[Friends (If you've even had ONE friendly conversation with the girl this applies to you.)]

Um... I'm sorry I haven't really been around lately. I don't know if any of you know Peeta or heard him tell people what's happening but I didn't want you to worry.

[She takes a breath] In my world there's something called The Hunger Games. Every year two kids, a boy and a girl, are picked from each District to go to an arena and fight. [She pauses] There's only one winner... another girl from the Games I was in got here, Clove. She's what we call a Career. They train for years for the Games and volunteer to go.

I don't want her to know I'm here... at least, not yet. I've been staying with friends. I miss all of you, though. How have you been?

[Though she's not about to announce her presence she still misses talking to people. She hesitates a moment before picking up a pencil and writing a question]

What's your favorite flower?

((ooc: Open over the journal. She will be writing forever unless stated otherwise. BLAME CLOVE! /shakey fist. :P.))

I'm a wee bit more concerned about how you are.

[Yep, concerned doctor ahoy.]

You still feeling okay? Everything fine? Nothing gone wrong?

[fly_little_bird]

I'm okay... I'm just not happy that I'm still stuck inside, now.

[Fortunately Peeta already explained the Hunger games to him, so he can be less shocked sounding to her. Though still thinks it's terrible B( ]

It's all right, Rue. I'm simply glad to hear you're all right.

Friends

[fly_little_bird]

Thanks, Allen. Don't worry, I'm good at hiding.

Sakura.

They're only around for a very brief time, but they're very beautiful.

[And they remind him of someone...]

[fly_little_bird]

Sakura? What do they look like?

[... a little surprised she can see this, but!]

I heard from Peeta about everything ... if you want to get out and stretch a little, though, you should just say so. It'll be no problem for me to keep you safe~!


[a pause, looking at the written bit ...]

And my favorite is the white cosmos.

Friends

[fly_little_bird]

[She pauses, thinking] I do want to go out... Haymitch said I just should be careful and not go anywhere alone. [another pause] I just don't want anyone to go out of their way for me.

White cosmos? It sounds pretty, what does it look like?

[there's quite a long pause before she responds.

Quietly:] I cannot imagine such a world.

[fly_little_bird]

I never knew anything different until I came here. It's just how things were. Once a year we all had to watch the Games... and this year I got picked.

I like lillies :)

[fly_little_bird]

I've seen those! They're pretty. What colors do you like?

Rue

[triela]

Peeta told me a little about this already. If there's anything you need, let me know.

Triela

[fly_little_bird]

Thanks, Triela. {a pause] I wouldn't mind some company...

.... The lillies that grow within the Releweisse Hollow.

[fly_little_bird]

Releweisse Hollow? Is that where you're from?

[bonniewitch]

Hey Rue. I miss you as well. [She's really trying not to sound concerned.]

If you need me, just tell me, okay?

[fly_little_bird]

Thanks, Bonnie. I'm okay... but I wouldn't mind some company if you're free, sometime.

I like Forget-Me-Nots.

I like them, too. Which color is your favorite?

Delphinium is a really pretty flower.

Delphinium? I haven't heard of that one. What does it look like?

[inafadingcrown]

I see. [Somehow, Galadriel's "I see" is a still a more brutal condemnation of the Games than most in Rue's world would have dared, at least openly. One can almost imagine her lips pursed in disgust. Now she knows how the girl was injured, she supposes.]

She will hear nothing from me, I assure you. [A pause and her voice takes on a lighter tone.] I am quite fond elanor; it grows quite abundantly in Lórien.

[fly_little_bird]

Thank you, Galadriel. It'll be better when she believes we don't have to hurt each other anymore. But until then... [Her voice trails off. Right. Changing the subject...]

Elanor? What does it look like?

Friend Filter, to end

[spiritusaequitas]

[everything's been such a whirlwind of crazy, messed-up shite that he hasn't had a chance to check in on the little girl with the spear in her side. he'd heard from Carson that she got discharged into her friend's care, but that'd been the last he knew. so Murphy's relieved to hear her sounding well.

but then she describes home, and he feels his chest tighten] ... What kind've bastards'd even do that to kids like you?

[fly_little_bird]

[She smiles when she hears Murphy's voice. She had been wondering about him, had wanted to thank him for what he did for her... but as he asks his question her voice softens and she frowns]

The Capitol. There was a war 75 years ago. 13 Districts against the Capitol. The Capitol won... and destroyed one of the Districts completely. Since then they hold The Hunger Games every year to remind us what happened and show their 'forgiveness'... or so they keep telling us. We all have to watch it, it's mandatory. The winners get a big house and money and their District gets lots of food for the year. [She pauses] The Capitol sees it as the biggest event of the year. They throw parties, dress us up to show us off and bet on who they think is gonna win.

[heloise]

Narcissus.

[fly_little_bird]

I haven't heard of that one. What does it look like?

Action?

[wizard_redfive]

[Across the room, Dairine is lounging in a beanbag chair she had wished up, reading one of her comic books. With Rue’s journal open, Dair’s making sure to stay extra quiet. She doesn’t want to give Rue’s current location away, filters or not.]

Action!

[fly_little_bird]

[Eventually, Rue closes the journal, looking up at Dairine with a smile]

Thanks for letting me stay here.

Friends

[heal_theworld]

[Martel is quiet for a few moments, just letting that sink in. No wonder she was so injured and didn't want to fight at all.]

I've been fine, Rue. But please stay safe. And if Clove comes looking for you, please tell me...? [She'd do anything in her power to protect Rue, and that's quite a lot.]

Friends

[fly_little_bird]

I will, Martel. Thank you. She... doesn't know I'm here. She wouldn't believe I was, anyway. As far as she knows, I'm... [She lets her voice trail off. not able to bring herself to actually say the word]

Favorite flower? I never really thought about it, but roses are so iconic and beautiful, I guess them. Do you mind me asking why you're asking?

Written forever

[fly_little_bird]

[Roses... oh man. They only have one association for her and it isn't a good one. There's a pause before she responds]

There aren't many roses where I'm from. I like wildflowers better.

I was just curious. I can't go out to the gardens myself, right now so I thought I'd see what everyone else thought.

That's a tough one!
I like all kinds of flowers, I don't know if I can pick just one. (◕‿◕✿)

Me, neither. They're all so pretty in their own ways.

I like yellow ones. What about you?

[fly_little_bird]

I like all the colors. Yellow flowers are pretty, though. Especially when they're in the sunlight!

Friends!

[childofkrypton]

Why do they do that? That's horrible!

There was a war. 13 Districts against the Capitol. The Capitol won, destroying one of the Districts. Every year since then they have these Games to remind us what happened... I was in the 74th.
