Khan and Ember I know. Don’t think I’ve met Dean or Castiel before.

Easier said than done. I’ve been trying nearly everything and it’s still dead on my trail. Seems like it’s either got a really good sense of smell or amazing hearing.

Whoa, whoa, what’s this about Chekov and pixies? I need to find him soon because if Ember’s coming my way…shit, I need to get to him before she, or anyone else, can.

Sorry, it’s my nickname for Doctor McCoy. It’s so weird to say that.

[obviouslyatribute]

Castiel is my mentor.  Dean is a hunter and former Victor.

Try disrupting one of those then.  Is there a pungent flower or fruit or something that you can throw at it?  Or maybe throwing something with your scent away to distract it briefly?

Everyone had a monster waiting for them outside their hut.  [Sherlock pauses.]  Mine was an imp.  [Sherlock rolls his eyes.]

Ah.  I see.

[james---kirk-blog]

I know that. Believe it or not, I’m not actually an idiot. A lot of people seem to think so though. And maybe you’d tell because there’s really nothing to lose. Why wouldn’t you share information with the other rebels? Khan did and right now, I trust him a lot more than ever thought I could. [He did torture me during our first meeting, so that’s always going to be a setback…] I don’t trust him fully, but I know where his loyalty lies now.

Yeah, it is and I’m giving you advice that could save your life. The best way to counteract something completely unpredictable is to be unpredictable yourself. Look, I’ve been hunted by her before. I was with other people when it happened too. I had a plan with everything thought out down to the last nanosecond. The minute I put it into action, she found us despite every single precaution I made. She killed three of them while the rest of us escaped. Nothing went according to plan. It’s like…she knows when and where something is going to happen. I can’t describe it. But fine, ignore me if you want to. After all, your mind is probably superior to mine. Isn’t that right?

[obviouslyatribute]

[Because I don't have anything on Coin.  Because they'll look to me for answers and solutions and I only have circumstantial data and theories.]

Congratulations.  And for your information, I have been sharing my information and talking to people.  [Sherlock exhaled.]  I knew this was going to happen the moment we were put in that house.  No one would listen when I warned them.

[You're going to just keep pushing, aren't you.]

Your advice is noted.  [Not a mind reader.  A spy?  Or merely an excellent predictor of human behaviour.  Perfectly capable of being unpredictable.  I've certainly heard enough comments about how I'm unfathomable anyway.]  If you have anything else of actual substance to say, I'd advise you to say it now, before we end up in the arena.

I'm awake. [In Person]

Sherlock woke with a start and cursed the needs of his transport.  "I'm awake," he snarled.  "Don't agitate yourself needlessly."  He stomped down the beach and scooped up Jason's communicuff from the sand.

He put the cuff back on Jason and said,  "You need to be moved into the shade.  Try not to bleed all over the sand, will you?"  Sherlock pointed his wand at Jason and muttered, "Locomotor."

Jason's body levitated a few inches off the sand.  Sherlock carefully watched his step, trying to make sure Jason wasn't jolted too badly as he trekked towards the edge of the forest.

"If it hurts too much, I can use a Freezing Charm,"  Sherlock said.  "That might take some of the extraneous movement away."

[obviouslyatribute]

Where to?  [Sherlock glanced around.  Shade.  Dehydration and sunburn would become a problem soon.]  All right, I’m going towards the edge of the forest.  Will you be able to track where we’ve gone later? 

[Sherlock poked Jason.]  You don’t mind if I use a Hover Charm, do you?

[colderembers-archive-blog]

Out of broad - daylight and out of th-the open. The edge of the forest is perf-…ect.

Yes. Of c-course I will be. Stay safe.

[obviouslyatribute]

Meet you in an hour.

[This call has disconnected.]

It’s the Hunger Games.  They’ve set off a Volcano.  We don’t have an hour.

[Sherlock shifted uncomfortably on the balls of his feet.]  How did you take him down?  [Didn’t think she had it in her.  Blood loss probably significant, given her incoherence.]  Have you bound your wounds yet?

[colderembers-archive-blog]

You can move him. I can - find you both, a-afterwards.

Unimportant r-right now, Sherlock. - As best I c-can, yes.

[Sherlock hesitated.]  I’ll watch.

[colderembers-archive-blog]

If you insist.

[obviouslyatribute]

[Sherlock focuses intently on what Ember is doing.]

[james---kirk-blog]

Whoa, no need for the hostility. But it may go beyond that. What else could she possibly be hiding? What secrets does she have? I only ask because I've got a nagging suspicion that you know a few of those answers.

Oh yeah, she can be, but you can't plan it. You go in with a plan and you're dead. Thinking on the spot will save your life. Acting completely irrationally and impractically is the only thing that will work. How do you feel about throwing logic out the window?

