Anakin's office [early Monday morning, before classes]

[sith_happened]

Anakin, who had been running on the power of coffee for the last week, hadn't stopped watching the Games since the last shipment of bread had been delivered. There had been interviews with the survivors' families: Anakin was looking only to see Katniss's sister and to check that she still had all of her fingers attached.

He rubbed at his eyes blearily as the games began again, steeling himself for another day of devious, horrifying death. They were down to eight. Things were going to get even uglier.

[OOC: Up suuuuper early for the Hunger Games crew. NFB for character death.]

Re: Johanna and Katniss are BFFs!

For three days, Jaina had watched, not really feeling much of anything in regards to all the violence except anger that by day two had dampened as she got more used to things.

So the fact that Johanna did that, especially when Jaina had been thinking that maybe there was more to this girl and that she could be trusted somehow, startled her more than anything else. And when Katniss started moving again and got up, Jaina's sense of relief was mixed with wondering why she'd been left alive and suddenly feeling like things were going to go very wrong.

"No, look," Anakin said, leaning in to get a better angle. "She made Katniss seem worse than she is. If she was fast enough to concuss her and make her arm bleed like that, she could have gotten her knife into something a lot less meaty. There's something bigger going on here."

He hoped he wasn't just being ridiculously optimistic.

"Then why injure her at all if you're going to leave her alive?" she said, immediately wishing she hadn't said that last part out loud. She did leave out what she was thinking about head injuries being really tricky business, and there was a good amount of blood loss.

"To distract the Careers," Anakin said, ignoring the part where the two declared Kantiss as good as dead anyway.

"Come on, kid, get up," he murmured.

Alex glanced over at the two, and interjected herself into their conversation.

"Why stab the arm instead of the heart, or lung?" she asked, trying to follow along. "Something strange is going on."

She had no idea what. She was a lawyer; she ought to be better at intrigue.

"You can still move with an injured arm," Anakin said. He had a little bit of experience in this, having lost, well, both of them at some point. "The blood makes her look a lot worse than she is."

He hoped. He was putting a lot of this on his interpretation of what Johanna had been trying to say before the cameras moved off of her yesterday.
