Who: Nova & U
Broadcast: fleet-wide; video
Action: On First Breath
When: August 14th, early morning
[ Nova looks... tired, especially if you saw her on her first day. She's sitting up on her bed and her space looks pretty immaculate and not at all lived-in. She looks a little anxious, and rebraids the bottom of her hair before speaking, visibly uncomfortable with the camera. ]
Uh. Hey. I guess. I hope I'm not waking anyone up. I'm new so... I don't know. I can't sleep. Does anyone have any tips? Or something? It's... well, it's not exactly quiet, because things make noise. But it's... sterile? It doesn't sound right, or smell right.
I don't really want to think about it too hard. Anyway. If you could tell me what you did when you were new...
[ She trails off, awkward and tired and lets the silence go on a little long ]
It's probably just a personal problem.

She was happy there. She had everything she needed.
[ Hopefully Katniss can at least take some small comfort in that ]
video;
....Good. I'm glad.
video;
[ The concept of being in a situation where you don't have enough to eat is ... admittedly, still rather foreign to her, but obviously, that much is rather important. ]
Sorry -- this must be really strange to hear about. [ Since she doesn't know her and all ... ] If you want to ask me anything, go ahead.
video;
I wish I could remember.
video;
[ She sighs ]
Part of the deal was having your memories messed with in some way, a lot of the time ... so it's really annoying.
[ She pauses ... but oh! Wait! ]
Oh -- but I do have a photo somewhere. Hold on.
[ She gets up from where she's sitting, leaving the communicator behind, and goes to the wall behind her, searching for something in what looks to be a wall full of the things ]
video;
video;
Here we go. Uh -- can you see it okay?
[ She tries to adjust it so the camera won't be blurry and she can get a clear view of the photograph ]
video;
[ she's really, really not sure what to make of visual evidence. not to mention all of the mental energy she's spent trying not to miss people, trying to stay focused on her goals and not let anything distract her. it's all a lot to take in and despite herself, she tears up ]
video;
--Oh! Um --
[ THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you --!
video;
No, it's— it's fine. I haven't been sleeping and I. I forgot how much I miss him. Everyone, really.
video;
Yeah, it's -- uh. I mean, I miss him, too.
[ She's more firm and insistent now: ]
Seriously, if you want a plant, you can have it. Not the same as a forest, but it's better than nothing.
video;
[ a beat, while she tries to regain some semblance of levity ]
So, were you two like... a thing?
video;
[ ... Her cheeks flush a little. ]
Um ... yeah, for awhile.
video;
I hope it was... a good experience?
Okay. That was awkward. What I'm trying to say is he's a great guy.
video;
[ She pans the camera over to the table in her room -- it's got a few different options. ]
... Yeah. It was great. [ She hasn't ... really talked about it at all in the months and months she's been here, and had even ... well, essentially moved on. So it's a bit awkward, but ... ] Just, I got pulled here in the middle of that, and haven't seen him in about a year, so.
Re: video;
And. Sorry. It's probably weird to talk about.
video;
It's fine, I just -- nobody here really knew him much, so there wasn't anything to say about it.
video;
video;
[ Gale had always said that he felt out of reach of the part of her life that had been spent during the Games. It was something he couldn't fully relate to, a part of her that existed separately from him. ]
I'll be right over.
[ She shuts off the video feed, and jumps in the shuttle to head over to the First Breath ]
video;
[ waits, kind of nervous ]
ACTION FOREVER?
Where u at, Katniss ]
