15th Throw - [ written ]

[It's a question that's been on Clove's mind.

Okay, she's had a lot of questions lately. Valentine's Day and that whole week... It wasn't unkind, but it made her think too much. There were too many uncertainies. The ones with Cato... She didn't feel like thinking about.

But Katniss. She can talk about some of that.]

What do you all do for a living, where you're from? Or what were you going to do? Does everyone in your area do it?

In Panem... your district says a lot about what your job will be. Not always, but probably. Like me... If I hadn't gone to the Games? I'd probably have been the foreman in a factory. Or an overseer of a quarry.

And what you do... When did you learn to do it? And from who?

I'm the Avatar, and I'm kinda the only person who does that. But I'm also the nomad. If I wasn't that... Well I heard that I'd be good at taking care of animals or making jewelry!

[But he's wary in his answer, likely having heard some details about such things about her world from Katniss at the spa.]

I've been an airbender since I was little, and I learned from Monk Gyatso. It wasn't until 12 that I found out I was the Avatar, and I got instructions from different bending teachers plus my past lives.

[The handwriting is the same, but the face in the journal picture window is different. Actually, the face is also the same, but Ami's evidently dyed her hair blue and put in colored contacts. Or else it's practically her twin. It's hard to tell which.]

I'm hoping to become a doctor. [Hadn't Ami once said she was a doctor in her world?]

I own a shop. A magic shop. And I'm an exorcist. It's kind of a departure from what I was going to do but I like it well enough.

[ he's told clove rather a lot already. but-- ]

An officer in the British Army. Before becoming a Major, I captained a light company. Skirmishers. Sharpshooters, lass. And not everyone does it. Only the best are chosen for the Rifles. [ it's a unique mark even for those in the rifle ranks -- picked out and told they were good at something. ]

But I supposed I learned my craft well before that.

[ he speaks it. he writes none of it. he doesn't want to write. ]

I've spent the last few years doing some bookkeeping. I kept track of the expenses of the people I worked for.

I'm a ninja. If you have the qualifications for becoming one, you can usually join the ninja academy. But not everyone in my area does it, tons of people stick to safer things. You have the freedom to choose what to do in Konoha.

I learned it from the ninja academy and instructors. And then I honed my skills under Guy-sensei's watch! [ Most of these definitions are probably not very helpful. Sorry, Clove. ]

I am a ninja and bodyguard. It is something of a birthright, though I have the choice to walk away from it, should I desire.

[With truly not very good at all penmanship:]

Well Im an ~~xorsit~~exorcist in training. Ive been learning it at cram school with all my classmates. Not everyone does it tho - its kinda a family thing for a lotta people tho [now he thinks of it]

[Jane's handwriting had prominent loops in it and was just a bit larger than necessary, but it was still legible enough. Well, she thought it was, anyway.]

I'm a Drifter. I'll go anywhere in the world as long as it's worth my while.

Sometimes they're born with it, but that's lucky and unlucky.

I'm a marine, I work for justice capturing criminals, mostly pirates.

I worked as a park administrator back home. I operated and maintained the robots that cleaned and patrolled the park with my co-worker Yamase. He's the one who taught me how to maintain them. [Talking about Yamase makes him think back on his final, unpleasant memories with the man but he tries to push them aside for now]

Not many people were employed there are the office since not many people were needed for it and not many people needed the job. [He only needed it to pay for his tuition for the school he was going to not graduate from.]

Well, my job's to keep a handle on Ponyville's weather! Running the weather team's tough work, but those clouds aren't gonna move themselves.

[Plus, she can totally clear the sky in ten seconds flat.]

But what I really love doing is pulling off jaw-dropping stunts left and right! The weather's just a side thing until I finally get into the Wonderbolts.

I'm a fighter. Some people call me a terrorist, others call me a freedom fighter. I don't care either way as long as I accomplish what I'm after.
