[Locked to Katniss, Finnick, Johanna, the IT, SEES, & previous rescuees.]

[Chie is red-faced, puffy-eyed, and sniffling when she turns on her webcam, but the way she's glaring at the camera makes her look more dangerous than a crying schoolgirl ought to be capable of.  Her voice wavers just a little when she begins to talk, but it quickly steadies.]

Okay guys.  I guess by now you've probably all seen that someone else has disappeared into the Dark Hour.  Usually it's my b-buddy Souji who's making these announcements, but he's... he's not back to shore yet, and he put me in charge when he put me on the lifeboat, so I guess it's going to be me.  I'll be leading the rescue squad into the Dark Hour, and if you don't like it, then.... then I'll kick your ass!

Um.

[She looks offscreen and takes a couple deep breaths, then stares back at the camera, determined.]

Katniss and Finnick and Johanna, this message is mostly for you, to try and explain what's happening.  We're going to get Peeta back, but we need your help.  The message you saw on the network isn't exactly from Peeta, it's more... it's more like the parts of himself that he hides and, um, that he doesn't like very much are getting a voice of their own.  The place where he is right now is really... messed up and crazy and hard to navigate, because it all has to do with the bad stuff that's inside everybody's heads.  And if we can't find him in time, then... he's in really big trouble.

One of my friends has a way to track him down so we can save him, but he needs to know... everything any of you can tell us about Peeta, because he needs to understand the way he thinks before he's able to smell him.  All I could tell him were stories about working at Belgium-san's bakery, but what we really need to know are things about his past, or problems that he's been having, because those are sort of the key to figuring this all out and... I don't even know if I'm making any sense!  But we're going in tonight, as soon as we can, and the more we know when we do the quicker this will be.  Okay.  Um.

Chie out.

Thank you for helping.

Promise you won't use this information outside of helping to save him. I'm not sure Katniss would like everyone knowing it.

It's okay, we've kept a lot of secrets.
pelagically: (or until the day is through)

He's been through a lot.

In our world, children were picked at random from each district to compete in the games— the last one standing wins. He was chosen. He survived. We had to go back in a second time, that's when I met him... Peeta was kidnapped by our government and tortured. They manipulated his memories. He's better, for the most part, but he has his moments...

They may have tried to destroy his mind, but he has a pure heart. He's one of the kindest people I've known.

I'm sure Katniss can tell you more, she grew up around him.

Katniss knows the most, we just shared a cell block for some friendly governmental torture.

Thank you. You're good kids.

I don't speak for Katniss and Johanna, even though I'm sure they'll agree, but I want to come along.
pelagically: (and you try to swim away)

[personal profile] pelagically 2011-07-25 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure you'll be able to hold any of us back from fighting.

We'll help however we can, all I'm saying is we aren't exactly easily tamed. Sorry. It comes with the territory.
johannamason: (a whole lot more than riches and muscle.)

[personal profile] johannamason 2011-07-25 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
We can handle enough.

Are you going to come?

[identity profile] orphan-moon.livejournal.com 2011-07-25 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not bailing out now. Not even saying Satonaka can't get the job done. Just not quite the obvious choice for it, you know?

What kinds of things do you need to know?

Peeta's the son of a baker. He had two brothers I think. His whole family died in a firebombing attack. We're the first people to win the games as a team. We had to go in the next year as well. He lost a leg in the first games, his heart stopped and he had to be brought back in the second. He paints. He's a good leader, much better than I am - he's good with words, makes good plans, and people generally trust him easily. He's very kind - it used to be an easier kindness, but even now in some ways he's still too kind. When I was very young he

He was captured after the second games. I was much too late saving him. Or I guess "they", not me. He was tortured and reprogrammed to hate me, but he wouldn't let me die when I wanted to. I plan on returning the favor.

Is that enough for a start?

Jeez ... you're pretty scary when you're mad, Chie-chan.

[identity profile] manoamano.livejournal.com 2011-07-26 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
But, uh, don't kick my ass!. Ol' Junpei's here to help!

[identity profile] manoamano.livejournal.com 2011-07-27 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you can count on me, dude! [a little more subdued than he might ordinarily be ... not really in a joking mood after his bro went down with the ship. ;~;] You just say the word.

[identity profile] manoamano.livejournal.com 2011-07-27 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, that's not what I meant, dude ... you're great. I mean - uh, you're doin' a good job. Just ... you know. [the boat. ;~;]

[PRIVATE]

[identity profile] manoamano.livejournal.com 2011-07-28 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah ...


Yeah! You're right, dude. Let's do it! Let's do our best. You can count on me to get your back.

Thank you for all your hard work, Chie.
