The Market
Sold here are the necessities of the world, turned into contraptions and inventions designed to make your life easier. The engineers have invented everything from self operating vegetable skinners to a vehicle that walks rather than rolls. All of the inventions are shockingly simple, but insanely brilliant.

 ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Nim Ivory Gallagher District Five ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Delicately wiping my hands off on my cotton white apron, I lifted the cake I was working on and brought it over to a clean table. There was a wedding taking place tonight and I needed to finish this cake soon. I enjoyed being in this environment, smelling of breads and other sweet baked goods that we produced. The business was good, usually calm and uncrowded, which is how I liked it. I wasn't a fan of the busy bustling of some of the other shops around here, and was truly thankful for such a nice place such as this.
I pulled a piping bag out of one of the cabinets near the table I was working at, carefully filling it with a lovely lavender colored frosting. For a moment, I examined the cake, it already being covered in a simple white frosting with a lattice imprint on it, and debated the rest of the design for a moment. For each and every cake I decorated, I always treated them as though they were masterpieces, and have never received a negative comment on them. I wasn't a fan of bragging, but I knew my skills were quite advanced. Considering the hunger games, however, brought a certain sense of doom through my body, for how would decorating cakes improve my chances of survival? ≎≎≎Mood:Calm≎≎≎Location:Bakery≎≎≎Inventory:Cake≎≎≎

How the hell is he supposed to do that, exactly? Not to be a bit blunt, but Chase hadn't known of any "fun" for about ten years now; since Titanium took him under his wing and gave him all the shelter and care he could ever want in replacement for his lost parents... How could he even forget that event all those years ago that changed his life, as well as Speckle's role from only a family dog to being Chase's only truly loyal companion compared to the figures he had stolen from. What scared him back then had been the understanding eyes of the few who recognized him as being the frightened Pratt orphan.
But that face was long gone now. Now it was replaced with a mask of charm and wit that overpowered the real him... As he arrived at the square, he could smell the interesting scents that whirled about the marketplace: the lightly delicious bread from the bakery, the slightly addicting smell of freshly hunted and cooked meat, and the finely prominent scent of fish, and earthy odor of foraged vegetation and fruits. Chase always took to stealing from the market whenever their vendors weren't looking. It was always easy pickings on busy days similar to this. 'Perhaps I shall take a few apples for wandering? Or maybe I'll actually buy a loaf of bread and bit of cheese instead?' He gave off a sigh and gave into wondering if he should just try to be a musician for a living. There wasn't much use to it except as a pastime and pleasing others.συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : ... I partially don't know what I was thinking of in this post. XD

Lucy ran through the market, tool belt clanking noisily around her waist. She had been working all day and had finally acquired a chance to just relax, and had found herself heading into the market to look for some cool new gadgets. It had probably been a mistake to bring Socket with her, but the German Shepard just would not leave her side today. She was a relatively young dog, only about six months old, but already she was as protective of Lucy as the girl's mother. Lucy loved her dog for that, and knew that she was safe with Socket around.
As for the reason she was running, well that was because Socket had caught sight of some sort of small animal, probably a rat, and had taken off like a bullet. Lucy was fast, but a total klutz. She was more likely to trip over her own feet before she even caught up with the dog. Lucy pumped her arms and called out to the dog, "Socket, heel!" The people around the market just chuckled and shook their heads, all of them knew Lucy and were used to her shenanigans by now.
When the dog finally stopped and began barking lightly into a hole under one of the stalls, Lucy grabbed her by her collar and hauled her back, smacking her nose with three fingers, "No, bad girl. You stay by me or I'm going to lock you up next time." The dog whined and laid her ears down flat, seeming to understand what Lucy had said. Now, the girl didn't know if she really had or not, but Socket was smart and it wouldn't shock Lucy if she did.
At this point Lucy straightened up and smiled sheepishly at the owner of the fruit stand where Socket had stopped, "I am so sorry about her. She's just excited." The old man chuckled and waved her off, then pointed to his head, "You lost your cap, Lucy."
Lucy blinked in shock and reached up, finding that her hat was indeed gone. It must have flew off during the chase. She groaned and turned around, looking around for her lost hat and pushing the brown curls out of her face.

