[HELLO, EVERYONE. Nice and trauma-filled from that horrible vacation?

Haymitch isn't here to make it better.]

Judging by all the unhappy faces, I take it didn't go well down there. Maybe next time you'll take a lesson from those of us who were smart enough to stay behind. Might not be the best place, but at least we know the ship wants to kill us all. [Snicker.

Annnd there's a pause, because while he knows Peeta's gone, because he hasn't checked in, and that stings after losing Katniss, (and with Finnick and Annie in bad shape) shock of shocks, he has other people he cares about.]

Anyone happen to notice a little girl tagging along down there? Goes by Mattie Ross. She'd be the one with braids, preaching justice to the locals and making a damned fool of herself. Hard to miss her.

[AND NOW HAYMITCH GETS TO BE AWKWARD.]

Don't know which one of you yanked Annie Cresta out of all that, but it's appreciated. Finnick's in no state to thank you, himself, so I'll save him the trouble.

All right, talk. I know at least one of you went down there and both of you can't be in as bad a shape as the rest of them. How bad was it?

It was just really more quiet than usual.

[killarevolution]

Nice while it lasted, too.

permavid & text. whoops no piggybacking filters here

[culver]

[she hears annie's name, and is immediately interested. even though he's not the kind of person she'd usually talk to (read: male), if he knows annie then she wants to know him.]

annie
okay?

permavoice

[killarevolution]

Fine, I assume. [He has no fucking idea, but she'll come out of it. Victors always do.]

permavoice SUDDEN ANNIEJACK APPEARS

[maredementis]

[She forgot Nill. Entirely. But she forgot everyone.

It's only seeing wings that reminds her. She can't put on video and let Nill see her like this. You protect children. (Until you can't, every year, until they die and die and die and you hate yourself for not knowing how to save them.)]

Nill. Sweetie. I'm sorry--I haven't felt very well. But I'm okay. Are you okay?

They could have worked on their manners, really. [B o r e d.

But he's sort of lying and its why he's not replying with video, since there's nasty bruising and scrapes on his face and that's not confidence boosting. At least the shaking wore off long ago. He settles for serious after a second though.]

What do you want to know?

[voice] ; 50% Encrypted

[killarevolution]

Just what went on down there, mostly. Keeping an ear to the ground's no good if no one wants to talk about it.

Really?

[killarevolution]

Don't give me that. Walked right into it, both of you.

[maredementis]

[Speak of the crazy and lo, they shall appear.]

Haymitch.

[killarevolution]

Annie. [Well, at least she sounds lucid.] Heard they had you in medbay.

voice;

[suddenlycaptain]

So you'd rather stay behind instead of even attempting to find out more about the universe we're stuck in?

[ Don't make her think you're like Johns, Haymitch. She doesn't need to deal with 79 more kilos of gutless white meat. Worse than gutless, maybe; Johns had at least known there were things out there who wanted his blood. ]

We didn't all go down there for a vacation.

voice;

[killarevolution]

And did you find out anything? [He's far from gutless, but he knows when to cut his losses and he trusts anything Ward and Resnik say as far as he could pitch them both out the airlock.]

I know what you all went down there for, and you found exactly that, just like what we found in those labs. Trouble. More mysteries you can't solve.

Sound about right?

voice;

[motioned]

Jeez, you don't have to be so mean about it! I didn't go either, but...

voice;

[killarevolution]

They knew what they were getting into.

[ voice/50% encryption ]

[yardbird]

You know Annie?

[WELL, AWKWARD IS AS AWKWARD DOES.]

...I, uh. I wasn't the one who got her out, but. I'm glad they did.

[FRIEND FROM THE OLD COUNTRY...]

Good to know she's made friends besides Finnick. It'll be good for her, assuming what they did to her down there's reversible.

[How do I shot legitimate concern?]

[ This is the hard news. The news no one wants to hear. Chase has searched the ship, looking for something--trying to get glimpses of Annie--but it's blank, and she feels an odd weight in the pit of her stomach. ]

Sir?

[killarevolution]

Yeah? [Haymitch raises an eyebrow, but there's little else on his face. He's expecting bad news, because he pretty much always expects bad news.]

( V I D E O )

[cloy]

[ Ah, if it isn't you again. Ros smiles, the desire to talk in 'private' implied by the way her lips bow suggestively. ]

Misplaced someone, have you?

( V I D E O )

[killarevolution]

[His jaw twitches a bit in something that could be a smile, but on Haymitch it's more of a grimace. He recognizes the suggestion. Maybe he's been a little less subtle about not trusting the networks and getting people to meet him to discuss.]

Two of them, in fact. Suppose that calls for a drink. [And that is an offer.]

[northerner]

Mattie is missing? And Annie was taken?

[ IMMEDIATE CONCERN. ]

[killarevolution]

Mattie's gone. And Annie's recovering.

[Just gonna go ahead and correct you, King in the North...]

Video - 50% Encryption

[bottlearum]

[Seeing as Jack can't technology worth a damn, he sticks with the only thing he knows how to do--video. As a result, all of Jack's bruises and burns are available for Haymitch to see.

Not that he's going to make a fuss about it. In fact, he's going to pretend he's not injured or shaken up about the thing at all.]

Been through worse, mate.

[Although really, how much worse was dying when his mind was almost completely taken over?]

Video - 50% Encryption

[killarevolution]

[Haymitch obliges video too, if only because hahahaha... switching is hard unless it's text. Fuck texting.]

Yeah, imagine you have. You look like hell though. [Which is Haymitchese for GOOD TO SEE YOU NOT DEAD, BROSEF.]
