[Sixteen - Right Through The Eye] [Dictated]

[the_effect_she_has]

Filtered from the First Gens, their allies, and any who would do them harm.

[Katniss is sitting on the floor of her cabin, looking a large, and badly drawn, map of the area. She is frowning as she marks all the spots she knows near the Castle and in the town itself, and what few areas she knows in the Dead Zone. After she's done with this careful marking, she turns to the journal.]

Does it disturb anyone else that we don't have any real clue what is outside of our borders? I mean - at least I don't know. It's all some sort of ... land-blob, where our enemies live and wait to destroy us. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not comfortable with that. I want to know where they are - because they know where we are.

[She looked at the map, and scowled.] Mostly, I'd just love an accurate map of this place. So we could know where we can start protecting our borders.

Added on a little later...

So, does anyone want to go on a cartography trip with me?

Okay.

You start east and I'll go west.

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[And her eyes narrow.] If you're bullshitting me with sarcasm for putting forward an honest concern ...

Dictated

[onehundred]

Concern comes up to nothing, honest or not.

So. Are you gonna do it or not?

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[There is a pause of hostile consideration.]

You take East. I take West.

Dictated

[onehundred]

Hey. I got first dibs.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

I'm the one who thought we needed a map.

Dictated

[onehundred]

Then I told you to make your own.

What's the deal with going east?

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

I've never been East. I've only been West.

[There would be more interesting things to see, in that direction.]

Dictated

[onehundred]

[ Okay, he can buy that excuse. ]

So you go east. Do you know how to draw maps?

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

I can't draw. So I'll have to find someone to come along with me who can.

[whichwayyoulean]

Do you meaaan [he'll scribble a page number down] this map?

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss flipped to the page, before her eyebrows raised together.]

Huh ... so where are our enemies on this map? And do we have any larger copies? Like, I could put it on my wall?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'll mark a point at Terre Haute] They had a base camp here, but those bug guys destroyed it, so I guess they've scattered now. There's nothing left in that place but debris. [And dead people in their graves, but not mentioning that part, nope]

I don't know, I didn't grab the thing. My guess would be to ask York. York's our Map Guy.

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss sat up further and let out a string of curses that would have made even Haymitch's eyes pop open in surprise.]

You mean - they were right outside that damned bug ship?! [And she hadn't even noticed. She'd gone straight into the ship.] Did anyone take note of where they went? Do we have any spies there?

Wait. What? Where'd that map come from?

rude Percy gosh

[whichwayyoulean]

Huh? It was on some bird or something, when they all went back to the totem coast to put up new warning signs.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Young lady that's not nice :|]

Yeah, that angry lady with the black hair came out and swore at us all. [Oh if shrugs could be heard over the journal] If we do, I haven't been made privy to it. I'm just the guy who works the wagons.

Re: /threadjack

[the_effect_she_has]

You didn't know about the map either? [OH THANK YOU she wasn't alone]

[the_effect_she_has]

[And have another string of curses, Once-ler.[

...We need to find out where they went. I need to talk to York. [Pause] ..Wait, how do you know all this if you just watch the wagons?

the rudest

[waterproofed]

You mean on one of those bird statues? I don't remember seeing any map when we were there before...

[waterproofed]

Katniss, did... did you see what's on this map? [omg what is going on this can't be right]

[whichwayyoulean]

No as in an actual bird, a messenger bird. I didn't go the second time because...well, yeah no thanks, I'll stay away from the creepy disease cave thank you very much. You'd have to ask one of the people who went there for more details.

[whichwayyoulean]

Because I pay attention too. I still have working ears and eyes. I just don't get involved in the whole...planning thing. I'm more of a getting dragged along sort of guy.

[wolf_of_war]

[Have a deadpan, robotic-sounding voice in the journal.]

Were I able to travel in the Dead Zone, I would be able to plot an accurate digital map of the area, which I could reproduce on the Castle's computer network, or on paper. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is a way to provide the electrical energy I require to continue functioning.

[waterproofed]

Once was enough for me, too. [but this map... gods this map is really eerie]
