~When the Colors Got Brighter::.

Luyu roared! Roaaar! Then she climbed atop the Cornucopia and brought Mercury's old shirt, setting it on fire. Teehee.

High in the sky, a few specks appeared.

If any of the tributes had noticed, they may have gotten very excited. After all, in the Games, small objects in the sky that grow bigger and bigger are usually very useful packages. Unfortunately for them, these particular missiles were descending far too fast to be attached to parachutes, and were highly unlikely to help the tributes in any way, shape, or form. Indeed, if they did, the person who launched them would probably be fired, because they weren’t supposed to be helpful.

The were the feared- the unspeakable- the deadly.

They were a small cloud of shoes.

The leader was a crystal blue slipper. Light refracted through it as it shifted and fell, giving it a shine that was quite beautiful but did nothing to lessen the deadly force of gravity-pulled stone. Directly behind it came a much plainer but equally dangerous piece of footwear: a simple flip-flop, weighted down with fake gemstones along the strap. Both crashed down toward Ember with what could be construed as enthusiasm- or perhaps bloodlust.

A few shoes, poorly aimed or perhaps well-dodged, fell around the surrounding area. However, enough were falling that not even the most skilled evader could escape them all, and Luyu found herself the victim of a matched set of blue athletic trainers. Their black laces streamed out in the air behind them, only to flop down when the shoes landed, like the limp wings of a wounded shoe-angel.

A few even managed to ricochet off the inside lip of the Cornucopia so hard that they didn’t lose too much momentum before whacking into Joshua. The white sneaker came up just too short and stopped outside of the golden horn, but its companions- a small sandal and some sort of old-fashioned wooden slipper- bounced right on in. The Cornucopia clanged long after they fell to the ground, a testament to the force of the shoes.
