I know I'm supposed to use this thing to talk to people, but it's been very unsettling here. Haymitch says that it's safe, but I have a hard time believing that. Nothing feels safe after the Arena. Still, I would rather be here than to go back there, even if I do miss my family terribly. In that sense, at least, this is no different than the Capitol or the Arena.

I guess it would help if I made some effort at a normal life. Like a job. I'm not sure what I would be good at. But I'm willing to work hard. Is there anyone who needs some help?

( There's a shocked gasp, then the sound of someone moving around. When Maysilee speaks, her voice is soft and her tone is filled with confusion and wariness. )

What happened? I was just in the Arena and... ( a pause ) Is this a new twist in the Game? I don't remember ever seeing something like this in any of the previous years...but this is a Quarter Quell, so...maybe...did they decide to change the Arena?

( There are heavier footsteps as the knights move toward her, and she makes a soft panicked noise and there's the sound of running footsteps as she tries to get away from the knights. )

Stay away from me! This is...I don't know what to do. They didn't prepare us for this... ( quietly, speaking to herself ) It's okay. It'll be okay. You can figure this out...

( the doors open and she stumbles out, and there's the sound of the PDA clattering on the ground when the knights toss it out. )

What's this?

( another gasp when she realizes she's in a city, then nervously with a definite wariness )

What...how is this possible? I don't know what's happening. There have never been people in the arena other than tributes...

( a little louder, not so much talking to the phone as calling out to the area around her )

Haymitch? Are you here too?

( a pause )

Haymitch?
