One. ~ Audio. then video.

[districttwo]

[There's a sudden click on the forge and then there's the sound of heavy breathing. Then a shock-a noise-and then a rustle-like clothing moving around. Then a mad scramble and suddenly barge-there's a face.

It's a young face. An attractive face, belonging to a powerfully built young male with short blond hair-matted-absolutely matted with blood and gore. His gaze is wide-eyed.]

...Where's 12?

[he hesitates] Why am I back in my room? Is this-is this another test? Another arena? Or..

[The next part is said half-hopeful, half horrified. Deep down he knows it's not true, and it won't be a particular shock. Still.]

...Did I win?

Comments

[omar]

[Omar is eyeing that hair. He doesn't seem especially fazed, but, you know, that's a lot of blood.]

Not exactly.

[districttwo]

[frown. just. frowning.] ...Capitol lab?

have katniss's facetwin's brother :D

[wedonot]

It's alright, this isn't another test. Are you hurt? [That. Seems like the important thing to establish here.]

Cato is displeased. Ramen is most pleased.

[districttwo]

...A test? [Cato settles back] Why? Is there one coming? I can pass any test you throw at me. Just give me a chance, District Two can easily beat district 12.

[It's about honor. He's about to say more as a hand creeps towards his throat.]

.....Easily.

[insolubleriddle]

Open your door, step out. Tell me the number on it.

[It sounds like this kid might take orders from what he percieves to be his superiors.]

Re: Audio;

[districttwo]

[You guess right. Cato's on his feet.] it's a test sir?

[video]

[vainqueurdeluxe]

[Poor Cato. Cashmere would feel bad for him if she had it in her. But she really doesn't... and he'd see right through her facade anyways...

Doesn't mean she couldn't try. She offers him a sympathetic frown and shakes her head. He's been dead for over a year now... this place really did take in all kinds. Her answer is to his last question.]

Afraid not.

[districttwo]

[He knows you. He knows you very well.] ...District One.

[there's a pause] ...Ma'am. [Glimmer's mentor. Well, they touched each other and probably were contenders for interesting relationship. Let's put it that way. This is weird. Like meeting a mom or an older sister.]

...what do you mean?

[demigoddess]

[ Her eyes are wided and full of concern. ]

There are doctors on the ship, if you need to have that looked at.

Re: video;

[districttwo]

[That's new. A ship.] Ship? what ship? And I'm functional.

[slow] ...Miss. [He scratches his neck absentmindedly] Where's 12..

[peektuttut]

[Well shit. He's perusing some other replies quickly before trying his hand.]

Cato, right? My name's Tim. This isn't a game, but I can explain on the way if you tell me where you are.

[districttwo]

[Cato frowns. They keep saying they want to help-and then asking where he is. Is it a trap? an Ambush?

He hesitates.]

I'm in my room. At home. [And the camera pans around-a pristine room. Something is off, a boy's room should not be nearly this-military level of clean. there are a few family photographs on the walls near a desk and that's it nothing else.]

...You mean on this not-panem place? I-

How do I know this isn't a trap?

[youwillgotohell]

[Oh. Oh, God, that's a little horrifying to see. Morgana's no stranger to horror, but magic horrifies in very different ways.]

What happened to you?

[districttwo]

["Kill me. Because death is all I'm good for."

He's frozen with his arm around baker boy's throat and there's a soft wet sound.

Cato for his part is frozen. Staring into space.]

I lost.

[trenchcoatedly]

Twelve who?

This is the barge.

Probably not.

[districttwo]

Twelve.

Everdeen. Katniss Everdeen. [he snorts] Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire.

[most_feared]

You should report to the infirmary immediately. [Explanations can wait.]

[districttwo]

[He wipes a hand over his forehead] I don't think it's my blood. I think it's dog's blood.

[scarlet_discord]

Aw Hell, another one arrives messed up.

Hey--hey. Cutie. You hurt? You need medical attention, or just a shower? I got soap and towels.

[districttwo]

[his eyes go up.] ...Hey.

[Girl. Hey this is easy.] A shower would be good, but there are people who say the infirmary has to come first.

[bob_fraser_rcmp]

Echoing everyone else here, son, better get yourself fixed up. In the meantime though, I'm Bob Fraser, a warden and willing to help you if you have need of it.

[districttwo]

Okay.

[pause] Warden?

[thestarspangledman]

Are you alright, son?

[districttwo]

[he is so confused by now.] ...Now I know none of you are capitol. Or District Two. I'd be whipped for failure this bad.

[video]

[deadliestviper]

Sorry to tell you this, but no.

You lost pretty damn hard.

Re: [video]

[districttwo]

[He looks down at his hands.] ...I gotta get back in the game.

[didknowthat]

[Oh sweet Jesus her stomach just turned itself inside out. No one should be covered in that much gore and blood- especially not a child. And teenager or however he might be, he's still a child.]

Oh my god- This isn't a test. Or an arena. It's .. a prison ship. [Yay bad news. And maybe if she checked, she'd see that other people have probably already filled him in. Oops.]

I'm sorry.

[strangehistorian]

Oh my. Are you alright?

[darknessb4me]

You've got something in your hair. Might be a bit of leaf or something.

[This is completely dry, but is in fact Arthas' idea of a hilarious joke.]
