The tunnel to District 2, main transport for Peacekeepers, is unexpectedly closed before dawn. In edition, a mandatory evacuation is declared for mile around the tunnel, clearing out a large section of the South East part of town.

The evacuation ends several blocks from the Tribute Training center, but they hear plenty about it. And can see the Capitol citizens unhappily trudging to friends, relative, and the shelter set up for those with none.

The recording that plays every few minutes on all the stations state that there is danger of a possible gas leak, and the evacuation is precautionary.

However, resident report seeing teams going into the tunnels and not seeing them come out.

Some report screams.

Luckily for the Capitol, most of the teams were made of avoxes, so that rumor is easy to silence.

Pruna pulled Sandy, deciding that if she was okay then they should get away from here, especially if they might get shot at. "No, I do never be hearing about one. Do it be being a weapon?" They'd held it like a weapon anyways.

[justoutrunyou]

Sandy nodded in confirmation letting Pruna lead her back through the crowd who was parting to get out of their way and avoid trouble.

"Imagine a tube alright? A metal tube. Now put a metal ball in there OK? Now imagine that ball can shoot out of the tube at such a high speed it can rip in one side of you and out the other. That's basically a gun."

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna nodded, imagining that. A metal tube. Metal was the shiny thing that so many things were made of here. A metal ball, she could imagine that too, her eyes went wide at the description.

"That do be being a really powerful weapon." She looked back at the peacekeepers, if her and Sandy could get their hands on such weapons... She guessed they would be kept away from tributes though, since they were so powerful.

[justoutrunyou]

As the crowds thinned out around them and they made their way back through the buildings Sandy nodded. "All it takes is one shot to kill someone. Sometimes you get lucky and it doesn't hit anything really important. And sometimes they make guns that can hit someone a long long ways away."

[knifewithnoname]

One shot. Like an arrow, but more powerful. Pruna liked the idea of that. "Do you be thinking we could be getting some?" She asked leading Sandy down an alley, a shortcut that would get them away from the crowds and the peacekeepers and near to the park near the tribute tower.

"If we did be having really powerful weapons no one could be stopping us."

[justoutrunyou]

Sandy shook her head.

"Not unless the Capitol gave them to us. I mean...we could try stealing one from the peacekeepers but that's one gun against like...hundreds. And they have armor. Armor can stop bullets sometimes."

She hated to dash Pruna's hopes like that, but better she keep the girl from getting herself killed then give her false hope.

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna frowned, "I will be thinking of a plan then." Now that she knew what kind of weapons they had here they could plan better.

"Maybe we do be needing some of their armour instead." After all if they couldn't get their hands on their weapons they could at least protect themselves against their weapons.

[justoutrunyou]

Now armor was something she wouldn't mind.

"I don't know how to make it, but it's a good idea." She glanced at the cuff on her wrist.

"I really hope they aren't listening." She grumbled for what felt like the thousandth time.

"Guns can be really complex. I've only ever seen like...the kind of guns they have in my world. The kind they used to kill that girl on TV? Who knows what weird guns they have here. They might shoot like, fire beams or lightning or stuff."

[knifewithnoname]

"I do no even be caring if they do be." She lashed out her wrist, crashing it against the nearest lamppost not caring that it jarred her arm.

"We should be finding out, and then we will be knowing what kind of armour we do be needing."

[justoutrunyou]

"I guess we could check the library." Sandy reasoned though she really doubted they'd just leave information like that laying around. Especially if it wasn't something they'd need to use in the arena.

[knifewithnoname]

"That do be being a good idea." She nodded and changed direction, they could go and look now as far as she was concerned, as long as Sandy didn't have anything important to do.

How's that~?

[justoutrunyou]

She didn't, so research time it was...

...but maybe first a stop at the ice cream parlor.

Awesome

[knifewithnoname]

Yes indeed, for ice cream and research should always go together, in Pruna's mind at least.
