atlas was slowly becoming more aware of his decision, seriously what was he thinking? he was in all black, thank god the stylists had a change of heart in terms of attire, but it was so unlike he normal wear that he felt out of place. he leaned against the wall and looked to the person nearest him, “i hope you weren’t intending to lean against this wall, safe to say that it is spoken for.” he didn’t really know what to say? he was so far out of his element he needed a life jacket.

━━━━  ᴋɪᴛ’s sᴛʏʟɪsᴛs ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴇʀʀɪʙʟᴇ ʜᴜᴍᴀɴs.   it was certain.    as soon as the words   you’d look lovely in a dress   left their lips,    kit had left the district ten floor.     she was wearing what could easily been mistaken for boys clothing.   mostly due to the fact she’d taken it from elio’s pile of permitted clothing.   a patterned over-shirt,    exposing a simple black vest.  though she didn’t   ultimately   look like herself,    it was a close as she was going to get.    as she took in the others appearance,   gathering that he too had faced the brute of his stylists  &  smiled    ‘  that’s okay,    i wouldn’t want to ruin your   cool guy   vibe you’ve got going on.  ’

          HIS  BRIGHT  EYES  TRAVELED  DOWN  ,  looking  at  his  opponent  ,  a  fellow  tribute  of  the  quarter  quell.  it  was  a  shame  that  he’d  have  to  kill  her  eventually  –  or  ,  not  really  ,  he  guessed.  the  corners  of  his  lips  quirked  up  into  a  subtle  smile  ,  just  enough  to  make  it  look  like  he  was  amused  at  her  sentence.  he  never  really  celebrated  christmas  –  hard  to  do  when  all  he  did  was  train  and  his  parents  were  always  just  too  far  from  home.  no  ,  the  games  were  his  favorite  part  of  the  year  –  at  least  then  he  could  spend  time  with  his  family.          “  hm,  ”  he  mused.          “  i  guess  you  have  me  there.  didn’t  even  remember  christmas  ,  but  how  can  i  at  a  time  like  this  ?  ”

━━━━   ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ɪɴ ʜɪs ᴇʏᴇs,      she seen in one hundred times before.     if she were to catch her own reflection as she sized up the animals for slaughtering,     that is the expression that would be looking back at her.        his smile was   off-putting,   to say the least.   like the muscles in his lips had barely ever been used.       the boy didn’t smile much;     or so she guessed.        kit looked down at her fingernails so that she wouldn’t raise an eyebrow at the boy.      like a caged   animal,    movement might provoke him.    ‘  it is rather easy to get lost in the  MADNESS   of it all i suppose. ’     though she wasn’t going to explicitly tell the boy he was right.    his head might explode.  ‘  but   i’m not sure that’s a good thing. ’

           TRAINING COULD WAIT  –  for  one  more  day  ,  at  least.  atticus  knew  that  he  wouldn’t  be  yelled  at  for  attempting  to  train  before  the  rest  of  the  tributes  ,  but  he  wouldn’t  be  punished  if  he  wanted  to  push  a  few  buttons  either.  he  left  floor  two  almost  immediately  ,  leaving  his  troupe  behind  to  go  find  someone  else  to  talk  to.  he’d  spent  his  whole  life  in  district  two  ,  he  didn’t  need  to  spend  more  time  in  the  capitol  with  people  from  home.                    “  isn’t  this  exhilarating  ?  ”  he  asked  the  nearest  person.            “  the  games  really  are  the  best  time  of  the  year.  ”

━━━━    ɪᴛ ʜᴀᴅ ʙᴇᴇɴ ʟᴇss ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ғᴏᴜʀ ʜᴏᴜʀs    &   ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs   ᴏғғɪᴄɪᴀʟ,      kit was bored of the capitol    already.     the bright lights   shimmering   through her window caught her attention for a white    but     they were just small blurs speeding by.     the newness wore off quickly.    how had corin survived the training period?     let alone half of the games.     ‘  that’s   not   the word i would use.   ’    exhilarating    was the fresh farm air,    the smell of fresh hay.   the only scent up her nose now was that of    RIDICULOUSLY  over-cleaned metal walls as she wandered the halls,     ‘  personally,    i prefer christmas.  ’

⋮⋮⋮  ✕ ˚ °  ‘   ---  brittany o’grady. kit ogden, the 19 year old from district 10 has just arrived at the capitol. she was reaped for the quarter quell and are quite handy in stealth and hand-to-hand combat. i’ve heard they are perspicacious & laconic, so those sponsors better keep an eye on them. they are apart of the uprising.

