Who| Everyone in the arena
What| Even more reasons to hate the Capitol.
Where| Everywhere.
When| 4 am.
Warnings/Notes| Any group is being targeted to be separated. Everyone should be tagging someone they are not with, as well as those they are, as the Gamemakers are driving them apart. (You can feel free to search for, and possibly find your buddies later)
Once upon a time, when this place was a much happier place, fireworks would light up the sky, delighting children and leaving everyone with a magical feeling in their hearts.
This will not leave anyone with a magical feeling.
It was much later than a fireworks show would have ever gone. Closer to dawn then not, when anyone who could rest, even those far from it, would have finally managed to drift off.
It started with a strange, warbling music. For those familiar with this place it feels wrong, close to something they would connect with this show, but wrong. Distorted. Stumbling through a few bars, it starts to peter out just in time for a high pitches whistling.
And then the first firework explodes into the ground in a shower of bright colors, lighting up the castle. There is a moment of silence as the sparks fade.
And then all hell breaks loose.
Whoever is controlling the fireworks obviously have goals in mind. The strikes are tight, controlled. They are herding. Targeting the groups, the pairs, driving them apart.
The fireworks aren't made to kill (although a direct hit may), but they burn flesh, and leave anyone who looks at them too close momentarily blinded. Ever one is a shrieker, loud, louder then the shrillest fourth of July fireworks, screaming toward their targets. The arena is suddenly a shrill battleground, full of blindingly bright colors.
Th whole attack doesn't last longer than 20 minutes, petering off as the divisions have been deemed enough. A few squeal through the night here and there and then finally, blissfully silent.

"Blaine," she shouted, jumping to her few feet seconds before the first rocket hit the ground. She's in costume, though she has her cloak wrapped around her for the sake of subterfuge, but her powers aren't much help when the rockets make it impossible to fly and deflecting them with her bracers isn't much help when they explode as they hit. "Blaine!" she called again, though she can barely hear herself much less a reply. "Find cover!"

Blaine's entire mind felt numb and distant, as he had lost all will to do anything other than lie there. Diana was the only reason he hadn't just curled up and let himself starve. She could get him to eat or to move.
The explosion, however, that was loud and it broke through the fog of his grief. He jumped up and grabbed at the most vital supplies so that they could scatter and hide.

It was obvious soon enough the purpose of the rockets and with a grimace she allowed herself to be separated from her remaining ally, telling herself that as soon as the barrage stopped she'd fly up high enough to find him once again.
This became a slight problem when she was forced over the boundary of Fantasyland and abruptly became powerless, although somewhat more clothed. With a growl of frustration, she kept moving, hoping she'd be able to find her way back in the dark.
