I still don't see the point of this Christmas Day.

I found a job. At a coal plant. Figures, huh? I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday. They give you the whole weekend off!

What's a union? And why are they taking my money?

I found a store today that sells painting supplies for pretty cheap, and I bought some things and went down to the river. I tried to paint something pretty, you know? Something that's not...that doesn't...

I ended up painting Mags. Right before she died. Before I killed her by being stupid.

It'll never go away, will it? Not ever.

[info]fromtheseam

Where can I find a decent bow, or wood to make one? I'd rather have one already made, they're tricky.

[Katniss]

Let's go hunting.

I don't know how to do this.

With people talking about things and telling us how wrong it is. Because we don't know, I guess.

Peeta's over there talking about celebrating things and what food to make and I'm just wondering who I'm going to have to kill first to keep him alive when the supplies stop coming.

And Gale's all wrong

[info]die_as_myself

So, Christmas. It's everywhere. We don't have...religion in Panem so much, but I like the idea of a holiday where people get together and eat special food and celebrate each other. That's pretty universal.

What do you do for Christmas? Should we do something here? Like, among the refugees? A party, maybe?

[Katniss]

How are you feeling?

I saw Gale's here. I figured you'd want some time with him, so I'm going to help Mr. Horst with the preparation and stuff tonight. I'll be at work from about 1am to about 2pm tomorrow. There's food in the fridge, should be enough for both of you.

Have a nice time.

[info]afterthendtimes

Speaking of the money, it occurs to me to wonder:

Where is it coming from?

There's enough of us that it's tens of thousands of dollars, and this isn't a large town. Is it given to them by whomever brought us here (in which case I want a raise in my 'allowance', thanks) or is it from the actual town?

[info]fromtheseam

Nobody gives you money and a place to live for nothing. No one.

So what is this place, how did we get here, and what the hell do they want from us in return?

[info]tasergoddess

Hey, peeps!

My name is Darcy Lewis and I arrived in this fair town last night. Wasn't expecting to be here, but I like to make the most of things!

Where do I go to meet all the hot guys and gals? What do I need to know to have fun around here?

Dec. 4th, 2013


[info]die_as_myself

So on the way home from work today, these guys - about my age, I guess, maybe a little older - started yelling things at me. Not nice things, either. Calling me all these rude names and, well, uh, casting aspersions on my masculinity because of where I was working.

I don't get it.

In this world, it seems that there are things that men are supposed to do and things that women are supposed to do, and it doesn't seem right. It's not that way so much at home, I don't think. I mean, just as many girls have won the games as guys have, and I can think of a lot of guys I'd rather face in a fight before I faced Clove or Johanna.

Why can't we all just do what we're good at? Yeah, I'm better at baking and painting and stuff like that than hunting or woods stuff. That's what Katniss does. And what's wrong with that, on either side?

[info]lulubelle

People here certainly aren't very polite, especially the men, and especially the police officers.

I would only be 'truant' if I were supposed to be somewhere. So clearly I was not.

[info]foragirlonfire

[Filtered; Peeta]
So many people go into the woods here, it's really strange.

I see their trails and little set ups all the time. Stupid. I guess no one is really worried about getting caught though, otherwise they wouldn't make it so easy to follow.

Scruffing sounds heard over the speaker of the smart phone. Random mutterings break on and off over the static.

I-I don't understand-

I said stay away from me!

What the hell is wrong with you people?

You encourage weakness in every possible way, you scorn strength, and you're constantly whining about stupid shit you can't control.

You don't train kids with civic duty worth a fuck,mand you fucking keep weapons away from them instead of training them to be lethal.

You're training a world of pussies, not a world of strength.

Can we change what happens? Even if it's just one decision.

You're gonna have to come and face this all sooner or later, sweetheart.

Make it sooner, for Peeta if nothing else.

[info]die_as_myself

I don't know who you people think you are, but you can't keep me here! You can't do this to me. The Capitol knows where I am and they'll rescue me and kill you all or turn you all into Avoxes! You're all monsters. Mutts!

Let me go!,

Let me go!!!!!

Nov. 29th, 2013


[info]die_as_myself

Katniss, we need to talk. It's really important.

[A bit later, filtered to Johanna, Haymitch, Finnick and Annie]

Could someone please find Katniss? She ran off and I can't keep up on this leg. She'd probably run from me anyway.

Haymitch, could I stay with you? I...I don't feel well. I think it's happening again.

Please help me.

I invited Haymitch over for dinner tonight.

Hope it's okay?

Death is something that happens to everyone. We can't stop it, although most of us want to put it off as long as possible. But it's not death, or how you get there that really matters in the end. It's how you live the life you were given, and how much you've loved. Because love...it's the strongest thing there is. It's stronger than the Capitol, or the torture, or the pain that's a natural part of living.

