[ Not seen: how long this video has taken to make. There's been multiple attempts. Annie doesn't have the best experience with screens, or broadcasting, or with making announcements to strangers. And at least for her past appearances as a victor, she'd been able to have some wickedly sharp eyeliner. Here, her bare face is feeling very bare.
(She's taken the time to braid her hair. It's all she can do. It's made her feel a little better.) ]
So. Um. Hi.
[ Then she stops because her voice was a tiny squeak and she's not doing this again, this is ridiculous. She could ask Finnick to do this, but she can do it. She can. ]
Hi. So, uh. I'm Annie. Finnick and I, we're from District Four. Panem? Panem. But no one else has, or, or um, seems to have heard of it. So.
Where's everyone from?

its really neat
obviously national boundaries don't show up like they would on a map
so all you can see is one big earth
full of humans who really are not all that different from each other
in the ways that matter :)
B) sorry I'm not sure what you mean
are you talking about like
traveling back and forth between alternate timelines?
no subject
But seeing the ocean and the clouds, wow that'd be nice.
B) No, but we'll get back to that. It's like I take a run in the morning, I can go north or south. I choose south and come to another crossroad where I could go east or west. Then if I chose east, I might meet a friend, or if I chose west I might see a bird. But if I'd chosen north, then the latter choices wouldn't be available. Is that how it works?
no subject
B) yes that sounds about right
each choice builds on the ones before it
as well as everyone elses choices
in this way the timelines branch and diverge
