Panem

[Gifted]

Eloise, seeing Fox was so shaky, went over to her and put her arm over fox's shoulder, deciding she should help the poor, shaky survivor walk there. the walk wasn't exactly short. Dominic went to Fox's other side and did the same, his skin warmer than average. (cuz he's fire boy now. )
When they left the civillians behind, Dominic said "Can we just Te-"
"-ake a cab?" Eloise finished. "We Can't take a cab, Dominic, it's not that far of a walk,"

[FoxTrott]

Fox accepted their help without a fuss. Being independent wasn't top on her list of priorities at the moment. She shivered, tried to compose herself, and failed miserably. "I-i-it's gone," she choked, "F-Forli's gone... I-I've got to tell someone, I've got to tell Gifted!" She ran forward, and made it a couple steps before tripping and falling to her hands and knees. Fox scrambled back up, and ran towards the palace.

[Gifted]

"The world already knows, Fox" Eloise said gently, helping Fox up. "Gifted was watching the Forli International news when it happened and one thing led to another and soon Crow was there and told everyone what happened. The News stations also been replaced, Gifted saw to it that it was done. Don't worry yourself too much, you've got enough on your mind," Eloise was quiet the rest of the way to the palace.

"It's happened to Nicole, now too," Joan heard Yazmin whispering to Noah, Pierce and Jane. Joan halted, listening as Yazmin took a half-scared look around to see if there were any eavesdroppers. Joan was still at the end of the hallway, so she wasn't seen.
"You know how she was giving the Princess lip about how she was acting so different this morning?" Joan nodded to her brother who was walking down the hall. What purpose, Joan hardly cared.
"Anyways, now she's just like Dominic and Rakel and the rest of them."
"How many people have figured this out? None of them are stupid, they should notice whats going on," Noah whispered.
"I think it's just us four and Cristel." Jane said.
"Not even Alex or Xander? Or Emric or Sharie or Ariel?" Yazmin asked.
Jane shook her head. "Ariels too obsessed over Alex and Alex is stubbornly trying to convince himself everythings normal. Ariel won't side against him. Sharie and Xander each have other stuff on their minds and as for Emric, he doesn't have a clue. He's a bit of an idiot," Jane rolled her eyes.
"Oh good, you're all together," a voice made them jump. it was Gifted. "I need you guys. quickly," she turned and started walking.
"Yes mam!" Yazmin said enthusiastically, changing masks like lightning. The four of them walked away with Gifted, leaving Joan standing there, very worried about what was going on.

((Fox is having me post for her))
Fox sniffed, and nodded her response. "Th-they're all gone, gone," she repeated, talking to nobody in particular, "Do you know what it's like, losing millions of lives in an instant? A brief moment, a flash, and it's all gone... A-and I didn't go down with them..." Fox seemed to have calmed down, and was silent until they reached the palace, when she began crying again. "P-p-please, t-take me to G-Gifted, please..."

[Gifted]

"Of course," Eloise said. She ran into Sayoko as they entered. "Get gifted, please," she told Sayoko, and helped Fox towards a comfortable chair for Fox to sit down in.
"gifted is a bit busy, But she'll probably be out in the next five minutes. I will tell her to come immeaditley when she is done,"


Perhaps two minutes later, Gifted, along with the four people Emric had just kicked the crap out of, exited the room and Sayoko told her what happened. Gifted was remarkably calm about the whole thing.
"This is very good news," she said, as if she was meerly commenting on the weather. "I trust she wants to see me now, then?"
Sayoko, a bit shaken up at my coldness, said "W-well yes, of course,"
Gifted nodded. "Alright then. I'll go see her,"
Joan was very shaken up, as she hovered behind a wall, at the coldness of it. This wasn't right. This wasn't normal. Joan backed away, and ran into Ariel.
"Huh?"
"What?" Ariel repeated, equally surprised.
"Ariel?"
"Joan?"
"What're you..?"
"Where're you.."
"I was just.."
"It's just..."
After a silence, Ariel said "This never happened. Agreed?"
"Agreed,"
The two ran off their seperate ways.

Crow soon found himself on the shores of Panem, he was slightly smiling but he came her for a reason and he intended to fulfill it.

