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

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.]

Through all the carnage, all the violence, Gabrielle had steadfastly refused to let herself look away. She'd been holding out a tendril of hope as fine as that wire of Beetee's that somehow, despite the Gamemakers' rules and the odds, Katniss would make it through. That these Games wouldn't end the way they were intended to end.

But when the hovercraft came to take Katniss away like it had every time a tribute had fallen and the cannons had fired, she had to turn away and let her eyes fall closed.

Just for a moment -- just long enough to blink the tears away where they wouldn't fall on her parchment, her lips moving silently in a rare prayer that the gods would look kindly on her friend.

Just a moment, though. Her work wasn't close to done yet.
