 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Some may be disappointed that their name didn't sit in the Goblet, or that it came back in a puff of ash, but Mercer was delighted as he spread the ash on his face as battle paint. Whatever was coming, he was going to be a champion, okay?
He was so delighted, in fact, that he ignored chicken!arms Arden gutting him with an elbow, and he didn't look askance as a second chicken joined the class a few minutes later. He didn't even notice when Milo went silent and ill-looking, even though he heard the chicken!arms girl claim she was poisoned by house elves. Being a chicken wasn't DEADLY, though, ok? So it wasn't poison.
"ATLAS. Let's hide in the hedge and scare people. And if they scream, they're chick... cowardly. So we're testing people for COURAGE or something." Mercer latched onto the first friendly face he saw, his teeth flashing white in an ash-darkened face. First face, and first idea. It didn't do to think about things for too long.