TW: DEATH,  TW: ANIMAL CRUELTY

what up,   is you casual neighbourhood gay kaz here,    bringing you this fun lump of a character bc brittany o’grady is beautiful  &   criminally underused.    i also love the hunger games,    especially canon divergent ones that make things more interesting. mmmkay that’s enough about me because i’m dull af,    on to kit.

kit ogden was born in an alleyway to a real young mother who had zero money.    given the tragic circumstances of the birth,    the mother died of blood-loss when the peacekeepers that found her didn’t think ‘oh let’s call a doctor’ because she was poor.     they took the kid and left her on a doorstep of a local farmhouse, owned by a woman who was notorious for taking in the gutter trash of ten.  

she got her name bc one of the peacekeepers wrote the word kid on a piece of paper to name her,  but his handwriting was so bad that when lysetta ogden found her she was like ‘oh her name’s kit!’ 

lysetta didn’t technically have any children,  she had a son but he died in the games decades before kit was born.  her husband couldn’t handle the loss and drunk himself to death.   lysetta always realised there were other things to do in life.  though she doesn’t see kit as her child,  she’s the closest thing she has. if you ignored the fact that her farmhouse was actually a slaughterhouse,   you’d think she was the sweetest woman.    has been a big supporter of the rebellion for pretty much the entire time.

they lived in a slaughterhouse/farmhouse/workhouse that was on the outskirts of ten,   so they were pretty much ignored a lot. because she was homeschooled, most people didn’t know kit existed until she started working at the slaughterhouse and delivering meat to butchers. 

so yeah, kit grew up working in the slaughterhouse to ‘earn her keep’ bc lysetta didn’t get paid to take her in.   there were a lot of people that couldn’t get work in the district working their too,  especially teens who needed to make money for their family so lysetta took them in so they didn’t have to take tessarae.  this wasn’t like a tragic thing,   she didn’t work them to death.   it was just what they had to do to keep things running.

yeah,   because they didn’t have a maternal relationship most of the emotional stuff kit got from herself.    she’s always been a real tomboy,    mostly bc the farm work.   her first love was a girl her age she used to see in the butchers.    that wasn’t like a real thing though.    then she met corin donnelly who was just a badass.    used to test waters by screaming ‘screw the capitol’ as loud as she could without anyone hearing. they both fell hard.  corin had more worldly experience than kit so she helped her understand things.   they went to their first reaping together when they were fifteen and just held each others hands so tightly.   neither of their names weren’t called.     then of course fate screws things over,    the next year corin’s name was called and kit had to be physically dragged away from her by peacekeepers.   of course not before screaming   ‘screw the capitol’   live on air.

corin died.    she made it to the last third of the game but just wasn’t strong enough to overpower strong career-types.  as she lay dying her words mouthed ‘screw the capitol’ so yeah, she is the reason kit is team rebels.

lysetta basically told her about a few rebel things whilst they were in the slaughterhouse working.  that was kits coping mechanism.   to kill animals and pretend they were capitolites.

she is not surprised she was reaped for the quell.   her outburst at corin’s reaping was pretty public.  though she’s going to try and not mention her at all.   play it off like ‘that wasn’t me idk what you’re on about’    even though she’s pretty mad.

personality wise she’s fun,   when she wants to speak,    she’s a pretty big observer type.   if she gets on with you then you’ll realise that she’s smart.    is very good at getting over things.    even corin’s death she’s pretty much over,     emotionally.    she’s team    ‘ i’m gonna remember her and be happy, because she always made me happy ‘

like bendelacreme she can often be terminally delightful but in a sarcy kind of ‘i’m not miserable so you shouldn’t be;

i didn’t go in to her skills bc   length,  but anything else you wanna know just hmu

plot wise i’m open to EVERYTHING .   please like this & i’ll sneak in to your ims.
