12 Days of WIPmas - Day 5

The first chapter of They Are All Fire (And Every One Doth Shine), a 39 Clues/Hunger Games fusion.

Chapter 1  - Omnium Rerum Principia Parva Sunt (The beginnings of all things are small)

Capitol

When Ian wakes, the apartment is entirely silent. Natalie is still sleeping (she seems to hold the odd belief that sleeping ten to twelve hours each night will magically erase her unibrow and the spots on her chin), and their parents are, of course, at Games Command, where they'll probably remain until the victor's train leaves. Ian stretches, checks his bedside clock - he's got an hour until the very beginning of One's reaping and two and a half until people will start to arrive for their watch party - and rushes to the bathroom. Natalie will probably want to take one of her absurdly long showers once she wakes up, and it takes forever to get his hair right.

Forty minutes before the first guests will start to trickle in, Natalie swears and rushes into the bathroom. Ian rolls his eyes; of course his sister would leave becoming presentable to the last moment and him to do all the prep work by himself. At least they prepared food in advance this year, so all he has to do is lay out the snacks around the screen room and the drinks along the PermaCool strip in the kitchen island. He doesn't bother to turn the screen on; the first two reapings of the day are almost always dull, and if something vaguely interesting manages to happen - if no one comes up to volunteer, or if the fights for the volunteer spots are more violent than normal - it'll be on the recaps.

Natalie, wearing a yellow dress covered in feathers, finishes getting ready and claims her favorite seat on the middle couch less than a minute before Chrissy comes in with a cake from Silversmith's, which she immediately sets on the kitchen island. It's only a one tier high, but even a one-tier cake from Silversmith's costs almost a months' (for Chrissy, probably closer to two months') allowance, and it's chocolate raspberry, Ian's favorite.

"Have you seen what's happened yet?" Chrissy asks.

"No," Ian says as he turns the screen on. Currently, the female tribute's name has been called in Two, and the race to get the coveted volunteer spot is turning into an all-out catfight, complete with hairpulling.

"Should we have?" Natalie asks. On the screen, a lithe girl with scratches on her face and a blood-stained handbag is announced as tribute.

"The boy from One this year is adorable," Chrissy says. "Not that you'd know adorable if it hit you in the face. Natalie, what are you wearing?"

"Next season's trend," Natalie says. "My dress is from Valentine Greene's latest collection, and I saw one of the stylists wearing a violet one the other day at Games Command. I'm not Chernova, Chrissy; I do have some taste."

"Sure you do," Chrissy mutters under her breath as the door opens again and more people trickle into the Kabra's penthouse apartment. In Two, a massive blond boy literally wades through the competition. The escort quickly announces him as Hamilton Holt, District Two's male tribute. There's a shot of the pair walking into the Justice Building, well-wishers and visitors already swarming around it, before the seal of Panem flashes across the screen and the feed cuts back to the commentator's desk. The pair of announcers at it right now, Calpurnia Young and one of the younger Heavensbees, are new to the Games and more or less passable; they're saving Caesar and Claudius for mandatory viewing tonight.

"Well, Hamilton Holt is certainly representative of the strapping stock District Two offers," Calpurnia Young, known to frequent the Victor forums (but not to partake, to the best of Ian's knowledge, not that he knows much) says. "I'm being informed that he's only seventeen years old, having skipped the last year of his training for an early Games showing! However, my bet's still on Sterling from One to take the crown."

"And this is a quick reminder that you can start placing your bets at your local Credit and Loans Center at noon Capitol standard time, after the District Twelve tributes have been announced," Heavensbee junior says. Odds may change, and standard interest rates apply. Now, on to District Three, land of technology! District Three was founded shortly after the founding of Panem, once it became clear that salvaging civilization would require specialized technology that couldn't be built in the Capitol…" Ian yawns; he hates the mini history lessons at the beginning of each reaping.

