blown away || diamond & nick {blitz}

    

Diamond runs a hand along her forehead as it slips across the sweat that has settled there. Her body seems to move mechanically, without any thought while she walks down the winding avenue. Her eyes are too focused on the figures Penelope has just taken into account in regards to the number of citizens who work in factories without adequate housing. Surely enough the figures are staggering which only makes Diamond's conviction to creating proper places for these people all the more prominent. She has seen what these people face, what they go through every day while others don't even think about their issues. It brings a frown to her face and a furrowing of her brow.

Suddenly Diamond is dropping to the floor as her papers perish to the ground. Smoke and soot shoots up from behind the nearby fences of a junkyard and Diamond watches ember take flight on the wind. Diamond has spent her entire life in this District so it is far from surprising when something, usually a failed experiment, explodes. However, this is the first time she has witnessed an explosion from within a junkyard. Fixing her hair and getting up to her feet, Diamond decides to make the incredibly smart choice to investigate the source of the smoke.

Stepping into the junkyard she speaks calmly while looking at the flickering flames in the center of the yard and the figure fastened beside them. 

"Is everything okay? That was a bit of an... well, explosion."
