the orient express

I asked Annie to marry me.

And she said yes!

Can we meet?

You get Lover Boy's gift? Didn't know you two had it in you, though. I'm almost impressed.

Has anyone seen a cat wandering around the train lately? I don't particularly want to leave him behind in China, even if he is stubborn as hell sometimes.

( Left outside his door. )

Da Jia Hao!

Welcome to China folks! Little announcement for those lookin’ to do supply runs for the train.

Me’n Claudia rigged you folks up some ‘trigger cards’. Only got a half dozen so far, but anything with a magnetic stripe’ll do, so if you got a card you ain’t usin’ send it our way.

All you gotta do is use one of ‘em at any atm in the city, follow the screen prompts the card’ll bring up for ya using the keypad and you’re laughin’. - I’ll be hangin’ back in the front Kitchen if you're lookin' to shop. Be sure let Claudia or me know if it does somethin' wacky.

Don’t fret we ain’t stealin’ no old folks life savin’s or such, this don't take money from any account -- just hackin’ the machines with a bug to pony up, so’s we can stock up and go on eatin’ for however long the train keeps on running and bringin' in more folk needin' to eat along for the ride.

‘Course this ain’t a call to be greedy, but if someone wanted to take their girlfriend out for the best xiǎolóng bāo the city’s got, pretty sure you ain’t gonna get smote for it.

Are we going off the train? Can I go by myself?

Want to practice shooting again? I need to let off some steam

I might regret this.

What does 'booty' mean?

[Private to Katniss]

Annie would like to meet you. Thought maybe we could meet up for lunch in the dining car?

This place is comforting for some reason. I might even sleep the whole night. Unpopular opinion: I like the change of scenery.

You think the dark can scare me? The bugs are a nice touch, though. Did you think of them all on your own? I'll eat them for breakfast!

I swear, if I start fucking singing again I'm going to bust someone's damn head.

Waking up and seeing that we're underground was awful. All I can think about is the mines. I tried to go back to sleep, but then I dreamed about my father and the explosion. I'm afraid to close my eyes. I just hope I didn't wake anyone up with my screaming. I don't want to explain anything.

The nightmares are getting worse. I wish I could talk to Peeta about them. I...guess I could talk to Finnick, but he seemed almost haunted when we talked. I don't know if that's worrying over Annie or something else. If Prim and Gale aren't already thinking about the mines, I don't want to be the one to remind them. If I could, I wish I could erase the memory altogether, but

How soon until we're above ground? I hate this.

[Sent Train-Wide]

So I got cornered by a empousa vampire in the observation car last night. Are there a lot of them on board? Do they normally just come up to you and ask to eat you? Anyone know if celestial bronze destroys them?

[Private to Thalia]

Hey. So, yeah, there's at least one empousa on the train. She didn't know what I was but she kept asking if she could taste me. My blood, I guess. So, um, just keep your eyes open.

There's something really wrong with being able to shoot fish while underwater.



Lady Artemis, are you here? It's Thalia.

Yeah, I don't much /fnurtz zeekoo wawa wa wa drumpundump/ Is there a /hoch an znort meeech/? Because I could seriously use a /glurks/ right about now.

For anyone who might be interested I am hosting a party tonight in the Parlor Car. Drinks, dancing, all things fabulous. You get the idea. No dress code though glitter is highly encouraged ;)

I've come to the conclusion that I don't like water.

The audio picks up in the middle of Katniss singing a haunting melody, unaware that she's being recorded. Halfway through the third verse, a loud beeping noise interrupts her. Katniss shrieks in surprise, and a loud smashing noise cuts off the audio.
