Five Knives

[of the "bad guys" she's met so far, these two are the ones who have impressed her the most]

This castle seems to like my world. Someone else from Panem just showed up: a victor named Johanna Mason. I don't know how much you've heard about Panem, but a victor is someone who's won the Hunger Games. She's unpredictable so I would definitely keep an eye on her.

I'm not sure if the castle would ever bring him, but Cato is my district partner. He would be a good ally. Our mentor is a man named Brutus. Enobaria is another victor from my district. Either of them would be helpful for us if they arrive.

Fame, money, the glory of being a champion, and extra food for their district.

[Food is a keyword there.]

Are supplies usually low?

[prettyknives]

In most districts, yes. That's why it's called the Hunger Games.

Figures.

If food is such a problem, why not simply practice some form of population control?

[prettyknives]

The Games are also to keep the districts from rebelling. It's not just about food.

[cheerupemoborg]

That's an odd way of doing it.

Works for us.
