ᴡʜᴏ: CYBELE KASTEL & OPEN ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: TRIBUTE TOWER, LOBBY ᴡʜᴇɴ: SIXTH DAY OF THE GAMES – POST-FIRES, PRE-BOMBING

Cybele didn't have much time for the so-called rebels. In fact, they considered them, for the most part, to be akin to temperamental toddlers – ungrateful little brats that stomped their feet and cried whenever they didn't get their way. There was a reason they'd never had children, after all – and they didn't want to be reminded of those reasons by a group of grown adults. The victors that played along had even less of Cybele's respect – they'd been given everything they had, all their riches and rewards, by the very institution they were now threatening to dismantle. Cybele, for one, had no intention of giving up the luxuries afforded to them by winning the games, just to appease a bunch of greedy children in the outer districts.

So, when they watch the live coverage of the rebels ( quite literally ) setting fire to the city centre, they cannot help but roll their eyes. One, it seemed like a temper tantrum that had gone a step too far. And, two, it was entirely uninspired. Burn down the Capitol by literally burning down the Capitol? Cybele could've done better than that. Bloodier than that. Less painfully on-the-nose than that. Of course, they had to remember that not everybody had the same penchant for destruction that they did – not everybody was as boundlessly creative. Some people were just... well, really boring. And pathetic. These rebels just happened to be both, which made it all the easier to despise them.

"Fucking idiots." They mutter to nobody in particular, blowing out a cloud of smoke from between their teeth. They watch the screen with a face void of any emotion – as helicopters whir overhead to put out fires, people scream and cry and look desperately for their loved ones. When they realise they've caught someone's attention, they elaborate. "They want to prove they're smarter than the Capitol, but they keep running in half-cocked. If you're going to stage an ill-advised coup, at least plan it."

closed event starter for @enriquemarrero activity: hayride

While spring was Alina's favorite season, she did have a love for fall and all fall related things. Carving pumpkins, apple cider, and hayrides were always things she found herself doing during this time of year. And now that she had someone to do it with her, she was excited to have Ricky by her side. So, of course, the first thing she wanted to do was go on the hayride and she dragged him to get in line. "Aren't you excited? I'm excited. First hayride of the season."

WITH: @ohvalleys / marcel WHEN: stardew valley field day

Seline narrows her eyes viciously, a look that is somewhat off balanced by the rainbow war paint covering her face, and her popsicle-patterned overalls. "I swear, Marcel, if you mess this up for us, you'll be the Mangled Marcel instead of the Marvellous One." She stomps her foot for an added flourish. If there was one thing Seline took seriously, it was competition, and she was determined to beat the ice bears... whatever they were called.

@itsallegra / closed event starter / allegra hayes setting: huntsville lake

When Benjamin spotted Allegra, he made his way immediately off the ice, hoping to make it seem as though he was getting off anyway. "Hey there, Hurricane Hayes," he said, smiling as he leaned against one of the nearby trees. "You're skating, right? Need a partner?" His cheeks were already red from the wind and his hands were freezing. He was determined to talk with her, however.

"Howdy ma'am," Ziggy's attempt at a southern twang started and ended there as he sidled towards Mila, thus far almost successfully avoiding all potential disruptors of his night bar a brief run in with Warner.

He's been enjoying himself thus far, even if the music was only mildly to his tastes after some deeper yeehaw cuts started to enter the rotation.

"Who are you here with? And more importantly, who are you leaving here with?"

( It seemed a shame to not throw his hat in the ring for consideration when he was sporting one the whole night. )

Nicole was trying her hardest to be her usual bubbly self, but with Ricky going to the halfway house the next day and them just overall being upset, it was getting harder. She knew it wasn't the place he wanted to be at and she did appreciate him coming with her. It was hard, she knew it, and as she made her way over to him after getting some punch, she put her glass down and stuck her hand out to him. "Dance with me. Please." She said and gave him a soft smile.

thread: carnival games characters: callum & noa where: briar ridge summer festival tagging: @noaandreas

It was the second day of the Summer music festival, and Callum was on Dad duty. He had been looking forward to spending the day with Avie and showing her that, despite the eye-rolls, her old man was still fun. It was also a special day, as Callum had asked Noa to come join them. The two had grown closer over the Summer, and although she had met Avie many times before, he wanted to spend a day with all three of them together. It was important to him to always include his daughter, but he also knew that part of him wanted Avie and Noa to bond. Callum had grown a bond with Noa's father, so it felt like it mattered that he shared his family with her, too, whenever he could. The circumstances were obviously different, but for Callum, it meant something.

