M A J O R A C T I V I T Y C H E C K !

We are going to be doing an activity check here on Angels of Fire. We are doing this a bit differently since we need to know which characters are being kept and who are being lost. This includes people on hiatus. The way this works is you will reblog this message on each character you want to keep. You will have until Saturday morning at 8:30am central time to do this. If not, your character will be forfeited and the face claim and position reopened. Thank you for your cooperation.

  What are you talking about Firiro?  I smile plenty.

[firiro-rusa]

Not a lot of the others do.

Really, it's refreshing to see a friendly face.

[firiro-rusa]

A smile would be nice, for once.

[veronica-altman-blog]

  I am genuinely alright.  Those of us who stayed in Thirteen did not have it nearly as hard as the soldiers did.  There is no reason for me to be less than alright.

[firiro-rusa]

I think the bombs are enough for you to not be alright, even if the soldiers got off a lot worse.

It is relieving, though, to see someone who wasn't put near death by the explosions.

[veronica-altman-blog]

  I’m fine, Firiro.  Thank you for asking.

[firiro-rusa]

Are you just telling me that so I'll leave you alone, or are you genuinely alright?

And you can call me Fir, if you like.

[veronica-altman-blog]

Were you saying something?

[firiro-rusa]

I was asking if you were alright.

[lorelei-calaway-deactivated2014]

The bombs can’t get us down here…..right?

[firiro-rusa]

I think we're safe, love.

[orixnmaximoff-blog]

I feel like slapping you with Fakey.

[firiro-rusa]

Easy there, Lysander.

I'd offer you a drink, but there isn't anything to offer.

[salyndra-elwood]

As am I, Firiro. This life isn’t good for anyone.

[firiro-rusa]

Even less so for people who have a history of killing people.

I mean, if she thinks a couple of doors and soldiers will keep us from killing her if we really wanted to, then she must be crazier than I previously assumed.

[salyndra-elwood]

I don’t mind being spiteful. Maybe one of these days, the universe will give us the chance to change things. Stranger things have happened.

[firiro-rusa]

  I do hope so. I'm sick of being a plaything of the Capitol.

And of Coin now, I suppose.

[salyndra-elwood]

I’m not sure. A part of me would like to be naive about all this but at the same time.. the other part of me says it’s good to not be blind to what’s in front of you. That’s a hinderance all on it’s own ya know?

[firiro-rusa]

Yes, but naivety doesn't breed spite, not in most cases.

I see what your saying though. I'd rather be able to see and prevent than stand by and ignore the suffering.

[salyndra-elwood]

There could be if more people would wake up and see things for how they are.

[firiro-rusa]

If you could return to being naïve about all of this, wouldn't you?

I envy the blind, Salyndra, they aren't hindered like we are.

[salyndra-elwood]

  Hey, it might knock some sense into the bitch. I’d like to see it.

You know she would have some polished planned out answer just like Snow always does. They’re one in the same, those two.

[firiro-rusa]

Well, it seems there's no escape from 'leaders' that thinks they're above everyone else.

[salyndra-elwood]

I’d love to have a conversation with her myself but she prefers to stay in hiding.

[firiro-rusa]

I wouldn't trust myself around her, might punch her.

But if I did manage to get a couple of words out to her, I'd ask her why it's so easy for her to send us off to be slaughtered like cattle.

[salyndra-elwood]

  She needs to but that’s not going to happen. Coin has her own agenda.

[firiro-rusa]

Her agenda involves killing the very people she used as figureheads for her whole operation.

It seems to me her plan is backfiring.

[salyndra-elwood]

Exactly.. but I don’t think the people here will realize that until it’s too late. All I can say is that I will not risk my life for that bitch ever again.

[firiro-rusa]

People here aren't ever going to realize. They're personifications of the term blind devotion.

She needs to repay her debts, and put herself on the line for us.

[salyndra-elwood]

And yet Coin stays here in hiding. I like that woman less and less each day. Shouldn’t a leader be fighting for their cause?

[firiro-rusa]

That's usually how things go, but Coin...

Coin isn't a leader, she's a sorry excuse for a human being.
