Who | Glinda and Open
What | Watch the Witch attempt a daring escape. And fail
Where | Fantasyland
When | Toward the end of week one
Notes | She's only going to attempt floating once before falling down to the ground. So multiple threads will have to be after the event.

It had been difficult to scramble up to the top of the castle. It wasn't exactly designed to accommodate climbing on it. The higher would be better. Less chance to be spotted and cast down if she wasn't floating for long. A few simple spells had told her that she could use her magic. And if she could use her magic then why shouldn't she use it to escape?

Glinda summoned her bubble, letting it grow around her and lift her up.

She was beginning to think that perhaps she really had escaped when the bubble hit some form of barrier and the bubble popped. The witch fell towards the ground with a scream. She would surely be killed. An instinctual bout of magic created a barrier that meant she hit the floor with slightly less force than expected but it was still far from a soft landing.

Seeing someone falling to their doom? It was the sort of thing that sent Barbara into action. Usually she'd be swinging down from a building to catch them, but under the circumstances... running to try and catch the woman was about the best she could do. Even so, she could tell that she was going to be too late.

She picked up her pace, anyway, eyes narrowing as the woman seemed to slow just a moment before impact. She skidded to a stop besides the fallen form, and bent to check the pulse.

Glinda had the breath knocked out of her with her fall, head hitting the ground hard enough to make her vision blurred and her head incredibly dizzied. At the blurred sigh of another tribute standing over her the witch gave a sob.

She was going to kill her. She just knew it. What other reason would she come. There was no kindness in arenas. "At least make it quick." She choked out, unable to pull herself off the ground to scramble away.

"...You know, for an attempted suicide, you're pretty easy to spook." She bent down to offer the other woman her hand. No weapons in it, or anywhere else on her. Just an eighteen year old redhead looking confused. Very confused.
