The lady's voice rang through the open town and echoed off of the buildings.

"Kankri Vantas" everyone in Kankri's grade took a small gasp as he started to walk up. You can't bare this anymore, you might be younger but still you can't think small red tears are forming at your eyes, this is you we are talking about. Karkat Vantas the king of anger but your crying what the fuck! Something takes over and you start to run at the woman with the big fish bowl yelling.

"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE FOR MY FUCKING BROTHER"

"No need to shout boy, now what is your name young man?"

"WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I TEL- OH I'M KARKAT VANTAS."

"Still no need to yell, so don't talk into the microphone. We have the tribute from District Red, Karkat Vantas!" You stand there looking at the crowed with those stupid looking peace keeper drones, damn they are creepy because they know if you have fucked and they come around like 'hey give me the buc- container' in like a in-human/troll voice and do that like what the fuck... anyway some troll girl named Laurah Crofte is the other tribute and she seems cool you guess just as long as she doesn't get in your way.

You are told to bow to the crowd and leave into the justice department building, then into a small waiting room. You were first visited by your brother, then your dad.

"What we're y9u thinking? It's an unreas9na6le thing t9 d9 T9 y9ur 6r9ther, y9u might have saved me 6ut did y9u save y9urself? I can't 6elive y9u did that" Kankri rapidly said before he stared to cry as he hugs you. As he let go a figure stands by the door.

"I w9uld have never th9ught that either 9f my 69ys w9uld 6e called int9 these things called games, it's just murder 9f children in a c9nfined space. It's sad and disc9usting t9 see that Mrs.C9ndesenti9n w9uld actually 6elive in that pile 9f 6ull shit. D9nt die and I'll see you s99n 9n the TV. G99d6ye Karkat." He turned and walked away with Kankri by his side. Just like dad to walk away to leave or be silent after a long speech, also because he runs an underground church in a section of the hob market place. You don't think you can bare any more before you break down. It's a good thing they are ushering you onto a train for the main capitol or the old name of District Fuchsia.

The train is still, all is quiet until you step on with your new partner on this train ride. The sounds of party things, confetti shot and thoes little things you blow into that roll out to make that noise, also sounds of two people cheering. They both sound terrible. You start to become yourself again.

"FUCK YOU BITCHES I'M OUT, ILL GO TAKE A ROOM GOODNIGHT." With that you leave that car and fall into your bed just as the train takes off. You might go hangout at the end of the train to watch life you had go away slowly.
