1st Throw - [ video/written/action ]
[Her approach today: simple, caution edged with sweetness.
Clove has set her Journal on a table in her apartment for the perfect upper body shot.
The key to her appearance is the word "simple." Her long hair is pulled back into a low ponytail. She has enough make-up on to color her features, but it is light enough that it's only just noticable. Her shirt is pale grey, fitted and sleeveless with a high neck but made of light material.
She gives herself a few seconds before she speaks.]
Hello, everyone. My name is Clove. I've only just arrived, and I'm still getting my bearings.
[Remember to smile. She obeys the advice from her absent mentor.]
I've been sort of a recluse these last few days, and I'm really sorry if you've seen me around the village and I ignored you. This is just a lot to take in all at once.
[This isn't the Games, and there are no sponsors... but in a new, strange place like this, a little good PR can't hurt.]
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
[Off goes the feed.]
[A few minutes later, she writes a short note.]
If you're somehow reading this, Cato: come find me. Tonight at sundown.
[Come sundown, Clove is sitting at her makeshift camp by the western lake.
She's sure Cato isn't here. She'd have heard from him long before now if he was. Still, her message was for him to find her at sundown, so she waits.
Her location has been carved into various trees throughout the forest and village using a signal taught in the Academy to make pack activity easier. If he looks for her, he'll find it.
Of course, anyone out that way will see her waiting for someone who won't come.]

The Academy-- where I was educated before I came here-- was very strict with our diets.
[ video ]
[ she's audibly gasping. ]
No way..! That's so mean, being strict with your diets! That seems like the worst thing that could happen to you!
[ video ]
Our diets were controlled, and we had seven hours of physical education a day.
[She wouldn't tell this girl about the worst that could happen. Mostly because Clove wasn't sure which of the many possibilities for the Academy athletic students was the worst.]
Wasn't too bad, really.
[ video ]
I would never be able to go through that!
[ video ]
I can't imagine spending seven hours sitting still in a room with just books. That's what the academics do at the Academy, though, adn they seem to like it.
[Her tone? Definitely conveys her opinion that they're crazy.]
[ video ]
But I think that's boring too, really boring! After a while you just can't read anymore, everything starts to blur in front of your eyes!

They can always go to a village school, but those kids never amount to much more than miners. Maybe a quarry or warehouse foreman if they're really good, but that doesn't happen much.

But...]
"Clove-chan"?
[There's a sneaking suspicion in the corner of her mind that she's being insulted... but this girl hasn't seemed the type so far. So the question is almost entirely curiosity, rather than accusation.]
[ video ]
[ She's repeating it with just as big of a smile - apparently it doesn't seem strange in the slightest to her. ]
We're friends now, right? [ or rather, Usagi is overly quick as usual in considering something friendship.. ] So then I should call you Clove-chan!
[ video ]
Unreliable, at best. But...]
Friends, yeah.
I've never heard that before is all. So it's... a way of calling someone a friend.

That's so cool, Clove-chan, I don't think I've ever met someone from that far into the future! Ami-chan's from the future, but she never mentioned Panem before, so you must be from even later.
[ video ]
So perhaps I could ask you a few questions? Another time, I mean. Not right now.
[ video ]
[ She mostly just mumbles it to herself, that sounds.. pretty omnious, right? ]
Sure, Clove-chan! Feel free to talk to me anytime, okay? That's what friends are for!
