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.

(If they weren't dead already.)
"We ain't the ones in charge here," he said after a long moment. "Even if we know what we're doin' is right, if they don't like it they can make the arena harder, make dyin' more painful. And just for you'an me, but for those we care about."

"Nobody I care about is here. And nobody hear gives a crap about me." She muttered though knowing that wasn't entirely true. There were a couple people who were nice to her. Had shown her kindness and sympathy.
But who were they really? Strangers. Strangers stuck in the same crappy situation.
"So what could they do to me?" She asked daring fate.

In his experience, even being from different worlds, different times, he'd still found tributes to bond with, men and women he wanted to see safe. Folks that made this place a touch more bearable.
"I'm sure there's someone, even iffen ya don't realize it yet."
[OOC: Do you want if we start to wrap this up? I've got a ton of threads right now and would like to finish up some of these older ones if we can.]

Well for the time being she was safe. Stuck with a stranger but safe for the moment.
[[OOC: No problem, I know how it gets. Thank you for tagging with me :) ]]
