[He'd been trying since he got here, and he'd continue trying. She couldn't have just VANISHED, and maybe she was trapped somewhere. Or...lost or...late. He shouldn't care as much as he did, he knew that, but he did. She'd become important, however much he'd like to deny it]

Me again. Look, I know we broke it off, but the Games have changed. Or...we're not in the Games any more, or whatever's happened. Just let me know if you get here, okay? There's all this talk about the future and it's just weird. I'm starting to wonder if everyone around here is crazy, so having a sane person to regroup with would be great.

Just let me know, yeah?[/Maysilee]

[That done, Haymitch has escaped to the roof, staring out at the wide expanse of Paradisa before him. Beside him is a map he'd found in the room with his name on. The filthy room that stank of booze (he didn't understand what the deal was with THAT, either). There had been something marked on the map. A way out, maybe. An edge. He looks at his journal again, unsure, before dictating into it]

So. Do you people just chose to stay here when you can walk out into the big wide world? I don't get why you say you're trapped when there seems to be so many possible escape routes from this place.

[i_got_this]

I like to stay where my armor functions, thank you.

forever!

[wastheexample]

Can't you just take it off?

amen!

[i_got_this]

Well, yeah, but where's the fun in that?

dictated FOREVER

[not_like_the_rest]

How's your nose doing?

[wastheexample]

Yeah. Thanks a lot.

[not_like_the_rest]

[Chipper voice]

You're welcome, sunshine~

[fatherandsun]

I suppose some of us have less of a reason to want to escape from a peaceful place such a this.

forever!

[wastheexample]

Peaceful? It feels like a lie.

naaah, Konzen makes a habit of meeting people on and off

[fatherandsun]

I suppose, considering my friends and I were under the very real threat of losing our lives and painfully at that, I prefer a temporary lie to the reality that I may be returning only to die and to let those friends down.

What say you to that?

[cheerupemoborg]

Were it so easy...

[wastheexample]

Everyone's talking as if it's hard, has anyone even tried?

[cheerupemoborg]

Don't know. However, not all of us can just up and go.

[fishy_go_byebye]

We could go anyway. Where... Way.

[She switches back and forth, trying to decide which word works better, flitting them between her teeth and biting off syllables as she wavers back and forth.]

[wastheexample]

...Pardon?

[fishy_go_byebye]

You have feet.

[She finally decides is the real answer to that.]

dictated forever

[forgedinbattle]

Sure. You can walk out into the big wide world. Then what? You're still not any closer to home.

[wastheexample]

At least I could be looking for a way out, rather than being stuck here.

[fanstheflame]

[guess who doesn't know who you are, bro? yep]

Not all of us do.

[wastheexample]

[Clearly, much fun is abounds]

You've been looking for a way out?

placeholder B)

[accidentalrebellion]

[The edge. Of course he's fascinated with the edge. The way out. It's the same question that's been driving her, after all. Her priorities might have shifted somewhat ever since Prim arrived here, suddenly and unexpectedly, but it's still the ultimate goal. Beat Paradisa. And then.... beat Snow.

So maybe this gets to her, in some highly specific way.]

It isn't as easy as it looks.

aww yeah

[wastheexample]

[The edge is what he knows, after all. He'd found the edge of the Arena, and if THAT has an edge, everything does]

No? I'm guessing maybe not. This map was in my room, looked like it had been abandoned. [Abandoned because he had more important things to take care of, not that Haymitch knows this right now]

[withmymind]

Not so friendly there.

[wastheexample]

It's not so friendly in most places.

[walkinthruwalls]

I wouldn't go out there.

[wastheexample]

Why not?
