[It's pretty early in the morning when Finnick shows up on the feed, looking a little bit like crap. Like he hasn't slept all night. Which, well. He really hasn't. Nightmares and everything. He scrubs a hand over his face before smiling for the feed.]

I'm starting to wonder what else could go wrong in this place. First, they're making copies of us [not that he can really blame them for wanting more of him around, come on now] and now things are going sour on the turtle. [A wry smile twists his lips now.] And they say to not panic while pushing us to our limits already. [He runs a hand through his hair.] They could probably give the Capitol a run for their money at this point.

[He goes to shut off the feed, muttering:] I'd kill for seaweed bread right now, though. [:'|]

Each of the districts are set up to provide for the Capitol - and for the rest of Panem. If you keep people doing only one thing, they can't provide for themselves alone. [A shrug.] It was about control.

Wow, really? Whoever's running the place in your world kind of sounds like a controlling jerk-face.

[He flashes a tight grin.] He had all of the power, and he made it known.

[Blink.] By... making you make seaweed bread?

By forcing children to kill each other for his entertainment and continued proof that he held all the power to make us make seaweed bread.

[He looks at first surprised, then a bit furious]

What? Seriously?!

[A nod.] I won once.

[Wow this is awkward, huh? He purses his lips, then averts his eyes, fidgeting all the while.]

Uh... That's pretty rough. Sorry to hear that, man.

[Derp awkward but he doesn't really know what else to say!]

[He just shrugs. Everyone keeps doing that, apologizing. But it really doesn't change what's happened to him.] It was okay, really. The real horrors begin after you win, for some of the victors.

...You're a really happy bunch, aren't you? [Horray terrible attempts to lighten the mood??]

[insecrets]

I'm the cheeriest one, really. [It's a hard life, being the happy one among two grumpy women.]

Considering I've just spoken too Miss Downward Spiral Conversationalist Extraordinaire, I think I'm going to have to agree with you there.

She's not even really bad. Wait until you get the chance to meet Johanna. She's more likely to rip your throat out with her teeth.

[a girl likely to rip my throat out with her teeth, you say?]

Is she hot?

[insecrets]

You remember the last time you asked me this? [:'3]

[fotia]

So are you saying I should just avoid talking to any girl from your world?

[insecrets]

It's probably the safest way to remain intact and alive.
