[Locked to Luceti Residents]

My dear people of Luceti --

An invasion, all under the guise of a fantasy. What’s been done will not be forgotten. Certainly not by you, and not by the denizens of a dozen other enclosures who suffered similar attacks at the same time. As we speak, programmers and engineers hard at work combing through the barrier’s nuts and bolts. If the Cultists and his Lordship exploited some natural weakness in the dome, they will find it. Patch it up. Curious, isn’t it, that the Count chose yours to invade with his own two feet?

But there are other matters to discuss. I spoke with some of you only a few months ago. Let me announce more completely what I, back then, only intimated. I’m Carol, and I intend to spend some time in our little town. If you like, you can consider my resolve to continue my work here a sign of good faith. I remain unarmed and -- I assure you -- wholly peaceable. In this way, I hope I may have faith in you as well. After all, we are kin in a strange kind of way.

It is my duty -- as well as my pleasure -- to be Luceti’s liaison with the Organization. You must have many questions, concerns, and many many curses. Bring them to me, and we’ll see what can be done. We can talk here. But if any of you find the journals distasteful, you can also come have a seat with me at the sweet little tea shop. I’ll be there for the afternoon.

[As usual, this voiced post has a neatly typed 'written' section as well.

A thread with CJ can be found here.]

Good. [Because she didn't want to have to give up now. Either because of damage she'd done or because the Malnosso were just looking to destroy them, in the end.] I only killed the ones who attacked me, but... I was hoping they weren't with you all.

Your conscience may rest easy. Who are you, miss, who is so eager to fight for our cause?
shenevermisses: (All action)

My name's Clove. I'm originally from District Two of Panem.

[It probably doesn't mean anything to this woman, but it serves as an introduction.

And, well, it's a chance to tell one more person her name and what she wants.]


I want to be useful. To the Malnosso. All I'm really good for is fighting, but I try. To help when I can.

...Are you quite certain that's all you can do for us?

I don't really have any other skills. I was taught to fight, and taught to fight to kill. There... wasn't a lot else.

[Which might be one of the things she has difficulty with here. And knows it. All she has are her knives, is her ability to kill without remorse. Not exactly a wide range of skills.]

But there could be. I came here when I was very young, Miss Clove, and knew only little. But I didn't stay that way.

Let me put it another way, perhaps. The Organization likes a well-rounded resume.

I understand.

[A polite way of saying that someone who can only fight is useless to them. It's not surprising, not with what she knows of the Malnosso. And she does her best to maintain the sound of a Career, calm and confident. Not to let her disappointment into her voice.]

Me? I learned to yodel when I was still bound within an enclosure. Years later, it turns out that a fellow of mine in a weekly yodelling meet-up was responsible for filling a position for which I was quite well-suited. We make our own opportunities.

[...Well, she did enjoy it during the alternate life she'd been given.]

...Would tennis be a good place to start? Maybe?

...Tennis.

Is that the game with the sticks or the rackets?
shenevermisses: (Not impressed)

[Clove has to think about it. The terminology isn't something she's familiar with. Not anymore.]

Sticks with nets attached to them. And a bit net in the middle.

I believe I know it. Good recreation, probably. You want to play it?

I need to do something.

And during this last... change... [was it still a shift? or did coming from an invasion change what to call it?] I played it, and I remember liking it okay.

...Ah. Taking one good part of a bad thing and building on it. That's a good strategy, Clove.