ι и v є и т σ я ч dagger (holstered at belt), and small coin pouch.xxიxxcυяяєиτ συτғιτxxიxxcυяяєиτ sσиɢҀσρρєя noticed that a commotion had begun as he heard some female shouting and the scuffling that he was all too aware easily that that was of a dog's. Plus, it only made sense for a dog to be named "Socket", and not a little boy or girl. Then again, maybe people were growing more and more creative? It is sort of a related to the District, being that it was in charge of engineering and all... His former suspicions had been confirmed as, at the vendor of the fruit stand he had just thought about robbing was with a young woman Copper now recognized even better; one of the students at the school that was a few- 'Two, if I'm remembering correctly'- years younger than him, Lucy-Ann Gallagher.
Okay, so Copper had to admit it, since a whole good chunk of the boys at school were too chicken: Lucy is pretty damned cute. And she's easily is marked in his book as an interesting kind of handy woman, and probably the kind of girl who could manage very well enough on her own. Hey, there had been times in the past in the few classes he had shared with her in which Copper had witnessed her taking charge of things. And, though he would never admit that out loud, it was pretty nice to see a girl who can do that. Practically a flattering attribute that caught his eye, though he knew he wasn't the only one... But, unlike the others, though he did have the charm to, he would never be so improper as to flirt. He had been taught his morals- no, they had been set in stone for him. All thanks to Titanium, who was an eccentric gentleman.
Maybe it was out of wonder just a bit, but he began inching towards the fruit stand to get a better look... And then he tripped. He didn't fall, thank God, but there was something small and soft that caught his foot at the toe and dragged it back as he tried to make a step. He looked down and, hanging off of his shoe, was a brown cap like those of old-time newspaper boys. His brow scrunched lightly as he picked it off, holding it precariously and dusting off all the dirt from it. It was a rich brown color with a bow on the front just at the base of the item. "Alright," he muttered, "This is definitely some girl's... But who's?" He looked around a few moments before his eyes caught onto Lucy's. His brow still raised, though now it was more prominent, he held it up slightly so that it was viewable from her distance, his look alone questioning in absence of his voice.συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : Might I say, JJ, that that was a very good entrance? (And I like the random Rocket appearance on your header. Jena did wonderful in Sucker Punch. XD)

As the handy-woman searched for her cap, sending occasional, affectionate glares at Socket, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. Looking up, she spotted a boy - Oh, what's his name again? Chase. But everyone calls him Copper. I think I'll stick with Chase - holding her hat up in the air with a questioning look on his face. She grinned and skipped over to him, "Yup, that's mine. Thanks a bunch, Chase." She took the hat from him politely and examined it to make sure there was no dust or dirt on it, then she slipped it onto her head, tucking some of the more obnoxious locks of hair under it to keep them out of her face.
When her hair was situated the way she wanted it, she looked back at the boy, or young man in this case, and nodded to him, "Thanks again. If you ever need anything fixed, I'll give you half off." She glanced down when Socket came up and sniffed Chase's shoes and pants curiously. Lucy raised an eyebrow, then chuckled, "You have a dog, don't you?"
As she waited for him to respond she thought about the things she'd heard about him. Most of them just seemed like elaborate rumors, like how he's a secret agent for the Capitol sent here to spy on them. Lucy thought that was completely absurd, and she often voiced her opinion. But then there were the rumors that he was a thief, and that was more believable. Either way, Lucy didn't know and she wouldn't judge. She did know for a fact, though, the most of the girls had huge crushes on him. Sure, he was handsome enough, but Lucy held no school girl crushes towards him. She didn't even know him, and besides, it wasn't like she had a chance anyways. No, it was Nim who was the pretty one, the one that all the guys liked. And that was fine with Lucy. She had a job to do, and that job did not require looking good or being as charming as her sister. Besides, Nim made it easy for Lucy to do things just out of fun. Everyone always had their eye on Nim, but it was rare that someone was watching Lucy.

