( Clary is in the middle of nowhere. Somehow, she's been transported to a place she clearly doesn't want to be. She woke up in the middle of the night to a sound, an absolutely terrible one. And, being who she is, she decided to investigate. Caer Scima is weird, and kind of freaky, in a way that reminds her of places she's not altogether cool with. Fairies, still not cool, never going to be cool. But when she goes to check out the weird noise, when she goes to fix it... Bam. Just. Bam. Middle of the forest. Not really sure where. But it's dark, and there are a lot of noises she's not cool with, and she's pretty unarmed. She has her stele, which only sort of works here, and that's it. )

So... Anybody else... I dunno, randomly planted in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night for no reason? Because I'm kinda up the creek without a paddle... ( HELP 8( ) I seriously have... No idea, whatsoever, where I am. And it's too dark to see anything... So I'm not going to try to get out. Not until morning. But if there's anyone who recognizes my surroundings - ( She waves her locket around, but it's a pretty random location. Basically just looks like any other stretch of woods. )

I'd send up a flare, but, unfortunately? Don't have one.

[Peeta's dressing as he turns on the video (he's already put on his pants so you just get a view of his bare chest is all, sorry). Clary is one of his favorite people here, and as soon as he heard what was going on, he got up and was getting ready for a rescue. He puts on the shoes from the arena and grabs the Capitol knife as he talks, throwing things into a bag.]

I'm coming, Clary.

[Granted, he has no idea what he's doing, but.]

( it's a very manly chest, she's just going to try not to think of her boyfriend. nice chests attached to blonde hair. pretty cool. definitely okay with her. clary's relieved to see peeta's face though, on the other end of the locket. he's a good person and a good guy in general and he's her friend. )

-- Do you even know where I am? It's like three in the morning..

Um...

[Nope. He thinks for a moment.]

You're supposed to be able to tell from the moon, right? Or just the sun, maybe...

[They're doomed.]

Peeta. ( She's stern in her tone and the look on her face says 'no unnecessary risk taking for me please'. ) First of all, I think it's the sun, and second, you could just -- wait. Until sunrise? I mean, I'll be okay. I think I might be able to scale a tree if I need to... I'm just not sure I can find my way back, even come morning.

[He ignores her tone.] Clary. The sooner I leave, the sooner I'll find you.

( just what she needs: more blonde boys doing stupid things for her sake. ) I don't want you getting lost trying to find me. Wouldn't that kind of make the point moot?

The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll make it worse.

[ interjected calmly, though the lack of any inflection evidence gale's annoyance well for those who know him.

his voice is still lined with sleep. it bleeds away as he drives himself to wake, prompted by the rustling he had heard and clary's subsequent call for help.

( and because he cannot let it go. someone is being wrong on the network. ) ]

And it's the sun and the stars you use for direction. And you can only use the stars if you know them.

[He switches to audio quickly, fuming.] I get it. You know more about this stuff. But I'm still going.

( shades of jace and simon

here we go )

Don't be stupid.

[ he debates before switching to a private feed. ]

Someone has to stay with Katniss. You know that.

I don't think Katniss wants me near her right now. I'd be of more use to you.

[But he's clearly struggling with this idea. On one hand, he could stay behind and try to get her to be more comfortable with him. On the other, Clary's in trouble, and Katniss is probably going to avoid him the whole time. But he does think he'd be helpful.]

She still needs to be told.

[ a harsh inhale. ]

Fine. I'll meet you at the gate in an hour. If you're not ready by then, I'm leaving you.

[ he has been sleeping in fits and starts all night. tired, but too paranoid and too untrusting with so many new and odd sounds. the message he is greeted by on his locket makes the lingering haze of sleep evaporate. he scrubs his face and gets up. ]

Clary, [ gale speaks gently, a warm, soothing tone he uses on the animals he traps prior to killing them, ] you're going to be fine.

[ as he talks, gale tugs on his boots, pulls his jacket around him. he selects the longer bow of the two he has ( both katniss' father's, he will never stop owing a man he never met ) and draws the quiver over his shoulder. gale packs the knife and the net too in a leather hunting bag, and a coil of wire.

if she's in the woods, he thinks he is, they can't take any chances. ]

I want you to do as I say, okay? First, can you tell me if you're injured?

( Clary is uncomfortable, but not so much panicked as she is very, very annoyed. And she's lost. Which amplifies said annoyance. Still, there is an undeniable amount of persuasion in the calmness of his voice. She's compelled to listen. )

My ankle hurts a little, but I've already got an iratze on it. It's only sort of working, but it's in less pain, and I don't think it's anything serious. I just landed on it wrong.

Okay. [ he trusts that clary doesn't need to be told to take it easy on that leg. ] Tell me if you recognize any of the plants around you. Or the trees.

( Clary's quiet for a moment as she looks around. It's just trees and flowers. There's nothing distinctly memorable about any of them, really. ) I don't know -- pine? They're just trees.

Different question: you know what willows are?

Yeah. ( Duh. ) Is there something special about them I should know?

[ bluntly: ] Stay away from them. Some of the plants will try to trap you. If my source is right, the willows are the worst.

( in clary speak you just said PLEASE GO FIND A WILLOW. but she'll listen for now. She sighs. ) Great. Lost in the middle of the woods at buttcrack-o-clock, and there's a potential I could be kidnapped by a tree. Because my life wasn't bizarre enough already.

You ought to be careful what you wish for.

[ and terrible jokes, this is your lucky ungodly early in the morning, clary. ]

I'm going out to find you. I'll keep the locket on me. Anything changes or you see anything, tell me.

Hey, never said I wanted that. I'm just acknowledging the fact that it's a very real possibility. ( sorry gale she didn't intend to like wake you up and make you come save her. ) I think I'll just stand in this one place. Maybe sit, if it takes you a while. You really don't have to leave right now, though.... You can wait. I'll be fine.

I'm going to get the things ready to leave. That should take a while anyway.

[ only because he's apparently dragging peeta along his life. ]

Please just be careful, Gale. ( She doesn't want him to get lost or hurt just because of her. Seriously. ) I don't know how to fix injuries on mundanes.

Don't worry about me. I got an iratze of my own.

Oh, do you? And what is it? ( SHE DOESN'T BEREEB U )

A splint and bandages.

Not as easy to apply.

Works, though. [ so there. ]

I'll call you when we're leaving.

Thank you, Gale.
