Brutus: Hello everyone! I am back.

Lyme: What the- caveman I saw you die.

Brutus: Death is a social construct.

Callista: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-

Hera: Twelve, actually.

Callista: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?

Hera: Yours!

Callista: That's right, but no one cares.

Nero @ Lyme and Enobaria:

Adessa:

Callista's sabotage ideas be like:

Ronan in every Village Meeting:

Enobaria:

Adessa when Snow offers her white roses:

Not the face claim but this picture screams Calli

Iris background headcannons to understand my recent fic 'Faded Rainbow' better:

• She had won the 20th, obviously, because I thought since Adessa won the 29th therefore it makes a great parallel for having a mentor/victor set at the start and end of the decade.

•She was born in July, because she is sentimental and a total Cancer in my head.

•She had major depression from her life in the Program and in her Arena and Ronan tried as much as he could to help her.

•Adessa is her 'Sunshine'.

•Her Arena was an ocean with thin ice sheets on it; the less resilient tributes got hypothermia and the others got something different, a spoiler I will not reveal yet.

This is inspired by the latest conversation @randomfacter and I had:

Adessa: Can you just leave my house?

Snow: Okay, if you are definitely sure.

Callista, strolling in randomly: She said to leave her alone!

Snow: Oh fine. I will leave, I will also send a card later-

Callista, leading him to Adessa's front door: Really? That's great. Bye.

Callista and Adessa: Finally.

Adessa: Wait...what are you doing in my house!?

Callista: Nothing.

Adessa: Callista, give me the knife in your pocket. And everywhere else you hid them.

Callista: We could be here for a while, though. I've got a lot.

Adessa: Okay. You can stay here if you promise you will not cut my pantsuits. All of them. Again.

Callista: I can't promise you that.

Adessa: Well then. No sex or murder with Dexter for a month.

Callista, calls Hera and tell her everything: She can't do that right? Tell her Hera!

Hera, from the phone: She is older than to me too, Calli.

Callista: But tell her she can't.

Hera: Adessa, you cannot.

Adessa, robotic voice: Your death estimation. Now.

Hera: Adessa, you can.

Adessa: You are successfully relieved. Congratulations.

Summary: After years of training, a games damned Arena, Adessa does not know if she can keep continuing this. Her mentor is there for her.

Summary: She never imagined her future would be like this, becoming a total stranger to herself. She is Iris, Victor of the 20th Annual Hunger Games.

Callista: You kill people for money!?

Assassin!Adessa: I can explain!

Callista: And all this time I have been doing it for free like a chump!

Adessa/Callista/Enobaria: I prevented a murder today.

Iris/Hera/Nero: Really? How'd you do that?

Adessa/Callista/Enobaria: Self control.

Adessa: English is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

Odin: You need to stop.

Nero: Hey, did you saw Adessa? I did not saw her today.

Iris: She is with me. Dess is quite stressed because she just survived a traumatic event she never had before. Poor Sunshine.

Nero: What happened?

Adessa, from the other room: HOW COULD I LOST TO SNOW!?

Honestly, same.

Summary: Coriolanus Snow was not a good man, everyone knows this, what happens when he goes to a certain Victor Village?

Summary: Adessa learns something shocking and a major change in her life.

Adessa: Knock knock.

Iris, sighs: Who is it?

Adessa: Ivan Urder.

Iris: Ivan Urder, who?

Adessa: I want murder. Get it?

Iris: I am tired, Sunshine.

In ADUD:

Devon: At least we have Odin.

*Gets killed.*

Devon: Well, we still have Callista.

*Sacrifices herself with Hera*

Devon, unsurely: Emory! She is with us!

*Detonation*

Devon: I...I still can walk by myself!

*evil smirk from the universe.*

Devon, sweating: WHO IS WRITING THE SCRIPT!?

*Callista coming to village after murdered people*

Callista: If I didn't know better, I'd say you are impressed.

Hera: But you know better.

Capitol Person 1: They are dating!

Capitol Person 2: They have such a cute bond! Also they make an awesome headline 'Coriodessa: A Story Between A Victor And The President'.

