Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be
Who| All those on the breakout mission and all those being made to fight against them.
What| The liberation of District 6.
Where| District 6.
When| This week.
Warnings/Notes| War, violence, death. Please warn for more in headers.
District Six stretches out for miles, a wide expanse of red and brown dirt with only the slightest hint of mountains in the distance. The air is starchy and arid, sucking the moisture right out of the eyes and mouth. The sun pummels down. Everything about the District screams of harshness, of elements cruel in their intensity and exposure being a serious concern. Combatants are advised to hydrate and try to avoid heatstroke in the temperatures rising above a hundred and fifteen fahrenheit.
People in District Six are too poor to consider their safety, already risking it every day in their jobs at the auto manufacturer with huge under-kept machines and toxic exhaust as they build cars and hovercrafts. Though they know they’re the epicenter of another attack, they go back to their assemblylines, under the watchful and paranoid eyes of Capitolite foremen. There’s an anxious air about the place. People drop their wrenches sometimes and make their screws extra tight, as if fortifying the vehicles against the coming storm.
They’ve been told that there are Rebels attacking, and so the residents here have diligently placed landmines throughout the desert; the wind has already erased all traces of where they are. Other than that, there are machine guns at each factory, aimed towards anyone - anyone - who approaches.
Between that, and subservience, there's not much in the way of propoganda. Most of what's done are the chalk drawings of children. A watch. A coin being flipped. A very small arrow with flame.
Vultures circle high overhead.

with Laia
"You, do you know how to fire this? Because we have less than five seconds before I turn this thing on and haul ass," Cora certainly hasn't lost his brand of people skills, that's for sure. More and more he wished he was working for Coin, especially with his own participation in whatever Jet Link has planned. But for now, appearances.
He's counting down the seconds as he gets the machine running, "Five, four, three, an answer NOW, two, one.."
no subject
Irritable teammates, though? Irritable teammates are the same everywhere. "YES I know how to fire this! Cram it sideways and get this thing rolling!" Her people skills compliment his quite nicely. She's already been able to make sense of the firing mechanisms, and has a feel for how to aim... though she knows it's going to take a shot or two before she's really certain that she can blow the hell out of whatever they're going to need to blow the hell out of.
"You'd better know how to drive this!"

Three opponents seemed to spawn out of the environment, but Leo knows that if they get to the target, the Capitol will lose and more Districts suffer for their failures. So yes, he might be a bit...brash in sideswiping one of them to the right but the ends justify the means.
"Get to the one on the left!" Because this was turning into a lethal instance of bumper cars for Leonidas.
no subject
...damn it, he just purposely crashed into something, didn't he?
"On it!" But Laia will reserve her complaints for later, too. She grits her teeth, takes aim with the unfamiliar controls as best she can at a spot that should hit the general area of the approaching vehicle, and launches the explosive. Which ends up being not a dead-on strike like she'd have preferred, but it blows out the other vehicle's wheel, so that's got to count for something. "There's still one on our six! Get some distance on it and I'll take it out!"
no subject
Leo slammed his foot on the pedal and switched gears, letting the car roar with life and energy. It was enough to jolt the chassis into the telltale skip but this vehicle was getting to the finish line and slaughtering everything in sight.
"Far enough for ya, lady!?"
