Flora Curt

District 2 Just because I'm feminine that doesn't mean I will not slice your throat open.

Gamemaker Announcement:

You spot a small patch of what appears to be moss on the ground.

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes carefully wiped her arrow over the moss and examined it closely. She looked for spores and unusually discharge and smells. If she sensed nothing wrong with it she picked it up and pocketed it and moving along looking for some plants she recognised to have medicinal uses. She walked slowly looking through the trees and bushes with her bow and arrow loaded in case of an attack.

She turned back and looked at Flora, “Do you recognise any of these plants? Anything to eat?”

[flora-curt]

Flora looked around in the opposite direction, trying to find something to eat. "I'm not sure. I didn't payed that much attention to the eating plants class," she shrugged. "The teacher was unbelieving boring and I didn't felt like listening to him." Flora kneeled on the ground, moving the little branches and leafs, trying to find something else. If they found something she could finally go back to Pace. For that moment it was all she needed.

Going Back || Flanes

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes shook her head as she watched Karina kill herself, but at least she died on her own terms. She yanked her arrow free and cleaned it with some tree moss before putting it back in her sheath. She looked over at Flora who seemed, not so much distressed at Karina’s death but disappointment that she didn’t deliver the final blow herself. She winked at her and smiled faintly.

“We best get back before the boys start to worry about us, and plus we need to find something to eat and medicinal herbs, we can’t come back with nothing after being away thing long right?” she placed her hand on her shoulder and hugged her briefly before smiling and walking back the way they came.

[flora-curt]

Flora was surprised when Canes hugged her and she smiled truly, happy she did it. "I have to admit I thought they would be here trying to find us by now," she shrugged. "Maybe we can find something in the way there. Or maybe the boys received a sponsor gift..."

Flora kept walking by Canes side. "We probably should rest too," she said with a yawn. They haven't rest or eat since they entered the Arena. It wasn't a smart move to keep moving around, in risk of find someone that could give him a little more of a fight. Continuing down the path, Flora looked around, trying to find something that looked like a medicinal herb or something they could eat.

Going Back || Flanes

After watching Karina kill herself in front of her eyes, Flora was a little annoyed. What kind of career was she? What kind of eleven scored girl? She just allowed her to kill herself, loosing all the fun and probably letting down everyone who was watching. She probably didn't even had any sponsors...or, if she did, they would be too disappointed now. Sighing, she looked at Canes. "You should go now," she said, touching the place were the wooden plank had hit her. The small bump on her forehead was barely noticeable, at least that. "The boy may need us and I'm getting sick of this place." Flora was too fed up to be nice and she was still worried about the canon they had heard.

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcement:

Karina’s blow misses completely, and she lands harshly to the ground. Blood leaks from her arms and her body is stunned by the fall. Please deal the final blow. 

[karina-perthshire-d8-deactivate]

Forcing herself up, she notice she grew weaker by the minute. Letting out a laugh she looked at both girls and raised her arrow. “Do me a favor girls……Kill district four male for me….painfully.” Raising one of her hands she saluted them and got in her knees and close her eyes. “I love Joshua…” she whisper to herself and hoped that the girls would do what she had asked for. That was all she cared about. Smiling she took her last breath and drove the arrow threw her heart. Ending her life herself.

[flora-curt]

Flora looked at Karina, too surprised to say something. When Karina drove her arrow into her heart, Flora laughed cynically. Suicide? Really? She wasn't expecting that at all. Smirking at her lifeless body, she saw her own options in perspective but quickly allowed that thought to fly away. "She kills herself and asks her for a favor? What is wrong with kids this year?" 

[flora-curt]

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcment:

Karina wobbles her way to the tree and starts climbing. She gets a few feet in the air as the whip slashes open her foot. She climbs a bit higher, reaching 8 ft as the arrow flies into the tree, nearly hitting her head.

[karina-perthshire-d8-deactivate]

Making her way up the...

[flora-curt]

Flora and Canes watched Karina with surprise on their faces. What was that girl doing? When she jumped Flora looked up before jumping to the side to avoid the blow.

[flora-curt]

Flanes vs. Karina

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcement:

Karina has the arrow knocked out of her hand and starts getting up, only to be greeted by a kick to the knee, causing her to wobble.

[karina-perthshire-d8-deactivate]

Wobbling she tried to regain her balance. Bending down she grabbed a bunch of pieces of grass and a nearby stick. Without second thought she threw the stick at Flora and the grass at Canes in attempt to distract them. Turning around she ran to the nearest tree and began to climb it but not before she picked up a sharp looking rock. If she was going to die she rather do it herself than die in someone else hand.

