despite the l o n g line, finn was rather preoccupied with studying the technology this system had. while advanced in some ways, it also severely lacked in others. no ships, not even speeders. cars, they were something, but damn were they SLOW. if they had the falcon, or really any old ship, they could all be outta here by now. the droids, that’s the only word he could use to describe them, that people were using to select their orders were the same ... slow. finn chuckled at her words, shaking his head. “to be fair, the people ahead of us just might not know how to use those things.” he certainly didn’t. “that or the droids are just acting up. some of the ones i used to know were quite stubborn with when && how they wanted to work.”
Month number two. It was ridiculous. Is ridiculous. Will likely be ridiculous for a very long time. Peggy wasn’t as angry at Howard now. Didn’t mean she didn’t want to be. Having time to cool down and take stock of her situation not that she really had much of a choice was vaguely a good thing. Only vaguely. No more than that. She still had yet to settle down. Any moment, she couldn’t help thinking hoping, she’d disappear from Ivywood and find herself back home with her family. Back home to her position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Any moment at all now please. The only thing that happened was the line became one shorter. Peeking around the person in front of her, Peggy nearly tutted at the lack of progress. “How long do you think it will be until there’s an employee out here taking our orders the old fashioned way?”
beverly wasn’t exactly on the tour because she cared about history. more so ever since the discovery of missing a few key memories she wanted to know more about this place. if she couldn’t remember everything that was gone, she at least wanted to know WHY it happened. what was actually real && what was only in her head, at the very least. but as she assumed, it wasn’t as if the tour was going to give her all the answers. why would it ever be so easy ?? with a sigh, she wandered to the other, arms crossed as digits rubbed at elbows ; a nervous, deep in thought habit of hers. “the books you mentioned, do they go back even further than the years you talked about or —” words trailed off, brows furrowed as bev noticed the other’s pasted expression. she offered a small, kind grin in return. “— long day ??” bev knew all about those.
How quickly things could change. The mood in the town seemed to match Lucy’s now and she didn’t once think she should do something to cheer things up. She was tired of the lies. Lies that she wouldn’t have to return to this wretched world. Lies that her oldest brother and sister believed so thoroughly, it made her angry and she was more and more frequently wishing they would never be able to remember anything ever again. She wished she could forget everything. Lucy had stopped caring. She felt nothing. Not even hatred. To feel hatred would mean she still cared about something. She went to work on autopilot, not listening to a word anyone else was saying let alone her own words. She had the dialogue memorized by now. She didn’t need to pay attention. “And that concludes the tour for today. If you’d like to learn more about the town, make sure to check the gift shop for books on the history of Ivywood. There’s a sale on books to the end of the week.” The pasted on smile fell away as soon as she turned from the group.
at the collision, johanna scowled, words of spite about to part lips when her dark gaze saw her, the mockingjay herself. despite the two not always seeing eye to eye, johanna assumed the other wouldn’t go as far as to pretend to not know whom she was. not after everything. apparently the rumors regarding memories in this place were TRUE. if only she could’ve been so lucky. a forced smile tugged at the corners of her lips, though unable to meet her eyes ( they hadn’t been for quite some time ). “you appear so agile — suppose clumsiness truly is in one’s DNA.” she reached around the other for a few hordorves. johanna would never admit it, but it was almost comforting to talk to someone so familiar, even if they didn’t know, even if it was katniss. “but i can’t blame you for wanting to run away with a full plate. it is all quite good && readily available. i wonder how they’re paying for it all though.”

Katniss was surprised she had it in her to leave George’s side at all. It wasn’t that she was dependent on him so much as it was she didn’t really enjoy parties. Something seemed chillingly familiar about it but she couldn’t pin anything down. One of the few things she did like about parties was the food. It was the only thing provided by this party that she didn’t actively avoid. Perhaps she should have tried to avoid it a little because she was becoming certain that she was starting to annoy some of the other guests getting something to eat as well. When she turned to leave, she almost collided with another person. Her breath held for a couple of seconds, Katniss quickly took stock of the situation before letting out a sigh of relief. “That was a close one. I promise, if I spill food on anyone tonight, it’ll be myself.”