[obviouslyatribute]

[Sherlock sighed.  Why do people never think?]  She's trying to kill us to cement her hold over the Districts.  Right now?  [He glared at Kirk.]  And if I knew why would I want to tell you?

Yes, brilliant plan, to not plan at all.  [I have my mind.  I need to think.]  That's your specialty, isn't it.

[putonaredshirt]

Govno! [Comcuff]

[obviouslyatribute]

Right now?  Statistically, yes.  Keep running.  Find Kirk if you can but just get out of there.  He could use your help.

[putonaredshirt]

Right. Keep running. Zhough et never - never occurred to me to stop running. Eey’ll try to find - Kirk. 

[obviouslyatribute]

Good.  We're on the beach.

We— have an hour. Why w-wouldn’t we have - an hour? Jason’s wounds are all bound, and splinted, so—

One - question at a - time, please, It’s hard - to concentrate. Passed-out Loki is in th-the area.

[obviouslyatribute]

Oh, Hello There! | past d9

[this-is-eleven-gallifrey]

Hiding? Now why would people be forced to hide in a supposedly better New Age for Panem? Those are the questions we’re asking, but we’re not getting anywhere with them. The things we need to question are why people aren’t receiving proper care, why the rebels, now heroes, are locked up and segregated from the rest of Panem, and why hasn’t anyone publicly objected yet. What is making them scared and why does it seem just as bad as when Voldemort was in power?

To be honest, I don’t really know. I just do. Done it since I was a kid, drove my parents insane. It’s a nasty habit, I’m trying to give it up…but it’s too much fun. On top of it, all these thoughts are just whizzing about in my brain like tiny worker bees. If I don’t speak of them, I end up losing them and, well, what if one of them turns out to be an incredibly brilliant idea? I’m not taking the chance to lose something as important as that.

[obviouslyatribute]

Coin is.  [Sherlock leaned forward and whispered, as if imparting a great secret.]  They think she's going to kill them once the tour is over.  She doesn't need them anymore.

[Stay innocent.  Don't break character.]

[Sherlock nodded solemnly.  He certainly could understand the feeling of the whizzing in his brain, but he had a mind palace for that.  No need to waste breath on people who never listened to him anyway.]

[obviouslyatribute]

Don’t be a moron.  If you really were okay, you wouldn’t ask for help.  How badly have you been injured?

[colderembers-archive-blog]

I don’t need y-your help, you’re already - helping someone.

Not as badly as he has b-been. Literally - just cut up - a little. Give me - an hour.

[obviouslyatribute]

We don't have an hour.  [Sherlock glanced down at Jason.]  Where are you?  How bad is the blood loss?  Who else is in the area?

[colderembers-archive-blog]

Jason-- || LIVE AND IN PERSON

[obviouslyatribute]

[Sherlock shook his head.]  Levi Corpus dangles him in the air by his foot.  If there’s a way to immobilize his limbs, then it’s simple enough to use a Hovering Charm.

[colderembers-archive-blog]

I know how to make a decent splint. You want to learn? Or do you know how already?

[obviouslyatribute]

[Sherlock hesitated.]  I'll watch.

[colderembers-archive-blog]

Jason-- || LIVE AND IN PERSON

[obviouslyatribute]

[Sherlock shook his head.]  Basic injuries.  Episky takes care of simple fractures, like the nose or the few phalanges that were simply snapped.  To fix the blood loss and stop the hemorraging the next thing I can think of is a Blood Replenishing potion and Skelegro.  Lots of Skelegro.  [Sherlock exhaled.]

[colderembers-archive-blog]

Unless potion is listed among our assets, we’re going to forget it exists. Sherlock, how about Levi Corpus, or something? Can you move him?

We are - going to re-watch these - games, so that you can - eat your words.

Never mind is right. Go to sleep.

[thefirstandonlyoutlaw]

[A pause, before he spoke quietly, weakly.] I don’t- wanna watch myself get beaten up.  That…  Would suck.  Can we not?

I can’t.  ‘Lockhart isn’t up yet.  It’s still early in- the night.

What happened?  [Sherlock looked around and internally cursed.]   Who attacked you?

[colderembers-archive-blog]

I’m okay, really. St-…ay with Jason. - Loki.

[obviouslyatribute]

Don't be a moron.  If you really were okay, you wouldn't ask for help.  How badly have you been injured?

P-panic, but to who…. -mever’s available, I - may - need… A teensy - bit of help.

Ten- No!  That- you’re no good at math!  That’s- over…  exaggeration!  Inaccurate.  I didn’t- steal it, you just…  Didn’t say it in time.

Someone needs to… Stay awake.  I’m not going to sleep anytime soon, so… [A shrug of the shoulders] here I am.

[colderembers-archive-blog]

Hyperbole, actu - ally. Which means to exaggerate shit. I did so - say it! You just d-didn’t catch it! Not - my fault.

You’re an i-idiot. You need - sleep m-more than Sherwood - Forest over there does.