[flora-curt]

Before Karina started to run away, Flora swing her whip, attempting to hit her and make her fall to the ground. 

[flora-curt]

Flanes vs. Karina

[connergalesford-deactivated2013]

Karina screamed as she was yanked out from underneath the bush, gripping her piece of wood and swinging it towards Flora’s face. The arrow pointing through the wood was one extra little insurance policy she had against them. She might be outnumbered but at least she could take out the girl’s face before Canes took her out with that arrow pointed at her head.

She could die happy if it meant she messed up Flora’s face for that Career she was screwing.

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcement:

Karina throws her wood plank forward, hitting Flora in the head. It provides little damage, but results in Flora loosing her grip on Karina’s foot. In that split second, Canes’ arrow is unintentionally launched, piercing through Karina’s left hand.

[connergalesford-deactivated2013]

Karina screams, pulling the arrow from her hand, moving so that her hand is hidden in her vest. Biting through the pain, Karina stabs forward at Flora’s ankle in an attempt to stab her.

[flora-curt]

Flora stumbles back slightly when the wood plank hits her in the head but quickly gets her smirk back. "You shouldn't do that." Quickly, she tries to put her foot on Karina's neck.

[flora-curt]

Flanes vs. Karina

[connergalesford-deactivated2013]

Karina gripped the length of wood in her hands, scrambling backwards as the footsteps drew ever closer and the unmistakable twang of the string of a bow being pulled back.

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcment:

The arrow flew forward, slamming into Karina’s wooden plank.

[flora-curt]

Flora grinned when she saw the girl. They could have some fun, right? Her first kill needed to be special. Searching on the ground, Flora grabbed Karina's foot, pulling her out of the bush with a swift move. "Oh look who we have here," she mocked, putting a hand on her waist and folding her other arm, so her whip was behind her back and she could strike a quick blown at any time.

[flora-curt]

Flanes vs. Karina

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes kept her back pressed against the wall and her bow loaded, she peaked round the side of the tree and was mildly disappointed not to see Karina out in the open, at least she was smart. She looked around for a rustle of leaves or something, anything that looked misplaced to give away her exact location so Canes could shoot.

[connergalesford-deactivated2013]

The two girls that hung around the Careers. She knew what they were capable of, shifting further back into the bushes a small whimper escaped her mouth before she could hold it in.

[flora-curt]

Flora was looking around and exchanging glances with Canes when she heard a small whimper. She could see by the look on Canes' face that she heard it too. Walking on her tiptoes, she got closer to a bush, noticing the sound came from there. 

[flora-curt]

Flanes vs. Karina

Flora slowly surrounded the tree, one hand grabbing the whip and the other touching the cable of one of the knives, ready to throw it if needed. When she was on the opposite side of the tree, she looked around, trying to spot Karina in the middle of the green sight.

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes listened intently again and she heard a faint rustle of leaves and she smiled at Flora.

“I think we’re near something, how about we head near the rock formation, I think we’ll find something good there.” Canes walked across the floor looking for familiar healing plants, leaves or herbs on the way. She looked at Flora and smiled softly, they both knew that the boys were fine, but they couldn’t help but be worried.

[the-district-games-deactivated2]

Gamemaker Announcement:

As you move, you start to hear small foot steps.

[flora-curt]

Flora looks around as she walks, trying to find something that was memorable to her. She was a little useless when it came to healing plants, but she hoped she still remembered a few from class. When Canes smiled, Flora smiled back, her worries calming down progressively. They needed to find something to help the boys with. 

Suddenly, she heard foot steps getting closer and grabbed her wrist, pulling her so they could hide behind a tree. A grin formed in her lips when she saw that defenseless girl from training. Karina, she thought that was her name. Turning to Canes she winked. It was finally time to have a little fun. 

[flora-curt]

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes was as worried as Flora but right now they needed to think rationally for they didn’t know who’s cannon had fired. She looked at the path they were on and then back at Flora, deep down she knew she had to continue but she didn’t want to.

“Alright let’s go back, quickly. If it was them I want to be able to catch the bastard that did it”

[flora-curt]

Flora nodded at Canes. She felt stupid for being so worried, but her heart was racing. Pace was okay, he had to be. Taking a deep breath she calmed herself down. "Believe me, that bastard will have the most slower and painful death Panem have ever seen," she grinned. No one should dare to touch Pace nor Slate. The girls wouldn't have mercy and Flora knew it.

