Who| Gavroche and OPEN
What| Getting used to being alive again
Where| Training Centre.
When| A few days after his death in the arena
Warnings/Notes| Erm, none so far but probably talk of a small child dying so, there's that to be considered.

He'd woken up in a big bed. He'd never been in such a big bed before, so he wasn't so sure what was going on when he found himself in one. It was a little ... what was that word he'd heard Courfeyrac use once? .... Disconcerting, that was the boy. He looked around the room, a little confused. He wasn't entirely sure how he'd gotten back here. After all, last he remembered he was scouting for stuff in the arena and then ... well, then nothing.

He slid out of the bed, catching sight of himself in a nearby mirror. Someone had washed and cut his hair, leaving it in a neat little cut that somehow made him look younger than he was. He was also in some weird all in one suit type thing, that covered his feet, leaving soft little noises as he walked around. There was a hat thing attached to it, with a face on it, Gavroche pulled it up to inspect it in the mirror, before quickly shoving it down again.

He made his way out of his room. Maybe he could find someone to tell him what was going on.

"Because they're fools." Sandy sighed letting go of him and giving up on making the suit more comfortable.

"This whole place is crazy, but they were born and raised here so to them it's all normal and we're the weird ones."

"Yeah, you're gonna have to get used to things not being right." Sandy grumbled feeling more frustrated having to share her knowledge of how crappy their situation was with a new person.

"I'm Sandy." She introduced herself in turn.

Sandy smirked, she just couldn't help herself hearing him say that "My world was pretty crummy too. I'm starting to think most worlds are messed up and only a few lucky ones turn out OK."

There was a flash of approval in Sandy's eyes.

"Better then where I came from. The adults gave up their freedom out of fear. They thought it would be better if they gave all the power to the people in charge so they could protect us. But they were wrong."

"You guys got the right idea." Sandy's grin was wicked and conspiratorial. "Back home I would have given anything for some people brave enough to stand up for what was right. But all the heroes got chased out of town and locked up like my dad." And staying out of jail had been one of her only tasks from the day to day.

"Because they were...different." How best to explain this? It wasn't the first time she had explained it but she knew enough to explain it differently.

"Come on." She gestured he should follow and led the way to the elevator. Conversation like this would require food.

"In my world there were people with powers. Powers that made them stronger then normal humans. Better then normal humans. And some of them used their powers selfishly. For evil wicked things. And that scared the humans."

Reaching the elevator she pushed the button.

"But there were some people with powers who used them for good. To stand up to the bullies and the selfish people. To protect the weak. But even though they did that the humans were still scared. So they banded together to take everyone with powers and lock them away forever."

"Because they were still stronger then normal humans. And that scared them. What if the good guys turned into bad guys? Or what if the humans do bad things and the good guys have to stop them? So the bad humans used fear to stir up the humans. So they locked up anyone with powers that they could find and put the entire city under a big cage made of lasers. No one could come in or out after that and it always rained."

The doors open and she led the way inside. Pushing the button for one of the lower levels she leaned against the wall to wait.

Bringing the conversation back into the moment Sandy folded her arms across her chest.

"Now, we wait. We can train, or just relax. We have to go to parties every now and then to make people like us. But eventually they're gonna shove us in another arena."

"Yeah that's what they say." Sandy sighed and the doors opened again. "I haven't killed anyone yet...I don't know if I could stomach it." She got sick just thinking about the pain she'd gone through twice already.

Leading the way out of the elevator they were in a bar. She took the boy to the bar and ordered two of something called a "Fizzberry twist." The bartender returned with two glasses of a clear fizzy drink with purple liquid in the bottom and slices of fruit on the rim.

Passing one of the two drinks to the boy she sat on her stool and looked thoughtful.

"A few people have told me it's possible to win just by running and hiding and letting the others kill each other. Or letting one of the traps of the arena gets them."

Sipping her drink she sighed feeling a rush of refreshment.

"So how'd you die then? You obviously didn't win."
justoutrunyou: (goodnight sweet princess)

"Yeesh." Seemed the appropriate response.

"I got killed by the guy who won. Which is funny because he told me he would early on in arena. I didn't think he'd ever get the chance."
justoutrunyou: (Gimmie a break)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-05-17 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"He couldn't have known. He was probably guessing." Sandy reasoned plucking the fruit from her glass and putting it in her mouth."

"Then I just got unlucky and ran into him."
justoutrunyou: (Facepalm sigh)

She smirked darkly. "Yeah you could say that. At least he won't be in the next arena so I don't have to worry about another go round with him. Just all the others." She sipped the drink once more attempting to drown her bitter feelings with sweet bubbly wonderful.
