[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?

I demand a night off from the crazy. I'm not suggesting we throw a party or anything, but there has to be something fun to do around here, right? I say we do it. No Council business, no drama. Just friends hanging around and having a good time. You know, like the normal teenagers we're not.

You know what we should do? Have a party. With everything that's happened, I think it would be good for us.

Hey. I know you're here and we haven't really gotten to.. talk. I just want you to know there are no hard feelings anymore, at least on my end. And I don't want things to be awkward. We're all stuck here for now and- I guess I'm just saying that I'm here, as a friend, if you're interested. I'm shutting up now

Oh, hey, this place does have its moments. I found my favorite axe sitting on my coffee table when I got up this morning.

[info]watch_tower

Well, I have a job. It's a freelance job at the local paper but it's some money at least.

If anyone has a lead on a story, let me know. There isn't a whole lot going on here, so I'm sure any help will be welcome.

[The writings of Shaun Mason, unpublished]
People don't know how to handle crazies. They see people with mental problems and automatically assume it's like the old films and shit. Like the stories they read in articles that sensationalize the issues.

I guess we make them afraid.

Though we're not actually any more likely to commit violence or violent crimes more than the average person. Statistically speaking.

But then I also think my dead sister talks to me, so what do I know?

[info]mahelt

There is something I find very strange about this place and time.

Everyone seems so very isolated, in their little solitary apartments. There is little conversation to be had and that which exists must be actively sought out. Don't misunderstand me; there is a great deal I appreciate about this America, but it is - not at all what I am accustomed to, that way.

Even when I first went to live with my husband and his family and I didn't know anyone I wasn't so  lonely cut off from things. There were always people about, if not family then servants, or guests, or people visiting on business.

I wish Hugh were here. And my children.

I need out of here, Harry. I need out of here. This stupid dome or whatever is amplifying everything and my head's been aching since Sunday. If this doesn't stop, I'm not going to be able to leave my apartment ever.

[info]bythesoundngsea

Like, how long do you think we'll be here? Will we have time to get used to it?

It's not bad, really, but I kind of miss the angst. It's a lot easier to write depressing angsty romance or poetry in the zombie apocalypse than in this...pre-rising ennui. Although maybe I could use the ennui.

Or maybe I'll just write more porn.

[info]for_family

We've had some additions to our numbers since our last request for guardianship of those under 18. And some of our previous volunteers have disappeared.

The current list includes the following:

Karrin Murphy
Jo Harvelle
Marius Black
Clara Oswald
Katherine Pryde
Evelyn O'Connell
Helga Hufflepuff
Johanna Mason
James Lester

In accordance with the city council's decision, our youth are being allowed to choose whether they remain with their appointed guardian or if they wish to pass into the hands of our own volunteers. The volunteers themselves are being asked to undergo a background check and social services will visit your residence--which must be established prior to acceptance of a child--to insure that the living space is appropriate for children.

Family are exempted from the process and may take their relatives immediately.

That said, if you wish to volunteer to take on a child respond here. We would also like to know if you have issues with magic, how many children you are willing and able to take on and what age range you would prefer.

All right, so this family that I was told I had to stay with is kind of freaking me out.

They told me that if one of the other 'refugees' (and, seriously, how weird is it that they call us that?!) is willing to take me in, I can do that.

Um, so, anyone willing to help me out?

[info]die_as_myself

What makes a person a good person? Is it intentions, or actions? Is it what they feel, or what they do? Or is it some combination of the two?

When I was reaped the first time, I knew I wasn't going to live. I couldn't. Even if I made it to the end, there's only one person who gets out, you know? It was my plan all along to try to make it that far and keep Katniss safe, and then let her kill me, so that she could go home to her family. And in the Quarter Quell, it was basically the same thing. I knew I was going to die both times. And the thing I wanted most? To die as myself. To still be me. Not to be some monster that the Capitol created for their entertainment.

But as soon as they could, they tried to force that on me, and they succeeded, more than a little. I'm better now, but the things they did to me...I'll never be over completely. And I'm not even sure who I am anymore. I'm not that boy I was on reaping day, or before the games began. I've killed people. I didn't enjoy it, but I still did it. I've almost killed the person who means more to me than anything in the world. And...I guess...I don't know if I really feel like a good person anymore.

I think I will be again, sometime. I've not given up hope. But it's a terrible feeling.

My name is Gwen Shepherd. I'm not entirely sure where I am or how I got here. I can't seem to reach my mum or my friend, Lesley, with this phone.
