One. ~ Audio. then video.

[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?

[Let's be real, Cato... Who in Panem doesn't know her?]

Cato.

[Let's go with older sister, okay? Cashmere would hate to think she's old enough to be anyone's mother... She hesitates a moment, then switches to a private filter.]

[private]
Apparently, this is prison. A means to... reform those who lived less than desirable lives.

[She rolled her eyes a little at that thought.]

[She's farrah fawcett-for a lot of people. Not him, but a lot of people. OKAY MAYBE HIM. Maybe sometimes.]

[Private]

...A prison? like pre-collapse prison? [He sounds skeptical] is this another arena? Like that one game where everybody only god swords and shields and we fought in a castle?

[The year "game of thrones" came to the Hunger games okay.]

[Private]

Sort of... I'm still trying to figure it out myself. It's a ship... kind of... But not exactly like the pre-collapse times.[She pauses a moment and glances around her room, as though trying to make sure she isn't being watched...]

No... it's not an arena... If it is, no one here is aware of it.

[Private]

Good. In pre-collapse prisons they sell people rather then make them into avoxes. [Making someone an Avox is actually a point in the capitol's favor. That's punishment. The rest is just abuse.] for favors and things like that. Peace Keepers were fat and overworked and had things thrown at them and fashion-models were considered useless.

...What are you doing here if it's not an arena?

[Private]

[Sorry, Cashmere tuned out most of that... In favor of taking the chance to gauge the situation... She knew the question was inevitable... She just didn't want to answer it any time soon.

Her fingertips grazed over the scar on her chest...]

That's an excellent question... But I only just arrived a few days ago, so I'm not entirely sure either.

[Private]

...It seems we have something in common then. A state of confusion.

[pause] I know you and Enobaria worked out the details of my alliance with Glimmer. Is it still in effect?

[District One: Playing the pretty Card. District Two: Playing the military card. boom.]

[Private]

[Crisis averted, for now. The corners of her lips tugged into a smirk at the next question and she leaned in nearer to the device.]

And what do we gain from this alliance, Cato? It's a different game we're playing... One where we don't know the rules.

Two heads are better then one in any given scenario. District Two and District One have a long tradition of assistance.

[She grins a little more.]

Well spoken.

Until it's in our better interest to break the alliance... We'll be allies.

[Enobaria. Would be. so proud.]

So what have you found out? Apart from these people know nothing about history.

[If Enobaria were to ever find out, yes.]

Those who need to be "reformed" are paired with a person who will attempt to do so. And more strange things than [She pauses. She shouldn't mention mutts... really, she shouldn't....] Capitol experiments tend to occur on a regular basis.

[She hesitates a moment...]

How's your head?

[His eyes widen] ...none of the capitol's experiments are strange. They're useful. [For reasons that he can't explain.]

I'm not some sort of criminal. I was a tribute I was a [sacrifice. except he doesn't say it. Instead he looks a little lost.] ...Bloody. She shot me in the throat I guess when I fell.

Dogblood.

[How jaded you would have become if you had won, Cato. Cashmere, however, just ignores that response for now.]

They think we're flawed.

[She frowns and nods...]

I saw...

[She then pulls the neckline of her top aside a little to show the scar on her chest. As long as they're allies, she may as well assure him they're on the same page.]

They don't know I'm an inmate, and I plan on keeping it this way until I am proved to be otherwise.

...I think I may have made a mistake as far as that's concerned. Thrust into a new arena without a district partner.

Glimmer and I had a system, in which we shared strengths and weaknesses. We need a career pack if we can find people to trust.

It's not as though we had a choice of our partners being here...

[After all, she would have loved to have Gloss with her here.... but he wasn't.]

We will both be on the lookout, in that case. Try to find others if they're worth allying ourselves with at all.
