Wear a necklace of rope, Side by side with me.

Who| All those on the breakout mission and all those being made to fight against them.
What| The liberation of District 4.
Where| District 4.
When| This week.
Warnings/Notes| War, violence, death. Please warn for more in headers.

The ocean is a calm clear beauty only for a short while. Storm clouds loom on the horizon, dark and massive beasts prowl quickly forward and growing size. The waves grow higher and higher over time, crashing violent upon rock, dock, and shore alike. One wrong slip, and the ocean may very will claim you for its own, war be damned.

The once bright and friendly tourist city and pier is on total lockdown. The businesses (curios shops, restaurants, and even games and rides) have closed their doors and barred them with wood. One of the hotels has been turned into the Capitol-soldier boarding and war room, a refuge for Peacekeepers in the new uprising.

Said Peacekeepers are struggling here, quicker to react due to the nature of the District's people. There is an overwhelming amount of rebels here, perhaps even the entirety of the District. Many of them, as comes from being a former career District, know how to fight, make traps, and generally outlast their opponents. Capitol soldiers will be stretched thin trying to help the Peacekeepers settle this District's ire. The people of District four want vengeance.

Everywhere beyond the tourist's city is rebel territory. Propoganda is rampant here. It's greatest control is the weather washing it away. Yet still words can be seen such as in the face of adversity; stand together! and TO BRAVERY! and Time's up, Capitol.

The war continues, and in the back of everyone's mind is a familiar phrase; may the odds be ever in your favor.

Haruto's grin twists into something displeased, hearing that last bit. "You do what? Seriously?" He is trying to sound indignant in a funny way, but if he lets himself think on it too long, he's just going to end up feeling angry. At himself that he couldn't fully fix it, at the Capitol for doing something that still has such effects..

He looks around quickly, spots the gun on the ground, and then picks it up and chucks it a good distance away. It lands softly in the sand. "...alright! Now I'm going to get you down from there."
infinitemayonnaise: (did i do that)

"Get a little shooty, yeah." Nitou sounds uncomfortable with it, now that it's just being brought out like that. He watches Haruto throw the gun away. "Dude! Proper gun safety!" Not that he could talk with the way it had discharged when he'd gotten caught up in that trap.

"Yes! Good! Get me down!" Nitou likes that plan. There's a little bit of arm-waving to emphasize that point, making him spin around a little. "I'm gonna get dizzy!"

"A little shooty?" Haruto doesn't sound all that comfortable with it, himself, as much as he's trying to make it sound like a joke. "And that is proper gun safety! I'm keeping the gun away from you!" This is impeccable logic. Don't question it, Nitou.

...nothing left to it but to do it, then. He takes aim, he fires, and he expertly severs the rope that's holding Nitou suspended. (Though let's be honest, those magic bullets have homing properties and there wasn't anything too terribly expert about it...)
infinitemayonnaise: (kind of serious)

"Yeah, a little shooty...like I'm gonna fight but I don't want to fight..." Nitou also tries to make it sound like a joke, but it's weak. "Yeah, well, those things still hurt when the accidentally discharge and shoot something!"

He might have complained more, but he was too busy falling to the ground, colliding with the ground, and lying there and groaning a little at the impact of it all. "Thanks. Thanks a lot."

They have stretched this not-joke for just about as far as they can, in Haruto's estimation. Alright, so Nitou's still not completely perfect, but at least they can hold a conversation. God, it feels good to hold a conversation with him. Which... is a thought that he'd never thought he'd have, but here we are. War, everyone. That's what it does to people.

"Okay, okay..." He will practice proper gun safety later. For now, he will steel himself and extend a hand to Nitou, so he can rise to his feet. "Don't mention it. Now come on, get up and let's see how you're doing."
infinitemayonnaise: (nope nope nope)

"Alright, sure, yeah." Nitou gets up, and...

...gives a yell as he tries to jump Haruto. "I can't control it! I don't want to fight you, dude!" Now is not the time for rival shenanigans!
wizardplease: (Ohnoes)

Haruto lets out a startled shout and stumbles about, trying to remain on his feet and upright while Nitou tries to grapple him. He drops his sword-gun, and tries to reverse the attempt. "Then stop trying to fight me!" Easier said than done, of course...

The goal now is to try and pin the the guy, then maybe bind him, and then... god, is he even going to be able to haul the guy off, too? He's gotta try.
infinitemayonnaise: (waaaaaaah)

"I would like to!" It is definitely easier said than done. Nitou's lunging for Haruto again. "Just tell the rest of me that!"