Rest of their squad: *giggles*

Meanwhile...

Snow: Yes, I am a pretty person.

Adessa: Petty, I said petty.

Snow, frowns: But I am not petty.

Adessa: Why are you painting my roses with white paint then?

Snow: Because you refused my white roses, which is an act of pettiness.

Adessa: I politely said 'no thank you' to your offer. Because I like red roses.

Snow: I like white roses.

Adessa: See, everyone has different opinions on things, we should not forced them on to what we lik-

Snow: But you are wrong!

Adessa, done with this: I am always right!

Ronan: And I am tried!

Snow: Well, tired person, who do you think the petty one between us?

Adessa, mouths to Ronan: I am your Grand-Victor!

Ronan, mouths back: He is my president, he can kill me!

Adessa:

Ronan: Well, I think tulips are better for that matter, right?

Adessa: *smacks her forehead*

Ronan: Right!?

Snow:

Snow: I have never heard anything so low in my life.

Adessa: You never voice recorded yourself?

Snow: Have you ever acknowledged your height?

Adessa: At least I have enough dignity about showing who truly I am!

Snow: Oh? A coward!

Adessa sips her tea: I dissected a person while you sat your rich bottom down and watch people kill each other.

Snow: *breaths in deeply*

Que for 2 hour long argument

Ronan, talking to his therapist: Roses, they were just roses...

Delusional Coriodessa Capitol Fans: You two are having sex!

Adessa, trying to slit Snow's throat with his own nails: You could have told me that.

Adessa explaining to Beetee why they should be a couple:

Nero, after seperating Lyme and Enobaria to not to kill each other for the millionth time:

Callista in an airport:

Lyme, after a REALLY stressful week:

Ronan watching everything get crazier and crazier:

Devon and Misha when Emory roastes someone:

Victors when someone insults at their Mentor:

Misha causing trouble:

Hera seeing Callista comes to village with blood on her clothes:

Iris watching Adessa's Games:

*Let's say Luna is Odin's mentor*

Iris: Do you think it's a good idea? He is just out for a year, do you think it is best for them to meet with each other?

Luna: Of course! Odin and Hera got on quite well, and Adessa is mannered, so I don't see why they cannot.

Iris: Okay, but if something happens, it is not my fault.

Luna: Fine???

-

Adessa: I did not expect you to look this young, if I am being honest.

Odin: Actually, I am only three years younger than you.

Adessa: Exactly, three years; which is one thousand and ninty five days; which is twenty six thousand two hundred and eighty hours. Pretty big gap for me.

Odin: I thought you liked science.

Adessa: I do.

Odin: Then how are you so good at math? You cannot be THAT smart.

Adessa: I am THAT smart.

Odin:

Adessa: Oh, you really are an infant.

Odin: I am not!

Adessa: A zygote then.

Odin: It- It's barely a cell.

Adessa, shrugs: You said you were not an infant.

Odin, in an attempt to change the discussion: So how it did, uh, separating a real person felt like?

Adessa, evil smirk: Do you want to try it, you know, memories tends to get more clear once you relive it.

Odin, even more traumatized: No, no thank you.

Odin: I'm kind of crushing on someone, but I'm worried about telling you who it is, because you're not going to like it.

Luna: Just rip the bandage off.

Odin: It's Hera.

Luna: Put the bandage back on.

Iris: In order be a good Mentor, you should realize how many skeletons you have in your closet. So you would not let your Victor repeat the action.

Adessa: Did you mean it literally or figuratively?

Iris: Figuratively, of course.

Adessa:

Iris, sighs: What have you done again?

Ronan: Thank you for everyone for joining to our monthly meeting-

Odin, totaly distracted and annoyed: I am not an infant for the millionth time!

Adessa: Well, you certainly sound like one.

Ronan: I-

Misha, chugging down a whole pocket of marshmallows; How many of these you guys think I can put in my mouth?

Devon: Try as much as you can, Mish!

Emory, desperately trying to stop them: I think we can do better challenges than this.

