1st Design [voice]

[There’s a wry male voice, albeit a slightly confused one, speaking over the Network.]

Well, this certainly isn’t the Capitol, the fashion on the streets isn’t any I recognize and I could have sworn I was in a studio audience taking my bows just a moment ago.

...pity you couldn’t see the reason, it was absolutely perfect. She was perfect.

All of that aside, if someone could just tell me what District I’m in, that would be appreciated. I really should get back, I have more work to do.


[ooc: Sorry, guys, I was supposed to be off work three hours ago!]

Taking your bows, right?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Quite right.

Classic City timing, of course. Interrupting things. I've left and come back once, right in the middle of a family thing. Bloody irritating, I'll tell you that.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I can imagine it would be. No one likes their lives interrupted, especially if it's at the whims of another.

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Exactly so. You've heard of the deities, then?

[He was referring to the government back home and the Games, but the Deities work, too.]

A young woman named Claire sent me a guide of sorts.

[Ginny could have chosen to see his comment in the same terms. The government and the war. But such heavy topics can be put aside.]

Claire Bennet? She's my friend and roommate. She's been here long enough to have a better understanding than most, I reckon. Not that that's anything to be pleased about, in my opinion; we'd all like to go home at some point.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Yes, home. And how does one go about getting there?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Honestly? No idea. The one time I did go home, I was just opening my bedroom door and saw my school instead of the hallway. It's more luck than anything else, I think.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Not sure I believe in luck.

Tell me, how long have you been here?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

About a year and a half. It'll be two in December. I keep saying I don't like to keep count, but I suppose I can't help it.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

And what month is it now?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

August. I can't believe how fast the year's going by, myself.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...well. This is certainly a novel place, isn't it?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

That's one way to put it. D'you have anyone from home here? It's a bit harder to accept this place alone.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Two actually. Acquaintances of mine from home.

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

And where's that?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Panem, I'm from the Capitol.

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

No England where you come from, eh?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Not as such.

[ooc: Guessing - while the Districts are parts of the US, IDK if there's been mention of other countries/overseas.]

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Not unusual. I think I might've heard someone mention Panem on the network once, actually. One of those acquaintances of yours, I'd guess.

[ooc; sob that's alright. i was wondering the same. >>; ]

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Katniss Everdeen or Peeta Mellark?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Peeta, that's the name. We've only spoken a few times.

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

He's a very pleasant young man. Good with people, I'm not surprised.

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Friendly enough. A surprising amount of people are, here. I've made excellent friends since I've arrived; honestly, apart from the curses, it isn't that bad.
