we'll just keep being late together i suppose

[hangingtree]

[ That's definitely never been a word used to describe Katniss, but she's hoping it's a joke. Either way, she doesn't feel it necessary to clarify. ]

Cuddlr? No. At least not that I know of. I wouldn't put it past someone in the Capitol to have made something like it, though.

birds of a feather

[administration]

the capitol being what?

yes yes. also 1/2

[hangingtree]

The capitol of Panem.

[hangingtree]

[ There's a couple moments between that text and her next one as she realizes she might need to clarify a bit. ]

That's where I'm from. A long time ago it was called America, if that means anything to you.

[administration]

[ hm. someone from the future? ]

yes, that means something to me. i live in america. new york, specifically.

[hangingtree]

Is that one of the districts of America?

[administration]

they're called states, but technically, yes.

[hangingtree]

[ How odd, calling districts something unique. ]

How many of them are there?

[administration]

50.

[hangingtree]

Wow. There's only ever been 13 and the Capitol in Panem. I guess we really did lose a lot of landmass.

[administration]

lost a lot of landmass how?

[hangingtree]

I'm not really sure about the details - no one is - but the waters rose and Panem actually changed shape from what America used to be. I don't know how specifically it changed, though, I just know it did.

[administration]

sounds bleak.
so you know it as panem now?

[hangingtree]

Yeah.

[ A second text comes through just a couple short seconds after the first. ]

And no, I have no idea why they chose that name, if you were curious.

[administration]

where did you live if not in the capitol?

[hangingtree]

[ This is a hard subject for her to discuss so it takes a few minutes before her response comes. ]

District 12 for most of my life, until it was destroyed in the war. It was one of the furthest from the Capitol.

We produced coal.

[administration]

i'm sure this is true for most people but it sounds like eudio is acting as quite the escape for you.

[ coming from a man who's own home world just teeters on the edge of war. he means to be condoling. ]

[hangingtree]

It is.

[ She imagines that's a big reason why people agree to come, aside from whatever the representatives promise them.

A moment or two later she sends another text. ]

I didn't realize escape was going to be so unbearably boring when I agreed to come here, though. If I had known, I might've given it more thought.

[ She absolutely would not have given it more thought, but she's trying again for a joke. It's still a foreign thing to her, even if it's in the form of a dry, sarcastic comment. ]

[administration]

[ he smiles, just a little, at the joke. he knows exactly where she's coming from. ]

should i say something like "be careful what you wish for" here?

what do you like to do?

[hangingtree]

You can if you want, but it might be wasted on me.

Hunt. Archery was really the only hobby I picked up. District 12 wasn't exactly big on free time.

What about you?

[administration]

is there much opportunity for hunting here in the city? [ if so, he's not really aware of it. ] i think there might be an archery range.

i was running a clan before i ended up here.
i like to work.

[hangingtree]

Not as much as I'd like, but I guess it's also not really necessary here. [ After all, part of the reason she picked it up was because District 12 had scarce amounts of food. ] I've been to the archery range a couple times.

A clan of vampires?

[administration]

sounds like you need a new hobby.
i'd recommend crosswords.

[ a suggestion that teeters on the edge of sarcasm, but doesn't quite cross over. if he's being honest with himself, they've helped him. ]

yes. i've been with them for most of my life.

[hangingtree]

Where would I get them?

[ Also, what are they? But if she can find them, Katniss thinks she'll be able to figure them out on her own. ]

How many were there? In the clan and as a whole in your world.

[administration]

you can get books of them at convenience stores.
sometimes you'll find them in the paper.

hundreds? some come and go, but most are part of a clan for life. we take in as many can fit in the hotel.
in the world, i don't know. countless.
