RD16, Orb # 1

[dailybread]

[A young man with bare shoulders looks up at the orb, his face knitted in something like resignation. There’s something metal and sparkly dangling from his fingers.]

Does anyone know how far we are from Panem? The capitol, specifically. [He remembers Katniss’ face, relaxed in sleep; the last time he saw her before getting up to stretch his legs and finding that little blue book.] There’s a friend I’m worried about.

[If you look closely, somewhere in the background of the orb is a large pile of shimmery blue fabric. He looks back up at the orb and rubs at the back of his neck.] And if someone could point me towards a change of clothes, I’d appreciate it.

Perhaps some of them have come here. Did you..participate in that event?

[dailybread]

Yeah. Twice.

[He thinks of Katniss, of the weight of her head against his shoulder.] I was in the middle of the second when I came here.

[emblazing]

She might have been brought with you.

[dailybread]

My friend?

I haven't heard from her.

[emblazing]

Describe her to me. Would you rather not look at all or try?

[dailybread]

She's got dark hair in a braid, and gray eyes. High cheekbones. She probably has a bow and arrows with her.

[Frowning.] Do you think you've seen her here? The last I saw her is where I came from.

[emblazing]

It is not unlikely. One from my world is also here.

[dailybread]

Let me know if you find her.

And thank you.

[ LFKWJLKJFE HE NEVER SAID SHE WAS A GIRL I THOUGHT I READ THAT. oo-oops...:( ]
