28th Throw - [ written ]

Looks like we're a pretty big drain on this community.

[She's wary as she writes it. Most of the people who'll see this, she hopes, are from the same Luceti she is. But there's no guarantee.]

So I'm organizing a hunting party.

Anyone who doesn't know how to hunt and wants to learn? Meet me at six in the morning by the stable.

Those of us who do know how to hunt will pair you up with a buddy. We'll leave at six-thirty sharp.

Hunting'll be Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Fishing'll be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

[If there's one thing she learned in Luceti -- learned from Katniss -- it's how important these skills are.]

If we're going to strain these folks' resources? Least we can do is try to help.

Heh. You have a point there. I suppose just asking them nicely not to send you back wouldn't have quite the same effect.

And it's possible.

I've met someone who used to be in an enclosure and became a player in their hierarchy.

... you don't say.

[Now he's intrigued.]

Mmhm. I asked her for advice. How to try and do the same thing.

What did she say?

Be useful, make yourself valuable, and be interesting to them.

Sounds easy enough on the surface, but I'm guessing there's a lot more to it than just that.

Definitely. Because you have to know what they think is useful and interesting.

And something tells me their idea of 'useful and interesting' doesn't always match up to ours.

Precisely.

I was encouraged to take up a hobby. Rather than just being a combatant.
