The Smoke Is VERY Smoky

I have officially made it to the smoke.
And it is very, very smoky.
Turns out that they actually BURN trees here. Yes, they burn real trees. I can't believe what I've gotten myself into.
Well, at least Shay was happy to see me. I had to go through this crazy wildfire (long story- turns out there are these pretties who burn down the flowers for a living), go on a ride in this huge Rusty flying contraption, and then when I finally got here, it turns out that Dr. Cable (the psychotic leader of the authorities) posted a fake tracker on me (the Smokies don't know about the real tracker-me).
Anyway, back to the story: So Shay was happy to see me. It is happy-making to see her again, but I can't fully accept her kindness, because of the whole traitor thing. And guess what? It turns that David is real. Apparently he grew up here in the Smoke, and he is some kind of a leader here. He was fine with me showing up, but there is one guy who I'm not sure about. His name is Croy, and later he was totally asking me these questions about when I left, how much food I had left, and stuff like that. I came up with a couple lies, but I'm not sure if he believed me. *Sigh*
Anyway, I still have the golden locket that Dr. Cable gave me. She told me to just hold it to my eye when I get here. I almost did it earlier, but Shay caught me. Now she thinks I'm in love with someone (Haha, how bogus.) Anyway, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to do it. I think I'll just settle in for a while and then do it. No point in rushing.

The first picture is an actual fire made of actual trees, and the second picture is of a kind of soup, made from *gag* animals. I know, how barbaric.

Okay first of all i have to say I LOVE your background and pictures. They all really make it seem like i could have already read the book, and all your blogs just give me even more details. This blog though seemed really good, i liked how you pointed out spesific things like the trees, and what they ate. It really does seem like you read the book, great job=]!
