As soon as the countdown hit zero, Nike launched herself off of the platform toward the mouth of the Cornucopia.

The only plan she was able to assemble was to grab one of the bags and hope it was a weapon to use against the other Tributes. Five had been at the top of her list, but the first one she would cross paths with was going to be killed, unless it was one of the other Careers. She ran closer to the mouth of the Cornucopia, scooping up one of the bags. It wasn’t too heavy, which had concerned Nike for a moment, until she was about to make a move away from the Cornucopia itself.

Then she turned to face the boy from Nine, who had already reared back to throw a fist at Nike’s face.

The asshole must have followed her, maybe thought he would get a sweet deal out of grabbing whatever she snatched up. Nike stumbled, but kept a firm grip on the bag. She could taste blood in her mouth where her teeth dug into her lip. The sting of the punch was something she was used to, so she swung her leg up and kicked at the boy’s chest. He stumbled backwards, only for Nike to lunge for him and swing a fist at his face. But the boy saw it coming, bringing a knee up to dig into her stomach.

The wind had been knocked out of her and they rolled, the boy on top of her as another fist connected with her face. And another.

goldie leaped off the platform as it reached one, running full force for one of the shopping bags. but just as she was about to grab it, she caught a glimpse of the district nine (she thought) boy tailing nike. “nike, behind you!” she called, but it was too late. the boy was already on top of nike. goldie grabbed the nearest shopping bag and swung it at the man’s head, knocking him off balance and sending him tumbling to the floor. it wasn’t very heavy, which goldie didn’t appreciate. she didn’t have the strength to use a weapon like this, even if it had been heavy enough to be an effective weapon. it wasn’t long, though, before he stood back up and began to advance on goldie, who kept a tight grip on the shopping bag and began to look around for an actually useful weapon. shit. shit. shit. keep your cool, she reminded herself.

she was stopped in her tracks as she felt her back slam against the cornucopia. well, fuck. the male tribute kept advancing on her, looking menacing. he had the stregnth that she lacked, obviously, and he was pissed she’d knocked him off his other target — her eyes flitted over to nike, who still lay sprawled on the ground, face bloody. goldie made a mental note to go check on her once this tribute had been dealt with. he kept advancing, and she steeled herself. she wasn’t going to be a bloodbath kill, she thought to herself. she wasn’t!

“um, a little help here?” she called, trying to not let her voice waver.

Calix gritted his teeth and pushed himself to run faster as he watched the District Nine male’s fist colliding with Nike’s face over and over again. The relief he felt when Goldie knocked the male off of Nike was short lived as his twin was slammed backwards against the Cornucopia. Calix was mad, but in control, as he ran full force into the District Nine male. Calix plowed into him before the male slammed into the Cornucopia, head first because of the way he had been knocked by Calix. As his head snapped back from the force Calix grabbed the District Nine Male’s hair. “You dumb FUCK! No one fucking touches my sister!” With that Calix began slamming the other male’s head into the wall over and over again until the other male’s body went limp and collapsed and Calix was covered in droplets of blood, panting. He let go of the boy before kicking him over onto his back and then stomping on his throat to make sure he was dead and not just incapacitated. Calix bent down and removed the boy’s hair scrunchie, jacket, shoes, and fanny pack. Calix looked in his shopping bag for the first time. A crossbow and five bolts, he could work with that. Calix put the looted items in his shopping bag and loaded a bolt onto the crossbow before putting the extras back in the shopping bag and stood again with his crossbow. He jogged over to Nike before waving Goldie over. “Come on, we need to get her out of here.” Calix trusted Goldie but not enough to let go of his crossbow. “Help her up, I’ll make sure no one else comes for us.” His eyes scanned around the room.

