Fics like lies like second nature

“What about you? What’s your name?” “Purpled,” he says. Entering in the air, his name had more weight than before, as though his fate at the Capitol finally sunk in. “This is a stupid question, but: how—” he stutters, looking back up. “How old were you?” “How old was I when— oh, when I was reaped?” Eighty pauses, tapping a finger against his chin. “I can’t remember, I’ll be honest. It was either fifteen or sixteen, or—” He shrugs. “Maybe even seventeen.” Purpled leans further into his seat. “I’m seventeen,” he says, petulant. The words leave a sour taste in his mouth. Eighty whistles. “That sucks,” he says, chuckling slightly. “One more year and you would’ve been free to go.” -or- Purpled, a Career, has finally gotten his chance to play in the Games. But, when he meets his Mentor, he has to relearn what it means to be a tribute and, with Eighty's help, survive the Capitol.
