sixth snare

[so, she's in. Katniss is "in" with Peeta's gung-ho, ridiculously lionhearted plot to get everyone out of Paradisa and back home, and she doesn't even know what's waiting for her. all he can think for a moment is how angry that makes him, how little she thinks of anyone but herself, and he wants to track her down and shake her, yell, maybe even tell her what's going to be there if they succeed. but then he remembers his conversation with Belle in the hallway, and ... no, that's not the best course of action at all. in fact, he wonders if trying to find their way home at all even is, especially after what just happened to everyone who disappeared. if things like that - so like the Games in their own way - can happen without provocation, he doesn't even want to think about what could happen WITH it. he starts to write a filter...]

[then scribbles it out beyond recognition.]

Tch. This is dumb.

What's everyone up to, today? I could use a new hobby or two.

I love how you gamers think you know everything about everyone once you get through it. "Oh, I didn't get killed, so that automatically makes me all sage and wise and lets me tell other people what to do with their lives".

No thanks. I don't need a mentor.

[She's just going to laugh at you.]

Tell you what to do? Know everything? No, you clearly have no idea who I am. [more laughing.] Is Haymitch trying to adopt you?

[fanstheflame]

If he tried, I'd tell him where to go before he was even done offering.

Off a cliff? Into a shredder? Into the jaws of a mutt? Don't leave the story hanging, Gale. (Aaaand she's back to teasing him.)

More like... out in the forest. Where there's no alcohol. And nobody to boss around.

I think he would die very quickly if that happened.

[fanstheflame]

Hey, he survived something like that once, he could probably do it again if he really wanted to.

[which is his way of saying he doesn't necessarily want Haymitch DEAD, just ... less of a drunkard so that he can actually be useful like he pretends he is]

[not_like_the_rest]

Really? When was that? [THIS IS NEWS TO HER.]
