After a few minutes she came back.

"Well, if you don't mind, you really ought to not keep Lady December waiting."

Still not speaking, she slid herself off the windowsill and went to the dining hall.

December seemed a little fazed at seeing April so emotional, but she didn't press it.

She lead her through the door out of the throne room, which opened into a tight stairwell. At the bottom they were met with several of December's guards, who began escorting them out of the building.

--------------

February took a quick glance around, the throne room had quickly fallen into chaos. He didn't need to worry about June and July, with March after them and the guards outside they weren't going anywhere.

No, he would fix this one step at a time. Nice and simple, as it always was.

He stepped around the table, ignoring October and August, and approached a guard who was standing nearby. He'd frozen in shock, uncertainty on his face. February drew the sword he had still sheathed at his hip without looking at him, and kept walking.

He glanced up at the ceiling, where Arke was. He'd take care of the one first.

Febraury threw the sword with surprising strength, and it flew up to the ceiling straight at Arke. @Ookla de los cuervos

------------

Not all of the guards where frozen unfortunately. It might be iffy to attack a month but no one would mind if someone took care of the other prisoners. 

A guard saw Niamh drew her knives, and rushed up to her to restrain her, reaching for her wrists. @Ookla the Inconclusive

Another guard came after Rye, sword swinging. @Ookla Rye

-----------

June was still gripping July's hand. They'd come to a stop at the end of the hall.

March approached from the front, no longer in a rush. He clearly had them corned.

The halls massive doors had opened and around a dozen soldiers were piling in to surround them.

"What were you thinking?!" July yelled at June, struggling to pull away from his grip, "I don't have any weapons on me."

"I wasn't really thinking," June said, his voice unnaturally calm, "It just felt right, so I did it."

"June there's no way this will end well!"

June just shrugged, he seemed distant.

March smirked, "You kids ready to surrender yet or are you still having fun?"

Rye stuffs a bomb into the guard's face and runs away.

"You just stabbed a guy!" He ran a hand over his face. "Listen, what's going on is really none of your business, go along with this and you'll probably get out of this mess with only a little jail time."

"Good enough for me," February said. A soldier handed him some handcuffs, and he put them on Arke.

He shatters the handcuffs, then looks them like "oops, didnt mean that to happen"

February sighed, "I'd appreciate if you didn't do that."

He stood, keeping a very firm grip on Arke's arms and pulling him up with him. "I'll just keep a hold of you myself, I guess."

I thought you said I could procrastinate 

In the hall, right before she opened the door, she heard the sound of ceramic shattering.

Inside, January was holding a knife to December's throat, her arms pinned behind her back. Her tea cup had fallen and and broken on the floor, the liquid spilling in a wide puddle.

Jan looked up at April as she entered.

"Oh good, you're both here, we can get this over with quickly."

this isn't productive???? I'm practicing my prose and collaboration skills buddy how is that not productive

"Yes, let me think," He said, shifting his grip on December, "I really shouldn't kill her yet, not until February's been taking care of, might as well make things easier on myself, right?"

December was staring at her feet, not saying a word.

"That means I ought to take you out first, but if I let her go she'll run . . ." Jan shook his head at himself, "I really wish I had more time to plan this out."

"Y-you mean, for the throne?"

"No, because I just feel like it," Jan said sarcastically, "Of course for the throne, you stupid girl! That's what all this has been about from the very beginning."

"Mhm, you don't want it but your brother does. you'll defend him, and that means your in my way sweetheart," He said, eyeing the tapestries on the wall as if considering using one to tie December up.

"And while December and her demon might not want the throne, they do want their northern province--the area that just so happens to be the strongest and most profitable in the empire, I'm not about to let them walk away with that."

August?

"The only person I wouldn't want on the throne is March- maybe June after what he did, or May- she's too young. Other than that, I, don't, care."

"Look, I know it's been a rough day, but I'll make it nice and quick okay?"

He inched over to a nearby curtain, still holding December, and ripped some of the trim off. He then started to tie December's wrists behind her back with it.

"I appreciate that buddy, I really do," February said. He handed Arke off to a nearby guard, he kept careful hold of him.

"Now time for the others I suppose," He said, turning to the rest of the room.

"Maybe you will on the other side, I don't know," He said. Jan finished tying up December and sat her gingerly in a nearby chair. 

"They'll be there eventually, at the very least."
