Eluuna smiled sadly, taking a quivering breath. "We'll be ok." she promised. She hoped it was true. She got pushed into a seperate room, and waited. - - Auto Merge - - Soon, they were on a train to the Capitol.
((Sorry had to eat out for dinner)) Iron looked at Eluuna "So.... maybe we didn't do so great in the reaping but at least we are already friends so we can already trust each other? Right?" Iron said
Iron looked down when he had heard of family "Well I guess I had a good family," he mumbled, "Great parents and brother until he got sent to the Hunger Games my parents were such in grief they got sick and you know the rest of the sob story,". He walked over to the far side and started to play with the food while he was gulping down his emotions and an aching pain went to his chest.
Eluuna bit her lip. She trotted forward. "I'm.. sorry. I shouldn't have asked. If it's any consolation, my father died before I was born, and my mother died during fillybirth. You aren't alone." She hesitantly put her hoof on his shoulder. - - Auto Merge - - ( I gotta go. Be back in about 45 minutes. That ok?) ( ya there?)
Iron looked at Eluuna and back at the table and slowly put his face into the table and started to cry silently he had thought he already got it out of his system but now that someone was actually talking about it with him he started to let out more emotions than he could handle. Iron tried to gulp them down but then it came right back out he slapped himself a couple of times and he stopped crying but his face was still on the drenched table cloth.
Eluuna sat quietly. When he was finished, she said, "Is that why you were building things? To protect yourself from the same fate? "
Iron opened his eyes to fell his face wet with tears and was staring into blackness "Yes I just don't won't my blood line cut off from existence because I was to weak to defend myself I always built so I would have less of a chance of getting into the Hunger Games but for some reason fate said NO! I'm going to put you in this stupid GAME! Because I feel like BUCKING it!" Iron yelled. The room fell silence for a couple of minutes and Iron spoke again "I'm sorry I don't go on emotional outburst like this it's just I never talked to anyone about my family,".
Eluuna smiled gently at him. "It's fine. But you know, all the cakes, and all the machines in the world, they can't protect you from destiny. Maybe it's your destiny to be the one who survives. I know mine is only to make cakes.. But you might be able to achieve it." she said quietly, as a stallion walked in.
(On the most random note, and in an extremeley irrelevant manner to the current roleplay, Gelat, you are awesome for liking Homestuck.) Gea woke up from a rather terrifying dream. Her youngest brother had been chosen for the games in the dream. That can't happen. He is too young. I'll probably be chosen though... She felt a serious sense of foreboding. There was no fighting it.
Iron looked up to see some stallion had walked into the room with them "It is probably our mentor," Iron thought he wiped away the tears face and tried to stay calm in front of the mentor.
The stallion glanced over them. "Hmm. Skills?" Eluuna trembled slightly. She had been fairly brave so far, but this pony scared her. "Um.. I can make things out of nature." she murmured. "Bah!" the stallion spat. "What if there is no resources? What then?" he sighed. "You'd better be pretty damn athletic, kid, or you'll be dead in the first 10 seconds. Whata 'bout you?" he turned to Iron.
Iron looked at the mentor and he had a felling that the mentor he and Eluuna had was a bit too mean for their taste "Um... Well I can build stuff I guess and my magic is pretty strong I guess me and Eluuna are both creators I think that could help us,".
"Hmm. Better. Physical attributes?" Eluuna piped up. "I have strong arms. I was a baker.." then she shrinked back a little. "Baker.. Fights cakes. Tribute, fight PONIES. Think about it. Train on it." Eluuna was small now. You got the feeling she hated disappointing people. "You?" he asked to Iron.
Iron gulped "Well... I'm not the strongest of ponies but I can still run and such but not that fast but my magic is very powerful I have been crafting and building gears, wires, and tools so I am have very accurate and precise,".
Gea took a deep breath as the bells ran out. Reaping time... She walked out of her house after a massive group hug with her four younger brothers, the three oldest following her to the courtyard, where the stage was just waiting for a certain overly-done-up capitol pony to call out the victims of this year.
Pink Pushie stood in front of the Crowd. "Welcome, everypony! Let's start with an official message from the Capitol!" The boring old movie came on. Everypony sighed.
"Every time the same old movie.needs updating" Robin thought to himself as he then trotted up and stood next to a White Maned Pegasus mare. "so your gea the butchers daughter right. The names Robin hoof. Me and my father and brother provide him with fresh game. It's finally nice to meet you". He then turned his head round to the the stage as the movie drew to a close and pink walked back to the podium. "well, good luck gea".
Pink Pushie wiped her eyes. "I just love that!" she sighed. "Mares first!" she dipped her hoof in and pulled out... "Geanna ~~~~~!" she called out.
