[This is Cinna.
This is Cinna reading the network. It's silent as the realization finally dawns on him.
This is Cinna dropping the network device and the sound of his receding footsteps and a shout, barely heard before the door slams shut.]

Rue? Finnick!

[The device remains silent before it times out, only to click on again, much later. This time you can see Cinna, sitting in his living room, deceptively calm.]

Greetings, City. If I may, a moment of your time.

It's come to my attention that a rather peculiar Game is being played today. It's a popular one back home, and I simply can't resist playing along so tell me, should one want to sponsor one of our noble and talented Tributes, who should I talk to?

And if you're interested in sponsoring anyone, I have several suggestions I'd like to make, you won't be sorry.

After all, some bets never change.

[ooc: Back-dated to early this morning, just after Katniss' post. Also, he responses might be strange and vague - he's going into Capitol mode and you just don't scream about rescuing people in public at times like these.]

This is normal where you come from?

Everyone has their entertainments.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

This isn't entertainment.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ah, but to some it is. And they, apparently are in charge today.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

It's not right.

What about getting them out of there?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

That's always a possibility, of course, but I'm sure the Gamemakers have something in mind to deter that.

[sonofposeidon.livejournal.com]

Just because they're gods doesn't mean they can't be challenged. [pause] But you sound like you know more about this. What's going on?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

They're called the Hunger Games back home. A pair of Tributes, one male, one female from each district sent to compete in the Games. Last one living wins.

Dunno 'bout you, but I got a couple'a Oranges on that thing in the blue armor to survive.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Don't underestimate the powers of stealth and accuracy.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

In case you hadn't noticed, he's also got a shitload of guns. I'd say he's got a pretty good chance of makin' it outta this in one piece.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Not if he takes foolish risks with those guns.

[Ginny's voice comes through in a hiss, like she's working on staying undetected.]

D'you have any idea of how many are stuck in here?

voice;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Back home, it's always an even number, here, who can tell?

...are you in the Arena?

voice;

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

No, I'm in the library.

[Okay, she can't keep a rein on her temper right now, sorry Cinna. A rather explosive sigh, then she continues, more apologetic.]

Sorry. Yes. Yes, I've been in here since... Merlin knows. I've never seen a curse like it, it's absurd.

If you can find Katniss or Rue or Peeta, tell them I asked them to give you help if they can. I think that would be a nice alliance. Well worth sponsoring.

Cinna. I'm fine right now. Haven't found Peeta or Katniss yet, but I'm looking for them. I haven't heard anything from Finnick, so I don't know how he is.

I'll be okay. Sponsor those who might need help.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he sucks at text so hard.]

[She'd switch to voice, but she doesn't want to be heard. Sorry, Cinna.]

Thank you both. I'm looking for her now.

[Finnick is actually, y'know, chilling listlessly in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling. Just like he has been the past several days now.]


[OOC: FORGIVE MY TARDINESS my internet died for NINE HOURS but I am back now!]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[Screw that, this is Cinna, barging into your bedroom.]

Finnick! Get up, where are Rue and Peeta?

[Action]

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Rue and Peeta? They're not here?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[Pinching the bridge of his nose, Cinna speaks in a measured tone.]

Would I be asking you where they were if I'd seen them on my way in? Katniss is gone, there's... there's a curse on.
