The Tinter (Open)

[Savius]

Here he was Savius. At the tinter again, planning to change out of this drab pink and into a radiant gold. He loved the thrill of changing colors and imagining what he will look like next. All he can think is I'm going to shine. Then what that annoying 16 year old girl said keeps popping into his head. We aren't covering who we are he kept telling to himself hoping he was right. He was grappling with this thought when they called his name.

"I would like to get a gold tinting." He told the receptionist behind the counter. She was wearing a yellow dress that barely covered her private sections. Her hair was a wild green and her skin was tinted in a murky orange. He could see how some people could find this repulsive, but then he thought to himself not everyone is this extreme or promiscuous. He took his seat and waited for them to call him again so he could get tinted.

It just so happened that Abby was getting bored, so she came over to the tinter to watch all of the people full with color. Then, she saw the man again. It was Savius. Somehow, Abby had seen him about 5 times that day. Abby tried to just exit the shop, but it was too late. She heard him calling her name.

[Savius]

"Hey Abby. This is quite the coincidence. Seeing you 5 times in one day. Well i would love to talk, but actually I have a party to attend so Goodbye." Savius said to the little girl. He liked her for some reason she seemed to have a real sense of the world.

Finn had been relaxing in the chair with his eyes closed, having his pink streaks re-done. They had been getting a bit dull. The needed more filling out. At the word party, he perked up. He cracked open an eye and caught sight of a man about his age talking to a little girl.

"Party you say?" asked Finn, trying to contain the excitement in his voice. It was still a while now before the Hunger Games, and in the meantime, he had little to do. "Not invitation only, I hope," he mused. "Those are the absolute worst."

[esmer]

Histics walked through the tinter's door, up to the receptionist. "A rainbow tinting, please. And while you're at it, could you implant a sapphire in my forehead?" She nodded. Histics sat down and waited for his name to be called.

Nyla grimaced as she was drug through the door and into the Tinter's shop. Looking at her normaled colored wrist in her mistresses bright yellow one, knowing it would soon be capitol colored, it killed her. Twisting her hand around, Nyla tried to pull it out, if she could just get away, take to the streets, keep herself... Her wrist didn't slip through.
"Oh Dear! Sweety, Mommy's sorry, but you have to get your skin done! You'll look so cute once you're a adorable baby-pink, then we can get you're hair done to match!" Nyla's mistress was insane in her view, really, acting like there was a deep bond between them, she had had Nyla kidnapped! She was little more than a pet now!
Nyla tugged slightly at her arm again, "You're holding me too tight" She whispered in a sad little-girl voice, "It hurts Mommy" Oh how it killed Nyla, to talk like that, to pretend this woman was her mother, but she had to.
"Oh, poor dear! Here" Nyla got her arm back, but only after a dimond studded leash was attached to her collar. "Why don't we go see about that party everyone's talking about! You'd like that right sweeite? Of course you would!"
Nyla bit back a remark and let herself be led over to the others.
"Hello, I'm Nyla" She said in a sweet voice, the voice she hated, the voice that got her here.

"Hello, I'm Nyla," Abby heard from behind her. Abby turned around, and a moment later, she was face-to-face with a girl, taller and older than Abby. She had a sweet and innocent smile on her face. Though, it wasn't convincing. Abby looked at her, straight into her deep eyes. Abby saw the boldness in her eyes. She looked like a Capitol girl with the streaks of color in her hair and fancy clothes, but the look of determination in her eyes was not a Capitol trait. It was a trait of the districts. Abby became a bit suspicious, even at her young age of 7. "Uhh...hi! I'm Abby!" Abby looked the girl up and down and then tilted her head in confusion. "Why are you wearing a collar?" She asked curiously. "I thought collars were for doggies."

