Mikky had slowly made her way out of the house towards town. Heriom had not been around or at least Mikky hadn't seen him so she figured he might be out already. It was all good because Mikky had some stuff to do. Such as, pick up some things they needed from the markets.
Strolling through the streets, she waved to many people and gave them smiles even if they didn't deserve them. Hailey was still a bit groggy this morning but she managed to keep up a positive attitude as always. Her boyfriend and herself were a bit more well off than some people mostly because they had inherited all the money from their family including houses, one of which was sold for more money. They still weren't rich but they wouldn't die of starvation ever.
Mikky was unsure of what shop to go to first. A few items were needed from most of them but she didn't want to be burdened down while going from shop to shop. Her strength from working with lumber was quite good but it would be awkward to carry such items of different shapes. Deciding to start with some smaller items, she headed toward a market window.
Out. Of. Calm...

d i s t r i ¢ t x s e v e n ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ IN SOLITUDE, WHERE WE ARE LEAST ALONE • • • • xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx• • • •xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx• • • • I hate the Justice Building. Much too many unwanted eyes and far too many peacekeepers. I wanted to go in and sign up for tesserae for the child who sold me a hatchet for a low price. I know his name must be included far too many times this year for a twelve-year-old. I'll try again some other time. The presence of the healthy and superior is quite the most intimidating. I feel as though one act of injustice, say, falling in front of a peacekeeper, would land me with a fine whipping for all to see.
I turn on my heel.
It's still bright out, which I means I know where to find Hailey. The only one I can trust, not including Dwight and Elixa. I walk past the forest, following the narrow gravel path into the market street. I spot the occasional lumberjack and sigh in relief. I don't have to work until dark, which means I can spend my day with everyone else.
The path closes into the market street and the infatuating sight of green bushes catches my eye, no other than mint leaves. I buy two plastic bags and continue my walk towards home. Hailey won't be angry, I hope. I know she loves mint leaves just as much as I do. Naturally, upon purchasing one item, other stock owners attempt to persuade me in buying things I don't need. This eventually brings me to Hailey, who stands near the middle of the street its self. I make quiet steps to her, then slide my arms around her, my head on her shoulder, and I'm sure she can detect me without hesitation.
Without a word and I move one of my arms that grips the bag of mint leaves and bring it to her character.

Dwight Blaine Doom  The market street isn't so crowded like usual. A lot of people come here for trade almost everyday. I find myself looking for Elixa. I've already checked her store; she hasn't return. Maybe she's still picking herbs form the forest.
I'm walking a bit more when I find Haimon and Hailey. My grin proves how happy I am to see them. "Yo, love birds!" I run up to their side. "What brings you guys here?" I've known them ever since I could remember, along with Elixa. We all are one tight group, helping each other out whenever we were in a vulnerable place. I notice Haimon's arm around Hailey's waist and begin to chuckle. "Jeez, guys. Do you have to do that out here? Keep it in the bedroom." I can see the embarrassment on their faces; Hailey's features turning red. My bag becomes a bit heavy on my shoulders, so I set it down next to my feet. "Have you guys seen Elixa? I've been looking for her everywhere." I'm hoping she'll turn up soon. She can of course handle herself, but I do get worried sometimes.

Mikky was about to approach a store with a few items that caught her eye when she felt a presence around her and suddenly there were arms around her and a head on her shoulder. She knew who it was immediately and a smile crosses Mikky's face. "Well Good Morning. And what might this be?" She said as Haimon brought a bag out to her. Mikky took a whiff of it and smiled at the minty scent. "Mmm lovely we were almost out at home." She said before turning to face him in his arms.
Just then somebody else approached who she recognized to be her good friend Dwight. "Shopping of course." She said in response to Dwight's question. She couldn't help the small blush that crossed her cheeks at his comment, but she gave a little kiss to Haimon not really caring.
Dwight was looking for Elixa. Her eyes dart down to the bag he had set down and she assumed that he was headed there to crash. Their doors were always open for each other they were that close. "No I'm sorry I haven't seen her yet today. I'm sure she'll turn up soon though," Mikky said not too worried about Elixa.
Out. Of. Calm...

"Morning." I tell her, gradually letting her face me. Just then, Dwight appears, prompting the most embarrassing comments about Hailey and I. I cannot help but grin. Dwight and I, along with everyone else, have been best friends since we learned to walk. Our friendship is tightly locked, despite the cruel manners of the Capital. Hailey releases herself on count, speaking to Dwight about Elixa's absence.
"I think I saw her," I speak up. "Earlier today, in the forests. After I left the...justice...building...she was there." I speak to Dwight, though my eyes meet the ground. Later I know I must endure Hailey disproving tone. And no one likes that. When she feels cold towards someone, you might as well volunteer for the Games.
Dwight grins at me, then speaks with Hailey once again.

 ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Elixa Brianne White District Seven ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ "Oh, you stop it, Ellis. You're not being a burden whatsoever." I said, ruffling his hair playfully, laughing a slight bit. I could see that he was nervous about seeing the others, and I didn't blame him for it. I was quite the forgiving type, and I hardly ever held a grudge against someone. Perhaps it was because I held my friends so close that I never wanted anything to separate us, and I couldn't even explain how overjoyed I was, now that Ellis was becoming quite a bit more social.
"But don't worry, Ellis, I'll be right here. If it's too much, then just give me a nudge or something." I said in a slightly more serious, but caring, tone, hoping that would help his conflicting emotions calm down a little. We began walking out of the forest, and towards the marketplace, where I quickly made the stop into the back of the herb shop, giving the owner the herbs in exchange for small sum of money. "Alright. Let's go find the others." I said with a smile, lightly pulling on his sleeve, and leading him out of the shop. Once outside, I let go of poor Ellis and spotted Dwight and the others not too far from where we were standing.
"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, Dwight. Look who I found." I said with a pleased smile, motioning to Ellis. ≎≎≎Mood: Friendly≎≎≎Location: Marketplace≎≎≎Inventory: Money≎≎≎

Dwight Blaine Doom I let out a low laugh at Mikky's reaction to what Haimon had said. Someone's in trouble. My mind wanders back to Elixa. "Really? We agreed to meet up here but I don't see her anywhere. Maybe I should check the forest again." I whisper my last sentence; making sure that no one can hear me. Gossip spreads quickly around the market street. If people found out I was in the woods, word would get back to the peacekeepers in no time.
The voice of Elixa makes me relieved. For a dreadful moment, I was beginning to think that someone had caught her in the forest. I turn around to face her and see that she's with Ellis. An old friend. I'm pretty shocked to see him with her. After he won his Games, he was never really the same. We all made an attempt to talk to him in the past but he just seemed. . .empty. It made me upset seeing him like that. As a friend, I wanted to help him out with whatever he was going through, but I guess it's not so easy. Especially after being a survivor from the Games.
When they approach us, all I do is smile. I'm not really sure what to say to Ellis. He looks a little uncomfortable. It almost looks like he really wants to say something. I put a hand on his shoulder. "We missed you, Ellis!" Mikky and Haimon give approving nods and smiles. I think we'd all like to give him a warm welcome. There's no hard feelings at all. We all knew what he went through.

Ellis smiled as she ruffled his hair, keeping his gaze on the ground. Although she told him otherwise, there was still a little voice in his head telling him to retreat. He took a deep breath as they walked towards town, knowing that his old friends were getting nearer. Ellis shook his head at her words, keeping a smile on his face. "You don't have to worry about me." he said, turning his head to face her as he spoke. Again, he felt a bit guilty that she was worried. Ellis was always taught to never show his emotions, that emotions make you weak, so the fact that Elixa could pick up on how he was feeling, kind of bothered him and intrigued him all at the same time. He swallowed and looked forward as they walked.
As they entered the shop, he waited for her to give the owner the herbs that she had gathered in the forest and let his eyes wander around the room. In a matter of minutes she had finished and pulled him outside by his sleeve. "Geez." he said, smiling at how eager she was. Once outside, he rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and rubbed his hands on his pant legs, feeling his hands getting clammy. That was the first thing to happen when he was nervous; clammy hands. Ellis took another deep breath when he spotted Dwight, Haimon and Mikky, trying to calm himself down. "Oh my gosh." he whispered to himself. He knew that he was going to be uncomfortable, but this was a whole new level for him. After he won the games he never wanted to be seen, he knew that the people he loved would be disappointed. Happy that he was alive, but disappointed.
"Sorry. I kept her from you." Ellis smiled once they were with the others, hiding how he felt internally. He stuffed his fingers into his pockets once again, leaving his thumbs in the cold and looked at the ground for a split second, keeping the grin he had on his face. He nodded, listening to what Dwight had to say smiled more sincerely. "Thanks man." he said, pausing. "Not a day went by that I didn't think about you guys." Ellis passed glances to all the people in the group, of course referring to while he was in the games. But after too, when he was being far more than just anti-social. It was a bit cliche, but in all honesty, his friends and family were what kept him from saying 'screw it' and giving up.

