056 - PREMONITION

[kungfuwitch]

[Right on the heels of that mysterious broadcast Phoebe hastily dictates into her journal]

Did anyone else hear that? I've never heard his voice before, does anyone know who he is?

[Her hand is reaching for her radio as she speaks]

It's so weird, I didn't think anyone else co-

[Her words cut off in a sharp gasp as her fingers take hold of the device and the premonition slams into her mind. Her grip tightens as her eyes snap shut, images floating behind her eyelids. The whole thing takes less than a minute but it leaves her breathless as she comes back to herself. She takes a shakey breath, looking down at the radio for a moment as she processes what she just saw. Setting it down she takes up her pen and writes in a filter in a shakey hand]

[Filtered AWAY from anyone who would use this for harm or share it with anyone who would do so. Filtered AWAY from first gens EXCEPT Damsel, Reno, Flora and the man who just spoke through the radio.]

[Her voice is a little unsteady as she speaks]

I just had a premonition... a group of people. Twenty, maybe thirty of them. I've never seen them before but some of them looked like they were hurt. They're all looking up at the sky like they're afraid of something up there. [She pauses to take a breath] They're in one of those western towns in the Dead Zone. I think the man who just spoke to us is telling the truth. A group of us should go out there and see if we can help these people.

To the Dead Zone, or to Winchester?

[kungfuwitch]

Either?

[the_effect_she_has]

Dead Zone, multiple times. I don't have any special powers so I can go there freely.

Winchester ... never.

[kungfuwitch]

Same here, with the exception that I do have powers. The Dead Zone is a fascinating place, isn't it? So beautiful, yet some parts of it are so deadly.

[the_effect_she_has]

I find the new wildlife and plants interesting ... and honestly, sometimes I just need to get outside and wander.

[kungfuwitch]

I can understand that. Fresh air and a change of scenery are good once in a while.

[the_effect_she_has]

So you don't feel trapped, inside your own skin.

[kungfuwitch]

[Well that's an interesting way to put it]

Are you okay?

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss ... blinked. Not often that people just asked that.]

I'm ... fine. I just ... I don't like being trapped. Anywhere.

[kungfuwitch]

[She's not just anyone]

Neither do I. It's not a good feeling...

[the_effect_she_has]

[She breathed out slowly, flexing her fingers.] I had a very fancy home, once. But it was a trap. It was home, it was where my loved ones were but ... it was a trap. And we all knew it.
