LAKE PILCHARD || 27 || DISTRICT 4 MENTOR Lake Pilchard is the Victor of the 65th Hunger Games and comes from District Four. Universally loved by the Capitol, hated by his District and many of his peers, and feared by those who don't know him. Most say he's absolutely insane and Lake would probably agree. But he's always been good at saving face

[silverdevore]

Yeah, well most people don’t know fuck all about me. What about you? Most people say you’re crazy. Is that true?

[lakepilchard]

Yes. Probably worse than they ever made me out to be, to be honest.

[silverdevore]

You should be comforted to know that what you see is what you get with me. No one ever said I was unpredictable…

[lakepilchard]

I thought most people were saying you were unpredictable.

[silverdevore]

Actually I totally meant you. It’s so weird that you would know that.

[lakepilchard]

Oh yeah. No way anyone could have seen that coming.

[silverdevore]

That doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.

Maybe I’ll find something else to do…

[lakepilchard]

As long as you don't say you meant me...

[silverdevore]

Almost everyone is gone why do I still have to clean? Why can’t we have a movie night or something instead?

[lakepilchard]

You should know by now how these people are.

Sums it up pretty nice if you ask me since it is quite literally a hole in the ground. Makes two of us. Have you seen my hair? It’s going to be as dark as yours without some sun here soon. Will you feed me if I do? I’m always hungry here, not to mention they have this thing against sweets. It sucks on both accounts. Just don’t make me cook? I’ll watch. I’d blow the kitchen up. You can’t have forgotten that time I tried to cook. Right after my brother died and my mom was being a total space case… I know I was seven but still, the kitchen never did look the same again.

[lakepilchard]

I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off -- I don't think they understand that we weren't built for this claustrophobic lifestyle. We're coastal people. I probably could feed you though I'm probably not supposed to. And don't worry, these people have to deal with horrible enough food without throwing you cooking it into the mix.

[quinnocenceqfabray]

Maybe you should have someone check that.

I’m going to try. Good! I mean everyone should have a chance to be happy and okay even if it’s in this… Whatever you want to call it. I like hole in the ground. It’s okay I guess. Kinda like normal-ish. Not really sure what to do with myself since there is no more training or anything.

[lakepilchard]

I'll make sure we discuss it at my next appointment.

Hole in the ground is probably the closest. I'd prefer to be above ground, it's not wonder everyone here is so pasty -- and my hair is totally not holding up. But yeah, other than that... If you ever need something to do you can come visit me in the kitchens. It's super exciting...

[quinnocenceqfabray]

Wait, did you just admit I’m right? Lake, don’t give me a heart attack.

Yep. Trying to anyhow. I’d rather just be given a bow or a set of knives. So much easier. There is so much to using guns. Anyhow, how are you?

[lakepilchard]

Yeah, maybe my medication is messing with my head more than I thought.

Maybe you should convince them to let you use what weapons you actually know how to use. Regulation or not if they want to be successful they'll probably listen?

-- Ah, I'm doing okay. Actually really okay... What about you? How does it feel to be free in the... what counts for fresh air around here.

[quinnocenceqfabray]

Probably figure it’s better me than one of their precious children and I’m already trained. I’ll be careful, promise. Someone has to stick around and keep an eye on you mine as well be me.

[lakepilchard]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

So, have they been teaching you how to use guns and stuff? I don't remember that ever being something we learned back in the academies...

[quinnocenceqfabray]

Gotta do what they tell me, Lake. Besides what else would I do other than annoy you all day and play dress up with Silver?

[lakepilchard]

I guess. Why do you always have to be in Danger?  Just... be careful. I doubt doing this will be anything like being in the arena...

[quinnocenceqfabray]

Apparently, I’m destined to always be a soldier. Good thing I’m good at it and that sitting in a cell for weeks did little damage to my skills.

[lakepilchard]

Apparently...

[silverdevore]

Well, it doesn’t matter either way. It’s going to be more fun here. Y’know… with us here.

[lakepilchard]

Uh-huh. I'm sure it will be more fun here for a lot more reasons than just that.

[silverdevore]

Everyone have fun at your little raid today. Kill lots of Capitol people — or whatever your goal is. 

[lakepilchard]

I'm pretty sure it's not killing lots of Capitol people.

[babejolras]

[silverdevore]

You learn to make the most of what you’re given. You really don’t seem like you’re doing too bad yourself.

[lakepilchard]

I guess I've been worse.
