INTERVENTION
Who| Elsa and those who think she'll do something stupid
What| Elsa is minding her own business when she's swarmed by worried people
Where| Elsa's room
When| Shortly after Cruentus and Penny's post goes up
Warnings/Notes| This is mostly silly and dumb so not really
[Elsa's been through a lot lately, to be honest. Some of it good, some of it bad. A lot of bad. She's taken to keeping to herself a little more than she had before, in an effort to stay relaxed and not do something stupid. The last thing she wants to do is make another mistake and have to do another public apology, or upset more people. Being yelled at once was enough, she doesn't want a repeat of any of that.
Today, she's taking it easy by reading a book- a book on architecture. The Capitol has some really interesting buildings, so she's passing the time by learning about it. Overall, she's feeling pretty good, and completely oblivious to any announcements that are being made.
She certainly isn't expecting to be bothered any time soon.]
[[OOC: As discussed on plurk, there will be no tag order her- this is mostly just for stupid fun. It's an every man for themselve type deal with everyone demanding Elsa's communicator to prevent her from doing something stupid. Threadhopping is encouraged. This will probably be messy. I'm so sorry.]]

ELSAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Don is quick once the post ended. Regardless of his own feelings on what just happened (how could he forget Holly? when she was Avoxed, that was also--), he'd more or less learned Cruentus' "lesson" long before tonight.
But Elsa? He'd seen how she had reacted to District 3. And as her District mate, knowing this was likely her first real exposure to Avoxing...he had to stop her. He promised Shepard he'd train her, take her under his wing. And protecting her was one thing that came part and parcel with that, for Don.
Instantly he threw open the door, not bothering to knock, taking five steps in before finding Elsa...Elsa was...reading. Quietly. Her comm wasn't even near her.
And Harley was practically half-naked right in front of him, yelling for Elsa also.
Oh.
"...Um. Hi."
Suddenly he had a lot of adrenaline he couldn't do anything with.
And a lot of egg on his face.

Donnie?
[And WHAM! Face first into Elsa's door, stumbling backwards and crumpling to the carpet clutching at her nose]
Owieowieowie!
no subject
She's about to yell "ELSA WAIT." Except instead she runs into a giant turtle shell.
Not what she was expecting.]
no subject
He didn't recall meeting her, but introductions, it seemed, would have to wait.
"Oh, uh, also hi...?"
Just how many people had been on the same wavelength with him about Elsa?
Wait, was the District suite door opening--no subject
She stares at them for a long moment, her eyes wide, before it all catches up to her and she closes her book with a snap and stands up.]
What is going on?
no subject
Absolutelynothingatallexcuseme!
no subject
A real explanation.
And...well, it might as well be her. Once she's not slightly off balance from knocking into the person-pileup.]
I think it's fair if I speak for all of us when I say that we saw the announcement and were concerned you might act rashly again.
no subject
Harley, wh-?
[Elsa turns to Clara when she begins speaking, her eyebrows furrowed. When Clara begins explaining, her heart skips several beats and her stomach drops. She has no idea what sort of announcement has been made, but if three people are worried about her reaction, it can't be good.
Her first thought is of Anna, the second of Dave. Who's been hurt now?]
What happened? Is Anna-?
no subject
When they're there, he decides he better parody how ridiculous the situation is becoming, he steps out of his room and into the hall, calling out dramatically.]
DAVE!? [He pats himself down before letting out a sigh of relief.] Nope still here. Hi. Good, you're all here. But now I'm here, so you can all go. Bye, nice having you.
no subject
"...Hi to you five."
Turning back to Elsa.
"No, Anna's fine, far as I know, at least. But...yeah. What..."
Pointing towards Clara.
"...she said. Sorry I...don't know your name mostly. But there was an announcement on the comms by Cruentus...about Avoxes."
no subject
[Harley piped up from somewhere over Elsa's shoulder. She had tissues stuffed in her nose now giving her a funny voice and in her hand she clutched Elsa's communicator.]
Clara is in love with that cyborg guy.
[Because this is clearly the most important part of knowing who Clara is. Leave it to Harley to be watching the arena specifically for love stories]
Whattya figure guys? Great minds think alike. Looks like we all wanted to keep our Queen safe.
[This is apparently hilarious to Harley in hindsight because she erupts in giggles.]
no subject
[She doesn't know what Harley finds so hilarious or how to react to Dave trying to shoo them away other than to ignore him for the time being, so she's just going to focus on Elsa.]
They've turned at least a few people affiliated with us tributes, or who were tributes, into avoxes and tortured a couple others and the wanted to give us a warning about what they're willing to do and...well, can you really blame us for being worried?
no subject
He weaves his way closer to Elsa, taking his rightful place as knight of the dumb table by her side, nudging his shoulder up against her in a comforting way.]
I didn't think you'd be posting again, just wanted to make sure you weren't freaked out. [He pauses.] I wouldn't watch it, if I were you. Definitely not on a full stomach either. [He gives his own a comforting rub. Too much junk food and irl gore spam do not make for a good mix.]
no subject
Then Don confirms that Anna is fine, and she can finally breathe. She really wishes one person would speak for the rest of them, because this is so overwhelming, she doesn't know what to do or who to focus on. She looks from Dave, to Harley, to Clara, Don, then back to Dave.]
Harley, is now the time?
[As much as she loves Harley, the woman definitely doesn't have a good sense of tact. Her eyebrows are furrowed when Clara begins explaining, and while she isn't as upset as she would be if it were Anna or Dave, her stomach definitely does drop at the thought.
She allows Dave to speak, before speaking herself.]
Well, I'm freaked out now. Who did they hurt? If you don't want me to watch it, then I need a list of names. Please.
no subject
[Harley prattles off the names demonstrating the depth of her knowledge as a mentor before adding]
I'm gonna miss Cecil's broadcasts the most. He always had such a soothing way of keeping us up to date on things.
[it seems that now that she knows her tribute isn't in danger and her nose is no longer stinging Harley's mood is perking up again.]
no subject
[It suddenly occurs to him that out of everyone in the room, he was the only one who had ever known a time when Holly Sheer wasn't an Avox, even if he'd barely met her. Or who had known the first Shepard beforehand.]
...yeah.
no subject
Elsa stumbles back over to her bed and sits down heavily, her chest tightening as she finds it hard to breathe.]
Not Effie...
[It's true she doesn't know her well, but she can see her face clearly. Hear the softness of her voice as she worried over her that night. This hits a little too close to home for Elsa, and she doesn't know how to handle it.
Her head snaps up, when Shepard leaves Don's lips, though.]
What? Shepard, they- They hurt Shepard?
no subject
[He shook his head.]
Jane Shepard...there was another one I knew before. She was the first Victor of the Quarter Quell Arenas. She was also from District 9...the first Mentor I met when I arrived in this place, right after the end of that first Arena.
[He looks guilty, as if by not telling her or that by not preventing her fate, he was culpable in it. Even though he knew it wasn't so. It didn't make it feel better.]
She was Avoxed around the time of the fourth Arena. Her and Holly, they both...they were paired up together another time after that to give us another reminder about our situation, also.
