Welcome to the 11th Annual Hunger Games

I hate you. I hate you with every fiber of my being. You will not play with us anymore. We are not your puppets. We will fight, and we will win. 


[Peeta is well aware that people have tried to escape before. But he hasn't. And he's ashamed by that. And he figures a group solely dedicated to escape might be a good idea.]

Okay, this is it. No more pretending like this is a home, this is a prison, a slow death sentence. I am not playing by the rules anymore. I want to start a group, whose main objective is to escape this place.

I need any and all information on the Dead Zone and past expeditions. Also, any time you’ve felt the castle communicate with you. I want a list of any important items found that have to do with the castle. I want to know everything about the first gens. I want to know everything about dying, who has died, when, what happened, your experiences with it, and any strange occurrences with that.

Let me know if you want a part in this group. If people are interested, I’ll set up meeting times.

Back home, the people that run the Hunger Games, pull the strings, are called Gamemakers. I propose we call ourselves the Gamebreakers.

Do not give up. We will break its game.

[ooc: Open over the journals. You have not met serious!Peeta. This is serious shit.]

Peeta...

...I'm in. What can I do to help?

forever

[peeta_bread]

I don't know. We need to gather information before we do much.

[paradisamods]

[Not long after Peeta has written his words, he might begin to feel the strangest sense, almost as if someone is watching him. Then, without warning, an overwhelming sense of confusion.

The castle wants to know what he means by that.]

Cair Paradisa

[peeta_bread]

[After the strange feelings, it hits him that this may be the castle, and not just him. He scribbles a filter in his journal. It didn't hurt to try to talking, right?]

Was that you? If you can hear me, please, let us go. What you're doing is evil and wrong.

[psych0p0mps]

most of it is in lois lanes report
but do you seriously think the rest of us arent trying to escape?
the vast majority have been looking for a way to get out of here since we first arrived
weve just come to realize its not going to happen overnight

[peeta_bread]

Lois Lane. Got it, thanks.

[Then his voice is just slightly angry.] A group whose purpose is to escape may be what we need. Obviously what we've tried in the past has failed. This is how I'm fighting. If you don't want to join, don't. But don't tear down my idea.

Peeta

[prettyknives]

Why the sudden change? [not that she's complaining. She's just curious]

Clove

[peeta_bread]

Someone I love was taken from me.

[walkinthruwalls]

Are you okay?

And I'll help if I can. I've been on some of the expeditions.

[peeta_bread]

No.

Thanks, that would be great. Kitty, right?

Peeta

[amiable]

[ The tone of this entire post unnerves her just a bit. ]

We haven't given up!

Uru

[peeta_bread]

Good. Because I was about to for a second.

[ino]

[ ... while it's a noble effort, the girl who's been here forever doesn't like the assumption that nobody's ever tried to leave, or figure out a way to. that on top of the worry for the people who'd been kidnapped makes for a Very Unhappy Ino.

... so, unfortunately, she sounds a bit irritable when she speaks up :(]

You act like nobody's actually tried to get out of here before.

[peeta_bread]

[Irritable right back. As he continues speaking, he almost reaches the point to where he's hysterical.] That's not what I mean. I hate how you guys keep assuming that. I was talking about me. I wasn't trying to escape, okay? And I hate this place, I hate it. And this is all I could think of. It's the best I could do and if you don't like the idea, then you don't have to participate. I'm not assuming nobody's tried to leave, I know you have.

[compromisedarrow]

This is about Bucky, isn't it?

Clint

[peeta_bread]

I hate this place for taking him. He was like my brother.

[i_got_this]

Geez, you sound pissed. What happened? [He sounded too lucid to have gone crazy again.]

Agent South Dakota

[peeta_bread]

The castle sent one of my best friends home. I'm done. I don't care if I'm crazy or dead back home. I'm going to break this game and then break Panem's.

[cricketycricket]

We've not met, but ... that doesn't stop this from being an excellent idea. I'll help you find whatever I can.

[peeta_bread]

...Doctor? We have met. When I was painting in the lobby, remember?