Calix focused on the large shopping bag as he sprinted as hard as he could towards it. As he grew closer he spotted the male from District Nine heading towards the same bag. Both male’s hands grabbed the bag at the same time. The other male grabbed Calix’s shoulders and tried to knee him in the crotch. Of course it wasn’t comfortable but it was a lot better than if Calix had been cis. He smirked. “Nice try loser.” And with that Calix elbowed the other male in the nose, causing a statisfying crunch. The District Nine male let go of the bag to grab his nose before looking at Calix wide eyed and running away before Calix had time to attack again. Calix was just about to open the bag when he heard his sister’s voice and his head jerk up as his eyes looked around. Then he saw the same male he had just fought off now attacking Nike. Calix grabbed his bag and started to run over wordlessly.

Task:011

The Launch

Calix looked down at the clothes laid out on the metal bench for him in the Catacombs. He honestly had no idea what the arena could be based off of them, although he had a feeling it wasn’t going to be a natural arena. He had kind of figured as much but he was honestly clueless to what the uniform could be signaling. Calix put the clothes on and tucked the hair scrunchie into his fanny pack before stretching his muscles out a little more and stepping into his launching tube. Calix was calm, he was as ready as he’d ever be and so he knew he just need to go out there and do what he was trained to do. If he was worthy of being a Victor then in time that would come. There was no reason to work himself over it. He also knew too much excitement could be harmful so he stayed alert but calm. Slowly the platform began to rise below him. Instead of bright sun blinding him it was softer sun coming through skylights. He looked around carefully, it appeared to be a mall. He could work with that, although he was already sure that there were a lot more dangers in the arena than just his fellow tributes. His eyes moved to the Cornucopia filled with shopping bags. He couldn’t tell what was in them so he just tried to spot a bag that seemed the right size for a bow and arrow set. The countdown began as Calix scanned the pedestals for his allies before looking at Cassia and shooting her a look that told her not to try anything or get in his way. He turned his focus back to the bag he had mentally picked. ‘Three, Two, One...’ Calix’s feet hit the smooth tiles as ‘it’ began.

“Our next guest is the twin brother of our first. Let’s hear your appreciation for Calix!” The crowd cheered excitedly as Caesar waved the boy over, eager to meet Goldie’s sibling now that they’d had the chance to get to know her a little better.

“Now, Calix, it just breaks our hearts here to know that you’re going into the Games with your sister.” Few things invoked a more emotional response amongst the Capitolites. Siblings was only a few rungs below star-crossed lovers and baby tributes as tropes that never failed to draw tears. “Would you mind telling us what your relationship with dear Goldie is like in your own words?”

[calix-angel]

Calix felt calm as he watched his twin’s interview with Caesar from the wings of the stage. He was ready, he had been preparing for this practically since he had been born.

Calix straightened his back, set his shoulders back, lifted his head, and put a charismatic smile on his lips before walking onto the stage when Caesar waved him on. As he walked across the stage he looked to the cheering crowd and waved. Calix shook Caesar’s hand before he took the seat beside Caesar. Calix nodded “Of course! Goldie and I have a great relationship but a competitive one. We have grown up supporting each other while pushing each other to become stronger. I had really looked forward to being twin Victors with her but I guess the Universe wanted only one Belcourt Victor.” Calix looked to the camera. “All I can really say now is I love you sis but may the best twin win.”

TTWTASK 010 ;;  CALIX  BELCOURT INTERVIEW ATTIRE.

                       “ covered in blood red — every careers ideal look.  ”

rubin wanted to take a giant leap away from the typical matching interview outfits with calix & golden,   as that would be expected given their relation.    having never been a fan of the careers,   rubin decided to make a statement that only he would understand.   the red symbolising all the blood he’ll likely be covered in when he’s in the arena.   though it still has the typical district one-isms with an air of sophistication about it.  the top hat  & cane just ooze class &  the sliver glitter sprinkled across his face is a nod to luxury.

