13th Game [video]

[There's a bashful look on her face when she opens the journal. It's been a whole day now, a whole day since she returned from her kidnapping. Since she had discovered Prim had arrived in her absence, since she had gotten to once again spend the whole day and night in the company of her sister. It had been amazing. A dream that she had never thought possible. Prim was dead and yet... yet, for whatever reason, she had been brought here.

Perhaps she should have alerted those outside of her household that she had returned. But all she had wanted for that one day was to spend it alongside Prim. To tell her everything that had happened in the months - year - following her death. To tell her about Commander Paylor and the new government of Panem. To tell her of all those she had met here, of Peeta and Richard, Teddy and Sokka and Zevran and Rapunzel. It had been the wee hours of the night by the time she had gone to bed.

But sometime in the mid-morning, she remembers promises she had made. To the man who had helped her in learning how to get her voice back. To the boy who was now suffering from a death penalty of his own. She had promised them both a song. And it seems now like such a small price to pay to gaining not one, but two, important parts of her life back.

She ducks her head for a second, fingers playing with the buttons and beads on the handmade necklace Sokka made her. And then she clears her throat and begins to sing with a voice that, as Peeta once claimed, would silence the birds:]



As I look at the valleys down below
They are green just as far as I can see
As my memories return, oh how my heart did yearn
For you and the days that used to be
High on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to be

Well, I wonder if you ever think of me
Or has time erased your memory
As I listen to the breeze whisper gently through the trees
I wonder if you ever think of me

High on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to be
High on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to be

High on a mountain top
Thinking about the days that used to be
And I wonder if you ever think of me


[When she's done singing, she smiles sheepishly and shrugs.] I promised a song to a few people. I hope you enjoyed it.

[She opens her mouth a second later to say something more. And then she pauses and, for once, actually takes the time to construct a filter. To make certain that Prim cannot see what follows. Because even though Katniss' own birthday is only a few days away, she's not thinking of that day very much. It pales in comparison to a much more important day approaching at the end of the month.]

Does anyone have much experience throwing birthday parties? My sister - Prim - she's here now. And her birthday's in a few weeks. We could never afford a proper celebration growing up. I'd like to give her that. Give her everything that she couldn't have back home. [She frowns for a moment, brow wrinkling in thought.] I also need to build an addition to my house. Where'd I go about getting the material for that?


[ooc: for those interested in what the song might sound like. though this isn't exactly how i picture katniss' voice. nor does she have musical accompaniment in this post.]

[ a man lurks in a doorway -- smiling. he doesn't even speak once the song is done with. he only stands. bloody hell, but he hadn't seen her smile so much as he had since her return. even that little necklace seems to bring her joy, and so he doesn't dare explain the deep association he has with those pretty silver buttons. he's only too happy to see them on her, bringing her happiness.

bloody hell. ]


Your voice, love. It's like nothing else I've heard. [ he announces his presence minutes later -- a low rumble of his voice. ]

[Clove likes to keep tabs on Twelve. Even now. Even now that their alliance is... somewhat repaired but infinitely shaky. Now that she doesn't dare put her trust back in Katniss, like she'd started to. Now that she can't take another betrayal.

But she still plays the first part. Listens to the girl sing, lets the melody float around her at the camp. It hurts, somehow. Hearing her sing like that. Knowing that, according to Sharpe, she hadn't been able to sing since she died. Knowing that was what her actions had taken away. And there's an undeniable emotion that wrenches Clove, even if she can't explain it.

Of the voice, of the words, of everything. She can't name it, but it's there.

Clove wipes her eyes furiously and slams the journal shut without replying, hugging her knees to her as she stares at the rabbit cooking over the fire. She shouldn't have listened to that. She's paid the price for her curiosity. She knows too well that she won't get that voice singing that song out of her head for days. At least.]

But, even with all that behind them - ]

[Though the song is lovely, Pepper hesitates as she considers replying to Katniss's entry. Their last conversation hadn't exactly gone well, largely because neither of them had been themselves, and the one before had been fairly intense.

Still, Pepper had seen Prim's entry, wherein the girl had been equally concerned about the elder sister's birthday. And it's impossible not to want to say something, given the happiness that's clear in Katniss's song, and her questions.]


I can offer some advice, if you'd like. I've planned a few parties before. [Although her experience probably runs toward much more formal affairs than Katniss has in mind, some of the basics remain the same.] Your song was beautiful, by the way.

[She'd had no idea Katniss knew how to sing. Or that she could sing like that. She can't help but be entranced as she listens. And when it's over her cheeks are wet, something she quickly tries to hide, scrubbing furiously with the back of her hand.

She takes a moment to compose herself before she opens a channel, unsure Katniss would want to hear from her, uncertain if things would be... awkward, after the last time they saw one another. What they'd thought of each other. But she can't not say anything, even if she isn't sure it'll be welcomed.

So she just leaves a short reply, trying her best to hide her hesitation behind a crooked smile.]


That was beautiful, Katniss. I... I had no idea you could sing like that. It was really pretty. And... And I'm glad you're back. And that you're okay.

[Grins ear to ear.] Congratulations, eh?

You got your reason to sing back too. [He's clearly glad for her sake.]

[Gai just listens to the singing in silence, remembering the songs of another girl around Katniss' age, a girl who also sang to express the emotions she couldn't convey otherwise. A girl he hadn't seen in more than a year and would never see again.

The singing may not be Inori's, but it soothes his heart nonetheless.]


You're very talented.
