"I think we are." She guides his wings so that they wouldn't get caught on the fabric. She gets them fully through and steps back. "Try moving your wings around now."

Stretching out his wings, then pressing them against his back after having a gush of wind flow through the room.
"Thanks"
He says looking at them, still trying to adjust the suit against his chest. He was lucky he was kind of muscular or else he would've been pissed.
"So….where do we go now?"

"I don't know, let's just go out in the hallway and see if anyone else is out."
She walks past him and opens the door, peering out. She spots some of the other tributes.
"C' mon. I want to 'meet' some of the other tributes." She says, her voice slightly sarcastic.
She didn't really want to make friends with all of the other tributes. That would just make things in the arena more complicated. She did want to do some evaluation of what they were up against.

"Um, how about no?"
He says crossing his arms at the sight of them.
"That'll just make things worse"
He says looking down the hallway. He had zero interest in the others whatsoever. Unless he could find away to kill them that it.

"Then we don't have to talk to them. Let's just go out in the hallway with everyone else so Michael doesn't whoop our asses for staying in the room the whole time."
She grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward into the hallway then let go. She walked confidently down the hallway and positioned herself within listening distance from the other people in the hallway, but far enough so people didn't think she was approaching them. She leaned against the wall and started a visual evaluation of the room. Seong-Jin could join her or go to his own spot, as long as she didn't get in trouble with Michael.

Leaning against the wall beside her as he was trying to blow white strands of hair out of his face.
"Honestly, why can't we just kill them now?"
He says with a sigh. He honestly hated this whole thing. Way too much work if you ask him. He wanted to go back to his broken up basement eating an apple while flipping through the pages of an old book. Not this crap

"Because if we did try to harm anyone now, the Capital will automatically kill us, or worse."
She also would rather be doing her own thing. Her wings were itching for a swim, and more than anything, she wished she could be with her mom.

"Oh! That sounds fun!"
He says turning to her suddenly intrigued.
"How do you know so much about this? And what would they do to us if they don't kill us? Torture? I always love some suffering and pain here and then"
He says not sarcastically at all. Most would most deem him insane. Which he probably was when it came to matters like this.

"You're messed up, man." She says, giving him the side-eye.
"I've heard if you break laws they cut off your tongue and make you a slave. I don't know if it's true though. If they do torture, I'd bet big money that you would not love pain and suffering during that."

"Oh, you don't know me. And seriously? That's all they do? No whips or blades or hooks? How lame honestly."
He says with a shrug and a sigh. He wouldn't mind having his tongue cut off, to be honest. But he was smart enough not to break the rules. It would be too boring to kill these people and that's it. He would win and then kill more.

"They do mind games. They mess with your brain. They have chemicals that'll make pain a relief. Death would be preferable than what they can inject you with. Now shut up about pain, Michael is here." Sure enough, Michael was approaching them to bring them to the training room.
The hour went fast, she thought

"How lame"
He says with a sigh as he follows whoever this Micheal guy was.

(Oh heck um…)
Ash sighed as she left her room, standing uncomfortably outside her door with her arms crossed for a few moments before slowly making her way in what she assumed was the general direction of the training room.

Alice finally got to the training room, after three or four times of going the wrong way and having to be redirected by some poor soul who happened to be in the vicinity. She opened the door, relieved to finally have found it, and walked inside. Her partner had yet to get there, and so she surveyed the competition by herself.

Ash found the training room with much difficulty. Because she refused to ask anyone for help, she had doubled back at least 5 times, and fell down the stairs 2 of those times. Mornings had never been the best time for her. She accidentally set a table on fire the third time she passed through the same room, and had to quickly leave the room. She entered the training room somewhat out of breath from her mild panic, but forced herself to look completely unconcerned.

Everyone was trailing in to the training room and before Zuri could set off to explore the different stations, Michael stopped them.
“Since I’m your representative I should at least give some advice. The rest of the elements will look for bows and long range weapons to take you guys down when you fly, be wary of that. I also recommend long range weapons so you can counter them.” Michael explains. Then he turns and leaves.
Well that was useful, Zuri thought sarcastically in her head.

"Oh, do you think I was dumb enough to NOT already know that?"
Seong-Jin scoffs as they enter the training room. He did like shorter-range weapons. More up close and personal, and if he got lucky….more Gorey. But that didn't matter in this situation. He just needed to kill, then jump to the other victim.