'I really, really, really don't.' It was only purely coincidence that he felt much more in the mood to perform a small act of kindness in comparison to his usual mischievous misdeeds as a thief in the district. It did kind of feel good to do that instead, but, with the adrenaline kick he'd get out of stealing, it's almost impossible for him to stop. Then she said that, if he needed anything fixed, that she would do it for half off. He gave a small grin and replied, "I don't think instruments need repairing that often, but I'm sure Titanium wouldn't mind a bit of work done when he needs it."
Titanium. Even now, as he said that name, he couldn't get over how odd it did sound. His adoptive father never did tell Copper his real name, anything about his history, and not even how he earned that alias. But, what with the way the elder acted like a gentleman, very few questioned it. He acted like he really cared about everyone within the community, and was so concerned about the existence of the Games. He never reasoned why he was training Copper except that he wanted his help to "stop this horror continuing ever again". And that Copper would need all the prior experience he can get. Trouble is, how did Titanium know so much about the Games in the first place? Another unanswered question.
Copper noticed a little scuffle on the ground and saw Lucy's apparent canine companion, no doubt the one named Socket, sniffing all about his shoes and legs. He chuckled a little as he nodded in response to her, her inquiry more out of confirmation than blatant wonder, by the sound of the tone. "Yeah. Her name's Speckle. Suspected to be a border collie mixed with something else, but we're not sure." He gave off a light smile after the last sentence. It wasn't a lie anyway, and it sounded a bit funny to say... He couldn't help but feel the twinge of apprehension like Lucy was examining Copper, not that he would say it out loud. Years of wandering have made him quite hyper-sensitive to such actions, and he immediately wondered what she could be thinking about him. He had always been conscious upon how others feel about him other than charming, handsome, the rumors, and the thief. It sort of terrified him in a way. The streets do that to a person.συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : Oh, please. I had a maddening girl crush on this actress. I would recognize her from any movie.

Lucy shrugged, taking his modesty in stride, "If you say so, but this hat means a lot to me, so I'm glad you decided to pick it up, even if it was just on a random whim." Her grandfather had given her this hat before he died, it had been her last birthday gift from him. Lucy wore it often, and it had somewhat became sort of a trademark of hers.
The handy woman chuckled, shaking her head and making her brown curls bounce slightly, "Instruments need to be fixed more often than you think. Who knows, you may trip and drop your trumpet. Or lose a pad on your oboe. Or any other number of misfortunes that can happen." Lucy was the princess of misfortune, and knew better than most how often and sudden things could go awry. She was constantly messing something up or fixing something that had suddenly blown out. It was a rather frantic, unorthodox lifestyle but Lucy wouldn't have it any other way. The girl tilted her head to the side slightly as Chase mentioned his mysterious guardian, Titanium. Of course, there were plenty of rumors about that man as well, but Lucy hardly paid them any mind, for they were all on the rather ridiculous side.
Lucy grinned and glanced down at Socket, who had taken up a sentry position at her feet, then the girl looked back up at Chase, "Speckle? That's a nice name. Unique too. I like it." She laughed, reaching down absentmindedly to pat Socket's head, "Sometimes mutts are the best. They have the traits of a lot of dogs." She scratched Socket's ears affectionately, "Can't say that for Socket, though. She's a full-bred German Shepherd. I don't know where or what German was, but they bred some amazing dogs."

"Okay, maybe I'll give it a second think-over if I do hurt my guitar or piano... Thanks." He gave off one of his little grins in response afterward. Copper had heard a great many things about Lucy's mishaps and, though some that were told were far-fetched, it was definitely known around that she had a clumsy streak. It was kind of a cute contrast; being able to (attempt to) fix whatever she breaks or messes up.
'And there it goes with using that word again. "Cute", "cute", "cute". See, this is why I only stick to flirting and not an actual relationship.' Copper couldn't help but give off a mental sigh. He simply wasn't built to trust people enough except Titanium anymore since the Capitol agents took his parents away without reasoning except supposed plannings of a rebellion. It often still frustrated him in his sleep even today, only causing his companion, Speckle, to jump on the bed and snuggle at his side, an always trying to comfort her master. Ever since that day, it's become really hard to trust those around him. And so, Copper can't seem to find anything more in him, when it comes to ladies, than a slather of compliments. And, always, when he starts using "cute", that means he's getting too close; he's starting to notice small things and find an attraction in them... And automatic defense in his brain says: 'Stop. Don't do that.'
Copper was all too glad to be distracted by Lucy mentioning Speckle's name. He smiled, "Thanks. She's got little spots all along her legs and left eye that, when I was little, earned her name from me... Where'd you get the name for Socket there?" He laughed as well as she petted Socket on the ears as she spoke about how the dog's a full-bred German Shepherd, but didn't really know what the name meant, then adding on how, to make up for it, how "amazing" the dogs they bred are. Visually, it seemed that she was right, being that Socket looked in pretty great shape. Speckle, though she is now twelve years old (and that was human years) was in evenly matched shape for her supposedly elder age. And she was one hell of an understanding dog.συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : Lol, nice... I'm more of the into Anna-Sophia Robb - slash - Vanessa Hudgens liker.