***

District Three

The sky is overcast on Reaping Day, dreary gray clouds promising rain, and Main Street is packed. Narrow aisles separate the holding pens, which are divided by age (eighteen-year-olds in the front, twelve-year-olds in the back) and gender (boys on the left, girls on the right) to allow the tributes to get to the stage in front of the Head Office quickly, but there's no other empty room in front of the cordons that parents have to wait behind. Peacekeepers stand in a straight line in front of the cordon and along the side streets, their expressionless white masks impassive. They get edited out of the outgoing coverage, Sinead knows - their presence is unusual, she infers  - but she's long since gotten used to the solid line of white-armored bodies. They've been doing this since she was eight, after all, since Maxwell Young got called, since the tiny twelve-year-old tried to run away and his parents tried to help him. (Since Sinead's mother tied the scarf holding her hair back around his face and Sinead's father took hers to do the same and they both told her and her brothers to stay together and go home and neither he nor Mom came back.)

Sinead glances across the aisle at her brothers. They're only fourteen, and even with all three of them taking out the maximum amount of tesserae, so is seventy percent of Shop Four, most of whom have larger families. The odds are in their favor. Any risk to them should be balanced out by the weight of the bodies in front of them and the mound of hers and Ted's productivity credits.

(It's just that the tributes the past five years have been… anomalous. Edith Young, Maggie Clarke, James and Frankie Williams, Kelvin from first shift, Thomas Swan the manager's kid, living in the lap of luxury without a need to take out tesserae… all of them had relatives - parents, aunts, uncles - implicated in the Young incident and shot for treason six years ago. Those odds are much worse.)

Their escort, Aurelius, is in his usual getup - gold wig to match his gold eye jewelry, shiny gold suit, and sequined gold shoes that look like they've never touched dirt - and plunges his hand into the ball with his usual amount of gusto, barely taking time to say "ladies first!" beforehand.

For a second, the square is totally silent. It's as if District Three is collectively holding its breath. Then -

"Our female tribute is… Sinead Starling!" Aurelius shouts, and Sinead gulps. She resists the frantic urge to straighten out her reaping outfit (otherwise known as the last set of work clothes she owns that don't have holes or non-matching patches) as she slowly, carefully, walks up to the stage; fidgeting will not help her here. Aurelius stares down at her like she's some strange bird; from here, she can see his irises, too, are tinted gold.

"And our male tribute is… Ned Starling!"

No. Dread pools in Sinead's stomach. A year ago, the card would have only evoked resignation that she would have to watch her brother die, but a year ago, her triplet brother hadn't mouthed off to Peacekeeper Willis and gotten a baton to the back of the head for it. A year ago, Ned wasn't stuck in bed with headaches for days at a time, and even if they can keep those secret during training, managing them would be impossible during the arena. Ned would die, and it would be Sinead's fault, and Mom and Dad told her to look after them (but it's Dad's and Mom's fault that they're in this goddamn mess in the first place because they decided to disobey an implicit Peacekeeper edict) - 

"I volunteer," Ted says, shaky but certain, and Sinead clenches her fists so she doesn't cry. "I volunteer as tribute."

"Well, what an exciting turn of events!" Aurelius says. "We haven't had a volunteer in forever! What's your name, young man?"

"Ted Starling," Ted says.

"Oh, that means he was your brother!" Aurelius gasps, eyes wide. "And our other tribute - Sadie -"

"Sinead," they say in unison, teeth clenched.

"Is your sister! Is that so?" They both nod. Aurelius claps his hands. "What a delightful, delightful games we'll have this year!" He makes them shake hands; they only cling a little. The cameras flick off, one by one. The Peacekeepers start to lead them inside. And then the crowd, which had been struck silent by a most unusual reaping, starts to scream.