[Gifted]

Emric took a deep breath to steady himsef. He needed to make sure Gifted seemed happy to see Fox, even though he himself was rather ticked that she showed up. Checking on the others breifly, he saw Ariel, Sharie, Adrian, Olive, and, oddly enough, Henrick huddled together in the hall on the other sidce of the palace. Jane was passibng them, and she read their minds to seee what they were saying. Huh, looked like he had his next troublesome group. He wandered over to the other side of the palace.
"Hey, Princess Sarteena Gifted needs to see you," he said.
"Why didn't she just come herself?" Ariel demanded accusingly.
he spread his arms out. "Hey, I dunno, she's supposed to be speaking to Fox at the moment. She just sent me down here to come get you,"
"All of us?" Ariel raised her eyebrow. "And we're conviniently located all together?" She was smarter than the others. She'd noticed the pattern.
"Hey, look, I'm just following orders, okay?" Emric said, keeping the easy smile on his face. However, he was extremley annoyed. This one would have to be dealt with sooner rather than later... he had an idea, and activated his power. he knew exactly what he was going to do.
"Well, I'd like to hear this from Gifted in person, so till then you can just run along home now," Ariel snapped.
"Come on Ariel, I'm going to get in trouble if you guys don't come..." Emric said.
"I dunno Ariel, Honestly I'd be more worried if it were Gifted summonning us all at once," Henrick said.
"I would too, Henrick, but we can't exactly disobey a direct order from the princess," Ariel explained.
"I thought we already established that Emric's alright," Sharie added. "Just a little... you know.."
"Clueless?" Ariel finished pointedly.
"Hey! I am not clueless!" Emric pretended to be offended.
"No offense buddy but yeah, you are," Adrian laughed. "Guys I'm not to worried. She wouldn't be sending Emric if she was planning to do to us what she did to Pierce and Dominic and the like,"
"Yeah, she'd send one of them," Olive nodded.
"Welll... Alright. But guys, be ready, we dont want them pulling some crap on us,"
"Of course," Olive said.
"Come on," Henrik demanded as they began to follow Emric.
Ariel, extremley reluctant, said "Yes, Dad," and followed.


Gifted walked into the room Fox was in, in the same outfit she was in to deliver the speech. "Fox!" She said walking over, her face in a brilliant smile. "I'm so relieved you're alive..." She gave fox a hug which seemed kind of stiff and forced. "Do you want anything? Food, drink..? You look dead on your feet,"

[Dokeshi]

Crow started walking towards the palace where Fox was no doubt at right now, the company he brought with him quickly stalked through the shadows nearby, He soon found himself at the palace doors, and let himself in.

[Gifted]

Xander was talking to one of the guards and saw Crow come in. "Excuse me," he said, turning away from the guard. "Sir! You're not allowed in here unless you need to see... Mr. Crow?" He asked, surprised.

[Dokeshi]

"I'm here to see Gifted...and Fox, move aside please."

[Gifted]

Xander shook his head. "Uh, look,m Crow, I can't do that, if you could just wait mhere, I'll tell Gifted you're here and she'll let you in when she's ready," Xander wasn't fully convinced that Crow would listen, though, so he called "Sharie!" no awnser. "Sharie!"
Alex walked in.
"Hey Ex, you seen Sharie?" Xander asked.
Alex shook his head. "No, man, I haven't seen Sharie, Adrian, Olive, none of your people. None of mine either, 'cept Eloise. Ariel and Emric are tottally gone,"
Xander was a little shaken up by that. "You haven't seen them? Uh.." he remembered what he was supposed to be doing. "Well, IU guess you'll do. Hey Ex, could you do me a favor? Only Mister Crow here wants to see Gifted and I need you to stay here while I go tell her,"
Alex nodded, though you could tell he wasn't happy about it.
Xander left the room.

[Dokeshi]

Crow stood there, somewhat impatiently, the sooner Fox was away from Gifted the better.

[Gifted]

Xander went in and told Gifted the news. "Crows here?" She said, surprised. "Oh, wow. Guess he wanted to see you in person, Fox," Gifted nodded to Xander. "Send him in Hangman, the more the merrier,"

[Diz]

Diz was becoming rather curious as to what was going on with Fox, so, she picked up her phone and dialed Gifted's number.