Lucy's smile grew a little when Chase chuckled. He looked nice when he actually smiled for real. She nodded once, then grinned, "Oh, I love the piano. Can you play it well?" Her father had always played the piano and had taught her as well. Although for a long time after his death she wouldn't go near one. Then one day her older sister coaxed her into sitting down at the stool and had rekindled her love for music. Unfortunately, nowadays she didn't have much time, if any, for playing.
The handy woman chuckled when Chase described his dog and how she had earned her name, "When you'r a child, sometimes the most simple names are the best." She smiled fondly down at Socket as she remembered the origins of her name, "When I first got her, she was around two months old. I was working on a shortage in a lady's house, and Socket was with me because at that point she would never leave my side. Anyways, I had just cut one of the power wires when this brilliant dog reaches up and sticks her paw in the open socket. I'v never heard a dog yelp so loud, and I swear that's what turned her fur white. It's a wonder it didn't kill her, really." To this day, Socket would sit across the room from Lucy if the girl was working on anything that had even the slightest electrical hum. She had learned her lesson, and was not quick to forget.

Perhaps I can show you a song or two some day." That much was true, of course. He always had a love for music, which was out of the ordinary in the district meant for engineering and not of such luxuries, but his parents had let him, even managing to buy a keyboard for young Copper. That was one of the things he missed besides his parents in the old house of his; the little keyboard that he used to play on when he'd come home from school. It was always comforting to relieve away his stresses on it, and it pained him when he no longer could for such a long time afterward before Titanium showed up.
Copper gave a small smirk. It was true, and sort of crazy, upon what names one could think up when one's only a child. That's the prime time in which the imagination is the greatest, and creativity is key to a kid's amusement and logic. Now, being older, he felt the ridicule that was included with thinking in such ways from the people around him and, at times, even from himself as his creativity would sometimes take over... As Lucy finished explaining the story behind Socket's name, he laughed lightly as he then said, "Well, I'm sure mine wasn't as interesting nor entertaining... Then again, I suppose my own life is rather drab."συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : Shoot, that's solely why I'm glad Vanessa doesn't belong to Disney anymore. She's way better off that way... And Saiorse is so pretty! I loved her in Hanna, and I can't wait to see her as the lead in The Host.

Lucy grinned and nodded enthusiastically, "Oh, please do. I don't know many of the Classical pieces, but I'd love to learn them." The girl usually just made up her own pieces, not having the money or resources to get her hands on the sheet music from years upon years ago. She'd heard of composers with strange, foreign names whose music seemed to live on even to this day, if only to the very rich or well off. Lucy was dying to know some of that music, and Chase's offer was the best, easiest she would get. And he seemed easy enough to get along with, so her time with him would not be painful, at least.
The handy woman shook her head, waving her hand as if to dismiss his statement, "Well now don't say that. That's just one story, and I don't have very many. I bet you'v got tons of stories. Unless the rumors are false." She chuckled lightly, "I can't say that I'll be too disappointed, though. I'd rather know you instead of the stories about you." And it was because of this attitude that Lucy knew the truth about a lot of people who hid behind some facade or another. She had a knack for getting people to show them true selves, even if it took her months or years to do it. Lucy was a patient girl, as one had to be in her job, and she didn't mind waiting for the truth, because she knew that it would come to her eventually.

