rosie despised being in the capitol . fortunately enough , there were so many tributes here that flooded the training center that it was difficult for the peacekeepers & escorts to keep track of them all . the auburn haired girl from district ten had slipped away undetected amidst the chaos , finding a more quieter corner on a couch while all the others were ushered in for training  . the games wouldn’t happen for another few months , closer to a year . she had some time to procrastinate the seemingly inevitable , right ? from the corner of her eye , she saw the suspicious looking male slip behind the piece of furniture . “ really ? the hiding makes you look more suspicious . if you had just sat down beside me , the hat & sunglasses would have been enough . ” her head was angled towards him , her voice a soft whisper . 

“not from the peacekeeper, some of them have known me since i was a baby. the hat and sunglasses were more so people wouldn’t alert them that they saw me go into the tribute center, but looks like that didn’t work.” he said in a soft chuckle. once they were gone he moved back to the front of the couch knowing that it would be a while before the made their way back over here to see if they missed him in this room. “you’re rosie right?” he knew her name because her sister won the last game and also because he was the one who drew her name from the bowl in district ten along with seven others. 

kai couldn’t refrain from chuckling at the youngest snow’s attempt at a disguise. “mhm, all that’s missing is an oversized trench coat and a fake mustache, to complete your cartoon spy aesthetic,” he teased, giving him a playfull roll of his eyes. it would be so simple to just rat him out, and score some points with his family by doing so, but truth be told, kai felt kind of bad for the boy. no amount of money it the world could make being raised by panem’s most problematic family easy. “alright, little snow. i’ll keep my mouth shut this time,” the victor promised, in a hushed voice, when he noticed the peace keepers were approaching the lobby. “but you do owe me one.”

“yeah, unfortunately my brother took those away from me, so i have to go with the ripoff spy version.” he joked with a chuckle. once the peacekeepers were gone he got off the ground and removed the sunglasses. “i definitely owe you for this. i don’t want to think what they would’ve done if they caught me before i told my brother about the situation myself.” while alexander did things that pissed off his family, he knew his brother loved him and would make sure nothing bad happened to him, especially since alexander was just expressing his opinion on things.

There was plenty of time to train and pose and look pretty ( to ruminate the despondency of their situation, as she put it ). She could take a break from it, and even if there was the former small amount of time, she would’ve stolen one anyway. District One, she’d been trained for enough years of her life to warrant some rest as she prepared for what would be the penultimate stand of some. Maybe her, if it came down to it. Victory was written in the stars for her according to some. She wasn’t sure. There was a honey-sweet taste in the idea of not being their glory-girl. Reclined against a couch, there was no soul to play an act for now, she could steal a hollow moment to herself. Eyes shut, she saw nothing, only realising the moment was over as she heard a voice, and the feet of people passing by. Furrow of her brows as eyes opened, not yet looking back, nose scrunched up as she spoke. “Hiding from your stylist or something?” Assuming it was a tribute similar to her, she hadn’t noted any of their voices yet. Her own voice spoke low, as to not alert the Peacekeepers she saw walking past as her eyes opened. “’Cause I don’t see any reason to hide from Peacekeepers. They’ve got to keep us good till the games take us,”. 

alexander could understand why she thought he was a tribute, he was their age and many stylists, prep, or escorts don’t act they way he did. “maybe you, but not me. i’m not a tribute. i’m just a menace to them.” he stated to her. “and their orders for me is different than yours. and i’d rather not be locked away for a year.” he remembered that it was pretty common for alexander’s parents to lock him in the mansion while the games were going on so that he could do something to try to cause unrest over the games. once he noticed the peacekeepers gone he got back up and no longer hid. “and let me tell you, peacekeepers don’t do well when someone puts lotion in their suits, lotion that causes rashes and blisters on their skin.”

it wasn’t uncommon for alexander to be chased down by some anger peacekeepers, either because he ditched his security detail or because you pranked them in someway. unlike his other siblings, he didn’t care about being a well behaved person, if anything he loved messing around and causing his father to get mad at what he did. he would go in front of the camera and insult the policies that the capitol enforced and enforced for decades. alexander didn’t agree with the games or the capitol stealing from the districts to make themselves rich. he got up and sat down next to rosalie and laughed softly at her question. “me a criminal? well it really matters who i you ask. the peacekeepers would say sometimes, my father would say more of a disgrace, and my brother would probably just sigh if you tell him what i do.”

          “  god,  i  hate  this  place.  ”  girl  glances  around  the  event,  watching  as  everyone  fills  themselves  to  the  brim  with  food  and  drink  –  obnoxious  laughs  dripping  from  their  mouths  as  spit  flies  out.  “  they  couldn’t  be  any  more  annoying.  ”  hazel  downs  the  rest  of  her  glass,  setting  it  on  the  tray  of  an  avox  passing  by.  “  i’m  ditching.  down  to  do  some  morphling  ?  ”

aurelia might’ve been a bit naive and overly optimistic, but she knew that other districts didn’t have as easy of a time as the capitol did, so she wasn’t surprised at what this girl said. “i don’t think you are really allow to leave and i’m not really into drugs or drinks or anything like that.” she explained to her.

          “  oh,  that  is  rich.  ”  brunette  stands  to  look  at  the  ensemble,  shaking  head.  “  that  will  not  win  you  any  glances,  i  promise.  ”  hand  rises  to  play  with  a  flap  of  fabric  falling  off  of  outerwear  before  retreating  to  the  clothes  rack.  if  they  knew  anything,  it  was  how  to  compliment  an  outfit.  “  something  less  –  i  don’t  even  know  what  to  call  that.  it’s  just  gross.  ”  they  return,  pink  fur  coat  in  hand.  “this,  this  is  better.  put  that  on.  ”

livia loved to go to daeyon for fashion help, especially when the stylist that was working for the games put her in something very similar to her sister. she didn’t always want to be in her sister’s shadow this year like she has been before. “thank you so much. you are seriously a life saver. no matter how hard it is to tell some people that you don’t like what they designed for you, especially when it’s a play off what they made for your twin, except your twin’s outfit is better.”
