on mun's indecisiveness

[fletching]

Weren't you the one who said I'm just a pawn to them? [the Capitol, District 13, take your pick; it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, for all they care about her sometimes. she's sitting with Beetee's bow and quiver of arrows on her back, and one -- just a normal arrow, no fire or explosives in this -- in hand, running the fingers of her string hand through the fletching with the comfort and care of expertise.] You're not any better, you know.

Actually, that's not true. Coin at least knows exactly how she wants to use me, I know what they want me to do. Be the Mockingjay. You don't have any idea.

Let me know when you make up your mind.

Sometimes it's better when they don't.

But I guess not knowing is the worst.

[fletching]

I'd rather have some idea of what I'm getting into.

[slyest]

Perhaps you ought to determine your own fate instead of leaving it in the hands of others.

[scanningutterly]

Yeah.

But, sometimes knowing makes it harder.

hey you <3

[fletching]

[WOW THAT. is an incredibly thorny topic. silence is all he gets at first.]

Gale's told me the same thing.

[fletching]

I've been lied to enough. I'm tired of it.

hello~

[slyest]

Perhaps you ought to take this Gale's advice under advisement. Dancing to the tune of another never avails anyone.

been a while, i haven't see you on plurk lately

[fletching]

Sometimes it keeps you alive.

I kind of abandoned that plurk and got a new one. do you want me to add you?

[slyest]

Can you not keep yourself alive?

Hey, it's okay to be a little indecisive, Katniss, don't be so hard on her.

yes, absolutely!

[fletching]

[gives him a flat look, as if to say, i'm alive right now aren't i? which is still perplexing and frustrating to her. she should be dead. she should be dead, and Peeta should have been crowned a second time, except Haymitch lied to her.

standing, Katniss draws her bow, fitting the arrow's notch to its string, but doesn't take aim. she isn't even looking at Loki.]

I was a tribute twice, wasn't I? I'm still here.

[fletching]

I don't have time for it.

[revolutions to figurehead, presidents to kill, you know the drill. though what she really means is she doesn't have the patience, doesn't like being left in the dark.]

[slyest]

A tribute to what, precisely?

[ Loki knows the word, of course, yet what he knows of it does not entirely correspond with her demeanor and usage. And perhaps it says something about him that he does not react to the readying of her weapon. Perhaps simply that he's intelligent enough to notice that her eyes are not on him. ]

[fletching]

[that makes her look up sharply. a tribute to what, is he serious? is he messing with her? he dresses and speaks like people from the Capitol, and while he might not have his hair or his skin dyed, Cinna never did anything more than line his eyes with gold. he might not be the only one.]

The Hunger Games. Weren't you watching? [this is sarcastic: everyone in Panem watches the the circus.]

[ex_defrosting574]

Could be worse. At least she's not totally shelving you.

[ Totally resigned to never getting played whoops. ]
