Who: Effie and OPEN
When: 20th September - mid morning
Where: Near the graveyard
What: Post Arrival
Rating/Warnings: Low/None
Status: Open/Ongoing

Effie was confused, she'd found herself in a graveyard which was strange to begin with and it had taken her a moment to work out exactly what it was but then she'd decided it must be some kind of trick. By who she wasn't sure, she'd been removed from the Capitol prisons so she assumed it must be Coin. She had suspected the woman would do something but she'd expected more direct action. Not this underhand method.

Moving quickly she left the area heading towards what looked like buildings, maybe she would find some answers there. She felt out of sorts, her wigs and make up had been taken from her which had been bad but then the questions and pain had started. She knew nothing, Haymitch had kept her in the dark but that hadn't stopped Snow. When she'd been released thanks to the rebels she had been different, trying to be happy for Katniss when she had seen the young girl but she knew she hadn't fooled her. She looked different in more ways than just her clothing.

Leia had been walking through the graveyard. Whilst almost everyone she spoke to indicated there was no 'way back' so to speak, she felt it necessary to keep looking for clues to answer the questions going round her head. Why had she been taken, was there a significance to the timing of it. Would she every return home.

She looked down at her finger and twisted her wedding ring round a few times. She missed Han more than she cared to admit. It felt like they finally had the opportunity to settle into a routine as man and wife having just got back from their honeymoon.

Then suddenly Leia was aware of a strange figure, not strange because it was humanoid but someone she did not recognised. She seemed dis-orientated and confused. This struck her that the person was much like how she was when she first arrived.

Leia followed her a little way as she left the graveyard and proceeded near some buildings however, it was obvious she was not aware of her surroundings given the erratic choice of path.

Leia moved quickly to catch up to the individual. Then once in arms reach she tapped the girl on the shoulder and said in a soothing voice 'Can I help you?'

Effie had no idea where she was going she just wanted to find someone, anyone who might tell her something. Even if it was a lie. It was very confusing to have suddenly found herself in this unfamiliar place and part of her wished she were still in those cells at least there she knew what was going on.

She jumped as she was tapped, her mind having been running a mile a minute and distracting her, "Oh, oh thank goodness. I thought I was alone" she said before letting her mask slip into place, "Thank you so much. Please, could you possibly tell me where this is? I seem to be completely turned around, I don't recognise anything"

Leia recognised the confusion in Effie's eyes, the relief when she realised she was not alone. 'It's going to be alright.' Whilst Leia did not believe this herself, she knew reassurance was probably the best thing she could give at this point.

She continued with 'Your in a place called Lawrence, Kansas. It is normal for you not to recognise things, a lot of us have never been here before, your not alone. The important thing right now is for you to make arrangements, none of us know how long we are going to be here.'

Leia could not fight back the brutal honesty, she felt Effie has a right to know no matter how difficult it was. 'Tell me who you are and where your from, perhaps we can find some people you know?'

She gestured for Effie to follow her as she led her further into the populated areas of Lawrence and eventually to the housing complex to get her settled in her new accomodation.

Effie smiled, "Thank you" she said, the reassurance was just what she needed to hear even if it wasn't true. The woman obviously didn't think it was but Effie appreciated the effort anyway.

Lawrence, Kansas meant nothing to Effie but with the lack of mention of districts and Panem she was beginning to realise she was very far from home. "Make arrangements? What do you mean?" she asked before taking a breath, "My name is Effie Trinket and I come from Panem. I was born and raised in the Capitol and had been working as District Twelve's escort before the rebellion" she told the other woman as she followed her towards a more populated area.