Love and hope go hand in hand and as long as you have them you're stronger than anything the world can possibly throw at you.

Because the world will go on. Life will get better. Because things can only stay dark for so long before something snaps and good takes over, and the sun comes out again. I've seen it. And I have faith in it, because I know how strong love is. I know how strong people can be. I've seen it.

[info]drunkstrategist

What the hell is this!?

We’re done playing games. It’s over.

They claim they don't know what I mean but if this really is a Capitol trick...you know what do what the fuck you want, but you leave those kids alone. It’s enough.

Nov. 27th, 2013

[info]clove

School.

It's not really so bad. Most of the other kids are scared of me so that's - well, Cato's right, most of them are weak and pathetic.

And I got a place on the girls' lacrosse team. If there was a girls' football team I'd be on that too but there's not. Apparently. Kind of annoying. Also apparently I need to tone down the aggression. I don't get it. I didn't even hit anyone.

But yeah. Not so bad.

What the hell? This isn't home. Not nearly enough trees.

I have at last had an opportunity to properly explore the markets and warehouses in this town. They are a delight! Perhaps I cannot locate everything I would have cared to purchase at home, but there are more than enough alternatives to satisfy and having solved the issues of currency, purchases were made!

Perhaps best of all, I found a little shop someway south of here selling all manner of wonderful fabrics. I shall soon have plenty of new dresses!

Thank you to everyone who helped me settle in here, I am most grateful. This place is still terribly confusing and everything is very new to me, but all of your kindness has helped it be quite so scary, I think.

I was terribly remiss in introducing myself earlier, and I'd like to fix that, if I may? My name is Briseis, daughter of Briseus, and I hail from the city of Lyrnessus, in the land that we called Troy. I have not been there in many terrible years, but it will always be my home.

This place...seems very lovely and it's nice to be in a place without war and death all around me.

[info]die_as_myself

[Katniss]

I'm sorry. For...for kicking you out last week. I didn't want to hurt you, that was why I did it, you know that right? It was the wrong thing to do, but I had the best intentions.

Nov. 22nd, 2013


[info]die_as_myself

So. Church. What is it? And all these lights up everywhere, in the shape of trees and stars and everything. What are they for? Is there a celebration coming up?

[Filtered to Katniss]

You doing okay?

Nov. 18th, 2013


[info]die_as_myself

Hey, everyone.

My name's Peeta Mellark, and I wasn't in the best shape when I got here didn't greet all of you as I should have.

When we introduce ourselves at the games

So, I guess what would be interesting to know, since we're all from different places - what's the thing that's most different between this place and your home?

For me, there's so much food, and everyone has so much money. My father owned the bakery in our town, but I could hardly ever afford cookies or cakes, because the cost of sugar was so high. But here, I see kids coming in the morning before school every day and buying two or three doughnuts. It's crazy.

So, what about everyone else?

No one sees or hears what we see. But we see it and we understand. We are friends and we hear the rocks cry. We should sit beneath the stars and listen to them and to each other. We're a strange sort of family, but we are what the Capitol made us. Family should visit.




[info]smoaksignals

So this is a charming kind of town and I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason why I’m here, or imagining myself here, because god knows I’ve been pretty much on the verge of a psychotic break for a while, but I kind of need to be somewhere else right now and I can’t be stuck in a place where people have Elvish names and there’s not even a basic firewall around the network here. Although I see some secure patches here and there - sorry if I encroached on your security, fellow hackers, I’m just trying to find a secure wifi signal.

That really wasn’t a very good introduction, was it? Let me try again. Hi. I’m Felicity. And I don’t really believe in god. I hope that’s not going to be a problem.

[info]die_as_myself

Is there -

I mean -

Uh...

What I mean to say is that the bakery is having a special on my cheesebuns today, so you should come by and get some.

Is there someone I can talk to?

[Filtered to Alicia Florrick]

Miss Florrick? My name's Peeta Mellark, and I've spoken with you before. I...I'm not well. And I'm worried that I may be putting Katniss in danger. Could you...she can't stay with me. Not like this. I can't - I can't risk hurting her. And I don't know. I'd never do it on purpose. But...I can't - I mean, I'm not well.

Help me, please, someone

[Filtered to Katniss]

I think it would be safer better if you...found another place to stay for a few days. I couldn't bear to hurt you It would make things a lot safer for you be for the best.

So, it's pretty obvious that a lot of us have wildly different opinions about what's appropriate to post on the network and what isn't. Obviously we can't please everyone, but maybe we could come to some sort of agreement on what should and shouldn't be posted on the network (at least without an Over 18 filter)?

These are my suggestions, but feel free to offer your own.

Please Filter the Following to People Over the Age of 18
1. Graphic talk of sex.
2. Requests for sex.
3. Complaints about lack of sex.

Anything else? This isn't telling anyone they can't talk about this stuff, just trying to make everyone a bit more comfortable.
