[Katniss has a few healing cuts and scraps from Zombie Adventures, but she's clean and apparently recently showered, judging by the wet braid slung over one shoulder. She sits in her chair with her legs pulled up to her chest, ready to leap from it if she needs to. Her bow and quiver are visible in the background]

I want to hunt. Is there anywhere I can do that, or does this turtle have some kind of moral objection to things other than us being killed on its back?

[There's a long pause, and she almost reaches out to end the post before she remembers something] Animals. I want to hunt animals. Nothing else. That's all.

It used to be North America, if that helps.

[She lifts a shoulder. It's ancient history, to her] War, weather shifts. A lot of it ended up under water. We're the only people left.

"we" being Panem, correct?

[She nods. There's a weird look on her face, a mix exhaustion and confusion and only the faintest hint of longing. She doesn't miss Panem, but she misses the security of District Twelve, of finally knowing the status quo again.]

'Panem' means something where I'm from. It means 'bread' in an old, dead language.

[Her expression twists a little] Of course it does.

"Of course it does." [ Echoing her words. Elaborate, dear, won't you? ]
