The Capitol
Rays of violet light pound across the city. Far too extravagant to be a natural sunset. Something else, I assume, that wasn't good enough for the wealthy citizens of the Capitol. The Capitol. We're here.
First we pass crowds of people, and it's all wrong. There is something different with each and every one of them. Huge and dyed hair, tattoos scrawling different languages, so many piercings, it's hard to tell if any of them are actually human. Even the kids, massive dresses and tiny suits. Thresh walks up to the window and waves at them, loving the attention. The whole situation; I can't explain it, it's just… wrong.
They all cheer and scream words that are muffled by the thick walls of the train. We eventually pass them, and then it is quiet for a few minutes. When we see people again, they are dressed the same to the last crowd, but they don't cheer or scream. They all stare and sneer at us, cursing. Thresh looks insulted, and returns to his seat quickly. Then a set of, what looks like careers, stand on a podium over the crowd rioting at us. They hold massive signs bearing, 'DISTRICT 2' in messy scrawl. Thresh shouts insults at them, making the crowd fired up even more. We pass them quickly though, the scene changing to massive skyscrapers and glass buildings. Not a tree or plant in sight. I feel light-headed for a few seconds.
So many people, I find it hard to take it all in. Oceans of colourful people, stretching out way past my vision. I even gasp slightly, and Edward gives me a strange side-ways look. Finally, the train makes it's final stop, and we all depart.
