[Evy's on her way to the library when she catches sight of a girl holding her head. The expression on her face is excruciating, enough so that she can't not stop. Staying a few feet away, she pitches her voice low and hopefully reasonably reassuring.]

Excuse me--miss?

[oceanborne]

[It doesn't even register with Annie at first, that the woman might be addressing her. But she hazards a peek just to see who that voice belongs to, and oh. Yes, it appears she's being spoken to. She curls her fingers tighter in the tangled mass of hair and tries (fails) to match the same calm tone of voice.]

Yes?

[proudofwhatiam]

Do you...need anything?

[Some water, an aspirin, a stay in Bedlam?]

[oceanborne]

[Well, Annie can't be too upset at the woman for being... what was it, cautious? Cautious, then, around her. She wasn't projecting the most shining example of "fitting in."]

I need to go home. [To her son, her baby, she'd just put him down for a nap and now he's not with her. It's more terrifying than any arena.] I don't know what's going on.

[proudofwhatiam]

I'm afraid going home isn't an option for you right now. [Best not to lie to the girl, right? She might not seem the most stable, but lying might do more damage in the long run.]/small> Did you read the explanation you were given?

[oceanborne]

Why not? This isn't... it's not an arena, is it? We don't have to fight? [She looks momentarily confused at the mention of an explanation, unused to anything so straightforward.] No. The map, you mean? I lost mine.

[The bracelet doesn't even register in Annie's mind as a place to find this guide or other info, she's already accepted it as simply a tracking device like the one she was injected with in the Games.]

[proudofwhatiam]

No. We don't have to fight. [...Well. They don't have to fight now. It's not exactly a lie. She takes a step or two forward, gesturing at the woman's wrist.] When they brought you here--didn't your bracelet show you an explanation of the place?

[oceanborne]

It can do that?

[So that's a "no," then, on if Annie even noticed the auto-play when the guide popped up. She was probably very busy panicking, it's a full-time job for her. She looks at the metallic bangle with newfound suspicion.]

What else do they do?

[proudofwhatiam]

[Evy reaches out to show her, then reconsiders. Better just talk her through it.]

Touch the gem.

[oceanborne]

[She does so, and nearly flings the thing away entirely when the interface pops up. This is Capitol tech, or near to it, and that's not something most Panem citizens can even get near.]

So... These are where we're given information, then. I've never seen anything like it!

[proudofwhatiam]

There's nothing like it where I'm from, either. [She gives the woman what she hopes is a reassuring smile.] You can contact other people through it--and, of course, it'll tell you what the city's like.