[castanheirx]

if there was one thing leon had learned, it was that the academy woefully prepared him for the part of the games where he wasn’t killing someone. he stood in front of an immaculately built shelter and let out a deep sigh. in a vain effort to give his boy a ‘heads up’ leon’s father, uncle and grandfather would often go hunting in the mountainous wooded area surrounding two. their trips would often last a few days and in those days they’d camp but their camps had been made of expensive tents that were easy to put up - nothing like what he was presented with now.

listening to the trainer at the station, he was sure he had a vague sort of idea of what was going on when he saw calix. he waved the boy over with a smile, when he was close enough he spoke, “hey, how you doing?”

@calix-angel​

[calix-angel]

Calix had been walking around, scouting out the other tributes, when Leon had flagged me down and waved him over to the shelter building station. Calix smiled “I’m doing great. Face is a little sore but it could be a lot worse. How are you? You still owe me a night out, you know.” He reminded.

[cashmerelepointe]

Lazily, Cashmere pulled her blonde locks up into a ponytail before reaching for her coffee cup. It was still early enough that most people were sleeping, but she had gotten her run and workout in long before the tributes would be allowed into the training center. The day didn’t feel right if she didn’t start it out in the typical way, whether she was at home or in the Capitol.

Though at the sight of her tribute, she nearly dropped her cup.

“What happened to your face?” She asked slowly and deliberately spotting the bruises that were clearly evident they could be seen from the moon. Tributes weren’t supposed to get into any trouble and they had been there hardly a day. What could he have gotten into already?

More importantly, how were they going to explain this? She did not take kindly to someone making her, and the rest of the team, look like they weren’t doing their job properly. Cashmere did not want to spend the next week babysitting a tribute.

@calix-angel

[calix-angel]

Calix had been hoping no one would me wake yet and he could sneak off the first floor and down to the training center without one of his Mentor’s seeing his face. Unfortunately, luck was not on Calix’s side this morning as he enter the living room and saw Cashmere and the shock on her face. “I, uh...” He figured he should come clean “Ronni from Four punched me.” He wasn’t sure if he should include the fact he might have broken Ronni’s nose in return.

[itsallronni]

calix-angel‌:

Calix had been working on tying some traps and snares. He knew he was well prepared when it came to weapons and hand to hand combat. So he figured it would be best to work on survival skills. He had seen way too many careers screwed over by not being prepared except in combat. “Check it out!” He grinned proudly.

One of the things Ronni was known for back home was his stride. He he had been described by many as having an incredibly arrogant confident air about him as he stalked sauntered from place to place. His chin was always kept high and, when he spotted a woman worth his while, he would often send a nod and perhaps a wink their way. They hated loved it. 

However, as the silhouette of Calix talking to another tribute appeared out of the corner of his eye, he felt his expression sour and his chin point toward the ground. It hadn’t been that long since the incident on the rooftop and the former hadn’t seen the boy from One since then. So, as he walked by the station, he did the only rationale thing he could think of.

“Looks like shit, man!” he yelled from behind cupped lips and offered a thumbs-up as he continued to walk by without stopping.

[calix-angel]

Calix looked over from the tribute he had been talking to when heard the familiar voice. His grin turning to an annoyed tight expression. “Looks better than anything you could make. Even if it did look like shit it’s still better looking than you could ever hope to look.” Calix smiled before blowing a kiss to Ronni.

CALIX AND GOLDIE BELCOURT — TRIBUTE PARADE OUTFITS

inspired by district one’s work with crystals and gemstones for jewelry, this outfit is inspired by geodes — it looks plain at first, but then transforms into a shimmering crystalline look.

thanks to @masondarts​ for collabing with me on this one (i did the sketch; they did lines/colors) and helping me make my vision of the parade looks for calix and goldie come true!!

additional thanks to @calix-angel​ for basically giving me free rein with these outfits and @taintedones​ for letting me run with this idea despite the fact that rubin is our stylist!! <3

ronni

completely sidetracked by the conversation about bloodsuckers, ronni didn’t notice the other blood sucking that was happening besides him. “it’s like, uh… like a creature, right? that sucks blood and stuff. and no, dumbass,” he said with a playful glance at aggie, “not leeches. kappas. ka-ppas.”

