WHEN THE SWORD OF REBELLION IS DRAWN,
THE SCABBARD SHOULD BE THROWN AWAY.◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈
◈◈◈◈↙◈◈◈◈
◈◈◈↙◈◈◈
◈◈↙◈◈
◈↙◈ Chris never really paid attention to the other ditchers. Could barely tell you their names. He wasn't surprised it's been a few years for Venus though. She was skilled at it and that didn't just come naturally. It took trial and error, lots of error in his case, but usually he was able to talk his way out of it using his cunning personality.
Chris chuckled again as Venus went to fulfill Vienna's request, and he walked outside. How did he manage to not flunk school? "Well, for one they teach the same stuff over and over again. Plus I just use some wordplay around the teachers." Chris shrugged. Sometimes he would play the orphan card on his teachers when they got a bit serious about his ditching. They were easily manipulated and his acting skills were spot on.
Chris watched Vienna try and climb the tree as Venus started climbing out her window. Vienna didn't seem to be getting very far and Chris was just studying the tree for a few moment looking at the various holds and supports. Chris didn't laugh but his eyebrows rose and a small smile was on his lips. "Well nice try but tree hugging doesn't normally help you." Chris approached the tree and put a hand on it pausing for a moment. "Try and find some places to grip with your hands and put pressure on with your feet." He explained before beginning his ascent.
The tree was a fairly good size but since Chris had spent a few moments examining it first as he always did with the orchard trees he was able to pick out some places to try climbing. Even if there was nowhere to put his feet he was able to push off from the trunk. He managed to get to a sturdy branch not at all high up with minimal scratching.
Out Of Control: Sorry really crappy post cuz i've been having writers block and been feeling crappy lately.

Venus had pulled herself up onto the peak of the roof when she heard Vienna's question. The Chris' answer. She sat on the point of the roof, thinking about it for a second. Pretty much the same as Chris. She nodded in agreement. "Yeah. And when you are there and they hardly notice you anyway, it doesn't make much difference. As long as you get the grades when you're there." She said.
Taking the souls of her feet from the roof, well, at least enough to let herself slide, she half slid half skidded down the side of the roof. When she landed on the overhang, she stood and walked over to the edge. Looking down she saw Vienna hugging and sliding down the tree. The resemblance of a koala bear came to mind. Making it harder for her to keep her expression relatively plain. But she couldn't hide a the smile that tugged at her lips and the amusement in her eyes.
Sitting down on the edge of the roof, she crossed her legs and crossed her arms over her lap. She looked down again as Chris walked up to the tree and advised Vienna on what to do. "What he said." She agreed. She watched as Chris climbed.
Venus noticed he seemed to have an idea of what he was doing. Not just that he had experience climbing. But he knew where to find the best hand holds. She guessed he had been studying the tree a bit before she had looked down to them. When he was on one of the sturdier branches she didn't notice too many scratches. "Nice. I can get you something for those later if you want." She said, meaning the small cuts.
Not much. Rubbing alcohol or whatever kind of alcohol it was to clean the cuts. Then bandages. Medicine wasn't too easy to come by if you were one of the lower residents of the district. Unlike District 6 where she guessed everyone had their own mini hospital or advanced first aid kit in their homes.

Well that's how she thought normal people climbed trees. Everyone made it look so easy. She thought all you had to do was kind of like throw your arms around it and in some kind of magical way the tree would pull you up now she was embarrassed. She had to cover in someway. She didn't want to look like a chump in front of them. She scoffed. "Haha! I was just testing you! don't worry I know what I am doing, guys." She said trying to sound as sure of herself as she could. She did exactly what Chris did. She pulled herself up onto the highest branch she could and remarkably she actually landed up on a branch. A feeling of pure victory rushed through her. This was a monumental moment for her. She couldn't believe it. "Oooh!! Yay!!" She smiled at her accomplishment. She waved at Chris who was down lower. how she did that with such ease...she had some sort of...skill. But it was weird since she had never climbed before. Of course her dear friends didn't need to know that. She pulled herself up on a high branch, and looked down. This was pretty high up and her hand probably were already splintered beyond compare. There was a great horrible rush of pain in her arms but she tried to fight the pain. "You should come join us...V-Venus." She smiled painfully in a forced manner.