Ronan: Everyone-

Enobaria: I WILL NOT SAY SORRY TO YOUR USELESS CATS, YOU BITC-

Callista, glares: What was that?

Enobaria, stuttering: No-nothing.

Nero: I think we all need to relax.

Callista: Still trying it, darling. It does not work.

Ronan: Can I please have everyone's attention-

Hera, just entered: Why is everyone yelling here?

Petra: I don't know..BUT IT'S AWESOME!

Ronan: *blows a whistle*

Lyme:

Brutus:

Lyme:

Brutus, blinks: Dammit, I lost!

Lyme, grins: As always!

Claudius: Congrats, boss.

Ronan, turns to his Victors: Can I have some help?

Caius: Yes, of course. The village therapist is actually good.

Luna: And cute.

Ronan:

Ronan: Is it how does it feels like when you have wild and dangerous baby Victors?

Iris, with a sudden flashback of bb!Adessa: Not even close.

Caius: Why is Ronan so sad?

Luna: He took one of those 'Which Capitol Person Are You' quizzes.

Caius:..And?

Luna: He got President Snow.

Adessa & Enobaria's first meeting.

Well this idea popped up in my head and thanks to @randomfacter I am not the only one who thinks these two have sort of a connection. Other than coming from the same Victor-branch, of course.

Enobaria is mad.

She is so, so fucking mad at Nero that she might tear his throat out.

For the starters, her mentor is not so bad. Obviously he has his faults. She has them too, like how she just let him send her to her Grand-Mentor, The Pantsuit Lady or whatever the heck people call Adessa nowadays.

She does not remember much about Adessa; except for the fact that she was an Offering, very smart, and almost killed Snow, her 'frosty ex', for Nero.

Also she dissected a person, which Enobaria can appreciate, unlike her fashion choices.

Walking towards her house beside Nero, makes her nervous a bit. The rosebushes surounding her garden-all red, a contrast to Snow's whites- are oddly intimidating.

"Everything about that woman is intimidating, Bari." Devon said to her once.

She grinned at him, showing her pointy teeth which are currently protected by a plastic. "And yet you recorded porn with Callista."

"It was not supposed to be pornographic!" he yelled with a horrified gaze. "That was supposed to be a working out video!"

It will always be a mystery how Devon can talk with Callista, but freezes while describing briefly about Adessa. They cannot be so different, their names almost sound the same. When she was a little girl she always thought that words meant the same thing if they sound similar.

As they walked towards to door, she convinced herself that it won't be so bad. Everyone here is a family, regardless of their backgrounds and personalities, there is no need to panic, Nero would say as if she is a child. But maybe she is one to his eyes.

She was so deep in her mind, she had not noticed the woman who opened the door for them.

The Pantsuit Lady stands in front of them with a slight smile on her face. The previous thought about her and Callista's possibility of them being the same, completely vanished from Enobaria's mind. Adessa, who is standing in front of her is smaller than she had imagined and standing so straight that her own spine ached. If she looked closely there was something underneath the collar of her vest.

Was that blood?

"...as I said, it will only be a day. Just make sure she is comfortable." said Nero.

"Of course, dear." regal looking woman says and really? Who uses or need to use the word 'dear' or 'darling' when you can just simply kill them. Is this the same woman who feared by everyone years ago and still to this day? "Come inside, child."

And she does.

Adessa's house is grand and clean, way too clean that it makes Enobaria wonders how can she will spend a day with her?

They sit one of the couches, in front of them there is a table which has a drawing book and several colour pencils on it.

Nero. Of course her sweet, gentle, and hug- crazed mentor clearly had a vision about her getting bored with an old person.

Adessa can take the offence.

"Do whatever you want. I will continue to work on my recent project. Tea time is not that far from now. So be a dear and stay here until I come back." With that the person who was told to be her babysitter went away.

She does not like it but at least she can draw something. Pantsuit Lady choke on her own death, perhaps.

___________________________________________

It pasted an hour or more than that, or time is just an illusion and she is actually one of those dolls who stucked in their plastic pockets.

Where was Adessa?

