[There’s a girl staring down at the netbook in blank incomprehension. Observant people might notice the burn scars on her hands, crawling up her neck. Slowly, her gaze drags upwards to see the light that indicates the camera’s on, and recognition flickers in her eyes. She sets the netbook down and sits on a bed nearby, curling her feet under her. One hand is clenched around a bow, and the quiver is on her back already] You can see me, can’t you. [It’s not a question, and she doesn’t even appear to be addressing the camera.] Of course you can. They’re always watching.

It was supposed to be over. All of this. The fighting, the killing. It was supposed to be over. And don’t tell me there might not be killing. You don’t hand a victor a weapon and expect them not to use it.

[She stands, swiftly, drawing an arrow from the quiver and setting it on the string in one smooth movement. It’s aimed at the netbook. The expression on the girl’s face is almost too intense. A smile touches her lips, but there’s nothing positive in the expression] If you want me to fight for you, I’m going to need you to bring me Peeta.

[Her arms jerk up, aiming elsewhere, and the arrow is released. There’s a crash that indicates she hit something, and judging by the look of hard satisfaction in her eyes, it’s what she wanted to hit.] I could use Haymitch, too.

[Finnick's head tilts slightly as he eyes Katniss, a smile tugging at his lips.] Well if it isn't the girl on fire.

[effective]

[The bow clatters to the floor; she's not quite in the mindset of 'always hold onto your weapon yet'. The look on her face is like she's seen a ghost] Not possible.

[insecrets]

[Ah. So she's after he dies, too. The look on his face sort of says that he knows this happens to him, the smile wiped effectively, the slightly dead look to his eyes.] My head hasn't been eaten off yet.

[effective]

[She sits down on the bed again, like she's abruptly run out of energy] I saw it. I saw you! I watched you die, Finnick, you have no right to come back like this, not now! No right! [There's an edge of hysteria in her voice because what the fuck] It was supposed to be over.

You are a fine shot, battle maiden. What are you victor of?

[effective]

'Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire'. [Her expression twists] You don't know?

[godofshawarma]

I have never heard of the name. [ head tilt ] You do not appear to be on fire.

Just when it was starting to get boring, seeing the same faces every day.

[She sounds pleased, despite the sarcasm in her voice. It's been a long time, Mockingjay.]

Unfortunately you've only got the two of us for now.

voice;

[effective]

Yeah. I'm sure that's why they dragged me here, just to entertain you. [Despite her words, Katniss mostly just sounds relieved. Jojo ;3;]

Two? Have you seen--? [is Finnick real???]

voice;

[district7]

Can't be for much else, if you aren't planning to fight. Doesn't matter, though. I'd like a good laugh. [All the smelly hugs.

She pauses, knowing full well who and what she means before trucking on.]

Seen, touched, sat next to on a couch. If he wasn't who he said he was, he could've killed me by now.

I think you might not get exactly what you want here. This is not the same place you came from, even if some things might be similar. [ There's an accent to his words, and a healing cut above his right eyebrow. ]

[effective]

If I don't get what i want, they don't get what they want. It's as simple as that.

This is Exsilium in the year 3312 on the planet Earth. The people that brought here are not as good at grabbing exactly who you want since they themselves are playing with a technology they do not completely understand. In fact, they had to fix an error their machines caused just recently.

So picking a specific person from a specific time frame may not be feasible for them. As for fighting... Do you really think it is as simple as that? To say no and stay locked away?

[ That's some fine archery but cue a confused face. ]

What's a Peeta and a Haymitch?

video;

[effective]

...They're people. [SUPER UNIMPRESSED]

[ganking]

[ ...Oh. ]

Someone seriously named their kids that? [ Gees. ] Huh. Anyway, sorry, sweetheart, don't think I've, uh, run into anyone by either of those names.

Video; lol like he knows how to use anything else yet

[woahwoahawkward]

Miss -- Katniss, is it?

They aren't very prompt with our requests, I'm afraid.

Video; oh, alistair :'D

[effective]

I can wait. [No she can't, she's terrible at that]

Video; sob this is going to be hideous isn't it

[woahwoahawkward]

Ah, well, I -- wish you the best of luck with your request, then.

What did you mean by a 'victor'? If it isn't rude to ask, of course.

[noble_nate]

Nice shot. [Nathaniel looks, and sounds, suitably impressed by that display.]

I'm not sure who those people are you mentioned, but I have to warn you that the Initiative isn't very good about honoring bargains.

[Video]

[effective]

I've had better. [She sounds more matter of fact about it than like she's bragging]

I'm starting to get that impression. That's what they call themselves? The Initiative? Not that I suppose it matters, in the end.

[Video]

[noble_nate]

[Nathaniel nods.]

The Initiative are the ones who are supposedly running things here. We're called Tranpsorts, unsurprisingly.

[atwar]

You believe the Initiative monitors us through these devices?

[effective]

Why wouldn't they?

[atwar]

I am unfamiliar with mortal technology.
