Mar 28, 2011 17:47

When Katniss returned to her room after today's run, she found a box marked with Haymitch's uneven scrawl on her doorstop. Of course she knew what it was, but that didn't mean she had to open it right away ( Read more... )

Coming fresh from his afternoon spent watching Plaything Saga 3, Wesley maybe wasn't quite prepared for the exact opposite of Pixar animated joy -- which was the tapes of the Hunger Games. Unfortunately, he didn't know what awaited him inside Katniss' room, so as he passed her open door, he knocked anyway.

Then he saw the box full of tapes, and he made the connection.

"Oh," he said. "Are those --?"

"Twenty-four years' worth of Hunger Games," she said, looking up. "Excellent entertainment, really. Can't wait to watch any of these."

Oh, god. Yeah. That... that would have to suck.

"You have to study all these?" he murmured, picking up one of the tapes in disgust. "Seems like a particularly cruel add-on to your sentence."

"I don't have to," she admitted. "Professor Skywalker thought it might be beneficial. I have to agree."

She nudged the stack of discs that were her own Games. "I don't have to watch those, at least. I sort of had a front-row seat."

Firekeeper and Blind Seer had spent most of the day out in the Preserve, and were only just now returning to their room, a couple extra furred-fish in hand that they'd thought to see if Katniss would want.

"What is all these?" They looked like discs of television-stories, but if that were the case, somehow she would have suspected more enthusiasm on Katniss's part at sorting through them. So, something else, then.

"Footage of twenty-four years' worth of Hunger Games," Katniss replied, glancing up. "In case you wanted a bit more violence in your day today."

"Was hoping for just dinner," Firekeeper said in that dry tone that passed for humor when it came from her. She held up the fish to illustrate her statement.

"I've never said no to food," Katniss assured her with a small smile. "Under any circumstances."