***

Capitol

As the coverage switches from District Three (two teenagers, both with fiery red hair and emerald green eyes, jaws set and heads stubbornly raised - they look like statues on the Road of Honor, like figures in one of the murals in the Hall of Heroes, like proper Panem citizens, not dirty district kids who will be dead at each other's hands in a week) to Honorius Heavensbee's nattering about odds (as if this had anything to do with chance), Ian turns down the volume. It'll be at least fifteen minutes until Four's reaping starts, and although that occasionally turns up surprises, it's still not good TV.

"So," Chrissy, flung out across Ian's third favorite couch says. She's sipping at a pomegranate cocktail made with Trinket vodka - only the best for the Kabra family, after all. It looks more than a little like blood. "Sibling tributes. You've been holding out on us, Gameboy." Ian grimaced and picked at his piece of cake.

"Chrissy, you know Mom never says anything until the Games are over," he says. "She's not as dumb as Crane, for Treaty's sake. And tribute management isn't her department until they're in the arena." At least, it wasn't until her most recent promotion; now, Ian's not sure. (He hopes it isn't. Mostly because he doesn't want to think of his mother as deciding explicitly which kids out of thousands deserve to be offed so the Peace can be preserved. Sure, volunteers can come, but unless they live in One or Two or Four, they won't. And the Chosen are never from One or Two or Four.)

"Still… any more surprises this year?" It's Chernova, who's wearing an emerald sequined dress (to complement the District 1 synthetics implanted into her cheeks as a birthday gift - Lilya's parents let her get alterations, Natalie constantly whines) asking this time. Natalie giggles.

"You'll just have to wait to find out," she says. Ian rolls his eyes - he doesn't think she knows anything more than he does, and what he knows is nothing - and turns the volume back up. The history of District Four is almost over - they've gotten to the clip from Finnicks' victory, at least, where he decapitates the girl from one and then licks the blood from his lips, and Ian is pretty straight but hot - and the reaping is set to begin.

The girl they call up is nothing special - fourteen, bone thin, sobbing when her name's called, probably taking out tesserae for a dozen siblings and aunts and uncles like every other stupid district citizen - but is quickly replaced by a Career, eighteen, muscle-bound and golden-haired. Her name is Andi - short for Andromeda - and her partner, just as tall and broad and handsome, is named Perseus. Chernova yawns.

"I thought this year was going to be interesting," she whines. Natalie tosses a pillow at her.

Five is equally as predictable - two scrawny factory kids. The boy, whose name is "Pony" of all things, is eighteen and stoic; the girl is twelve and cries when she's selected for the honor of being in the Games. They don't share a surname, but there's a likeness there, beyond what Ian would expect from the founder effect in a district as large as Five.

Six, though. Six breaks the mold, just a little bit.

***

District Six

The sky is gray. The sky is always gray in District Six; if it's not raining, it's filled with exhaust fumes from the car plants, and just because it's That Day doesn't mean that the factories stop running, running, running for the people who don't have dependents of reaping age. Nellie's eighteen, on her last year in the ropes, and to celebrate she has a half-shift tonight to sate Peacekeeper demand for hovercrafts. Next year, she'll have only two hours off to watch the reaping itself.

Irina's dressed in gray, too, maybe to set her apart from everyone else onstage. The morphlings wear bright colors, sky blue and safety orange and powder pink and lime green all running into each other, and Cordelia, their escort, has picked a feathered violet gown this year. After finishing a chipper speech on loyalty to the Capitol (she must be angling for a spot in a better District), Cordelia chirps "ladies first!" and delicately plucks out a name from the girls' bowl.

The odds, relatively speaking, are in Nellie's favor. She's eighteen, sure, and she's taken out tesserae, but she doesn't have any siblings, and everyone in District Six takes out tesserae if they can. That doesn't change the fact that the name on Cordelia's lips is "Nellie Gomez."

Nellie barely needs to walk to reach the stage; the pens for eighteen-year-olds are right up against it, and she's been pressed towards the front by people who arrived after she did. Cordelia grins down at her; Nellie can now see that she's embedded amethysts in her teeth and filed them into points. Then she reads out the boy's name.