But thank you. That means a lot.

[huntersdaughter]

And those of us that have no where to go? The ones that want to be here? That don't have lives to go back to if you make everyone go home?

What do you think happens to them?

[peeta_bread]

I don't have a life to go back to either. I'm not saying to burn down Paradisa or anything, just try to find a hole in the fabric, a back door.

Peeta

[wastheexample]

Glad to see you're putting on your big boy pants and doing something about it at last.

Haymitch

[peeta_bread]

Something needed to be done. Although, I guess I didn't word it perfectly enough for everyone. [He is bitter and angry. This is his last hope, and people are tearing it apart.]

Peeta

[accidentalrebellion]

[This is why they should have taken Peeta out of the arena instead of her.

This is why Peeta should have been the face of the rebellion.

Because for the first time in three months, three long months, she feels something stirring at those words. Something outside of aimless anger and frustration at the strings she can't see, at being forced to continuously be an unwitting pawn at the whim of some sick, unknown monster, at being trapped in an arena with no known edge. Something like... hope.

He helps her to see it now, just as he did that night on the roof so long ago (even if it had taken some time to truly understand what he meant). This place, the ones behind it, won't own them. They will be more than just pieces in their games.

(He's a much better mouthpiece than she could ever hope to be.)]

I'm in.

Katniss

[peeta_bread]

[If he could read those words, he would be so happy. This is what he wanted. Not some petty squabble over the wording of the entry, or people telling him to give up, or saying they don't trust him. Hope. He was the boy with the bread, and he was throwing that loaf out desperately, hoping at least one person would catch it.

And to give that hope to Katniss... He gives a little sigh of relief.]

Good. I'm glad. It's going to be rough. People are going to tell us to give up, that it's useless.

[cheerupemoborg]

[Interesting...]

How far?

Hank Henshaw

[prettyknives]

This guy's from my world.

This Person

[ruin_mania]

...I really would have recommended filtering that to people who wouldn't use the information to harm or hinder your efforts, but in any case, my name is Raine Sage and I've been making a study of the castle and the Dead Zone for several years. I'll gladly help.

Raine Sage

[peeta_bread]

There isn't much information here to take, but yeah, I guess that would have been smart. I did the best I could.

And thank you. I don't know anything about that stuff, so I'm just kinda diving head-first into this.

I'm Peeta Mellark, by the way.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine's not available at the moment, seeing as she's busy moping and avoiding human contact until further notice.

But she's worried about you, Peeta. :<]

[peeta_bread]

[If she doesn't contact him soon, Peeta's going to come looking for you, Dairine. >:| He loves you. Don't disappear, too. :'(]

[not_like_the_rest]

Wow. Didn't know you had such a big set, Peeta.

[peeta_bread]

...Thanks, I think.

[valuedstrength]

... We can't break it completely. It helps people live who shouldn't be here. [Like Bucky.]

But, I think you're onto something. I'll help you sort through the information if you'll have me.

Steve

[peeta_bread]

[For the first time, Peeta's tone switches to lightly teasing.] I was trying to be motivational, Steve. That sounds a whole lot better than 'Let's break it a little.'

[But then he gets serious.] Of course. Thank you. Everyone keeps giving me grief on this but... it's all I could do... [The only way he could hold on, target his grief into something good.]

filtered from the first gens, their allies, etc, etc, etc

[inafadingcrown]

Much of what you ask has been documented already. [Give her a second and she'll write in a page number] You may find this of interest.

It is my belief that our best chance of escape lies in understanding the nature of this world and finding a means to exploit it. It is not an easy undertaking nor is it one which will be swiftly resolved.

Provided you have the patience for such a task, I am more than willing to aid you where I may.

yes that

[peeta_bread]

[Peeta flips to the page and sighs in relief. Information. Something to do.] Thank you. I'll read this right away.

I know this is going to be slow, but we've got to try, right? Um... this is Galadriel, isn't it?

[Because he only met you once but your voice is kind of mystical and pretty so it must be.]
