... Jesus. All right, since it looks like we're all gonna die anyway, I may as well do this now. I'm taking a vote - who agrees that Fear asshole is a complete dick?

Also, not that it really matters, but was anyone else in Vancouver before you ended up here? Humor me.

Hell, I'd take the shithole town I grew up in over freezing to death here, and I swore I'd never foot in that place again, once I left. At least there was electricity. And cigarettes.

[64th]

I wouldn't. I'm never going back home.

[bekommen]

Well, it's not my first choice, that's for damn sure. I'm just saying, compared to freezing to death in this shithole, I'd re-evaluate my options.

[64th]

I'm dead in my world so I don't have much of a choice.

[bekommen]

... What, you mean like, someone's got a hit out on you or something?

[64th]

Actually dead. Johanna - she's here - scrawny, bald, short - she put an axe through my chest.

[ in defense of someone Katniss was going to try and kill but - details, details. ]

[bekommen]

... That is fucked. Up. Are you like a ghost or something?

[64th]

No. I don't think so. [ maybe? ] At least I'm alive here.

[bekommen]

How can you have taken an axe to the chest and still be alive?

[64th]

How can I be in an underground city with two guys who claim to be gods fighting for control of my emotions?

[bekommen]

OK, well ...

[Yep, Nick's got nothing; that's actually a good argument. She exhales through her teeth.]

You don't have like. Special powers or anything, do you? Advanced regeneration, or - I dunno, metal skin or something?

[64th]

[ she laughs. ] I wish. As far as I can tell, it doesn't come with perks.

[bekommen]

[Nick exhales through her teeth, mumbling:] It's not as great as it sounds.

[64th]

What, powers or being dead?

[bekommen]

[Powers, but.]

Nothing. Nevermind. I'm sure we'll all have the pleasure of being dead soon enough.