Sammy Mourad is not someone Nellie knows; from the stink that permeates his clothes, he probably works in one of the refinery plants, so the last time they could've met was maybe pre-career training nearly a decade ago. They shake hands nervously and head into Main Station. Nellie's parents take her excess jewelry - she doubts it'll still be in their possession when she returns - and give her a nose stud shaped like a snake to take into the arena and hug her goodbye. A man in a jacket made from actual leather sneaks in the back entrance to visit Sammy Mourad; Nellie gets the distinct impression he's not on the up-and-up with the peacekeepers.

They head out of the district on a high-speed train. Its wheels thud against the track just out of sync.

***

Capitol

"They look like contenders," Ian says absently, and they sort of do. At least by District Six standards. They're both eighteen and relatively well-fed, and their eyes are clear; not being morphlings puts them a step above most tributes from the Transportation district.

"They look like cannon fodder," Chrissy says. "I'm saying beginning of week two, max. A batch of those new tea truffles from Gardener's?"

"You're on," Ian says. "I think at least one will make top eight."

"I hope it's the girl; she's got a sense of style," Natalie offers from her spot to Ian's left. She's picking at the gold-leafed cookies Chernova brought. "Real punk chic. Or will be, once they get the soot and grease off her, at least." (Ian can practically see her thought process: maybe if we get a Victor with piercings, Mum will let me get some before I'm a hopeless eighteen-year-old virgin.) Ian rolls his eyes. "The boy's awfully exotic, too. Rather dashing."

"Natty's got a cru-ush," Chernova sings. Natalie chucks an empty glass at her head, shrieking "shut up, Lilya!" Ian rolls his eyes and glances back at the screen.

The reapings from Seven rush past; a twelve-year-old boy and fifteen-year old girl who share a last name. (They're cousins, the girl says, and from the group home. The odds weren't in their favor; the group home kids are directed to take out tesserae for all of each other, not just their biological siblings. Ian still doesn't think it's chance.) Then they're on to the introduction for District Eight:

"District Eight specializes in the production of thread, fabrics, and clothing. Its most famed exports are the embroidered garments from its Rainbow Street…"

***

District 8

"Young lady!" Beatrice snaps. "In what world would that be appropriate for the Reaping?"

"I-its the best outfit I have that st-still fits," Amy stutters. She'd finally outgrown her old Reaping outfit - an itchy dress that's tight at the shoulders and loose at the bust - over the winter, and the blouse and skirt she thinks were once her mother's fit almost perfectly. Besides, it's not like she'll be underdressed in them; at least half of the kids will be wearing work clothes.

"Fine." Beatrice rolls her eyes. "Daniel, get dressed! We need to leave soon." While Beatrice is distracted, Amy goes over to Beatrice's one and only bookcase.  (Half of which, of course, is populated by ceramic cat figurines and faded childhood photos of Grace and Beatrice and a boy Amy's never met but who looks just like Dan; most of the books on it are - were - actually Grace's.) One of the benefits of this particular outfit is that the skirt has pockets deep enough to hide a small paperback, and a good book will take away some of the stress of the endless wait in the pens. 

They report to the square two hours early; any later and getting there from Beatrice's inner-city apartment would be next to impossible. Parents are already starting to cluster around the back of the square, where the younger kids stand, but Beatrice stands as far away as possible. She's never liked this place; it has too many bad memories, Amy thinks, between Grace and Hope and maybe even things that happened during the Dark Days. (She's old enough, Amy knows. Barely, but Grace won the Eighth Annual Hunger Games when Beatrice was twenty, which puts her at ten when treaty negotiations started, and that has to count for something.) Discreetly, Amy takes out her book and starts to read.

Amy's seventy-five pages into a history of weaving (and this had to have been Grace's, because this can't be on the Approved Texts List) by the time Theophania coughs into the microphone to start proceedings. Her pantsuit is robin's egg blue this year, to complement the turquoise gems implanted into her forehead like a crown, and her wig and lipstick are bright silver.

