thegames: Just... thinking. You know, considering.

[casaerotica13]

I honestly can't even take you seriously right now. Is this Panem place even still a thing? It is? How? No one's had the balls to blow shit up yet? Surely that torture-y Penny chick has gotten the noose by now, right?

What are you even doing? What are you thinking? You have a job. Go back to work. You can't make me!


[[ooc: This old mun does have a job and a busy schedule, but she misses the old RP days and is actually seriously considering things. Also, hi, i miss you, how are you, i love you, this isn't the place for this lina omg]]

And we all know that I can't get enough of the worshipin'. Maybe I wouldn't kick and scream too much if I had to go back.

[That was almost sincere.]

[formersurgeon]

[Her voice gets quieter, still mild but serious.]

You could work with us. With the resistance. I know you don't like the fighting and the death. I also know free will is important to you. You could help us bring down the Capitol, end the tyranny.

[casaerotica13]

I could.

[Maybe. Hopefully. Something has to give eventually. They can't be in control forever.]

How's that working out so far, anyway?

[formersurgeon]

It's...hard. I don't remember what had happened before you...

[Died. And didn't come back. She only pauses for a fraction of a second before continuing smoothly.]

District 13 wasn't actually destroyed like the Capitol wanted us to believe. The resistance is based there. It's where I am now. It's a far cry from the luxurious life in the Capitol, but we don't have to watch what we say, or worry about being found out and sent to be tortured and Avoxed or executed.

[casaerotica13]

[He didn't think you cared that much, Joan. In all seriousness, it just makes him feel that much more guilty. Good luck getting him to admit it, though.]

[But he is sorry. Again.]

Well, that's a plot twist. Can't say it's all that surprising, to be honest, but I didn't really expect it. [The Capitol certainly has the power to wipe a district off the map. That much he believes.]

How did you get there? How did you escape?

[formersurgeon]

Sherlock. Were you there when he set himself on fire and jumped off the roof of the Tribute Tower?

[casaerotica13]

... I feel like I'd remember that.

[formersurgeon]

He faked it all. It was actually pretty brilliant. He went to thirteen, and came back during a blackout to take me there, too.

[casaerotica13]

[Oh. He blinks. Then smiles.]

Nice. Dude sounds like he's got style.

[formersurgeon]

He does.

[She smiles, amused by the thought of the two of them meeting. Sherlock and Gabriel would hate each other.]

[casaerotica13]

[It's okay. Gabriel doesn't care for a lot of people.]

And they're treating you right? Lack of luxuries aside.

[formersurgeon]

[She opens her mouth, but frowns and looks to the side, trying to think of how to answer that question. Mostly? Sort of?]

[casaerotica13]

[Never mind. That answered enough.]

Anyone ever try to figure out how to go home the right way yet? Instead of just randomly dying?

[Because that seems to be the only way out of Hell.]

[formersurgeon]

[She's grateful that he doesn't pursue it.]

The Capitol scientists tried to send back the friends and family they were holding hostage. It didn't work. They wound up killing them instead.

[casaerotica13]

Maybe they didn't try hard enough. Or maybe it needs someone else's touch. Like a crowbar or something.

[formersurgeon]

[She raises her eyebrows, amused.]

...crowbar.

[casaerotica13]

Are you objecting to my gentle, scientific methods?

[Hey, it's a last resort.]

[formersurgeon]

We're talking crossing dimensions, not breaking into a car.

[casaerotica13]

It's still a B&E. All the same. Just one of them is happens to be a portal through space and time, but big words hasn't stopped me from hitting things with a crowbar yet.

[formersurgeon]

[She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, but she's grinning.]

[casaerotica13]

[Well, good. He gives a smile, too.]

I'm glad you appreciate my ideas. Maybe we should team up again. Or just go dancing. You know, one or the other. Or both. I'm fine with both.

[formersurgeon]

Both is good.

[casaerotica13]

Fantastic. I'll pick you up at 8. We'll hit the club, then after we can go and topple the monarchy.
