"If someone doesnt fess up they'll put us back to work even on our day off-" She looks back towards the door, struggling to tell whether it was an empty threat. She shouldnt have been so reckless and run out. He looks her straight in the eyes. "Don't even think about it Liz. We both know they won't settle for a flogging for such rebellion." After a moments pause he continues, "If anyone is turning themselves in, it should be me. I'm not able to help those that get whipped like you can."

Nobody- nobody is doing anything okay!" She looks at him back, not breaking eye contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh, nothing. The Peacekeepers just got a bit riled up. But we're safe." Lily sits up, hair all tangled, and watches them.

What's our plan for today?" “Well…assuming it was an empty threat…” She still seems concerned. “I suppose I can treat us to a little something.” She grins a little and roots under her bead, pulling out a few coins. It totals to about eighty nine cents. She throws them out on the floor, smiling. “I got them from Miss Aubrey back in District AA.” She whispers to them. “Watered her flowers while she was visiting her son in District Red, snuck out every night to do it.” She boops Lilys nose. “It ought to but each of us an ice cream at least.” Quote For reference things in the districts are much cheaper after the rebellion. Prices for everything dropped after the capitol stopped controlling the economy. So with 85 cents she could buy somewhere between 3-5 small ice cream cones.

Aeoryi she/her Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Celia walked through the streets that were ever-hungry to devour her. Laws were stupid now. Everything was stupid now. The insistence of having everything be different than the previous owners had driven the new leaders right back to the old tyrants' paths. Of course, there were some striking differences, like a brand new electric fence and new rules in each region, but they didn't impact her much. A quick scan of the area indicated that people were finally getting over their initial trauma of separation. Celia personally hadn't suffered much from it, mainly because she chose to accept Azalea's departure, but also because she had other things to keep herself busy. Avoiding Peacekeepers, who wandered the streets looking for innocents to bully, which cause people to generally avoid them. Again, Celia wasn't afraid, because she saw through their lies. She saw through a lot of things, partially because of her truespirit. Keep that Quiet, she reminded herself, They can't know. They don't want to. Truespirits didn't exist here. They didn't in most places, but they did exist. She didn't need to prove that to anyone. Is this how I've become? Is this what Azalea has left me with? Celia didn't want to know. She didn't want to think. She didn't want to relive those days again. Somewhere within, she knew she had to, but she brushed aside that feeling and turned to the world. "Teal and Orange," She spoke out loud, then realized how loudly she said that. It didn't matter. The three simple words had achieved their purpose, grounding Celia to reality far, far away from dangerous thoughts. Teal and orange. Two colored lights. Magic she knew, magic she used before. Magic that gave and took. Magic that sealed memories away in a distant echo. Lights mean nothing here, she told herself, turning towards the sides of the streets. No one knows what you mean. No one will ever understand you. Ever was a bit of an overstatement. She didn't want to be understood. She didn't want to learn, or to grow. She just wanted to be herself. Azalea would've called her stubborn for that, and for once, Celia agreed with her friend's shadow. 6 minutes ago, Canada Lover said: Oradin wasn't suicide last time I checked?
