Giving her another go, looking at places and picking up the second book

[junenotkorra]

Attempting me again? Your first "attempt" was not enough? Well I suppose you are predicting things to settle down in the near future, what with your holidays coming and going already. Though is this really an attempt to stride into the New Year, or just the rambling a of someone who has drunk too much eggnog?

And what in the world are the "Hunger Games"?

According to my mun, the 'Hunger Games' are ..kind of not a good thing. In any case... what happened with your mun's first attempt in playing you? Didn't have enough information...?

[junenotkorra]

A bit, I suppose you could say they were in the middle of the first book when they picked me up. [How much information is too much, she wonders.]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy wouldn't be sure about the 'too much' information thing. Unless it revealed something that kind of killed the interest - and that would be criminal. She's seen it happen though. ]

I see. Well it's good that she has more information on you now - and she'll have even more when she reads the other book, so that's even more reason she'll have your voice down.

Why were you asking about the Hunger Games?

[junenotkorra]

Perhaps, I won't hold out for high hopes.

As for these "Hunger Games", they were thinking of placing me somewhere related to them.

[celestial_wizard]

Oh dear.. I see then. Well from what I hear that kind of genre is very competitive - there was a movie based around the concept of having to eliminate the other participants. A sort of 'last man standing' battle royale thing. I don't know if this game your mun is considering is similar to that or not.

[junenotkorra]

They're calling it "thegames". It's supposed to be based off of what we had been talking of prior.

[wastoid]

"Hunger Games", huh?

I wouldn't know... but from the sound of it, turning starving into a game?

Hee hee...! How cruel.

[junenotkorra]

Indeed, how cruel. But at the same time I don't believe that's precisely what it's about.

[wastoid]

A name like that implies suffering, in any case.

Wonder what they're competing for...

[junenotkorra]

I cannot say without knowing what it is. [Though it is starting to sound like the Trials from back home.]

In any case perhaps it's for food, money or prestige. It could be any number of things. People fight for more than just one reason.

[wastoid]

Sometimes they fight just to survive. It's a hell of a world out there, you know.

...Or worlds, in these cases. Heheh...