"Greetings, District Eight!" Theophania begins. "We are gathered here today to commemorate the end of the Dark Days and the Signing of the Treaty of the Treason, which stipulates that as a method of reparation…" Amy fights back the urge to yawn. She can recite Clause Seventeen from memory - all of District Eight's citizens over the age of ten can - but Theophania insists on repeating it, with emphasis on important phrases, every year. She only tunes back in when Theophania says "ladies first!" and dives her hand into the glass bowl.

Amy's odds are good; Dan's are as well. Beatrice absolutely refuses to let them take out tesserae (not that they really need them; the Cahill family, home to two of Eight's four total victors, is relatively wealthy even though said victors are now dead), citing bad luck, so their names are in only a minimum number of times. Of the thousands and thousands of slips in the girl's ball, three have Amy Cahill written on them in plain, bland typeface. But the odds of a victor's daughter - of the daughter of a victor's daughter who was a victor herself, and one of the youngest in games history to boot - are never in her favor.

The name on Theophania's silver lips is "Amy Cahill." Suddenly, Amy's world shrinks to her sweaty hands and the sound of her heart thudding in her ears.

The walk up to the stage is interminably long. The camera crews that have mounted themselves on top of Mill B zoom in on her face and blast it onto the screens on either side of the stage; absentmindedly, Amy glances at them and notes that she doesn't look scared. Not really brave, either, but her eyes are dry and her mouth is set. Fierce, maybe. Strong enough for a fourteen-year-old from District Eight. The others stare at her as she walks up, trying to place her as the mouse who works inventory for Mill F. (Or, maybe, the victor of the Forty-Fifth Games reborn and re-reaped; Amy has always looked like Hope, even when she's not wearing her hand-me-down clothes, and she could use all her mother's luck right now.)

As soon as Amy is on stage and staring back at the audience, Theophania digs her hand into the boys' bowl. Her manicured nails barely graze the top layer of slips before one is in her fingers, and Amy's not watching closely, but she swears it was up her long bell sleeves and not in the bowl. Theophania unfolds it, and Amy's close enough to read the name over her shoulder.

It's "Dan Cahill." 

The world goes from silent to impossibly loud very, very quickly.

Capitol

Coverage from Eight (brother and sister and Cahills, Ian didn't even know there were any Cahills left but they're there, they're tributes) cuts out abruptly due to technical difficulties. Natalie whines; the boy wasn't even on stage yet, and the girl - so stoic, so fierce, so brave - looked like she was about to start crying. The reapings are going to be the best TV until at least interview night if not the games themselves, and they just cut out right when things were getting juicy. It's not fair.

The rest of the reapings are much more subdued. No surprises. No tributes who are related or even look like each other. Just a normal year of the Games. Chrissy and Chernova and the others file off, promising to come back for the interviews, just after the boy from Twelve - a miner's son, and a well-fed one at that, black-haired and broad-shouldered and spitting anger - is reaped. Coverage then goes to short biographies of the Career tributes, as it usually does before the Reaping recaps. The fours, surprise surprise, were practically born with net and trident in hand if their friends are to be believed. The boy from One, Jonah, already has something of a pop Career; his partner, Sterling, has her own jewelry line, which she models wearing it and little else. The twos fulfill the general "mountain man of the people" image; Hamilton's entire family, from his parents to his younger twin sisters, embodies the Career mindset, and Marble's father raised her and her six (six!) siblings on his own after her mother died of the pox. Calpurnia mentions that Dan and Amy Cahill are indeed children of dearly departed Hope Cahill, and there's the money shot of Hope luring the boy from Two into a pit trap and then going for the jugular, but it's glossed over quickly.

Ian wonders if the house cameras are on, if Lavinia's stopping by tonight. He needs to look at mother's records.
