Gwen awoke to a strange noise. Is that... crying? From a baby? She sat up in alarm. "Uh, does anyone else hear that? Dante! Why are you here? What's going on?" OOC: Response to Day 2. Sorry. Family stuff and whatnot.
"I trust these guys. I think It would be a good idea to try and see what's going on in the watchtower, but if you would rather stock up on food until Day 5 that's fine with me." Gwen smiled, "I'm just happy sticking with you."

Wallace was startled awake by Gwen. He sat up quickly and turned his head at the sound of the baby. "What the hell?" Wallace whispered. His eyes turned toward Gwen with a confused look.

"Where the fuck is it!?!"
Eloise blushed realizing that she hadn't let anyone hear her swear since she had left home. Her embarassment quickly diminished as she ferevelntly searched for the source of the crying.

It makes no sense, a baby? In the middle of a warzone?
"Gwen! So glad to see you guys. Been a rough couple of days at the armory and I wanted to find some friends in the market."
Though his clothes had seen some wear, Dante seemed energetic as he began looking through the market's rows of booths for the sound of the crying.
"Hey, anyone lose an infant?" He called, glancing toward the other tributes.

Gwen allowed the jabberjay to perch on her finger. She was relieved to hear that everything was going well over there, but frowned a little at the last part directed at her. Were things not going as well as they seemed?
"It's good to know they aren't dead over there." Gwen turned back to Dante. "How were Demetri and Holly? What were their plans? Also, I think we should probably find that baby."

Wallace stood frozen for a moment after the message from the jabberjay. He stared at it also listening to the baby cry. "Couldn't this very well be a trap?" Wallace said still staring at the muttation. "Jabberjays mimic the sounds we make... This could be bait."

Gwen glanced over at Wallace, "It's a possibility..." Gwen leaned closer to Wallace, "But the fact that he used a password that really only I would know... Although, they did have cameras everywhere." She shook her head, "It's definitely not a trap. Should we let Dante in on what's happening? He does seem like he's avoiding talking about Holly and Demetri."

"Yes, that occurred to me as well." Dante nodded toward Gwen and Wallace. "Let's be sure to be careful while we look around.
The armory has been mostly cleared out, but a few people scrounged up weapons left over during the confusion. How have things been going here and at the Watchtower?"

Well we,ve mostly been scrounging for food and making sure that it stays in rebel control. Did Holly oe Demetri update you at all? I imagine you crossed paths?

"They would have had to cross paths with you seeing as they didn't go to the watchtower and we saw them here from the watchtower on the first day," Val agreed. "How is beardly doing by the way?" Val grinned. "I was able to spy on him the first day so I know he's a rebel but I'm sure he's just as gruff either way," she laughed. "So what's the plan of attack?" she asked, "do we think any of the alliance will be returning tomorrow or should we fan out a bit?" "Also," she grinned turning to Dante, "How have you been? I haven't seen you in two days!" I guess we need to figure out pretty quickly here what we're gonna do," Val whispered to Gwen.
"I say we wait to decide where we're gonna move until we see if there are any deaths tomorrow," she looked up at the watchtower, "though I would like to check in on Cal."
"I'm gonna spy on Dante once and whether or not that pans out I'm going to try and scrounge up food after that," she frowned, "I'm beginning to run a bit low."

"Also," she added, "We should probably coordinate our actions so that we don't all waste all of our effort hacking for the same team or digging around for the source of that crying."
"What are you all planning on doing today," she inquired.

"I think I can look for the baby as long as I can get some food. Just as a back up someone else can search, too." Gwen nodded, "I'm okay with staying. Especially if Cal said he was just going to come here anyways."

Val looked over at her dwindling food supply, "Is this baby going to need to eat food?" She looked around at her friends, "Because I don't know about you but I don't have a ton to spare." Ok I'll spy on Dante and then scavenge for food.
Then odds are we'll stay here tomorrow too.

((Sorry for the Double Post I just need to make up for the fact that I just completely failed two rolls in my actions))
Val trudged back from the market after having a really hard time finding food. "Well crap," she frowned, "I mean there's still HOPE that I'll find some food before the night is through but I am having a horrible time finding anything."
She looked into her satchel bag at her food supply, "I have enough to make it through tomorrow and then I'm really going to be in trouble."
Valeria looked back at the food stalls, "looks like I'm going to have to stay here another day to try and find some food."