They started walking quickly, watching their steps, so they could hear everything that was happening around them and so that no one knew they were there. Flora could see the dirty ground when she heard something. It was a change of wind, or a foot stepping on a branch but it was something and it wasn't far from them. Flora grabbed Canes' shoulder, motioning for her to hear closely. 

[flora-curt]

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes loved how Flora and Pace tried to hide how they thought about one another. The subtle glances at one another, she could see how hard they tried not to show their affection, it was almost cute if she didn’t think about the repercussion of what showing love for someone in the Hunger Games could do to you, the idea of someone hurting Slate to get to her made her physically sick but after the things she’s heard, other tributes have been using her to get to Slate a lot. 

Canes scoffed, “Of course they’re talking about us, you not what boys are like…” she said laughing, “Doesn’t mean we can’t talk about them… does it?” a few seconds later the sound of a cannon ricocheted off of the cave walls and she stopped speaking and walking immediately. She gripped her bow tightly and lifted it up before turning around and looking at Flora, she pressed a finger to her lips before whispering. 

“It probably won’t be them, they’d be more than one… but someone could be close.”

[flora-curt]

"It kinda of does...Gossip is fun and we-" Flora's words were curt short by the sound of a canon. She raised her whip high and took her hand to one of the knives, looking around. Seeing nothing hidden in the darkness she hit the ground with the whip, in frustration, making some leaves fly. 

What if it where them? There's a chance, a small one, but still. Her stomach sank in her body. She looked at Canes with worries in her eyes. "We need to go. We'll try to find food later," she said, wanting to believe in Canes words. "Now, we need to find them."

[flora-curt]

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes smiled back at Flora, she was kind, well the side she had shown to her and it was nice to be in the company of someone else. As Canes kept walking she saw the change in the floor and smiled.

“Yeah, we’re close… it’s going to be dark out though. The boys will probably be worried” she said chuckling slightly at the end. She kept trudging slowly and a thought crept into her head.

“So, like… what’s between you and Pace?…”

[flora-curt]

"We need to find something. At least to take care of their wounds," she said. Her ears and eyes were focused but her thought flew away for the Cornucopia. Why if someone had found them? No, if someone was able to defend themselves it was them. "But I bet they are. And I'm worried too."

When Canes mentioned Pace, Flora smiled. "There's no need trying to hide it, is it?" It was more than notable that she felt something more than just physical desire. That they felt something more. "I really like him," she shrugged, wanting to say more, waiting not to ever shut up about him. "I love him," Flora whispered, lowering her head. It was nicer than she thought, to say that to someone besides him. "You know they are probably talking about us..." That surely seemed like someone they should do. A manly talk about them. Flora laughed at that idea.

[flora-curt]

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes laughed when she heard Flora’s comment about her and Slate, she had felt the same way.

“I didn’t think we would work out either, he’s very… enigmatic… I feel like I find new things out about him everyday and I hate the fact that they’ll never be enough days left for any of us… You telling me that was probably the biggest favour someone has ever done for me… Thank you Flora”

She lowered her head and walked west with her, let’s hope we find something interesting….

[flora-curt]

She smiled. She liked Canes, she was a nice girl that had surprised her in a good way. And strong too. Flora was definitely happy to have her as an ally. "I'm happy I helped," she said, in the most gentle voice she could. Then the idea that none of them had enough days made her cringe. But she decided to keep that thought far away, until she would lay down and she couldn't fight it anymore.

They kept walking, until the muddy floor started to be covered in leaves. "I think we're close to find something," she said. Flora just really wanted to go back.

[flora-curt]

A nightly adventure || Canes + Flora

[canes-11-deactivated20130317]

Canes kept walking but slower, “Well, a moss would be good, something absorbent but we need to make sure that it doesn’t have spores, it means it’s poisonous errrr…” she looked around for other people, not being able to help herself she could feel herself becoming paranoid.

“Moss would be good yeah, leaves, but it depends on what it is… We need some water soon too. Vines would be okay too to keep the moss in place but I’m not sure about the environment so we’ll have to wait and see I suppose”

Gamemaker Announcement:

Walking away from the Cornucopia, you have three options.

A) Head South B) Head East C) Head West 

[flora-curt]

"Okay, I will keep my eyes open then," she said. Then and uncomfortable silence set in again and Flora coughed a few times, trying to think about something to say. "I have to admit I thought you and Slate would never worked," she gave her a little smirk. "I was glad I told you what I did during training but I'm more happy you two made it work." She really was. It was nice to see that Pace and her weren't the only careers falling into the traps of love. 

Looking around, Flora stopped for a moment. "Let's head to the west," she said, in a low tone, still thinking that someone in that Arena was hearing them. "I have a good feeling about it," she laughed.