Mikky's eyes flashed right to Haimon when he said he had been to the justice building. A slight glare was placed upon him as he looked down and away. Before she can start speaking her disapproval right then and there the person Dwight had been looking for appeared. Their good friend Elixa and she brought somebody along with her.
Hailey turned to Elixa with a smile on her face. "Hey Elixa we were just speculating your whereabouts." She said and then Mikky's eyes landed on Ellis. Ellis had never been the best of friends with them, but they had still been friendly. After his games he had retreated a bit and it was good to see him coming out of his shell.
"Hey Ellis it's great to see you again." She said truthfully. He still seemed a bit reserved but at least the effort was being made to socialize again. You cannot hide from it all forever. Eventually one must come and face the sunshine.
Out. Of. Calm...

I brace myself for a meaningful look from Hailey. Lucky me, she's begun another conversation. She is the voice if us two, I would say.
And to my surprise, unwanted eyes are present. This is very uncomfortable feeling. How do I tell someone I don't feel welcomed, or, for lack of better word, comfortable? And to my shock, Elixa has brought this unwelcoming emotion, though of course, it isn't her, exactly. And yet, it is no one other than Ellis Walling. Walling, if I remember properly, is only known to me for his tactful and impressive skills in the Hunger Games. I have only spoken to him a few times in the past, but for a close bond I feel with Elixa and Dwight, and of course, Hailey, with Walling, I am very assured we are both unresponsive. But I greet him in the warmest way possible. After all, a great deal of effort must be in use for even coming here. The Games have an effect on us citizens like no other.
"Good to see you, Ellis," I say, extending my arm with a smile. "Hardly ever see you."

≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Elixa Brianne White District Seven ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ I could tell that a couple of my friends were a little unsure of what to make of Ellis being there, and I was extremely thankful that Dwight had so easily welcomed him back into the group. I sensed a little hesitation in the others, but that was to be expected. At least they hadn't freaked out when they had seen him, but then again, I don't think I'd befriend someone who was insensitive to others.
"So! What's everyone doing today? I know Dwight, and hopefully Ellis are going to be hanging out at my house for awhile. What about you two?" I asked the cute couple before me with a large smile. ≎≎≎ Mood: Hopeful ≎≎≎ Location: Marketplace ≎≎≎ Inventory: Nothing ≎≎≎ I am wind and hurricane

Ellis smiled and shook Haimon's hand, "Thanks, you too." after an awkward greeting, he stuffed his hands into his pockets, "Yeah." he said, not really knowing what to say about his absence. He could tell that the others were uncomfortable an he couldn't blame him. Ellis himself was uneasy and awkward. His eyes wandered, a sigh escaping his lips. He then heard Elixa. It immediately made him think of where he should be right now, instead of socializing, which was the capitol. He had tributes to watch after in the theater, and so far he hasn't been a very good trainer. Being the most recent victor, it was grossly easy to get Coralie and Randal tons of sponsors, but that wasn't the same as having their trainer looking out for them back home. It was no secret that the last thing he wanted was to watch the games, but he knew that his place was there. "I'll stay as long as I can." he said with a small smile towards Elixa.

 █ Aveynne Grey Sandarbolt █As Aveynne stepped into the 'hustle and bustle' of Market street she became tense. With reaping so close in her mind her senses where already kicking in. Although there was no set chance she would get chosen, with all the tessereae she had, she was bound to be chosen. She sighed heading over to where the bread was being sold. She gave a few shillings (i think that's the currency) and bought the bread. She smiled and waved a small good bye. She found a wall and ripped at the small loaf. She began walking. Her feet where booted and made a clunking sound as she walked. Aveynne was a rather clumsy person. She tripped over her own feet, feeling herself pass through a group of people she caught herself on a pair of shoulders. Looking at the face, at first she didn't know it was the victor from this District. "Thank you, and sorry for running into yo-" she became silent realizing who she had caught herself on. "into you" she restarted from about the ending of her sentence. "Welp... this is awkward" she said looking at the three other people in the group, she smiled slightly.

Darren James Everett (District Seven)  Entering the market street Darren frowned as he knew the reaping was occurring soon and there was a chance he'd be chosen for his district. It was supposed to be a honor to represent his district but it never seemed honorable to kill for past mistakes of people for over a hundred years ago. How much suffering must the districts endure before we start fighting back? Darren shook the thought out of his head like it was poisonous and headed to the bakery.
Crossing the street and opening the door, Darren let a customer out before he entered. The smell of baked delights and fresh bread he his mouth watering and he lick his lips. Finding a cheap loaf that would last him the next few days, Darren pulled out his wallet and past a few coins to the baker, and said "I am going to the forest for herb later, anything you'd like me to grab?"
The baker replied, "The usual if you can find any, it is a bit early for it to grow." The elder man smiled as Darren nodded and waved his goodbye.
Entering the market square again, Darren placed his loaf in the backpack well he headed to the vegetable stand. Mood: On edge.Location: Market square.Inventory: Wallet/Backpack Wearing: CasualThoughts:I hate the games, and that man smells funny.