[kyra]

Nyla's eye's narrowed slightly as she took in Abby, but quickly they retook their wide eyed innocence. Nyla saw though, Abby saw through her, how much she didn't know, but she knew that she must tred carefully. So Abby saw her, it relieved Nyla, that little bit even though it frightened her, that she was still part of the districts, even dressed as a capitol girl.
"Hi Abby!" Nyla said in a high, excited voice, then she giggled "Oh yes, this is for doggies, but doggies are so cute! and I'm cute just like a doggie. Do you like Doggies? I think their adorable!" Nyla gushed, going on and on, calling a dog a 'doggie', trying to blend a bit. There was no need to spout off her story to everyone, sure, she was tooken to be the pet of a game-maker's wife, that didn't mean she needed to let everyone and their 'doggie' know that.

"Oh, yeah, doggies are the best! When I was four, I had a doggie named Lucy and she was so pretty and playful and one day I threw a ball so that she could go fetch it, and guess what!" Abby said, now very enthusiastic about the subject of dogs, "She fetched it! And then, she brought it to me and I threw it again and then she went and ran off. And then, I had to find her and get the ball and then take her home, but when we were walking home, she chased a squirrel and pulled at her leash, which made me fall down. And then..." Abby took a deep breath from her rambling, and said, "Okay, nevermind, I think I'll stop now. Did you ever have a doggie?"

[kyra]

Only Nyla's talent for lying kept the smirk off her face, Abby was off rambling about dogs, she stoped paying attention to the real matters at hand, perfect. Nyla knew though that she still needed to tread carefully. Nyla made sure to keep a facinated look on her face till Abby asked her a question, and nyla was impressed that she cut off her own ramble, as inconvient though it might be.
"Well, I've always wanted a puppy. I used to have a neighbor with 3 puppies though, so I got to play with them alot, they were so cute! That's when I decided I wanted to be like them. They ran all around the yards, and played and and" Nyla streamed, trying to match Abby for rambling in a capitol fashion, but she was falling short. "And they were so cute!"

[Deleted]

Nyla started rambling just like Abby. Abby was so happy she finally knew someone who understood how fun it is to talk on and on and was just as enthusiastic. Nyla seemed just so interested in Abby. "Maybe sometime you can see my room! I have a bunch of doggie dolls in there!" Abby said.

[kyra]

Nyla once again repressed the urge to smirk... maybe... maybe this was the chance Nyla was looking for. "That'd be so much fun! I just love dolls and I'd just love to go sometime." Nyla turned slightly, still talking in a high excited voice, "Oh mommy, can I go play with Abby? Oh please? She'll be my first real friend her, and she's so cute to!" Nyla blathered.
Her owner hesitated slightly, Nyla opened her choclate brown eyes in wide pleading. "Oh, I guess so, if Abby wants you right now, we can always get your skin done later"
Nyla squeled and hugged her owner esctatically, Nyla felt like she wanted to hurl at the contact, she didn't let that show much though.
"Oh thank you oh Thank you!"Nyla ran back over to Abby, "Isn't this fun? Oh, I'm so glad I met you! We can be great friends and... and.. and do stuff togheter!" Nyla's plan didn't actually involve those things, but there wasn't a single reason to let that be known, for now no one must know Nyla's true plan.

Abby jumped up and down. "Yay!! This is going to be so exciting!" She shouted. "Let's go now. Come on!" Abby started skipping out of the tinter store, Nyla right behind her. This would be so fun! Nyla would get to see her room! And the painting that Ky made! Abby couldn't wait. After Abby got tired of skipping, she resumed walking and waited for Nyla to catch up. Soon, they arrived at Abby's house. She opened the door. Of course it wasn't locked. It never was. Abby didn't even bother to check if her parents were home. That was already an absolute no. "Come on! Let's go up to my room!" Abby said.

[kyra]

(want to make a new post so we aren't taking over this one?)
Nyla gasped as Abby began to pull her, the collar was choking her! Nyla's free hand grabbed it and pulled, hard, in a twisting motion it came out of her owner's hand. Her owner smiled and waved, obviously pleased with her latest friend. Nyla gasped and held her throat as she jogged slightly behind Abby. If this was Abby's true run, Nyla wouldn't have a problem getting away.
A problem though, Nyla hadn't counted on being half choaked so she didn't make a break for it as she had planned to. Oh well, Nyla still would have opritunities to run.