"I am going to look at the bows though. Join me or go your own way."
She wandered off in the direction she thought the bows were and took in all the other stations. There were stations for each specific element, stations for specific weapons, and stations for specific skills. She saw one for swimming and fishing and knew she wouldn't have to stop by there. She found it was funny the capital was training them to murder each other and possibly be murdered. She finally found the bows and picked up a bow and quiver full of arrows. She hefted it to test its weight and went to the shooting range, not bothering to find an instructor. She could figure it out on her own.

Following her, quickly reaching the bows before anyone else, he picks one up. Rather big, but perfect for him. He liked the whitish silvery color to it too.
"Thisll do"
He says to his partner with a smile, he couldn't remember her name to save his life. And hopefully it wouldn't actually effect weather he died or not, which he doubted.

"Have you had any experience with these Seong-Jin?" Zuri asked. She tested and drew the string back. It wasn't that hard, but she found if she tried to hold it there it made her muscles ache. Finally, after testing her strength, she tested her actual ability to shoot the bow. The string was thick and she drew it back to the corner of her mouth like some of the hunters she'd seen do. Once her sights were lined up, she aimed and fired. It flew straight and cleanly, hitting the target… on the very edge. It would take some practice for sure. Good thing they had all day.

"Of course. Who do you think I am huh?!"
He says immediately grabbing an arrow, pulling it back with ease and hitting the target, extremely close to the center, but not quite. He had learned how to shoot these things. He would make them all of the time since he had no money to buy one. He did steal one before. And he would say he's amazing, but he needed a little bit of practice. What he really needed to work on was aiming while flying.

"Huh, better than me. I've only watched someone shoot one. Maybe it's better if you stick to the bows." She tried one more time and got the same amount of success. "Have you ever tried flying with it? I want to see if I can…" She trailed off and got enough room to take off a foot off the ground. Then she thought better of using a dangerous weapon she only had partial success with when flying in a small area and quickly dropped to the ground. "Nevermind."

"Not much, but I'm sure I'm amazing at it"
He says shooting up in the air, flying back a little and aiming with confidence. Letting go of the string, the arrow zipping through the air. Hitting the target spot on…..or did it.
"Darnit…."
He says as he lets his eyes focus on the arrow and the target. He hit the target….not even the one he was aiming for though.

"Pfffft." Zuri covers her mouth with her hand and tries not to laugh. When she composes herself she takes a stationary shot at the target Seong-Jin hit with better success than before. "What just happened there is why I stopped beforehand. If someone is always standing next to your targets I'm sure they're goners."

"Pfft, i was aiming for that one"
He says crossing his arms, sending a light gush of wind her way.
"And anyway, I've never used these types of targets or bows before. And these arrows are probably rigged"
He says with confidence, knowing fill well that he just miserably failed.

"Because arrows can be rigged." She scoffs, sending her own gust of wind towards him.
She sends another arrow down the range and celebrates when it hits the bullseye.
"Yes! Finally!" In her surge of pride, she tries again, expecting it to be close again, but no. It barely hits the edge of the target, and her smile immediately goes away.
"Huhhhhhh… Now I just have to practice until that doesn't happen."

"Yeah, definitely"
He says playfully. Lowering down to the ground, he shoots a bullseye again, and again. He was just too good at everything, wasn't he? (Sarcasm)
"All I need to do is aim for the right one this time…."
He mumbles to himself as he slowly lifts himself up into the air, little by litter, pulling back the string.
Hitting right in between the two targets and penetrating the wall, he sighed and looked back at whatever her name was.
"Zucchini, I think arrows can definitely be rigged. I mean look at how bad you're doing. Surely you can do better"
He says laughing a bit at the nickname he gave her. He knew it was something like that.

"Zucchini? Did you just call me a vegetable!" She sighed and shook her head. "You are so weird Sesame Seed." She smirked at him.
While he was shooting bullseyes, she was getting closer and closer to the bullseye.
"Here, maybe if you see me do it you'll feel a bit better about yourself."
She also slowly lifted herself off of the ground, went over all the steps, and released. She whooped in delight when it hit the right edge of the target in front of her.
"Maybe it's just your arrows that are rigged. Also, I find it helps to really stiffen your arm and lock your shoulder in place." She taunted through giggles.
