[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.))

[Give her a minute to figure out what the heck he just said.... after a moment she writes]

How did anyone find them?

[radiantwingedone]

While humans do not live in the area, the spring is often visited by another race. I... was friends with one, and introduced to the area.

[fly_little_bird]

Another race?

[No, really, she's confused. Aren't there just... you know... people?]

[radiantwingedone]

... correct. Not so for your world?

[fly_little_bird]

What do you mean by race?

[she thinks she read about it somewhere, but she wants to make sure they're talking about the same thing, here...]

[radiantwingedone]

Those who are not human. Kritya with long ears and colorful antennae, for example.

[fly_little_bird]

No, we don't have anything like that in my world. Only humans.

[radiantwingedone]

Ah. Seems.. fairly common, here, to be of a land without other races.

[fly_little_bird]

It's interesting, though. I've met a half-elf, here. She has pretty ears.

[radiantwingedone]

... named Martel?

[fly_little_bird]

[... she's really bad at this not giving away clues as to who she is thing...]

Yes, that's her.

[radiantwingedone]

Met her as well; although unaware of the second.

[fly_little_bird]

She took care of me in the clinic. She's very nice.
