Who| Ellis and Open
What| Various Losses and Trials
Where| Various Locations in the Arena
When| All through Week 2
Warnings/Notes| to be updated!
I - Monday: The Forest
Ellis had a gut feeling that the moment his Nick died in the first week, he wouldn't be coming back…permanently. And he wished he felt sadder about giving his friend a proper funeral but it was the inevitable: they all died anyways…some later than others.
Rochelle was lost somewhere but he knows that she could find her way, right? He'd whistle every once, or attempt in the while to try and get some response out of the mess that was the Arena while he camped out with his supplies. Being alone was terrifying, was this what Nick felt when he had to slog through the tundra? He's helped a few Tributes here and there but he always retreated to the Forest…and up on the trees.
II- Tuesday and Wednesday : The City
Holy shit, zombie dogs Ellis was pretty damn sure that's what he saw when he wandered into the City portion of the Arena. Zombie fucking dogs, because the Universe wasn't cruel enough! He does his damnedest to stay out of the Cerberuses' paths and away from the creepy skin-bound monsters that moved so strangely. The Pizzeria was a tempting lure, maybe there was something left?
Should he see anyone head inside, El will trail behind them and see if the coast was clear.
The Avengers Tower bore no hope or mourning for Ellis, he merely tried his best to sidestep and avoid getting shocked as he searched for anything usable from the rubble.
III - Thursday : The Desert
"Holy shit, that's a goddamn car."
It was a highly modified car, but it looked functional and El's mechanic mind was already thinking of ways to start it up. He doesn't know if anyone's tried to hotwire it but this is what he is drawn to.
It's not until a tiny nagging voice takes over his mind, his rarely used common sense as it turns out, that he backs away from the car. It's too damn easy, he could ride the Arena out and keep Bambi Nick safe…but at what cost? Noise? Was there a trap?
Other structures are explored but Ellis isn't letting go of that stupid car.
IV - Friday: The Center
The bodies were gone but the blood trails still remained. Twelve native children died in this place and it felt…unnerving that they would never come back. Ellis took off his hat in reverence as he scavenged the area but this was an exercise in futility. There is nothing left in this place, just the echoes of children scrambling and the radio static he can't quite place.
All these babies will never go back to their parents…Rest in peace.
He doesn't linger here too much: he just wants to give his friends' last resting place a quick visit before he has to go again.
