Ronnie was working. He stood in the middle of the assembly line, his switchblade out and cutting at a piece of machinery that had gotten jammed. See, his job is to help out whenever there's a traffic jam in the assembly line, which happens more frequently than you'd think. This was probably the cheapest factory in all of District 2, just because the peacekeeper in charge of it liked to hord away money that the Capitol sent to keep this place up and running. So yeah, everything was pretty run down and Ronnie had one of the busiest jobs in the building. Just as beads of sweat began to form on his brow, there was a clicking sound and the line began to jerk forward again. "Hey, I wasn't done!" he called up to the guy in charge of the controls. "Idiot," he muttered under his breath as the line came to a halt again. The rest of his work took a little less than a minute, but he liked to be thorough with what he did.

Jonnan Reed was working on her own sword, carefully sharpening the blade. Outside, she heard the line start moving again, and she stopped her work. Stepping out of the other room she was in, she picked up each weapon off the assembly line and made sure it was fully functional. After all, one that doesn't work right isn't useful at all.

Jem knew he should have been at work by now, but he was running late. Well, later than usual. Besides, he was only a speck of dust compared to the large portion of workers; hardly noticeable. Each day he would take lunch to his father at work. Even if it was just a loaf of bread and some fruit, every scrap mattered. Jem didn't have a clue when his father even had the time to eat while working in the weapon factory, but he always came home every night with an empty lunchbox.

Jem pushed through the large double doors of the factory building, box in hand and pick in the other. He walked quickly along the walls to avoid getting in the way of the workers. That and he didn't like the feeling of people staring at his miner git-up even if he did come here almost everyday. Further in the factory one worker in particular stood out. Instead of doing whatever her current job was, she was swing around one of the products.

He usually didn't pay any mind to anyone working, but it was hard not to notice her and what she was doing. "You sure you should be swinging that around?" Jem half joked. For one, he didn't really want to lose and arm as he passed by and two, wouldn't it be a dangerous show of skill such as blade weirdly off like that?
Clap your hands, not entirely childish
And watch to this purposely-crazed tune.
Certainly, I don't care either way
The warmth of the world is melting away.

"It's my job. Quality testing." Jonnan shouted, putting down that sword on the 'just fine, but not top notch' line. That was where most of the swords went. She picked up the next one, and immediately noticed that the blade had a bend in it, and a chip was taken out of the middle area that was used most often for slashing. It went straight to the 'redo' line. The next sword went through the same procedure as the first, and went on the same line. It was a bit monotonous really. Test, place, repeat. Most of the time they were just run of the mill swords, rarely did any have that perfect balance that put the line straight to the Hunger Games, or to the capitol.

Sitting down to wait for his next task, Ronnie watched Jonnan and Jem with a mildly curious expression. He knew what he was looking for, a double-beep would sound whenever he was needed. It was quiet enough so as not to annoy the workers, but frequent enough that Ronnie never missed it.

Jonnan passed a few more swords onward to both the standard line and the needs work line. She was quick with her job, it wasn't hard to tell which swords were good and which were the best after all. In a short while, the line broke down again, somewhere up the way, and Jonnan picked up her sword and began running through her drills. You would think she would avoid using a sword when she had a break from work, but really, she enjoyed it.
