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? |

[ That's... to the point?? ]

[ She may be getting mad at this, but, anyone would, after hearing that their home turned into, well, a shell of everything it was before. ]

People got tired of the way they were treated. So they rebelled. The Capitol crushed them and destroyed District Thirteen. People gave up. Stopped fighting. Now we just accept things the way they are.

[ But...that doesn't make any sense. A cataclysm powerful enough to take out 6 out of the 7 continents seems outrageous enough. Not to mention the fact that obviously she'd notice if something like that happened to Japan, unless she's been asleep for a really long time.
Still, this girl doesn't seem like she's lying, of course. And to hear that a place as great as she had thought America was has been taken down by a regime like that... ]
I'm sorry that your world is like that.
[ That's the only way this makes sense to her; Chitoge has to detach herself from it. Her world may be cruel sometimes, yes, unless one does as her mother does, as her family does, and takes it by the balls. But the one Katniss is describing is a whole other level of egregious. It might as well be some kind of bizarro parallel universe. And while it's awful that such a thing happened, even more awful is that they've stopped fighting it. ]

[ ... Here, maybe she can vent some of her frustrations. Then again, Gale isn't here, so who would actually listen to her? She's essentially going to be yelling herself hoarse with no one to hear. ]
... We manage. Survive.

And completely unfair. ]
There's not much we can do about it. President Snow hasn't lifted a finger to help the poorer districts in decades. There's no reason for him to suddenly change his mind.

[ It makes sense, but it doesn't make the system any less shitty. ]
Sounds like he's more like a dictator than a president...
no subject
He's pretty bad, yeah. The type who wants control over everything.
no subject
I can't stand it, personally. But if you just sit back and does nothing, then nothing's gonna change. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that. Even if the odds are stacked against you, well...
I really hope that there's something you can do. To stick it to someone like that, somehow. Even in a small way.
no subject
But I've never had the chance to do anything about it. Snow's all the way across the Panem--the Capitol's in the Rocky Mountains range.
It's hard to get there unless you ride the train.
[ ... But people who ride the train usually never return home. And they certainly don't get close enough to Snow in any way to do something. ]
no subject
[ She's starting to get a handle on how this works. ]
What would you do, if you saw him face-to-face?
no subject
[ ... ]
I'd shoot him through the heart.
[ It's because Snow insisted on continuing the Hunger Games and led to Prim's being picked, after all. ]
