All of Our Flaws Are Laid Out One by One [Closed]
WHO| Venus Dee Milo and Topher Brink, Venus and Wyatt Earp
WHAT| Venus kills Topher and chats with Wyatt about their dumb (pseudo-)boyfriends.
WHEN| Week 5
WHERE| Fourth floor
WARNINGS| Death by impalement.
Her route through the east wing of the fourth floor gets shaken up every day or so. She's never been one for routine, and furthermore she doesn't want anyone pulling a videogame maneuver and waiting on her to turn a corner to run past her and head for the cafe. Having Sherlock get past her shook her enough.
Today she goes through the hall with the elevators, a chamber full of fossilized dinosaur eggs, and ends up in the huge room with the prehistoric animals. The ribcage of the whale above her reminds her of a claw machine at an arcade, about to lower down and snatch her up while her leg is injured and she's all vulnerable.
She stops when she sees someone turn a corner in front of her - just the heel of a shoe, but enough for her to follow. Covering the slash on her face with one hand and taking the knife in her other, she pads after Topher into the dinosaur exhibit.
-/-
She doesn't like walking by the movie theater screen here. The chatter of voices from Tributes still in the Arena clutters the air around her, makes her tense, throws off her vigilance and turns it into paranoia. She tries to wander through her patrol here as quickly as possible, limping along, dragging her foot slightly.
She hears a familiar voice and her head snaps up. She shouldn't be surprised to see footage of Enjolras, but she's surprised that it's of him and Maximus, because until now she's only seem images of at least one Tribute still in the Game. She realizes when she looks beyond him, at the triangle of background behind his shoulder and curls, and sees that the Training Center is closed. That this was recorded during the Games. This is close to real-time.
She's watching the footage so closely she doesn't hear Wyatt enter. When she tears her face (reddened, under her slash) away from the screen, she jumps slightly as she sees him, his eyes also on the two pixel-borne faces growing more heated as they fight.
