001 ❚ two truths and a lie ❚ daemon: cinnad ( cw: hunting/dead animals )

[hangingtree]

[ For those very few people here who might know Katniss, she's been oddly quite the past couple of months because the player had an unexpected and lengthy hiatus whoops. She's been spending time exploring the area in depth, trying to get a good feel for the land, and has also been scouting out good hunting spots. Not to mention the research and observation she's been trying to do to understand the wildlife of the area better.

As she's making her way back to the place she's squatting and calling home, Cinnad decides to broadcast for her and judging by the way she's ignoring the daemon, a bird-like creature held in one hand, quite obviously a recent kill from her trip into the woods. ]

2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Katniss

1. I have a good singing voice.
2. I taught myself how to shoot a bow.
3. I don't know what pizza is.

One Of These Is A Lie

[ When she hears the sound of a message being sent, Katniss looks over her shoulder, brow furrowed. The furrow turns into a deep scowl as she reads through the broadcast. ]

I swear, I'm going to find someone to reprogram you so you can't post things without my permission. Or, better yet -- [ she reaches out to swat Cinnad with her empty hand but he steps back easily, the feed jostling somewhat ] -- I'll find a way to cook you.

It could be worse, [ Cinnad offers. ] I could have shared something truly personal.

[ex_stony881]

I don't know what pizza is either.

[hangingtree]

They had it back in Eudio, but I never bothered checking it out.

[ Mainly because Katniss preferred making her own food at home; going out to eat seemed like a waste most of the time. ]

A lot of people seem to like it, whatever it is.

[ex_stony881]

You're from Eudio too? That's the third time I've heard that name.

[hangingtree]

Not originally, but that's where I was when everything started falling apart.
I'm not surprised you've heard of it, though. I think a lot of the people there ended up here.

[ex_stony881]

And are you working with the organization here to save Eudio or your original world? It seems like excessive burden to be doing both.

[remarkablymodest]

I'm going to guess two.
Though not impossible, I believe someone of your skill likely learned from a master of the class.

[hangingtree]

I guess you could call him a master. He had done it for as long as I can remember.

[ She'd never thought to label her father as such, but he was undeniably good. ]

[remarkablymodest]

That does sound like a master true.
Was archery his only talent or did he enjoy other jobs as well?

[hangingtree]

"Enjoy" is a strong word, but his main job was working in the mines.
There wasn't much else for people to do in District 12.

[ It's always difficult to talk about her father, especially with her more recent losses, so Katniss is quite thankful that this conversation is happening over text. ]

[pillz]

everhobdy knows what the fk pizza is
is ths a vagina joke
> pie?

i am so hyped for this cr you don't even know

[hangingtree]

No.

[ That's it, at least for a few moments. Then Katniss sends another text. ]

How would pizza be a vagina joke?

laughs and laughs

[pillz]

cuz pie
pie is teh slang word for vagina
& pizza pie
idk
it woudl be a good joke u can tell it nex time
u really dotn kwnow pizza
but u can shoot a bow & sing

[hangingtree]

I've never heard anyone use that slang.
And no, I really don't know pizza. There are a lot of people here that don't, I bet.

[ Which answers, also, that she really does know how to shoot and sing. ]

text; daemon: Graced

[miss_brilliant]

While the third one wouldn't surprise me given that we're all from so many different worlds, I'd guess number two is the lie? Most people don't teach themselves skills like that, at least not the basics.

Also, if you're really that bothered by what it does, I could probably at least try to reprogram your daemon.

[she hasn't done anymore than messing around with Graced's programming yet, but it seems like a pretty simple task]

[hangingtree]

[ Katniss, far more interested in getting Cinnad to stop being a little brat, responds to the second half first. ]

You can? Have you tried it on your own?
What would you want in exchange?

[ It's about forty-two seconds later that she sends a second text, regarding the first comment. ]

You were right. About the lie.
My dad taught me.

[miss_brilliant]

Not that exactly, but I've been fiddling with it's capabilities. I was a programmer before I came here, and I got an ability in that prison world, that makes it even easier. I can sort of just...go inside them and tell them what to do, or not do, to a point. I'd need some specific rules for it to follow still, so I don't turn off something important

[she would have had trouble describing her work to a layman before, and now saying she can basically see code and circuits inside her head...she has no idea how to really put that into words]

That's neat. I could never do anything like that. All my hands can do is type.

[hangingtree]

[ Well, that definitely sounds complicated and not something Katniss is familiar with. But she's interested, absolutely. ]

Is there any risk of you somehow getting stuck or injured?

[ Abrasive as she may be, it's not like she wants someone putting themselves at risk for her just because her daemon is a pain in the ass sometimes. (Honestly, it's surprising Cinnad's even letting her have this conversation, considering...) ]

I used to teach people in Eudio. I've been thinking about doing it here, too.

[astralera]

It is nice to meet you, Miss Katniss.

I shall guess 2, as personal experience tells me it is difficult to gain such skill without some method of guidance.

[hangingtree]

I'd say likewise, but I don't know your name.

Good guess. How long have you been doing archery?

[astralera]

My apologies. I am Era Ra.

I cannot say for certain as I only have memories of the past few years. However, when I picked up the bow nearly three years past my body seemed to remember how to use it, though my mind did not.

It was not until I met my mentor that I became truly skilled with the bow. Without his aid I would not have the precision I do today.

[hangingtree]

Then nice to meet you, too, Era Ra.

[ It's a bit of an odd name, but then again Katniss's is pretty unusual, too, so... ]

Why do you only have memories of the past few years? Did something happen to you?

[ She sends that message without thinking and then, just a few short seconds after, she sends a second. ]

I guess that was kind of rude. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

[cantseame]

Statistically speaking, I would say the first is the lie. Given the wide nature of everyone's origins, it's pretty likely yours could be a world without pizza.

Kind of a bummer, if that is correct. You should try it sometime.

[hangingtree]

Wrong guess, but you're right about me not knowing pizza.
Unless someone knows how to make it and can find the supplies for it, I'm not sure I'll get the chance.
I think I'll be okay without it, though.

[cantseame]

Then color me curious to hear you sing. I could make it if I had the supplies, but the best I have right now is some plants I've found that are good for making tea.

Unfortunately I'm not so good a wizard as to pull a whole pizza out of my hat. Could workshop it though.

[hangingtree]

I don't really sing that often.

[ Which isn't to say she wouldn't sing for him, it's just that ever since her dad died, she's only really sang for a couple people and the circumstances were generally pretty dim. But maybe he'll get lucky someday. ]

What all goes into it? I could try to scavenge up the ingredients.
