6th Design [accidental video]

Oct 23, 2010 14:30

[The video opens, angled strangely as if the video is accidental. Only half a face is visible - pale, sunken eyes, and a stubble'd cheek. The normally put-together Cinna looks positively taken apart. A hand comes into view, rubbing over his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose as he begins to speak in a bitter tone.]Bravo, City. Not even the ( Read more... )

feeling lost, the future looks short, my arrogance shames me, lecturing, those poor children, curse commentary, my life is at an end

Cinna?

Private; threadthefire October 23 2010, 20:38:08 UTC

Peeta. [There's a slight pause.] I'm sorry. For everything you had to go through, I'm sorry.

Private; risetwice October 23 2010, 20:39:34 UTC

I'm sorry you had to see that.

Private; threadthefire October 23 2010, 20:40:24 UTC

Never be sorry. More people should see it - perhaps they'd learn something.

...Thank you for helping me yesterday, Cinna...

You...you did pretty okay in the Arena.

threadthefire October 24 2010, 03:28:44 UTC

I'm very sorry you had to relive that.

fallenbrownbird October 24 2010, 03:31:05 UTC

It's okay. I'm sorry you had to live it at all...

I survived, Rue, that's the important part.

Personally I don't think it should get an encore.

[ooc: so sorry for the lateness of this ;_;]

text ][ threadthefire October 25 2010, 04:33:32 UTC

no, it shouldn't.

Usually when that curse comes around, things aren't as... nightmare-like. Just depending. Sometimes it's showed happier things.

[ Katniss happens to have been listening this whole time to his network entry, though via her bedroom doorway rather than the network itself. When she walks into the kitchen she catches the device, surely meant to be discarded or at least hit the wall with a satisfying crack but it would be a waste and they might need that. Cinna might, that is. She doesn't like the idea of not having a way to be in touch with him, here of all places, as if Panem wasn't bad enough. Some days she has no real say on which one is worse.

She thinks he looks worn, which is only to be expected, but it goes blood and bone deep and to Katniss it looks rather like guilt; she guesses this much at least on her own experience with it even if more of her own guilt is shame. It doesn't occur to her that Cinna has anything to be ashamed about, but she's not been a fighter by her own choice. It's just what had to be done at the time, no show of great courage or a paragon to fighting the good fight. Often it's just the case of wanting to live and to make sure ( ... )

[On some level, he knows she's there, after all he could hear her tossing and turning, struggling in that mockery the City made sleep as he passed her room on his way to his current perch. But he hadn't realized she was up, or that she'd shuck up on him until she speaks, making him jump a little. He takes a shaking breath and turns to look at her, his voice tired and a little harsh in his current space.]

Just for my sake, can you try to make some noise when you move?

aimandfire October 30 2010, 01:49:30 UTC

Sure.

[Her nod is simultaneous with that word and Cinna is one of just a few people who could get an 'I'm sorry' from her, but she conveys this today with the furrow of her brow and a look that isn't quite sheepish. Sheepish is too light-handed. Apologetic may be the only word for it, in fact and she makes it a point to pull the chair out like a normal person and sit in it, adjacent, which still manages to feel very far away right now.

Did he walk into other's nightmares? Or have his own? Both?

Her hands curl on her knees, fist, and fingers dig into palms-- hidden by the table. Her eyes focus on the coffee. ]

It tastes as bad here as it does in Panem.

[ Small talk. She's not so good at it, but that doesn't always rule her out of trying. It just means the attempts are usually rather poor. This time, perhaps, it is not as bad if only because things are already so bad to begin with. ]

[He nods, all is forgiven when he sees the look on her face.]

It does it's job. There's tea, but I haven't made it, would you like me to get you some?

[He runs a hand over his face, and gets up without waiting for a reply. Somehow sitting there, having her across from him makes the guilt feel worse. How can he even pretend to take care of her? He was obviously worse than useless against the City's tricks.]
