Solange sat alone in the depressing lunch room that was as empty as the next. Where was anyone anyways? It's like she's making friends with the Avox by all the food, serving it to anyone that comes. Solange remembered her, she saw her at their floor before when they had just arrived. They had some conversations by smiles and well... that was kinda it. She was mentally and physically drained from her training already so a long good break would be just fantastic right now. She picked up a few fruits, carbs, meat, veg, anything that seems better than bread. Though in the end, Silange couldn't help herself but pick up a small piece of bread, reminding her of all those times she had to trudge around to buy bread of the family. Halfway through her satisfying meal, the Avox kind of signaled to her. Solange glanced around, knowing it wasn't allowed to converse with the Avoxes. It was still empty and so she got up and head towards her. She held up some cake for Solange and she just stared at it. Oh god, Solange stared in awe at the amount of sweet treats the Avox just revealed. The Avox grabbed a bit of every dessert and nudged the plate to her, smiling and waiting for her to accept it. Solange nodded and grinned as thanks before heading back to her seat, giving the Avox one last smile before continuing her meal. Yep, that Avox might as well be her new best friend if everyone was just keeping to themselves, including her. Solange heaved a troubled sigh but felt much better as she dealed with her sweet tooth and beamed to herself, devouring the cake. It reminded her so much of home, of her family, but not in a torturous way, but in a gentle sweet memory that build and was part of her to what she is today. If she was gonna die, might as well enjoy the last moments of our lives, no? Solange sat there alone, taking her time with lunch, and maybe the other tributes would fill in sooner or later to break some of the silence. Even though Solange was so used to it, she was used to herself being silent, not the whole place.

Spencer walked calmly and quietly into the lunch room though everyonr would still be able to hear him since it was so depressingly silent in the lunch room. He began to hum a cheerful tune as he piled food onto his plate and the sounds began to echo and bounce off the walls. He finished grabbing what he wanted and turned to see rows of empty tables. But there was one which was occupied by one quiet girl. He shrugged and walked over there setting his tray down and sitting. "I...uh hope you don't mind." He quickly said before beginning to eat. He guessed if it was really a big problem for him to be there the girl would say something about it.

Solange started playing around, clinking her fork to her glass of juice mindlessly. It was like church quiet in here, even the clinking of glass sounded soothing to her. But then the sound of the door mixed in and she stopped. Solange immediately turned her head as she heard someone walk in. She turned back to her plate, as staring was rude and she didn't want to get targetted just for staring. But Solange tugged to a small smile as she heard him hum something. Music was always nice to hear again. She was so tempted to hum along as well but she caught herself before she did anything impulsive. She just continued to finish up the cake and get back to her original plate of normal food. Solange glanced up, surprise to see the boy sit right across her. She shook her head in reply to him, someone else around here would definitely brighten up this room a little, she wouldn't mind one bit at all. She smiled to him and stared back at her own plate. Without her notebook, this wasn't going to go too well, but what can she do? Ironically, those paints she dismissed as useless would come in handy right now. He was from District 3, as she noticed, and the only other one having lunch at this time. No harm conversing with him, but the question is how. Solange just waited for him to speak again, not really sure of what to do.

(If you font mind me joining in : ) )
Domino took a plate and filled it with a couple groosling legs. She got a glass of juice and a couple of pastries. She sat down at a table and started to eat her food.

Spencer continued to eat his food, tapping the table with his fingers while he did it. He didn't even notice that he was doing it, but the room was so quiet his mind must have wanted to create something to fill the void. But it wasn't enough. No, someone was going to have to talk and it looked like it might be him. He looked around for something that caught his interest. He picked up his fork and remembered some interesting information that he had once read. "Whats really interesting is that the fork is a rather new addition to eating utensils. Originally it was just the spoon and knife that was commonly used to eat, but then a king a long time ago decided that the fork would be used regularly to eat. And viola, we use it now to this day." He set the utensil down and picked up a cup full of juice. He took a sip and raised his eyebrows as he looked around. Not really sure what else to even say.

"How do you know so much? Domino asked the boy.
No harm in asking him right? No. She took a bite of groosling waiting for him to answer.

Solange bit into the bread in her hands as someone new came to join them as well. The girl never introduced herself or said anything really. Geez, what's wrong with everyone? Even though she's such a hypocrite of thinking about that with everyone for not talking when she herself don't talk either. She looked towards the district 3 boy as he starting to ramble about forks. Solange glanced at her own fork and started to laugh, swallowing her voice back in, cutting the laugh off. It was quite amusing, for them to be discussing about forks, but she appreciated his effort to keep the silence away. She stared as he drank from his glass and had a good idea. Solange rubbed the water droplets that formed on her own glass onto her own fingers and became tracing the letters on the table, S, o, l, a, n, g, e. She hoped that they could see and she pointed to herself mouthing out her name again. No one introduced themselves yet so Solange might as well be the first.

Spencer turned towards the girl who had joined them later after she asked his question. He had to pause to think for a moment...how did he know so much? He had always had a head full of things he had read or heard somewhere before, or maybe it was just his intellect that allowed him to be that way. "Uhh...I have read a lot of things. And I remember a lot of things. People back home say I'm a genius...and I guess that is true." He then put his focus on the other girl and watched as she spelled her name out and mouthed it out for them. It seemed she didn't talk. Hmm...interesting indeed. "Solange? Am I pronouncing it correctly? My name is Spencer from District 3." He held out his hand but then withdrew it when he realized how awkward it was for him to put his arm over his food and nearly covered his forearm in the stuff piled on his plate. He instead gave a quick but awkward wave towards the side opposite if where he was sitting. "So you don't talk? I find that interesting though I'm sure at times it is probably useful. Women tend to hear better anyways so I can imagine your voice doesn't impede your hearing abilities like most people." He began observing her as if she was on display in a museum or as one would observe a science experiment, with wonder in his eyes.

Solange listened on and daydreamed about reading something. She didn't think that she ever read a whole book in her life before! What were the other districts really like? Solange suddenly got very curious to know. She snapped out of her little walk away from reality as he talked to her. She nodded to Spencer and waved back. Grinning as he almost dipped his arm in food before withdrawing his hands back. She shrugged as Spencer mentioned about the advantages of not talking. Sometimes it's really helpful and at other times, it gets so annoying that she just wants to speak so badly, (like now, talking right now would be so helpful) but the guilt of her mother's death comes back to haunt her every time she tries. Solange tilted her head in confusion as Spencer stared at her in a different way. No one would ever stare like that back at home, just some glares, threatening stares, egoistic ones, but this was a new one she never seen before. People are so different in other districts, all of a sudden, Solange felt like meeting others as well. What were they like? Solange just smiled in return and rubbed the back of her neck, embarrassed for the sudden attention. She never got much attention so she never got used to it. She then felt a pen in her back pocket which reminded her of its existence. She had no paper but looked at her palm; she wasn't bent on filling up her whole arm and her palm wasn't too big either so she decided on the biggest burning question on her mind at that moment.

Is reading fun?