I think they should have made the Host into a movie, and then the Twilight series [if they really had to. Wish they never would have, though]. Guess they always save the best for last XD Outfit

იxxⒹⒾⓈⓉⓇⒾⒸⓉ ⒻⒾⓋⒺxxი Ş т υ d є и тxxიxxҀ α я є є яxxҬ я ι в υ т єxxიxxϜ σ я м є яxxҬ н ι є ғ"Ever since you broke into me. Ever since you left with the key. I can't open up for anyone anymore." ρ н ч s ι c α ʟ unharmed.xxიxxм є и т α ʟ stable.xxიxxм σ σ d fairly content.
ι и v є и т σ я ч dagger (holstered at belt), and small coin pouch.xxიxxcυяяєиτ συτғιτxxიxxcυяяєиτ sσиɢҀσρρєя smiled at Lucy's enthusiasm. It was great, for once, to see someone who was so interested in listening to him play because, to be honest, it was becoming more and more of a rare thing these days in the age of the Games and what with many people usually too busy working for a living and avoiding the peacekeepers. Why couldn't people just take a break and relax, just like the people before their time: a mixture of hard-workers like District Twelve, just as loving to all creatures and people like District Seven, talented like the ones from District One, and extremely creative like those of the Capitol? The age in which all people were one and united instead of warring... Like those that Titanium's books told of. Or some of the ones given to Copper. An era where they listened to such different genres of music; the universal tongue that brought together people in ways speech, food, and shelter couldn't.
Ah, the rumors. Copper knew many were out there on the streets, and a good chunk of them were all about himself; a mixture of his past, misdeeds, and who he really is. 'There are far too many to keep track of.' Many were, indeed, ridiculous things, such as how he is a disguised peacekeeper or recruiting agent from the Capitol, or that he wasn't really seventeen years old, but something more ancient and mystical. Like he remarked before, pretty crazy things. But then there were slivers of truth: he is the missing son of the Pratt family that ran away from the Capitol agents long ago, that he was a notorious thief, and that he did have a connection to the Games... But that connection was only, in reality, the fact that he really was a career tribute, masquerading about the last seven years as a no-future student who had superb talent in musicianship.
Copper simply gave this small smirk as Lucy mentioned the rumors now, shaking his head lightly as he chuckled, "Believe me, I think a great many are just fancy fairy tales..." But then she spoke that she would prefer knowing the real him. Now that made him grin just a bit. So she's actually interested in taking in actual information and not go to some best friend out there and get the "juicy gossip"? That's a first... Thank the heavens that there is somebody who would be willing. "Well, I'm sure we could arrange something or another, if you're eager." There was a part of him that didn't want to, though, and he knew that. He didn't trust so easily, and his heart was half-made up on only giving her part of the information. But, in the back of his mind, he felt that he could, just maybe, trust her in full. Maybe.συτ σғ cнαмσмιʟє : Lol, right? I can't wait for both be done... And then there are some others along the way. XD I swear, I live for watching movies. And Glee (psh, Faberry until I die).

Lucy grinned at Chase's smile, glad to see that he wasn't upset with the idea. Lucy would be upset if the thought of hanging out with her upset him. She didn't like when people were bored or agitated with her. Well, unless she was deliberately trying to agitate them. That was a different story then. But usually she liked to see people having fun, or at least relatively happy to be with her. Another aspect that made her well like among the district.
She chuckled at his comment, "Yes, most are. Sometimes when I listen to them I feel as if I should be tucked into bed about to doze off to sleep." Many of the stories reminded her of the tales her mother or father would tell her just before bed, when they would read from a big, old book of fairy tales. She didn't knnow the name of the book, for the title had been rubbed out years ago, but she remembered the stories. Some were about princesses (which she really didn't understand. the closest thing to a princess that Panem had was the President's daughters) and some were about witches. Her favorite, though, was the one about the pretty woman who lived with seven little men. That had always entertained her the most, for some odd reason.
The handy-woman was pulled from her thoughts when Chase spoke again, and she nodded enthusiastically, "Eager, willing and able." She wanted to know him more, truly. He seemed to be much more interesting than his stories let on. Lucy could sense something in him that would make him a great friend. If he were willing to be her friend, of course. She mentally crossed her fingers and said, "Well, you know, if you'r not too busy right now, maybe you could show me a song or two? I mean, of course if you have something else to do that's fine. I'm sure someone will break something in thee near future anyways and call on me."
