[There is the sound of objects being shoved into a satchel, and then Katniss speaking into the journal.]

All right, I'm going out hunting, going to see if my cabin is still out there. It's finally warm enough, and calm enough, for me to head out. Does anyone need any game, or herbs, while I am out there?

[Another pause.] ... and if someone wanted to go with me, I wouldn't say no.

[She is going to play this smart. With the world changing, she isn't sure what she'll find.]

When I get back, the shooting range will be open for business - note I don't have guns. Just ... rudimentary bows, arrows, and now ...crossbows. [Welcome to Medieval Times, folks.]

You were one of the people who was at the pond that day, weren't you?

[He's going to assume she knows which day he's referring to.]

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

Yes ... yes I was.

I think we've spoken before. Were you there?

This Girl

[fearbringer]

Yes we have, and yes I was. The details are a little fuzzy, but I think it was your arrow I used to try to stab the crystal.

That Guy

[the_effect_she_has]

I'm glad you finally understood ... I don't know what would have happened.

This Girl

[fearbringer]

Neither do I. That was quick thinking on your part-- were you completely unaffected?

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

No, I was scared out of my mind, without any real cause or reason.

This Girl

[fearbringer]

Then your ability to keep a cool head was even more impressive.

[onlyanapple]

Try not to die.

[the_effect_she_has]

If I don't, do I get a prize?

[onlyanapple]

Sure, you get the wondrous prize of life.

Yay you.

[the_effect_she_has]

Well, I've gotten so much use of it so far...

[onlyanapple]

It truly is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't it?

[the_effect_she_has]

Much better than dresses.

[themuse]

I've been meaning to check things out around here, actually. Still have an opening?

Re: dictated;

[the_effect_she_has]

I think I can find a free spot for you. What do you shoot?

dictated; sorry about the delay!

[themuse]

Uh... A Glock?

Re: dictated; sorry about the delay!

[the_effect_she_has]

Not a bad weapon ... feel free to come and practice, then. I haven't done much gun work in awhile -- it doesn't really work for me.

dictated;

[themuse]

That's fine, I don't know anything about archery. I can teach you a few pointers if you want, though.

Re: dictated;

[the_effect_she_has]

That ... I would like that, thank you. [Anything to stay at the top of her game, after all.]

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

You know I'll be there. [Gotta keep practicing after all.]

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Good. Do you want to start moving to something a little more advanced? [Because Dairine has progressed pretty damned far.]

Re: Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

You bet. I'm always up for a challenge.

[Not strictly true: if something is so challenging she doesn't think she'll win, she doesn't usually bother. But when it comes to learning, pushing herself has proven a winning strategy.]

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Good. Then we're going to work on moving targets over the next few months. Stationary is easy. It's time to up your game.

[It's easy to hit an enemy who is not moving.]

Re: Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is tempted to point out that she already has worked with moving targets, thanks to the castle. However, she knows that her perception in moving targets could use some work; most of her hits were a mix of beginners luck and enough logic to aim for larger parts.

Plus, if she has a headstart, that just means they get to move along faster.]

Alright. We can do that. Good luck finding your cabin.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Thanks, Dari. I'll see you when I get back, all right? [A pause, because she always has to do this ...] Stay safe.
