ELEVEN
I served as a mentor for a few years, and if anyone has any questions about what they saw or went through in the Games world please address them here.

Warded to Harry^THG; Lily^blood can read

You were pretty good looking for a newborn, son.

	I'm not too familiar with that world, my apologies. Is there anything I can help you with, Melinda? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Oh Merlin. Breathe.~~ 2001. I'm not born yet in 1979. I saw something really bad in the pensieve, and I was scared you'd confirm it, but you can't, so it's okay. If the memory was real, my twin brother and I were reaped together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2001? I'm probably dead where you are from. It's not [...] unheard of. I'm not the one to ask to verify or contradict you there, yes, especially with the Scientists pulling the strings. We'll hope that it was just a combination fear landscape and games. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. From what I've heard it seems plausible, but not guaranteed. So I'm basically choosing to believe it wasn't real. Or it was some alternate version of your world that we haven't seen here. [...] Actually, by that logic, it doesn't really matter whether it's real in your world, because it's real somewhere. ~~Well fuck~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

One of the things the Compound has taught me is to be thankful that somewhere there is a version of me that was happy all throughout their lives. They didn't go through what I went through and were able to live their life [...] normally.

What I'm trying to say is that it's just a version of you. It doesn't make it hurt any less, but it's not what's in store for you. I don't know what the other versions of myself have felt when they listen to or hear my story, but for me I'm glad that they didn't have to endure the games.

[...] and that alcohol is a universal numbing agent.

	Okay. That's true. I just...only one comes out, that whole thing, and neither of us could [...] function. If we were the one. And if we weren't we died at 13. So basically it wasn't fun to see. I like the way you think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I lost my best friend the year before my games; he was the closest thing I had to a brother. You put one foot in front of the other, but you're right. You can never get that piece of yourself back. Have you seen anything that was fun to see? I saw my son being born. I wouldn't call that fun, but - well. It was good to see. Experience is the best teacher. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~Not really the same~~ Yeah. We've never really been apart. Just being in different [...] er, I guess you don't have Hogwarts, but do you know what Houses are?

I have seen some good things. My first go doing the games training I wasn't myself, I was just some generic girl, I guess. The training was interesting. So it wasn't as painful. And there's been good memories of my own, with my family and with friends from home.
