her liking fingernails on the table, “Can you generate ice and coldness from thin air, or does there need to be moisture?”

Blaise snorted. “I would like it, but I would most likely get you killed. Think carefully. Are you sure you want me as your ally?”

Ash tilted her head. "As long as you don't go charging into a battle with the express purpose of dying, then yes. Though, you'll have to stay away from my hiding spots when we camp," she said, already planning ahead, "that way no one will see me. And I can teach you some camouflage as well, so you're not completely defenseless."

“Thanks,” he said, feeling relieved. “Well then, sure, I guess.” He paused. “And can you fight very well? I can teach you if you want.”

Ash rolled her eyes. "Believe me, I know a thing or two."

“Whatever was you say.” Blaise leaned back in his seat. He knew that he had a bed somewhere on the train, but he was too lazy to go there. He was exhausted, and needed sleep.

Ash leaned against the window beside her seat, stretching her legs out. She wasn't sure it would be possible for her to get any sleep, but she could at least try.
