Scared for my life [OPEN]

When| This evening and into the morning, nearly a week after her death
Notes| Bring on the CR. Please.

Holiday had never been the type of woman to cower and hide. Yet, she did so for an entire week.

The first day after she awoke in her room, she refused to leave the bed and even nearly attacked the Avox who came by to try and clean up the room or bring her food. After being bold enough to peek out of the door and realizing that she was nowhere near Providence anymore, she simply stayed there, lost on what to do. She even tried to make some makeshift weapons, but they would vanish after she inevitably fell asleep. The only news she had on where she was or what she was there for was caught in snippets of apparently common knowledge.

This was some terrible dream that she couldn't wake up from, even while the man's face and the feeling of his boot rattled around in her mind.

It eventually became known that she was getting nowhere doing what she had been, so Holiday decided to finally venture out... or try to, at least.

She opened a small crack in her bedroom door before slipping out...

"Someone like whom?" Eva blinks a bit. "Are you alright?"

Holiday seems to have retreated back to the nervousness she displayed earlier.

Eva nods, assuming Holiday's still just shaken up from the arena. "It happens sometimes after the first few games, you know? Hard to stay in the present, flashbacks, difficulty concentrating. It's normal."
vissernone: (Basic - Talking)

"I didn't sleep for eight days after my arena. If you can get some rest tonight, you'll be a mile ahead of the rest." Eva winks. "Do you want some tea, by the way? There's some in the District 9 suite that I'm just dying to try."

And after a second, "No pun intended."

"Well, fix that. If you don't sleep it'll make your stress symptoms worse." She taps her nose. "Trust me."

"I won the 37th Hunger Games when I was sixteen." She doesn't seem proud or ashamed of the fact. The truth is that she's deeply, deeply ashamed, but there's no point in subjugating herself to prove that to others. "Thirty-eight years ago."

Eva shrugs. "It was a long time ago. Now I just try to usher this crop of Tributes into the bright new world of lights, camera, action."

"You're here to stop a war. Try thinking of it that way." Eva half-smiles. "Keep people entertained, keep them distracted, and they don't kill each other."
vissernone: (Happy - Oh?)

"You get used to it. I've had fifty-four years to get used to it, and you've had a few days." Eva shrugs. "Good luck on applying to get out. Really."
