Though Mitsuko was doing a bit better in school now after she had that talk months ago with Katniss and Prim, there were times when she simply didn't feel like sitting inside at a desk. And since history was one of her least favorite subjects, she decided to skip that class, figuring she could always just catch up on what she missed today. She never had any problems with that.
She had missed lunch, so she decided to get a quick bite at Hinkles before wandering around a bit. She found an empty seat and ordered a burger and a chocolate milkshake. While waiting, she glanced around and spotted a blonde woman nearby and while she hadn't actually met her until now, she did recognize her as someone the Everdeen sisters mentioned.
"Hey," she greeted. "Glimmer, right? Katniss mentioned you once before." Or it could've been more than once. Mitsuko hadn't cared much beyond the first time.
Glimmer was having trouble adjusting to school herself. She didn't really find it interesting or stimulating, she was a killer not a goodie two shoes. She'd left not long before Mitsuko had.
When the girl addressed her she tensed,"yeah that is my name. What every could she have said about me?" She wasn't the friendliest, but she didn't bite the woman's head off either.
Bonus points for the blonde, okay?
"Not too much," Mitsuko replied with a shrug. "Mostly that you were from the same world as her and Prim. And I think she mentioned something about you being a Career Tribute or something like that."
Whatever that meant. Katniss had only mentioned it briefly, but it sounded like someone who was trained to participate in the Hunger Games. Which was definitely different than what she knew of Katniss and even back home with the Program. Since classes were picked randomly, there wasn't any preparation if you were chosen. You just went and killed your classmates.
Glimmer nodded a bit. “I see. Yes we are from the same world and I am a Career. I trained for the games from the time I could walk.” she shrugged a bit as she turned her glass around her in her hands. “There weren’t too many of us who were careers. Just a couple districts.”
She didn’t care. It meant she was more prepared.
“That a problem?”
"Cool," Mitsuko shrugged, only pausing because her burger and milkshake was done. She grabbed the milkshake and took a sip. Not too much, though. She didn't want to get a brain freeze or anything. "We have something like the Hunger Games where I'm from, but we didn't have Careers. No prep. If you got chosen, then you either play or you die."
She'd arrived just before she was sent out onto the island. She had every intention in playing and killing her classmates just so she could go home, but she never had the chance.
