Hunger Games: Session 16

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:

Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

Looks like she is.

[ quietly slumping forward onto him, letting her head rest against his shoulder ]

I'm sorry ...

[snugglesnug]

It's okay.

Mm. But even though you really want to try killing someone as strong as Luminosity is, you're holding yourself back for my sake, aren't you...? Even if I'm glad that it means you won't be hurt, I don't want you to feel unhappily either, you know...? Especially - . . .

At a time like this, Doodle, when everything feels so wonderful ... especially at a time like this, I know that, but I don't want to let you go either - you know...?

It's true I don't like holding back, but...

You know, hearing you say what you want... that makes me happy.

[ she looks very briefly taken aback - by the realization that she openly expressed something she wanted, in public? by him saying it made him happy? whichever the case may be, ]

[ she adds, softly, ]

... Then, could I - ... would it be okay for me to ask for something else, too...?

Edited (grammar is hard) 2021-10-09 19:40 (UTC)

Of course. Anything.

Why don't we -

[ there's a like, brief pause as she very clearly seems to be considering what specifically she actually wants to ask for, going from one thought to the other- ]

- Hold hands...?

[takes her hand and squeezes it]

[ squeezes his hand in return, rubbing circles over the crests of his knuckles, slowly and deliberately feeling out the shape in that way that she does - committing it to memory

And, sighed out, ]

Thank you . . .

... You know, Doodle, I think - ...

It would be nice if we were able to be even closer than this, too, wouldn't it...?

[rubbing her hand as well, more focused on the touch than usual]

Mm, it would. I'd really like that.

But -

[ shudders a bit against him, briefly, before shifting her weight some, turning her head to rest against him more comfortably. handholding nice ]

Even though I want the two of you the most, it wouldn't be very good to leave anyone out . . .

Hm? You wanna get everyone together, then?

Isn't that the way that it should be? If we're able to feel this wonderful, or even better than this, then - that's something that should be shared with everyone else too, isn't it?

[normally he'd argue and not want to share anything with people but

[excellent host]]

...Mm, I guess so.

Then we should all be able to join together, shouldn't we? Even more closely than this, you and I and Luci, and Ollie and Eirene, and the others too ...

But I wonder how ... Luci and Eirene both ended up dying, didn't they...?

I mean, just because someone's dead doesn't mean you can't join together with them.

Oh - mm, that's true. We can keep holding him like this, and there are other things that we could do too, but isn't there that ability that they have...? Um - ...

"Flesh crafts?"

Oh, that's definitely a thing. Too bad we don't have any living sensitIVs here.

Mm. Holding onto him like this is the best that we can do, isn't it...

[ giving husb a little squeeze with her free hand, ]

... If we're locked in here now, we couldn't go to find another member of their unit either, could we? Is there anything that you wanted to do...?

...I don't really have anything in particular in mind.

Then ...

Why don't we rest?

Okay.

[leans head on her shoulder and snugs dead husb a little tighter]
