Rory Noland: District Seven Female Tribute
Dividing the watch was easy. Rowan would take the first watch alone. Tank, Pearl, and Micha would take the second. And Jasmine and Rory would take the third.
Rory felt a general uneasiness as she told Pearl and Micha to go to sleep. With the feast happening tomorrow they needed their rest. However the split weighed on her mind and it could be bloody or it could not. If Pearl and Micha put up a fight they would be cut down. But then again, they could always kill them. And deal with the aftermath later. However, as Rory looked down at her hands, she remembered what she did to Cade.
"Tank you should go to sleep too."[/color] Rory told her district mate. She didn't want to raise suspicion.
"Rowan, I need to talk to you for a second. Jasmine you should come too. We need to talk about tomorrow."[/color] It should be no surprise that Rory was giving orders. She had become their tiny general. Most trusted her judgement. Hopefully the others thought that Rory was just trying to give further instructions. Rowan, Jasmine, and Rory were the tacticians.

"You got it, Rory." Rowan said easily; placing her pack next to where Tank stood. "Have a good rest, big guy." She says sincerely to her district mate. She gives a nod to Micha and Pearl as she passes them. The young ladies seem content to sit on the sandy floor of the wasteland. The mutely nod to Rowan as she passes them. They appear apprehensive; glancing around the wasteland. Perhaps the dinosaur footage had them on edge.
Rowan approaches Rory; standing at her shoulder. "Something up?" She asks quietly.

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 Female[/u]
Jasmine liked the change in temperatures between the frozen tundra and the wasteland. She didn't like the lack cover, but... it was far better to not worry about losing digits to frostbite, or dying like Klo had done. She drew a quiet breath and helped to set up the camp. When Rory called her and Rowan away, she went willingly, off to the side.
She guessed she needed to discuss what to do about Micha and Pearl. She had suggestions that didn't involve abandonment or murder on the immediate future. If it came to discussing that she was ready to pitch the fresh idea. If not... she'd bring it up later.
"Whatcha need'a discuss?" Jasmine asked.

Rory Noland: District Seven Female Tribute
They didn't go to sleep, Rory noted as she passed Pearl and Micha. And she schooled her face. Rory looked tired no doubt. She'd play that up. It wasn't the burden of betrayal that wore her down, just the games.
"Very little cover... No trees..."[/color] Rory said as she glanced around. "No fires. But I don't think we'll need one."[/color] She stepped closer to Rowan and Jasmine as her voice dropped. "We're leaving them before dawn."[/color]
She glanced over to Jasmine and a darkness filled Rory's eyes for a moment before it was gone and she regarded her alliance mate with a smile. And then continued in a normal voice. "Wake me up before each shift change. We have flashlights and batteries but I don't want to use them."[/color]

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 Female[/u]
Jasmine'd already opened her jacket, and was seriously considering shedding it entirely when Rory said no fires. They definitely wouldn't need one here. Water.. Water was what they'd need here. She nodded her agreement to that statement, though reached out and touched Rory's arm at her next statement. It had been Jasmine's idea to leave them behind, but that was before the announcement of a feast.
Now they may be moved as pawns or trapfinders...
"They might be useful tomorrow, 'pecially if they stay other's hands," she said quietly, keeping her voice pitched low to carry no further than their little trio. She didn't add that if they convinced Pearl and Micha to walk first, they'd also be the ones to blunder into traps first. "But if'n yer wanting to stick tuh th'original plan..."
She wasn't going to back off of the original plan either, but did want to seed the new one she'd come up with.
"Flashlights oughta only be used incase o' emergency... same fer fire, too open out 'ere otherwise," she said in a normal voice.

Rory Noland: District Seven Female Tribute
Rory only nodded once. Jasmine had a point. But Rory knew that the longer they kept them on. The harder it was going to be to separate from them.
"Okay..."[/color] Rory replied. "What do you think?"[/color]
Rory had checked the supplies. They had more than enough water to last them until mid day tomorrow.
"We need a system for waking people up. If you tap someone on the right shoulder it means all is well. Left shoulder means that there's trouble."[/color] Rory said again. "Rowan, you need an extra set of eyes for the first watch?"[/color]

Rowan nodded at the decisions. She spoke quietly. "It may seem mean; but the truth is people may be gunning for us when they see that." She nods to the bracelet hanging around Rory's neck. "Another two people make us seem larger; and maybe they don't know that these girls aren't the best fighters. And the trap idea..." She nodded approvingly to Jasmine.
"I got the system." Rowan nodded. "No, you girls go ahead and bed down. You did a lot today."

Rory Noland: District Seven Female Tribute
When Rowan pointed at the bracelet, Rory's hand went up to hold it. It was so tiny but oh so valuable. "Alright..."[/color] she replied, trying to keep a brave face. Oh maybe she was starting to harden. The truth was, Micha and Pearl were they're insurance. So long as they were alive, Jace and Lallek would try to talk first before they engaged in combat... At least Rory hoped. If not, they could always... No, Rory wouldn't let herself think like that. Not yet.
She yawned. "Thanks Ro. Let's hope we make it through tomorrow."[/color] She put her hand on Rowan's shoulder and gave it a squeeze before doing the same to Jasmine. "Goodnight everyone. And tomorrow may the odds be ever in our favor..."[/color]
... and no one else's[/color] she added, silently as she laid down for the night.

Jasmine nodded. She was glad to have the possible insurance of Micha and Pearl. If it eased their raid on the feast, it would all be worth it. And if need be, she'd end the pair of them for Rory... it was, after all, her idea that they keep the girls around as a shield and it would be her responsibility to discard the shield when it was time.
She took a breath, and let it out slowly and said, "G'night, ladies... Tank."
She laid down next to Rory, cradling her bow she expected to use the next day, and drifted off to a slightly disturbed sleep.
