The more that happens here, the more this place feels like just another arena. A strange one, with a lot less death. Or drawn out death, I suppose.

I don't really know if that would be better or worse than the alternative. I guess at this point it hardly matters.

It feels like life after the Games but before the Quarter Quell. You only had a year of it, so I don't know if you get what I mean.

[deathbyfrosting]

...It was a strange year.

[johannamason]

The 74th was a strange Game.

[deathbyfrosting]

That's true.

[johannamason]

If this place is drawing out our deaths, they're not being very creative about it.

[deathbyfrosting]

Don't tell me you miss the gamemakers.

[johannamason]

If I miss anything, it's knowing how the game is played.

[deathbyfrosting]

In that sense, it does feel like that year. Not knowing, not knowing anything except not to believe what you're told.

[johannamason]

If you were smart enough to know that early on, you were a lot smarter than most victors their first year out.

[deathbyfrosting]

I wasn't as smart as I needed to be.

[johannamason]

It was better you didn't know everything, I thought you figured that out.

[deathbyfrosting]

It wasn't better. People suffered for my mistakes.

[johannamason]

People were always going to suffer, you making mistakes didn't change that. It was better for you and Katniss that you didn't know everything. That fact you figured out anything in the first year is impressive.

[deathbyfrosting]

I didn't only mean what you and the others knew.

...Still, there's no point in arguing about it now. It's done.

[johannamason]

And now we're both equally clueless here. Not that I think ignorance makes a difference in a person's treatment in the end.

[deathbyfrosting]

You don't think so?
