3rd Throw - [ action/written ]

[Residents who see her around will notice the change in Clove starting on May 26th. She walks with more certainty, lingers less in doorways before entering shops, and rarely checks the knife up her sleeve.

It's still there, but she relies on it less. She is calmer, still hesitant around non-humans, but she doesn't flinch when someone larger than her approaches from behind.

She also looks about two years older, closer to nineteen than seventeen.

It only takes her until May 27th before she has to write in the Journals.]


Malnosso:

I know of no other way to contact you, so I write this here in hopes that you will see it.

My name is Clove. I reside in Community House #2, room #3.

If you are able to bring us here, you are able to send us back. Perhaps it is difficult. Perhaps it is dangerous. Perhaps it is expensive.

I am willing to risk the dangers. I will also do anything you ask of me to pay the debt this will incur. Send me to your worst battlezone, ask me to retrieve information-- anything. Name your price, and I will pay it.

Just send me home.

I need to return to District Two.


Thank you for your time, if you will grant it to me,
Clove

[She will be around town in her altered state through May 29th.

...After June 5th?

She'll spend a few days half hiding at her lake-side camp, avoiding the town.]


(ooc: From 5/27-5/29, Clove has been AUed into a world in which she won the 74th Annual Hunger Games with Cato as her co-victor. Feel free to, if you'd like to reply, have your character either respond to her written entry or do an action post of running into her around town. Dated replies are wonderful!)

Huh, Clove-chan? [ Usagi is normal, at least, but she's staring at the entry in the journals and quickly replying.. ]

You want to go back that badly? Is something wrong?

[Sally officially feels like getting "I am a moron" tattooed on her forehead, because it hadn't occurred to her to just ask like that. But then, she's also skeptical that the Malnosso will bother to listen.

But more to the point, this...doesn't sound like Clove. Not really.]


You all right, Clove?

[Sally's surprised to learn Clove has family - at least, one worth getting back to. She isn't sure how to feel about it, given what she knows about the girl's past, but...it's probably good, right? That she has people who care about her, and who she cares about. Waiting for her. She's still stuck here, but at least it's something.

Still...it's a definite departure from Clove's usual behavior.]


Right. I'm sure we all want to get back to our loved ones - I know I do. Only you hadn't mentioned them before; your family.

[ oh, he'd been meaning to let her know at some point that he'd checked out the barrier but he was going to put it off until he was back in his own body at least until he saw her entry. She didn't really have this same sense of urgency before, at least that's what he thought. ]

Did something change?
kyknus: (event! details I never wanted to know)

[personal profile] kyknus 2012-05-29 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand the frustration... [ even if he has no actual family to speak of, he does understand. And well they didn't exchange too many details when they spoke, neither of them seemed too keen on it for one, Hyoga doesn't really notice anything off. ]

If asking was all it took that would be nice. For your sake I hope they listen. [ but he's not holding his breath. ]

I meant to let you know that I took a look at the barrier though.

[There's a frown when she reads this. A look of confusion. Why would Clove ever post something like this? She has even less to return home to than Katniss does. If that's even a possibility for the Career. What happens to the dead when they leave Luceti? It's something she hasn't liked dwelling on, for Rue's sake.

Seeing this, almost hearing Clove's insistence in the words -- it makes her uncomfortable. And for the first time since the girl's arrival, she actually dares to speak to her.]


Don't be stupid.

[No one's ever said she'd be very nice.]

[Eyebrows raise first when she hears her name – her real name – spoken. She can’t recall a single moment when the girl hasn’t called her District Twelve. She understands. At least, she thinks she does. It’s not much different from her need to ignore the chatter between the animals, isn’t it? Whatever makes the kill easier. And nicknames help.

Their truce is barely one at that. No reason for niceties. No reason for Clove to be… almost polite to her.

She shakes her head again, unable to stop from scowling again. Giving the Malnosso anything? Maybe it’s to be expected of a Career. Anything to play the game. To win. But maybe… maybe after meeting Finnick. Meeting some of the other Victors of the Quarter Quell, she had hoped for different here. Here, where as far as Katniss could tell, the only way to truly win is to remain aloft from Malnosso plans. Not to be a piece in their games.

And just to return home to another dead tribute? Perhaps when Thresh had hit the rock against Clove’s head, he had caused irreparable brain damage.]


But he’s dead. [She’s not trying to be mean. Not really, not this time. Has Clove not adapted to Luceti? It had seemed otherwise in the girl’s last post.] So are you. There’s nothing for you to go back to.

[Minutes pass before Clove receives an answer. Maybe the fellow tribute meant to bait her into a fight, asking what's wrong with her, coming up with some family scenario. Because the idea of Clove with a family - of fighting any tribute with a family. It makes her think of District Eight's tribute in the last games. Cecelia saying goodbye to her family during the reaping.

That kind of guilt. That kind of guilt is almost impossible to live with.

But she remembers this kind of behavior. Peeta's hijacking. More importantly, her own here. The way she really thought Rick was her uncle. It makes her turn the page, look for other people she thinks she knows.

There's a lot of strange things happening right now. And she feels surprisingly calm when she replies.]


Did anyone explain the shifts to you?

No.

They want to experiment on us, and they don't let us bargain with them about that.

I'm sorry, Clove. I understand wanting to go home. Believe me.

You're really determined. Who knows, that might just be what is needed to talk with them.
