《Rue's gammes》Chapter 18: Rebels
Advertisement
“What?” I try to keep my voice down.
Prim holds her finger to her lips.
“It’s really secret. We’re rebels. The Mockingjay has become a symbol of rebellion, and we want you to represent it. You can’t tell anyone, not even your mother.”
“Your house is probably bugged,” Cinna explains. “That’s why we took you out here. There could be small microphones in your clothes as well, that’s why I gave you the dress. You can keep it though. It looks good on you.”
I blush a little despite myself.
Cinna continues. “We have a lot to tell you. Haymitch will explain.”
“Well, sweetheart,” Haymitch starts. “You have probably seen on television reports about District 13?” I nod. Everyone knows it was destroyed years ago. “Well, District 13 still exists. People live there. A lot. Maybe more than in this District.” I find that shocking. District 11 is one of the biggest. “The people there are planning a rebellion. But they need inspiration. That’s where you come in. you will be their inspiration.”
“How?” I don’t want to state the obvious, but I’m barely a teenager. I’m not exactly ready to lead a rebellion.
“Just be yourself,” Gale shrugs.
“But it’s not like they’re going to be able to see me, is it? There aren’t cameras in my house or anything?”
Cinna sighs. “Yes, and no. There probably are cameras in your house, but they are planted by the Capitol, not us. There may not be any. We don’t know. That’s why we took you out here, in case of hidden microphones or cameras. Come to think of it, we probably shouldn’t have let Prim inside the house with you. We only brought Prim so it wouldn’t be three strange men appearing at your door. But what’s done is done.”

They still haven’t answered my question.
“How are the people from District 13 going to see me, ‘being myself’?” I repeat.
“You’re going to be in the Quarter Quell,” says Prim quietly.
I shake my head. “The other District 11 women said they’d volunteer for me. I’m not going. I don’t want to and I know I couldn’t handle it.”
Haymitch smiles. Not happily. Not even evilly. But it’s an unsettling smile.
“You are coming to the Quell. You think you aren’t now, and later you’ll still think you’re not, but you’re coming.”

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