Enobaria knows nothing about tea ceremony, despite her parents being rich and hired a nanny to help her become a lady. Well she is not a lady, and she does not have proper manners; therefore it is natural for her to go around and explore someone else's house. She is sure it is late for tea time.

Not sure about where to go, Enobaria followed the hall she saw while coming in. For a moment, she can feel the Arena's artificial breeze and how nice it felt to slaughter the targets.

But, but, but. They were not targets Enobaria, they were people like you. Why don't you just take that knife and-

"Shut up!" she yelled at top of her lungs. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!'

"Oh, dear. Are you alright?" and she is there. Looking down at her with usual unemotional face of hers.

"Do I look like okay? Well, I never am! You know I'm mental! I mean who thinks about tearing someone's throat out with their fucking teeth, no one-"

"I did." says Adessa and what? She doesn't looks like mental. Apparently Enobaria does not needs to say anything, her traitor of a face reflects her brain thoughts, or Adessa's Talent is mind reading, maybe both, shit, who knows?

"Well, when I was young, I started with dissecting dead frogs. They were interesting but not as much as a human. After years, I eventually went to 'Residental' or 'Final' for me, since the system was different. It was my first human kill and the trainers do not allowed us to go brutal, that was for the Arena. So I did the next best thing; I grabbed my dagger and ripped the corpse's vocal chords off."

Enobaria gulps. Admiration and fear starts to make out in her head and she cannot stop it. "Then what happened?"

Embodiment of Elite Manners grinned, glad to got her Grand-Victor's attention. She bent down and made Enobaria stand up.

"Obviously, it was not enough. Nothing is ever enough when it comes to human bodies. I was curious, way too curious for my own good but can you blame me? I did not done what you did, child, but I did wonder about what human teeth's capacity of damage would be. And in 29, well, you know the rest."

"So, you don't-you don't think that I'm a monster?"

"Not completely," she said with utmost honesty. "Each one of us, except some exceptions, has monsters inside us, however, it does not erase the fact that we are also humans. What you did was an act of surviving, a true spirit of a Victor. Do people thinks it's wrong, yes. But you survived in the end and that is all that matters."

"You care?"

"Not in a way most people do." she admits and it makes sense. "My advice for you is do not show how truly angry you are to them. They are vultures who wants to make you suffer, and it is not like we are in peace. They ruined my Nero and they should pay."

Adessa said this words with such malice that there must be deeper than this. She must planning something, a want she cannot reach yet.

"So in public eyes, we must be killers, not at home though." she says and seeing her elder nod shows that she is right. Then something suddenly flashes in her mind and she asks away without thinking. She will die because of this. "What was your recent project? Was the blood on your vest related to that?"

Adessa's expression darkens. "Don't mind that at all, dear. We all need our secrets and you are also way much young for this."

"Will you tell me in future?"

"No. But I do hope you will see one day, child. Let's go to kitchen, we still have so much time."

Enobaria nods and lets Adessa to lead her to kitchen.

(Somewhere dark in the house, one of Nero's potential cougar screams until she cannot anymore.)

___________________________________________

Nero comes back and takes Enobaria back to home, with a exhausted look in his eyes. "How was it?" he asks as they putting plates on the dinner table together.

"Surprisingly good. I am not a complete monster, I just look like one. Same for you. You look like a wild wolf but you're just a puppy."

Nero smiles and months ago she would throw the plate on her mentors head, but now, she really likes him. "Glad that you enjoyed."

Enobaria looks at her food, some mash she cannot identify. She had a flashback about the dinner she ate with Adessa. It was a calm moment, neither of them talked much; perks of disliking socializing. After dinner Terrfying But Admirable Lord of Pantsuits tried to teach her chess.

It was hopeless when Enobaria tried to itch her teeth with a bishop.

Regardless she liked the time she spent with her Grand-Mentor.

"Bari?" Nero's voice is soft and careful. "Bari, are you alright?"

She played with her food with her fork. "Adessa and Enobaria sounds a little similar too. Like training and maiming, you know." she says in a thoughtful voice.

Nero looked absolutely confused.
