[It's pretty easy to spot the differences. The apartment Zatanna shares with Artemis suddenly goes from full to half-empty overnight. Everything, from clothing to weaponry to the tools she'd left in a pile on the table are just gone.
She's heard about it happening before. But like they say, hearing about it and going through it? Two completely different things.
Zatanna tries to find her: message over the journal, a locator spell she's been working on, just walking around and looking around the village. Things don't get any better, however. It's even worse by mid-day, when Zatanna pulls out her journal again.]
Uh, hey. [Zatanna's trying to smile--or rather, she's trying not to cry. There's a reason she's not using video for this, but all that emotion is still pretty evident in her voice.] I know some of you know Artemis and Static. They went home, but it's a good thing. They've got to help save the world and all. Teenage superheroes. The job's never done, right?
[She hesitates, wondering if she should say anything else. In the end though, there's only more silence before she closes the journal. She's going to answer the people who reply, eventually. For now, with the book set aside, Zatanna draws her knees up to her chest and just hides. She probably won't be that hard to find if people know where to look: the rooftop of Community Housing 5. But since she's alone--really alone--she lets some of those tears fall. She just can't keep it in anymore.]

She’s going to be okay there. [It’s awkward and uncomfortable, but it’s all she has. It’s better than the silence.]
no subject
[Even as she asks the question, not hesitating to do so, there's still hesitance in her voice. Because she knows the things people say to make a bad situation better. She knows how they can't be trusted. That some people will say anything to make you feel better.
And she doesn't know this girl well enough to know if she's one of those people.]
no subject
[It’s a mix of both, and something Zatanna’s saying as much for herself as she is for Katniss.] We were fighting a battle—a bunch of bad guys basically brainwashed our mentors, and we were saving them. I didn’t get to see the end of it, but I know we’re going to win.
[They have to, for so many reasons.]
no subject
But there's absolutely no way she could protect Artemis in the girl's world.]
Good. That's good.
no subject
[She still feels like she should be saying something more than this. For all her prowess, Zatanna hasn’t stumbled on those magic words to just make everything better.]
Um. I guess I'll talk to you later?