Venus smiled a bit again and chuckled when Vienna tried to cover it. She didn't know about Chris, but she could tell Vienna was lying. She had a feeling Vienna had never climbed or even touched a tree besides the days she 'forced' herself to work off guilt in the orchards. Of course a good portion of kids at least try and climb the trees every now and then. They were in District 11 for jeez sakes.
Venus watches as Vienna attempted at and, surprisingly, accomplished, mimicking what Chris did. Managing to get farely high. She guessed that Vienna, being Vienna, had gotten caught up in actually managing to climb and the adventure of it, that she didn't realize how high she'd gone. She looked up at the girl, seeing past her little farce as usual.
For one, Vienna was much too proud of her accomplishment to have done it before. Had she done it before, she would maybe have bragged or flaunted or something. But that was the excitement and adrenaline of a first timer. Skill? Mm maybe. A good listener with the mind and memory of an elephant? More likely.
She narrowed her eyes a bit when Vienna invited her to join them. Why did she hear pain in her voice? The stutter when she said her name proved it. Something wasn't right. Venus uncrossed her legs and stood. "You okay there Vi?" She asked. She was already standing on the edge of the roof. Jumping, she landed on the branch across from her, but didn't stop. Instead she easily pulled herself up the branches and tree to the branch Vienna stood on.
Balancing next to her, she looked at her in a bit of concern. "Everything alright Vienna? Sprain something?" She asked. Not teasing, not taunting. Honest concern. If Vienna was hurt or got hurt, it would be her fault. Not that guilt plagued her too badly at most times, but Vienna was a friend. So the guilt would stay a bit longer.
{lol i just realized this makes her sound like a horrible person x3)

xxxxIx t a k ex myx a i m,x sox youx f e e lx mex comingx c l o s e.Vienna wore a very confident smirk on her face. She couldn't believe even after all this made it up this high. She didn't think she had ever been that high before. She was definitively going to come to of the experience way more confident and standing taller. She actually wondered. How did she manage to get all the way up. It was pretty much a blur until she got up here. It was probably sheer detrimination that got her all the way up here. She dropped the little stick this and let her hand grasp the branch she was sitting on. She looked down at Venus who asked if she was okay. Truth be told...she wasn't okay. Not in the slightest bit. Being this high up actually gave her a bit a nausea but she was also strangely enough kind of enjoying this. The adrenaline pumping through her veins. The adventure...the thrill. It was an amazing combination. She smiled as the wind blew her pretty hair in different directions before she answered. "Haha...yeah, never better." She said. The blonde hated that she was such a bad liar. If only she could be a good liar like those kids form District 1. When Venus climbed up onto her branch, Vienna looked startled. "Uh hiii..." The 16 year old choked out with a wide grin . "Isn't it fun up here?" She asked Venus with a sweet smile. She was actually good at this climbing thing...maybe even a natural. She shot Chris a look as to say; "Hii there you've been awfully quiet, how goes it?". She looked down and gulped. "Hey look at how small everything looks!!" She pointed and let go off the branch she was sitting. She leaned down looking at everyone. "Wow we must be really high up Ve-.." She stopped her words with a blood curdling scream came out of her mouth. the next thing she knew...she was FALLING out of the tree.

Venus didn't quite believe Vienna. Of course she wasn't the best of liars in general. But the fact of the forced laugh just made it obvious. Which had been one thing that had confirmed her suspicion and made her climb up to her friend. Whether Vienna was going to admit it or not. something was up.
When she got to the branch and she realized she'd startled Vienna, she raised an eyebrow. So much for experienced climber. All good climbers are always aware of their surroundings. Had Vienna known what she'd been doing, she'd have been at least balanced against the tree trunk more so she didn't get shaken off when Venus stepped on.
She tilted her head a bit at her question. Trying to prove she was totally calm or okay with this. Which was hard to believe. Considering she sounded like a toddler who'd just tried something really new or fun to her. No offence to Vienna. She was just that bad of a liar and faker.
She was going to point out that Vienna should keep holding onto the branch. That she could point with her other hand. Especially when she leaned forward, did Venus worry and slight urgency grow. She took a small step closer and opened her mouth to warn her when she, inevitably, fell off the branch.
Not letting herself panic, or do anything stupid, Venus kept her head straight. Though she didn't waste any time in dropping onto her stomach, quite painfully, and acting. Venus managed to wrap and lock her fingers around one of Vienna's wrists before she got too out of reach. Her lungs, having been slightly crushed on impact of the branch, hurt but she tried to ignore it. As well as the sharp pain of Vienna's weight coming to an abrupt stop with her arm and sort of yanking her arm out of it's socket.
Gritting her teeth, Venus wrapped her legs and free arm around the branch so she wouldn't slid herself. Looking down at Vienna, she said "Vienna, grab my wrist with your other hand." Somehow calmly. Though it did come out as a slightly breathless instruction. Not quite having all the air back in her lungs.

◈↙◈Vienna seemed a bit shaken by the sounds of it. Her voice was shaky and Chris wondered if she had hurt something. It wasn't an out there thought she was a beginner and was climbing quite high. She probably had some natural talent in her somewhere.
It happened all so fast and Chris wasn't in the best position to jump to the rescue. He managed to get under Vienna though still quite far down. Luckily Venus caught her wrist and Chris quickly began climbing to help aid Vienna in returning to her branch.
Chris wasn't really sure what had happened. He noticed Vienna yelling to him and then suddenly she was leaning over the branch and then she had fallen. Okay maybe he was sure, but it took him thinking it in order to figure it out.
Chris was now underneath Vienna almost in reach of her feet. If she couldn't manage to pull herself up he could help a bit by giving her a little extra boost. Chris was fairly strong even though his muscles didn't show much.

