Welcome.
You don't remember how you got here. It may be one of the first things to occur to you when you wake up, that you don't know when you got here, what you were doing involved nothing like this; granted, it's also possible that it doesn't matter – that whatever circumstances you last remember have nothing on the fact that this bed is really comfortable and the room around you is gently-lit. It's warm, but it's nowhere near where you're supposed to be. Whatever you think of it, the fact is that you can't stay there forever; there's a silver key resting on that trunk near your bed, and you might want to take it on the way out. It's no big deal if you don't, exactly – it won't lock automatically after you close the door, that has to be done manually – but it'll probably become clear that privacy is a commodity in a place like this. After all, you aren't alone; the hallway is likely quick to become populated with other people that are just as confused as you are. Go ahead and talk to them if you'd like; none of you will know exactly how you got to the building with the wooden walls and the odd windows that no one can see through, but that doesn't mean you can't get to know each other on the way to...wherever it is that you're going. Wander long enough and you may hear the chiming of a clock nearby. It's hard to tell whether it's telling you it's very early or very late at night, but checking out the room it's in eventually might be a good idea regardless; it's large and open, designed to accommodate social gatherings from the look of it, with the clock in question mounted against the western wall. It isn't the only thing here, though – there's a large frame set into the wall nearby, and it contains some information that might be relevant to your interests... Or perhaps your attention is drawn instead to the other framed information nearby; don't worry if you miss it in here, though. It's posted in every other room in the building. There's also the matter of the large double-doors at the end of the room; they aren't going to open, regardless of what you do. Looks like you're trapped here for the time being. Might as well see who's here with you, right? |

Yeah, that's exactly the look she's got, though it slowly inches into a frown as she curls her hands into fists like she's ready 2 throwdown. (ง •̀_•́)ง ]
Love isn't shallow! It's the most important thing in the entire world! [ And it's like, super sad that Katniss thinks it is!
Too bad Aligula's not a person capable of genuine pity when she's been insulted. Which she clearly has been. Clearly. ]
no subject
Really? That's what you think is the most important thing? Not food, or having clean clothes, or not dying from exposure?
no subject
Still: ] Yes. I mean, what's the point in living if there's no one who loves you, or you don't have someone to live for? That's what love is, Resolute. Wanting to be with someone, sharing your lives, doing anything for them because being with them makes everything seem a little less horrible...
[ She's such a hopeless romantic, but Aligula'll tilt her head in consideration. ]
That doesn't just apply to romance either, I guess. [ She guesses, because she's never thought about anything relating to love that wasn't romantic?? ] There's totally tons of humas that'll risk everything for like, family and friends.
But anyway, like I was saying, love is totally super important! [ yyyyep. ] That's why people say, "Love conquers all!"
no subject
[ ... When she puts it that way... Katniss had volunteered for Prim. She'd done what she could to keep her alive. It's kind of the same thing, isn't it? ]
My sister. I'd do anything for her. That's what you're talking about. Right?
no subject
she can at least stop looking so offended and relax a little. Bouncing on her heels! ]
If it fits, then totally! There's nothing wrong with feeling like that about your siblings. [ ...let's never take that sentence out of this context, holy shit. ] There's the important things in life, and then there's the important things in life.
no subject
She's the most important person in my life.
no subject
And in the most sweet, genuinely interested tone in the history of ever: ] Wanna swap stories? You can tell me all about your sister, and I can tell you all about my sweetheart!
[ ... ]
I've never had a sister before and you've never had a sweetheart, obviously, so this'll be an awesome experience for the both of us!
[ And it's better than worrying about, like, how getting away with murder is the only way to win, and how one of them is actually 100% okay with that— ]
no subject
... Sure.
[ How did this happen. ]
no subject
Okay! So like— [ ohhhh hold on, hold on! She's gonna grab Katniss' hand, if that's okay. Wrist if not. Arm otherwise. ] Let's find somewhere to sit down first! I'm totally tired of standing around.
no subject
Dining room, [ she says, gritting her teeth. ]
no subject
So yes! Dining room, as fast as she can manage to pull her along. It'll probably feel great when she finally lets go of her wrist, opting to sit on a table instead of in a seat. Tables are great, okay. And taller than chairs. ]
So, so! You first, you first. What's having a sister like? Is she prim and proper? Why's she so important? Would you kill someone for her? Give me all the de~ets!
[ give her a minute to get a word in, aligula, jesus christ ]
no subject
Oh my god, so many questions. Give her a moment to gather her bearings. ]
Her name is Primrose. She's twelve, and I'm the only one she has. She's a lot more gentle than me. She's the best person I know.
[ ... ]
I'd kill for her. Over and over.
no subject
[ ...sorry, she's difficult. ]
no subject
no subject
Maaaaaaybe it's one that fits the crime? Kill someone, get caught, get killed. [ That sounds incredibly reasonable, given
well.
They're basically in a killing game. ]
no subject
no subject
So your sister's not worth the risk. [ Wellll. ] Right now, anyway. If that changed somehow, would you do it? Like, if you were really sure you could get away with it, would you try?
no subject
Katniss stands up, hands curling into fists. ]
You don't know what you're talking about. If I die, so does she. She depends on me for food and everything. Don't you dare assume that I wouldn't do anything for her.
Because I would. If I could get away with it, I would.
no subject
Then she sits back, raises them up, and—starts clapping. ]
Oooh, I totally knew we'd land on the same page sometime! [ The clapping softens as she talks, swaying back and forth a little. ] So so, what's it like having a sister? Is it nice? Is it annoying? Like, I know she's super important to you, but that doesn't mean it can't be a trial sometimes! Love always is!
no subject
It's not annoying. [ She's angry that you'd even suggest such a thing. ]
no subject
[ ...no she like sounds genuinely impressed and happy about that, that's not sarcasm at all. ]
Even Deldro and I had our fights, even if they never lasted long! [ What other things are there..? ] Do you have parents too? What's that like?
no subject
A shadow comes over Katniss's expression. ]
My mother is a doctor. Used to be, anyway. My father was a coal miner.
no subject
...Used to be? Was? That totally darkened look? [ ... ] Oh my gosh, are they dead?
no subject
My mother isn't.
no subject
Oh, that's good. [ ...People say something in times like these, right? ] Sorry about your old man?
[ .....SHE TRIED A LITTLE THERE. ]
