Is it safe to post here? I can't seem to navigate away from this screen and I don't know if the Capitol has access over this. I mean....I didn't know this place existed till now and I wonder if the Capitol is even aware of it. I hope not!

I apologize for rambling! My name is Octavia! I'm a citizen from the Capitol. The Capitol rules over the people of Panem--the world I'm from. Things have gotten a little...dark here. It's not a cheerful place anymore. It used to be a lot of fun! Now, it's very hard to obtain anything from food to information. No one wants to talk about it. Not that I don't blame them. People disappear really fast anymore. Everyone is afraid. We just listen to what they tell us and accept it. It's better that way...

Enough about that! What is this community like? Why won't it let me navigate away from it's page? What's the purpose behind it? I also wouldn't mind some cheerful news!

... You're really a Capitol citizen?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am....are you from the Capitol too?

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

I'm Katniss Everdeen's sister.

[It takes a few minutes for Octavia to compose herself as best she could. She's excited and at the same time upset.]

Prim? I can't believe this...I didn't think there would be others from our world here! Please, tell me what happened. I heard about a bombing and had seen your sister taken away.

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

She's all right. She's safe.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

I must tell the others the good news! We were all so worried! --

Are the other people in your district okay?

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

Some of them.

[doesn't want to give too much information in case Octavia's a spy ;;]

What others? Who was worried?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Flavius and Venia! None of us wanted to see Katniss and Peeta return to the games...let alone the other victors.

I'm--we are all really sorry that all this happened. Nothing like this has ever happened before...

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

I know. And I think Katniss will be happy to see that you're here. You were all her prep team, weren't you?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

[This earns a smile.]

Yes, we were her prep team! Your sister is a wonderful person. She doesn't know the effect she has on others. Tell her that we're still supporting her.

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I will.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Let me know what I can do in return! This has been some cheerful news!

[supplanted.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so.

[He's infected with a Sin virus. Sloth, to be specific. Buutt she wouldn't know that.]

Do I have to answer all...of those questions?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! You wouldn't have to answer all of them. One is fine!

[createswithink]

...Even that takes a lotta effort, Lady.

Drama Drama Duck. That's the name of this place.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Are you okay? I didn't think these questions were so difficult!

--I already know that answer.

[createswithink]

...They're not. Just tired is all.

Oh. Well. [pauusee] It's a community. With people from different worlds. [And then he assumes she already knows this, too.]

If you know that much, you pretty much got it down.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

Yes, I understand that much so far. How come it won't let you leave the community?

[createswithink]

Magic.

Or technology. Or any other descriptions of how things operate on your world.

Your guess is as good as mine.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

How strange. How does it work for your world?

[createswithink]

[more questions, great. normally he doesn't mind but--] I write in a scroll. Others here use computers. If you don't know what those are, I'd say ask someone else about 'em.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

You use a scroll? I've only seem them in museums! We have computers here. It's how I was able to access the place.

[createswithink]

...Yeah. Museums. [He's from...ancient, practically pre-history Japan.] The community lets you go after you've talked for a while or somethin'.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

So not only does this let you talk to other people from different worlds...but also different times?

That's a relief. I would like to be able to continue my search.

[createswithink]

You got it, Lady.

[He'd normally ask what's she's searing for, too. ~Virus'd~.] Ah...There's other ways it can make things inconvenient. [Buutt he doesn't bother to list them.]

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

The name's Octavia. What's yours?

How would it be inconvenient?

[createswithink]

Issun.

Sometimes it transports you to places. Other times you get these things called 'viruses'.

Actually, they're not all that bad. There's way to have fun with 'em.

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Issun.

Perhaps! It sounds better then what's going on at home!

[createswithink]

Can't you just...move from the Capitol?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

No. It's not exactly that easy to leave.

[createswithink]

Sounds like it. There's probably a way...but maybe it just takes too much time, you know?

[cinnasteam.livejournal.com]

In ways....but most of it involves painful things I wish not to speak about.

[createswithink]

Yeah. I understand.