The over pampered blonde swore she saw her entire life flash before her eyes. Every single time she did something she wished she could take back. When she accidentally flushed her mothers stud earrings down the toilet when she was 6. When she blamed her cousin/brother for that time she broke the little lamp in the living area. He had gotten orchard privileges taken away for a week after that lie. She felt like her cousin never really forgave her for lying. Even about such a small and harm less thing as breaking a lamp. When she pushed that old lady down in the black market and didn't even bother to make sure if the poor woman was okay. The images lasted about 10 seconds each and each brought a new and intense pain in her mind. How could she be so mean...so cruel. The was disgusted with herself...what a terrible person she had been.
Then suddenly some of the good memories of herself flooded in her mind. That time that she bought that sad beggar family with the 3 children enough food for a while. Or that other time she helped find that little boy Todd Bollinger's pet lizard, MistFit (even though, she could barely even touch that thing without puking)...The memories were interrupted by Venus' shriek of "Grab my wrist with your other hand!". So she wasn't dead. She was sure as sweet, horrible hell that she was dead as a doorknob. She grabbed her wrist and pulled herself up with a huff, using the Chris underneath her to give her the extra bit of a push to get back to her branch.
Vienna used Venus' arm as a support to help her get up safety. She took in a few deep very fast breathes of air as she landed back on the branch. She knew what was going to happen. Chris and Venus were going to read her the riot act and scold her for lying to them. He put on hand on her reddened face and the other on the tree branch, keeping her completely balanced. "Look...I'm sorry...I'm sorry I lied to you guys." She began in that sing song voice of hers that lost a bit of it's happiness. "I just...you just..I..you guys seem so much cooler then me. Since I was born with a lot of..luxuries average folk around the district don't usually have." She said avoiding the word "money". "I never really got to do the normal child hood things you guys had to learn...like climbing trees and like hard work. With the exception of school." She said looking over at both of them her face greatly saddened and her eyes full of regret for her act of foolishness. 'I thought that if I pretended to know how to climb, you guys would think of me as more of a fun, interesting normal classed citizen rather then 'that-girl-with-the-rich-victor-mother-who-has-never-worked-a-day-in-her-life.' "She bit her lip, to keep her emotions steady. "I am sorry about you wrist Venus...and I am sorry I got you hands dirty with whatever mud was on my shoes Chris."

"Thanks Chris." She said gratefully. Venus was glad Chris was there beneath Vienna to help her. She had a feeling it would have been a lot more precarious had Venus been pulling her up herself. Even after Vienna was on the branch and safely balanced, Venus stayed laying on the branch. Literally biting back groans of pain. All the waves of fire came and went to her shoulder and arm. Throb. Throb. Throb... She could almost hear it. Or was that her heart? She wasn't really sure. What she was sure of, was her shoulder was dislocated and possibly a busted joint in her elbow or wrist. How she managed to not pass out, well, not too much of a mystery, yet she was still surprised.
In all honesty, Venus was in no mood, or condition, to start scolding Vienna. So when Vienna went off with her apology and explanation, she just stayed quiet. The sadness and embarrassment was obvious, but she wasn't going to call her out. Instead, when she was done, she carefully got into a sitting position and put a hand on her shoulder. Closing her eyes, she focused on her breathing as she spoke. "It's fine Vienna." She shifted to look up at Vienna and sucked in a short gasp before speaking again. "Just glad we were hear and you're alive." She said.
"You don't have to pretend to be fun or cool, Vienna. You are in your own way. A piece of advice, don't try and be like someone if you're risking your neck." Venus didn't say it scolding or harshly. Just in complete seriousness. Throb. Throb. Throb... Next on her list of things to do today: pop her shoulder into place. Get some ice. And a bucket of painkillers. Oh joy that would be fun.
"How are you? Twist anything?" She asked Vienna. Looking down, she figured they should probably get down. Or at least lower than they were now. "Hold that thought." She said before standing. Taking her good hand off her right shoulder, she started climbing back down. Which consisted of a series of slides, scrapes, and branch grabbing. Careful to use her right arm as little as possible. When she had her feet planted firmly on the ground, she brushed herself off and felt her shoulder. To-do list item one. Leaning against the tree for support, she tried not to tense too much, making it more painful.
Relocating a dislocated shoulder isn't fun. Or easy. It's easier with two people. But she just wanted to get it over with. And the damage wasn't too bad. Well, out of place wise. Venus grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and yanked. Walling back tears that welled in her eyes, she twisted the shoulder and her neck back into place. When it was over and done with she let out a breath she hadn't known she had been holding. Still on fire, the shoulder hadn't ceased throbbing. But now it was faster and no doubt soon to be numb.
Looking back up at the two, she let her arm hand pretty much limp. "I'm not gonna make you two get down. I just needed ground under my feet." She told them. Pushing back down a bit of light-headedness. Then she let herself slide down the trunk of the tree, now sitting against it instead of leaning. Throb throb throb. Throb throb throb Once she was alone, and after the pain killers, she planned on crawling into bed and sleeping for a long time. She would deal with her father later. Plus, she wouldn't have to tell him everything. Bend the truth a bit.
