[Voice Post]

Looks like all the crowds from this past weekend haven't subsided yet. I've been fighting my way through people all day, the streets are packed full, and it seems like everyone's yelling. Is it really going to be like this all the way through until the end of next month? I don't know if I can handle another whole month of this ( Read more... )

faking it like it's hot, mags, sometimes i kill people, kind of a dork actually, want a sugar cube?, the life of a victor, let's get dangerous, s is for shenanigans, the eye of the storm, annie, district 4 is better than yours, back to business, affected, curse: fourth wall destruction, carry on my wayward son, what is this i don't even, schmooze schmooze schmooze

[ Annie last remembers Finnick promising her to come back, because he would never promise her anything else -- and his promises have made themselves into a truth she clasps onto with both hands. When she wakes up in the water it's not as startling as it should be; but Annie knows the water better than she knows most things, better than she ever knew a lot of things. Still, this isn't the kind of water she expects it to be and she wonders if she is dreaming, surrounded by city lights and foreign everything that mimics the Capitol but bears none of the oppression because it's alien. She has reached the point where even the unknown is less frightening, but everything is a little frightening.

Standing up as quietly as she might, she looks around and startles as a black box falls, seemingly from a pocket in her dress, but she has never seen it.

That voice though...

Finnick.

Her heart flings itself out toward the sound of him and she finds her own voice somewhere in the pathway. ]

Finnick...

[ There's that signature sloshing of the fountain water as she climbs out, feet cold on the City ground and a shiver going through her but she thinks it doesn't matter so much if she has his voice. She's not as mad as they all think her to be, or Annie doesn't always feel that unstable at least.

Oh she has her moments, and they are longer than others, enough to be called the majority, but it's a stillness and a fear that knifes its way at her from the inside out. She can't help it, and curls her hands tightly, nodding to his voice. Just him saying her name is enough to call her back, but not only to him.

To herself just as much. ]

Where......are you?

[Of all sounds in the world, of course Finnick would know the sound of water. And considering where he arrived, and how this place seems to work, he has a pretty good idea of where she might be at the moment. So he's running at top speed, fighting his way through crowds and swarms of visitors, shoving them out of his path as he makes his way toward the fountain.

Toward her.]

I'm coming. I'm coming, just hold on--Annie--

[And soon enough, he comes running up, looking frantic and disheveled but his expression is bright and his smile is wide in the way that only Annie can invoke.

He doesn't quite crash into her this time, but stops short a few feet away from her, looking her over as if reassuring himself that it's really her, she's really real, she's really here.

And then he closes those last few feet and sweeps her into his arms.]

....i give up aim won't work, the notifs arent coming in for annie WHAT IS THE UNIVERSE ex_ambivale892 November 30 2010, 03:15:34 UTC

[Her arms slip around his waist and her eyes close because it's safe where he is and more than that maybe Finnick is safe. Last she knew, he was going into the place of nightmares...a place she couldn't reach.

And there was Mags...

Is this a dream?

Even if it is, she can't bear to let him go if she isn't forced to.

Her clasp tightens and then she tilts her face up at his with all the quietness of a low tide in the earliest of morning hours, radiating the kind of calm she can't quite channel without him to anchor it.

Dependent, yes, but it's a little because he gives her back some of herself every time he acknowledges her, and then he lets her keep it.

Doesn't take it back like the Capitol, like...

... ]

DO NOT LET THEM KEEP US APART MY DARLING protects_her November 30 2010, 03:22:42 UTC

[Even as she tilts her face up, he is already bending his down to meet her; this is how they are, she and him, like two halves of one whole joined at the lips. His arms are shaking as he holds her tight; it's been so long since he's seen her, so long without being able to hold her like this, and it's so hard to believe that it's real.

But it is.

When he speaks, it is soft and barely above a whisper, his forehead resting against hers; it's so hard to pull himself away for much more than a moment.]

Annie.