He returned with the slushy Avie had ordered to find she had already made a friend at one of the games. Callum laughed and sipped the drink as the kids played. Then he spotted Noa approaching and quickly jogged to meet her, an arm tightly wrapping around her as he kissed her cheek. "Hey, thanks for coming..."

@isaacbrooks (olympic starter) location: avrae said deja vu at the baths ehehe

this  was  ...  so  much  more  than  he  had  expected.  the  baths  back  at  camp  were  already  something,  but  these  here  at  the  olympic  village  were  ...  astounding.  nothing  more  enjoyable  than  to  soak  after  training.  silas  was  alone  for  now,  which...  bothered  him  a  little,  but  he  knew  that  was  just  his  insecurities  talking,  so  he  did  his  very  best  to  ignore  that  little  voice  in  the  back  of  his  head  whispering  worst  case  scenarios  at  him.  he  was  in  one  of  the  pools,  stretched  out  &  mostly  ...  left  alone  by  the  others,  which  partially  was  what  he  wanted,  but  also  ..not.

leaning  back  with  his  arms  behind  his  head,  he  couldn't  help  notice  a  pretty  familiar  face  in  the  crowd,  probably  looking  for  the  same  silas  did,  relaxation  after  training.  arms  lowered,  he  waited  for  eye  contact,  then  smiled  a  little.  it  would  be  his  choice  if  he  wanted  to  join  him  or  mingle  with  others.  they  were  here  to  befriend  &  interact,  he  knew  that,  but  that  didn't  make  it  any  easier  for  him  to  do  it.  most  others  had  no  such  issues,  but  silas  struggled.  not  that  he  shared  his  worries  with  …others.  there  was  no  need  to.  they  didn't  understand  just  how  severely  he  struggled  &  silas  didn't  really  know  how  to  explain  anyway.

closed starter for @loganxwalker location: Halloween Bash

After the night he had, Matt found himself in a better mood than the days previously. It was like seeing his best friend's baby being born made his eyes open back up. He was still grieving, of course, but his heart didn't feel so broken. He found himself knowing that Emily wouldn't want him to be this way. There was still a lot to process, but he didn't want to seclude himself anymore. He felt bad for being closed off the last few weeks and he felt he needed to make up for it; especially to Logan. Hoping she was going to be at the Halloween Bash, Matt dressed up in some clothes he knew he had and added in some body glitter Nicole had and went as Edward Cullen. After looking around for a bit, he found her and smiled as he looked at her as a scarecrow. "Hey. Look at you. The cutest scarecrow I've seen."

WHERE: County Fair WITH: @taliah-tezel

Cole couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia at every turn as he walked the fairgrounds, one arm thrown comfortably around Taliah’s shoulders while the other hand popped a piece of fresh funnel cake into his mouth. As he took in the sights, sounds, and smells,, he easily recalled his first trip to the county fair when Michael and Laura had brought him, hoping to break a fifteen year old Cole out of his shell. It had been no secret to anyone that his move to Tonopah and the circumstances surrounding it had been tough on him, but that hadn’t deterred his aunt and uncle from doing everything they could to lighten the load. The fair had been part of that and for that reason, Cole always made it a point to try and go every year that he could. 

“I can’t believe you’ve never tried funnel cake,” he started, lightly nudging his hip into Taliah’s side as he glanced down at her, a surprised grin pulling at the corner of his mouth, “I kinda feel like I’ve failed ya.” In all the years that they’d hit the fair together, Cole didn’t know how he’d let a national treasure like funnel cake slip through the cracks before now. “C’mere,” Cole prompted, pinching off another piece of funnel cake and dangling it in front of her, “Try this piece.” He paused, his expression suddenly growing gave, though no one could miss the hint of mischief in his eyes, “But just know, if ya hate it, our friendship might be in jeopardy.” Of course, he was only joking. By now, he figured it went without saying that she couldn’t get rid of him even if she tried.