leon

leon bit the bottom of his lip when calix announced that leon was ‘exactly who he was hoping for’, and he barely had time to make a comment about it before calix was touching him. he gasped a little when calix touched his waist and almost fell the ground in surprise. but still, he kissed him back and pulled away after a few very long seconds. “i thought we were keeping this little party pg-13?” he laughed even though his face was beginning to warm a bit more than usual.

nike

nike smiled at the small teasing between the fours, taking a drink from her new bottle. her gaze had turned toward leon and calix when leon spoke, her brow raised when she realized the bottle had landed on calix. right, they were playing a game…

calix

Calix released Leon and pulled back when he felt Leon pull back. Calix shrugged “Was that not pg-13?” He made his way back to his spot against the railing. “Leon, truth or dare?”

leon

leon coughed and nodded his head. of course it was. “very.” but if calix had kissed him liked that when it was only the two of them - it wouldn’t have stayed pg-13. “um, i’ve seen belcourt dares, so i’ll go truth.”

// rooftop rapture // pt. 2 //

nike

“there’s always training,” she replied, as though reassuring goldie after her feigned pouting.

aggie

“ronni’s dumb enough to hit. Twenty on Ronni. That’s my district partner!” Aggie yelled, chugging the rest of her drink and throughly enjoying this.

goldie

goldie took a sip from her wine cooler and smiled as nike ‘reassured’ her. “ooh, i forgot! thanks for reminding me,” she said, placing a hand on the girl’s shoulder as if to thank her.

leon

“i said it’d be close!” he yelled back “he’s barely drank too it’s an unfair fight!”

goldie

“if you wanted it to be fair, you shouldn’t have gotten drunk,” goldie pointed out, flipping her curls over one shoulder.

nike

“glad to help,” she replied with a satisfied smirk, taking another drink from her bottle. she was going to need another soon. “it’s fair if they both have the same amount to drink.”

ronni

rolling his eyes, ronni returned his gaze to the boy caught in his clutches. he could hit him right here, right now. instead, he thought about what would happen if he did. peacekeepers be damned, his own allies probably wouldn’t trust him. ugh, but he really wanted to hit him. pushing him roughly aside, ronni brought the jug of tequila to his lips and went to go sit by aggie on the floor. “whatever. just know i won’t forget this, dickhead.”

leon

“come on guys, just kiss and make up - we can’t have pack drama  before we even get into the arena!”

leon

after his conversation with nolie, leon had messaged the other careers to convene on the roof to talk. he had reservations about all of them, even nike but he thought it would be best if they all spoke, got on the same wavelength or parted ways early on. when he made his way to the roof, he saw two outlying mentors smoking, as soon as they saw the handsome district two tribute, they hunched over and hissed before they scuttled back to tend to their poor tributes. as soon as the door opened to the roof again, he turned around and smiled.

nike

when nike had gotten the message, she let out a soft sigh. she had only met one of the other careers earlier upon their arrival to the capitol, aside from leon. but having to meet on the roof and have to make nice? nike wasn’t sure she was capable of it… still, she made her way up to the roof, opening the door and letting the two mentors pass. she glanced toward leon and made her way further out onto the roof. “is it just us so far?”

leon

“yeah, just us. i was going to knock on your door but i didn’t know if you were ready or not.” walking over to her, he looked around. “have you met any other careers yet?”

nike

“i met aggie earlier, she seems all right.” she shared the same eagerness to get into the arena as nike had. she was more than ready to go in and face the other tributes. “what about you? any chance you met the others?”

leon

“ronni, the boy from four he’s… eager. uses a halberd which is an interesting weapon - he’s a sure bet for allying i think but we’ll see when we get into the training centre.” looking at the door and squinting he sighed. “where are the others?”

