    Suddenly the sand beneath you got squishy… it started to sink, making it hard to run. You are about 200 meters from the ship when your feet start to get stuck. 
     

     

    As you go for the other ship a similar thing starts to happen.

    She does what she has been taught when dealing with quicksand—she leans back and slowly unsticks both of her feet from the ground.

    Does it work?

    Twig glances at Aria and Silver, then takes off across the desert towards a ship.

    Aria sprints off to the other ship, a raucous laugh escaping from her smiling lips.

    A loud voice comes over the speaker and into all DDF ships, so even people in the air or in this case, Aria and Jock can hear them. 
    “This is Madam President.”

    She begins, waiting a moment in between each word.

    ”It has come to my attention that your Admiral has been letting something’s slide…” She hisses.

    ”Luckily you won’t have to worry about your admiral any longer.” A muffled gunshot goes off in the background.

    ”You all are under my control now. Please do not resist or you will die a gruesome death.” Ships suddenly start to fly in, hundreds of soldiers pound up to doors and take the students away. 
    “Any of you in association with… district resistance fighter and leader of the district rebellion, Juanito Lin Schafer, known to most of you as ‘Jock’, will be arrested and thrown into death itself. Also known as the Hunger Games.” Her voice crackles. 
    “Toodles!” Her voice disappears and soldiers rush around, capturing and arresting students left and right. You are all loaded onto a ship and sent into the Hunger Games.

    Jock and Aria stand in the cavern as pilots fly over head, making everything shake violently. He looks over at her for a moment before running up to the rope and starting to climb. 
    no no no- they found me-

    He tries to escape but foot soldiers were already looking for cracks in the surface and soon found the one above them. People were pouring in, looking for the beeping stolen ship. Soon they found both of them and despite their kicking and screaming they are thrown into the hunger games.

    Aria stares at Jock, knowing they don’t have much time left before the games. “Stay safe. And don’t listen to whatever anyone else tells you.” She reaches over and squeezes his hand before they are both taken away.

    He watches her. "You can't go back out yourself... you can't get out of these caverns if you don't know how..." He sighs. 

    Aria shakes her head. "I'm not what's important right now." She grins. "I mean, usually I am. But not right now. Do you have a long-term plan for... you know, what's going to happen for your future?"

  5. Lilac looked around. "This sort of ruins the point of my dramatic death. It was supposed to be all, oh, I'll never see anyone or anything again, but at least I had a good life. But now this?"

    Lilac rolled her eyes. "Please, you were practically sobbing. Be thankful you have sentience."

    Lilac huffed. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was very calm and collected."

    "No. You weren't."

    “I don’t think I want to get rid of you.” He smiles warmly. There is something just different about her that he can’t help but love.

    Aria’s smile falls into something more… serious. “I don’t want to get rid of you either.”

  7. 21 minutes ago, SmilingPanda19 said:

    "I... like you too... it seems." He smiles, crossing his arms. "Of course I didn't choose to- I just did-" He says as he jokingly rolls his eyes. 

    Aria laughs. “Most people don’t choose to like me. I force it out of them against their will.” She grins. “I’m like a disease. Stick around me too long and you’ll soon find me hard to get rid of.”

  8. Just now, SmilingPanda19 said:

    He just smiles at her, in shock with himself. He can't even believe he did that. 

    "I'm so so sorry Aria- I don't know-"

    Aria smiles too. “It’s all right. I… I could’ve moved away. But…” She takes a breath. “I like you. I think. I haven’t really liked anyone before? But. I do like you.”

    He, without thinking, puts his hand behind her head and the other on her waist and pulls her in for a kiss, closing his eyes. 

    Aria’s eyes widen with surprise, but she doesn’t move back, kissing him softly for a moment before drawing away. 

    She stares at him for a second.

    “Um.”

    He smiles at her. "I never thought of it that way... I just did it to pass the time when I didn't want to live those hours out." 

    "And isn't there something magical about that? Art that can stop time, or at least give time a measure of worth to a person?"

  11. 4 minutes ago, SmilingPanda19 said:

    He smiles, blushing a little. “No no- it’s just- uh-“ He puts his arms behind his back. “It’s nice.”

    Aria lightly punches him on the arm. "It's more than just nice." She shakes her head. "You see, there are two kinds of art. One that feels implausible, as though you can't even begin to try to comprehend it. It's far away and inaccessible. And then there's the second: the kind of art that does not draw you away but pulls you closer. It is infinitely harder to create, but when you see it, instead of it demanding something from you it gives you the thing you search for when you find art: a moment of wonder. Your art sparks wonder, Jock."