Gwen looked pointedly at Wallace and Eloise, "Could either of you spare some food? I'm not too far ahead either and it seems like you two have been stockpiling some food."
Gwen was startled a bit at the sight of the baby, "Well shit. I was kind of hoping it was just our imagination. It doesn't look too good. Should we get it to the hospital?"

Eloise gently rocked the child in her arms. He was cooing now but it was obvious he had been alone for too long. She shushed gently as she tried to get him to calm down.
"I have just enough food for the two day trip to the hospital. I'd stay here and gather more but there's too many of us here fighting for resources. I don't know how much more time he can last without a doctor. I don't think he's even old enough to eat food even."
Eloise looked own at the child. She couldn't help but wonder how a child could have been left behind. She had been in the market since the Hunger Games came to a crashing hault and there had been no one in the market outside of those she had met in the tribute center. The baby must of been on his own for at least two days. Maybe more....
"I think he needs a name. What about Aramis?"

"Aramis works for now, though I'm pretty sure this little guy already has a name of his own." Munching on a sliver of leftover bread from his find in the bakery, Dante sits beside you.
"You saw my hacking attempt, Val. Nobody else did though, where does that leave us?" Making a silly fade toward the infant, Dante was rewarded with its wide smile.

Val looked at her nearly empty food pouch, "Yeah you're going to need to get him to a hospital but I don't have enough food to make the trip so I'm going to have stay here..." "But," she frowned, "I'm worried this place is going to get raided tomorrow." Valeria looked around the market and sighed, "I have no option though so I guess I'm staying here one more day." "Besides," she said smiling at Gwen, "Perhaps Cal will visit us tomorrow!" Val thought about Dante's question. "You put me in a tough spot... I need to protect Gwen and the others so I can't risk you killing any of them but," she put her hand in her pocket and felt the folded friend's pledge they had all signed, "I don't think I can just throw you to the wolves either."
"I'm not going to attack you if that's what you're worried about," she continued, "but I will have to let the other members of the accord know. I'm already worried about Sharlot spreading lies as it is seeing as she turned out to be a rather crafty peacekeeper."
"You DID try to hack the Market for the peacekeepers though so I'm going to have to punish you somehow..." she grinned and reached into his satchel taking a piece of food.
She slipped the food into her pocket, "BUT if I ever even hear of you attacking one of our friends I'm going to have to protect them and I think you already know that..."
She frowned, "So please don't give me have any reason to attack you..."
((OOC: I rolled a high enough spy roll that the GM told me I could take a food or item from you. I'm almost out of food and I didn't want to steal your token because that just seems a bit mean.))

Wallace stared at the baby with a cold mask. "I really don't think we should be..." Wallace stopped a scowled. "We don't even know where this baby came from. Fine, whatever, if you want to risk your life for something like this then be my guest." Wallace sat down heavily in front of the console. Before long though he got up and walked over to Eloise and little Aramis. "He isn't... SO horrible I guess" Wallace's face flushed a deep crimson. "I have a little extra food saved up, you should take another ration, just in case Eloise." Wallace reached into a makeshift satchel and placed a ration of food by Eloise and the baby. "I didn't realize you were so low on food Gwen, sorry, I guess I was just a little preoccupied." Wallace handed her a ration of food as well. Wallace glanced at Val and Dante "I only have enough for those two bits. But if we stay we can all get food tomorrow." Wallace smiled.

"I'm just happy someone got some food today," she said smiling, "Its really nice that you're willing to share with people despite the circumstances."
Val glanced back over at the market, "I can try to find some tomorrow.Its better that you feed the two confirmed rebels anyway seeing as I can't really help you hack any of the terminals."
Valeria looked around at her friends, "prioritize me last for that reason in all seriousness. You're much more useful to the cause than I am."
She stood up and dusted the dirt of the Market off of her, "So where did we all decide on moving or not moving tomorrow?"

Eloise placed the baby down on a concrete slab. "I'm leaving tonight. I'm heading straight for the hospital. I'll make my way to hospital and leave little Aramis there. If I can come back, I will. Wallace, I would wait until Holly and Demetri get back if you can to update them on what's happening. Maybe try and meet me at the watchtower on the 6th day....stay safe everyone." Someone please spy on Wren. I need to know if he's been taking advantage of me. If he has, hell hath no wrath..... Stay safe and be weary of Dante, especially if he has a weapon from the Armory.