calix

Calix hadn’t meet any of the other tributes yet, well besides his sister of course, so he was a little surprised to learn that the careers were all meeting on the rooftop. He slipped out of bed and dressed before heading up to the rooftop garden. When he arrived he spied two figures and figured they were who he was looking for. He shoved his fists into his jacket pockets before approaching them and giving them a head jerk as greeting.

goldie

goldie walked up to the roof slowly. she’d heard that the careers were meeting on the roof, and she wasn’t about to miss out. she saw her brother ahead of her — he must’ve just gotten out of the one’s apartment before she did. goldie knew their mentors wouldn’t approve, so she’d waited until they were either asleep or out to sneak up to the roof. she joined the small circle of careers, smiling at them. “nice to meet you, i’m goldie.”

leon

as soon as leon asked the question the boy and girl from one came. leon smiled at both of them, sizing them up. “i’m leon, district two. you two are from one, right?”

goldie

“yup,” goldie said, nodding. “that your district partner?” she asked, nodding at the girl standing next to him

calix

Calix smiled slightly as a polite gesture as he looked both of the other tributes over. “What she said.” He replied as he nodded his head at Goldie.

leon

leon thought it was strange that a brother and sister would compete in the same year but stranger things have happened. “you two met the pair from four?”

nike

she turned her attention toward the door as it opened. a boy and girl emerged from the doorway, the boy only giving a nod while the girl offered more of an introduction. “nike,” she greeted with a small nod of her head.

ronni

ronni, armed with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a jug of tequila in the other, giggled as the elevator took he and aggie up to the top of the roof. he, like the other careers, had received the message from leon. the pair from four took one look at each other and knew what the other was thinking: time for a party. so, the moment the elevator arrived and the door slid open, ronni leapt out and held both containers of alcohol in the air. “wooh! what’s up, guys?!”(edited)

[calix-angel]

Calix looked down at the cups before back up at the figure in front of him with a charismatic smile on his lips. “They gave me two drinks, would you like one?”

[whispersofgrain]

Whisper was just trying to make it  through the day without messing up. she was one of the avoxes tasked with circulation. that meant memorizing orders, going to the cook to relay them, and brining them back. but she knew it was important she did good.

then she was approached by a tribute. oh, what did she do in this situation? she couldn’t refuse him, but she couldn’t take a drink. so she shook her head before pointing at her throat. it was the sign she knew meant avox. she didn’t know PSL, but she knew how to do that. she even mouthed a no, in case there was any misconceptions.

[calix-angel]

Calix quickly figured the girl was an Avox based on her actions and lack of words. “Are you sure?” He asked gently. “If you want it I won’t tell anyone.”

[glitterrosseau-archive]

calix-angel‌:

Calix looked down at the cups before back up at the figure in front of him with a charismatic smile on his lips. “They gave me two drinks, would you like one?”

Glitter was surprised by the question and she paused, looking at him.  “Oh, sure.  Thank you,” she said before reaching to take one.  

[calix-angel]

Calix smiled “You’re welcome.” Calix looked around. “Do you remember your first day in the Tower well?”

[cashmerelepointe]

calix-angel‌:

Calix looked down at the cups before back up at the figure in front of him with a charismatic smile on his lips. “They gave me two drinks, would you like one?”

“Depends on what’s in it.” Cashmere told him honestly as she reached for the cup so she could inspect its contents. Truthfully, she had just wanted to talk to the boy. There had been a lot of questions in her head and it was never too early to get a feel for her tributes.

“I was actually coming to check on you. See how you were doing.” District One was almost all volunteers, so luckily there wasn’t usually much prepping to do. They could get down to business. “I mean it has to be a lot. With your sister and all…”

[calix-angel]

Calix was slightly embarrassed to answered his mentor’s question but went for it anyway. “It’s pineapple juice.” Calix nodded at her saying she had wanted to check on him before shrugging. “It is what it is. I didn’t think it’d happen but I always knew it was a possibility.” He replied trying to not reveal his real feelings.