ᴡʜᴏ: PRUDENCE WARREN & NAZANIN NABAVI ( @reblrths ) ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: THE CAPITOL – CITY CENTRE ᴡʜᴇɴ: SIXTH DAY OF THE GAMES, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRES

DISTRICT THIRTEEN was many things, but forthcoming was not one of them. The task Prue had been assigned was simple enough – safe enough. Or, at least, this is what Prue had assumed. She'd been instructed to head to the city centre, to keep an eye out for peacekeepers, for Capitol reinforcements. Just simple intelligence gathering – apparently, there was going to be some sort of resistance activity happening later in the day. What, exactly, Prue didn't know – she didn't have the clearance for that kind of information. There had been the consideration to simply go by herself – but when Nazanin had offered to tag along, Prue had been quick to agree. Then again, she was quick to agree to most things that Naz suggested. Especially if it meant spending time alone together.

All had been going well – they'd been scouting the streets for peacekeepers, bantering, and Naz's shoulder had even brushed against Prue's own in a way that made her heart flutter. She'd noticed the hours quickly ticking away – the time that she'd been instructed to return and report back long since having passed. Ordinarily, Prue was a stickler for a deadline, but she had become quickly engrossed in some story that Nazanin was telling, which led to another, and another – and by the time she'd found the presence of mind to tear her eyes away from Naz's lips and to her watch, dawn had slipped into early morning. She'd muttered something about needing to get back – but, before they had the chance, the Capitol started to burn.

She won't ever remember much of what had happened next – she will remember grabbing Naz's hand and starting to run as the building beside them was suddenly engulfed in flames. She will remember the screams of frightened Capitolites as building after building caught fire, as the foundations began to collapse and smoke clouded the streets. She will remember choking on the smoke and dodging debris as more and more of the city centre became an uninhabitable inferno and flames licked at her exposed skin. She will remember seeing blue sky in the distance – and almost, almost making it to safety, before the building in front of their path to escape came crumbling down.

And then, she won't remember much of anything at all.

Consciousness returns slowly. The first thing that Prue becomes aware of is a painful pounding in her head. The second is a raw feeling in her throat, cotton in her lungs. The third is that she is in the dark – surrounded by debris on all sides and trapped by large slabs of concrete. The fourth is a dull throbbing over her arms and legs. She squints against the darkness to see that her skin is red and raw, and her left arm has started to blister painfully from where it was exposed to the flames. The fifth ( and, by far the most important ) is that she is not immediately sure where Nazanin is. They'd been together, hadn't they? Naz had only been here because Prue had dragged them along – and now she couldn't see them.

"Naz –" Prue starts, cutting off as she coughs violently. Her voice is hoarse, but she swallows thickly a few times before trying again. "Naz?" She calls out, louder this time, as tears sting against her eyes. Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay. "Can you hear me?" It's impossible to miss the way that her voice cracks on the last syllable.

closed starter for @evrenosman location: the Wagner Wedding

Luciana was definitely thinking twice about working the wedding by the time the dinner was over. She didn't realize Evren was going to be there, let alone Dean and Julian as well, but her ex was the biggest surprise; especially when he was with a date who happened to be in the wedding party. She worked hard to avoid his gaze, but while everyone started getting up to dance and she was cleaning up, she spotted him on the way to the kitchen and she sighed before putting on a smile. "I didn't realize you were going to be here today." She said as she put her tray down at the table. "Your date looks nice."

WITH: @chrrylpstcks / open to any of ur muses !!

Jai's got all the patience in the world today, it seems. He's hopped up on the promises of teamwork and camaraderie, and he's significantly closer than he was yesterday to convincing the towns folk of the faux moon landing. Juggling three oranges in his hands, Jai approaches, with a know-it-all smirk on his face and rubber boots far too large for his tiny feet.

"What a wonderful occasion," he comments in lieu of a greeting. "I can't wait for team spice berry to prevail. Then I'll really be having a field day." He begins to laugh manically.

Beverly tilted her head at her snowman creation. She really hadn't built one since she was a little girl, but that didn't mean she didn't remember the proper techniques. Still, it felt like something was wrong with it. She glanced at the person standing nearest to her, giving them a small smile. "It's missing something, isn't it?" She asked, letting out a breath. "I almost think he looks sad. What do you think?"

event: The Wagner Wedding with: Aubrey Miller ( @aubreymillerx )

Now that dinner was finished, all the team had to do was clear up and pack up the leftovers for the new Mr. & Mrs. Wagner. But since all the food had been served, Roman had told everyone to go and have a quick break before they started clean-up. He had stepped outside for a short walk and smoke break when he saw a familiar redhead.

"Aubrey!" He shouted, putting up his free hand to wave at her and get her attention. "Hey!"
