Never ever have I ever felt so low
Who| Lady & Open
What| Exploring the Capitol, looking for birds.
Where| A park
When| Presently
Warnings/Notes| N/A
It had taken quite awhile for Lady to feel safe enough to venture out into the world again. Of course, she'd gone through the motions and done what was asked of her, but her first instinct was to sulk and hide in her shame and let her fear consume her and hold her like a blanket. This world had seemed so beautiful before she'd entered the arena. Now everything seemed dark and overwhelming again.
But she was alive again, even if she wasn't able to understand the methods or reasons behind her resurrection. And while she wasn't in her right body yet, she was able to move and contemplate things. So once she felt up to it, she dressed herself properly and ventured out into the world, looking for birds to chase. Or squirrels. She always liked squirrels.

Chibi-Usa sat on a bench, looking at all the happy (albeit strangely-dressed) families walking around and playing and sitting and laughing. It reminded her of home.
It was one of the few things that did. And the jealous resentment she had once felt in Crystal Tokyo was there as well, but for entirely different reasons. Before she had been jealous of families because they were together, and grew up together, while she stayed young amidst salacious whispers. But here, the jealousy was that none of these people would ever know the true horrors of the Arena. They were all ignorant of the effects on the Tributes.
She didn't like it at all. How could these people truly be all right with the Hunger Games? See it as entertainment?

On the off chance she was another Tribute, Lady decided it would be rude to not offer a greeting to her.
"Good day," Lady said, nodding a hello to the girl as she walked daintily toward the bench. She offered a smile, warm and sincere, oblivious to the Capitol citizens taking note of them both. "What a lovely afternoon, isn't it?"

The woman looked quite pretty. Conservative, even, compared to other...wait, was she even a Capitol citizen?

"The birds seem to have flown away," she continued, clasping still strange hands together. "Were you also watching the birds?"

"Oh. Yes, that's right, there are many people here. What do you suppose they are doing in the park?" Surely they weren't all looking for birds. Lady herself was quickly realizing that people generally seemed to be more interested in other people than in animals.
