[Open] Little People Know When Little People Fight

WHO| Gavroche and OPEN.
WHAT| Gavroche's
WHEN| Late Week 1/Early Week 2.
WHERE| Tomorrowland
WARNINGS/NOTES| Nothing as yet but general warnings for possible arena violence, etc. 

Gavroche had been thinking about it. He'd decided. He didn't much like this game. It was too violent an' the way he lived, well, he'd already seen a lot of violence over food, aen't no reason to be turning it into a game for people to play. He'd just ran at the start, kicking himself now for not checking out that big horn thing in the middle but he saw the fightin' that was goin' on over it an' he weren't gonna get involved in that, no way. So he'd ran, fast as his legs could take him.

He ended up in this place that weren't like nothing he'd ever seen before, not wi' his eyes. Big long metal things curved through the space, and Gavroche traced them with his eyes. He weren't sure this were the safest place to stay. Then he saw 'em. Big juicy round fruit, growin' right there on the trees. He'd grabbed some and bitten into it. It was sweet, tangy, the skin harder than any he'd tried. He clinmbed up the metal, broken down into bridge pieces, an' found himself a nice little cart thing to hold up it.

It weren't much, but it'd do.

Harley's eyes went wide at the sight of the food and she sprang to her feet. The pain she had felt before was dull enough she wasn't limping any longer and she crossed the space between them.

She was a curious sight that much was sure. Dirt smeared around her eyes like a mask, her cheerful yellow clothes were now filthy and there was a rip in the side exposing her side and a wound that was still healing. Her skirt had been shredded entirely apparently to make bandages for said wound.

"Way to go kid! I didn't think there was any fresh food around here. I got a can from the sky a few days ago but that was it." She tried to sidestep him to get at the fruit.

"Then there's that feast thing they mentioned...wonder when that starts?"
revvinguptheharley: (So here's the deal)

Harley's smile faded a few degrees and she plucked another orange fruit, peeling it carefully. "Well not so much kiddo. There's alot of tributes wandering around this area. And they aren't all as cute and cuddly as me. Plus there's scary monster things in that building there." She pointed to the building where she and Barbara had a nearly fatal encounter with an unseen force.

"I mean you can stay here if you want, but I wouldn't say it's the perfect territory to claim as your own."
revvinguptheharley: (Eep!)

(( No hurry no worry))

There was no hint of humor or teasing in Harley's voice for a change, "There absolutely are monsters in this place. Why just yesterday I almost got gobbled up by a swarm of rats with glowing eyes and needle teeth! And before that I was attacked by these horrible bugs that made me see nightmares!" She flailed her arms in an attempt to impose on him how important it was he be careful about the buildings.

"Not for kids it's not."

With a grunt of effort Harley flipped up and onto her hands, doing a hand stand which hurt her side more then she'd like to admit, but it was a nice distraction.

"Best thing to do I'd say is keep yourself safe till the rest of us die. Unless you're one of those stabby kids."
revvinguptheharley: (I flip for you)

"Ya got that right."

She began to twirl slowly, bouncing from one hand to the next. "Alot of this world just isn't right. It's not a world for good people. It's a world for monsters. But if you're careful, and really lucky? You might find a chance to escape."
revvinguptheharley: (Tut tut tut)

"So far as I know?" Harley responded as she rolled to her feet gracefully. She held up a single finger indicating the morbid answer.
revvinguptheharley: (Nyah nyah!)

She nodded in agreement, allowing herself a moment of somber reality.

She moved closer and planted a hand on his head mussing his hair. "That the thing kiddo. It's all a big cruel joke sometimes. Life is. And it's not fair. Which is why we play dirty. We lie, cheat, steal and betray people just for a few more seconds in the sun. A few more bites of food. And we try to pretend that if we do these things, we'll be in on the joke."

She grinned ruefully. "But it doesn't do us any good to be sad about it. So you might as well laugh! Show the world that you're not scared! That you're not gonna go down without a fight. Make everyone see that the joke's on them too!"

Harley's grin turned more genuine.

"You're a smart kid. Smarter then most brats." Scanning the area for any potential trouble she turned her attention back to him.

"A moving target is harder to hit. And you're a pretty small target too. So long as you keep your head you might not get it ripped off."
