Let's Have Some Fun [Braylon/Charlie]

[Kaplan]

Braylon Yandelle
District One

I'd always had a want to go into the Maze and prove myself. I'm strong. I'm confident. I'm fast. I'm a great fighter. What more could someone want from a Runner? Okay, perhaps intelligence would be helpful. I don't exactly lack it, but it's not my strongest aspect. I prefer to have fun. Lots of people call me sick-minded for what I see as fun, but I don't mind. It's perfectly fine with me.

Upon entering the training center for the day, I was sure to focus on the skills I didn't already possess. I was already quite agile, and good with most of the weaponry they had. Therefore, I figured that I might as well just work with weapons that were newer to me. I'd never been someone who worked with throwing weapons a lot, so I went over to the knives and the targets that were nearby them. I started throwing one knife at a time into the targets, and I did rather well, especially for it being one of my first times trying it.

As time passed, I eventually got bored with the knives, and decided to approach someone to spark conversation. It was always good to have friends in the Maze. Enemies weren't what I wanted. At least, not when it came to the stronger runners like myself. Therefore, I walked over to a girl who seemed like she was a tad more confident in herself than the others. I recognized her as Charlie, though I couldn't remember what District she was from. Regardless, I approached her.

"Hey, Charlie, right? I'm Braylon. What's a girl like you doing wasting her time training? You look like you could already take someone out without trying. Maybe we should do something a bit more fun."
