DISTRICT 1: (Luxury Items) The finer things in life may not always be necessary, but they can be appreciated nonetheless. Then again, sometimes the best things in life aren't physical things.

DISTRICT 2: (Masonry) Peacekeeper or stonemason, are you keeping the law by any cost, or being rock steady for another?

DISTRICT 3: (Technology and Mechanics) Even the poorer districts have their share of electronics and gadgets. Sometimes they're a help, and other times a hindrance.

DISTRICT 4: (Fishing) Patience is key when it comes to fishing. Have you got it, and the skill to get what you're after?

DISTRICT 5: (Power) Is it a good thing or a bad thing when the power is down? Or is there another kind of power that's key right now?

DISTRICT 6: (Transportation) Everyone's going somewhere. Sometimes it takes a car or a plane to get there, and other times the place you want to be is just down the street, or even just down the hallway.

DISTRICT 7: (Lumber) It can be a long wait before trees are ready to cut down. You've been waiting for something for a long time too.

DISTRICT 8: (Textiles) Clothes can be many things. A simple necessity. A luxury. Something to be enjoyed. Some make a statement, or are for specific occasions. Are you getting dressed (or undressed) for a reason?

DISTRICT 9: (Grain) Pita bread or Peeta bread? Or do you prefer your grain in liquid form instead?

DISTRICT 10: (Livestock) Friend, food, or fur coat?

DISTRICT 11: (Agriculture) Time to live off the land, or at least enjoy the great outdoors, whether it's gardening, picnicking, or taking a moment to do a bit of hunting.

DISTRICT 12: (Coal Mining) Coal can turn into pearls! Okay, no, it can't, but with enough pressure they can turn into diamonds. Good things can come out of hard situations, and some come out stronger for what they've survived.

DISTRICT 13: (Nuclear Weapons) Everything has gone to shit. Time for those fight or flight responses to kick in. Do you bunker down or face the conflict head on?

THE CAPITOL: It's player's choice because in the Capitol you can have just about anything.

[Katniss can't really figure out why. Maybe she just doesn't like the way Annie keeps occasionally shivering. She knows what it's like to be cold, but she doesn't even know if the sympathy's drawn out of that or from knowing Finnick or from just wanting to stop feeling bad for the girl. She doesn't need anymore people under that umbrella.]

[But she comes up in front of Annie, holding out a jacket by the collar, her expression blank as she can get it.] Take it.

[Annie's lips part, but she's not sure what she wants to say, or even if she wants to say anything. Katniss is Finnick's friend and Annie trusts her for that reason. But she's also kind of...intimidating.

There's a moment where she doesn't say anything, trying to pick which words to use. It probably doesn't help dispel her reputation for madness, but Annie has long since stopped caring about that.] Is it okay? [That's what she finally decides on, and it's not for her sake. She doesn't want Katniss getting in trouble for overdrawing clothing allowance or something.]

[She watches for the reaction, not sure what to make of the silence but not all that surprised by it either. She's trying not to think of Annie as terribly mad anymore, not in the way the word implies and precedes her]

[When she does finally speak up, Katniss gives the jacket a wave.] It's fine. [A pause.] I didn't sneak it away, if that's what you're asking.

[Not that Katniss is the most aware all the time, but she knows what it's like in District 13. Too well.]

[Another shiver works through her, and her hands open and close a little. She misses Finnick, even though he can't have been gone for longer than ten minutes. She doesn't like letting him out of her sight, doesn't feel safe otherwise. Doesn't feel that he's safe, either.

But he trusts Katniss, and Annie can do the same. After another moment of hesitation, she reaches for the jacket] I don't want you to get into trouble. [It's important for Katniss to know that that is why she's so uncertain. But then she smiles, and her face lights up] Thank you.

[Her hand drops idly back to her side once Annie finally takes the jacket, even if she doesn't put it on right away. It's a start.]

[The concern is only a little surprising - it's the part that's genuine that's really surprising, to be honest. Most people in Thirteen only seemed concerned about the Mockingjay part of Katniss Everdeen.]

There are other things I'm more likely to get in trouble for. [Breaking all the rules forever, a life. But awkwardly:] Don't - you're welcome. It's nothing.

You don't like listening. [It's an easy agreement, with no real judgment on it either way. Annie's just been paying attention.

She pulls the jacket on, her lips twitching up again as she tugs the zip up.] If it was nothing, I wouldn't have a jacket. [Duh]

[She opens her mouth to retort - and then promptly closes it.] Apparently I'm not very good at it, no.

[If she had been, the whole of Panem probably wouldn't be in the middle of a war right now.]

[Katniss watches as Annie pulls the jacket on, feeling satisfied that she accepted it. Her blank expression twitches a little, not quite amusement.] You just looked cold.

I'm glad. [She tugs at the ends of the sleeves, giving her hands something else to do. She can't help the way she looks past Katniss though, like maybe she'll spot Finnick coming back.] If you were better, they might not have wanted to get you out. And he would have been stuck in there, too. [There's only one he it could be to her, so she doesn't bother clarifying]

I was. [Her gaze casts about restlessly] It's a cold kind of place.

[Katniss's eyes almost follow Annie's, out of habit, out of needing to see what might be behind her, but she knows there's nothing there, so they only flicker briefly to the side.]

[Her mouth sort of draws into a line at that, though.] They might not have sent us back at all if I were better at it. [It's out before she really thinks about what it might mean to admit or say it, and it's strange, to say it while talking to Annie of all people.]

[And they didn't get everyone out. They didn't save Peeta. She didn't save Peeta. Something dark flashes over her face for a moment, but it's gone in two seconds.]

[She makes a sound that's almost a snort.] In more ways than one.

[She shakes her head, a simple denial of what Katniss is saying] Not just the Games. There. [The Capitol] No one ever wins them, you know. You never really...leave.

[She frowns, screwing her eyes shut for a moment like she's trying to block something out. She doesn't want to ruin this, doesn't want to run away inside herself] I don't like it. It's better, but this isn't how people should live.

[It's nice to know Annie doesn't blame Katniss for any of it, but it doesn't mean she can't suddenly stop thinking it. She lets it go, though, at least in the conversation as it stands. She'd been kind of a jerk to Finnick, after the two of them were rescued, but something tells her sharing that with Annie is a bad idea.]

[And then just sort of looks at Annie for a moment, a little studiously, before turning her gaze away.] Yeah. Yeah, I know. [Nobody decent ever really wins, but winning isn't even winning either.]

[More agreement, though. It's both surprising and not.] Guess that's something we have in common. [You know, the whole not liking D13 thing. Isn't the whole point of this whole rebellion to create something better, for everyone? ]
