[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?

[onlyanapple]

Try not to die.

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.

[the_effect_she_has]

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

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

Fear doesn't control me. I control fear.

This Girl

[fearbringer]

Hmm, and you were doing so well.

You don't control it, you accept it and work through it. It's an easy enough mistake to make.

We've had this conversation before, I think.

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

Yes, and I'm not getting into it again. So let's stick with 'Thanks.' 'You're welcome. And thank you for stabbing the crazy crystal'. 'Thanks'. And done.

This Girl

[fearbringer]

I didn't actually succeed in breaking it. The red-haired woman was the one who did it, I think.

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

The one who accidentally sat on the crystal she was trying to save?

[themuse]

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

This Girl

[fearbringer]

Right. She was flailing around trying to keep me from stabbing it, and ended up cracking it.

Re: dictated;

[the_effect_she_has]

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

Re: This Girl

[the_effect_she_has]

Well, I suppose we both managed to save the day then, and she sort of ... fumbled her way to helping.

This Girl

[fearbringer]

I suppose.

[onlyanapple]

Sure, you get the wondrous prize of life.

Yay you.

Strange Man

[the_effect_she_has]

You know, I don't get to say this very often, but you really are something of a negative thinker.

That's compared to me.

[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.

[onlyanapple]

Who wants dresses when they can have air in their lungs, hmm?
