Two Arrows

[the_girl_aflame]

[Oh man... this is so awkward for her. Katniss has never really used a journal. Let alone spoken into one before. It's quite a new experience. This gets dictated cautiously and slowly, as if she's making sure the thing has time to get all of her words down]

...Hello? My name... is Katniss Everdeen. I am sixteen years old. A few days ago, me and my

Hunger games?

It ain't really familiar, but we weren't really playin' a lot of games when it came to eatin', where I'm from.

[the_girl_aflame]

It's not really a... fun game. It's a fight to the death.

[onemanshort]

Oh... well that sounds like all sorts of unpleasant.

[shaking her head (not that Katniss can see it)] Well, you won't have to worry none about that hear. Least not that I've heard.

[azure_guardian]

[have an extremely horse voice answer.]

H-hello Katniss. My n-name is Kite.

I-I'm afraid I h-have not h-heard o-of the Hunger G-Games o-or Panem. B-but I a-am willing t-to answer a-any questions you m-may have.

[the_girl_aflame]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Kite.

I don't think I come from the same world as many people here, so it's alright.

Well, the main question I have is... What is this place?

[azure_guardian]

T-this place is called Paradisa. N-not as nice as i-it sound t-though.

[the_girl_aflame]

Really? So, there's a catch?

[delincuente]

[Oh hey, another girl her age. Never mind that everything she said was pretty much gibberish, and Alex has nothing to contribute. She'll jump in anyway.]

Hunger Games? Unless it has something to do with fighting over the last enchilada, I got nothing. [She laughs, as though she thought what she said was hilarious.]

[the_girl_aflame]

It has something to do with a fight, but nothing really to do with food.

It's a fight to the death.

[delincuente]

[Some major eyebrow-raising is going on now.]

Fight to the death? Well that's a downer. Yeah, I'm just gonna take a guess here and say that this Panini place isn't on Earth.

[the_girl_aflame]

It is. And it's televised. You have to watch innocent people die.

Panem? It is on earth, actually. It's located in a place which was once called the United States.

[blorks]

Hunger games, huh?

Sounds like pizza night back in X-Factor.

[the_girl_aflame]

[all of these food references are almost making her laugh with how silly it is]

Not so much related to food. Although there is a feast where the remaining tributes can go and kill each other for food...

[blorks]

...

Okay, now I'm getting creepy vibes. Tributes being...? please say cows and sheep, please say cows and sheep

[the_girl_aflame]

It's not creepy, really. Very cruel and frightening is more the word.

Tributes being anyone reaped between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Including me and my friend.

[payback]

You're not necessarily gonna find anyone here who recognizes exactly what you know from home... there are a lot of worlds represented.

Anyway, what other questions do you have?

[the_girl_aflame]

It seems like I'm the only one that knows about my world. Besides my friend.

Well... How can you leave?

[payback]

I wouldn't be surprised. There's not really anyone from my home here either. I know there are some others who seem to be alone.

Anyway, by leaving do you mean getting back to your home, or just ditching the castle?

[the_girl_aflame]

It's never great to be alone.

I suppose both. Is there a way to get back to the... Real world? My world?
